Chapter 21 - CHAPTER 21: BULLIES

Still on their back way from purchasing skill cards, was the four as they chatted along the way as they hadn't yet left the trading district of the academy as the place was huge.

In an Alley a girl with a brown long hair and light brown eyes is pinned to the wall as she slapped across the face by another girl and she stumbles to the floor as she held her cheek in pain and her glasses fell to the floor

"what happened smart ass, were is that boldness of yours now, you thought by standing up for that loser friend of yours, you thought you had accomplished a great feat but I will make sure you go through hell in my hands" Speaking to the girl with glasses who was on the floor was the girl who slapped her.

The girl had a long black hair which fell down all the way to her waist and she had grey eyes, on her face was a makeup which was rather much than what one would expect aand she applied a red lipstick and she was voluptuous.

Surrounding the girl on the floor were three boys and two girls as they all had an aura pf pride around them as they looked at the girl on the floor with disdain. And their dressing was extravagant although they were on uniform which indicated they were a group kids from wealthy homes

"Hey bitch cat got your tongue, can't talk like before huh" One of the boys grabbed the girl by her hair and the girl lets a groan of pain then he slapped her and grabbed her by the hair again.

"Please…. please…. stop" Tears welled up in the girl's eyes as she pleaded for them to stop their assault on her.

"Oh, she is begging now" the other girl chuckled, this girl had a short black hair which reached her shoulders and deep brown eyes.

"You are already begging for mercy when we haven't begun yet, I thought you were so bold, that day you had the audacity to speak down on me and now I will make you know pain.

Just to tell you the harsh reality of this world of abilitans is that without a strong backer behind you, you are nothing more than a tiny flea before us, because we will crush you to dust" talking as he walked up to the girl was one of the boys who had a short ebony hair which reached his shoulders and he had light blue eyes which had a cold gaze in them as he looked at the girl in pains.

His handsomeness was something else as it felt like the creator had taken his time to carve such a handsome face as his eyebrow were well and perfectly groomed.

"She doesn't know the real deal Eric" the girl with long black hair called his name as she spoke to him.

With a lighting fast kick, Eric kicked the girl in the abdomen and sent her slamming into a wall as she let out shriek of pain which echoed in the alley.

"So, you mean the world of Elytra is a vast place filled with wonders" Daniel had look of surprise on his face as he listened to Zack.

"Yeah am telling you" Zack and Daniel were in front of Alex and Levi who discussing too

"So, Alex have you locked on to any target recently" Levi asked Alex with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Man, walking up and talking with a beauty is like going to war" Alex sighed.

"Well that's for you not me" Levi grinned.

"it's because you are handsome that's what gives you the edge here. Because they will be happy to be approached by a handsome guy like you" Alex said to Levi.

"Is that so" Levi had a smug on his face as he looked at Alex and continued walking while Alex stopped and stared daggers at him as they just passed an alley and that was when Alex's ears picked up the shriek of a girl which came from the alley.

"Am I hearing things? I am sure I heard the shriek of someone come from that alley" Alex looked back as he felt weird about and decided to check it himself and Levi not noticing Alex wasn't with him anymore.

The girl lays on the dirty floor in pain as she clutched her abdomen in pain as she gritted her teeth in pain as tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at her assaulters with anger but she could nothing as they weren't people she could go against.

"whats with the look bitch! I will make sure that you are put in the place you are supposed to be, the place where you truly belong" The girl with a long black had disgust on her face as she looked at the girl on the floor in pains.

"why…. are…. you.…doing this to a follow girl like you" the girl mustered her strength to speak as she was in pains.

"As if I care, you should have not gotten involved in the first place and now you are going to suffer" The girl had a mischievous glint in her eyes as she brought out a scissors.

"what hair cut should I give her, Eric" The girl asked Eric and when the girl on the floor saw the scissors fear came upon her as she knew what was coming next.

