Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Punishment Box

Ash's mind was set in knocking the boy out for good. While mid- air his eyes locked with the boy on the floor, something materialized from within his fist. A weapon, shocking everyone who saw. Without notice or thought he threw it.

It was so fast that the boy didn't have a chance to blink as it zipped through the air trimming a side of the boys hair before stabbing into the wall behind him. The boy remained in place as his body forgot how to react, he sat there waiting for his brain to send signals to his body.

As the weapon that Ash threw pierced the wall a notice was sent to the system room informing them that something had damaged the wall. The workers opened the notice for further information and on a large screen a mapping of the interior was shown. They continued their investigation by switching to the cameras and to their disbelief the students were fighting.

They used the cameras to identify the faces of the students and as the cameras took less than a second to recognize them their information was pointed beside them. Finding the information they needed the workers then informed all the form teachers.

It didn't take long before the teachers arrived. Mr. Hexon was one of the first two who arrived. There he saw Ash fighting. For the students who saw the teachers stopped their frantics and stepped to the side giving way.

Once again Ash was about to punch a boy, but then he felt as his hand was caught from behind. Ash felt irritated thinking it was one of the boys who stood back up and this repeated tactic of theirs was very upsetting. He dragged his hand away, spinning on his heel while mustering all his power into his fist and stroke. But all his strength was stopped by a single had. Everyone in the room felt a strange energy pass them and then they too realize the presence of a teacher.

Ash was in disbelief as he looked up he saw his fist in someone's palm and carrying his eyes up more he met Hexon's overworked dead looking eyes. Ash retreated his hand straightening his posture.

Hexon was surprised by how powerful Ash's punch was and was sure if it was taken by a regular student he could have done bone shattering damage, worst cases death. Because of Hexon's dead expression no one could tell that he was surprised.

" I actually felt that," Hexon voice inwardly as his hand went back to his side.

All the teachers that were notified had arrived. The students were barked at getting chased to their classes and for the students who were fighting would be taken care of in a different manner.

Twelve students were lined up and sent to face severe punishment. The boys were lead were led to a large float cube like plain looking building that wasn't far from school grounds. A man named Mr. Pun led them in and had them stand in a circular form with distance away from one another. They all had their heads down feeling ashamed of themselves. Each student was given a large metal box that was measured around two meters on all sides in both length and width.

The students were told to hold the box above their head and under no circumstances should the box touch the floor if it did their punishment session would be extended or it would be placed on their records, or they would have to subtract points.

All student stood about ten meters apart and they were sweating as the room's temperature was turned up on them. Ash slowly lifted his head under pressure and to distract himself he decided not to focus on the weight he was lifting. He looked at the other students in the room and there he spotted a familiar face, a face he did not expect to see.

" Lynx?!" Ash called out surprised.

" Hmm," Lynx hummed in response making eye contact upon hearing his name.

Ash saw another familiar feature of someone he knew. A familiar white hair.

" Quil?!"

" Yes?"

" Why are you both here?". Ash was in his own thoughts earlier and hardly took notice of the extra commotion that was happening around him earlier.

" I hit someone and he passed out a long with a few others, I didn't mean to I think. I was taking down the things that was pinned around about you and someone tried to stop me. So I knocked them out," Lynx explained plainly.

"Same here," Quil agreed.

" Also some guys wanted to fight you so I hit them too," Lynx added.

" Same," Quil agreed again.

Ash didn't know what to say so he only remained quiet. In the background Ash heard a voice of someone who sounded as if they were enjoying the weight lifting. Ash looked in the direction. The boy felt someone's gaze on him and looked to where it came from.

" Oh hey Asher," the boy greeted happily trying to balance his weight on one hand.

" Zen?". Why were there so many students from his class wondered Ash. " How are you here?"

Zen took a second scanning through his brain and then answered.

" I don't remember," Zen responded unbothered and focused his attention on balancing his punishment box.

" Oh," Ash managed to say watching Zen having fun while facing punishment.

On the left someone heard Ash and the others conversation and was irritated by their chatter.

" Ridiculous,". This voice was familiar and everyone followed the voice.

"Class president?" Ash said his voice low.

" Wait Navy, I didn't expect to see you here," Zen said trying to balance on one foot now.

" Do not speak to me. I am not your accomplice. How preposterous, I shouldn't even be here. You guys are disgracing our class. Four students from 1R is too much, even one is a lot," Tyxin ranted getting miserable with each passing second.

" Well you know you're here too, so that makes five of us," Quil corrected with his plain sounding voice.

" While you may be telling the truth, I refuse to acknowledge it," Tyxin denied trying to convince himself that he was innocent.

" By the way Nava how did you get here?"

" It was some idiots fault. I was trying to get rid of the disgraceful information they had pinned around and someone tried to stop me. I was explaining that the action was downgrading and they shouldn't slander others,".

" I didn't even finish explaining and he swung at me, Me!. I dodged it, but he was being relentless so I punched him and he passed out. Which I didn't mean to do of course," Tyxin explained. " After this I'll have to write three essays for this indecent behavior of mine. One for my father, my teacher and one to complete this punishment," Tyxin added.

There was another familiar person among the bunch, but he held his head low trying to hide while keeping quiet. He felt utter shame just being there and if they saw him it would definitely smear his image.

A man walked in from a room seeing the boys doing their best to hold up the weights, but it didn't look as if they were struggling. But there was one who seemed like he was enjoying his time. The man looked at his tablet device seeing the names of the students.

Zen Rayden - Weight – 3,000 kg

Lynx Ro- Weight -3,000 kg

Quil Spikin- Weight – 3,000 kg

Ash Redbyon - Weight – 3,000 kg

Paull Clint- Weight – 3,000 kg

Yan Fint- Weight – 3,000 kg

Tyxin Navis- Weight – 3,000 kg

Quill Nortann- Weight – 3,000 kg

Mylle Mill- Weight – 3,000 kg

Lira Audio- Weight – 3,000 kg

Lu Fletcher- Weight – 3,000 kg

Oran Aley- Weight – 3,000 kg

The man didn't want to let them off easy, he wanted to drill the consequence of fighting into them so they would not dare to break the rules again. He selected Zen's name then tapped a few times on his device adding extra weight of 5,000 kg.

Zen felt the weight suddenly crushing his arm so he immediately balance his punishment box with both hands bending his knees for greater support.

" Fuc-,"

Mr. Pun switched his gaze looking at the other students looking for those who weren't fighting to hold their weights up. He spotted three of the boys who looked struggle free as they stood upright freely in a straight pose. He looked on his device identifying them as Quil, Lynx and Tyxin. Mr. Pun tapped a few times again and added 5,000kg extra to Tyxin's weight.

Tyxin's knees immediately buckled under him as he felt something pushing him down. He knew more weights were added.

" The injustice," Tyxin voiced out loud to himself.

The white hair boy called Quil looked a bit frail so the man the tested him with 1,000kg of weights first. Seeing as Quil didn't show any sign of reaction the man added 5,000kg of weight and when Quil's knees bent under him the man smiled feeling satisfied.

" Why?" Quil said on the inside as his punishment box got heavier.

The man looked at another frail looking boy, more so than the white hair one. The man thought if he added too much weights at once he'd might end up killing this student.
