Chapter 43: To keep this a system, He got a Skill

Running out of his hiding space was annoying, he would have found the toilet, slept in it, and carried on with his day, he could have carried on with his day to day life, he could have gone on and went to college, but the devil persuaded him.

'Why did they stop bullying me? What are these windows popping up for me? Why am I...'

He shook his head, as he ran, Silvy saw him at the corner of her eye, he did not want to do this, but he was still running, he wanted to find himself. So he quickly turned and this is what he saw.

It was the usual hallway, this time the lockers on his right and a few doors stationed on the left, closest to him and in front of him was an angered Billy, he was stomping off towards the culprit.

Further down the hall way, entrance to the teachers lounge and office and the reception, were three people: Cindy, Jim and Ray. Jim was to busy staring at Billy, petrified off what's about to come. He was pulling on the uniform of Ray, and Cindy was behind Ray, however not scared, she was actually being stopped by him. You could work out with deductive reasoning why. Ray was the centre mark. He wanted to stop this, avoiding the eye contact with Billy. He knew his anger was something you should not uphold, so he kept on looking at Jim, pinning the blame easily with his eyes.

Kumas saw it, he knew why they were in this situation, he felt weird. Him, the type to not say anything to him getting bullied and assaulted, was running directly at the bully. It was like a cross moment of the bullied and the bullies. However, there was only one place he was afflicting the rage to, and that was dear old Jim.

When he saw Billy, he turned to see another figure, he knew he was running and terrified of the demon coming for him, he much preferred to look at the other person. He guessed it was Silvy and he would hop she would stop him, however, he was small. It was a guy and when he finally came to the realisation that it was Kumas, it was too late.

Billy was astonished to see Kumas just running down, h passed him on his right side, going at incredible rate, he was puzzled at why he was here, but that was not his first thought.

'Was he always this fast?'

He never knew Kumas to be an athlete, so he calmed a bit, when he saw him, trailing the person until he did it.

Cindy and Ray both fixated on the enemy, Cindy was about to do a full on rampage on Jim, not noticing Billy. Ray was starting to sweat from the pressure of seeing the demonic person, that when Kumas arrived it was a surprise.

Kumas ran up to Jim, close to the locker, he was running fast, but did not know what to do, at that moment, only one though came to mind, the one thing he kept on practicing on him: a jump kick. It played in his head as he was running, remembering the painful memory of him getting kicked and battered by Jim and only Jim from his own selfish gain. He did it for pride and when ever he did it, it would stick into Kumas hard.

It was like he was doing it in slow motion and when he did it, the people watching were shocked. He jumped, got into position and kicked, pushing all his small weight against the guy. Ray and Cindy saw him do it in front of them, not seeing the run up. Jim's nose and eyes were pressed down by the sole of his torn shoes and he was launched back until he hit a wall.

Kumas then landed on his two legs, as if he had trained for his entire life. Cindy and Ray looked speechless, Billy stopped walking and Silvy was walking up to get a better look. Nobody moved except for Jim who got up and he said, "really, you sure practised hard, hey help me!"

He called for the others," can't you see what the loser has done, we should beat him up."

Kumas looked at him, Cindy and Ray wanted to move but Kumas took it. A notification appeared, but instinctually, he brushed it off, it disappeared immediately. He walked slowly towards the guy, his head tilted downwards, Jim was freaked out by this, but he just remembered the times he got beaten up, the four metre distance closed down to a one metre, when Kumas finally tilted his eyes. Everybody except from one was shocked what he was doing.

Jim cried out before he got punched on the cheek, he was startled by this, even though he had put up a stance, he was hit. He was still standing, it was a weak hit so he looked at him and stared into his lifeless eyes. It was life deafening.

He could not comprehend it, he buckled down, shrinking and he was the same height as him, he got smacked again, but it hurt more. It was one hit with the fist, then a second hit with the fist, but at a fast evolutionary rate, he pushed him down and he kneed him in the face. He tilted the both of them at a wall, Jim was against it at the small ledge separating the reception entrance and the teachers area.

All four saw the face of Jim and he was kept on getting hit by it and bashed by his knee or foot, he did not retaliate one bit. Kumas' eyes shone, even though not at them, but they saw it: the intent. He kept on doing it, nobody stopped him. They did not want mess with him, they looked scared at what unfolded and at a point, the blood was on the wall, him being unconscious.

Kumas abruptly stopped though it was quick but the intent was gone in a flash. All of them took a breath, it was a nice and relaxing one. Kumas looked at the notification. It said he had gained a skill, it was not specific, so he guessed he would have to check himself, and then he looked at the next one.

[Level up]

[Level is now level 2]

Kumas jumped in the air, finally seeing an accomplishment. "LETSS GOOOOO!!!"

He screamed startling the others.
