I Didn't Choose the Gangsta System, the Gangsta System Chose Me

Chapter 96 - Out From The Myth Academy!

Jack sat closer with a creepy look on his face. Kidrith took a peek from the room and silently watched. She spotted two men. The blonde was new to her, but the other man with a dazed look seemed familiar.

'Joren!'

She recognized. During their three-day trip in the River Styx, she has noticed that Joren's natural look was better than his strained facial expressions. She wondered how come he has that tightened expression whenever he's conscious.

While Kidrith was thinking, she noticed that the blonde man suspiciously moved closer to Joren little by little. At the same time, the latter just looked at the ceiling, enjoying whatever made him happy.

Kidrith's body hair stood up when she saw the blonde's face moving towards Joren with his lips forward…

"We're here!"

Ness barged in without knocking together with Virena when they saw a blonde with bruises all over his face.

"W-who is this monstrosity!?" she hid behind Virena.

"Jack…" Jack replied with swollen lips.

"Oh, that's your human form, huh…."

Ness said with an empty smile before going on and spotting Joren.

"Joren!" she shouted, "and, why do you have that face?"

'Handsome…' Virena internally commented, getting a little shy. She saw this face again after some time.

"I…"

Joren lazily pointed his finger up before putting it down.

That was the end of his words.

'So cool!' Virena's view was twisted.

"Hey, hey, why do you look so dumb? Are you sleeping with your eyes open?"

Ness poked Joren's cheek when Kidrith stopped her, "Please, don't bother him."

Seeing this woman, Ness put up her guard.

"Did you do something to him?"

"Nothing, but this man here almost did."

Both Ness and Virena looked at Jack, who replied.

"No comment." his voice a little muffled.

"Ugh…"

Ness' face showed disgust, immediately knowing what he tried to do. The pieces of the puzzle fit together.

"Don't assume things!"

"Eh… what a creep…." Ness continued showing disgust as Jack was obviously taking a hit.

Enjoying it, she continued.

"Desperate"

"Pervert"

…

In the end, not only was his face beaten up, Jack's insides met the same fate.

"But, seriously, what happened to him. He only has this face when he's asleep." Ness pointed out.

"I think he's in the middle of a trance." Kidrith guessed, "Maybe, he's experiencing some sort of enlightenment."

No, he's just high.

"Haha… haha…"

"Is laughing part of the enlightenment too?" Ness asked, and Kidrith just shrugged her shoulders.

"But, we gotta get going. The officers from the Level 2 might come at any second by now!"

Ness grabbed Joren and was about to carry him, but Kidrith stopped her again.

"No, let me. I'm his servant."

"It's fine, I'm his…." Ness thought deeply before saying, "number one friend!"

"Well, I'm still his servant, and my job is to serve him," Kidrith argued.

"I said it's fine!"

"I say it is not fine."

"How come did you become Joren's servant anyway? Who wants to be this guy's servant? He will do so many perverted things to you!" Ness thought she made a point but then noticed that Kidrith only blushed and looked away, "..."

Virena shakenly put up her finger, "Did you…-"

"It is true that I'm his servant. He took me from Hades." Kidrith said.

"That's impossible!"

"No, it's true. He even punched Hades three times."

Kidrith said with a slight smile. Satisfied just by remembering it. What she didn't know was that Hades got his balls almost crushed.

"Who would believe that!? Take your hands off of him!" Ness pulled Joren's cheeks. Good thing his Toughness is abnormally high.

"Wait, I'll carry him!"

Virena finally stepped in and took Joren from them. She placed Joren down and thought, how should she carry him.

Piggyback?

But his face would be right beside hers.

'No, no, no….'

Princess carry?

But his face would be near her.

'No, no, no….'

Firefighter's carry?

But he would be facing her.

'No, no, no….'

Virena depressingly realized how shallow a man should have to make her fluster like this.

"I'm too sinful…" she walked up.

"Eh? What happened!? Virena!?" Ness asked, but Virena couldn't hear her.

Exiting the front door, Virena just noticed that a small kid was kneeling at the corner of the front yard.

"You…"

"Yes?" Monstein looked at Virena.

"Can you carry Joren?"

"..." Monstein raised an eyebrow, but remembering Joren's words, he stood up and obediently replied, "Yes, Ma'am!"

"???"

…

"Then, is everyone ready!?" Ness pointed her finger up in Joren's front yard.

"Yes, Principal!" only Virena replied while Kidrith stayed silent, and Jack couldn't care.

