Yelp

A loud yelp of a dying gray wolf echoed throughout the area.

"With that, I level up to 7!" Alex.

"I and this to fools were both level 5! HAHAHAHA!" Nate.

"Who would think that there's a lot of exiled wolf roaming in this part! You have great network information!" Alex talked to one of the Imperial Knights.

"Well, we always go in this part, if we're not in the mood to level up. I accidentally discovered this place when I was idling by! All the wolves you could see here were all exiled wolves, so you would not be going to get tired of finding one. How about the pay?" Imperial Knight Hobard.

"That's true. HAHAHAHA! You could rest assured that you would get your pay. You can trust me as I was the future savior of your world!" Alex.

"Anyway, how's the feeling of our porter? Have you leveled up? Opssss... It's inconsiderate of mine. I forgot that you are not leveling up! HAHAHAHAHA!" Alex.

Reh just closed his eyes while Alex was trash-talking him. He's accustomed to this kind of setup as long as it's not below the belt.

"Oh yeah... I remember I once saw your mother in one of the hotels the parents of my friend own. She's also a hotel porter. But I would say your mother is quite a beauty herself... I was wondering if she's accepting a commission--."

Alex was cut off when Reh rushed over, and in trembling hands, because of anger, Reh grabbed Alex by the collar.

"Don't you fucking involved and say my mother in your useless mouth, you piece of shit." Reh.

Alex was shocked by what happened, but it didn't take long because Alex found it amusing.

"Woah... Looked at you... You're now resisting huh? Is it because Dion said he got your back? I wouldn't be going to trust that knight in shining armor because he said so. He's like his father.

And I think it's now time to put your hands away in my collar." After Alex said it, the two Imperial knights immediately pinned Reh down.

Alex crouches down near Reh's head. "I would say this, even if all of our classmates stand behind your back, you can't do anything. Why? Because you are weak. You can see it in your Class. A Class of slaves. HAHAHAHAHA! It's your turn now, boys!"

After Alex stands up, Nate and the other two come near Reh.

"Hahahahaha! It's perfect! My system was not calming down. I hope this will calm me down!" Nate.

After that, three began beating Reh. Punch, kick, and slap are all received by Reh. Does Reh regret what he did? Nope. He made it clear that they could do anything to him, and he could endure it, but there's no fucking way he would stand still when his mother gets involved.

Burrrp!

"HAHAHAHAHA! Mine was loud!" Nate.

The group was just finished eating lunch. And now they were resting in the shade under a tree.

The group ate all the delicious food while Reh had a hard bread.

Rustle Rustle

But the group stopped what they were doing when they heard something in the bushes in front of them.

"Haaaa... These stupid wolfs can't wait? As if they were intentionally coming on us to make us level up faster. Tsk. Tsk." Harvey, one of Alex's lackeys said, then he began to stand up.

"Heyyy!! You can come out now! I'm here!!" He shouted while wiggling his sword in his left hand.

But a few minutes had passed, and no wolf was jumping out.

"Pffff... Did that monster get scared? HAHAHA AH! Fuck! That means I have gotten strong--." Harvey.

Harvey couldn't continue what he was going to say when suddenly something hit him and caused him to bounce back and lands at their far-right unconscious.

The group was stunned because of what happened. Even if they didn't see anyone or something around them that would cause Harvey to fly back.

"HAHAHAHAHA! What the heck, man? What are you doing?" Nate shouted.

After a minute, there's no reply.

"H-hey... H-Harvey... W-what the fuck are you doing, man?" Nate.

"Hey! You piece of shit! Answer us! When I found out that you were franking us, I swear... I'm not going to let you go easily!" Alex.

But despite their call, Harvey didn't reply or move a muscle.

"Fuck!" Alex mumbled under his breath.

"Hey! Checked him out!" Alex said at Imperial Knight Hobard.

"E-eh? Why me?" He replied.

"Why? Who else gonna check him up?!" Alex.

"W-why don't you command him? He's a Commoner Class, so nothing would be changed even if he was killed!" Imperial Knight Hobard said while pointing his finger at Reh.

Reh was currently on their left side. His face was full of a bruise from the beating he received.

"Fuck it! Hey you bastard, check him up!" Alex blurted out, then he grabbed Reh by the collar and threw him in the front.

"You better hurry up. If you don't, I will beat the shit out of you!" Alex.

There's a chance that Harvey was faking it and another that didn't. Reh doesn't care about both of them as he was sure that if he doesn't follow Alex, he will experience something unimaginable.

'What the hell happened with Harvey? Surely he's not faking it, doesn't he?' Reh internally thought as he walked slowly towards Harvey and looked at his surrounding.

Whole minutes had passed before he finally reached where Harvey was lying.

"H-hey... Are you alright? Did your stomach hurt?" Reh.

Again, Harvey didn't reply or move a muscle.

Reh moved Harvey's body and further checked Harvey.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

But the moment Reh moved Harvey, he heard a loud sound of something was drop. Then he looked back only to see Alex's group and the two Imperial Knights lying unconscious.

"W-wha--."

Growl Growl

Reh stopped when he heard another sound again on his back. But this time, it's a different sound. A sound of an animal.

He slowly turns his head back only to see Harvey standing, but at the same time, it's not Harvey.

It has reddish eyes, large and sharp two fangs, sharped nails, and a drooling mouth.

"H-hey H-harvey..." Reh said while slowly stepping back.

