Chapter 131 Ready To Devour Deathscythe!

"Grand Elder Hisui. Preserve the scene. Get statements from everyone involved, and get the Dragon Faction's Grand Elders to meet me in my office." Bruce Pang said emotionlessly to the emergency response team which consisted of a Grand Elder, two Elders and five teachers.

"The Dragon Faction was in a s***load of trouble." Everyone there had no trouble peering into the future and determining the fate of the Dragon Faction.

"Yes, Principal." The Grand Elder Hisui bowed in acknowledgement.

"Make sure this retard stays alive to pay for his… idiocy." Bruce Pang added. Of course he knew that Elder Urama was no idiot.

No teacher was so stupid to use a Grade B weapon on a first grader.

But whatever his motivation was behind his action, his fate was completely sealed.

Angry Bruce Pang is someone you should avoid at all costs. ALL costs. Even if you had to rip your arm off to make a clean escape.

"Go back to your rooms after giving your statements." Bruce Pang said to the four of us gently. "I will give you and your families an explanation for this incident."

"Yes, Principal Pang." We said quietly.

We gave our statements and quickly went into our room with our loot- ah, I mean, our tribute intact.

We settled down on our beds, and I laid down with a deep sigh.

I wasn't quite ready to let Elder Urama go just yet, I still needed the emotional release of watching him suffer!

But I knew from the start that even if I managed to flip the tables around on him, it would be a long road, so I reluctantly let the issue go. Temporarily.

After all, he had fainted, and Bruce Pang was already involved.

He couldn't run away even if the President himself were to intervene.

Plus, it had been an extremely long day for me, and one that was actually quite an emotional roller coaster.

The gains I had made in terms of red energy was extremely abundant, and I actually couldn't wait to check my harvest!

However, my bunkmates still needed explanations.

"What the hell was that?" Roland Hu was the first to open his mouth. Understandably, he was shaken, and he needed a reason for the great pain he had to experience earlier.

"Yes. What were you two planning?" Jack Yang asked curiously. Unlike Roland, Jack was much calmer, and he was only curious about our plans.

I glanced at Barrick Rui who had a thin smile on his face, and indicated that he do the explaining.

"Ehm. Well, basically. Elder Urama was making a mistake by punishing us, and I wanted us to eat those punishments first, before turning the table on him. You see, even though the "assault" accusation he placed on us was actually true, it was definitely something which the academy didn't want to process.

Because if we were processed for "assault", then-"

"Then the entire first grade must be processed for assaulting each other! It would be a horrible mess!" Roland Hu's eyes immediately widened in realization.

"Yes." Barrick Rui said grimly. "I was planning to get my family to demand justice by forcing that damn Elder Urama to uphold justice and punish every single student who fought today. Elder Urama would definitely get on the wrong side of the academy, AND the powerful families."

"That is a good plan." Jack Yang nodded in approval.

"WAS a good plan. With his ill advised-"

"You mean dumbass." I interrupted him with a laugh.

"I apologize. Yes, with his dumbass act of using that vile Tremor Cane on Justin, he had very literally shot himself in the foot. Arm, in his case, and more than just a gunshot." Barrick Rui chuckled evilly.

"Hmph. Good riddance. I hope his arm never grows back." Roland Hu spat vehemently.

"Grow… back?" I thought to myself and glanced down at my own prosthetic arm.

"I doubt anybody would bother growing it back for him. He's a liability to any faction now. And if my guesses are right, Elder Urama would soon be an ex-staff of the academy, and very probably the newest addition to the National Prison." Barrick Rui continued.

He turned to look at me seriously.

"Justin, you're extremely lucky that Tremor Cane malfunctioned when it did. If not, you might just become the first student to die on your first day." Barrick Rui said.

I merely chuckled and didn't say anything.

They didn't see the mecha armor which materialized on my arms. They were probably still numb with shock over what was happening then.

As resoundingly impressive as their names are right now, they were, afterall, ten year old kids then.

It was natural that they missed the biggest clue I had revealed to the world about Devour.

Bruce Pang probably also cleaned up the CCTVs that day, because nothing came out of the reveal of my mecha armor in that incident.

"Yes. You're beyond lucky." Roland Hu added. "But it is extremely strange, though. Using a Tremor Cane on a first year student is basically attempted murder! Why did he do that?"

"I have no idea." I replied honestly. "He probably had an inflated view of my physical strength. I did thrash the Longs up pretty badly in my entrance exam after all."

"That you certainly did!" Jack Yang said enthusiastically. "I was actually quite close to your location when you took them on in that starting valley! Damn, you were so cool back then!"

"Cool? He's more than cool! He's like a real life superhero!" Roland Hu cried out with even more enthusiasm. "I have never seen or even heard of the Longs being so embarrassed in my entire life! My dad had always warned me to stay away from them at all costs. They are not worth the effort to get close to, he always said. But damn, you really took them down a notch that day!"

"Down a notch? More like smashed them into the mud and dragged them around for a couple of miles!" Jack Yang hooted with gleeful laughter.

I chuckled at their joyful recollections of the pleasant memories I made for them in the past few days and allowed my attention to wander into my body.

As soon as I did that, I was instantly shocked beyond measure.

My entire body was filled to the BRIM with red energy! And most importantly… I was done assimilating everything I had absorbed!

The white mecha cores, the blues I absorbed in the cleansing of the country, everything!

"Holy smokes." I remember thinking. "I am ready to devour Deathscythe!!"
