5 Assault

Drake walked back to line up with the group after he finished his exam. The entire group was laughing at him due to how he barely made it to E rank. The only person that was not laughing was Jessica. She was the only person in the group that understood how impressive his results actually were.

A normal car Collison would give a 850 on the power test. This means that the slash that the abilityless Drake performed with no magic equipment and two rusty daggers was able to match the strength of a car collision. But what impressed her more is how he was able to suddenly disappear during the speed and reflex test. She respected and acknowledged Drake's progress as a poor abilityless boy. That is why she chose not to laugh at him.

As Drake lined up, Scott said:

"I have a confession to make. This exam was only a formality and wasn't really even necessary. I will give you a watch right now that you must have on you at all times. This watch can analyze your entire body and assess your power level through the new deep military analysis technology. It will also analyze your magic beast equipment and add that to your power levels. However, you need to understand that power levels aren't everything, they don't take into account a person's ability type, fighting techniques, or fighting experience so it isn't that uncommon for lower power levels to win against higher power levels. This watch will also be used as a tracking device in order to monitor your locations. Don't worry, the tracking device will only activate when the watch senses that you are critically injured or when you are out of your dorms past curfew."

This made the students really annoyed because they felt like they took the test for nothing. However, they didn't show it on their face in order to not annoy the examiner. After Scott finished handing out all the watches, Drake put his watch on and noticed that the number displayed was almost exactly the same as the power level he got on the exam.

1002, which was exactly what he got on the exam, so the watch seemed fairly accurate.

"Alright that will be all for today , classes start tomorrow. Curfew is at 12 am so all students must be in their dorms at that time. Your dorm number will be displayed on your watch in a few moments. You will be sharing your room with 2 other first year's so don't be surprised if there is someone already in the room when you get in. Today, you can go explore the city, or you can go check out your dorms right away."

After a few seconds, Drake noticed that his watch displayed a different number than it did before,

SECTOR 1B

RM 111.

That must be the room number of Drake's new dorm.

Before going to his new room, Drake decided to go explore the city to buy some snacks and to get accustomed to his new environment.

Then Suddenly he heard a voice calling him from behind.

"Hey Drake, wanna go explore the city with me? I can show you around since I know the city very well, " a boy said with a smile on his face.

"Naa, don't worry I'll go myself! " Drake said while feeling a bit annoyed,

"But I'm from this city and there are lots of places I can show you and I won't bore you"Ken said,

Then Drake reluctantly decided to go but said" I'll take you up on your offer but you're gonna buy me snacks", Then Ken finally got Drake to agree to follow him.

'Well, that was harder than I expected. This guy must really not like socialising much ,'Ken thought.

"What's your name again" Said Drake.

" My name is Ken, I'm surprised you don't remember," Ken said, "Sorry you weren't worth remembering so I forgot your name" Drake said and that statement made Ken really angry but decided to save his emotions for later.

"Well I think I might try my best to remember a few names next time" said Drake in a bored tone.

"Do you mind if I bring a few friends along? They will meet up with us on the way," Ken said as his smile became even bigger.

"Well of course I won't mind if they don't annoy me," Drake said.

"Ok then let's go!" said Ken while walking towards the school gate.

They both left school and started to explore the city. It was much bigger than Drake's old city. The buildings were at least 4 to 5 times the size and the streets were a lot more crowded. As they were both exploring the city, Drake couldn't help but notice that Ken was constantly on his phone. This made Drake a little but suspicious so he was staring at Ken.

Ken saw Drake and smiled.

"I am just texting my friends to set up a meeting spot."

"They should hurry up I wanna check out places!" Drake said in a normal tone.

"Soon, very soon…" Ken said with an even bigger smile.

After walking for a few more minutes. Ken went into a large construction site. Drake had his doubts but still followed him thinking it was just a shortcut to their destination.

But little did he know, that was their destination.

The construction site was filled with sand large machines and sand every where. The place got darker because the sun was going down.

As soon as he entered the construction site, he sensed a high concentration of bloodlust. Then an attack came from his right side. The attack came at a very fast speed but Drake was barely able to dodge with phantom step since he only noticed it at point blank.

However, it left Drake almost out of breath. This was because Drake was already tired from performing the Phantom step and devil claw during the exam which only took place few minutes prior. This didn't give Drake enough time to recover his stamina.

Suddenly another attack came from Drake's other side and he was knocked down.

Before his vision went dark he saw Ken standing there laughing at him. He couldn't understand anything that was going on, then he closed his eyes and collapsed on the ground.

Suddenly Drake woke up. He was tied up on some long concrete poles. His mouth was covered with tape so he couldn't speak. He reeked of a disgusting smell that smelled like piss. He started to rustle around in an attempt to break loose but he was unsuccessful.

"Boss he's awake" a voice came from the darkness.

Suddenly he heard a lot of footsteps headed in his direction.

Suddenly one person pulled out his phone and turned on his flashlight which illuminated around him. He saw a bunch of random people he doesn't recognize. Then he noticed 2 familiar faces in the crowd. They were Derick and Ken.

Drake tried to speak but he couldn't because his mouth was covered. Derick came to the front of the group and stared at Drake.

'Sorry, we wanted to wake you up but we didn't have water so we decided to just piss instead," Derick said while laughing.

"Oh sorry I forgot that you can't speak," Nathan said as he motioned to one of his goons to remove the tape around his mouth.

Drake started to heavily pant trying to get air.

"I said release me you dick head" Drake said

"I won't until you pay me a thousand dollars for the drink or you give me your precious ring , I could have easily taken it and your clothes while you were unconscious. But that would be too easy of a punishment. I want to break your mind and soul to make you give it to me with your free will."

