Unveiled Strength

Renjiro was still lost in his thoughts when he got punched in the guts again, Phineas seemed not to be letting him off easy this time and continued to punch him over and over till renjiro's face was covered in blood.

"Next time you would think twice before you challenge me" Phineas said before turning around to leave

"I don't think we are done yet" Renjiro said

"Are you a masochist or do you have a death wish" one of the lackeys asked

[damage taken, hp – 60]

the sight of this put a frown on renjiro's face. "what would happen if my hp drops to zero" the thought of this spurred him to charge at Phineas, Phineas knowing that he was weak and couldn't cause any damage, in his arrogance stood and waited for the punch to land and renjiro punched him in the guts, his punch sent Phineas flying through the cafeteria which left the whole school in shock, Phineas temporary flight was brought to an end by a wall which he collided with.

He coughed out blood and seemed to be finding it very difficult to breathe, his lackeys seemed to regain their composure and rushed towards him, they carried him out of the cafeteria and headed towards the infirmary.

All eyes in the cafeteria followed Renjiro as he pulled lyra out of the cafeteria, lyra was still left in shock over what happened. She saw Renjiro punch phinny through the air, if she wasn't there to witness it, she would never have believed it.

"You are injured and bleeding, let us go to the infirmary so you can get yourself treated immediately" lyra said and pulled him towards the infirmary.

Renjiro didn't object and let her drag him to get medical attention, inside the infirmary a grey haired middle aged lady with a pair of spectacles and a while lab coat sat behind a table and greeted them with a warming smile as soon as they came in.

Renjiro heard groans of pain coming from one of the partitions, this place smelled sterile and like antiseptics just like the hospitals in his previous life.

"That was the boy you just sent here" the middle aged woman said shaking him out of his reverie, she stretched her hand and touched him on the bridge of his nose and he winced in pain.

"Asides from a little fracture on your nose and a few bruises here and there, you don't seem to have much of an issue, I'd give you a potion and you would be good as new, but your friend over there would need about a day or more to get back in shape, he has a few fractured ribs and some bruised organs" she said gesturing towards where Phineas was.

"Oh!" Renjiro muttered and nodded, at the moment he had no remorse for what he did since he felt that Phineas had it coming, he only felt a bit bad for beating on kids considering his actual age but he soon shook off his guilt.

"Are you alright?" lyra asked his searching his face with her eyes.

"Yes! It just hurts a little bit but it's nothing I can't handle" he said trying to reassure her.

The middle aged woman soon came back with a bottle that had a greyish liquid in it, she handed the bottle over to Renjiro.

"Take this and you are good to go"

Renjiro screwed open the bottle cork and a pleasant smell wafted into his nose, he didn't hesitate and turned all the contents of the bottle into his mouth immediately, he felt a chill go down his throat and he soon began to feel his injured body heal at a rate visible to the human eye, in about a minute his skin was as good as new leaving only the blood stain as an evidence that he got into a scuffle, he touched his nose and winced in pain, it still felt a bit sore, a ding sounded in his head soon enough.

["Healing potion was consumed"]

[hp – 95]

"Why didn't it get to 100, is it because my nose is not yet completely healed" he thought

"We are done here, lets head for combat class it's almost time for it" lyra said and pulled Renjiro out of the infirmary but not before thanking the middle aged woman for the potion

Professor Ophelia heard about what happened at the cafeteria and couldn't stop herself from pacing about in her office, she knew that Renjiro was hiding something from her and she was getting more and more determined to get to the root, it was unheard of for a low-level florist elite to have that amount of raw strength, he was obviously not as strong as the average vervos elite but having such physical strength in their kingdom would be an edge over other elites.

When she invited him to her office the first time, she just sought a plaything she could use to please herself whenever her perversions took hold of her but when she called him over this time, she did so to study him, she looked at his energy channels, to figure out if he had done anything to open or alter them, but they still looked closed.

Genius low level elites and other upper-level elites could cloak their energy channels so other elites couldn't discern their level, but his energy channels were not cloaked so she wondered how he was able to generate such strength.

She even suspected that he probably had something to do with the kingdom of vervos but all her theories were debunked one after the other since his energy channels didn't have the pathway of a vervos elite, in fact he had the same pathway all florist elites did.

Her deductions didn't seem to be leading her anywhere so she went back to her chair and sat down, picking up a book to read so she could take her mind off the whole issue.
