[A few days back]
"Grover? That's his name?" Zenil said.
"He works for Amroh, and is about as strong as him. But, he lacks logic and rationality." Audrey replied.
"So, if I appear in the meeting in front of him, he will without any doubt attack me?"
"Indeed, after all you knocked out his best friend and made a fool out of him."
"Alright, but are you sure that he will appear in the meeting?"
"Yes, Amroh won't come, and Arnold is still recovering, so the only option is Grover, after all, Autumn Grove needs to flex some muscles."
"But are you sure that you will be able to take him on?" Dexter asked.
"Dexter, do you remember Newton's second law of motion?" Zenil said.
"Every action has a reaction?"
"That's the third law dumbwit! Force = m x a is the second law."
"Whatever, what has this got to do with anything?"
"I might not have the acceleration, but mass? I have got plenty of it." Zenil said as he winked at Dexter.

[Present time]
Grover was rushing towards Zenil, who was currently standing on the stage.
As soon as Zenil saw Grover, he knew for a fact, his plan was going to work.
Zenil walked over to the edge of the stage.
As soon as Grover stepped into Zenil's range, Zenil lept on him from the highground.
All of this happened so quick that no one understood what was happening, and who had just rushed towards Zenil.
Soon, everyone found Zenil sitting on the body of the well built boy who had came running towards him, and to everyones shock, the boy was Grover, a well known figure from Autumn Grove.
Zenil was sitting on Grove, and continuously spamming punches, hitting his nose again and again. Blood was flowing down Grover's face, and Zenil just kept hitting with a straight face and cold eyes. There was no remorse or guilt within him.
"He is so blood thirsty."
"Devil! Another devil has taken over Aurelian Academy!"
"Look at him, he is a psychopath!"
All sorts of whisperings could be heard withing the crowd.
'That's right! Fear me. Think of me as a psychopath. It's exactly what I want!'
Grover had already passed out, maybe it was due to the pain, or maybe because he hit the cold ground with a hefty amount of force.
After about thirty seconds of mercilessly beating Grover, Zenil got up and looked at Mark, "Don't worry, he's fine, just call an ambulance and continue he meeting."
Mark, Lisa, and Malik all three of them gulped, and looked at Grover's bloodied and disfigured face. Their eyes had signs of fear in them.
Zenil then nonchalantly went and sat down on one of the seven VIP seats.
A few boys from Autumn Grove took Grover to get some medical attention, while the meeting continued like nothing had happened.
"Well, that is it for today. I hope we meet soon. Also, a warm welcome to Zenil once again!" Mark said as he left the stage.
"Nice to meet you Zenil." Lisa said.
"Nice to meet you as well." Zenil said.
"Hope we could have a spar someday." Malik said.
"Maybe." Zenil said with a smile.
After a short exchange the other two reps left along with most of the people.
"You did well." Dexter commented as he walked towards me.
"Now, we have established the fact that you are strong." Audrey said.
Zenil simply nodded. "Let's leave, I am feeling nauseated."

After leaving the building, Zenil parted ways with his schoolmates and headed towards his home. "What should I cook today?" He softly murmured.
"Zenil!" Suddenly a feminine shout came from behind.
Hearing his name, Zenil instinctively turned around, and saw a familiar figure.
Beautiful blue eyes, short black hair, blue colored uniform, and a beautiful face. Though Zenil couldn't get a clear look at her face last time, but even without that, he identified this girl. She was to girl who sat besides Zenil in the meeting.
"You forgot about our appointment?" She asked as she walked towards Zenil.

[Zenil's POV]
"Huh?"
I was quite dumbfounded. I had totally forgotten that this girl, whom I had just met asked me out on date. Date? No, more like a meeting? I didn't even know anymore.
I was currently following her to a cafe she really liked. The sun was currently settling down, and a orange hue had taken over the sky. Street lights had turned on along with the market lights.
"By the way, you didn't even introduce yourself."
"Oh, how bad of me. I am Ayana, nice to meet you Zenil."
Is her ancestry African? She didn't look like it, her skin was fair to say the least. She didn't look like a hardcore white european, but instead more like a darker ivory skintone, beige, I think that's what it is called.
"No, I am not African. I know Ayanna is an african name, but my name is Ayana with a single n."
Hearing this an awkward smile appeared on my face, "How-"
"I know, most people have asked me this. My name is an anagram of someone else's name."
"That's cool." I murmured, "Well, what did you wanted to talk about?"
"You will learn in a second." She said as she looked towards me with a smile on her face while still walking.
Suddenly, she ran away from me. "Come, fast!"
She ran for a few seconds until she disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
Who the hell was she?
What did she even want?
Various questions ran through my mind.
Well whatever the case might be, I didn't feel like going back home. Even if I don't I find her, I'll atleast have a burger and then go home.
Then, I went deeper into the market, and about two minutes later, I heard a sound.
"Zenil! Here!" Ayana's voice came from a dark alleyway.
After hearing her voice I walked towards the alley, and stood on it's edge.
"Where are you?" I asked. "Why are you even here?"
I took out my phone and sent my location to Dexter.
"Come, here!" She said.
I couldn't pinpoint her location, or even see her figure in the dark. Even here voice was being reverberated through out the alley.
I felt like this was a trap or something, that's why I sent my location to Dexter. I hoped my hunch was wrong.
I walked into the Alley.
"What is it? Where are you?"
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Someone was standing behind me.
"I am here." Ayana said.
I turner around to see her, and to my horror, her eyes were glowing with a blue hue. Sparks of electricity were appearing around her glowing eyes. In the dark alley she looked radiant.
Suddenly, in the next moment I found my self pinned to the wall behind me, with the girl choking me.
"Who are you!" She asked.
"Help me! Help!" I screamed.
"Don't waste your breath, no one will be to hear you."
"Just tell me who you are?"
The way she spoke I immediately knew that she was not lying. No one could hear my screams somehow.
"I told you, didn't I. I am Zenil." I said, struggling. I was trying to remove her hands from my neck.
"Which group are you from?"
"Aurelian Academy."
"Don't play with me, which Empowered group are you from?"
"Empowered, what's that?"
At this point in time it was getting very hard for me to breath. I didn't like this feeling.
"Who are you playing with? You have already broken through the first core and you don't know it?"
"What do you mean!" I screamed. I felt irritated. I felt powerless. I felt…
***
"What do you mean!" Zenil shouted, his voice filled with rage.
His angry eyes started to glow with a black hue.
Instead of removing the girl's hand, Zenil suddenly threw a punch towards the girl. Just before the hand came in contact with the girl's cheek, a black flame engulfed Zenil's fist.
The punch was so sudden that the girl couldn't react and ended up losing her grip and fumbled a few steps.
"See, I was right." She said.
Soon, a cloak of electricity covered her body as she started running towards Zenil with a punch ready.
Zenil took the familiar stance and stood there to take the attack head on.
"What's going on here, you two?" A masculine voice came from the edge of the alley.
