“Yo!”
Some weight was added to my shoulders, and it began to weigh even more as he pressed his arms down.
But what can I do?
I just stayed quiet while Jay went on his rant on how women are the best. His topic caught my attention, never did he mention women to me other than saying a word to his wife.
“So, what happened?”
I asked him a private question, maybe his wife gave him another kid?
“She’s too cute! Especially yesterday when we did it. Ugh!”
I listened to him flexing his relationship. Plus this guy needs to learn about censorship. He just casually told me that he and his most probably wife had done the deed.
“I wonder how I should name our kid….”
I noticed him looking around the train, wait was he really getting inspiration from objects around the train?
“Ah! Yin and Yang!”
I pity his kid, why would he name his kid “Yin and Yang?”. Unless of course he has twins, and that would be slightly acceptable. But still, where did he even get this idea?
I looked around, and after a while, I found a book with a cover page of Yin and Yang. Probably that.
“A girl and boy?”
“Yup!”
I silently congratulated him.
The train finally stopped after a few minutes, we got up and exited the train station. We walked towards the school campus stopped just right at the entrance.
“Well, I’m here. Where will you go next?” I asked an important question. Who knows, maybe he will follow me inside and act as my twin.
“I am going to follow you inside of course." Seriously? "Just kidding, I will probably stay here until 4 AM”
Knowing him, he probably would.
“See you later then”
I entered the school campus, but instead of going straight to my classroom, I instead went to the admin office to proclaim that I was back from my 1-month vacation.
Thankfully I was wearing the contact lenses. So I have a proper explanation and reason on why I was gone for a month. Medical reasons
“Good morning”
I greeted the school principal
“Morning, take a seat, Jared.”
I pulled back the seat facing the principal and sat it
“How are you?”
“The same as usual”
“How is college? Are the students kind to you?”
“I guess it is a bit more tolerable than secondary school”
It was inevitable that the bullying will simmer down. People do grow up and mature.
“Why are you not in your school uniform?” He finally addressed it, he must've realized by now.
I stayed silent for some moment. I already had plans to quit school even before meeting Jay. I was already set for life because of the wealth my adoptive parents left me.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
But meeting Jay just convinced me to leave school.
“I’m dropping out”
He looked into my eyes silently for a couple of seconds until he disturbed the silence with a heavy sigh.
“I am really sorry for not being able to help you with your problem”
I stood up from my chair and looked at him straight in the eyes.
“No, thank you for making my days here at least bearable”
I turned around and exited the admin office. I intended this to be my last visit to this place.
As I left the campus, I saw Jay talking with the school guard. I walked towards him with a slight wave.
“So, what were you guys talking about?”
The guard noticed me, a student walking out of the campus. But it seemed the lack of uniform stopped him from reprimanding me for going outside.
He probably thought that I was going home to get my uniform.
"Oh, just nothing really, unimportant. So, wanna go for a cup of tea?”
I just nodded at his invitation. Even if he just runs away, I can probably pay for it.
As we were walking towards a popular cafe where many students go, he suddenly made a random announcement.
“Oh, and my wife said she wants to meet you, want to come and see her?”
So, he was talking to her about me? Also, why did he not say it to me while we were on the train? Oh well, it is what it is. Plus, I genuinely want to meet the woman this guy fell in love with.
“Sure, I would be glad to meet her”
Suddenly his face morphed into that of annoyance and our surroundings turned into pitch black. My eyes couldn’t see anything, thankfully there was something I learned to do with my body.
I learned something in that month a certain "technique". I don't know if it was a technique or not since it was like activating it was like moving my arm around. It was so natural that it was terrifying
I can change my eyes. When I activate that "technique", I can see everything, from sound waves, and EM waves, to matter. I can see without light.
A large figure appeared, and he still looked like electricity. I finally understood why they were like that. That appearance occurs when a higher dimension gets compressed forcefully into the 3rd dimension. While Jay’s appearance occurs if he takes on a 3rd-dimensional form.
“I thought you already took care of them”
He silently muttered, but it was enough that I heard it.
But what even happened? It was as if everything was destroyed under this guy’s presence alone.
