Chapter 34: Blooming Anger. (2/2)

”Huh? Are the kids fighting!?”

”Again!? For fuck sakes, can't that handsome fuck go one day without kicking someone's ass? Doesn't he know how much repairs cost!?”

Axel who, at the moment, was currently looking down on Gray, raised his badge up into the air, before saying. ”I'm sorry for causing a disturbance. Do not worry, all those affect will be reimbursed appropriately for any losses.”

He then proceeded to stomp on Gray's face. Before adding. ”Don't worry I'll deal with this bug quickl-”

Axel was interrupted as a sudden kick was thrust at his chin from beneath. Gray had slipped out from beneath his legs, before pushing himself off the ground with his arms, propelling himself and the kick right Axel.

It was fast, however For Axel-

'It may as well be standing still-'

And yet-

*BAM!*

Direct contact. The kick connected, so cleanly that the impact seemed to send chills down his spine. He had moved his body to avoid it, only to realize that it was frozen in place. In fact, not even his eyes could move.

What was most bizarre wasn't the fact that there was no recoil, the fact that he hadn't moved an inch despite being kicked, or the fact that no sound was released but rather.

'I couldn't feel it?'

He felt no pain from the attack. There was no doubt, that this was Gray's ability in action, but for it to not even cause any pain, what was the point?

'This dog… He dare go easy on-'

[Unpause]

*WHAM!*

His body was lifted off the ground, as his head bopped back, snapping him out of his thoughts in the process. His body flew threw the air before he collided against one of the tables.

A shocked look could be seen on his face as he proceeded to stagger whilst getting up. His eyes widened once he glanced at Gray's barely balanced figure. Without a change in his expression, with bloodthirsty eyes, he dragged the words from the depths of his gut as he said. ”Gray, I'll kill you.”

Gray dropped down from the handstand, his hair covering his expression as he repeated. ”Kill me…?”

A slight giggle broke out from Gray's mouth. The giggle slowly grew and progressed into a laugh.

”Hahaha… Ah… My head's finally cooled down… Kill me, huh?”

Gray placed his palm on his face, pulling back his hair as he raised his head.

Axel felt a chill go down his spine as he saw his expression. His cheeks were blushing red, he held the most brightest and innocent smile on his face as he said.

”Then.. Come and kill me if you can.”

There was just something about his expression that seemed abnormal. Even if it were just a short moment, Axel felt fear towards him.

'Has he lost it…?'

But rather than that, what bothered him more than Gray's abnormal expression was… The fact that he felt threatened by it.

”You're just Gray…!”

He leaned in forward before shouting. ”ACCELERATE!”

*VOOOM!*
