The Fat God System

Chapter 126: Tackle

Hugh saw Jane looking at the book he was currently reading. She was the kind of person that was studious so it was not weird for Hugh to find her here at the library.

"Ye...yeah."

Hugh tried to be calm and collected, but he was a little bit surprised that he would see someone from his class today.

"Why are you reading it?"

Jane seemed to invite herself to Hugh's table as he reached down and pulled herself a chair and sat next to him. She was a little bit too enthusiastic, which made Hugh unnerved.

"Just some research."

Hugh did not lie since he was doing some research on the invaders. However, he would not tell her about his plans to kill an invader, who was now their classmate, Marshal.

"Huh...I never pegged you to be someone who researches on his own time."

Jane continued to look at Hugh's book as if she was interested in it herself. She quickly picked up the book and parsed through the pages.

Hugh had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted. If he were to get too overprotective about the book, then she would think that Hugh was lying about something.

Also, he thought that he had read everything about the book about all there was to know about the invaders, which was not much.

"Good to see you."

Hugh quickly slipped out of the table as she was busy reading the book. Hugh was busy trying to plan out his assassination attempt to kill Marshal.

"Wait!"

Before Hug could completely get away from the table, he heard Jane reach out to him. Hugh would be rude to not answer her, so he turned around and faced her.

"Do you think something happened in the violet incident?"

Jane's question made Hugh sweat in his clothes. She seemed to be very close to figuring out that Hugh was involved in the violet incident.

Hugh tried to have a calm face as he faced her. He even tilted his head to make it seem like he did not know what she was talking about.

"Isn't that why you are reading about the invaders? You think that they infiltrated the school?"

Jane seemed to be more knowledgeable than she let on. She even knew about the dangers of the school barrier being destroyed. Hugh was genuinely surprised by the fact that she knew what she was talking about.

"Yeah. Research is just for precaution."

Hugh did not lie to her. Hugh slowly approached her table again as he stared at her face. This was the only time that Hugh had ever observed her face.

Underneath Jane's nerdy and standoffish exterior, Hugh could see a beauty that was just hiding underneath her skin. Her eyes were a beautiful green color, and there was a sense of complexity in her eyes.

"What do you know about the invaders."

Since it seemed like Jane knew about the invaders, Hugh thought that it would be a good idea to ask her about it.

"I just know that they are a parasitic group. They send out one warrior through the realms, and that is all that it takes. Once the invader gathers enough materials, it would generate a replication lair which thousands upon thousands of invaders will hatch."

Hugh had a shocked face as he listened to Jane's words. She seemed to have more information about the invaders than any of the books that he had read in this library.

"How did you know all that?"

Hugh was intrigued with Jane's seemingly all-knowing ability. Huh decided to stick with her since she had all the knowledge about the invaders.

"You know, research, like you."

Hugh nodded his head. He did not believe what she had said. There was no way that she had known all of these things about the invaders without any other source. He had scoured the whole library and he still had not found anything useful about the invaders.

"How do you exterminate them?"

Hugh quickly got to the point. That was the only thing he ever needed if he were to go against an invader.

"Why? Hahaha. Are you going on an excursion?"

Jane laughed for a little bit as she asked that question. She seemed to be very laid back, a competent contrast to the anxious Hugh.

"No. It's just for precaution."

Jane laughed for a second time as she heard Hugh's response.

"Well, an invader needs a host body. So, you need to find the host first."

Jane looked up as he seas trying to remember knowledge about the invaders.

"After that? What should I do?"

Jane once again laughed at Hugh's words. She seemed to be completely amused by the fact that Hugh took everything seriously. It made it seem like Hugh had the world on his shoulders.

"Hugh, I know you're strong, but you can't expect to kill an invader by yourself."

Hugh was a little bit offended by Jane's words. Hugh was confident with his strengths if he was able to use his transformation. It was only a little bit later that he remembered that Jane did not know this fact.

"Yeah. I'm not strong like Aric, but I still want to find out how."

Jane almost choked on her air as she heard Hugh's words. She started to laugh so hard that she had to use her hands to stop herself from laughing too hard. They were still at a library so silence was a need.

"I'm not talking about that. I know you can beat Aric in your sleep. You do not have to pretend."

Hugh was taken aback by Jane's words. Usually, none of his classmates knew that he was stronger than Aric. They would usually believe that Hugh got lucky, but they would never believe that Hugh was strong.

"What? I don't know what you're talking about."

Jane once again laughed at Hugh's words. She seemed to not believe his words, which she knew to be true.

"Whatever. To defeat an invader, you just have to get their nucleus and destroy it."

Hugh got serious as he finally heard how he would be able to defeat the invader. Through all these goose chase, he finally got some real information that would help him.

"Where is the nucleus?"

Jane heard Hugh's question and she shrugged her shoulders. For the first time, she did not seem to know the answer.

"That, I do not know. I just know they hide it in their body."

Jane sipped on her coffee that seemed to have come out of nowhere. She was hiding her time while Hugh was looking worried like his life was on the line. He was trying to figure out how he would get the nucleus of the invader.

"Never mind the nucleus, it would be hard enough to find out which host the invader chose. It would be nigh impossible since the invader gets access to the host's memories."

Jane seemed to be convinced of the fact that the hardest thing to do would be to locate the host of the invader. Of course, this was no problem for Hugh since he already knew who was the host.

"Ok."

Hugh took Jane's words to his heart as he started to formulate a plan. He quickly got up from his chair and he started to sprint out of the library.

However, he remembered something important that he had forgotten. Hugh quickly made a u-turn and returned to where he had left Jane.

"Jane, thanks."

Hugh said his thanks and he quickly bolted out of the library. He wanted to look for Marshal to finish the job once and for all.

Serena was walking down the streets of the Prestige when she came across a familiar face. She seemed to have known this person, but she could not remember his face.

The man continued to walk towards her with a confident stride. It was only after the man faced her that she remembered who he was.

"Serena! Fancy meeting you here."

Marshal opened his arms wide as he went for a hug with Serena. He was overly friendly, which Serena did not appreciate.

"Ew! Get off me!"

Serena quickly shouted as Marshal went for a hug. She involuntarily used her Desire to send out a blast of energy that threw Marshal to the wall.

Marshal flew to the opposite wall as he fell face-first into the bricks. It quickly drew the attention of the people passing by as they stopped in their tracks.

"You bitch!"

Marshal shouted towards Serena as he faces the humiliation. He took big strides as he moved closer to her. There was clear hostility in his eyes.

However, before he could get close to Serena, Hugh suddenly came into the picture. Hugh tackled Marshal to try and stop him from attacking Serena.

However, it seemed that Marshal had seen through Hugh's attack. At the very last second, Marshal dodged away, leaving Hugh to attack the air.

With Marshal dodging away, Hugh was left to tackle the air, or so he had hoped. Unfortunately, he tackled Serena instead.

They both fell to the floor, dirtying their clothes and face. Hugh opened his eyes and suddenly felt a squishy feeling in his hands. He looked down and saw that he was touching Serena's breasts.
