Chapter 31: Second-years (2/2)

”Why you ask? You dirtied me shoe so you better clean it up!”

”Nice one, Len!” Lamaze said, whistling in joy.

John's eyes narrowed in anger, deep frown lines appearing on his head.

”And what if I refused?” He said in a calm voice, but his body was trembling in anger.

”You may be new here, but that doesn't mean I'll let you off easily. A world of pain awaits you once you refuse to clean my shoe. Guys, Aren't I right?” Len said with a smile, feeling joy at treating the weak in the way they deserve to be treated, just like slaves.

”Damn, right.”

His friend cracked their knuckles, ready to beat John the moment he refuses.

”These bastards, bullying me just because I'm a weak magician.” John cursed the group of students surrounding him in his mind. ”Well, I can't do anything about it or complain to anyone. No one's going to help me out of this situation. Better act as their slave than getting beaten to submission.”

Everyone around them turned to look away from John and the bullies, looking anywhere else but not at them. The freshmen and the weak magicians who haven't awaken were worried that they would become the target of the bullies if they stared at them for too long or tried to interfere with their business, so they looked away, having no intention to extend a helping hand towards John. Whereas the second-year students and the powerful ones weren't interested in helping John as he was a hollow, a magician with the damned destiny to never awaken in his entire life or possess an ability, something that is considered extremely valuable in this society where strength matters the most and ability determines a person's strength.

”So, are you going to clean it not?” Len said haughtily, moving his shoe with a bit of dirt on it a step away from John.

”Yes, senior,” John said in a shaky voice, finding it hard to control his anger.

”Good boy,” Len said after hearing John's answer.

”Damn it!” John cursed in his mind as he stood up to get some tissue paper from the table next to them.

However, the very next moment, Len shoved him to the ground and said, ”Hollow, use your uniform to wipe it clean.”

”Hahahaha!”

The group of students surrounding John laughed out loud.

”These pricks.” John cursed in his mind, gritting his teeth and using his cuff to clean the mud off Len's shoes.

”This should teach you some manners. Next time don't trip and dirty other people's belonging.” Len said, looking down at John with an evil grin on his face.
