Vulcan's Warhammer, a weapon of immense power, countered Argus's assaults with ease. With every parry, Vulcan's battle experience became evident. However Vulcan notice that as the fight continues Argus clumsy slashes started becoming more firm and slowly becoming refine.
Argus face that full of emotion a while ago turned into a stoic face with his eyes gazing cold at him. Unknowingly his two innate skills activated again.
Sovereign's intuition
Sovereign's apathy
'This kid, it's like he became a new person.'(Vulcan)
Argus did not notice his change. This always happens to him when he was in a fight or when he was concentrating on something. Vulcan was not the only one notice this change. Astelle, Kelvin, and Rex also notice this. Kelvin and Rex has already regained their consciousness during the fight of the two.
"Who's that?"(Kelvin)
Jokingly asked by Kelvin.
"What's with Argus, he looks like a different person. There is too big difference from his usual lazy-face."(Astelle)
"Ah that... That is his face if he began concentrating or when he is in a battle that makes him excited. I called it Argus's Battle Mode."
""Battle Mode?""(Twins)
"Yeah... You cannot easily notice it, but Argus is a battle maniac. He do not like trouble but he also did not avoid trouble. That is the reason many bullies at our school pick on him, I have a big part of it though. Anyway, he tried to ignore them as long as they does not cross his bottom line but as a bully..."(Rex)
Rex begins telling them about Argus's street fights and school fights.
"Ah I'm sorry my story got sidetracked... The bullies keep coming at him so he also keep confronting them. Almost everyday someone will challenge his limits so almost everyday he beat someone. Until suddenly all of those bullies and street thugs tried to gang up on us."(Rex)
[Flashback: Rex's POV]
2 years ago when Rex was just transferred. Some envious people wants to challenge Rex but he just ignored them.They stopped targetinv him but targeted his friend Argus. That is also the beginning of Argus's rise in the school. He keep beating those people who challenge his limits but they all still keep coming. Rex also help him beat those people since he knows that he was the reason why Argus became their target.
There are enrolled in public school so the population was large and the bullies are everywhere. One day, they stopped pesting him which makes Rex suspicious. That event happened for a week.
The next week, while the two was walking on a public street. The two did not notice that they were being slowly surrounded. Rex notice it but it was already too late. A group of 30 people. Almost 7 times what they beat every day.
They were being lead by Dayn Crozlu. Some of them have brought pipes and some of them have baseball bats. Fortunately none of them brought any bladed weapon. They were still afraid of Rex's retribution.
'Looks like they know the limit.'(Rex)
Rex face became grim but he did not try to run. Argus just looks at them with his lazy face, seemingly bored. He is not afraid of trouble that is also the same for Rex.
'At worst we will just be beaten hard. Of course I'm gonna take down as many as we can.'(Rex)
A smirk appeared on his face as he looks at the person beside him.
"Oya oya, who is this two young man?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... Isn't this the young master of the Obscurite Clan and the other one is his brother Argus isn't?"
"Hehehe"
"So what are we gonna do know?"
"What do you mean what are we gonna do? Isn't that given already?"
"Right, right, right. I forgot."
"Of course before we begin we can ask the opinion of the young master that let us gather here for these 'special occasion.'"
"""Hahahaha"""
All of them laugh. Dayn step forward and look at the two with a big grin on his face. It looks like he already beat the two of them.
"Quiet!"
"Ahem ahem... Before we start this special location. I would like to thank all of the participants who are here today to join this 'special occasion.' I will not need to make a long speech so... Kill them!!!"(Dayn)
Of course that is an exaggeration only.
"Yeah!!!"
"WAhhh!!!!!
There are currently near the school so many people especially students are watching what is happening. No one on the School Faculty wants to intervene since they know that all of this people know their limits.
At most they can do experience is a broken bones and internal injury. As long as no one died it will be okay. They also thought that this will be a good battle experience to them, albeit a bit brutal.
"Come here you monkeys!"(Rex)
Rex do not want to lose with their momentum so he just taunt them. The two run on the part of the circle where there is lesser people.
"We will not let you past!"
"Hahaha this is for revenge!"
"As if you can defeat us?!"(Rex)
Rex kick the first person who spoke. Argus also punch the other one. A student brandish the pipe to try to hit Rex but he dodged. Argus saw this and he elbowed the arm of the attacker and he didn't held back.
Crack
"Ahhhhh!"
The students hand broke. However it also prevented them from coming out of the circle. They were now fully surrounded but they are still space to maneuver of course. Their enemies cannot attack otherwise.
"F***, they're too many!"
The bullies and thugs started ganging up on them. Argus and Rex tried their best to reduced their enemies but it looks like they keep increasing. The 30 people became 40, then became 53. It would have been keep increasing if the Faculty didn't intervene.
No matter how they ignore this fight if their enemies keep piling up, isn't this too negligent? The two are already fighting 15x their number and was at disadvantage from the start and their disadvantage just grows so they intervene.
Argus and Rex was already covered by blood since they cannot dodge all of their attacks. Especially Rex's, he has taken too much hit unlike Argus. Rex was also beginning to get tired.
'F***, we already taken down 21 of them. When did they became so many. The f*** is the faculty doing, allowing this monkeys to keep piling up. Aghh my whole body and head hurts from those clubs and hits. F*** I will take another 5 before I go down.'
"Hey brother, 5 is my limit how about you?"(Rex)
Rex then notice that their enemies felt a bit fear. He didn't think about and he continued fighting.
"No, focus on him. He will get tired after a while so just focus on him."
"What happened to him?!"
"Is he possessed?!"
"Why does he became more scary?!"
Rex notice that their target is not him anymore. They avoided him and charged at his back. Rex then notice the fearful face Dayn Crozlu was making. He was trembling in fear looking at something on his back.
'What makes him tremble?'(Rex )
Rex looks at his back only to see thugs and bullies flying from time to time. Their enemies are surrounding something but it looks like they are the one at disadvantage. That something is none other than Argus.
When Argus face his direction Rex became shock. It was his first time seeing Argus with that stoic face. Almost everyday he has that lazy looking face or that bored looking face. Rex also felt that Argus is releasing an aura he cannot explain.
""""Ahhhh""""
Their enemies was either sent flying or will get a broken bones or be hit unconscious. Rex after realizing that the fight was still on going help Argus take down enemies. Rex did not spend much effort since their enemies focuses on Argus and simply ignored him.
Until only Dayn left. 52 students was lying on the street. They either have broken bones or unconscious. Those who are awake is wailing nonstop.
"M-m-monster!"
"F-f-freak!"
"M-m-merciless!"
The two ignored them and look at Dayn. Who is know sitting on the floor trembling in fear.
"Do not come here! They force me to come to you or else they will beat me to death!"(Dayn)
"Oi, oi ,oi at least make a believable lie. Tsk."(Rex)
Rex look at Argus who was back on his normal self.
"What are we gonna do with him?"(Rex)
"Do what you want. I want to rest. Sigh..."(Argus)
Rex nodded, he look at Dayn with sinister face.
"No!!!"(Dayn)
In the end, Rex broke all of his limbs and slapped his faced until it became a pig. After that both of them go home. The two enter the school the next day with bandage all over their bodies. The people on the street and the students look at the two of them with a fearful face. The girls are different though since they are squealing when they saw the two. These is also the time where they get the nickname Twin Devils.
