Chapter 50 Petty Revenge

Inside the certain dormitory room, standing beside the sleeping Kevin Springer was Russell Moon, and his first companion in regards to 'Chaos', Amelie Rose who successfully made a contract with the unknown Constellation with the Cosmic Title of 'Lady of Shaded Spade'; thus Amelie gained immense change.

Russell Moon didn't have a problem with sneaking to the dormitory with the 'Mask of Night', but he didn't use it to sneak into this man's place rather they came to an agreement; Russell, and Amelie to use one of her new skill: Spade Warp!

But according to the description of Spade Warp (Unholy), she needed to see first the location of the 'target end destination' which referred to Kevin's dorm room; thus she and Russell took a stroll around first near the Gaia Building like a stalker, but they maintained a certain distance, and with Russell Moon's improved eyesight especially at night, he pointed out the location of Kevin's dormitory room, prompting Amelie to look at it resulting for meeting the condition to travel inside with Spade Warp.

​ Luckily, Kevin Springer's dormitory room windows were not facing the outside of the Academy, but the other way around, or else they would resort to other means to intrude.

…

Russell Moon didn't have a plan for something like 'petty revenge', but during the 'Mock Battle', if Kevin Springer didn't attempt to hit her younger sister in her unconscious state, he would just let it go as what happened prior to that was formal, and based on the rules set even with the biased referee.

Although the 'Kick Blink' effect of the High Pugilist Skill: Battle Locking (D) has an 'automatic' kick upon activation, it could be stopped with good control.

'You better be glad that you managed to control that…'

Russell almost face-palmed with some cliché characters he was familiar with as an author of his unpublished novel, and as a reader of webnovels in his previous life. But remembering the future characters as well as variables that didn't originally exist, his mind was almost adrift.

<Shall we proceed?>

Russell spoke via telepathy, asking Amelie for their 'petty revenge' to be put into place.

Before coming here, they already thought of the plan they are going to implement.

<Yes, he should be good as a subject of the experiment.>

Instinctive wicked smiles formed on their expressions as Russell almost laugh out loud as he recalled the plan.

Then he felt slightly alarmed with Amelie saying such a thing with a straight face and wicked smile.

'Maybe I got used to her cheerful attitude…' Russell silently thought inwardly.

<Okay, let's start… sleep well.>

~ Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

An acupuncture procedure sounded inside the absolute concealed dorm room.

Russell Moon just used the skill he got from the Dice of Chaos, and with the blessing of the mysterious Egg, Void Acupuncture!

Void Acupuncture (Passive)

The acupuncture points serve an important role in a player's body as these points called meridians are synonymous with the cycle of one's life.

Rank: EX

Cost: 0 Chaos Mana

Effects:

- Automatically learns the accurate locations of one's acupuncture points or meridians and their corresponding significance.

- You can choose to directly press the meridians of one's soul, or just the physical body.

- Attacking one's soul using this skill will result in the target being on comatose for two weeks as the soul can recover on its own as long as it's not corrupted.

- You can infuse 'Chaos Aura' in your fingers as you use this skill.

Russell Moon recalled the information about the Skill: Void Acupuncture. He didn't infuse chaos in his fingers because that would result in Kevin's corruption, turning into an abomination.

He glanced at Amelie, and nodded at her, cueing her to do her part.

…

[Activating the Skill: Shade Transformation]

This was her first time using the Unique Skill she acquired by signing a contract with the 'Lady of Shaded Spade.

Suddenly, her body turned incorporeal which exudes an ethereal and serene dark blue aura as she started to float in the air.

Her reddish eyes turned deep black, as well as her pinkish hair, then she felt weightlessness as she moved in the air, wriggling around slightly.

Russell's mouth was agape with the sight as this was his first time seeing something like 'ghost', 'wraith' or shade, whatever that was classified as.

…

Amelie Rose looked at Russell, then the two nodded with each other.

With that tacit signal, Amelie headed inside Kevin Springer's body.

She used the 'Possession' effect of her Unique Skill!

After the both of them silently determined that Kevin's Tenacity and Willpower stats were not that high with the use of 'Status Appraisal' skill, thus meeting the condition for possession.

<Done, let's go.>

It was Amelie in Kevin's body who woke up, then walked to the summoned portal.

Russell just nodded at her as they moved into the spade-shaped portal.

<Ah, wait!>

Amelie in Kevin's body stopped in her tracks and looked behind her when she saw Russell grab some things first.

Then she almost broke out in laughter with the sight reflected in her now deep black eyes.

…

[Your Trait: Nihility has concealed the surroundings!]

