13 Excess Soul 01 (2/2)
”Now, this is peculiar, peculiar indeed”, the Judge of Karma placed his hand on his chin.
”P-peculiar? Don't you mean impossible!?”
Inside Viel's core, the rumbling sounds of thunder could still be heard, but this time, it was accompanied by a torrent of dropping water.
”Yes, it is impossible as far as my knowledge goes, but I suppose this is why the phrase ”There's a storm brewing inside of me” was invented”, the Judge of Karma nodded at himself.
”No, it is not!”, both Xanthus and Lu Ying Yun rebuked.
”Well, there is one explanation I can think of..”, the Judge of Karma once again placed his hand on his chin and seemed to be lost in thought.
”Reveal thy thoughts, Judge of Karma”
”I have seen the same thing happening a couple of times, to put simply, this happens whenever a world is created”
”A world inside of a body!? Is that even possible!?”, both Xanthus and Lu Ying Yun had the same thoughts.
”No, I think we are beyond what is possible and what is not ever since we have been trapped in this bod-”, before the Judge of Karma can finish his sentence, a monotonous voice sounded.
'Player is experiencing a new emotion'
'Analyzing…50%'
'Analysis complete!'
'Player is currently experiencing ”Rage”'
”Rage!? But why would he even feel that towards this weak ass combat professor!?”, Xanthus grinded his teeth, his brows knitted in to the extremes. Viel's emotion is clearly having an affect to him, after all, out of the three of them he was the most familiar with rage.
”Indeed! Is this not the first time we have met this puny mortal named Li Zhao!?”, Lu Ying Yun added.
”The first time? No, it is not”, the Judge of Karma shook his head. ”I have felt him once when I was newly absorbed into this body”
”Really? Then who could this puny mortal be to be receiving such hate from our baby!?”
”If I am to be correct, it seems to be Viel's biological father”
”T-this-”, before they could finish their thoughts, they suddenly heard Viel's tiny voice.
”Y…Young noble… please don't”, cracks could be heard coming from every word that Viel says and without any warning, the view in the mirror shifted. It showed Li Zhao's face being hit with a tiny hand.
The tiny hand did not stop hitting Li Zhao, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free and his face started to bleed.
”O-oh no! Baby Viel, please stop!”, Lu Ying Yun rushed to the mirror and banged it with all her strength.
”W-woah! Calm yourself, Lu Ying Yun!”, Xanthus grabbed Lu Ying Yun's hand to stop her from banging the mirror.
”N-no! He should not take this puny mortal's life! This will isolate him from the world even further!”, Lu Ying Yun still continued to bang the mirror. ”You should know this the most, Xanthus!”
”T-this… even so, you must calm yourself! Creepy old man, help me stop her!”
”No, she is right. Let her be, nothing will happen anyway”, the Judge of Karma just smiled at Xanthus' plead for help.
”Y-you! What the hell is happening to you, boy!?”, Xanthus shouted at the mirror from the top of his lungs.

Back in the courtyard
”K-kyaa!”, some of the female students were in shock. They could not have imagined that the handsome combat professor would be beaten to a pulp like this, with his cave almost caving in. It all happened so fast.
”V-viel!? What are you doing!?”, Cynthia shouted at Viel, but to her disappointment, Viel didn't stop hitting the combat professor.
”Y-young noble, p-please stop..”, Viel kept hitting Combat Professor Li Zhao while saying the same words over and over again, his head almost shrinking down into the ground.
”Y-young n-noble”
'This… what is wrong with him!? He is clearly the one that should stop!', Xiao Pei glanced at the situation worriedly.
All of them wanted to stop Viel, but the question is, who would? They knew that this monster would most likely kill them if they tried to stop him.
”I-I told you guys that this boy is crazy!”, Wei Song, who has probably been forgotten by the whole class by now, shouted his claim.
”S-shut up! T-this is the right of the strong!”, Diao Mei debated Wei Song. Although she thought like this, she still put on a worried expression.
”This is not the time to argue about that! We should find someone to stop Viel!”, Cynthia quickly ran to ask for help but was stopped in her tracks when she noticed that a woman suddenly appeared on the dueling platform. It was the beautiful female elder from the Nine Golden Pavillions, Elder Xing Cai.
”I think this is far enough, little boy”, Elder Xing Cai waved her hand and a golden needle suddenly appeared, floating in mid-air. The needle flew towards Viel and hit him in his neck…. and Viel still continued to punch the combat professor.
”W-what!? Little boy, stop!” Elder Xing Cai was suddenly enveloped in sweat, by all means, the golden needle should have put Viel unconscious. Elder Xing Cai quickly rushed and hugged Viel with all of her strength.
”Sshh.. Little boy, it is alright now, please stop!”, Elder Xing Cai tried to calm down Viel. She didn't notice it before, but even though the anger on the boy's face could clearly be seen, his face was also full of tears. After a while, Viel's punches gradually slowed down.
”P-p-please… stop—”, and after saying the same words again for the last time, Viel finally fell unconscious.
Elder Xing Cai let out a breath of relief. Most of the students were still processing what happened because everything happened so fast. But all of them shared the same thought...
'There will be repercussions'
