I swear I'll beat this kid up one day
"So, you turned out to be a Space Mage, just like Uncle Amir said then you must not know-"
Speaking of Amir, he saw the two of us arguing and dismissed it as the little kids having a squabble and went upstairs.
"Space Mages are hated, I get it. But don't think I'm a regular Space Mage. You're looking at the Prince of Space Mages" I said proudly handing her the results I got from the B.M.E. she started reading it slowly.
"Name, Age, Hey genius, your body scans aren't here"
"They, must have forgotten it" I try to remember... it must have been the dwarf woman
Meanwhile in a lavish office in the B.M.E, a female dwarf sat in a leather chair watching movies on her laptop before suddenly remembering something and jumping out o her seat
"Wait. What was his Race again?" she didn't think she documented his race! In fact, after scanning for Energy she was so occupied in her thoughts that she didn't remember to complete the second set of scans!
'No need to overreact. At the end he chose to keep his results private so if I delete the file before the higher ups find out it'll be like this whole thing never happened.' yeah, that's my only option.
She didn't want to A). get in trouble with the Chief
She was actually a bona-fide Junior Ranker but even she didn't dare to belittle the might of THE ten Chiefs.
B).Owning up to her mistake and getting fined!
She started this job because she needed the money, she was just barely holding on till the end of the month!
She quickly opened up the system and opened his newly formed record before ruthlessly deleting it from existence! Even double deleting and triple deleting it to be sure
'Wait. What if I just asked someone to find him and ask him to come back for a second scan?'
After realizing she had overreacted and there might have been a better way she shrugged her shoulders and said 'oops' before going back to her movie.
"Sub-class, Space Mage..
Expected Energy lifespan… till 60! You'll be a very vigorous old man then. What's all that talk about not being a regular-" yup, I may be keeping my records secret but this guy has to eat it!
"EAR: 100%? What the hell!"
Yes, this is the reaction I wanted to see.
"Come on, what's YOUR Rate, if you plan on dishing out trash talk you should be able to take it!
"It's only 90%"
"Ooof. that's so low..."
"No, It's average. Perfect EAR occurs about ten times in each generation, for a particular sub-class with thousands of people"
His eyes were frenzied as he spoke, moving erratically. I could feel his emotions again. He was feeling, envy?
'Better keep on going then'
"Anyways, the person over there called me the 'prince' of Space Mages. Apparently I don't even need to work hard and I'll be something others look up to." I told her gloatingly. What was that about being 'something of a pet'? I will be the greatest.
"Congratulations. I'm happy for you. Just make sure not to waste your potential doing something stupid like spending all day on your new phone" she said dismissively.
Wow, does he 'always' talk this way. He probably doesn't have much friends
"Well that's exactly what I plan to do. Live my life spending all day on my phone" I already made plans since the moment I got this phone, what made her think I wanted to 'become the strongest' through hard work. No. Short cuts all the way!
"That's a very irresponsible thing to do. This isn't like your old home, you either-" okay I wasn't listening to any more of this crap.
"HEY! SHUT UP"
"You have the mindset of a loser, what you're doing"
"Lalalalalalalalala. I'm not listening"
'I should just leave this stupid room' is what I was about to do before I heard his next words.
"You act like a child"
"Yeah and you LOOK like a child" Silence. So silent you could hear a pin drop.
Amir was still watching from his seat, although he looked uneasy now. Meanwhile my target's face was blank. That's the face of a loser, we're different but similar
Perfect. I've been waiting to use this one since we met earlier. Sorry we couldn't be bros, sorry not sorry.
"Your parents did a poor job raising you.
SLAP
A clear sound rang out. His right hand was set in a catching position right above his face while heat was emanating from my palm.
His face that was frozen in an icy expression slowly thawed, shifting into an angry one
'What just happened?' the hand was there-
BOOM
I saw it before I felt it. Everything was going on in slow motion.
I could see him inhale deeply, wind from who knows where started blowing, causing his short hair to float in the air.
The moment before he exhaled his eyes suddenly turned silver. I saw a silver ring of light emerge from his body before scattering in slow motion. Then IT happened.
All of a sudden a pressure like rushing waves emanated from him pushing my back against the shelf and causing the TV, trophies on the shelf and the framed photos around to scatter all around the living room.
'It was at this moment he realized; he'd fucked up'
This wasn't the same as Amir's pressure where . This one was more substantious! Even now I could feel my thoughts getting foggier and it was as I my head was getting blanker.
'Is this his Energy?' I managed to process that thought.
I could feel my head throbbing with each wave rushing past me. But even more surprising was that the waves were starting to lift items in all directions in the air!
It started with small stuff like picture frames and trophies, then the mini-tables and footstools. The couch was steadily beginning to lift off.
What would that look like…
BOOMBOOM BOOMBOOM
Now it felt like my head was about to burst
I wasn't sure but I felt like I was going to die if this continued.
But suddenly the Energy waves slowed down before stopping. I could finally gain reprieve for my throbbing head.
The objects that were floating in the air finally settled down on the ground with a clatter.
I looked up to see Zayn glaring at me intensely. Eyes glowing silver briefly before returning back to their original color.
Once he was finished he immediately angrily stormed upstairs.
'What're you so mad about. I'm the one who should be planning my revenge\'
I barely managed to stand up from the shelf my back crashed into only to sense something outside my field of vision
As soon as I turned I was met with the sight of Amir's frowning face.
SLAP
I ended up 'collecting'. 'Yeah, this isn't my house. I'm just a leech until I start working'
"Never hit a woman, you hear me!"
"WHAT!" that short skinny stick shouta-femboy was a tomboy!
Ahh my head hurts.
