Oliphant was not planning on climbing the ladder to power in these past three months as he had in his previous life. Before, he was a person who had lived a life he deemed 'proper' by his standards. He had gone through his fair share of hardship and comfort. In these past three months he realized that in this world between those without magic power and those who do the former can only live in hardship, but for him that didn't mean that he should accept this reality and forget about his previous life like it's nothing and pursue the feeling of individual strength and power over all life ,that this world could offer him. Instead he was feeling out of place.
He missed home.
Being sent to another world really didn't bring joy to him, the first thing that made him feel this way was that he almost died upon just arriving and had to endure pain, the other thing was also the worry he felt for his family in his previous world. Were they even doing well after his untimely death? Afterall they were his pillar of support and strength and the reverse also applied, so he figured if he raised his strength in this world to a high level, he may even be able to go back home. Just as he got here then leaving was not impossible.
Oliphant was now expelled and living a normal life on small village just outside the academy, he was out fishing and had pretty much adjusted to living this normal life and integrated well in this small community. Meanwhile he was inwardly thinking of a way to undergo an awakening without getting noticed and accumulate his power quietly. But why would things go so easy for him? No matter how much you plan trouble will always come knocking on your door no matter how quietly you want to live.
The pair that was observing Oliphant had reached a point in their conversation where they started talking about why this prodigy had be expelled and reduced to such a state of a mere mortal.
The well proportioned Shadow Corp disciple spoke with a sweet voice and said. "If he was as great as you say then he must surely know and have a lot of secrets, why don't we force him to spill the beans, maybe we can also climb up in ranks like him and become influencial figures in the future. "
The man with the three colored mask replied. " I'm a man who practices caution what if this is all his ruse, that guy is too insidious, someone who can casually eliminate his own fellow disciples and get away with it as being an accident is not someone we can provoke even in the state he may be in now."
"Was he really that terrifying?"
"Like you wouldn't know, you saw the movement ability, it is not an easy task to fly you know."
"Be that as it may, let me show you that this guy is just really a cripple who got cast aside by the academy as he has no further use!"
The the three colored masked man had a bad feeling all of a sudden and the female disciple had already turned into a shadowy snake figure that jumped from shadow to shadow and quickly approached the boy with a rod in his hand.
" No something's wrong....get away from him!!!! " The masked man screamed. The girl had already extended out her hand in a palm towards Oliphant's back.
Baam!
The blow delivered to Oliphant landed on his back as he fell into the pond he was sitting next to.
"See I told you there's nothing to worry about."
"Was my judgement wrong? How could there be no one guarding him?"
"I told you he means nothing to anyone now." the hooded female said as she used some kind of power to attract Zakia's neck to her hand.
"Damn it! what's going on, these people are relentless after the old hag its these guys, have they decided to finish me off?" Oliphant thought.
"Don't even try to waste time with me tell me everything about why you lost your magic, and your wide range area of effect spell you used to take down your own fellow disciples I also want to know about it." The female demanded an answer with a slight smirk on her face.
"And..why would I do that, you can kill me for all I care....this world has been nothing but suffering for me." Oliphant said as he forced words out while being chokeheld.
"Chausiku stop I don't think its a good idea to ask him about that you could be executed, plus this guy looks like he has given up on living already." the masked man voiced out his opinion as he took a stance of vigilance since he never dared to underestimate such a person.
" What? Are you going to tell on me? " she said with a smirk on her face.
In the next moment a chilling aura descended in the area the female disciple named Chausiku felt like the hand on Oliphant's neck was starting to feel like it was holding nothing, when she looked at her hand it seemed like it had been bitten off by the neck she was holding, blood suddenly gushed out everywhere and some of it splattered on Oliphant's face and clothes immediately making him look demonic. He was suspended in mid air and his eyes had only the whites visible as if he was possessed.
"You.. What is up with your body!!!" Chausiku screamed as she backed up.
The masked man backed up even more as he already had a bad feeling from the get go.
Oliphant's body suddenly released a suction force around a fifty meter radius of the pond area.
The two disciples got swept up by a storm and got pulled towards Oliphant as the upper soil and along with the trees and the small animal life in the vicinity was pulled towards him like a maelstrom.The Shadow Corp disciples were forcefully dragged towards him as as they left deep skid marks on the ground, they also had to defend against the debris and some of the trees nearby coming towards them, the disciples each use their methods to try and escape.
One turned into the a shadowy snake figure and quickly slithered out the range of the suction force, the man with the mask made the three colors of his mask melt off of it and covered his body in a three colored liquid, his muscles quickly bulged and gleamed out of his uniform tearing it slightly. He used all the accumulated strength brought by him being swathed in three colors to dash out of the suction zone with a single leap leaving a small crater in the ground.
"I told not to provoke him now everything is compromised!!! What will we do if he reports us about asking about that spell?!" the three colored bulky humanoid figure shouted at Chausiku with rage.
Before Chausiku could even try and apologize on her actions she saw a figure behind the man gleaming with three colors.She saw the figure raise it's index finger to poke right behind the burly man's skull.
Before she could scream to warn her companion.
Zwiing
The head of the gleaming man was swept off his neck as it was quickly absorbed into the finger. His lifeless and headless body went down on its knees as it fell to the ground and started bleeding out the headless neck, it was at this point when Chausiku snapped out of her daze.
"..... Bwana?... BWANNAAAA!!!" she realizes that her fellow disciple brother has been killed off in one move.
