Alex looked at the boy kowtowing to him,his face was expressionless as a robot, he had no plans of letting any of the six go, so this pleading was pointless"there's no need to say more, no matter how hard you hit your head on the ground or whatever you say, I won't spare you" Alex snorted.
Realizing that he had no hope of escaping the hands of this demon Lord,the boy chose to use his last resort, trying to attack and then make a run when Alex is down, although he knew his chance of succeeding was less than 10 percent,he still wanted to try his luck.
He suddenly launched himself towards Alex who was just a few steps from him,he made his calculation right and acted at a distance that was surely impossible to dodge.
For humans only though, mages would still be able to use their elements and super reflexes to avoid direct contact but Alex didn't want to reveal anything,him avoiding this attack would surely arouse suspicion.
Thus,he just let the boy crash into him.
The collision caused both of them to say hello to the hard floor,the boy immediately saw this as his chance,he quickly got off Alex and dashed towards the direction of the stairs,but Alex was a step faster.
The boy had only moved two steps when Alex grabbed his left ankle,he tugged on it lightly and the boy came down with Alex below him.
His nose instantly started bleeding but the boy did not think of his injury at the moment, escaping Alex was his priority,he threw his right leg backwards, since he was currently on the floor,this action was supposed to stomp on Alex's head.
The resistance he should feel when his leg hit Alex's head never came as his leg passed through air,he hurriedly looked down and was shocked.
Alex wasn't there anymore.
He suddenly felt an excruciating feeling that caused him to turn his gaze towards his front, and there he was,the demon,Alex,who was currently standing on the boys fingers,he stepped so hard that the fingers made cracking sounds.
The boy screamed out in pain,he withdrew his hand after Alex raised his foot and curled his body as he wailed miserably.
Alex felt nothing watching the boy cry,he ran his leg into his stomach, sending him towards his other friends who by now had started recovering (some).
He wiped his hands and rearranged his clothes that were in slight disorder because of the fall earlier.
He turned to the boy who was being bullied earlier,he wanted to say something when he found the kid staring at him blankly,he was in a daze!!
He just shook his head and left,in that state, that kid wouldn't understand anything he would say so he left without saying a word.
The student stared at Alex's back as the latter moved further and further away till he was completely out of sight,he returned his gaze to the six boys who had ganged up on him earlier but were now wincing in pain,his body shivered.
He didn't know who to feel sorry for, himself or the six boys? He had thought Alex was going to get messed up badly,but who would have thought a single student would mess them up so badly and didn't even get a scratch.
He was relieved that he wasn't one of them, and also glad Alex wasn't a bully who targeted him. If that had happened,his life would be over, literally over, taking such a quick beating would certainly traumatize him for life.
He finally had the strength to get off the floor,his knees hurt badly,he had been kneeling for quite a while now,he compelled his messy State to the miserable six and muttered..
"You guys seriously shouldn't have attacked him".
He looked towards the direction Alex had disappeared into one last time before moving the other way, although he felt Alex wasn't a bad person,he thought it would be best to keep his distance,what if he offends the other party unintentionally...he would be dead!!
Meanwhile,the main culprit of the crime was on his way to the cafeteria,he was feeling hungry after correcting some brothers and teaching them how to absorb the feeling of pain and the harmony of torture,he smiled brightly,he was a good brother indeed.(Alex 'saint mode' jeaga)
[I knew you were a sadist, just what did you do to those kids?] Zero's tired voice played in his head,she had seen everything but didn't interrupt,she felt it would be pointless.
"Yo,zero, what's up,you enjoyed the show, right?"Alex laughed out loud.
Some students who were also moving about in the hallway looked at Alex with weird eyes,they were wondering who the zero he was talking to was.
He was moving alone and didn't have his headphones on either,or had he gone insane? But no one tried to find out from him,they just looked for a second or two and returned to minding their own businesses.
Alex noticed this and smiled awkwardly,he felt quite embarrassed being stared at with such eyes,he somehow forgot only he could hear zero's voice and he didn't necessarily need to speak out loud when talking to her,but he had ended up blurting everything out just now,thank goodness it wasn't something important.
[That wasn't a freaking show, don't try to entice me, you were just displaying your sadistic nature] zero declared firmly, although Alex didn't really torture then, making someone feel hopeless was mental torture and that was why Alex dealt with them one at a time intead of waiting for all of them to crowd him.
"They asked for it and am not a sadist too" Alex said softly,he was really getting tired of zero's arguing,why is she sounding like an angry girlfriend who caught her boyfriend cheating red-handed??
[You should stop doing such things, these kids aren't cultivators or mages, you are seriously going to get them traumatized from such treatments,I can already tell that those kids are going to start getting uncomfortable whenever they are around you] zero finally calmed down and said gently to Alex.
"Why do you refer to them as kids?What am I?"
[You are an old man in a child's body] zero said with a teasing voice.
"Whatever....I will try to do it the normal way next time" Alex said, since his actions were going to traumatize them,he would just beat them like normal people when they fight,not too powerful, not too weak.
[ ????] Speechless zero
"What is it again? didn't I just say I would do it normally next time?" Alex already got used to making remarks so he wasn't surprised,he was just confused,why make a speechless remark.
[Next time?you said NEXT TIME??] Zero roared in Alex's head.
Alex, who was walking carefreelly suddenly stopped,he held his head in pain,he gritted his teeth to stop any sound from leaking from his mouth,he gently rested his body on the wall to prevent himself from falling.
