Chapter 5: 5

"Hey, kiddo. It's better if you come with us." One of them authoritatively said.

Roger just looked at that guy with uncertain eyes. Also, they were starting to attract some attention because there were people starting to record the scene.

"Hey! No cameras!" Another guy exclaimed, but he wasn't in front of Roger. Rather, he was guarding the cars.

That same guy was also driving away those who had recorded the scene.

'Asshole.' Roger thought in exasperation.

"What would happen if I didn't come with you?" Roger asked, that the men in black just laughed off.

Then, suddenly, they stopped laughing in unison, just glaring at Roger afterward.

Roger sighed and tightened the bag strap.

"What would happen? We'll have to bring you by force." One said, who looked like the leader of the group.

Roger just jokingly nodded with his lips smirking.

"Go on." Roger intimidated.

With how Roger was arrogant to them, they all gritted their teeth in fury.

"Hey, kiddo. Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't enrage adults. You won't survive the consequences."

"Consequences? Or more like an annoyance? I said that I didn't want to."

'Funny. Look how their eyes looked at me with scornful gazes. Should I keep on acting like a spoiled brat?'

Roger smirked once again, and when one of them saw it, he unconsciously sent a punch to Roger that he didn't dodge.

Roger received a strong punch, which made a loud thud when the fist hit his face.

"What the...?"

The one who was punched was dumbfounded. He looked at Roger with disbelief, as if he had just witnessed something he wasn't expecting.

"Why are you still standing?"

Roger accepted the punch to see how strong their punches were. But assessing it, it looked like he needed to lower his expectations.

"What was that weak punch?" Roger mocked him.

"Weak?"

"Yes. A punch is like this."

Roger moved quickly from his position, striking the attacker in the abdomen with a counterpunch. And with the guy receiving the tremendous force Roger put into it, he moved back from the impact then fell down.

"Fucking bitch? You dare to raise a fist at us?!" The leader couldn't contain the humiliation anymore.

Just as he was looking at Roger, sensing his arrogance, the leader bent his knee, ready to punch Roger.

But with how he punched, Roger dodged it.

It was a perfect hook, but for Roger, it was sloppy as it was too slow for him.

Roger just ducked to dodge the punch, then, in an instant, made a counter uppercut from his right.

His punch connected to the jaw, creating a bone-cracking sound.

When it happened, all of the audience was silent. They all looked at Roger with surprise, as it seemed to be a joke that a high schooler had landed a punch on an adult. Much more, individuals who looked like a gang. Others were also thinking that Roger might have awakened for him to do this. More or less, they were amazed by Roger's actions.

'That was crispy.' Then Roger smirked.

The other men in black reacted. They were about to punch Roger, but someone interfered.

"Hey, stop right there!" A young man's voice suddenly resounded, grabbing everyone's attention.

It was just a young man in casual wear, but looking at him, with Roger's perception ability, he felt a strange aura from the young man.

"Stay out of this business." The men in black said to the young man, but the young man just smirked.

He then took something from his pocket, showing some-like ID to them.

They inspected the ID and were surprised to see who the young man was.

"Hey. Let's go. It's an Awaken. No good will come of it if you fight with him in public." A man inside the car said to the other men in black.

When they heard him, all of them suddenly straightened their backs and picked up the two who were unconscious.

"Tsk. Remember this kid! You're just lucky." They said then rode in their cars and drove away.

The young man looked at the cars left. When they were finally away, he turned his head to Roger, but he was not there anymore. Roger was walking away from the location of the scene with the gazes of the other students turned on him.

The young man just smiled and shook his head.

'That was an amazing kid. To think that he learned something from this crappy academy.' He then looked at the school buildings.

Meanwhile, Roger was just smirking. He was actually following the young man with his sight in the corner of his eyes.

It seems like Roger took an interest in the aura around the young man. Although he felt familiar with it, it wasn't as strong as others.

There were slight hints of the same aura from the other students, but unconditionally, the young man was strong.

Roger just walked to his house and finally took a rest. He took a bath, then opened his computer to look for updates on his surroundings, but didn't expect anything. Roger was the talk of the social media users in his area.

[Who is this snappy student. He fights like a pro!]

[A student from coma returned as a badass?]

[He was amazing! Earlier, just before the first period, he fought with five gangster underlings in the school, and he swept them altogether.]

[He is handsome! What's his name!]

[I heard it was Roger Wyles, a Skinny.]

[Was there even a Skinny who could fight like that? If he was actually a Skinny, he didn't need to awaken to fight.]

[Dumbass! That was just a fight with a human. If not for them being weak, he wouldn't win.]

Roger sighed after browsing for a while. He just clicked through every window and then finished with the internet. He then laid down on his bed and closed his eyes for a while.

'I wonder if those people I left were doing well... Even though I am confident that they can dominate the world and bring balance, I still feel like I didn't do much for their generation.'

Roger sighed as if he had been too tired all day, even though he had not.

When Roger was already done resting, he left his room and went downstairs.

"Roger, food is ready." His mom said, with a sweet smile.

Roger nodded, then sat down at the table with his family.
