1 SYSTEM AWAKENING (2/2)
”Follow us, Eric has got something to tell you.”
The smirk on his face was definitely a bad presage, Sam had once tried to ignore them and leave but these guys didn't care about the other students or teachers and just pulled him forcefully to an empty place. They walked amongst the crowd until they arrived to an empty parking lot in the back of the campus
”Sam I've seen you looking at Sophia during class, I advise you to forget about her or else I'll break both your legs”
Eric was obviously finding excuses to mess with him which made Sam angry, the more he looked at these guys faces the angrier he was. Sam has forgotten about the girl long ago but these guys didn't drop it and kept pestering him, he threw away all the plans he had made to get revenge on them and threw himself at the guy on the right, head low he ran into him and pushed with all his strength. The guy was pushed onto a car behind him and the pain made him groan, Eric and his other friend recovered from the shock as they didn't expect him to attack suddenly and they ran toward him while throwing punches toward his face when he was going to get hit by both fists, he realized that he was done for so he threw caution away and charged with his shoulder into Eric. Eric lost his balance and staggered a few steps back, meanwhile the other friend's punch landed on Sam's stomach, he groaned but didn't lose time and threw his elbow at the other guy's mouth. That hit made him bleed and lose a few teeth, when Sam wanted to attack Eric and end this a ferocious punch hit him on the neck from behind and made his vision blur.
When Sam woke up he was lying on the ground, every part of his body was hurting. He tried to get up to check his body but the pain was too much. The three bullies weren't there anymore.
It was still the day so at least he didn't miss the time to pick up his little sister. After a few minutes trying to recover, Sam found the strength to stand up and walked out of the campus. Everywhere he went people were looked at him with surprise as he was covered in bruises and blood, after enduring long enough he made it home and started healing himself. He had to make a good job and leave no traces to not worry Em.
As soon as he was done healing himself he heard a voice near him, he looked at the TV but it was turned off. The voice became clearer and clearer and then he heard a feminine voice with a robotic feeling
[System awakening - Master required to make a choice :
- Level one boxing book.
- Level one dancing book.
Please make your choice.
The system will go back to sleep after the choice is done as it didn't store enough energy, it will wake back up when needed.]
Sam was surprised and was trying to guess where the voice came from when appeared a HUD similar to one in a video game with the choices possible and a button assigned to each one. Even though it was weird and unbelievable, Sam pointed his finger and clicked on the boxing book. He didn't dare believe it was real but the thing appeared in front of him, it was either real and he had a chance to take his revenge on the bullies or he had become crazy because of the hit behind his head.
A book started to materialize in the air in front of him and fell to the ground when it was complete. Sam picked it up and opened to the first page, a light escaped from inside the book and went into his eyes. The light didn't hurt him but it was blinding so he closed his eyes, when he opened them again the book wasn't there anymore.
At this moment Sam was really asking himself if he had went insane and if he should see a doctor when a kid of information entered his mind, it felt just like he had known it for a long time as it was imprinted in his mind. Sam stood up and threw a few jabs in the air, a whooshing sound could be heard as each of his fists cut through the air he felt like he was Takamura from Hajime no Ippo, an anime he had watched when he was young.
He clenched his fists and a weird smile appeared on his lips, he thought ' I'm going to take my revenge soon, just wait for me I'll make you pay 10 times what you have done to me... but first I must bring Em' home, it'll be time to get revenge soon '.
