Chapter 96: John's Anger (1)

No one realised how fast the time had passed as lights filled the skies, but the World Tournament was only a month away. Everyone was working hard, and the academy had improved more than it had in years. Even the worst students were giving it their all. Because they knew how strong people who were not important to anyone before were now. And they had personally witnessed that it was all hard work.

At that moment two young people were walking together. Both of them were from the 1st class 1st district and they were not very strong. Their strength was only in the centre of the blue lightning.

"I heard that Boyd reached the green lightning by half a step. He really is a monster." said the 1st Boy.

"And it's not just him. Summer, Quentin, Kevin, Jack and Milah are also half a step, they are really monsters. It's amazing how fast they can get stronger." said Boy 2.

"Yeah! Yeah! Yes! That big guy and the guy next to him are also very talented. Hmmm, what's their names? Ha! I recognise them! Kronos and Fury. They're also very talented. Kronos made it to the top 16 in the District 1 Tournament. And he's very strong now. I heard Kronos and Jack dueled the other day. It was a draw, but Jack won by a small margin. It's hard to say what would have happened if they had used all their powers. "said Boy 1, and as Boy 2 was about to speak, he corrected him and looked at a nearby house. He nodded to the house with the creepy aura.

"And then... There's this kid. He definitely doesn't care about anyone. But he's strong, that's for sure. Look, he lives over there. His sadistic aura is reflected in the house. "said the second boy while pointing to the house with his hand. The house was no different from the other houses, but only one lamp was lit in the house. There was only one person in the house.

Only one person lived in this gloomy house. He had reached a very high ranking in the District 1 Tournament and had given up in the quarter-finals. No one knew why he did this, but everyone thought he had mental problems. Because John was dangerous. He always overpowered his opponents with wild and chilling moves. He left a mark on their mental health. He lived alone because no one wanted to stay with him. He didn't want anyone to stay with him either.

Inside the house, John was sitting on the sofa watching television. John's developmental base was high enough to hear them. He clenched his fists but did nothing. Because they were right. John was alone.

John stood up and started walking towards his room. His steps sounded drunk, but he wasn't drunk. He was just tired. And he had no reason not to walk in peace.

John's house was like any other house. So the kitchen and living room were combined.

As John walked through the kitchen, he stopped to drink a glass of water. Just as he was about to send his hand to get a glass, his eyes fell on that picture again. While the pain in his heart hit his brain again, the pain spread all over his body. Even though it was just a heartache, John had never suffered so much.

There were 6 people in the picture. They were all 8-9 year old boys. John was among them and he was using his sincere smile that no one had ever seen.

John looked at the picture for a long time. The anger in his heart began to be reflected in his aura. Tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes. Even though tears were flowing from his eyes, his eyes also looked so terrifying that one would not believe that the owner of those eyes was 14 years old. These eyes were covered with the ultimate form of rage. Revenge!

"I'm sorry... I couldn't save you."

Because of John's aura, the wooden furniture in the kitchen of the house began to crack. The feeling of killing had appeared. It was completely independent of his power and was strengthened according to the killing desire in John's heart.

There was something no one knew about John. John had come here just like Kai and the others. The hunters had attacked his group too. But they simply couldn't get through. because they were up against a powerful hunter. John or anyone else in that group didn't have the ability to seal the growth bases around them that Kai had, and they didn't have a developer like Jace with them. They were completely alone. They had started to run away... Best.... take you back to that time.

8 months ago

"Hurry up, John! It's coming!" said Cia. John quickly ran towards Cia and started running away from the hunter with the others.

The hunter was in red lightning. So it was unlikely that they could escape, but they didn't realise that. So they ran as fast as they could. They still had hope because they did not know the limits of this man's power.

John was going to the academy with the help of the service like everyone else, but suddenly they were surprised by the blow they received and they saw a lot of people dying. These 6 friends managed to escape by holding on to each other, but the hunter in the red lightning was still following them.

John and his other 5 friends were somewhere between the mountains. They didn't know anything about where they were running, but they had to stay alive to survive. They had to run.

A long time passed. They ran for hours, their faces and clothes were completely dirty, but they still kept running. Their feet ached, their muscles rebelled. But they refused to listen to their bodies. Because they knew that somewhere out there that hunter was coming for them.

"I think I've had enough of stalling. It's time for me to send you off to the other world."

6 people turned back with the voice they heard. Each of their eyes opened with fear. As they took a few steps back in fear, they all seemed to have given up. If the man in front of them could approach them so fast, no matter how much they ran, it would be useless. it would be useless.

"It's just ac-" As Cia tried to speak, John grabbed her hand and started to run. The others didn't understand at first. Then they started running too. At least they wanted to die while running. Maybe they could help one of them escape. It was not important for them to die for their friends whom they were as close as brothers.

But they wanted to survive if possible.

The hunter in the red lightning was surprised. He thought that they were not aware of the situation and he started to move slowly after them. The more time he spent here, the less he encountered his annoying commander.

"John! What are you doing? We can't run," Cia said. John continued to run, ignoring Cia's tears. He was still alive, right? He could keep going. As long as there was hope, he would not stop moving.

This was the form that the will John had at that time had turned into.

Hope...

As the others continued to run with him, they finally had to stop in front of a waterfall that flowed into the endless depths. The view was marvellous, but they could not enjoy it. There was neither the strength nor the space to escape.

At that moment, a cold and thick voice reached their ears.

"It seems you have nowhere to go now. I will kill you too and this struggle will be over. I have lingered too long," the Hunter said. John took Cia's hand and looked at her face as a pistol appeared in his hand. Just then the first shot rang out and John's first childhood friend fell. One by one, his friends with whom he played games and talked about his troubles fell. In a few seconds, only John and Cia were left.

"I'm sorry, Cia. For bringing you here. For not being able to do without you. I brought you with me for my own selfish reasons and now you will die because of me. I'm sorry, I can't let that happen. You jump, there's a chance you'll survive. I apologise. I'm sorry for loving you. "John said. If anyone at the academy had
