6 Confrontation
"Why is he carrying an umbrella in this weather", "It's so weird but isn't he kind of handsome."
Eser has been hearing the same thing from all sorts of people while he was walking to school.
[Master]
"Huh?"
[When I suggested that you walk with an umbrella I didn't expect you to take it seriously]
"I figured it would be better than wearing 3 layers of winter clothes, the defense and resistance may have increased but the sun still reduces my HP by a lot and it's too unbearable."
[Do you not feel strange walking and getting so much attention?]
"I have walked down this street hundreds of times, sometimes beat up so bad that I left a train of blood behind, and sometimes half naked because those people thought it was fun, all the while being ignored by others."
"...."
"Why should I care if they see me know, I don't intend to forget anything, whether it's the ones who tormented me or the others who watched me get tormented."
Eser thought back to all the humiliation he suffered at the hands of others, becoming uncontrollable angry in the process. His upper canines grew an additional 1 centimeter and a thick black foggy aura started to seep out of his body and the ground beneath him.
[Master]
"Huh, what is it?"
Eser had instantly returned to his senses, he figured he was getting so much attention because of his new look. The evolution caused him to grow an additional 7 inches or 17 cm on his then average height, and although he always had a fairly attractive face, it seemed more defined and noticeable compared to before.
[So, how do you like the new look?]
[Is it to your taste, Master?]
He was only 170 cm or 5 foot 7 inches before with a baby face, short black hair and thin figure, now standing at 187 cm or 6 foot 2 inches with a slightly bulkier look compared to before and a more defined face, he was noticeably different.
"It's a nice feeling, but the only important thing right now is that I beat those bastards to a pulp."
It was still early, he continued walking up to the school while holding the umbrella in his right hand. He was different but not so different that others couldn't tell who he was, he could hear several students muttering about his new look.
"The sun isn't hitting me, but it's still hot as hell."
[Master, someone is approaching]
'Oh is that you, E?' A very cocky sounding voice. This voice belonged to Zak, one of the many bullies who tormented Eser daily.
'I almost couldn't recognize you, you must have had a growth spurt, anyways I hope you enjoyed your long weekend. I hope you saved well, cause it's time to pay your daily protection fee.'
Eser stood there and looked at him without saying a word.
'You're not scared are you? we've been through this so many times E, you normally just pay and walk away, no need to be so afraid now.' said Zak with a smug look on his face.
Eser continued to stare at Zak without even a slight change of facial expression. Zak was a big guy, even with Eser's new body he was still noticeably smaller compared to him.
'Quit staring at me like that and say something you creepy bastard.'
Zak threw his fist with all his might out of anger.
"Hmph" Eser couldn't help but snicker.
Eser didn't step back or lose his cool, he did a simple pivot with his left foot to avoid the punch.
'What the hell!'
In Zak eyes it looked as if Eser had teleported. Even though he only did a slight turn to avoid his strike.
'How did you that you bastard?!' Zak screamed as he tried to retract his fist.
'Huh, when did he hold on to me?'
Eser had grabbed Zak by his wrist the moment he dodged.
'Let go!' Zak screamed, getting the attention of other students around him. "How is this bastard so strong."
Eser, still holding the umbrella with his right hand, with a cold look on his face, didn't move even a centimeter while Zak tried with all his might to escape.
"To think, I use to get beaten by these hands. Eser said as he gave a faint smile.
'Krk'
'MY AAAAARM!!!'
Eser slowly squeezed his hand with a devilish look on his face, as if he was enjoying hearing Zak scream.
Zak decided to throw a punch with his left.
*"It's as if he's moving in in slow motion." Eser thought.
Eser released his hands and immediately extended his arm connecting the back of his hands with Zak's face. To some spectators the process seemed like an instant.
"I guess I'm stronger than I thought."
Zak flew back about 10 meters in a spiraling motion until he landed on a wall.
'Gasp',
'what',
'how did he do that?'
'Isn't he Eser the guy who gets beaten practically everyday for practice?"
'How is he so strong?'
The crowd of students were in shock due to the sudden display of power.
Eser walked up to the unconscious body of Zak to see how is stats compared. It was well known that Zak is just a weak lackey, so defeating him wasn't enough cause for celebration.