A blade-like structure formed and was about to hit me, but then it broke. Jay appeared instantly beside him. A limb flew out and it was from our attacker.
I did not even see what happened, it was as if that arm was always in Jay’s hand.
Jay instantly disappeared and reappeared beside me with his usual carefree smile.
“Are you tired of living? Oh well, I wouldn’t be surprised considering you lived for 100 decillion years”
The figure ignored what Jay was saying and instead attacked him the moment his arm regenerated. He disappeared in an instant, but then he reappeared with both of his arms gone.
“Kuh!”
Our attacker finally made a sound, it seemed he couldn’t do anything to me since Jay was here.
“What gave you the idea to attack him? I thought you no longer cared about power after you escaped from him…. Or rather he just ignored you”
Our attacker then took a 3-dimensional form. His hair and eyes were purple, his skin as pale as the snow, and a tall figure. However, it appears he lost his arms, there was no cell division in the arms, and they were dead.
“When I found out that Ashura had a sibling, I couldn’t pass the opportunity to devour him. That way, I will have revenge on the humiliation he brought to me 8 octillion years ago!”
His arms were replaced with fake arms made of mana. He instantly appeared in front of me, he grabbed hold of my body and his head morphed into a hideous thing. There were plenty of teeth all around his mouth, and he was about to eat my face.
That was until his face turned back into a normal one.
“Huh?”
A hand was planted on his mouth, and it was Jay’s. I saw his hand glow for a bit, and then our attacker disappeared.
“Kuah! Kuah!”
Our attacker let out a few grunts, either from frustration or pain. He was also holding his now missing jaw.
The space around us shattered like glass. I do not know what was currently happening, all I know was that this guy was trying to kill me.
A sword appeared on his hand and it was glowing a purple aura. He appeared in front of Jay.
"!!!!" but all it did was remove half of his body and face. Poor guy, even tho he attacked me, I couldn't help but pity him.
There was no mana involved, it was as if it just happened that he no longer had some parts of his body.
I
felt something in the world changed, what is it? There was this feeling.
After feeling that feeling, our mysterious attacker froze in place, it was as if something was missing that allowed him to move.
In quick succession, Jay let out of his hand, and a long sword appeared. There was nothing special about its design other than that it was devoid of color. But there was something about it that felt, dreadful.
It was coated with a certain spell that saved me.
Jay sliced the attacker a tiny bit, and he immediately disappeared. There was something about the attacker that felt important, and when he disappeared, something felt missing and wrong.
I felt that feeling once again, I do not know what changed inside the world, but I know that something about it changed.
A beautiful saber then appeared out of thin air. Its color was purple just like our attacker.
Jay suddenly grabbed the sword by its blade with his left hand, pulled it towards him, and “gave” it to me.
“What?”
“Take it, it's yours now. Make sure to hold it by its handle, well unless you want to cut yourself that is”
He said, ignoring that he was holding the blade barehanded. But knowing him, it probably doesn't hurt him.
“Are you sure? That sword looks expensive and strong”
“
Eh, I have better swords including this one-”
He slightly highlighted the sword devoid of any color he was holding in his right hand.
“This sword was just that person made into a sword”
“If you say so then-” I felt suspicious, but I am not that stupid to dent a free gift. After I took it, the sword in his right hand disappeared in an instant. There was no fade, it just went poof!
“Also, you might want to store that. Try to use your mana to create a brand-new space where you can store stuff. “
I did just as he told me, I opened a hole in front of me and dumped the sword like as if it was garbage
“You are a fast learner, I am impressed. But....-” he just stared at the hole that I created using magic. "This wasn't really necessary..... But oh well!"
He said that last bit with a proud smile, in an instant, our surroundings changed, and there it revealed a void.
What the hell happened?
Again, in an instant, our surroundings changed again, this time the surroundings changed as they were once before; a lot of people walking on the pedestrian lane with some vehicles driving on the main road.
“So, what tea do you want?” On second thought-
“Not tea, but a cup of coffee please”
“Such an uncivilized generation, but alright. Latte?” I nodded at his question and we began walking to the cafe.
