Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Unknown

Back at home inside his room Sunz takes out the sword to have a look at it and he sees the damage was minimal but to the naked eye it would look brand new, he guesses that Jihu must be a well train sword man combined with his delicate nature, for the sword not to be smash into pieces. Sunz picks up the sword and tries to swing it around his room for some minutes then suddenly stops thinking to himself "What am I doing, is it too late, what is this adrenalin, I can improve". He continues swinging the sword until his body is all sore then just lies on the floor grabs the phone and starts texting Jihu

Sunz: Hey I wanna take up your offer.

Jihu: Oh finally, when do you wanna do it?

Sunz This week and let's just do the basics first if things go well let's advance to harder levels.

Jihu Sure and we will start on Sunday that when we have the whole place for ourselves.

Sunz Ok

Sunz looks at the time and said " 2 hours before sleep, what can I do?" Then he just fuck around for the next 2 hours and then sleep.

A few days later on Friday during recess, Sunz and Jihu were just having a conversation.

Jihu: So is your invisible ability still come in handy?

Sunz Yeah it's still good, It's only off if I do anything that causes attention or in certain classes.

Jihu: Why don't you like to interact with other students

Sunz It's not like I don't like to interact, but because I don't want to. If they and I don't vibe together then there is no point in having them as friends.

Jihu: So we are friends right?

Sunz: Well to a normal mind we look like friends but in my deranged mind we are more like a parasitic relationship.

Jihu looks confused: Am I the parasite?

Sunz points at himself " I am the parasite" then points at Jihu " You're the host".

Jihu thinks for a sec and said: But you are like a dead parasite and I just dragging you along with me to keep you survive. Because a parasite acts on its own will without consent, but you always ask me "Can we do this, where do you want to go, any news gossip at school".

Sunz: I just aren't as decisive as you, whenever I have an option I always make that one become ten different details option with start and outcome.

Jihu: Hey don't worry about that, you just have complex thinking. But enough chatting I've got some news for you after school there will be a fight in the school alley.

Sunz: who fighting who?

Jihu: It is the "gang of power" they were challenged by an unknown student.

Sunz: Oh those bullies that think they are all high and mighty just because they have abilities. Better worry more about the person who challenges them

Jihu is confused: why?

Sunz: There are 2 outcomes, first if this person can defeat the gang prove that they are a menace, two if they get beat or die by the gang that means they were just being impulsive.

Jihu: So what's your plan?

Sunz surprised: Plan? What plan?

Jihu: It sounds like you are pretty concerned about the unknown person, so I'll help out too.

Sunz realizes what Jihu means: Thanks for the offer, so the plan is during the fight if the unknown can't fight anymore that's when we help.

Jihu says with a confident voice: I know fighting is the main quest and helping is the side quest for you.

Sunz smiles with confidence: It's nearly 2 years and you already know me so well. You're right! After seeing what you did on that rainy day made me feel like I want to do what normal humans can't. You know just following your quote.

Sunz and Jihu at the same time: Talent comes at a young age but the moment for that talent to bloom is late.

After school Sunz and Jihu were waiting on the bench to follow the unknown and the gang to the fight, while waiting class rep appeared out of nowhere and asked Jihu in a low tone " Jihu do you want to walk home with me". Jihu politely refuses and says "Maybe next time", class rep nods and then walks away.

Sunz smirks: look at that the Korean genes are doing their job again

Jihu scratches his head while smiling: you making me blush, I know I'm popular around the girls, but you know that means class rep gonna pay more attention to us.

Sunz sigh: yeah but don't you feel strange she was more Girl than a role model during that moment and that worried me.

Jihu smile: You know that people act differently when they are around the people they like.

Sunz: Ok you're right, so you see any of them yet?

Jihu looks around, taps Sunz's shoulder, and says "There they are" Both stand up and follow them from behind.

Sunz looks at one of them closely and suddenly becomes serious and taps on Jihu's shoulder to tell him "That the kid in the rain!"

Jihu surprised: Are you sure we have never seen their faces?

Sunz: Trust me I am 99% sure. This recognizing thing rarely happens to me but when it does I've never wrong

Jihu: ok we're here…

Sunz looks around: But this ain't an alley what's going on?

Jihu takes Sunz to hide in a corner: I don't know either but all of them suddenly stop at this place so let's lay low for now

While hiding they start to hear people's voices

Unknown student: You want to fight in the open so you lowlife can call for help.

The gang leader smirked: Why should we fight in a narrow alley when we could fight you in this spacious land! Surround Him, boys!

The gang started forming a circle around the unknown student

Unknown student put his jacket down and his arm started emitting lighting: You just make the fight way easier for me. So are you ready or not?!

The gang has 4 members with different abilities so their names will relate to their abilities: Fire (leader), Strength, Psychic, Earth

The battle starts with Unknown approaching Psychic grabs each of his arms electrocutes them and knee him in the chest knocking him out. Now it's 3 v 1 Strength running toward Unknown with a baseball bat with murderous intent, Unknown tries to dodge the attack but he was chained to the ground by Earth and can't evade Strength's attack so Unknown charges up the electricity in his arm and when Strength swings his bat at deadly speed Unknown holds one arm up to block the bat and the bat was destroyed when it comes in contact with Unknown's arm leaving everyone in shock, with the other arm Unknown breaks the chain locking his legs and jump up deliver a punch into Strength jaw, the punch was not to knock Strength away but was intended to dig him a grave where he stands. Without giving anyone a second to breathe Unknown punches his hand into the ground and instantly Earth's body starts emitting lighting and suddenly collapses. Unknow removes his hand from the ground and dusts off both his arms.

Unknown: Hoping that the leader can do more than his lackeys!

Fire is nervous but still tries to look cool: With pleasure

Fire starts off the battle by launching a fireball at Unknown, Unknown catches the fireball with his hand, and Fire wonders why it did not explode or burn his hand suddenly electricity starts to cover the fireball like a net then Unknown throws the ball back at Fire, caught by surprise Fire summoned firewall to protect himself from the attack but an electrified fireball is way stronger than a normal fireball so it explodes when comes in contact with the firewall knocking Fire into the wall making him fainted.

Unknown looks at the battlefield around him ready to go home but suddenly Sunz comes out with the sword in his hand and declares that he wants to have a battle.