Fortunately, there were no other Abnormals there as they were taking their mandatory classes on the higher floors.

"No, Virena, just call me Ness. I'm no longer the Principal!" Ness declared, raising her finger up high until she noticed a man standing behind her.

"Are you Principal Ness?" a man in a suit whose face strangely resembles a lion asked. Even his hair is like that of a lion's mane.

Seeing him, Ness began to sweat as her face went pale. Jack and Virena, too, recognized this man.

"It's Officer Manti, run!"

Ness immediately sprinted off.

"Oi, wait!" the man who resembles a lion, Officer Manti, was caught off-guard as the rest of them followed Ness.

"What is that guy doing here!?" Jack desperately ran. Almost all of them were running faster than an average car could go.

Kidrith had to carry Monstein as he was getting slow.

Realizing these people were making their escape, bat wings came out of Officer Manti's back. With one flap, a strong surge of wind shattered the nearby windows.

"Jack, is that you!?"

"Stop following us, or I'll suck your dick!"

Jack threatened, making the Manti slow down before it speeds up again.

"That's a risk I'll take for capturing you all! Come, suck my dick!"

"There are women here, mind you!"

Virena angrily growled while Ness innocently wondered why Virena was covering her ear.

"Damn it, I forgot Manti is gay too!"

Jack regretfully said.

"I'm not gay! I'm open-minded!"

"Quick, we have to get to the gate and leave Jack behind!"

Ness shouted.

"What!?"

"I mean, Officer Manti!"

"I think… he'll catch up." Kidrith calmly said. Her strength was slightly returning, so outrunning them all would be a piece of cake, but she's just going with their pace since she doesn't know their destination herself.

"Don't worry, I got this!"

"Principal!"

Ness stopped and faced Manti. She stretched her arms before pulling them behind for an attack.

"Face my serious punch…."

"Principal Ness, to resort to violence would give you more violations!"

"... I don't care!"

BOOM!*

Ness gave Officer Manti a normal slap, but the force behind it created strong fluctuations in the air and sent the lion-faced officer flying away.

"As I said, I'm no longer the Principal!" Ness said while sticking out her tongue.

"You could've done that earlier! I almost gave him a blow-"

Virena gave Jack a dropkick to silence him. Eventually, they reached the gate when they heard a roar coming from where Officer Manti was sent with Ness' slap.

A giant lion with bat wings and scorpion as its tail rose up, roaring.

"Let's escape while he's busy roaring!"

Ness hurriedly went into the gate with them.

"Ah, Jack, why are you here?"

"Stop excluding me, you brat!"

"I was just asking!"

"Umm… what button should I push?" Kidrith asked to which Virena replied.

"We're going out of the Myth Academy, so push the G button."

Pip*

Joren pushed the button with the number 9 on it.

"..." Virena, Ness, and Jack had their eyes widened.

"Joren, why did you push the highest level!?"

"Eh? Sorry, I thought I heard V."

"What's that got to do with the number 9?!"

"It looks like the letter S."

"I thought you heard the letter V and it does not look like the letter S!?"

"It does," Kidrith tried to support Joren, "if you… squint hard enough…" she squinted as she looked at the number 9.

While they were shouting at each other, the door opened, and a muscular old man with white hair wearing ancient-fashioned white clothing appeared.

"Hm? Who are you, people!? But first, let me in!"

The old man immediately entered with none to resist. At the same time, a voice echoed from behind the temple-like structure.

"ZEUS, IF I CATCH YOU TRYING TO ESCAPE AGAIN, I'LL DEFINITELY CUT IT THIS TIME!!"

"Oh no, she found out quicker this time!" the old man desperately pushed the G button.

Everyone there, including Kidrith, had their face ghastly paled. Only Monstein didn't know who this man was when he felt lighter.

"So, you're Zeus?"

"Oh, aha, yes!" Zeus proudly said, "Thanks for your great timing! If not for you, this thing will not open for me! Also… you women are gorgeo-"

Bam*

Zeus didn't see a fist coming towards his face as he was blown out of the elevator. Stunned by what just happened, Joren went out of the elevator with his mind still floating.

"If you… try to do something to Scarlett, I'll fuckin-"

But when the elevator door was about to close, all of them pulled Joren in.

"Motherfucker, my name's Joren Vierei, and I'm gonna beat yo as-..."

The door then closed.

Within the elevator, all of them silently stared at Joren, terrified at what he had just done. He then wobbled before Monstein caught him.

"I'll carry him again," he said as if nothing had happened.
