60 The Four (1/2)

He is trying hard.” Caitlyn muddles in her head, concluding from his expressions and efforts.

*Present*

”Take back what you said. Or I will make you eat those words.” The look on Faust's face was pissed and grimaced with pain, of everything he heard till now.

Every kid in the corridor looks shocked, and faces of the group of kids who bullied Faust showcased mixed emotions.

All of them gritting their teeth and balled their fists. ”Ahito! You need to do something. Teach him a lesson! How dare he say something against us.”

”Yes Ahito, We need to teach him a lesson!”

”Why aren't you doing anything Ahito! Let's go gang up on him.”

The kids around Ahito, leader of the group burst out, as he was still calm, telling him to do something while grabbing his arm.

All of the kids are only strong when it comes to hitting with words. When someone talks back to them, it is always Ahito they all look towards to.

”Look Ahito! How dare he look at us with those repulsive eyes, why don't you do something? Don't you feel anger? Come one Ahito! Let us beat him up!” A bald kid beside Ahito says furiously.

As the kids beside Ahito raise their voice trying to rile up Ahito to start a fight. All of their faces goes into shock assisted with fear in their eyes.

Faust starts walking towards them as soon as the bald kid runs his mouth, and they get more scared as Faust walks closer to them.

Faust stands in the face of Ahito, looking into his eyes without a hint of fear or discomfort shown.

”Y-you wanna have a taste of my punch Faust?” Ahito swings his right arm aiming for Faust's face. He has to make a move to keep his head up in front of all the kids watching him.

But his blow was all in vain as it completely fail to even graze Faust.

Faust elegantly leans back, lifting his chin up. The punch travelled from under his chin without even grazing. He then leans forward staring down at Ahito he says. ”Take the words back! Or none of you will be in good shape.” His eyes turned cold and dead and his voice becomes more confident as if he entered his battle mode, completely transforming.

Ahito in the class barely scratched the surface of kung-fu from his father. His elder brother in higher class is selected to take the test as well. So the group of bullies look up to Ahito as someone who could beat up everyone.

Seeing that Faust dodged his punch without even trying much, the group of bullies got more scared as chill settled into their backs on the sight.
