School bully

One of the rank 3's asked as he size up Bernard.

Bernard began to walk faster, As he pretended not to have heard him talking.

"Piece of sh*t, take one more step and you gonna know how f*cked up you are." Bernard suddenly heard the voice, saying again this time with a much harsher tone and threatening manner.

Without no other choice, Bernard had to turn around at this moment he could only stop as the voice sounded in his ears.

"So you think you can just walk around like you own the place?" The student said, cracking his hands.

Since he had been forced to stop walking, Bernard was told to turn around and come forward at this moment Ryan who was beside his friend was able to catch a glimpse of the student who the rank 3's was calling, and the moment he did he was surprised.

"Bernard Cat?" Ryan almost blurted out.

"So what's your name?" The student said, still staring at him besides that Bernard thought it seemed like he had no intention of attacking him.

While he was being sized up, Bernard tried to hide his bracelet in his pocket, unfortunately, he failed as the student looked at him and a grin formed on his expression.

"Bernard Cat!" Bernard finally said after a deep breath.

"So what is a rank 1 piece of sh*t, doing out here?"

"Nevermind, since you are here we were starting to feel bored just watching those two mofos get beat up. Like I said how about we make a bet, fight that scumbag over there if you win we let you go, otherwise, you join them?" The student said with a grin widely spreading on his lips this time he was no longer looking at Bernard but at the rank 2 students who was beating Ryan and his friend.

"So what do you think about it? Yes, hey everyone he said yes." The student shouted with sarcasm, as he looked at the other rank 3's who couldn't help but laugh out loudly.

Ryan had a pale expression as he looked at his friend before he finally looked at Bernard, though they hadn't interacted much but he was already feeling a bit concerned for him.

Ryan wouldn't believe Bernard could fight a rank 2.5 symbiote user, or defend against an attack from one. During the test earlier, besides himself, he was the only person who couldn't summon his symbiote beside that he also seemed like he was a person without a symbiote beast during the test.

Needless to say, Ryan had given up all hope to fight back, without his friend who was a rank 3 he knew they stood no chance against the rank 2.5 students, not to talk of those rank 3's who easily took his friend out with just a single punch.

He could already foresee the results of having a direct confrontation with a bunch of rank 3's students, making him break out in cold sweats with that thought he mind he didn't dare utter a word or even think of putting up a fight out of fear.

Compared to earth where he could hole up himself from conflicts, or even report one. Unfortunately, why the new environment seemed like paradise he was starting to realize it was nothing more than a hellhole, where even the academy authorities acted like they couldn't see everything that was happening, almost like they didn't care about their lives enough to interfere.

At first, they were just as curious as others exploring the new environment, but then a group of rank 3's students suddenly confronted them in the hallway, the strongest one among the rank 3's told them a rank 1 student had no right to be friends with a rank 3 student.

When his friend refused and tried to fight back by summoning his symbiote, everything suddenly became bad as the strongest rank 3 students ordered the rest of his group to attack them for refusing his 'goodwill'.

Even though his friend was strong, every attempt to fight back failed, more so after his jaguar symbiote was captured. But that wasn't all, or they wouldn't be getting their asses handed out to them by a rank 2 student.

In order to further humiliate his friend, they called a random rank 2.5 student to beat them up as well as threaten the student, if the student didn't want to be in their place.

After that, with no other choice, the student began sending punch after punch, while his friend would try to put up some resistance, however whenever that happened the rest of the rank 3's would knock him out cold, making all his attempts to be futile.

The final outcome was the rank 2.5 student being forced against his will to beat them, even if he didn't want to. Though the rank 2.5 students felt extremely bad for them, but then he knew he was helpless just like them moreover he couldn't risk his own life just because of some random students.