"You can take everything off" Eric answered coldly

"Very well then, Lisa come and help me let's give this bitch a nice hair makeover" the girl called out to the other as they both had a sly smile on their faces as they approached the girl.

"this hair of yours looks pretty but you are about to lose it" the girl named Lisa grabbed the girl on glasses by the hair as the other brought her scissor to cut her hair.

The girl tried to break free but to no avail as resistance was futile and then a voice suddenly rings taking all of them by surprise.

"isn't this unfair, five against one how much of cowards you all are" Alex spoke out as the expression on his face was one with a cold emotion as his eyes settled on the girl on the floor as she was battered and Alex clenched his fist.

"And who the hell are you?" Lisa looked at Alex with disdain

"How dare you refer us as cowards" One of the boys roared angrily at Alex.

"looks like we have someone here trying to play hero saving the damsel in distress" Eric lets out a chuckle.

"I think I remembered that face, he is the one with two abilities while having a silver talent. I think that was during the assessment and I think his name is Alex bale" The girl with long black hair spoke

"Oh, that's eye opening, awakened two abilities even with your silver talent that's rare and your name has no last name, so that means you are just another low life standing up for another lowlife like yourself" Eric spoke with mockery.

"what the likes of you know how to do is to pry on the weak because they don't belong to influential families and you think because you were born with a silver spoon that you are better than everyone and that you can get away with anything you do" Alex was infuriated

"Low lives like you and this thing on the floor have no place in this world of abiltians, because without a capable family and a strong backer you all will be our stepping stone to greatness" Eric was filled with pride and Alex could only grit his teeth in anger as he heard this bastards words.

"You see the same thing you are doing right now by standing up for her, was also done by her and now she is suffering for it and so will the same happen to you if you dare interfere" Eric threatened.

"Low lives like you and her have no place in the society of abilitans" The girl with long black hair mocked as she played with the scissor in her hand and the girl on the floor looking at Alex as luck might have shone on her.

"then I will make you know that pain is real today" Alex took an attack stance

"Oh, you want a fight, you will regret it!!" Eric mocked Alex

"A silver talent going against a gold talent" one of the boys laughed

"One going against Five, how absurd" Eric looked at Alex with displeasure.

"What if we make that four against five" a voice comes from behind Alex. Taking a stand besides Alex was Zack, Daniel and Levi.

"How did you guys…."

"It wasn't that hard, as one of us we can't be and you go missing" Zack said to Alex as he had cut him off from completing his word and Alex was surprised as he saw his friends standing firm with him. Eric was in surprise as he saw the figures standing with Alex

Then Daniel's eyes caught sight of the one star on their uniform thus indicating they were freshers like them.

"Seems like we all freshmen" Daniel smiled

"though I don't recall any them been in the same class as us" Levi looked at the group of misfits before him and his eyes going to the girl on the floor.

"if isn't Daniel of the Adrian family and Levi of the Aster family how nice to meet you both here" Eric grinned.

"Eric Victor Ambrose!!" Levi and Daniel said in sync.

"you both can even recall a name how humble of you two, but I can't believe that you two from great influential and powerful families would stoop so low to defend this low life" Eric had a sly smile on his face as he looked at Alex.

"Enough Eric, because we were born into such great families doesn't mean we should look down on the lowly and ordinary people just because we had a privilege of been part of such families" Daniel shot back at Eric

"Spare me that crap, it was no privilege but it was fate for me to belong to the family that I belong to and as those at the top of the food chain we are always meant to be on top and above the low lives because they are meant to be our stool.

Even you know it as I know It, the harsh reality of this world of abilitans is that without people at your back you go nowhere even if your talent is gold because only strength and wealth is the true power in our would and low lives and weaklings are meant to our stepping stones and no matter what, they are mere specks of dusts in our hands which we could blow away anytime if we decide to because they are nothing and will always be!" Eric was adamant.

"Whatever you said is just like talking to the wind for no word made no purpose or meaning, no matter what different walks of life and backgrounds we come from, none is above the other for we are equal in the sight of God.

