Chapter 39 Retaliation
As they heard the sounds from above, both of them stopped talking and glanced at the stairs above them.
All they saw is the person of their discussion coming towards them. They were surprised. What is this guy doing upstairs… Was he listening to their conversation in secret?
As Azzy reached the downstairs, he ignored them and continued to walk on his way to the exit.
"You… Stop there, right now…" Azzy heard a shout from behind.
Along with him, there are a few students who stayed around, turned their attention.
He stopped and turned around. He recognized one of them. It was the one who shouted at him during the lunch period.
He stared at them with a blank face and asked with a plain tone. "What?"
"Did you hear our conversation, just now?" Reid, who agitated the fool asked Azzy.
"Instead of wasting your time studying here, you should go and write a novel," Azzy said to him, indirectly implying that he heard it.
He didn\'t wait for their reaction and turned around to walk away.
"You little sh** I told you to stop…" Unable to contain his emotions, Bay Passel dashed forward to punch Azrael.
Right then, a dark aura was released by Azzy. No, it wasn\'t just a simple dark… it was a death aura that\'s mixed with Protos energy.
The students as well as the attacker felt a powerful pressure on them.
Bay, who was supposed to punch, stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened in shock. What\'s strange is that he has higher soul power than Azzy, yet was crumbling under the pressure as if he was facing a higher rank Arcana Master.
Azzy turned around and looked at him. He wondered just what has he done to deserve so much hate from this stranger. They don\'t even know each other.
For no reason, this senior cussed at him during the lunch period. Now that he was minding his business, once again, this guy even tried to attack, almost violating the rules.
The more he thought about it, the more his rage increased and his aura started to thicken. The pressure also increased.
The students who were in the same hall and were paying attention gasped. They too felt enormous pressure. Those who have Purple or lower grade Arcana felt their Arcana spirits are terrified of this aura. It didn\'t make them feel good either.
Perhaps, the other students who were one in the training rooms sensed it. Leonard, Zona, and some students arrived at the scene.
They saw Azzy was staring down at Bay who was forcing himself to stand. As for the other behind him, he was already sitting on the stairs to take support.
"Stop it. What are you doing, Azrael?" Leonard shouted in anger. But there was no response from Azzy.
He started walking towards Bay who had a panic expression as he was seeing an illusion of a Reaper with a scythe was coming for his life.
Unconsciously, he stepped backward.
Azzy steps forward, Bay steps backward. He reached the steps and fell. Azzy stops.
Stopping before him, Azzy spoke in a plain tone, "As you can see, I can\'t control my strength. So, it\'s in your best interests not to poke me around. I don\'t want to accidentally kill you and get expelled. You mind your own business and I\'ll mind my own. Understand?"
He nodded in a daze.
Azzy turned around and walked away. No one said anything for a while.
From the corner of the hall, Claire was observing the situation. She was forcefully suppressing her divine aura that was almost leaking out after Azzy revealed his.
Looking at his back, she mumbled, "what\'s this energy that\'s making my divine sword spirit, so restless and expressing so much hate. It\'s as if he met his natural enemy.
This isn\'t the first time either. It would be easier if it could communicate with me and tell me what\'s going on."
Meanwhile, Leo was angry. He didn\'t know the whole story and just thought this troublemaker was bullying his follower.
At first, he thought of stopping him, thinking that Azrael is going to attack Bay but then, he felt his Arcana beast was scared of Azzy\'s dark or whatever aura that is.
In the end, he just stood there like a statue until Azzy\'s back disappear from his sight.
At the same time, a person was observing the scene from the control room. Looking at the monitors, the man mumbled, "So this is the disciple of Barton? Interesting…" He grinned.
The rumors started with the truth that Bay tried to fight with Azzy because he was rejected by Claire. But, the rumors never stay the same. It becomes exaggerated as it passes from one ear to another.
Without both of them knowing, Azzy and Claire already became a campus couple. Because of that, she decides to avoid him for a while.
With Leo working behind the scenes, he successfully alienated Azzy. He was labeled as a bully and a bad guy who don\'t respect his seniors or teachers.
Azzy was fine with it and thought it is for the best. After all, he doesn\'t want to spend time with people so that he doesn\'t feel any attachment when he leaves for his timeline.
His classmates found him attends the morning classes regularly but disappears in the afternoon, only to find him again at the training grounds-1 by the end of the day.
Leonard knows the truth from one of the teachers. So, he didn\'t directly troubled Azzy either using the disciplinary committee.
A week passed peacefully for Azzy without any troubles. He still wasn\'t able to create the Decarune sealing to control his strength since he was busy with other things.
The whole afternoon, he was taught by the Principal about runes, history, a theoretical debate of how to combat a beast in different situations, card creation, etc…
The second weekend arrived. As usual, everyone wore their school uniform and wait in their classrooms.
Azzy arrived.
"Azzy…" Gideon waved his hand with a smile. He took an empty but this distant relative of his sat beside him as usual.
He\'s the only student who decided to stick with Azzy. While the grade-10 students are unhappy with Gideon, the others didn\'t alienate him as they did with Azzy.
Azzy wanted Gideon to stay away too but he stuck to him like glue even though he stopped talking to him.
Strangely, Leo also didn\'t make things hard for Gideon. Azzy can\'t help but suspect he might be just waiting for the right time.
"Grade-8, the bus arrived. You need to go."
Azzy followed the rest of the class. As he reached the downstairs, he saw everyone from grade-9 and grade-10 of Elite divisions are gathered.
Azzy felt a murderous gaze. He turned his head and saw Bay was staring at him. His eyes were red.
Grade-8 to Grade10 students from the Elite division boarded the bus together.
The other students are following in other vehicles provided for them.
It didn\'t take long to reach their destination, the Portal point.
