“Yeah, I’m fine,” Eli muttered as he turned to face Kenneth. His legs slightly tremble under Kenneth’s gaze.

“Let’s go,” Kenneth pushed the bathroom door open and sauntered out. Kenneth turned around.

“C’mon, you got to get with one of these girls. They’re hot as shit,” Kenneth sauntered over to Eli before placing his hand on his shoulder. A smirk etched across Kenneth’s face.

Now or never. Eli clenched his fist; he looked down at the floor.

You used [Pierce]!

Eli opened one of his eyes and found his fist connecting with Kenneth’s throat. Kenneth stumbled back as he coughed. Spit dribbled from his mouth before dripping on the floor.

Eli ran back to the karaoke room; he pushed the door open. He grabbed the microphone that one of the girls was using.

“Hey—!”

Kenneth barges into the room, his left hand on his throat.

“You little rat. I was being nice to you, and this how you pay me?” Kenneth’s eyes narrowed, and he clenched his fist.

Kenneth lunged forward, and Eli tried to guard his body. The punch connected with Eli’s cheek, making his head jerk to the left. Kenneth punched his stomach. Eli coughed blood as he clenched his stomach. Kenneth throws a straight punch to Eli’s face.

Eli’s head jerked backward as blood sprayed the air. The microphone in his hand slips. Eli tumbles on the floor, clenching his nose. Eli’s eyes widen as Kenneth grabs his collar.

“All you had to do was enjoy this night,” Kenneth leaned closer as his brows furrowed.

Eli poked Kenneth’s eye, which caused Kenneth to release him. Eli fell onto his ass and quickly grabbed the microphone. Eli bashed it on Kenneth’s noggin.

“You little—“ Kenneth covered his right eye, he seethed. His hand shot out to grab Eli’s collar.

Eli closed his eyes and clenched his fist.

You used [Pierce]!

Eli's ears perked up at the sound of audible gasps, his attention suddenly drawn to the source of the commotion. He blinked open his eyes, his vision coming into focus to reveal Kenneth's face contorted in agony. Kenneth’s neck veins bulged prominently as a single tear rolled down his cheek. Eli looks down at his fist and sees his fist connecting with Kenneth’s manhood

“I’m sorry—“ Eli quickly apologized as he stumbles back.

Kenneth falls onto his knees, clenching his parts. The quest hasn’t ended yet. Eli looked at the microphone in his hand. He gripped it tighter and bashed it on Kenneth’s noggin. Kenneth’s eyes rolled back as he fell on the floor.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

“Wow, Junior. You really showed him, huh. You should join us. The Delinquent Council,” one of the Seniors snickered as he looked at Kenneth’s unconscious form.

“No—“

Ding!

[New Chain Quest!]

Title: A Fun Day #3

Quest: Join the Delinquent Council (0/1)

[Deadline: End of Day]

“Yes, I meant yes,” Eli’s lips curled into a smile. A stray tear rolled down his cheek.

[Few Hours]

Eli arrived home; his eyes widened at his brother. Why’s he here? He’s barely here. Jack counted his envelope of cash. The white envelope was splashed in red; the leather jacket was covered in spots of red. Oh yeah, the meeting. Eli quickly took out the conference meeting.

“J-Jack? Here…” Eli’s voice wavered as he handed the paper to Jack.

Jack threw the envelope on the table. Jack snatched the paper and looked at it.

“Conference meeting? Tomorrow? What did you do? Skip class? Played on your phone? Fell asleep? Don’t tell me,” Jack crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash.

“You’re coming, right?” Eli questioned as Jack placed the envelope away before leaving the house.

What a jerk. Eli thought as he sat down on his couch. It’s already 9 PM. I should get some rest; today was… weird. Eli stood up and went to his room before sleeping.

[Next Day]

Eli walked to the gates before getting stopped.

“A minute?” A cold, distant voice asked. She leaned on the school walls.

“Uhm… sure?” Eli responded as he looked around nervously.

The girl walked into the back of the school. Eli pursued behind her. She stopped at the back of the school before leaning on the wall.

“Why did you join? The Delinquent Council? You’re not fit for it,” her brows furrowed. “You’re weak and lack for a better word, a loser. Once you ran to the bathroom, they were talking mad shit about you,” she sighed as she ran his hand through her black locks.

“I—“

“I don’t care. You need to become strong to survive,” the girl jabbed a finger on his chest. She shortly left.

He checked his phone, and his eyes widened. Crap! It’s time for the conference. Eli bolted to the school, and he pushed the crowd of students beside him. He finally entered the meeting room. There was a blond-haired, middle-aged lady sitting next to Jay.

Jay had a smirk etched across his face. He silently mouthed the words, you’re fucked. The middle-aged lady was furious. She tapped her feet on the floor.

“Well, Mr. Gray, where’s your guardian?” The principal sighed.

Eli looked around and saw no one. You jerk! Jack, you left me alone! Eli silently grits his teeth. Suddenly, the door swung open. Jack entered the meeting room with his hands inside his pockets. His leather jacket was slightly unbuttoned, making his tattoos peek out his chest.

“I am Eli’s guardian,” Jack sat down, putting his legs atop the table.

“Brother—?” The principal questioned before getting cut off.

“No, guardian. He’s not related to me,” Jack quickly said.

“Who’s this hooligan?” The lady questioned as she pointed a crooked finger at Jack.

“Now, now. Let’s start. Sir, Eli caused some… trouble for the school. He attacked his classmate. What I heard is that Jay simply asked if Eli could help him. Eli attacked Jay for no reason,” the principal wipes his glasses.

“Yeah! It hurt a lot! I just wanted to be helped! You help other students, so why not me?” Jay’s eyes swelled with tears. He wipes them with his sleeves.

“Eli wouldn’t never do that. He’s a fucking wimp,” Jack stood up. He sauntered over to Jay, looming over him.

Jack saw the subtle smirk on Jay’s lips. Jay looked up defiantly. In a split second, Jack’s fist connected with Jay’s face. Blood and teeth splattered everywhere. Everyone gasps in the room.

“You bastard!” The woman slapped Jack across the face. She quickly dials her husband’s number. “Your life is over! Once I call my husband!” She smirked.

“Hello?” A gruff voice could be heard from the phone. Jack quickly grabbed the phone away and headed outside the room.

“Hey, you delinquent!” The woman yelled.

Jack reentered the room, handing the phone to the woman. “You woman! Leave this man alone! You don’t know what harm this man can do?! Who cares! Our lives could be over in a flash,” the man yelled, his voice slightly wavering.

The lady looked at Jack, who was leaning on the wall. “Leave! Just leave! Who cares if Jay has a broken nose and teeth! Leave, you damn woman!” The man continues to yell.

The woman quickly grabbed Jay’s hand, who was quietly sobbing as he covered his face. The principal’s eyes widened at the sudden action. Jack sauntered over.

“Is the meeting done,” Jack said in a low, deep voice. The principal nodded as Jack loomed over him.

Jack turned his heel and left. The principal looks at Eli.

“Well, Mr. Gray, y-you’re freed to go,” the principal stuttered.

Eli nodded and left the room. Eli walks to the bathroom. He enters. Time to open my cards. Open system. Eli thought as he entered one of the stalls.
