Chapter 12: I Will Drag You Along

~ "Yes, Zenith is right! After messing with him on his first day here, this boy doesn't deserve to sit on the same level as us! We need to show him his place!" 

The other Alpha students in the class clamored together as soon as they heard Zenith's declaration. Standing amidst the chaos, Kylian felt disgusted with how almost all the students in the Academy sided with Zenith, despite he was the main culprit here. 

But before he could utter a word, the teacher glowered at Zenith, while exhaling with a heavy sigh, "Zenith, it's not fair to break a student's desk and force him to sit on the floor. As a model student, you should know this is very disrespectful." 

"He's the one who disrespected me at first." However, with a nonchalant shrug, Zenith pointed his thumb towards Kylian while whining, "He shouldn't have tried to mess with me on his first day, so I am giving him the same treatment as a payback now. Besides, he doesn't seem to belong to any influential background either. So among the Alphas here, he is the suited one to be treated as a peasant." 

~ "Yes, Zenith is right! This guy is a darn peasant…look he doesn't have anything branded on him! Not even a pair of branded shoes!" 

"Hah," hearing the clamor once again from the class, the teacher exhaled another heavy sigh and averted his grim eyes towards Kylian. 

Watching him stand frozen while enduring the humiliation, the teacher addressed, "Kylian, do you want to change the class assigned to you? In a new class, I will try my best to arrange a new seat for you—"

"I am not the type to run away from bullies. Rather, I like to crush them." But cutting off his words, Kylian tossed a cold sneer at Zenith when he walked up to his desk.

At this moment, the Zenith's arrogant smirk had tainted a little as if he wasn't expecting this outcome from him. He wanted to shake him up with the insult, but Kylian calmly tackled the situation and even strolled near his seat. 

Meeting his ocean eyes gleaming with rage, Zenith coldly addressed, "If you simply beg me right now, I ease the situation for you." 

"Pfft!" But Kylian let out a faint chuckle, watching all the curious gazes from the students focused on him. Even Aiden was also keenly gazing at Kylian as if his actions were making everyone curious. 

"I knew you wouldn't get punished for what you did to my desk, as it must be one of your nasty bullying tactics. But, you can't shake me off with such petty acts, Zenith Agastya." Pronouncing his full name in a frigid tone, Kylian snagged a chair from the right next desk which belonged to one of Zenith's boys, and calmly placed it next to his seat. 

When Kylian firmly sat on the chair, he tossed a vengeful smug at Zenith this time while uttering aloud, "Since you are the one who ordered your minions to break my desk, so you must take responsibility for your actions. That's why, from now on, we are going to share the same desk, as I will sit right next to you." 

An awkward silence prevailed across the entire study room as soon as Kylian proclaimed his loud answer. Not only did it leave Zenith awestruck, along with the teacher, but the student whose chair was snatched by Kylian growled at him, "Hey, are you fuckin' crazy? What are you doing? Our Master never shared his desk with anyone, he despises someone to death if they ever dare to barge near his boundary!" 

"Oh really? Then from now on, I am going to barge inside your Master's boundary." Seeming unbothered from his uproar, Kylian tossed his cold smile at Zenith while urging him, "You must have really taken a liking to me since you are coming with new ways to piss me off, so I will sit right next to you and observe what you can further do to humiliate me." 

"Haha," a scary sneer curved Zenith's cherry lips when he muttered at Kylian, glaring intensely with his pitch-black eyes, "Get away from me, right at this moment." 

"Awe, are you threatening me now?" Instead of feeling the slightest scare, Kylian even laid back slackly on his chair, while he chose to irritate Zenith, "You started it first. You broke my desk first, so I want to share the same desk with you. There's no point in telling me to get away." 

"H-Hey, both of you, calm down! Kylian, Zenith?" Along with the other classmates, the teacher could also vividly sense the tension built up between the two giant sturdy boys who were glaring at each other. 

"I will count up to three, if you do not leave, I will make you pay for your audacity." Suddenly with his declaration, Zenith started stretching his arms as if he was serious about his warning this time. 

But Kylian didn't even flinch and calmly addressed, "Even if you count up to 100, I won't budge." 

"One."

"Yes, keep going."

"Two."

"Count it faster, why are you slow? Are you a snail?" 

"And three!" 

THUD!!

Just with his third count, immediately Zenith grabbed Kylian by his neck and pushed him against the glass window near them, breaking the window with his magnificent strength in the process. 

Even when his grip fiercely tightened around Kylian's neck, he didn't flinch or show the slightest hint of fear in his ocean eyes as he didn't stop glaring at him. 

"HEY! STOP IT BOTH OF YOU! STOP!" The teacher ardently screamed from behind with panic, along with the other students who shuddered to witness Zenith's outburst of rage. 

Unknowingly, Zenith's dark onyx pupils transformed into illuminant red in color, depicting his rage as the only dominant supreme Alpha of the entire Elite Academy. He clasped his fingers around Kylian's neck, along with his claws emerging out of his digits. 

Looking ardently into his gaze, he grunted angrily, "What's your fuckin' problem, huh? Why don't you fuckin' submit to me? If you wish to mess with me so much, then shall I throw you down at the pool below so you can fuckin' cool off your head?" 

"STOP IT, ZENITH! WE ARE AT THE FIFTH FLOOR! THIS BOY MIGHT GET SEVERELY INJURED!" The teacher howled, trying to run toward them but he was blocked by Zenith's gang who stood tall guarding him amidst the chaos. They didn't even allow Aiden to get near Zenith so that he might try to pull them apart. 

However, hearing his howl, his diabolical smirk curved when Zenith grunted, "Then, it should be better to crack your head open with the fall, so you can get a lesson on what it happens to mess with me, Kylian Marley. I must have been too lenient on you, so, shall I send you to hell?" 

"Pfft! Haha!" But instead of being scared, Kylian sneered while struggling to breathe with his throat being choked so hard.

But his intimidating glare towards Zenith shimmered under the warm sunrays falling over his face when he growled back, "I will never submit to you. And if you're sending me to hell, I'll drag you along with me as well!"
