Whew, an android is just an android after all. It couldn't calculate the possibility that I came from a different world, and used the martial arts I learned there... Not like a human would know that.
Clap Clap Clap
I could hear someone suddenly clapping.
" Ancient Martial Arts, there I see." Kon and the others were the sources of the noise. It seems like they didn't expect my victory against this Droid, huh? Besides, what do you mean by Ancient Martial Arts? You're making it sound like I'm from the stone age with that line.
" You're getting better and better the further we watch you, Mon." Well, not like your expectations were already at their lowest, but thanks anyway.
It seemed like their clapping garnered the attention of the others, as I could see Winter, Leon, and a few other S-class students looking in my direction.
" Haa... thanks I guess." I said, quite unsure if they meant to compliment me or not.
With that done, I'm pretty satisfied with my performance already, so I went to the gravity chamber and worked on my physique. I could only hope they gave me a Ki collection technique.
I spent the rest of the time working out in the gravity chamber. Thankfully, I was able to remove my mask thanks to the walls covering me.
I peeked outside here and there and I could see the others also fighting the Droids earlier. It seems like I garnered some competitive people.
The assessment ended, and we were to return to the classroom. They still didn't tell us what techniques or what programs they were going to give us, so I was still quite unsure whether I could get a good technique for myself.
"Oi, Defect! " Someone suddenly shouts in the middle of the hallway as I was about to go into the classroom. They were definitely calling for me, as I was the last in line to go into the room.
" I'm here for your title." They said it again, and I could finally see who it was. Krean Jolie, the human monster, or at least what would be the human monster.
This self-conscious mother...I should have fed this fucker the artifact.
Huh, how did you get into S class?Did you become the bitch of someone here? I heard Mr. Fujin was into young boys. " He arrives next to me and puts his arm around my shoulder.
" Oh yeah? How about you? Why are you such a bitch but you still can't enter S class? " I retorted. I might be laying low and hiding my strength. But if you really want to lay low, You would have to be very mediocre, not someone incredibly strong nor someone who is weak. But in my case, being mediocre and laying low wasn't quite possible. And I'd rather be someone incredibly strong than a bottom feeder.
Krean seemed to be quite shocked at my retort, as he looked at me in a dumbfounded way.
...
" Ha... I guess your personality is quite strong, huh?! I guess this is what happens when you put cannon fodder in a group of commanders. You think you're special just because you were lucky. " Krean talked slowly, but you could see the annoyance and anger on his face.
" Not as strong as your wind magic." I slyly say this knowing he's insecure about his ability.
" You!... How did you? "
You didn't know someone could have a sharper tongue than you, huh.
" You... Do you know who you're messing with!? " He was really mad. He seemed like he would jump me any second now. Well, I was expecting him to attack me sooner, but he has quite a great hold on his emotions, huh.
" Oh, does the young master of the Jolie family threaten me by using his lineage at Tree? " I said this knowing full well that Tree doesn't allow the usage and abuse of their family lineage on the campus. Tree was also the strongest and best weapon humanity had, so their authority stood at the top, even rivaling that of the president. They did mention the S class student's lineage earlier, but that was just a way to brag and show off the strength of their students and the other factors that were mentioned earlier, such as hope for humanity and also motivation for others.
" No... I'm threatening a 1* loser as a 2* mage." Krean's eyes were out for blood. He was looking at me like I killed his closest friend or something... Well...
" I'm sorry, Young Master Jolie, but we can only ask for a duel next week. I'm afraid I can't take you up on your offer. "
" You're getting it wrong. This is not a duel, this is a beating. Come follow me " Krean says as he enters the restroom. There will indeed be no cameras there, so this won't be stopped until someone actually reports it.
" As you wish... " I smile. I'm not that reserved when it comes to beating up annoying people, after all. He might be a 2* hunter, but I'm not afraid to beat up some kids.
I entered the male restroom, and Krean was already standing on the opposite side of the room.
" It's time you gave me your rank defect. " "He says as he goes into a fighting stance."
" I should've let you fall into ruin." I say without giving it any thought.
" Wha- " I punched him straight in the face, as he got confused by what I said. He fell to the ground, holding his face.
" You dirty cheate- " He was lying on the ground with blood coming out of his nose as he looked at me in shock. I punched him again the moment he started speaking.
I wanted to show a scary impression to prevent this thing from happening again in the future, but it seems like he needed a few more punches before realizing that. He looked at me in anger as he pointed his arms toward me.
" You piece of shit. How dare you touch me! " He shouted as a gust of wind started forming in his palms.
That didn't stop me from punching him in the face again, though. " You see, mages stand in the backlines away from melee range, because there is a reason for doing so. I'll teach you why. " I say as I wipe my fist with the tissue on the counter.
" How.... a mere 1*... " He looked at me in confusion as he couldn't come up with a reason why I was stronger than him.
" If you were there during the assessment, you might've known why. However, someone from B-class, like you, would not. "
" I'd recommend you not make some enemies here. Your dad won't be able to save you after all. more so, when you're making an enemy out of an S class. " I pulled back my fist, as I didn't want to continue anymore. I was there to teach him a lesson, not to permanently damage his demeanor and body.
" Drink it " I threw out a potion that I bought from the vending machine to fix up his injuries. This was so that he would obviously heal and there would be less evidence that a fight broke out. I was getting the attention of the higher-ups already, so if they by chance found out I beat up a student on the first day, I was bound for failure.
Thankfully, Krean was a prideful arrogant guy. He'd obviously remove all the evidence pertaining to his defeat against the " Defect Hunter ". He looked incredibly lost and confused by what had just happened. Wasn't he a 1* Hunter? Was he hiding his strength? Was I an idiot? He was in the S class for a reason. That would probably be what someone with that face thinks about after experiencing such an overwhelming defeat against someone like me.
He brought the potion towards his mouth and started drinking it, so I went off my way towards the classroom...
Until I find Sol standing at the entrance of the restroom...
