Chapter 11- Self-Beating Is The New Way!

Chapter 11- Self-Beating Is The New Way!

The group of boys approached Reo all at the same time. They clearly lacked any fighting knowledge since their posture, movement and even their fists looked as soft as pillows in contrast to Reo's hands which were very rough and had small scars on them from the long and tedious training he had to go through for years.

Reo could smirk at them in contempt and also a hint of pity. His eyes that changed completely eyed these people with extreme disdain. In his eyes, these scumbags were nothing but insects, or even lower than that. It was to the point where he felt that touching them alone would make his hands dirty. Many would consider it nothing but foolish arrogance, but that was how Reo felt and he was never someone who ran away from his feelings. Only cowards will run away from their emotions.

The first to reach him was obviously Oliver since he was the one who hated Reo the most and he wanted to kick his ass. His hand tightened into a fist and he swung it with his full strength toward Reo's face.

"TAKE THIS, PEASANT!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Reo looked at the upcoming punch with a blank look. His lips twitched slightly as he fought the sudden urge to laugh.

'So… So… Fucking slow!!' He thought to himself as he waited for the punch to come close enough from him.

Then, with a simple side-step, he dodged the punch and left it to fly beside him. Oliver had already put all of his weight in this punch, so when Reo avoided it, he lost his balance and stumbled on his feet before falling to the ground, kissing it.

"Look, at least you lost your first kiss," Reo said with a chuckle.

Oliver spat out a few times before wiping his mouth and glaring at Reo with even more rage.

"Get him! Get him now!! Fuck him up!!" He shouted at his companions.

The group nodded and surrounded him from all angles. In case Reo wanted to run, he had no chance of doing so… Not that he intended to run, anyway.

"We attack him all at the same time." One of them said before rushing toward him.

Then, instead of punching, he tried to kick his leg and make him fall down.

"Nope," Reo muttered before he jumped in the air.

"Ha! I got you now, bastard!" Another took that opportunity and extended his arms to grab him. However, what happened next made him question reality. Reo, who seemed to be still in the air, suddenly increased his speed and landed even quicker than expected. Then he dodged the arms.

"What?!"

Instead of grabbing the target, he ended up falling on top of the other attacker. To make matters even worse, their faces touched and their lips also interconnected into a funny kiss.

"Look at you, guys. I am sure that you all will be perfect husbands. Such beautiful kisses." Reo said with a small smile of pure mockery.

'What the fuck is wrong with him?! His character changed completely. It's as if we are fighting a different person.' The third thought as fear started creeping into his heart. His face paled and his heart started racing.

Reo averted his eyes from the two and looked straight at the third.

"How about you? Wanna join these love birds?" He asked with his cold eyes and his terrifying smile.

That was the last needle in the coffin. The boy couldn't handle it anymore and immediately turned around to run away.

"You fucker! Where are you going?!" Oliver shouted at his friend, but the latter didn't even turn around to look at him, let alone listen to whatever Oliver said.

'That look… If I stayed there… I will be dead.' He thought to himself as sweat fell down his face.

Reo scoffed at that coward and then focused on the leader. After that, he started approaching him slowly, step by step.

Oliver unconsciously started retreating with a frown.

"S-Stay away!!" He said with a meek voice.

"Come on, Oliver. You were the one who attacked me first. Why run away now? Is it fear? Or perhaps lack of will to fight anymore? I want to know, Oliver." Reo said with a calm yet incredibly spine-chilling voice. His eyes that were cold had a hint of ecstasy mixed in them that made him look like a monster in Oliver's eyes.

"No! Leave me alone, you monster!!"

Reo stopped for a moment before he chuckled slightly.

"You are quite funny, Oliver. Look at my hands. I didn't move them at all during this fight. I didn't touch you, Oliver. Why are you acting like that? I am far from being a monster, Oliver."

At this point, Oliver was beyond scared. He couldn't care anymore about revenge, Rena, or anything at all. He just wanted to run away from the demon standing in front of him. However, much to his bad luck, his back hit the wall, and he had no way of escaping now.

Reo closed the distance between them before he whispered in his ears.

"But… I could turn into one if you ever bother Rena again. Ok?"

*Drop*

Oliver fell down and went numb. His eyes were wide and his breathing was a mess. He looked at Reo's face. His glowing eyes, his cocky smile, his demeanor, and his aura. Everything was far beyond normal.

'H-He is not human!.' He thought to himself.

Reo then looked to the left and walked away with his hands in his pockets.

When Reo took a turn, he stopped for a moment and touched his face. His eyes then turned back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

'Why did I do that? Gramps told me to never do it. Maybe cuz I was pissed at the fact that that boy is trying to annoy Rena. I should be careful. No one should know about my secret… No one.'

He then took a deep breath and walked back to the cafeteria. Rena was still eating, so he sat down next to her and started eating, too.

"Why are you late?" She asked casually.

"Toilets here are weird. I had to take some time 'dealing' with them." He said meaningfully.

"Hmm, ok?" Rena was confused for a moment but didn't think much about it.

A few hours passed after that fairly peacefully. Oliver and his group left school with the excuse that they were feeling sick. Reo couldn't care less about them. They were nothing but an annoying bunch of insects that annoyed him and Rena. He took care of them and then simply forgot about the whole matter completely.

The duo left school and walked back to their home. Rena was beyond excited about finally coming back to play Paradise Online. Reo liked her energetic self so much that he could only smile slightly when he looked at her, talking excitedly about what she wanted to do. There was this sparkle in her eye that attracted him.

It was pure and beautiful, untouched by the cruelty of this world. He could only see that sparkle in Rena's eyes and no one else. This made him feel this desire to protect that look for the rest of his life. That was his wish. Nothing else mattered to him.

'Did I fall in love with Rena? I don't know since I never felt love before. But, I am sure that she is very precious to me and I must protect her no matter what. No matter who tried to ruin her happiness, I will crush them.' He thought to himself as he looked at her silhouette with a wistful look.

Meanwhile, back at the school, inside a dark room somewhere in the building, a person sat on a chair as he looked at the computer's screen, seemingly watching some camera footage.

Their expressions kept changing as the footage proceeded. Then, a small smile slowly crept into their face out of nowhere. No one knew what this mysterious person was thinking of.

"A very interesting child had come to my school."

*Lick*
