Chapter 1 - The Nuisance

"Stop you little devil !" shouted a fat man who was chasing after a young skinny boy. The man was dressed in a chefs outfit with grease stains all over his white apron, sweating profusely while chasing the boy. The boy was holding two loaves of bread and was running and maneuvering through the crowd. As the boy was running someone bashed into him and he fell down dropping the two loaves of bread. While he was on the ground he looked up and saw a face he knew well but wished he could bash with a rock .

"What the hell man, you just ran into me." said the boy that did the bashing whose name was Henry.

"Ronan do you really want to get beat up again so badly." he said cracking his knuckles while grinning.

"Tsk." the boy on the ground who was referred to as Ronan clicked his tongue, he ignored Henry and looked behind him seeing the chef coming close to him with steam coming out of his nose.

"You little bitch !" shouted the chef "You stole those two loaves of bread from my kitchen." said the fat chef still sweating profusely. Ronan looked way from the chef and scrambled up to look for the bread, but before he could he was punched in the face, on looking up he saw Henry grinning devilishly.

"How could you steal from chef Gregory you little thief." shouted Henry. On looking up Ronan saw that he was surrounded by people looking at him disdainfully.

"It's him again, just last week he stole my uncle's clothes and did Gid knows what to it." said a young woman.

"This kid really needs to be punished he has just been causing nothing but problems in this town." Aman this time wearing a regal suit with a top hat.

"Thank you young man." The chef said to Henry. "You stopped this thief from running away with my bread."

"Don't worry." Henry said. "I can't see injustice and turn a blind eye. I'm just trying to protect this town from ml the likes of him." Henry said while looking at Ronan who was getting up from the ground.

"What's going on here? " A man dressed in a guards outfit came and everyone made way for him. He was a man 6'2 in height with a messy and unkept beard with muscles underneath his outfit, and he was also bald.

On looking at the man, Ronan irises shrunk as he scampered way running as fast as he could. Before he could get far, he couldn't move his leg again. On looking down, he saw his feet inside the ground. On looking back, he saw the bald headed man pointed toward the ground he was standing on and walking forward.

"You again? " The guard said. "I taught I warned you last time that if I caught you causing mischief I would punish you. "

"Let go of me you bald fuck !" Ronan shouted. Immediately he said that a vein popped on the guards bald headed and immediately he struck Ronan on the face causing him to fly and crash into a food stand.

"You fucking nuisance !" The guard spatted. "The next time you insult an officer of the law especially one that is an Advancer I will kill you. "

The man snorted and walked away. Everybody else didn't care to attend to Ronan and the chef picked up the two loaves of bread and handed one to Henry. "Here you go kid. Take it as a thanks for stopping that devil. "

Henry took the bread with a smile. "Thanks chef Gregory and don't worry I will make sure to teach that bastard some manners later on. " Henry looked at where Ronan flew of to, snickered and walked away.

"Ugh.... That son of a bitch. " Ronan said while getting up. He was bleeding from his mouth and head. He touched the one on his head and flinched upon touching it.

"I'll kill that son of a bitch one day. " he muttered imagining Henry with his face soaked with blood.

Ronan sighed thinking of how he had nothing to it this night and decided to go home or what he called his home at least.

He began walking to the towns public dump site on reaching there it was guarded with a fence. He scaled the fence carefully to avoid falling down because he still felt dizzy from the strike he received from the guard.

He gritted his teeth in thinking how it was all Henry's fault. He wasn't even trying to stop him I'm the first place he just bumped into him, but due to his thin build due to the cause of malnutrition he felled down while Henry took all the glory.

He finally scaled the fence without hurting himself on the process and headed to a shack where he use to sleep.

As Ronan opened the door he saw the place he knew all too well. It was a relatively small shack with no furniture. There was just a bath tub where he used to sleep.

Thinking of it he felt that sleeping on the floor was more comfortable than sleeping in the tub, but he couldn't because it got dangerously cold at night that his week body couldn't handle the cold.

Thinking about the event that occured earlier he thought about the guard and the power he used. That guard was an Advanced people that had the power to flatten mountains if strong enough. Advanced where grouped into Low tier Advanced, Middle tier Advanced, High tier Advanced and Peak tier Advanced. The where also group into Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Masters, Transcended.

And there is also the regular that is for people like him who don't have any powers. The guard should be a middle tier novice by Ronan's estimation. And that fucker Henry was a low tier novice which was frustrating cause he was the main problem he had in this town.

Henry had the ability to make his body into light steel which wasn't very strong, but for people like Ronan who had no powers, he was akin to a devil.

Ronan sighed and wanted to remove his clothes or should he say rags because of how torn and dirty it was when he heard a voice he hated so damn much.

"WHERE ARE YOU BITCH !!" Henry shouted.
