Chapter 65: Double trouble
Perhaps if Gary had been paying more attention he would have never allowed the other student to get a hit in that easily. The most surprising thing to Gary was how much it had hurt.
Endurance had always been his strongest stat and it had increased twice during his recent fights. On top of that he had the power of the moon helping him, yet that one strike had taken off nearly as much Health as Barry’s brick attack.
“I’m surprised someone like you is still standing after hitting the side like that.” The boy scoffed at Gary. “I knew you had to be someone special to just walk into our school like that!”
“Arghhh!” The high schooler got ready to show that arrogant guy the real meaning of pain, but just in the moment both of them heard screams coming from inside the school. Concentrating on his hearing, Gary located where it had come from.
For a second the student was distracted by the screams and when he turned back around to look at the foreign student in front of him, he could see Gary running his way.
“Get out of my way!”
Austin was a student who was classified as the top dog at his school. He had been fearless when he had come here, facing every person who was willing to challenge him to a fight, but then there was an incident with a certain transfer student.
Something had told him that if he was going to have a fight with that said person, that it would be too dangerous, and now for the second time in his life, wishing for a short time frame, he had the same feeling when looking towards Gary.
“This is impossible!” Austin threw out a punch aiming to hit Gary right in the face.
——
Inside the classroom, some of the students had decided to make a run for it via the doors after Billy had come through the window, while the others remained in class but now stood towards the back of the classroom.
‘Even the damn teacher ran off, not that I can blame them… Did this guy get another growth spurt since the last time I saw him?’ Innu wondered.
Billy certainly had grown in size. He had always been large for his age, but even his 4XL size clothes didn’t seem to be fitting him as parts of his belly were staking out through his shirt and more.
“What is this pig doing in our class?!” One of the students yelled. He was part of this class’ delinquent trio. Ever since he had transferred here from Eton High he had laid low. There was no reason for him to waste time fighting against a bunch of delinquents, wannabe gangsters. For him, they just weren’t on his level.
However, the reason they didn’t cause Innu any trouble was because of one guy, Austin Foster. That guy had taken reign over the whole school. The two of them had only ever met once. They had stared at each other, but eventually Innu had just shrugged and gone past him.
Austin was the only person that Innu suspected had some type of fighting skill, but challenging and potentially winning against him sounded like too much of a hassle. He had no desire to run this school, not after being betrayed by his ‘friends’ in Eton High.
‘If only my tag team partner in the match was someone like him, we might actually place highly in that tournament. Someone like him has the aura of a real leader. No idea what Kai sees in that Green Fang guy…’
While thinking these things, Innu witnessed the trio go in for an attack against Billy. The other students watching were smirking excited that they were about to witness a good beating, thinking that the pig deserved it after scaring them like this.
However, before the first student could hit him, Billy grabbed onto the incoming fist. With his free hand the oversized intruder punched his attacker’s forearm, and a devastating crack resounded throughout the classroom, followed by a blood-chilling scream.
It looked so effortless, but it was obvious to everyone that the student’s bones had broken. The other two, who were now close to Billy, had successfully landed a punch each, but they were unable to reach his head since Billy was too big.
They had aimed for his stomach instead, expecting to hit roles of fat. Instead it felt like they had just hit a massive rock, their knuckles almost bleeding while their fingers had bent into unnatural directions. Before they could do anything else, both of their heads had been grabbed by Billy. He lifted them off the ground and threw them on the floor, causing their bodies to almost bounce like rag dolls.
“Arghhh!” The students started to scream after seeing this, fearing for their lives the students who thought day by day were taking out like that and in such a manner. One of the students, seeing the door to the right, tried to make a break for it. He was a shorter boy, who had been holding his girlfriend’s hand until a second ago. He had forgotten everything about their relationship and had even pushed her to the side.
‘If I try to take her with me, it will just slow me down.’ The student thought instinctively.
However, just as some students feared, Billy wasn’t going to let just anyone leave the room and immediately blocked the only door. Standing in front of the student, he soon kicked him in the stomach, sending him to the floor and making him skid across it until he landed in the shards of broken glass.
‘What the f*ck is going on? Since when was that blob of fat this fast? What the hell did he take to not only grow bigger, stronger but also faster?’ Innu’s previous confidence started to dwindle, but he still needed to do something, aware that Billy was after him primarily.
The first thing Innu did was kick the top of a desk that was in front of him, sliding it across to Billy. The top of the wood part hit the other’s knees causing him to flinch slightly. The fighter wasted no time. He had followed straight behind the table and jumped on top of it, then, using the momentum from running in, he followed up with a knee strike.
All the students had to rub their eyes to make sure they weren’t dreaming. This kind of performance usually only happened in a movie, yet Innu had done it in one smooth motion. Their classmate’s knee connected with Billy’s face, and the force caused the other’s head to fall back a bit… but only a few inches.
Billy smiled and swung his arm out, punching Innu from the side, sending him rolling onto the floor. Innu quickly got up, but his hands immediately went to his ribs.
‘It feels like they’re broken… Sh*t, I should have listened to Kai.’ Unfortunately, his regrets came far too late. Even if he could call for help, how long would it take for them to arrive? Then there was also the question if they actually COULD do anything to help or if his gang members coming here would just doom them all.
Billy spewed out a few teeth and some blood. His nose was also bleeding, yet It didn’t look to be broken. As the blood ran down his face he licked his lips tasting it. He didn’t look to be hurt at all.
With the table in front of him, he lifted it with both hands, and there was a great big smile on his face. He walked towards Innu, ready to flatten him with such a thing.
“If he hits him with that, he’s going to kill him!” One of the students pointed out, too scared to do anything about it.
“Quick, throw whatever you have!” Another suggested.
The students started to grab their chairs and hurled it towards Billy. They then grabbed their bags, books, whatever they could find in the classroom, but even though he was a hard target to miss, it didn’t seem to be doing much. His eyes didn’t leave Innu for even a second.
Despite their good intentions nobody seemed to have realised that throwing things actually made it impossible for Innu to flee, else he would risk getting caught by something. Unlike Billy he didn’t feel confident in being able to ignore those makeshift projectiles.
“Guys stop! You’re just making it worse!” Innu tried to shout out, but the students had fallen into a panic and none of them had registered what he meant. Being the only thing they could do, the frightened teenagers continued throwing stuff.
Until, someone had entered the classroom, and immediately started to run towards Billy. A chair came flying his way, but he knocked it out of the way, only to be hit by a book, yet he continued to run.
‘Who is that crazy person?!’ Innu wondered.
Shortly after there was another student who had entered behind him, but seeing the condition of the room he stopped.
The table was in mid swing, Innu tried to move but the pain from his broken ribs was slowing him down. He knew he would be a fraction too late.
That’s when he noticed the student who was running in, wasn’t going for Billy, but instead, ran past him and had pushed Innu to the side. He himself rolled across the floor causing the table to hit the ground and break on impact from the powerful blow.
The table had only missed him by a few seconds.
“What are you doing, you could have been hit by that thing and died!” Innu complained to his saviour. “That bastard is after me, so stay out of it!”
“Yeah, that won’t work. He’s after me too.” The hooded person replied.
