Chapter 8: I made my bully fly?
I was drowning. The water was flowing into my windpipe through my nostrils. However, I didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, it gave me a peaceful feeling. I opened my eyes slowly. Crystal blue water twinkled in front of my blurry vision. How does the water glimmer like this? I tried to think but, my brain felt numb.
I was looking at the pitch-black bottom of the waters. Am I dying? Why don't I feel scared? Am I dead already?
"Ding... The reviving process was completed successfully. The player will be awoken on 10, 9, 8,..."
What did I just hear? I tried to comprehend. But, my brain didn't cooperate with me to understand.
"2, 1, 0... Treeing."
"UGHHHHHHH."
I woke up screeching like a banshee. I heard my rapid heartbeat thumping like a drum through my ears. WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON? WHAT'S HAPPENING.
I looked around to understand what's going on. Alright. I'm here, in my room, on my bed, even wearing my freaking shoes. No way. I'll never put on my shoes while I sleep. My mind was fuzzy. I tried to remember what happened to me.
Yeah, I was floating inside a swimming pool or something like that. I was dying, or was I? I remembered the way my brain worked like a sloth, without trying to escape. Then I heard a voice. An automated voice. It said something like...
"Yo, dumbhead, wake up. It's too late. You have school today." Amy's friendly voice crushed my thought process in an instant.
Why are you like this, Amy? Aren't you, my assistant?
"If I'm not your assistant, I won't waste my time with a pumpkin head like you. By the way, Nice job yesterday.
However, I had to use your reviving potion to repair your 18 broken ribs and 138 of your other bones. You only faced a level 1 special quest and returned to me like a mashed potato."
Yes, I remember now. I caught the flag after fatally injuring myself. But, didn't I die?
"No, you didn't. I told you, I used the reviving potion on you, as you commanded."
Wait. so, if I didn't command, would this system let me die?
"No, I still use the potion under emergency-state law. But, it would cost 50 Exp. points for you." Amy explained.
I didn't know whether I should be happy or going insane. The Hell, woman. 50 Exp. points? Why is everything so expensive in this system?
"I don't know about that. But, I know one thing. The car that was parked in the front yard just left."
"the car in the... HUH? HOLY COW."
I jumped out of the bed and peeped out from the window. Yeah, Julian and Mr. Lance already left, leaving poor me behind. How unfortunate am I?
After getting ready, I ran the whole way to school using short-cuts. I felt like Tarzan. Well, the budget version I guess. But, the transformation in my body helped me to leap over the fences and slid past the gates easily like breathing.
Wait, Did my stats changed last night? I forgot to check them. Imma check them at school. The current target-> Reach the school within five minutes.
Believe it or not when I reached the school there wasn't much sweat on my body. I didn't feel very tired either. And most importantly, I managed to reach there before the second bell rings.
I went to my locker, took my stuff, and headed into the classroom. It wasn't as bad a day as I thought.
********
I jinxed it.
I said it was a good day and jinxed my luck. If not, how could I end up in front of this muscle mountain right now? It's not just any muscle mountain. The school bully Jonathan.
And, guess what? He loves me.
Love to beat me up.
It was his gang that beat me up a few days ago. I mean my penalty day. It was understandable. I had to pay my price for forgetting the daily tasks. But, today?
I gulped.
"Ho, ho, look what we have here? Our dear little Sammy. Did you want to visit us? Did you miss us?"
'I'd like to see you go missing.' Haha. I didn't say that out loud. I valued my teeth, even though they happened to be located in a misshapen way.
Hey, let me explain how poor me ended up in their mercy like this.
I play the triangle in the school orchestra. DON'T YOU DARE LAUGH. IT ISN'T EASY INSTRUMENT TO PLAY AS YOU THINK. Ahem.. ok. So, I had to grab my music notes which I left in the music room a few days ago. Then to my misfortune, this hulk and his two buddies were sitting there. Before I escaped they noticed my presence.
So, here I am, a rabbit in the wolf den.
I ground my teeth and smiled. "Sorry, Jonathan. I didn't know your group was practicing today. I will go. I'll come tomorrow." I casually turned around to slip away.
Why in the hell did they have to stay in the music practice room right now? I mean, weren't they supposed to go around bullying a weakling or serenading some school flowers? Jeez, my luck was horrible.
Somebody grabbed me from my collar.
"Hold on a second. Who told you to go?" Andrew, the right-hand man of Jonathan asked me with fake sweetness.
"Yeah, you didn't even give us any chance to treat you with anything. Aren't we supposed to treat our guests better?" Jonathan exclaimed dramatically.
No thanks. You can keep your treats and sit on them. Just let me go.
I knew my time had come. It's the end. I don't know what I did to deserve this but, I expected a punch at any moment.
"No, thank you for your consideration, Jonathan. I have to go now. the teacher..."
Thwak.
My jaw exploded with throbbing pain. "Did I tell you to speak, you piece of trash?" Jonathan roared. Guess, I just overdid my talking.
"When we give a small space, these imbeciles want to sit on our heads." Another punch. "Know your place you filthy rat."
What the F*CK. I don't want to sit on your head. Why should I sit on your empty head, when there were so many chairs. I felt angry.
It was at this moment the unexpected happened.
Jonathan's next punch accelerated towards my eyes. Remember peeps, I wear glasses. If this donkey breaks it, I would surely go blind. So, I blocked his punch using both of my hands.
I didn't expect my hands to block the punch. But, it did. Not only it blocked the incoming attack but also it threw his big hand a few centimeters back.
Wait, what?
All of us in the room seemed to be shocked. But, then an evil idea came to my mind.
I punched Jonathan in the face with all my might.
He flew across the room and his back hit the cupboard. Well more like he lost his balance and stumbled backwards, across the room. However, the result was the same.
Andrew and the other kid, who looked like a nerd, looked at me with surprised Pikachu faces. I felt proud but, I knew if Jonathan stood up I would be sorry. So, I pushed the other two away and ran out of the room.
Let's say I didn't stop until I reached home.
