The Ancient Genes
Chapter 14 - Exchange

Suddenly a heavy pressure enveloped the cafeteria.

Max's knees started to bent. he felt sweat dripping down his forehead.

Turning around, he found a tall and handsome guy walking towards them along with a bunch of students following him.

'Shit!'

'I forgot about him.'

'What do I do?'

How can he do anything, when he was having trouble to even stand properly.

he saw the guy approach and stand in front of his lackeys before speaking.

" Now..Now, May I know what my friends did to anger you brother ".

Max heard James speak as a sadness covered his features.

He literally couldn't believe his eyes and ears.

That guy was Acting.

But that wasn't enough to fool him.

"Look it's him, James "

"OMG, he is so handsome "

"Finally, someone is here "

"Yeah, now these trouble makers will have their asses kicked ".

But the voices Max heard confirmed one thing.

He was the hero here and they were the villain.

That guy was a beast in human skin.

…

'This bastard is pissing me off from the very first day. Looking at him, reminds me of that guy. Today, I will beat the crap out of him and drag his true face out in front of everyone.' Wilson was now really pissed off.

With that in mind, he stepped forward while speaking.

"James, I don't want to hear anymore of your shit ".

"And your stupid acting might fool this bunch of bastards, but not me ".

He was never a person who was afraid of anything.

Wilson released his aura to push back the pressure released by James.

Max saw a terrifying pressure being released by Wilson.

As he moved forward, Max could hear the sizzling sound of electric current around him.

Seeing the situation, all the students started to move away from them.

He too along with fatty got away from the center of commotion.

James disdained at their actions, 'These guys are so useless. They can't even handle a worm like him. Today, I must make an example out of him. Even if it reveals a bit of my power, this bastard ruined my plan after all.

Max gave them a look before turning toward Wilson,Seeing James walking towards him, he started circulating the mana within his body.

Seeing Wilson approach James, he felt nervous.

Obviously, he didn't want Wilson to get hurt.

After all, How many people are there, who would stand for the weak.

This alone proves that he is a good guy.

Probably.

'Now, I understand the meaning behind Axle's word.'

'He was a good guy. But if he gets pissed, things take a turn and it becomes worse depending upon the guy standing against him.'

As Max was busy in his thoughts, Wilson hastened his steps and he could see lightning covering his hands.

Within a second, he covered the distance between him and James.

Without waiting for any moment, he swung his hand in an upward direction, going for an uppercut.

Bang!

...

But, the next scene left his jaw hanging.

He saw Wilson's punch being blocked by James with his bare hands, before it could reach his chin.

A silence enveloped the cafeteria.

He couldn't help but feel despair.

But, at that moment, he heard a sound in the silent hall.

Crunch!

Hearing the sound, everyone turned to look towards it.

Following the sound, he found a person with short purple hairs and a pretty face munching on his snacks.

He couldn't help but feel his face was a bit familiar.

As he tried to remember the guy, he heard James' voice.

"Sorry, I remember having some urgent work ".

With that, he released Wilson's hand and walked toward the exit.

As he passed the purple hair guy, he paused and spoke.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. I thought you didn't like this place ".

And the purple hair guy did not respond.

But that didn't affect James' face even a bit and he continued.

"I don't have much time today or I would love to have a chat ".

"So, I will be leaving, until we meet again, Norek Blaze ".

And he left the cafeteria, while Mark remembered that guy's identity.

Norek Blaze.

The one considered to be the strongest out of the 4 tyrants.

Thank God

He was here, otherwise Wils-

'Yeah, I forgot about him.'

Max turned to replace him, but couldn't locate him.

So, he asked the fatty beside him and he replied.

"He just walked out of the cafeteria."

…

"Boss, why didn't you teach that bastard a lesson." Stain said in frustration.

But, James gave him a look and he shut his mouth.

Since, when did he dare to question James.

"Regarding Wilson, I will deal with him very soon. I could have done it right now too. But, I don't want that guy to know about my power. And besides, I too don't know anything about him."

"And Dad warned me too. Deal with him only when you have a 100% chance. I will let these bastards live this year. But, I can't say the same for next year." A smile appears on James's face on the very thought of my plan.

…

After splitting up with fatty, Max walked towards his classroom.

Suddenly, he saw a red hair guy, walking in the distance and turning around the corner of the hallway.

"Wilson."

Max rushed after him, after all, he didn't get a chance to thank him.

'If he didn't interfere, who knows what would have happened.'

'I might have been lying right next to the fatty.'

'And to be frank, I didn't want to cause any trouble on the very first day.'

But, he was being happy too early, because he forgot about his real enemy.

His Luck.

As he turned around the corner in a rush, darkness enveloped his eyes and he felt a soft but sturdy impact.

he tumbled down the floor and felt his head hitting something soft and a sweet scent fill his nose.

He opened his eyes to replace a other worldly beauty beneath him in black dress staring right at him.

Blonde hair, white skin and her eyes....

He knew those eyes. They were very familiar to him.

But he couldn't remember where he saw them.

"You Pervert! How long are you planning to stay on."

"Get off of Elly ".

Max heard a sweet voice.

Turning around, he was stunned to see another beauty.

Black hair, jade like skin and her eyes...

He knew those eyes too. They were the eyes filled with the intention to kill.

Looking at both the girls, he knew he was done for.

Looked like his bad day was just beginning.

BAM!

he felt a heavy impact on his side, which sent him flying 3 feet into the air.

Crash!

Max tumbled down the floor and an aching pain spread throughout his body.

Damn it.

It hurts.

He just hoped he would still be in a single piece by the time this ends.

As he struggled to get back at his feet, he heard some footsteps getting closer to him.
