Chapter 36: Fight versus older students
"Don't play dumb. You think Nightshade Society books can be stolen so easily?" said the other girl sitting next to Veronica, speaking for the first time.
Unlike the redhead who had a playful aura or Veronica who had airs of nobility and arrogance. This girl had shoulder-length black hair and an icy stare.
"Those are slanders and insults to my person. Where is the proof?" asked Luke.
"We have proof. We just have to show it to the principal. Stealing from the Nightshade Society is no light crime," said the same girl in a cold tone.
"Daphne, don't scare him," said the redhead with an amused smile.
'As if that society shit is the big deal,' Luke thought with a grimace. He watched as they desecrated the main room of the society, and the culprit stood next to them.
From the girl's expressionless tone, it seemed that they really did have a way to charge him and make him guilty. That would not be good. He doesn't want to be punished. He had to use his secret card.
"Just give the books back, kid," said another burly boy, putting his hand on Luke's shoulder and squeezing hard.
Luke looked at him, and from one second to the next the boy shot backwards until he hit a pillar. The sound of bones breaking could be heard. The boy lay on the ground, unconscious.
Luke adjusted his strength. If he used his full power as he did against the hag, he could have done more damage. Although the boy was an outcast his vitality couldn't compare to that hag.
"Only my girlfriend can touch me," Luke said, wiping his shoulder.
"Son of a bitch!" shouted Brad lunging at Luke, throwing a powerful punch. The one who had just been beaten to a pulp was his best friend.
'Your murderous intent is very high,' thought Luke, dodging the blow easily. The speed was faster than Enid's, but thanks to his observation haki dodging it was easy.
Luke threw a hook at Brad, who couldn't do anything and was hit. His head jerked back, but it wasn't enough. His werewolf stamina was too much, and Luke's physical strength was no big deal.
"Weak!" growled Brad, lunging at Luke again. However, just as he was about to hit Luke, he felt his whole body being immobilized. He couldn't move.
Luke extended his hand, pointing at Brad, who began to float. Rising higher and higher. Moving away from the ground. Until at one point he descended at full speed toward the ground.
Brad's body hit the ground at a great speed. He felt his nose break and felt a great pain in all his bones.
"F-fucking..." said Brad, trying to stand up.
Luke extended his leg back and without a second thought kicked Brad full in the face. His kicks didn't stop until Brad was unconscious.
"Werewolf endurance is admirable," Luke said, and the place went silent. His left white sneaker was left full of blood.
Snoopy looked at Luke with wide eyes and sweat on his forehead. He was amazed at Luke's strength, but more so at his brutality.
"You're crazy," Veronica said in an icy tone. She tried to be nice to a first-year student, but he ground her servants to the ground.
"Crazy, me? Don't act like a normie. We're outcasts," Luke said with a slight excited smile. This was refreshing. At his previous normie school, he couldn't have acted this way.
'Didn't he live in a normie orphanage?' they all thought, looking at Luke like he was a maniac.
'I got too excited,' thought Luke, covering his smile and returning to his normal expression. He's been smiling more lately. That's a good thing, right?
"You stole three books and attacked two students. Pray you don't get expelled," Veronica said with an icy stare.
"Yeah, yeah whatever you say. Now get those two over here," Luke said, waving his hand at the two boys standing behind the girls as bodyguards.
Both boys had cold sweat on their foreheads. They knew they were weaker than Brad and the other boy. They would have no chance of beating Luke and his powerful telekinesis. They would have to transform completely, and it's not a full moon.
"Then it will be your turn, girls. I wonder how powerful a two-aura user will be?" added Luke, feeling his excitement rising.
Being expelled? Luke wasn't worried about that issue. He knew he wouldn't be expelled. First of all, it was several tenth graders versus one-ninth grader. He could tell he did it in self-defense. And he had a very good relationship with Principal Weems.
But this was unimportant since he wouldn't have charges against him. He will blackmail Veronica with the video so she won't press charges. Before that, he will fight these arrogant students who came after him first.
Veronica stood up from her seat and stared at Luke. The two students behind her sighed in relief.
"Let's go. Get those two up. Let's go see Principal Weems," said Veronica, starting to walk. The easiest way to take care of Luke is to show his crimes to the school authority.
The two boys quickly carried the unconscious boys, making no contact with Luke, and quickly followed Veronica and the other two girls.
'What a bore,' thought Luke disappointedly.
"That's right. I stole the books," Luke said in a high tone.
Veronica paused, but only for a second. She would no longer accept Luke's apology. Now she would have him severely punished for trying to defy her.
"I remembered something very funny! While stealing the books, I witnessed a scene I never thought I'd see," Luke said with an acted laugh.
"A boy named Tommy and a girl..." added Luke with a smile, and Veronica quickly turned around with wide eyes.
"Do you know Tommy?" the redhead asked. Daphne, the expressionless girl, looked at Veronica confused. Why was she so surprised?
"Not very. I saw him committing a nasty act," replied Luke, staring at Veronica, who for the first time had a nervous expression.
'Don't tell me the night he stole the books was when Tommy and I...' thought Veronica, feeling her heart rate rise.
"A nasty act?" asked Daphne with a raised eyebrow.
"Let me show you. I recorded the whole thing," Luke said as he pulled out his cell phone and continued to stare at Veronica.
"You girls go back. Don't report to Luke. I'll take it from here," said Veronica in a different tone than usual.
"Are you okay?" asked the redhead, looking quizzically at her friend and leader, who always kept her cool except now.
"Did something happen with Tommy?" asked Daphne.
"Get back! I got this!" exclaimed Veronica, giving off an intimidating aura.
Her friends agreed without knowing what was going on and left the scene with the others.