[Your Trait: Nihility has concealed the surroundings!]

They arrived at 'some place', then Russell spoke through Telepathy after tidying up some things on the ground.

<Alright, done! It's your turn.>

After Amelie heard Russell's voice, she did her part and then left Kevin Springer's body as she appeared beside Russell with her Shade form.

[Deactivating the Skill: Shade Transformation]

After the skill deactivation, her pinkish hair and reddish eyes that turned deep black regained their original color.

<You can turn behind now, haha!>

Russell said, informing Amelie of the last step of the 'petty revenge'.

Understanding what he meant, Amelie turned around as she looked at the bluish moon in the night sky that illuminates the surroundings which exudes a serene atmosphere.

<It's done… let's go.>

Russell spoke, turning around as he was prompted to look, too at the beautiful, bluish moon in the night sky as it gave him a vibe as if the world was at peace.

[Activating Skill: Spade Warp]

Russell Moon and Amelie Rose Merveil vanished from their spot.

…

Sunday, early in the morning, at the Obelisk Tracking Field

Groups of students came to the Obelisk Tracking Field to do some morning exercises.

They were composed of first years, second years, and third years.

It was their routine to exercise and train during weekends as they were aiming to be a part of a famous guild of their choice, or at least prospective guilds that were not so far behind when compared to the 'famous guilds.'

"Hey, who is that?"

A student in his first year, running with his companion spoke.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

His companion asked, wondering, and then his glance followed his companion's as he saw a man lying in the middle of the wide Obelisk Tracking Field…

"Is he sleeping?"

"It seems so…" Spoke the student who noticed it first.

After looking for a second and two, causing to be momentarily dazed at the sight...

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! What the hell man!? He brought pillows and a blanket!"

Laughter between the two students reverberated throughout the Obelisk Tracking Field, prompting other students who don't have any idea what was funny to look at them with a myriad of emotions, but mostly confusion.

Then one of the students who is near the two students who laughed out loud asked,

"Hey, you two, what's funny?"

The laughing students, who held their abdomens as they stopped running because of the hilarious situation, looked behind and said,

"Look over there!" Spoke by the one who discovered the oddity in the middle of the Obelisk Tracking Field as he pointed his fingers at the location of the sleeping man.

"What? Pffftttt!" Realizing what he saw, the student who asked the duo blurted out as it was followed by a restrained laugh.

Other students who took notice of what they were talking about looked in the direction of their gazes as they began to discover the source of the sudden bursts of laughter.

The third-year students also notice as one of them asked,

"Hey, isn't that Kevin?"

…

Third-year students who were familiar with Kevin surrounded him as he was lying on the ground with a pillow that cushioned his head, and a blanket covering his whole body.

"Hey! Wake up!"

A brown-haired man with brown eyes, at least 172 cm sat in front of Kevin Springer, it was the one who presided over the 'Mock Battle' yesterday named Ryan Cullen!

"Hey! Wake up, you m*therf*cker!"

'What the hell is wrong with this bastard, inconveniencing other people!'

Ryan Cullen thought as his patience was about to hit rock bottom.

"You f*cker!"

After some time of waking Kevin up who was clearly alive and breathing, Ryan's patience hit its end as he removed the blanket covering Kevin, and then…

"Gasp!"

"AGHHHH!"

Various reactions of disgust were painted among the girls both familiar and unfamiliar with Kevin.

The boys also had different reactions, but mostly laughter or contemplation about comparison…

"THIS DISGUSTING F*CKERRRRRR!!!!"

Ryan Cullen's anger resounded as he looked at Kevin's naked body.

"WAKE THE F*CK UP!"

~ BANG!

Ryan kicked him as the veins on his forehead bulged as if a cloud of smoke was coming out of his head.

'I can't believe this bastard is the same as me, wanting to join Sir Arthur's faction! I'd be doom with him!'

After that kick, Kevin slowly opened his eyes, dazed for a second or two, then he looked around as he asked inwardly.

'What kind of dream is this?'

"Kevin!"

With a shout, he was jolted awake in his trance-like state as his eyes opened wide with the realization of what was happening.

When he tried to move reflexively, he couldn't move his legs and arms.

Then, when he tried to say something, no voice came out of his mouth.

'Wh-what's this!?'

…

Some distance away from the commotion in the Obelisk Tracking Field, Russell Moon, Amelie Rose Merveil, Amery Blight, and Freya Moon who recovered late in the evening were watching what was transpiring, having different thoughts aside from the two who orchestrated the 'petty revenge.'

<That's the first step.>
