Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter Thirty: Pill.

*** Note, Bryce plays a role in the story that’s why I had to talk on what happened to him before coming to the academy. He’s like an Antagonist to Kevin and will still be a greater antagonist to Kevin in the future. Please, all characters I mention in this story each have their own periods and roles. I may explain about his past, but it is a very crucial information you need to know. Thank you***

The two boys had walked a distance away from the others. They were now hidden deeper inside the bush.

Kevin stopped and Bryce also stopped walking. His brows creased and a deep line formed across his face. He had the intention of punching Kevin if he’s to show him something useless. Not only punching, he would make sure he regret ever playing tricks on him. He took a quick glance at Kevin from head to toe, he looks so skinny to be an elf having Magic. If he would guess, he’s someone who couldn’t control his magic. He doubt he was able to learn any magic cause he looks like a total trash compare to him.

“And what is the thing you found?” Bryce asked with a prideful spite.

Kevin sucked his lips as he breathed outward to calm himself. He would have sworn he saw the anger he has been holding in, steam out of his nostrils. He blinked twice before replying Bryce. He checked his system quest again and a grin formed on his mouth as he stared at the message.

‘ Now is the time to grab those quest rewards. Bryce, get ready to be defeated.’ Kevin grinned inwardly as he suddenly started walking towards Bryce.

Bryce got scared at once as he saw Kevin walking towards him. He started taking steps backwards as Kevin got closer to him at a fast rate.

.....

Hiding behind the thick bushes, Lexa’s eyes fluttered open in amazement as she saw Kevin advancing towards Bryce.

“Oh my god! Kevin is going towards the male elf. Is he going to kiss him or what. Are they going to strip themselves like they do in movies. No, no, I can’t watch.” Lexa cried to herself. She used the palm of her hands to cover her face but she still peeped through to see what was going on.

Kevin received the information as his eyes locked with Bryce’s. The system had show him every details about the opponent he’s about to face which is quite awesome. He would prepare himself for the worst once he discovers what his opponent is capable of. But he’s not sure if the system shows him this notification when he fights an opponent or maybe only if he looks directly into their eyes. Anyways, he would have other quests and would be required to fight other opponents, he would check out which one is the fact among the two theories.

Without warning, Kevin had gave Bryce a punch in the stomach which came as a shock to Bryce himself.

‘Yes!’ Kevin screamed inwardly as his face beamed with joy upon successfully taking five points away from Bryce at the very first attempt. ‘It seems like I’m strong enough to fight an elf at level two. This wouldn’t be a bother to me anymore.’ Kevin smiled happily.

“What just happened?” Lexa blinked repeatedly as she scrubbed her eyes to see if she wasn’t seeing illusions.

She really couldn’t believe her eyes, she had misinterpreted Kevin for being a gay but it turns out that he had other plans. He wasn’t a gay but wanted to take his revenge on the guy who took his credits, his only credits for the day. He didn’t spend the credits on changing his character in the VR game and someone had suddenly approached them and had took their credits away. Lexa could now understand what it means to be bullied. She promised that from now on, she would trust Kevin’s actions and judgement. At the very least, she won’t name him a gay next time. It was a good thing Kevin hadn’t heard her call him a gay.

“Shit, am I going to use my reckless actions to spoil another new relationship again. No, Kevin is mine and mine alone. I won’t give in to anything that will make me doubt him like I did to my other fifteen ex boyfriends. Hee hee.” She said, pouting her lips forward.

Bryce had his hands holding onto his stomach where he had being hit by Kevin. As he saw Kevin approaching him, he had a hint that he was planning to do something, but he didn’t imagine that he would be attacking sooner. He spat out blood as he recalled all the past martial arts he had learnt and the hand to hand teachings he had received from different black belt masters. Unfortunately he couldn’t anticipate Kevin’s attack even though he saw it coming. He couldn’t help but recall the past abuses and insults he received from his father who spent countless amount of money just for him to become a strong elf in the future. But he just didn’t know why he is so weak and undoubtedly useless. Like he’s the most useless son any elf parents ever had.

He clenched his fists as he recalled the most hated part of all when his one and only elf girlfriend called him a spoilt and useless brat and waste of money on the day she broke up with him. He grinned with anger as cleaned the blood stain of his mouth and suddenly dashed at Kevin.

After getting insulted by his girlfriend, he came to realize that he’s totally a worthless scum who deserves to be killed by hanging. So he decided to hang himself by a tree that was by the Riverside. But luckily for him someone stopped him before attempting to do so. He couldn’t see the face of the person because he had a mask on but the person handed a pill to him after he explained why he wanted to kill himself. As soon as the person gave him the pill, he had immediately walked away and Bryce hadn’t seen him ever since that day.

He wondered what work the pill did and as he consumed it, he couldn’t believe it could work miracles. And that was the reason why he’s here today.