Just because you were lucky enough to be brought into a powerful and wealthy family that does not mean the you can look down people" Zack eyes carried a dead look as he looked straight at Eric who was taken aback by his words.

"And who the heck is this nobody" Eric snorted as he referred to Zack.

"he is…is the student with a diamond talent and an X-rank ability, he also hails from the Lyon family. His name is Zack Grey Lyon" Lisa suddenly blurted out and when Eric heard her, he was shocked.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha; who would have known l would meet someone form the prestigious Lyon family in such a situation, but never the less from all I could recall about the recent geniuses of the Lyon family I never heard this name of yours, but still it is a shame that three figures from such great families would stay by the side of a nobody like him" Eric pointed to Alex as he said.

"This guy here who you call a nobody is a friend of ours, so you got a problem with that!" Levi's gaze turned cold as he took an attack stance, Zack and Daniel doing the same also and the same also going for the other party.

Each and every one of them released their auras, as Zack, Levi and Daniel were ready to go against the other party while standing by Alex.

"let me see what spoilt brats like you from wealthy families are capable of doing" Zack spoke with disdain as he looked at them.

And when the other party heard this their faces twisted with anger as they activated their abilities ready to fight and the girl on the floor was completely ignored a relief to her.

Then a warning came from their bracelets at the moment.

they were warned and everyone on hearing this was surprised.

"I guess our clash isn't today, c'mon let's move people am already sick of staying around these low lives" Eric to his party and they began walking towards Zack and his friends

Zack and his Friends just gave them way to pass as the look on Zack's face and that of his buddies was fierce and the other party just snorting as they passed, Eric was about to pass Zack then he stopped and looked at Zack.

"Because you are From the Lyon family that's why am just letting this slip by but be wary" Eric said coldly To Zack

"Although this clash of ours was prevented today, that doesn't mean we won't clash someday and I bet you that when we do I will make sure he crawls on his belly to beg me for mercy" Eric referred to Alex who stared at him with a razor sharp look.

"Then let me see you try" Zack had a deadly grin on his face as he spoke and Eric was taken aback by his grin.

"tch, till next time" Eric clicked his tongue as he turned and walked away.

"Who is he?" Zack asked as he looked at the leaving figure.

"for your information his name is Eric Victor Ambrose, the second child and only son of his father and the heir to the Ambrose family legacy" Daniel told Zack.

"Looks like today, seeds of discord have been sown and we have made an enemy" Zack said as he watches Eric and his gang leave the place.

"What about the girl is she okay" Daniel asked as he looked over the girl on the floor who had already sat up and Levi already beside her with Alex.

"Yeah she is but we have to take the clinic for proper treatment" Levi replied.

"So whats your name beautiful" Levi asked with a smile on his face and when the girl heard him, she was taken aback.

(how say beautiful when am in such a state?) she was confused.

"My name is Mia" The girl replied.

"that's a really beautiful name" Levi smiled and the girl was flustered.

(What's wrong with him) she couldn't help but think.

"Already hitting on the girl., huh" Zack spoke as he and Daniel approached.

"Well I could not help it" Levi replied.

"So, what's your name" Daniel asked

"Her name is Mia" Levi answered before she could

"You guys stepped up for me, why" Mia suddenly asked.

"Well it was the right to do" Zack replied as he ran his hand through his hair.

"That's all for it, let's get you to the clinic asap" She was about to say something but Zack cuts her off.

Levi helped her to get up and supporting her to walk as they walked out of the alley and anger was seen in Alex's eyes as he remembered Eric words.

(That bastard I make sure he regrets everything he said today) Alex clenched his fists.

"Looks like trouble is going to keep coming from today onward" Zack sighed.

"I agree with you Zack and from my observation I think they should belong to Class A" Speaking was Daniel.

"that's it then, well we will make it known to them that even Trash can become a Talent" Zack grinned.
