“Scram! You better pray that we don’t meet again… next time I will tag your flesh myself.”

The four delinquents picked up their s.h.i.+rts and ran hastily. These morons were so scared that despite their pain they did not dare to show mercy to their friends. Watching their charred backs I felt satisfied and disappointed at the same time.

Satisfied yeah for reasons known but disappointed because I did not get to show my work, I thought these morons will cut some slack to their friends and then I will break a few of their bones and show my creativity.

But who knew these cu*ts did not show sympathy to each other instead scorched each other in spite, maybe next time.

To think I got all worked up over these two-bit delinquents they aren’t worth my time or anger.

I kinda blamed young Wyatt for not having worthy foes, I was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with this energy ever since I had practised the abyssal bear form.

I know that it is a bit childish of me but there is only one word to describe the way I am feeling right now, ‘Invincible’.

Now I kinda get why the bad guys portrayed in all those comics and cartoons liked to destroy stuff, that’s because they could.

As I neared the school gate, suddenly a bunch of students no wannabe delinquents surrounded me.

A bunch would be an understatement nearly 2 dozen should be more accurate. Does the school have no policies for hairstyle and dress code?

Look at them each one of them was eligible to be hired as a clown no they all reminded me of the pimps from the 90’s crime shows back in my world.

They surrounded me and kept staring at me, for some reason they were grunting and spitting on the ground time and again.

Among these students, I saw the four delinquents that had just left, it seems that these rats have gathered their brethren. No matter how many rats there are, it still doesn’t change the fact that they are rats.

“It’s you guys!”

“Yes, it’s us. Now face the wrath of our Bright Lions buster call.”

With that, all the delinquents started shouting and chanting ‘Bright Lions’ ‘Bright Lions’.

Then a trio of handsome men with tall stature and blonde hair walked out of the group and said, “This guy beat you? Are you sure?”

“Third leader don’t underestimate him, he is Wyatt the one rumoured to have contracted a silver grimoire. We saw him use it.”

The three people looked at me from head to toe and the slender one of them said, “Boy, it’s your lucky day. As you have defeated the members of our Bright Lion group you have only two choices, either join our group or beg for forgiveness on your knees”

I did not bother to answer him just sneered at the slender blondie.

Surprisingly, the slender blondie did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, ” what is it gonna be?”

“I am gonna mess you guys up!” I said cracking my knuckles.

The slender blondie laughed hard and soon others followed him, “well boys looks like we got a feisty one.”

One of the bulk delinquents eyed me and said ” boss me! give me a chance, I will have him purring within a minute.”

Hearing the delinquent the crowd broke out in laughter again, the slender blondie seemed to be satisfied with his cronies response and said to me, “Wyatt, Why don’t you save us the trouble and just get on your knees and beg for forgiveness. Then maybe I will consider giving you a second chance.”

“Make Me! You dips.h.i.+t.”

Slender blondie shook his head and with a sigh, he said, “I gave you a chance but you did not cherish it. Okay boys he is all yours, give him a good time.”

Hearing him the bulky delinquent from earlier summoned his grimoire and a reddish bronze light shone over his body, he seems to have activated some kind of F-rank Body enhancement card.

“He’s mine” saying that he charged at me with high speed, wanting to subdue me with brute force.

Other delinquents eyes shone with amazement seeing the bulky figure covered in reddish bronze light charging forward and whispered how fast his movements were.

His movements may be fast for these wannabe gangsters but in my eyes, he was slow as h.e.l.l! F-rank enhancement was nothing compared to the full strength of an E-rank Abyssal Giant bear.

Seeing that he intended to tackle me taking full advantage of his huge body, I did not dodge I could but I chose not to.

As he was about to slam into me, I punched him with 40 % of my strength, breaking his advance and sending him flying into the crowd.

The babbling crowd went silent and the sound of slender blondie clapping sounded, with his eyes narrowed he said, “It seems you are indeed worthy of our Bright Lions buster call, boys get him.”

With that remaining 18 of the delinquents summoned their grimoire and bombarded me with all their long-range attack.

I did not delay and summoned my grimoire and a golden aura shaped in the form of an Abyssal Giant bear covered my body protecting me from all the attacks.

I was scratch-free and barely took any damage as F-rank attacks couldn’t break the aura surrounding me.

Thanks to their heavy firing dust covered the entire field and blocked everyone’s eyesight. I opened my soul pupil and jumped into the crowd taking them out one by one.

This was the first time I was using soul pupils in a fight and I made a huge discovery.

Soul pathways outline the boundaries of all the living or non-living forms known giving shape to them.

It’s true in the case of humans too, the soul pathways seem to get stronger with an increase in the active soul control. It can be concluded that the higher the active soul control, the stronger the soul pathways giving the host incredible strength and unbreakable defence.

No wonder as the active soul control increased the card apprentice seemed to grow stronger and more powerful. In physical prowess, there is a huge gap in each level of card apprentice.

In terms of pure physical prowess, a Card Soldier can easily overpower 10 Card Scholars just like that.

This was the basic one-o-one of card apprentices.h.i.+p, what I discovered was closely related to it.

With help of soul pupils, I could see the soul pathways and with enough concentration, I could see where these soul pathways were weak? and where they were strong?

It was as if no! I could see the weak spots of all forms, including the card apprentice.

Thanks to this with enough skills and little power I could land critical damage on these morons with my every hit.

As the dust was about to settle about 11 of them had already been rendered unconscious.

Just when I was getting c.o.c.ky a figure made up of bones crawled out of the earth and pounced upon me, in desperation, I activated sprint and fled the attack range of the bone figure.

The dust settled and before I could get a clear look at the bone figure that attacked me it crawled back into the earth again.

I could barely catch a glimpse of its tail, the tail was weird it had a telson and a stinger.

Alarms went off in my mind, someone among these delinquents has a summon card. An undead summons card no less.

These undead summonses are like intelligent puppets with no fear, feelings or pain but just absolute loyalty to execute their master’s orders.

Which MF is rich enough to own such a card?!
