Chapter 116 Ch 114: You Dare To [Pt2]

Yohan had never been bullied in school before so it was a new experience for him. He had often read about these in the books before.

From what he had read and heard, having a taller, bulkier, and more powerful person loom over you was supposed to make you feel terrified. Oftentimes, the stories made these bullies appear larger than life itself.

But now that Yohan had been pushed into this situation, he could not help but marvel at how ridiculousness of his situation.

To him, these bullies felt nothing like the threat they were supposed to. Thier bulky figure and awkwardness made them not even come close to anything intimidating. They looked more like they were imitating having any real authority.

"Hey man, I know you are new but don't get any ideas. You should stay away from your deskmate if you know what is good for your health."

Yohan was a little surprised to hear a warning being issued to her regarding his deskmate but had had a feeling that he should have expected it to happen at some point.

After all, trouble would follow Yohan if he continued to get involved with powerful people. It was an unwritten rule at this point and also something Yohan had braced himself for. What he did not like about his situation was the fact that he had to get harassed because of someone he spoke once to.

"So, little man. I hope our warning got through to you fair and square. Remember, we are doing all this for your safety and nothing else."

The bully was too close to Yohan's face now. It would not be too much to say that he was trying his best to make Yohan listen to him. But the more he tried to make himself look scary, the more ridiculous he looked in Yohan's eyes.

He was easily able to shive the hand that had been placed on his shoulder and look the taller man in the eye.

"Listen, man, I get what you are trying to say. Since you are so worried about me, how can I refuse your goodwill and go against your wishes? I will stay away from Liza from now on."

Yohan did not use Liza's name to indicate that he was close to her. And he watched as his bully got more and more triggered by his reaction.

It was too easy for Yohan to pat his bully on the back and then step away from him. He flinched as Yohan let him go. There would be a massive bruise on the area where Yohan had touched him.

Yohan had tried to control his strength but he had ended up using a little too much of it anyway.

"Ah, are you alright there? I did not hurt you, did I?"

Yohan asked the bully and the man instantly took a step back from Yohan. Fear shined clearly in his eyes as he watched Yohan walk slowly toward him. The bully quickly looked around for a way to escape but it was seemingly difficult.

After all, Yohan had made sure his aura covered the bully from head to toe.

"Hey man, are you alright? You are shaking."

One of the bully's accomplices stepped ahead and snapped his hand in front of the bully. Surprise was evident on his face as he watched his friend shake where he stood.

That finally snapped the bully out of his trance and he quickly gave Yohan the stinky eye. The bully's lips were pulled back in displeasure and he snarled in Yohan's direction.

If looks could kill then Yohan would be buried 6 feet under right about then.

"You will regret angering me. Watch your back from today onwards because you turned down the friendship of 'Marvis the great.'"

The bully looked proud of his introduction, not noticing how the others either cringed at his way of address or stepped away from him in fear. And that was how Yohan knew that this child was no threat to him.

Still, this bully seemed to have a following that could come in handy later on. So Yohan decided to keep an eye on him for the sake of gathering information.

"H-Hey man, are you alright? Don't mind Marvin and his gang. He's just a sore loser and likes to vent to the passerby. Don't let him get to you."

Yohan made a show of dusting off his pants but the words he heard suddenly interested him. From what he had felt from Marvin, he was no pushover. And the mere fact that he had managed to gather a following meant that he had some sort of influence over the people.

Then, what made this classmate term Marvin a 'sore loser?'

"Hey, if you are going to breach this topic, then you should tell all the facts."

Another classmate of his stepped forward to take the gossip over.

Her shiny eyes reminded Yohan of the neighborhood aunties who liked to gossip in their free time. Her eyes were wide with interest as she leaned into Yohan. It felt like she was about to kiss him when she turned her head away.

Yohan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her turn away from him. He would not have to hurt her to get her away now which was always a relief.

"Anyway, what was I saying? Ah yes. The reason Marvin is a sore loser is that he lost to Liza. That guy had been losing to Liza ever since I can remember. And it is not only him who had been losing to Liza. People here get upset over being beaten by someone younger than them so they don't talk nice things about Liza and-"

Yohan felt the same pricky sensation he had felt in the class and he instantly looked up toward the place where that look was coming from.

Brown hair and grey eyes looked back at him from a fairly attractive face. But those eyes did nothing to hide the darkness beneath their depths.

In terms of impactful, this glare was much more menacing than any other Yohan had faced before. Had he not been a demon and someone who had regularly faced death, he would have shivered after being glared at like this.

The temperature of the room had dropped considerably when Liza had entered but it was only now that the students had started to notice her.

"Can I know what all of you are talking about? The teacher asked me to get you all since the class already started some time ago."

Everyone except Yohan shivered at the cold tone used by Liza. Her sharp eyes did not miss Yohan's lack of fear but she did not address him about it. All she did was look at Yohan with a curious look.

Yohan was in no hurry to figure her out. From what he had heard so far, Liza looked like a good future ally to have but not one that would come without risks involved. So Yohan would rather not recruit her for now.

First, he needed to know about her skill level and how much she could help him out. Once he was sure that Liza was someone worth investing his time in, Yohan could go out of his way to get her.

"L-Liza, ugh listen. We were not talking badly about you. We were just-ugh-"

The gossip girl looked caught up in the moment. Her eyes were wide in fear of the unknown and her face was red. Unknowingly, she was fanning the flame she had started herself.
