The Fat God System

Chapter 124: Consultation

Hugh looked around and realized that everyone was looking at him with emailed looks. He was now put in a tough position.

There was nothing she could do here, but to put Marshal down. He did not think that he would get this aggressive over something that Marshal had not even done.

He did not know whether it was because of the strange things he had been experiencing or because of his unknown hate for the invader.

As Hugh looked around, he did not notice that Marshal had leaned in closer to him and whispered in his ears.

"Hehehe, you can't do anything here. You try anything, and I will make sure that everyone in here dies with me."

Hugh could no longer hear the normal voice of Marshal, but a more sinister note of blackmail. There was not anything in the world that made him, even more, creepier than he already was.

Hugh did not know enough information about the invader that he did not know if he was bluffing or not. Realizing that he could not act rationally, he decided to back off for now.

Hugh looked at Marshal with a menacing eye for the last time, and he turned around to get away from the current spotlight.

"I will, one day, devour everyone in here. For the colony."

However, before he could even get away, Marshal whispered for the last time. Hugh knew that Marshal had only told him so that he would become scared.

However, for Hugh, it only gave him more resolve to deal with him. It did not change what he would do, but now, it became personal for him.

Even if the system did not instruct him to do this, he would gladly take this mantle of responsibility himself.

Hugh left the crowd as he bumped into the students. They all seemed to celebrate as soon as Hugh got out of earshot. There seemed to be some kind of charisma that the invader had that could enchant anybody.

Of course, Hugh was immune to this since he knows that the invader was a dangerous species from the outside. He looked around aimlessly, without anything to do.

He did not know how he would get about planning the demise of Marshal, but one thing was for sure; he needed to ask professor Kain for more information about the invaders.

With this plan in mind, Hugh quickly changed his direction towards the teacher faculty lounge. He had never been there before, but it was easy to spot.

He could see a mansion in the near distance, and he quickly distinguished it to be the faculty lounge. This was the place where the teachers and professors lounge as they passed the time before and after a class.

Students were coming in and out of the lounge, and Hugh could see that there was a pattern.

The only students that came inside the teacher's lounge were the rebellious kids and the smart kids.

The smart kids always spend their time in the faculty lounge to make sure that they would get better treatment than the others. They would ask for more extra credit to bump up their grade to an even higher one.

There were also the troublemakers who would cause a scene. Hugh could distinguish them by the rebellious look in their eyes, and the strange hairstyles that they chose for themselves.

Hugh walked in the front door and immediately realized that it looked like it was more expressive than his whole house back in the city.

Professors had a great advantage in this environment and were treated like gods. Of course, it helped that the professors could beat up everyone inside the school without any problems.

As Hugh entered the lounge, he could already feel that this was an adult place. The furniture was classy, the lights, the carpets, and the general tone of the whole building.

Everyone seemed to enjoy their day as Hugh passed by them. Some students were surrounding one passably handsome professor, students were begging their professors to reconsider their grades.

Hugh looked around the room to see where he should go. He did not know where professor Kain would be, so he decided to start at the bottom floor.

As he was walking around the mahogany table of the lounge, he suddenly bumped into someone he had met before.

Hugh and this person bumped into each other and they stepped back one step. They both looked irritated that they had bumped into each other.

"You?!"

Hugh looked up and immediately saw the shiny golden locks of Serena. He could already see the crumple in her nose as she got more and more irritated about Hugh.

"Me."

Hugh patted down his clothes and ignored her. He did not have the time to deal with her, so he decided to just forget her existence and move on with his life.

Hugh started to walk away from her as soon as possible before she would start one of her patented complaints.

However, he was quickly stopped by her standing in front of him. She had her arms crossed as she looked at him with uneven eyes.

"What? Move along."

Hugh tried to move past her, but she would just mirror his actions. Hugh did not want to get physical with her, especially not with all the professors in her, but he would do it if he got annoyed enough, which was a real possibility.

"Why are you here?"

Serena had a questioning eye as she looked at him. She raised her chin as if trying to overcome the height difference between the two of them.

If Serena was not such an annoying person, Hugh would have thought that she was cute. However, no matter how pretty she was, nothing could make her look better with a rotten core.

"It's none of your business."

Hugh tried to shoo her away, but she would not just let go. She seemed adamant in making sure to make Hugh's life more miserable.

"Are you here too for the class election?"

Serena had a cautious and accusing eye as she waited for Hugh's answer. Hugh did not expect her question so much that he was tongue-tied.

He did not even know there was a class election in this school. Even if it did, Hugh could not care less about it.

"What? In what world would I do that?!"

Hugh tried to once again slip past her, but she would just not let up. Hugh could even see some pink smoke coming off her, meaning that she was just on the brink of using her powers.

"You are coming here to see professor Kain, aren't you?"

Serena pointed at Hugh as she accused him. She did not seem to mind that she was making a scene in front of the whole faculty. Hugh was sure that this would spread through the gossip mouths of the students.

"Yeah."

Hugh gave up and decided to just answer her truthfully so that she would finally shut up.

"What else is the reason you are coming to see him?"

From Serena's perspective, it truly was the only reason to consult professor Kain.

"Your business, none of your."

Hugh was finally fed up with all of this, so he decided to use his abilities and be serious. With his eagle eyes activated, he could see every movement that Serena made.

He saw the wrinkles in her uniform. The little red rose that was pinned to her I.D. lace, and the way that her golden hair flowed through her shoulders.

Hugh was a little bit distracted, but he managed to keep it to himself. He fainted to go the right and judged where Serena would go.

With his superior vision, Hugh fainted going right, but he went left. It was an easy plan, but he knew that it would catch her off her guard. It turned out that his plan worked.

Hugh side-stepped her and he was finally able to get out from her trap. Hugh immediately went towards the hallways and just decided to look for Professor Kain's office.

He would have asked some of the faculty here, but he did not want to go back and face Serena all over again. He looked around and gone through every name in the office rooms just to find what he was looking for.

As he finally reached professor Kain's office, he saw the same blond girl waiting outside. She seemed to be very nervous as she kept ticking her hair in her ears.

After walking towards her, she finally noticed Hugh standing in the corner. They both shared an awkward look and ignored each other again.

"You know, you can just tell me that you are running for President."

Serena had her hands crossed once again as she confronted Bang. She seemed to be completely serious with her irritation with Bang.

"I know it's hard to think that there is a life outside of school politics, but I have real responsibilities."
