Chapter 61: Cafeteria incident.
Billy and his men barged into the cafeteria, their footsteps echoing as they furiously stormed towards Vic and the group. Vic immediately rose to his feet, fists clenched, and stepped forward, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"What's up, Billy?" Vic questioned with forced calmness, standing his ground in front of the looming figure.
Without uttering another word, Billy suddenly threw his right hand forward. In an instant, three metallic chairs were ripped from the floor, hurtling through the air towards Vic with tremendous speed.
Vic's eyes widened in shock. At the last second, he swerved to the side, barely avoiding the chairs as they whizzed past him by mere inches. The projectiles didn't stop, though. They barreled forward, heading straight for Silas and Angelica, who were standing behind Vic.
"Get down!" Silas shouted, pushing Angelica out of the way just in time before ducking low. The chairs flew over his head and crashed against the wall with a deafening clatter.
"What the hell, man?!" Vic yelled, his voice tinged with anger. But Billy wasn't listening. He raised his hand again, his telekinesis grabbing hold of five more chairs, which hovered in the air before zooming toward Vic and the group.
Vic's sharp eyes caught the incoming chairs, and he reacted fast. He stomped his foot on the ground, and with a thunderous crack, a makeshift wall of earth erupted between them and the projectiles.
CRASH!
The chairs slammed into the earthen barrier and fell to the floor with a clatter. Breathing heavily, Vic turned toward Angelica and the others. "You guys need to get out of here. It's clear Billy's here to vent his rage on us. Go—I'll hold him off until the staff arrives!" Vic barked, his voice leaving no room for argument.
"No. I can help," Angelica responded, her eyes blazing with determination. Purple sparks of lightning crackled around her hands, illuminating the tension in the air.
"Alright then," Vic nodded grimly, "Ivy, take Silas and David and get a staff member, now!" He shot a glance toward Ivy, his tone urgent.
Ivy nodded and darted towards the back door, David following closely behind. But Silas didn't move.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Vic demanded, bewildered when he saw Silas still standing his ground.
"I can help too," Silas replied confidently, his voice steady, not even sparing Vic a glance.
Vic's confusion deepened. "What do you mean? Billy and his crew are a bunch of Grade 2s and 4s, and you don't have any mutant ability! You're gonna get yourself—"
SWOOSH!
Before Vic could finish, the makeshift wall exploded as two gigantic ice spikes tore through it, still surging forward. Vic barely had time to react as he stomped the ground again, raising another wall that blocked the spikes at the last possible moment.
As the dust settled, Vic lowered the wall and saw Billy charging toward him with two more of his comrades, while the remaining three advanced on Angelica and Silas.
Billy reached out, and a long metallic pole flew into his hand. With a menacing grin, he pulled the pole back and swung it viciously at Vic's head.
Reacting with swift precision, Vic sidestepped, dodging the pole entirely. Before he could catch his breath, two razor-thin wind strikes whistled toward him. He slammed his foot down again, and a round slab of earth rose up. He spun on his heel and kicked the slab toward the incoming wind strikes.
The projectiles collided mid-air, but Vic's rock deflected the wind attack, sending the slab hurtling toward its source.
BAM!
The wind user, caught off guard, took the full impact of the rock and was sent crashing backward. Satisfied, Vic turned his attention back to Billy and his remaining comrades. His gaze flicked briefly to Angelica and Silas, checking on their status.
Angelica was holding her own, summoning bolts of lightning that struck one of the attackers with precision. Her speed was heightened by the electricity coursing through her, allowing her to gracefully dodge several attacks. Vic expected nothing less from a Grade 4 mutant ability user.
What surprised him, however, was Silas. Despite having no mutant abilities, Silas was still standing, untouched and unscathed. Two Grade 3 students with hardening abilities had surrounded him, their fists swinging with forceful strikes. Yet Silas effortlessly weaved and dodged each blow, never striking back.
He could have easily retaliated, but Silas knew if he defeated them outright, it would raise too many questions. His strategy was clear—wear them down, then let Vic handle them.
"Is that all you know how to do? Dance around?" one of the boys spat, his hardened fist swinging toward Silas's face with brutal force.
Silas ducked and dodged, but before he could breathe, he sensed another attack coming from behind. He dropped low and countered with a swift uppercut.
BAM!
His fist connected with the boy's jaw, snapping his head back, eyes fixed on the cafeteria ceiling. Silas followed up with another punch that sent the boy crashing to the ground.
"No, that's not all I know how to do," Silas responded coldly, shifting his gaze toward the second boy.
Vic, meanwhile, was still locked in a fierce battle with Billy and his two remaining minions. Billy's telekinetic abilities continued to hurl dangerous objects toward Vic, who responded by raising walls of earth in rapid succession, barely keeping up.
"Vic, die!" Billy bellowed, raising both his hands above his head. The air around them became heavy as every metallic chair in the cafeteria flew into the air, gathering in a swirling vortex above Billy's head.
Vic's heart raced as he stared at the massive ball of metal, sensing the immense power behind it.
"This is the end for you, Vic!" Billy screamed, ready to release his final, devastating attack.
But before Billy could strike, his eyes widened in disbelief. Silas appeared directly in front of him, as if out of nowhere. With terrifying speed, Silas grabbed Billy by the face and slammed his head into the ground with such force that the floor cracked beneath him.
