Chapter 20 : Snapped

"Brat, just stops. Just stay in the meditation room. We are almost done here". Steve spoke.

Asfa doubted that the meeting would end soon, so he went to the meditation room to contain himself there. He was mad. He endured so much pain to save people's lives without discriminating against them just to be treated like sh*t.

He meditated for a few minutes, but then there was a message sent by the college administration on his phone, and it looked formal.

"Mr Hunt, you are being dismissed until further notice. There were complaints about your misconduct of being too close with female students and being abusive towards other instructors...."

Asfa stopped reading because most of them were just nonsense information. He wasn't being dismissed, it was just that they wanted him to voluntarily resign.

He would have snapped but realised it was an opportunity to leave this place for the best.

He laid down with his eyes closed until he heard someone enter the room. Steve slowly walked to him while being followed by Aldrich.

"You okay, kid? I just read the news about you being dismissed. I know you did nothing wrong." Steve said while looking at Asfa, lying down on the floor.

Asfa opens his eyes and slowly stands up. He sighed.

"I definitely not okay with this, but then it is what it is. Thanks for asking anyway. I guess we won't be meeting any time sooner. I will send ya the location of the serums later on as a parting gift."

Aldrich wanted to say something, but Steve stopped him.

"You know what, I got no reason to stop you. But I want you to know ever since we met, my mind-reading ability didn't really work on you. I tried, but it failed miserably." Aldrich then interfered.

"Are you serious, brother? Why would you try so hard to convince me just now that he is innocent?"

Asfa kneels for a moment, then stands up, "Your highness, Steve got nothing to do with this. I took advantage of his kindness and got caught. Since I have been dismissed, I should not be here anymore. I shall take my leave."

He moved away from the spot toward the room entrance, but Shield and Ian blocked him.

"See, commoner. I said it before, you don't deserve to be here. If only your parents were less problematic, you won't be here." Ian said.

Asfa snapped immediately, and anyone within a kilometre would feel pressurized and terrified by his mana. Anyone without mana would collapse, and the scene of people panicking could be seen outside the laboratory. Thankfully, it lasted for a few seconds.

He lifts his hands and uses [Push] on Shield with his right hand while with the other hand, he uses [Pull] on Ian to grab his neck.

To no surprise, 'Shield' pulled his custom shield on time to block the force released by Asfa, but he flew quickly and crashed into the wall. The wall hit by him cracked, and a hole with a human-shaped person could be seen on it. 'Shield' stood for a moment holding his shield, but then his mouth gushed some blood and fell to the ground.

Ian tried to use his ability to stop Asfa from grabbing his neck, but then it was futile. The moment Asfa grabbed Ian's neck with his left hand, the sensation of absorbing mana kicks in. He accidentally stole Ian's mana entirely.

"Commoner this, commoner that. Now, I dare you to repeat what you just said about my parents." Asfa said that to Ian while grabbing his neck.

Inevitably Ian lost his consciousness and fell to the floor after Asfa released him.

"YOU COMMONER DARE TO HURT MY PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME!" Aldrich rushed to Asfa, and the whole laboratory trembled.

[Earth Destroyer]

Asfa knew he had to get serious now, or else he would be destroyed by Aldrich. Every step taken by Aldrich would leave a print on the floor, and the place vibrated non-stop. He decided to put an invisible barrier to stop being close to Aldrich.

The moment Asfa saw Aldrich put his mana into his arm to punch the barrier, he poured more mana to reinforce the barrier. Subconsciously he made a barrier to the others who were still there, especially on fallen Ian next to him.

The whole room got destroyed, and the walls inside the laboratory were gone too. Broken equipment and amenities could be seen scattered on the ground. Most of the floor inside cracked, and smoke debris covered the whole place except those areas covered by Asfa's barriers.

Meanwhile, the college administration decided to gather everyone there while investigate the root of the problem. The sounds of the alarm could be heard within the college area and the scene of people running toward the gathering

The sounds of the alarm ringing could be heard within the college area, and the scene of people running toward the gathering spot could be seen everywhere. Every instructor starts taking attendance to ensure everyone has gathered there. Fallen people who got hurt by Asfa and Aldrich's fight were treated by a medical team there.

Ethan had to take attendance for Class F since Asfa's dismissal. His expression changed straight away as he realised that Olivia and Carmen weren't there. Carmen was the only commoner from his class, and she was the one guided by Asfa during the fitness test.

Lucas just took the attendance for his class. But leaves the place immediately when he realised Asfa and Carmen are not there.

"Both of you brats should brawl somewhere else! Aldrich, this is the last thing I expect you to do as the king of this country. And you, Asfa! You were better than this. To be snapped over a petty provocation!?" Steve was mad at them.

Funnily, both Asfa and Aldrich started pointing fingers at each other while claiming none of them started the fight.

"SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU. HOW IMMATURE YOU GUYS CAN BE!" Steve shouted loudly in a serious tone.

Suddenly, Asfa's phone starts ringing loudly, and it is a call from Olivia. He always reminds her to not call him unless it is an emergency. He accepted the call.

"Are you okay over there, Olivia?"

The moment Asfa mentioned her name, Aldrich looked at him madly. He wanted to know why would his daughter be on the phone with this guy!

Asfa ignored the mad gaze from Aldrich and continued listening to Olivia call. The longer the phone call gets, the angrier Asfa becomes.

"Continue running, do not engage that maniac. I will be there as soon as I can. Stay safe!"

"Lucas was looking for me as soon as he realised that I wasn't there at the gathering spot. When he comes to my office, the commoner student I guided earlier during the test is waiting for me there. He then assaulted her and got hurt so badly. Fortunately, Olivia arrives to stop him, but Lucas goes out of control by assaulting her now. Old man, can you control him from here with your ability?"

They look at Steve for a moment until he says, "I am sorry. I tried to control him, but his mind was corrupted by something unknown. But I managed to stop him from doing anything for a few minutes. You guys should go to the place behind the library since they are there right now."

Asfa and Aldrich ran as fast as they could toward the location mentioned. They only have a few minutes before Lucas starts hurting Olivia and Carmen.