"Aren't I a nice person?" Derick said with a sinister evil smile.

As soon as Drake heard this he felt an immense rage erupt from inside him. His face truly became like that of an enraged devil.

"Didn't I tell you mongrel that I won't be paying you anything and that I wont give you my crystal ring. If I survive this, I will kill every last one of you," Drake screamed with intense rage.

"How dare a poor abilityless bitch like you go against my will. At first, I thought you might be somewhat strong because of how you talked back to me when we first met. So I took precautionary measures by sending Ken to spy. I will show you what happens when you go against my wishes, I will torture you so hard until you wish you were dead. That ring and your equipment will be mine and you will hand it over to me with your own hands," Derick said while pulling a small knife out of his pocket.

"Heh, tough talk for a fella with a small cock, I may or may not have taken a small peek when you were pissing on me and that shit was tiny" Drake said as he started laughing like a mad man.

Derick's head went red with anger, you can almost make out steam leaving from his face.

"Beat him up," Derick screamed in anger.

All 5 members of his gang started brutally assaulting him. Drake tried to hold it in but the pain was so much that he screamed at a few of the hits. During the onslaught, he managed to spot the power levels of Derick's gang by looking at their glowing watches.

930, 970, 1710, 1520, 1850, and 2510 which was Derick's power level. He felt so powerless at this moment. They had 2 F ranks, 3 E ranks, and 1 D rank. Drake new that if he could free himself he would have had a fighting chance. Although Drake has endured being beaten like this hundreds of times in the past, he never felt so powerless. This was due to one key difference. Unlike all the other times, He was tied up and defenceless. Drake usually had a calm and collected personality. But when it comes to his survival he would lash out.

After 10 minutes of constant beatings, they suddenly stopped to take a break and assess the situation. Drake had 4 broken ribs and lots of bruises all over his body. But even still, he refused to yield.

Derick sat down in front of the beat-up Drake. Grabbed one of his fingers and snapped it. Drake tried to hold in the pain but could not so he screamed.

Drake smiled and said.

"It looks like I might have to take a different approach."

Derick broke all of Drake's fingers. But he still wouldn't give up

"seems like you still won't yield huh bitch, don't worry ill help make you yield."

He pulled out a knife and stabbed Drake thigh. Drake let out a sharp scream even louder than ever before. He had never felt so much pain and anger like this apart from the day his grandad died and just that thought fueled his rage.

When Drake' s thigh was stabbed, he thought that it would be the end of the torture. However, he was completely mistaken. Derick motioned to one of his lackeys to come. Suddenly, a bright green light shined on Drake's thigh and it was completely healed. At first, Drake didn't understand what this meant. However, the answer slowly became more obvious to him.

"Are you ready for round 2?" Said Derick while smiling maniacally.

Derick then proceeded to stab Drake's thigh and rip out his flesh. Then, he signalled the healer to reheal his thigh. This process happened over and, and over, and over, and over again.

Drake thought that he would eventually get used to the pain. But, he was sorely mistaken. The pain felt the same every time. Even still, Drake had no thoughts of giving up. During the whole thing, Drake would always take a look at the streets, some times a random person would look inside the construction site and see all the torture that he is going through. But every time they would disappoint him by leave without saying a word. This made Drake so angry at every living human. How can another human witness such atrocities and not even say a single word?

After Derick repeated the torture cycle for at least 11 times, they all received the same message from their watches.

"It is now 11:30 pm, all students outside their dorms are advised to head there right now. If you are not in your dorm by 12:00 there will be severe punishments"

"Fuck! Why aren't you giving up that ring of yours! What's so important about it that you would endure all this torture?" Derick shouted as he punched Drake's face.

◇Pant◇Pant◇ ◇Pant◇

"You would never understand. This ring is a possession my grandad told them to give me after he died, it is the only thing I have left to remember my dead grandfather by. I doubt this ring would sell for much anyway" Drake said while panting and out of breath.

Derick's face became redder than ever before. It was like his face was about to explode any second now.

"AAAAAARGGGH!!!! I JUST WASTED MY TIME TRYING TO GET THIS FUCKING CHEAP MEMENTO" Derick screamed with immense rage.

He quickly moved over and ripped Derick's ring from his broken finger and threw it on the ground.

"FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID BITCH WAS RING. I REALLY WASTED MY TIME ON THIS STUPID PIECE OF CRAP! I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR WASTING MY TIME, I WILL DESTROY YOUR MOST PRECIOUS POSSESSION RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES!" Derick screamed as he lifted his leg in the air ready to step on it.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE YOU BASTARD," Drake roared with rage as he used all his remaining energy to jumped out in order to intercept Derick and rip him to shreds.

But before he could, someone whacked him in the back of the head with an iron rod. He felt his vision start to go black. He tried his best to stay conscious and crawl to where his ring was but suddenly,

*Crack*

Derick leg came down straight on the ring breaking it right in front of Moby's eyes.

"Why does this world have to be so cruel, Why do these useless insignifcant mongrels called humans exist ?" Moby said, as his consciousness started to slip away even further.

Before his vision went completely black he saw a message appear right in front of him.

"Task Completed: Experience a moment of intense rage to fully unlock Devil Monarch system"

"Devil Monarch System fully Activating"

And then he can heared a smooth and soothing female voice say:

"Greetings Drake Ryu, I am your fully unlocked Devil Monarch System, and I will help you accomplish all your goals no matter what."

Those were the Last words Drake heard before his vision went completely black.
