The Fat God System

Chapter 120: Revenge

Hugh wanted to stop Aric at all costs because he still felt a little bit guilty for killing him. However, he knew how much Aric hatred his father. Even he, a person who had never even met Maverick, hated him.

"This is a stupid plan."

Aric heard Hugh's reasoning, and it did not help him one bit. He still wanted to get out of this school and search for Maverick even if he had to scour the whole world.

"It is none of your business."

Aric snarled at Hugh and stormed out of the hallway. His anger seemed to get the best of him as he had a tunnel vision in killing Mavericks

Hugh could not do anything but watch as Aric stoned out of the hallway. By the end, he could only hear fading footsteps that soon turned into silence.

He knew that Aric was right; he did not have any business interfering with Aric's life. However, there was this sort of resonance inside him that seemed to agree with Aric's plan.

Hugh shook his head as he shrugged himself off. He cleaned himself up and arranged his clothes to make them presentable.

He still did not know why he had not been affected by Aric's black fire. He did not even know how Aric got the black fire in the first place, or how he was able to defy the laws of death and come back a second time.

Hugh could only see another dead end for Aric at this rate. He had Aric's memories, so he knew how powerful Maverick was. If Aric confronted him right now, he would have next to no chance.

Aric did not even know himself, much more a definitive plan to attack Maverick. All his actions right now were being solely powered by his hatred.

Seeing that he could not persuade Aric to hold off his revenge plan, Hugh had no choice but to return to the school.

He and Aric had both been gone for a while, and he had missed the first class. With that sense of urgency, he walked back towards the classroom at a brisk pace.

As he got closer to the classroom, he could hear the muffled sounds of the classroom's sense of liveliness. Judging from the chaos that occurred there, it seemed that the teacher has still not returned.

As soon as Hugh opened the door to the classroom, he was proven correct. Everyone was loitering around in the classroom without any laws. The front and center of the class were missing, meaning that no teacher would put everyone in place.

As everyone heard the door squeak, they all turned their attention towards the man who had walked in. They had all thought that professor Kain had returned, so they quickly shut their mouths.

As soon as they realized that it was only Hugh that returned, they quickly turned back to talking amongst themselves.

However, some of them tried to peek past Hugh's large body to see if Aric was with him. They had all seen Aric and Hugh go out together, presumably for another fight.

Seeing that there was not a scratch in Hugh's body, and with Aric missing in the frame, it was easy to guess what had happened.

However, not all of them believed that Hugh could defeat Aric without any scratch on him. Only a few others knew that it was an alarming possibility.

"Where is Aric?"

Chip, a member of Aric's inner circle, quickly walked towards Hugh. Chop tried to be threatening with his voice, but his true feelings of insecurity showed when his voice cracked in the middle of his speech.

Chip knew that he could not underestimate Hugh, so he did not try to be physical with him.

"He left."

Hugh only said those words because they were the truth. Of course, there was more to the story, but he would never tell them to Chip or anybody else since it was none of their businesses.

Even if Hugh tried to be truthful, they would not believe him. The truth was that Hugh killed Aric, but Aric returned to life who had now a bloodlust towards his psychopathic father. There was no way that they would believe him.

Hugh quickly returned to his seat and ignored Chip and his friends. He had no interest in entertaining them right now, so he went back to his seat, minding his own business.

Hugh put his head own on the desk and closed his eyes. He let the time pass as he waited for the end of school. Even after waiting for an hour, professor Kain still had not returned.

Some of the students started to leave the classroom seeing that professor Kain would not return for a little while longer, effectively canceling their school day.

"What are you doing?!"

Hugh quickly opened his eyes as he heard that high and squeaky voice that filled his ears. He shook his head as he tried to recollect what had happened.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was staring at the blackboard. He looked around and saw that most of the students were looking at him with the curiosity and wonderment of a five-year-old child.

"I said, what are you doing?!"

Serena had her hands on her waist as she confronted Hugh on his actions. She seemed to be angry for something that Hugh had done, but Hugh had no clue about what happened.

Hugh was now confused since he only remembered putting his head down and closing his eyes. The next second, he was now standing in the middle of the classroom next to the blackboard.

He looked at his hands and saw that he was holding a pen. This was a pen that professor Kain had used, and it seemed that Hugh was using it since it was uncapped.

Hugh looked up at the blackboard and realized that there was a letter written on the blackboard. Judging from the still-fresh scent of the ink, it seemed that it was written just recently.

'H'

'H' was the letter written on the bird. Hugh did not know what it meant, but he also did not care. He only wanted to know how he got here without any recollection of what happened.

This was not the first time that this had happened. Since he had killed Aric and acquired his powers, he had started to experience weird events that he could not explain.

He would close his eyes, and the next moment, he would be at another place. It also felt like he had lost time even though for him, only a second had passed.

"Hello? Are you stupid?"

Serena was starting to get annoyed that Hugh had ignored her. She stomped her feet on the ground as a sign of intimidation, but it did not work on Hugh.

"What?!"

Hugh was trying to figure out what happened, but Serena was distracting him. He turned his head over to her and gave her a stinky face, signaling his displeasure over her distraction.

"Why are you writing on the blackboard? That is only for the professor."

Serena walked over next to Hugh and got the eraser on the desk. Then, she started to erase what Hugh had seemingly written as if the blackboard was a sacred place.

"Wait! Did I write this?"

Hugh quickly stopped her from erasing the whole thing since it seemed that he was the one who had written the 'H' letter on the blackboard.

"Who else? Do you have brain damage?"

Serena looked at Hugh like he was a crazy person. She had just seen Hugh walk over to the blackboard without saying anything and scribbled a letter on it.

Now, Hugh was saying that he did not even remember doing that. It was normal for her to think of Hugh as a crazy person.

Serena kept erasing the letter on the board and Hugh was helpless to just watch. He did not know why he had written the 'H' letter since he knew that he would never do that.

*ring*

The school bell ring as Hugh was looking at the remnants of his so-called 'writing.' The school day had finally ended, but Hugh was still left wondering what had happened.

He still stared at the empty blackboard as he tried to decipher what it all meant. The classroom soon emptied and he was left all alone in the classroom.

Hugh finally got tired of looking at the whiteboard, so he walked out of the room and back to his house. Everything seemed to be a blur as he laid back on his bed and thought about everything that had happened.

From feeling guilty of killing Aric, then seeing him alive and well, to losing time in a blink, and all the other words things that he had experienced.

He had also noticed that he had not progressed in his missions. He had gotten eating missions, but it did not do him any good. He only had to wait for tomorrow to come.
