1.06.2 Lets see

Luvi was unaware of the life others lived.

He was too busy with his own and the world around him.

Alone in his room, he had started his practice.

"One step forward, simple thrust."

He practiced as it was shown in the diagram. Though it would be more likely to say he was familiarizing himself with the moves before beginning actual practice.

"Fist arts require energy to be focused on the knuckles."

He was only a trainee and lacked enough mana to practice any proper fighting techniques. But it didn't mean he can't learn the motions before starting to actually practice.

"It might have the name of Fist arts, but it also contains movements, kicks and dodges. A complete combat style and closer to kick boxing than just punching."

It was a combat technique just like the various martial arts that existed before in the world. WIth only difference being the boost and strengthening that one obtains by actively using the mana in certain parts of body at the right moment

For example, if he pushes the mana on his feet, he can jump higher. He can even increase his defense if he covers a certain part of body with mana which helps cushion the blow.

'This is the basics anyone is able to do.'

He looked at other exercises and it also explained the basic utilization of mana in each of these basic techniques.

Something which was absent from high level or advanced techniques.

'It truly is made for newbies.'

There were multiple reasons he picked fist arts. The most important one being there was not much space to practice other techniques nor the weapons or tools to practice them.

"I just pray that no one notices the claw arts I put in that list were of intermediate level.'

Luvi laughed.

There were no basic claw arts present in the gift he was given. So he picked one advanced technique while adding the basic mana application of mana in it and changed it to look like it was a basic technique.

The reason he did this was for his friend. Luvi wondered that with his friend's ability, the claw arts would be perfect for him.

And yes, although they are harder to master and require some additional material as well as drugs. It was still a perfect technique.

Though there was one problem.

'Someone among the group would probably notice it and come to some wrong conclusion.'

This was the other reason, others might probably think DreamMachine herself might be practicing claw techniques, hence the reason why such a weird technique that requires additional materials to practice was hidden among the rest.

Which can act as a mask for him, as if there is someone bad among the group looking to find his true identity. They would look for a claw practitioner and not a fist one.

It was midday and Luvi's body was still sore from yesterday's beating. Though more of this soreness was the result of his ensuing exercise even though his body was injured.

But as they were only surface level injuries, Luvi didn't mind them as much. And hence he suffered the consequences of his foolishness today.

'I will rest today.'

He thought, but then someone rang his doorbell, causing him to get up once again.

'This fucking fate.'

He cursed at his luck,while taking out a bottle of mango juice from his fridge and then opening the door.

"Is this Kuluvi Shayten?" Like before, there were 2 boys who came to him this time. Though unlike before, the face of these young men didn't hold any curiosity or questioning. But they seemed way more on the malicious side of things.

"Again?" Luvi took a sip from his juice bottle before looking at them. "What is it this time?"

'Again?' The two students were confused by this. It would seem someone has come here before with the same intention as them.

But it didn't mean they would stop due to this. And even though they can see some injuries on Luvi, they know that the fat bastard hasn't learned his lesson yet.

"Did you know how big of a problem you caused?"

Luvi was surprised to hear this, but he didn't show much on his face.

'Problem?...' This time, Luvi was sure he didn't do a thing. He didn't recall doing anything wrong in the past few days besides changing the direction of human evolution.

He had distracted most with his glib tongue before and there were no new events in his mind beside the one that happened with Adam.

But this doesn't seem related to Adam, for one they seemed surprised by his beaten up face and state and. And second, Adam was too simple to do something like this.

'They came with the intention to beat me.

Adam was a kind of guy that hadn't even asked for his name. No he didn't even bother with it and gave him a new name just like he did with Andy.

So Luvi was sure these two had no relations with him as they knew his real name as well.

"I know, but it's not like I intended to do any harm." So Luvi tried to play it safe.

He had received his beating already and seen the limits of his strength when compared to normal people. There was no need for another experiment of that kind anymore.

"Didn't intend any harm? Because of you.."

"Hey stop… don't say that stuff out loud." The other student stopped his friend from saying anything anymore.

It would seem the matter was so secretive that they can't speak about it openly.

But what sorts of secrets would a bunch of students have?

Luvi was curious, but he didn't intend to dig further.

"Anyways, just come with us." The other student said, who seemed much kinder in comparison to the first one.

"And why should I follow you?" Luvi asked curious about why these two were even here. "Looking at your friend, he seems like he wants to beat me… I ain't stupid enough to follow you guys."

He didn't know the reason these two were here. And he sure as hell not brainless to follow total strangers out of his dorm.

At least in dorms, there are cameras in every corridor and hence safety.

But if he follows them out, that won't be the case anymore.

"This is not a request." The frist student who was named Lakhan said with a mocking smile on his face. "We know where your friend is. If you don't come, we will go to him. It's your choice."

Hearing this, Luvi paused for a bit while he picked his nose. Then he replied," Well, kick him in the ass for me as well." There was a big smile on his face as he said it. "That cunt kicked me in the ass a few days ago non-stop. But as I am weak, I couldn't take my revenge. Hence, I pray for your success."

"Not even caring about your friend? Just so you know, we are not someone who just jokes around. The harm your actions have caused us is not simple. Someone ought to be responsible for it and we chose you." The calm guy explained, he seemed someone rational.

But anyone would be able to see that he was leading the other angered student.

"So something happened and instead of blaming your own, you chose someone you didn't even have anything to do with you guys." Luvi said with some thought before patting the shoulder of the other student named Hamid. "Good choice, I would have done the same." Luvi really respected the guy in front of him.

He didn't blame those under him, instead he chose to find another scapegoat. Or so it would seem.

"Please, keep your hand away from me." Luvi's words were not appreciated by Hamid, though the true reason for this response from Hamid was because Luvi actually wiped his nose on his shirt while he was patting him.

And Hamid didn't notice this sneaky action of Luvi, making him angry and disgusted by the fat man in front of him.

'This kind of bastard is the topper of our class?'

He found it hard to believe but the truth was in front of his eyes.

"Just beat him here Hamid. The most we will get is some light punishment." Lakhan suggested as his body lit up with red hue. But Hamid held his hand back.

"We already suffered enough and this is to be done discreetly." Hamid said, then he turned to look at Luvi. "Let's see how long you stay in your dorm."

"Man, you will be surprised how long I can stay there." Luvi said with some embarrassment.

"I know, but lets wait and see. How about it?" Hamid also had a soft smile on his face as he left the scene.

Hamid had learned about Luvi and he was aware that Luvi was a man that never got out of his dorm at all.

But none of that mattered. There were various ways to get someone like that out of his dorms.
