As the boy charged towards us, I couldn't help but wonder, "Who's this fool now?" It had been about three minutes since our brawl began, right in the middle of the road connecting the bathroom hall and the training hall.
A crowd had gathered to watch, bystanders from both the training hall and the restroom hall. They kept their distance, not daring to intervene. Frankly, I didn't blame them; it wasn't their fight, and I preferred it that way. We all had our own battles to fight, after all. We should mind our own business.
So I returned to my business.
'System, as I was asking, use all my attributes increase card into strength.'
Strength : 9 ➠ 12
'POWER. So much power. I can feel every vain bulging in my body as it's being filled will raw energy. I just increased it by 3 point. Yet I feel so much stronger.'
[Huh, you are being overdramatic.]
'However, I feel as if my power has been doubled. No, it should be tripled.'
[Because your stats surpassed 10. Every tenth stat point gives you more power then usual.]
I was standing up when I noticed one of the kids in the group flying away from a punch from the golden-haired boy. I was on the verge of falling back when I overheard him say, "Ops, I held back a lot though." in that tone. I could see he was sincere. Just how strong is he?
They were ready to battle again when I yelled, "STOP!"
"This is my fight!" I yelled as I dashed for the nearest person. He put both of his hands in front of his face in an attempt to deflect my punch as he saw me aim it. His feeble attempt to ward off my blow only served to amplify the satisfying crack as my fist met his resistance.
"Ahhhhhh!" he shrieked, stumbling back from the force of my strike. Seizing the moment, I followed up with a swift left hook, sending him careening to the ground in a dizzying spin. As I braced for his inevitable retaliation, I was met with silence. He lay motionless on the ground, defeated before the battle truly began.The spectators gawked in disbelief at the sudden turn of events, mirroring my own incredulity.
Everyone was looking at me dumbfounded. But I was dumbfounded as well.
'System?'
[10 was the boundary of G Rank. When you used attributes increase card on Strength it alone surpassed the boundary of human strength. Your opponents Vitality was only G Rank. So the reaction was normal.]
I didn't wait anymore before moving on to the next individual. Perhaps he was too stunned to block my punch. I poured everything I had into that attack. Despite the fact that he did not fly away three meters, I was able to fling him one meter.
There are only three left.
"Run!" As he realized he was in trouble, the leader attempted to flee.At first all of them had a chance against the awakened if they came all together. But now the situation turned different .They all dashed to the training hall.
Human emotions are weird, when I was getting beaten I didn't resent them. But when they ware running away realising they were in disadvantage it made me mad.
I knew I couldn't catch all three by myself So I chased down the leader, grabbed him by the neck, and yanked him back. His legs rose is the air and I crashed into him the ground .
' Oof, that must have hurt alot. ( ͡°з ͡°) '
Of course it would. He fainted right away from my strength . But it was satisfactory. It's a loss because the other group members fled, but I've achieved my goal. The issue was under control from the begining, If I had used the stats cards.
But I decided to handle the situation without relaying on system. I needed to get used to battling. As a result, I didn't use the attributes increase card right away away until it was absolutely necessary. But after utilizing it, I realized something.
'These guys were freaking pathetic. I can't believe I got so badly beaten by them. They were so weak when it came to one on one. They were so busy trying to run away that they couldn't even fight back.'
Well, lets not judge. Weaklings form a group, which makes sense. But they were so ineffective without their abilities. So if I had been in my peak shape, even without increasing my stats, I would have fought them better. They must have been so reliant on their strong ability that I can face them head on when they are unable to use it.
If that guy didn't interfere I might have caught the other members as well.
'Speaking of that guy, where is he now?'
I soon saw him when I looked around. But what surprised me was that he was clutching the collars of the two people who had previously fled. And he was dragging the boys with him as he walked toward me.
