Chapter 56: Quest
"...."
Everyone blinked in shock, staring at Aaron in horror.
'Why did you hate your step cousins so much? If this guy wasn't a warrior class with high defense, that Kick would have destroyed his rib cage.'
Protean's voice sounded in his head.
'He should be happy because I reduced the strength in that kick.' Aaron answered.
'Oh? Why didn't you use your full strength then? I thought you did...'
Protean's voice was filled with disappointment.
'Wait, You wanted me to use my full strength?'
'Yeah, then it'll be fun. Highest he'll die from suffocation.'
"...."
Aaron was stunned: 'Now I know why we are good together.'
Before the two, twenty students, both boys and girls rushed out from the surrounding buildings.
"Club Leader!!"
They all rushed to Nicolas, helping him up from the ground.
"You!!" Nicolas wiped the blood off his lips, glaring daggers at Aaron.
"Teach this fool a lesson!!" He yelled.
"L-Leader, I hope you have a plan to fight them a-all." Mott asked anxiously, he was already trembling.
"I despise weakness, so if you want my help or stay alive by my side, You need to cultivate a strong heart."
Aaron said in a flat tone, stunning Mott in place.
"Attack!!"
"Let's show these weaklings what the members of the Saint club are capable of!!"
All the members around Nicolas charged towards Aaron and Mott.
BAM!!
THUD!!
BAM!!
BANG!!
THUD!!
The sound of their knees touching the ground rung out continuously as one at a time, they all fell on their Knees, not even getting close to Aaron.
"Is this how weak your members are?" Aaron turned his head to Nicolas who stood horrified, staring at his kneeling members.
"What pressure is this? I can't move."
"Same! Hell! This boy isn't simple!"
"What are we going to do?"
"Nothing! Because we can't move!"
"Where are the teachers and guardians?"
Sweat appeared on the students' body, socking their uniform wet.
"Help us, club leader!!"
They all turned to Nicolas, pleading to him.
"Let them go!!"
Nicolas yelled at Aaron, who smirked at him:
"I should let them go? What's in for me?"
Aaron folded his hands behind his back... Seeing Nicolas'd stunned expression, he sighed deeply.
"You stopped us outside, we have been standing under this hot sun for more than 3 hours now, you have to compensate us."
"Three Hours?!"
Everyone was stunned, they haven't even been here for 15 minutes, and Aaron is stating 3 hours.
"Come on."
"Fine then! Name your price." Nicolas said with a dark expression.
"Sorry, I don't need money... I have so much of it that I don't know what to use it for."
"So much of it?" Mott was stunned. 'Is that how rich Jack is... Only a Royalty can have sure wealth... Wait... Is Jack a Prince?' Mott's eyes widened in his deduction.
"Then what do you want?!"
"In fact, I need two things; first: You all must show respect to the Tiger Club, No bullying or anything of that sort... If I find out, you won't like the result... Second: Every week, You'll have to send valuable resources to the Tiger club... If you can do this, I'll let them go."
Nicolas was silent, weighing his options... He's the eldest grandson of the elves' kingdom, although born by the second prince, he's holder than Harold... And more than half of his members has noble bloods in them, somewhere even Sons and daughters of dukes... Getting to show respect to some Commoners is something they can't do...
Like that wasn't enough, they'll still have to send their resources to them every week... They'll become a laughingstock in the academy, and the Orc Club will find the opportunity to take their position as the second.
'Shit!!'
He cussed inwardly.
"Just accept it, Club leader!!"
"We are with you!"
"Yes!"
Hearing his members, he sighed: 'This all my fault.'
With gritted teeth he opened his mouth; "Ok, We accept! Can you let them go now?"
Aaron nodded, while all the students fell on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Good." Aaron nodded.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
All the students turned their heads to the councils' hall, seeing Kara and the elders walking outside with the Dean, Mariel, guardians, and some teachers.
"What a wonderful show." Kara said with a beautiful smile on her face.
"I hope you are entertained?"
"Oh, I am." Kara smiled, with a flick of her wrist, A piece of paper flew towards Aaron, who caught it.
He slowly opened the paper, and a frown appeared on his face.
"You are the strongest kid... Well... You are Stronger than some of the teachers in our academy, and that Note is a quest, Complete it, and you'll be promoted into the fourth guardian... I know you can do it... Oh, you have one week to complete it."
With that said, she walked back inside with her group, while the students slowly got up from the ground, their eyes filled with killing intent.
They were powerless because the academy rules is against bringing guards in school, but in the city, They'll show Aaron and the members of the Tiger Club they aren't to be mess with.
Mott who was observing them surely notice their hostile gazes, he turned to Aaron, whose gaze was fixed on the note.
[Track and Kill The Female Vampire, and being any evidence of you accomplishing this to me... You have one week.]
'This bitch, She's still thinking on how to kill that Vampire.'
Protean hissed.
'Why are you so angry, she just gave us the good ahead.'
Aaron smirked, he burnt the note and turned to the Anxious Mott.
"What is it?"
"I don't think they'll follow your order, They might even harm us if you aren't around."
Aaron turned to the students, and said, Making sure to increase his voice with his Sid energy.
"Anyone who harm even a hair of the Tiger club members, I'll show you want a shaved pig looks like."
All the students felt a shiver ran down their spine hearing his indirect threat.
