Several minutes later, Ragna could be seen standing before a huge broken building, it was already past six in the evening at this time.
This was the factory Ragna and the trio were supposed to meet, it was once a popular place years ago. However, it had been destroyed in the heat of metahumans using their abilities.
It had taken Ragna ten minutes to get to the factory, even at full speed, since it was quite far away from the academy. Not only was it abandoned, but thick moss could be seen all over the walls of the building; it was quite humid inside, with cracks here and there.
Everything within the building was either breaking or rotting away due to how it had long been abandoned.
Small electric sparks were coming from the fences' broken light; it was a place anyone could easily get lost in trying to explore, and where anyone would find it difficult to find a lost person.
Ragna, spread his perception around before walking into the building. He wanted to make sure there were no traps, or anyone besides the trio coming.
While the trio had promised to come, he couldn't trust them completely that they wouldn't do something, or even worse, hire a strong awakener to fight him; he would only trust humans if pigs could turn into lolis.
Fortunately, after scanning the area for a while there was nothing out of place besides it being rundown.
After a few more seconds of scanning the environment, he began to walk deeper into the building, since the building was just one storey long, he needed to get to the rooftop, eventually, he got to the top and could see the silhouette of three students, on closer inspection they were in some special body suits.
These students were none, other than Hansen, Ned, and Galadima.
Hansen could be seen in their midst, although he had a cautious look; however, anyone could tell he was filled with confidence. He was currently wearing a body suit made by his father. Needless to say, there was nothing that could potentially hurt him.
'Looks like they came prepared, huh. Don't wanna leave any loose ends?'
Ragna could almost tell what they had in mind.
Just from the fact that they threw out an elixir as bait, he could instantly guess there was no way they were doing so, after, out of generosity, he understood they wanted to make him suffer for humiliating them publicly.
However, they weren't the ones who had thrown the bait, but him, the last time he had gotten a quest to absorb their abilities, so they were obviously marked by the system as part of his quest.
Eventually, they could see Ragna walking towards them, based on his expression and how he looked, they assumed he didn't know what was coming for him, and that today would be his very last day as an awakener, they were sure if he knew there was no way he would have bothered to come.
Nevertheless, since he was there, they would make sure he would not go back unscathed.
"I don't know if I should praise your bravery or call you stupid, but this place will be your end, Ragna!"
Hansen said with a crazed smile on his face, as he pointed at him. He had the look of someone who had already grasped victory in his hands.
"How about we get this over with, and stop thrashing talking? Except you're here for a rap battle anyway, which you're talented in."
Ragna rolled his eyes over at Hansen.
"You wouldn't be confident for long, anyway, so feel free to enjoy the little time you have left."
"Alright."
Ragna didn't wait for them to attack him before he did; he wasn't there to trash-talk anyway, nor was he going to give his enemies time to organize themselves. This wasn't some Power Rangers shit.
The trio, who were barely prepared, at first thought that he had disappeared, until they heard a loud cracking sound from their midst.
Ned and Galadima had their eyes and mouths wide open as they watched Ragna suddenly appear in their midst and send Hansen flying with a punch.
"Next."
Ragna said, and turned his head to the next person, Ned almost screamed his lungs out as if he had seen a ghost when Ragna stared at him the next moment.
Before he could gather his abilities, there was a loud blergh sound, as he felt a punch going directly into his stomach and disrupting the use of his meta abilities.
Ragna quickly grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the ground, uncaring whether he was conscious or alive. Ragna turned his focus to his next target, Galadima.
'Unlike before, it seemed I had grown even stronger than I had imagined, slamming a kid with an ability doesn't seem difficult at all.'
Ragna came to this conclusion, as he raised his hand with speed and swung it towards the overly stunned Galadima.
Galadima, who was too stunned to react, saw a blurry hand coming towards him, and before he could put up a defense, he felt his jaw had been punched so hard, his brain was only able to process him being hit moments later.
His jaw to be precise, had been punched to the left side of his face, completely dislocated.
"Guess that makes them three."
There were squirming voices of the trio on the ground, as Ragna stared at them, from the swollen face of Hansen, to Ned who was almost vomiting his guts outwardly, to the completely obliterated jaw of Galadima.
