The days progressed and it was now the second Monday since any events had happened after having a new student.
All the students were heading to their classes as murmurs filled hallway. Lynx and Ash had just enter the halls seeing everyone in a bundle and more so than usual. They all were staring at them and whispering as they pass. Ash was already used to the ill gaze and ill-mannered words people would give and say, but this time it felt different; it was as if everyone was staring and he was the center of attention. Lynx hardly noticed anything.
Ash tightened his fist and as usual he did his best ignoring everyone as he walked through the corridors. He kept walking only his destination in mind and finally his ears caught some words forming a sentence.
" It's disgusting knowing I attend the same school with him," a voice scorned from the crowd.
" It's very sickening that they allowed people like him in the academy," A voice said scoffing in disgust. As Ash was passing him the boy then added more words. " The son of a prostitute,"
Ash heard, his eyes flashed with fury even though his face didn't really show it. He swiftly turned around grabbing the boy by his chest and pushed him into the wall. The students separated from them giving space, as Ash faced the boy he had a sly look on his face. Ash remembered something and pushed his temper to the side. He didn't do anything but instead he released the boy and was ready to walk away. He slowly moved away as everyone started speaking louder now. His actions had made things worse.
" It's true anyways,"
" Disgusting," someone added spitting out the word.
" They should expel him, it's no big deal, it's just a low useless trash,"
The school couldn't merely expel students because of their class as all classes were accepted. A very long time ago only people from middle and high classes were accepted into the academy, but once two brave people from the Low Class showed great power helping to defend Gengora and their sacrifice led to victory. It wasn't really recorded as not much people knew this information, but because of their courageous act people from the Low Class was granted acceptance in the Academy.
When it came to possessing great power Class was something that could be overlooked.
" Maybe I should change schools, I can't stand this,"
" Yuke,"
" Do he even know who his dad is," a boy commented chuckling.
Ash ignored every word that was being spat at him as he walked pass.
" Poor man, he was played,"
" Maybe he was her most customer," Ash clenched his teeth and fist.
" His father's probably a useless trash to society. These low class things are disgusting, better off dead I would say," a boy said stating his opinion aloud as he laughed with his friends.
Ash instantly stopped in this moments and Lynx stopped behind him. He clenched his fist even tighter his nails digging in his palms. He was trying to suppress his anger, but they had pull the final straw. Ash turned around his eyes dark and low as he spoke through his teeth. His veins visible like roots were seen on his fist and his temples.
" What did you say?" Ask asked his voice low and sounding dangerous, he could feel his heart quickening.
The boy took ownership of the words walking forward and answered.
" So what? It's true anyways. You're mom's a slut," the boy stated confidently.
Ash stood there trying to swallow his anger but it stopped at his throat and no matter how hard he tried to swallow it was coming back up his throat. Ash's anger was evident and the boy noticed no matter how he insulted Ash he wouldn't punch him. They were impressed and liked that Ash knew his place in society. The students laughed seeing what was happening and added words of their own.
" You're disgusting and your father's shit," the boy mocked getting closer to Ash.
Ash heard his words and refused to swallow this type of anger. Ash swung a punch at the boys who reacted fast enough catching his fist.
" Haha…. Not because you're in the first class it means you're stronger. Who do you think you are, you Gen 5 garbage?" the boy said snickering.
" I am Ash Redbyon jackass," Ash stated coldly for the boy's ear
Ash then dragged his hand back as the boy was still holding it and then kicked him landing his hit. Ash created a small space between then and strike for another hit in. The boy didn't have much space to move or time to think, he thought he should block the hit so he made a X over his chest. When Ash's fist made contact with his arms the boy was hit to the end of the passage being stopped with a loud bang.
The boy was shocked he didn't expect such a power blow. He started standing to his feet, but Ash was already above him ready for his second assault. The boy managed to evade a second hit by dodging as Ash's foot landed on the wall. The other students watch the scene unfold before them as they wondered what should their next move be.
Ash swung his clenched fist again and once again the boy managed not to get hit. Ash's fist made contact with the wall denting it on impact. The boy shudder and didn't know how he managed to evade such powerful fast swings. Taking advantage of the boy's distraction Ash grabbed him roughly at his chest and punched him in the face hard.
All the students had given them space and didn't intervene as they were wondering if they should call a teacher or not. Ash was ready to punch the boy again when someone held his arm. He turned around seeing another boy still holding his arm. The boy met Ash's dark red veiny eyes and instantly released him stumbling back. Ash changed targets remembering the boy saying some things in the crowd few minutes ago. Ash kicked him sending him in the opposite direction. The boy slid across the floor and as his back hit the wall he instantly passed out.
" Has he gone mad," someone shouted in a stutter .
" We should get a teacher,"
A girl walked up to Ash and spoke.
" That's taking it too far you moron," she fumed loudly. But little did she know approaching Ash in the state he was and saying such things was a mistake.
" You said something about changing schools earlier, how about I help you," Ash stated his voice harshly low. Ash then grabbed her ponytail and she was stunned as she didn't expect him to harm a girl. Before further actions could be taken someone shouted stopping Ash from doing anything else.
" Are you seriously going to hit a girl?"
Ash didn't care if it was a male or female or even a child, a fight was a fight and no one was allowed to disrespect his father.
" Gender equality," Ash answered.
It was clear that Ash was indeed planning to hit her and luckily someone pulled her away and Ash's fist breezed pass her face and she couldn't believe the force he was using.
The boy Ash was fighting from before got up and swung his hand at him, but Ash reacted fast enough blocking the blow with his elbow. The punch was powerful enough causing Ash to slid across the floor. The boy would not accept an insult by someone who was worth less than him, by someone who should be licking at his feet.
" Finally some distance," the boy smiled wiping his face.
" You're going to pay for that,"
The boy stretch his arms cracking his neck and knuckles as he word a smile plastered on his face. " Defeating you might give me some fame. You may be in the first class but you're still a Gen 5 garbage. A scum just... like…you're …..father," the boys said pulling his words and pointing them where they would sting.
" You dumb shit," Ash cursed still angered. The other boy facing Ash could see that his father was his trigger point. " You don't learn do you,"
" I can but I hate trash passing their place," the boy responded with a smile as he got ready in a fighting position.
Both boys started in a hand to hand combat. It wasn't too long when the boys was stuck on the defensive as with each of Ash's punches the one after was faster. Seeing the boy was about to get defeated his friends stepped in extending the battle to a four on one. Because it was four of them it was harder now, each time he wanted to hit one another would grab his hand from behind. He cursed under his breath getting furious as he clenched his teeth and fist tighter.
Ash could see a pattern in their movements so he created a fluke and when one of them took the bait he managed to connect a power swing with his fist at one of the boys who had some good fighting skills. Ash jumped up off the floor to finish the boy off. If he could knock him out that would only leave three of them to deal with. He was mid- air and he could feel his heart rate increasing and a strange feeling surging through his body, he thought he was probably getting tired.
While mid- air his eyes locked with the boy on the floor as something formed from within his fist and without notice or thought he threw it.