ROARRRRRRRRR

"Arghh!!!!"

It roared, causing Reh to stop in his tracks and cover his ears. It took a whole ten seconds before the roar stopped.

"Ugh, my ears..." Reh said, still covering his ears and recovering from the loud sound.

Growl Growl

As if by magic, Reh immediately covered when he heard another growl from Harvey. Then Reh once again looks back at Harvey.

'Fuck! He's readying to attack!' Reh thought as he started to run away from Harvey. And as soon as he started to run, Harvey chased after him.

"HEYYY!!! WAKE UP!!!!" He loudly shouts at Alex's group, but there's no response as they remain unchanged.

"FUCK! WHY DID ALEX THINK OF GOING TO SLEEP AT TIMES LIKE THIS?! HEYYYYY!!! WAKE UP!!!"

Reh makes a quick turn opposite the direction of Alex's group, luring Harvey to chase him. Yeah... He could just run away and leave Alex, his bully, but he wasn't raised by his mother to be that kind of individual.

"Always help people in need. Even if they do something bad against you. Revenge wasn't always the answer."

That was what Reh's mother always told him.

Crack Swoosh

Harvey leaps through the air with his mouth wide open. Attempting to bite Reh. But unfortunately, Reh heard the loud cracking sound he made and assumed that he was up on something, so Reh also jumped as hard as he could to avoid Harvey. Reh was not bitten, but he got another wound.

Harvey didn't succeed in biting Reh, but before Harvey landed, his sharp nails reached Reh's calf, and it was deeply wounded.

The wound causes Reh to stumbled and falls to the ground.

Growl Growl

Harvey immediately covered from the fall and stood up quickly. He saw Reh, that was currently standing up slowly while enduring the pain from his leg.

ROARRRRRRRR

Harvey once again roared, causing Reh to stop and cover his ears. After Harvey stops, he instantly jumps to reach Reh, but this time, Harvey successfully succeeds.

Harvey is on top of Reh. He opens his mouth wide, showing his sharp two fangs. Then he strongly pushes his mouth down to bite Reh.

But Reh recovered at the roar Harvey made and defended himself not to get bitten. Reh's arm was in Harvey's forehead while the other was in the neck. Preventing Harvey to bite him.

The two battle with strength. But it is clear that Reh was inferior in terms of strength.

Reh gritted his teeth as he endured the pain from his leg at the same preventing Harvey from biting him. But all had their limit. When Reh felt that he was about to lose, he shifted his head to the left side while pushing Harvey's head to the opposite side.

When Reh was sure that everything was in line, he released his hands on Harvey's head, making his mouth bite the ground.

That didn't last long as Harvey quickly lifted his head to bite Reh again. But this time, Harvey was using both hands to hold Reh's head to avoid dodging his bite.

Reh's face was getting wounded because of Harvey's sharp nails that were brushing on his face.

Having no means of doing the same thing he does, Reh gives up on resisting and lets Harvey bite him, but then, a thought suddenly pops up in Reh's mind. He remembers that he still has the small sharp knife placed in his right side pocket.

Reh immediately reached into his pocket to get the knife because he saw that Harvey was getting ready to bite him again.

When Reh finally reached the knife, it was the same time when Harvey was lowering his mouth to bite Reh.

Reh knows it. He knows that Harvey was attacking him, intending to kill him. So, with the knife in his right hand and using his remaining strength, he powerfully slit his neck of Harvey to save himself.

Spurt Spurt

The blood of Harvey was gushed out from his neck and covered Reh's face and upper body.

Cough Cough

Harvey holds his neck, trying to stop the blood that was gushing out, but he fails to do so.

Thud

That's the only thing Harvey makes before his lifeless body falls over Reh.

Pant Pant Pant

Reh chases his breath after his body of Harvey falls over. It took a couple of minutes before he finally slightly recovered, and using his recovered strength, he pushed his body of Harvey to the side and attempted to stand up, but before even he could stand up, he heard a voice. A voice that he knows aside from Plume.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD DID YOU DO?!"

Reh slowly turned his head towards the location of the voice. Then, he saw Dion and the other member of the student council and the Imperial Knights Captain, Birger. Then Reh looked next at the lifeless body of Harvey.

"W-wait...! I-I didn't--." But before Reh even continued, Birger angrily shouted.

"APPREHEND HIM!!!"

Aside from Birger and the other two Imperial Knights, who were currently unconscious, there was no Imperial Knights present. That's why Serth was the one who obeyed the command.

"SHUT UP, YOU MURDERER!" Serth angrily said as he pinned Reh down.

"B-believe me!! I-I was only defending--."

"I SAID SHUT UP!!!" Serth then strongly further pressed Reh down.

"Ugh!"

Even though everyone was making a fuss, Reh heard a footstep. He forced himself to look who was the owner of the footsteps only to see Dion.

Dion was walking towards the bloody and lifeless body of Harvey, then he looked at Reh.

"D-Dion... B-believe m-me... I-I..." Reh forced himself to talk, but before he even finished, Dion cut him off.

"Shut up, murderer... No need to defend yourself as we saw everything you did... Better prepare yourself as I swear that I would bring justice to the one you killed!" Dion.

Bogsh

Dion punched Reh in the face hard, causing Reh to lose consciousness.

But before he lost consciousness, he saw he looked at Dion. A kind of looked as if he was looking at some kind of trash.
