Two days has past, and the news of the incident that I was responsible with. Has now resurface, and gained traction inside the media. The seven thugs were now detained, since they were all minors. Except Tray, the one who I had a fight with barehanded.
James also was mentioned, the news said that he was the one who was in charged of the thugs. Furthermore, they still yet to catch the one who was responsible for beating all of them. They have said that, there will be no punishment for the vigilante who had beaten all of them up.
The main reason, was that all of them had records of extortion and robbing innocent by standers. Thanks to the vigilante who beaten all of them up, which was me, they were able to catch them and detain all of them for six months.
After that news spread, all the students were talking about one student, James. Some of them were bad mouthing him, saying things like...
"That bastard deserves that"
"Thats what you get by acting all tough"
"Karma is a bitch"
Which were all reasonable why they felt that way, after all even before he suddenly stormed our classroom, and caused trouble. He was bullying students, that could not protect themselves.
Demanding money from them, and also harrassing and assaulting the girls inside the school. Which all of are great offense, with all of that, i wondered why he was not expelled even before he was detained...
"The power of connection apparently"
It is disgusting what the power of connection can do, it can cause people to do horrible things that will just be brushed off. James's father is friends with the principal, which explains why he was not expelled after doing all of that.
Typical plot of a manwha, but is very true inside the real world. It is unfair, especially when the principal and that dick riding teacher, threatened me for expulsion. It is quite ironic to be honest, the bad guys get away wuth anything, while the good guys get punished.
Well, not all of it are true. For example, now. James and his crew are now detained and the principal is now being questioned, about what had happened. It does feel good when justice has been served, it is been a long time since it had not been served.
After the morning class, as usual Amelia and I ate at the back of the school. We were talking about the news of James, Noah was also present to discuss about the matter...
"Its about damn time that James faced the consequences of his actions"
"Yeah, especially when he suddeny punched Clint inside the classroom"
They were having an aggresive conversation about James, that guy is hated by everybody. Also, it was only today i had learned all that about James, and what kind of person he is. I did not know he was that a low-life scum of a person.
Remembering about yesterday, it was an incredible feeling of fighting someone. Especially inflicting fear and pain onto the pursuers, now I understand why there are so many people that want to be a vigilante.
I was thinking about wanting to be a vigilante, but the thing that held me from that thought, was the quote "Violence will only breed violence" which my grandfather omce said to me. I had asked myself, that is it worth to take that risk? Endangering oneself, so that he can protect others.
A dilemma had formed inside my head, and it was hard to choose between two alternate decisions. It questioned my moral and ehtics as a person, especially when you have the power to do the exact route that you want to take.
I remembered the movie "Punish" and it helped me on choosing, what I think is the best option...that is choosing the first option. After all, I do not have anything to do inside this world. I also cannot go to the other world because I have to attend school, doing it might help me level up and also kill some time.
The decision was set, and fixed. With that, I cannot just go into a world that I am not familiar with unprepared. I had to plan out my actions, one wrong move can get you killed and that is something that be paid with your life.
After I had eaten dinner, I opened up the map. There were a lot of shaded area, a lot of ground to uncover. I knew that what I am doing is stupid, but isn't life already stupid? Then why not live the life you want to live, and not just waste your life doing nothing.
When it was midnight, I locked my door and turned the off the lights inside of my room. I jumped off my window, since it was not that far of a drop. I stretched out my body, and put on a mask before I was on my way on covering all of the shaded area.
The air was cold, luckily I wore a jacket. I rode my bike around the shaded area, so that I can preserve my energy for later. When I had made a circle on the map, I began to walk and uncover the shaded area by not using my bicycle. There were a lot more to go, I only had uncovered a small part of the map.
My MP recovery had improved, it barely goes down whenever I tried to run. But, fatigue still was present even if my MP is recovering fast. After an hour, sweat began to come out off my pores and my legs were beginning to ache.
I took a break from a while, grabbing water inside the inventory. While sitting down on a wall, I looked at the sky and there were a lot of stars present. Not unlike the past days, it reminded me of the other world.....
"Everard is probably thinking that I ditched my job"
Judging by his personality, he is probably mad at me right now. Since, I was the one who enthusiastically want to work for him. Everard is a mature person, he will probably understand my absense, if I make up a reasonable reasoning.
After I took a break, I continued uncovering all of the shaded area inside the circle of the map, i made earlier. It took me almost three hours to uncover it all, there were a lot of tight spaces and shaded areas that are located on houses.
I was tired, and wanted to sleep. I can barely open my eyes, and my body wanted to shut down. When I was trying to go back home, there was this roadway without lights to expose the dark.
I noticed that there was a person in a white dress, its fsce were covered with long black hair and it was holding a knife, on its left hand. Judging by it, I knew that I was inside of a dream.
I grabbed the sword inside the inventory, pointing the point of the sword towards it. I was prepared on taking a fight with it, instead of charging towards me. It walked inside the dark roadway, it was a smart move. It probably thought of ambushing me, if I try to follow it inside the dark roadway.
Grabbing a flashlight inside the inventory, I turned on the flashlight and pointed it towards the dark roadway. I was horrified that there were several people, laying dead on the roadway, they were killed by it.
I knew that it was dangerous for me to walk any further. My pride took over my body, and thought to myself that I can take it down.
Making my way on the dead people on the street, I feel myself about to puke. The smell of rotten flesh and blood took over the area, I woke my mask back, I still could smell the rotten flesh through the mask.
I had no choice but to minimize the amount of breath I take, if not I would literally puke due to the smell.
After walking for a while, the roadway seemed endless. The further I go, the worse the smell gets. I had to puke a minute ago, my nose could not handle the smell and had no choice but to puke.
It was nauseating, I did not want to ealk any further. All of a sudden, I felt something holding my leg. I looked down and it was the dead people, they all started to crawl towards me. It was horrific and traumatizing sight I have seen, I have watched many videos of beheading and degloving, but it was managable to watch.
But this was a different matter, maggots were falling out of their rotten flesh, brains were exposed and the smell kept getting worse after they started crawl towards me.
I could not take it anymore, I wanted to get out of this dream and do not want to experience this. I tried to run away, but they stopped me by holding onto my leg. Due to it, I fell and broke my fall on the squirming deceased people.
