Chapter 105 - Come And Get Me
After a few weeks, the hype of Loki's family suddenly becoming a martial arts family finally died down. Loki was then able to help his siblings apply to change courses from the regular one to the martial arts course. During those days Loki was also trying to get better from the beating he got from his previous battle.
While he was busying himself he learned that the young man who attacked them at the end wasn't part of the Star of Dawn, in fact, there was no data on him whatsoever. It was as if he just appeared out of nowhere.
'So there's a third party involved... Could it be that hidden clan that the Elite Dragon Brigade wanted to destroy?... No, if it was that clan surely they would have some information on someone that powerful... If it's not the hidden clan, then this might be even more complicated than I thought...'
Loki shook his head as he stopped thinking about it. In his current state, he wouldn't be able to do anything even if he did find out who the perpetrators were. The priority now was to get better and strengthen himself.
...
The days passed by quickly and the day finally came when Liam and Alisa could finally return to school. In the month after the incident, the two of them had been training, and now they were officially rank one martial artists.
During that time Liam got a little bit arrogant and truly felt like he was some sort of protagonist. Seeing that Liam's ego was getting dangerously inflated Loki needed to teach him a lesson before he did something stupid. So Loki showed a bit of his skill and defeated Liam in a sparring match. After that thorough beat down Liam was no longer as cocky as he was at first.
On the other hand, despite gaining power beyond the normal person Alisa remained the same neither proud nor humble about her current situation. Still, she was delighted that she finally had the means to get show Kira's true face and prove that he was the one that instigated everything bad that happened to her older brother.
...
Liam who was walking to school was being looked at by some students. He already expected that he would gain a lot of attention and he thought he wanted it at first, but when it was truly happening he felt a little nervous.
As he was getting near the middle school he noticed two familiar people running towards him. Niel and Kenji approached him with looks of excitement on their faces.
"Man, it's been so long. We couldn't contact you and we weren't allowed to go near your house. So what happened, is it true that you became a martial artist?" Kenji spoke at a fast pace. Niel suddenly elbowed Kenji making the latter back away in pain.
"Is your brother doing alright?"
"Yeah, that guy is doing more than alright. He's actually a rank three martial artist now, and I'm a rank one martial artist." Liam proudly declared which made his two childhood friends feel even more excited.
"Sh*t man, I f*cking envy you. Damn, I also want to have inner energy. Damn it, why is it only you!" Kenji spoke while lightly punching Liam's shoulder.
"So I'm guessing it's also true that you'll be transferring to the martial arts course."
"That's true, so by next year once we're first-year high school students I'll be in the martial arts course."
"Then this will be our last year as classmates," Niel spoke a little disheartened.
"Don't say it like we will never be meeting again. We'll still be in the same school, and we'll still be friends so we can always hang out after classes." Liam responded while placing his hands over the shoulders of his two friends.
"Damn it," Kenji mumbled while rubbing his eyes. Seeing this scene shocked both Liam and Niel.
"What the f*ck, are you actually crying Kenji?"
"No, this is just sweat coming out of my eyes. I was working out a while ago, so yeah, this is just sweat." Kenji responded while wiping away the tears in his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, sweat... Who knew that you were such an emotional guy."
"Who's an emotional guy?! Like I said this is just sweat!"
"Sure, whatever you say, so how about the three of us head to the arcade after school." The three childhood friends happily headed to the school gates.
...
When Alisa got near the school gates many people were looking at her but no one got close to her. Despite the strange looks she was getting, Alisa wasn't bothered by it. Even when she was just a normal student she was already quite popular and this amount of attention was normal to her. Also for the male students, it was already hard to get close to her before, but now, after becoming a martial artist it became near impossible for most of them to even think about approaching her.
When Alisa's school friends spotted her they were going to greet her but then they stopped as they saw the person who was now standing in front of Alisa.
Kira alongside his subordinates appeared before Alisa. He then showed a shining smile at Alisa who was frowning.
"I heard the wonderful news, Alisa. Congratulations on becoming a rank one martial artist. To celebrate this amazing news, please accept this gift of mine." Kira took out a scroll and tried to give it to Alisa but she simply glared at him.
"How dare you!" One of Kira's subordinates got infuriated and was about t do something but Kira raised his hand stopping the subordinate. Unable to do anything after being given that order Kira's subordinates started gnashing their teeth in frustration.
"I guess this isn't enough to satisfy you, tell me what you want as a gift and I will give it to you."
"Hmph, as if I want to receive anything coming from you..." Alisa looked at Kira eye to eye before she continued to speak. "So now that I became a martial artist, are you frightened?" Alisa who had never fought in her entire life started to emit something similar to killing intent as she spoke.
When Kira heard what Alisa said and felt the aura she was emitting he looked at her dumbfounded. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the smile on his face grew wider and he laughed. The people watching him were surprised by his sudden laughter and wondered what he and Alisa were talking about.
Kira then emitted actual killing intent that made even his subordinates shiver in fear. Yet Alisa did not even shift her gaze away from Kira as she withstood his killing intent. This just made Kira laugh even louder as if he had heard the best joke ever.
"You really are different from the rest of them. You're becoming more and more desirable by the second." Kira then stepped forward and was a few inches away from Alisa. He then whispered in Alisa's ear.
"I can't wait to see what you can do."
"I promise I will bring you to justice," Alisa responded as he pushed Kira away.
"Well not like I did anything, but sure, come show me how you'll bring me to justice." Kira shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, he then looked at Alisa's determined eyes.
"Hmph, don't worry I will." Alisa no longer stayed as she walked past Kira and his subordinates. One of Kira's subordinates was about to stop Alisa from leaving but halted as he saw Kira glaring at him. Kira then looked at the leaving Alisa and licked his lips.
'She truly is the one I have chosen to be worthy of me.'
