"What are we going to do, The six dragons asked for 200 credits by the end of this week. That means we'll have to collect credits from 20 students and so far, we have collected from five students. Fifteen students more to go." One of the boys said. The six dragons were students like them but they were like a leader over the three students. They walk all in six and were called the six dragons.
"I know, why did they have to pick on us, just because we're weaker than them." Another boy replied.
Even though they were at military school, they still needed credits to spend on things they want. There were still restaurants and shops and even fun activities and games to play all around the school. If you wanted to do these things you would have to pay with credits.
Students received free food while at the school but they also received a daily amount of ten credits that would be sent to their access cards. The students were able to get more credits by performing well on missions, school activities, and rewards.
Kevin and Lexa could see the students chatting amongst each other but they continued to walk past the boys to head to the garden, that's when one of the boys called out to them.
"Wait, stop right there you two!" the boy shouted.
Lexa and Kevin ignored them and carried on walking.
"Hey, are you guys listening I said stop." The boy said, then another boy immediately got in front of Kevin and pushed him and Lexa back to where the other boys were standing.
"Are you ignoring us or what? Do you need a beating before you come to your senses." The boy said and the others made Kevin and Lexa kneel on the ground. "Hand over 10 credits each and you can go on."
Lexa was annoyed and so was Kevin.
"But that's all the credits we have," Lexa said in a harsh tone.
"Look I don't want to do this but if I don't, I will be punished badly. Hand over the credits now."
Lexa looked at Kevin, wondering what he would do next, maybe spark 'em up with his lightning or something.
Meanwhile, Kevin was wondering if he could win a fight against these guys. He didn't know what their magics were. Would he and Lexa be able to fight these three students. Won't he be worried about protecting Lexa. And even still, they were in a public place. There are other students and soldiers passing by, although they didn't interfere even though they saw them kneeling before these students. He then decided to fight them, no one would blame him if he kills any one of the students but as he was about to tell Lexa to get ready for a fight, she had immediately whispered to his ears.
"Let's give them what they want, they seem so pitiful. It looks like they are in need of money." Lexa said and as Kevin wanted to talk to her to change her decision about the matter, he saw her present her access card to them. He couldn't stop her anymore.
Kevin then decided that it would be better off to just hand over the credits anyway. It was better than losing a fight and forcing the credits over.
Just then Kevin received a system message.
< A New quest has been given >
< A strong opponent has been detected. Has a powerful and deadly magic, thereby making him strong >
< Additional exp will be awarded >
< Defeat the student known as Bryce >
Suddenly, Kevin wanted to test out his chances. The idea of gaining additional exp and levelling up even further became really attractive to him but Kevin wouldn't let his greed win him over. Right now there were three students in front of them but the system had only asked him to defeat one of them which means only one of them is stronger than him. If his theory is right, the system would only grant him quests to fight strong opponents.
One thing that he need to do is to find out which one was named Bryce among the three students. He couldn't just be asking them who and who is Bryce or it will seem suspicious.
In the end, Kevin decided to hand over the ten credits, Lexa placed her access card into the machinery device that looks like an atm machine and then transfered ten credits to them. Kevin ended up doing the same and the two of them were allowed to leave.
"Hey that was a great idea man!" one of the boys said, "Should we just stay out here until we find more weaker students again."
"What!" Lexa and Kevin said at once. They had walked a bit far from where the guys were but they could still hear their conversations.
"Are you hearing what I'm hearing?" Lexa asked and Kevin nodded.
"I know those guys are bullies." He said.
Lexa had thought that once they had paid them, the boys would stop and go away but it looked like they were turning it into bullying.
"So you thought they were going to leave? They made us kneel down because they were goddamn bullies and credit snatchers." Kevin said.
"People aren't to be trusted then." Lexa concluded in her mind.
Kevin suddenly stopped and waited. He had something in mind to do.
"Wait here Lexa, I'll be back."
"Hey what's wrong? You forgot something?" the boys said as they saw Kevin approaching them.
