The Great Demon System

Chapter 283: First Day Back (2)

There, at the door was Leo, his homeroom teacher looking at him with a smile.

"Why don't you go and have a seat? Class is going to start any second now!"

"Yes sir!"

With an elegant bow, Moby strode back to his all too familiar seat at the back of the class ignoring the whispers and glances of his classmates, looking slightly out the window before looking directly ahead of him at an empty desk.

It was the desk that Abby usually sat in, seeing it empty made him feel a certain way yet he did not linger on it for long as he listened intently to what his teacher was saying.

"Good morning class! I said this the last time we were here and I'll say it again! This month has been something special, hasn't it? In all my years of teaching, nothing close to this has ever happened! I hope that it's not me who has been jinxing it to get worse every time... I would also like…"

*Awwhhh*

Moby could not help but let out a small yawn. He had heard that exact same speech or something similar so many times now that it was nothing but a waste of time. Yet, what did catch his attention was the sudden mention of his name.

"I would also like to congratulate our class's very own Moby Kane for risking his life! That along with miss Abby Reid who is sadly not with us today…"

"Thank you so much for your kind words!"

Moby stood up straight as an arrow then bowed, going back down to his seat.

"Abby Reid? What the hell? Why is he congratulating her?"

"Yeah! I know right… Fuck that bitch! Her sister and her entire family… She should have died in that execution!"

"Yeah… She knowingly worked with a shalker… It was her sister… She must have known… How do we know she's not a secret shalker herself?"

"I always found her to be an annoying, high and mighty, pretentious rich girl… I hope she never comes back…"

Moby had listened to all the gossip and whispers concerning Abby so many times and despite that, he had yet to grow numb to them as a small vein was almost seen popping out of his forehead.

"You know I can hear you right!"

Moby could not help but speak out, catching the attention of everyone around him.

"Don't get things twisted! Abby fought for this country! She had no idea about her sisters and families doing! She was sent by me personally to go spy on the Reids whom I found suspicious and ended up being captured and brainwashed in the process! She is an unsung hero and a victim of cruel fate! If I hear any more slander about her I promise to show no mercy! And if you hear others slander her, let them know what I said! That is all!"

With his arms crossed and his eyes closed, taking deep breaths, Moby ended his outburst with the entire class looking at him with sweaty, worried faces.

He tried his best not to absolutely snap, so he decided that there were many things that were better left unsaid if he wanted to keep his nice guy act— he tried to conduct himself in a way to make it seem like he was fighting for some sort of justice. He was angry but it was not worth destroying everything he built up so far. He was sure if Abby were back to normal she would have been angry at him if he were to break everything for "her sake"; not angry at him, but angry at herself...

"Thank you for clarifying that Kane. I was just about to do it myself since I know all too well about these rumours being spread,"

"Thank you so much for your understanding and kindness professor," Moby stood up and bowed once more before taking a seat.

"As much as I'd like to stay here and talk about the tragic events of this month, I still have a class to teach and I'm sure none of you would be happy to fail so let's continue with our lesson!

"We will be learning about the importance of flow and coordination is between one's body and soul! As you guys may know, we all have a separate flow of energy in our body known as our mana that is generated from our mana cores and can be found all around us th…"

******************************

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

Class finally ended and he trained his eyes of sin for nearly all of it as he needed to get stronger and had no time listening to things he already knew.

Now, it was finally time for Moby to confront his fan-club once more.

When he used his energy sense outside of his classroom door, he already sensed a mountain of students waiting for him, so he decided to take the next best exit before he confronted them somewhere more open and appropriate.

Looking to his left, he opened the glass window and felt the chilly winds blowing on his face as he jumped down from the top of the high school and landed on the ground below before any of his fellow students approached him, the same people that saw and were seemingly not deterred from that slightly uglier side of him, double jumping so he did not damage the ground.

Before he landed, he simply double jumped and looked around him in the open, yellow field. Stretching and taking a deep breath, he sat cross-legged and opened his bag to grab a hot lunch that he secretly pulled out of his inventory and began eating slowly with his eyes closed.

Just like he expected, not too long after, his keen hearing managed to pick up on the sound of an earthquake slowly but surely getting louder and louder.

"He's right there!"

"Hey! Stop pushing!"

"I just wanted to thank you in person you r-"

"ENOUGH!"

Out of the ground under him, a wall of purple energy erupted, blocking him off from the hoard of students surrounding him.

The air stood still and silent as they stared at the cold, almost demonic figure slowly stand up from amidst the purple flames and speak.

"I know you all have good intentions but I simply want to live a normal life… Don't you see how all of this attention can get overbearing? And it's not even been an entire day… I know that I possibly saved and avenged a lot of people… That was what I, and everyone else with me strived for! I was simply trying to be a good citizen and protect my planet along with my dear fellow students. I never sought out fame or attention! This is all too much for me… My whole life I have been discriminated against and mocked! My own parents were mercilessly killed by the hands of those filthy shalkers! I was weak and powerless back then! I know how it feels to hit rock-bottom! I had no hope of doing anything! But now that I have power, I will use it to fulfill what I always couldn't do! I promise to wipe out all of the shalkers! And I promise to make this school and the entire world a better place… I never want to see anyone suffer like me ever again…"

The passion and fire in Moby's eyes saying what he said was clear. The crowd could not help but be left in absolute silence, looking at him with sweating wide eyes and some even bearing a face that slowly turned into a smile.

"Now… If any of you still have anything more to say, stay here. If not, then leave and let me eat my food in peace..."

To his surprise, some of the crowd actually dispersed, which made even more people leave as well until he was left completely alone as people did not want to be the odd ones out still straggling behind.

Moby once again took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves… He couldn't believe he just said that… It was the biggest load of garbage he had ever dumped in his entire life and he still managed to say it with a straight face. He just hoped that people bought it and left him alone without thinking he was an asshole, even though most of the people there were either women in love or weak students who looked up to him.

He knew he was not admired and embraced by all and it was clear from the people hiding on the other side of that corner behind him.

It was a group of second-year students who wanted to pick a fight. He could clearly see them with his energy sense, all 5 of them.

"I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later…" He quietly mumbled to himself, shaking his head and sighing.

He had no time nor was in the mood for a full-on fight.

Waiting until they were not peaking, and making sure there was no camera in the area, he created 10 shards of purple ice floating all around, shrowding it in a thick layer of flowing demon energy which made the ice itself nearly invisible.

If it weren't for the fact that the school just got out of a crisis and he didn't want to arouse any more trouble, he would have killed them like the pile of walking XP they were, but teaching them a lesson seemed to suffice for now...

**********************************

"It's finally our chance! Let's put this kid in his place! He's no hero! He's just a lucky wanna-be! How are the chicks into a guy like that!? If we put him in his place people will understand how much of a fraud he is and we'll get all the attention instead!"

"Yeah! Adamantite medal my ass! No way someone like him survived 2 seconds against that shalker!"

"Gerald, can you give me an update on what he's doing! Take a peak!"

"... Hmmmm… He seems to be slowly walking away with his lunch box in his hands eating!"

"Really! That's perfect! Let's go!"

"...."

"Maurice!? What the hell are you doing!?"

"Boss… What's that up there…"

"Huh?! He's getting away! What's what up whe—"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*
