Chapter 12: Kainan

  That afternoon, after school, Yang Jue and his sister Hei Yue were walking home with smiles on their faces. As they passed through a small alley, seven or eight people suddenly rushed out of the alley and dragged Yang Jue and Hei Yue inside.

  "Brother, brother...... These people are so fierce." Due to the fright, Hei Yue's small face turned pale. She tightly hugged Yang Jue's arm, her whole body trembling non-stop.

  "Don't be afraid, Hei Yue, they don't dare to do anything to us." Yang Jue comforted his sister. Immediately, Yang Jue angrily glared at the people standing in front of him and shouted: "I don't seem to recognize you! What are you going to do?!"

  "Hmm, what are we going to do? Just let it go like that for offending the Luo Ke family?" The leader, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, sneered.

  "The Rock family?" Yang Jue suddenly reacted. Were they the helpers invited by Brown*Rock and Peter*Rock, all from the Rock family? Upon closer inspection, indeed, Brown*Rock and Peter*Rock were among these eight people, and their blue and white school uniforms proved their identities: these eight people were all students of Allen International College! The oldest one was a first-year high school student at Allen International College, named Roen*Rock. The remaining seven people, in addition to Brown*Rock and Peter*Rock, included two third-year junior high school students, two second-year junior high school students, and one sixth-grade elementary school student. From their united and vigorous momentum, it was clear that they were all from the Rock family.

  In addition, Yang Jue noticed that Peter's calf was bandaged, presumably because yesterday in the small woods behind the school, Yang Jue used a move called "Counterattack" with his ice blade technique and injured Peter!

  But Peter Lock, after being bullied, probably told his cousins in the same school about this matter. After listening to Peter's description, they thought that Yang Jue might have had help behind him, otherwise how could a six-year-old first-grader possibly hurt a junior high school student?

  Since they were certain that Yang Jue had someone secretly helping him, for the time being they didn't dare to be careless. So the eight of them joined forces and planned to teach Yang Jue a lesson on his way home from school.

  "Peter, is that the elementary school first grader who made you lose your way? It's really hard to believe! This kid looks so ordinary! You actually fell into his hands, I simply can't believe it! Fortunately, this matter hasn't been spread out, otherwise, our Locke family's face would have been completely lost by Peter alone!" Ron*Locke looked up and down at Yang Jue, saying disdainfully.

  Pausing for a moment, Ron*Lock sighed and said: "A bunch of useless things! Fixing a first-grade elementary school student requires me to take action personally! What are you still doing? Beat him up for me! Give this kid a good beating! Let him know the power of the Lock family!"

  Just as everyone was about to take action, Yang Jue burst out laughing and said: "Haha! Did I hear that right? The formidable aspect of the Luo Ke family is bullying the few with the many?"

  Ron's face turned red, he thought for a moment and suddenly felt that it would be shameful to gang up on a six-year-old kid. He shouted: "Brown! You, come out and fight him! The rest of you, don't move!"

  Brown was intimidated by Yang Jue, he stood up but after being stared at fiercely by Yang Jue, he hesitated and didn't dare to make a move.

  "What are you afraid of, Brown?! With so many people watching you, you're still afraid? Coward! Get up!" Roen Lok said with a bad tone.

  "Who would have thought that at this moment Yang Jue suddenly waved his hand and said: 'No need to come one by one! Those who dare can come together!'"

  "Wow! What a big tone! What a crazy personality! Little friend, I ask you, being surrounded by so many people, aren't you really afraid?" Ron*Lock was very curious.

  "Afraid? Ha! Let me tell you, since I was born into this world, I don't even know how to write the two words 'afraid'! In fact, not only am I not afraid, but I'm also worried for your sake!" Yang Jue sighed and looked up at the sky.

  "Oh? You're worried about us? Worried about what? I'd like to know." Ron*Lock sneered.

  "I'm worried that if things get out of hand later, can you all keep your lives intact? So, I advise you to scram quickly if you know what's good for you! Grandpa still has to hurry back home for dinner." Yang Jue said with a hint of annoyance.

  "Hah! Hahahaha...!" Ron*Lock burst out laughing like he was about to suffocate, "Heavens! A six-year-old elementary school student, actually daring to tell me to scram? This is the most hilarious joke I've ever heard in this world so far! Kid, I changed my mind! Brown, step back, I'll personally teach him a lesson! However..."

  "Stop saying 'but'! If you're going to do it, then hurry up! Stop dawdling like a woman!" Yang Jue was getting very impatient.

  Hearing this, Ron*Lock was thoroughly enraged. "You're looking for death!" Next, he made his move.

  "Fourth-tier lightning system magic — Lightning Ball Technique!" Along with the incantation, a ball of electricity began to form in Ron*Lock's palm.

  "Zzt!" The electric orb formed and let out a piercing sound.

  Yang Jue's eyes widened even further. He didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant, and it turned out that he was actually a Thunder System magician! To think that among all the elemental magics, only Light System and Dark System magic were excluded, but Thunder System magic had the strongest destructive power, almost ignoring all physical defenses.

  However, Yang Jue was only surprised for a moment, and then he let out a cold snort, still not dodging or flinching, nor did he show any signs of counterattacking or defending.

  "Using a lightning attribute magic on a six-year-old kid! It's really somewhat unbearable!" Ron*Lock thought to himself, but still decided to take action.

  "Die, you little brat!" Ronn Lok bellowed, hurling the electric orb at Yang Jue.

  However, just as everyone thought Yang Jue was going to die at the hands of Ron Lok, a larger spherical lightning bolt suddenly appeared out of nowhere and intercepted the small electric ball thrown by Ron Lok. It then began to wildly revolve around Ron Lok and his companions. Its speed was so fast that it left Ron Lok and his companions unable to react, only feeling a flash before their eyes, followed by an electric current coursing through their entire body, rendering them numb in an instant.

  "Electric Pulse!"

  Another low and muffled roar was heard, as if the main god had declared death. Ron*Lock and others only felt a strong electric current bringing severe pain all over their bodies, until their brains were paralyzed and then lost consciousness.

  ……

  Seeing Ron and others of the Lock family lying motionless on the ground like corpses, Yang Jue's mouth corners revealed a smile.

  "I've been warning you to get out of here quickly, but you didn't listen and had to experience the feeling of being electrocuted! How was it? Not pleasant, huh? Haha." Yang Jue continued, "Come out, Electric Boy! I know it was you who saved us!"

  "Listen, I'm not called Electric Waste! You dare to call me that again?" Behind Yang Jue, a person who looked very much like a mouse appeared and was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Jue's title.

  "Little mouse, don't be angry. I know you're called Ke Nan, just teasing you." Yang Jue turned around and smiled as he stroked Ke Nan's ear. "Hey, your ears are quite cute! A bit like a kitten's ears! Quickly tell me, is your mom a cat or a mouse?" Yang Jue asked playfully.

  "Get out!"

  The person who appeared was none other than Kainan, the fierce and violent one! From the moment she showed up at Eren International Academy and walked into the first-year magic class as a classmate, Yang Jue knew that she had come to protect him personally. And just now, it was precisely because he sensed Kainan's presence nearby, and with her around, he would definitely be safe, that Yang Jue dared to be so fearless.
