Chapter 75 – When the night is dark and the wind is high
In the empty training ground.
Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, away from the core of the conflict.
Two extraordinary beings with C-level superpowers fighting is no joke...
"Fatty, what do you mean?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses, caught by the fat neighbor by the ankle, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. "You want to pick a fight with me because of this little lackey?"
"...Say it again." The fat neighbor's body was boiling with flames, increasing the strength in his hands.
The sound of the gold-rimmed glasses man's ankle being squeezed made a cracking sound.
"Don't fight!" On the side, the girl with a long ponytail, the class monitor, reacted and quickly activated her superpower, rushing forward to separate the two. "Fighting in the academy will result in punishment!"
"In the future, stay away from Chen Yu." The fat neighbor's pure white pupils focused tightly on the gold-rimmed glasses man. "Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences."
"...," The gold-rimmed glasses man's right leg trembled slightly from the pain, and he remained silent. His cold and resentful gaze wandered between the fat neighbor and Chen Yu.
"What are you standing there for!" The class monitor anxiously pushed the glasses man. "Hurry up and leave."
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the fat neighbor, the gold-rimmed glasses man pushed up the glasses on his nose, returned to his position, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the gate of the training ground.
As he passed by Chen Yu, his footsteps paused slightly. "You're lucky today."
Chen Yu: "...I think so too."
"In the Extraordinary Realm, it relies on one's own strength. Others can't protect you forever."
Chen Yu: "I think so too."
"..." The gold-rimmed glasses man spat heavily, his gaze like a venomous snake, cold and full of resentment as he stared at Chen Yu for a while before leaving directly.
And Chen Yu silently stared at the figure's back.
His eyes flickered...
...
"Chen Yu, don't be afraid."
Twenty minutes later.
Walking on the road out of the school, the fat neighbor slapped Chen Yu's shoulder in a carefree manner. "In this academy, I still have some connections. I can easily protect you."
Chen Yu: "Thank you."
"Don't mention it! We're brothers. Didn't you stand up for me in the gym before?"
Chen Yu: "..."
As they spoke, the two walked out of the Alliance Academy gate.
They ran into several men in suits head-on.
The leader immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply to Chen Yu and the fat neighbor. "Good afternoon, gentlemen."
"What do you want?" The fat neighbor frowned as they were blocked. "Is there something?"
"Well, we were informed that after Chen Yu's classes end today, we are to assign him a residence," the leader explained.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." The fat neighbor waved his hand. "My brother is going to stay at my place today. I'm throwing a party for him!"
"This..." The leader in the suit looked at Chen Yu.
"Tomorrow," Chen Yu said expressionlessly. "I'm going to his place today."
"Understood." The suit-wearing men bowed. "Then, Chen Yu, we will come to find you tomorrow."
The suit-wearing men respectfully left.
Chen Yu and the fat neighbor continued walking and soon arrived at the off-campus parking lot, where they got into a luxurious extended business car.
"Chen Yu, we meet again," the fat neighbor's butler said as he took out two glasses of red wine from the car's refrigerator.
"Hahaha." The fat neighbor laughed carelessly and took one of the glasses of wine, handing it to Chen Yu. "We'll be seeing each other often. My brother has awakened his superpower too!"
"Really?" The butler's pupils suddenly dilated, and then he became even more respectful. "Congratulations, Chen Yu."
"When did you start drinking red wine?" Chen Yu frowned as he looked at the wine in the glass.
"We, superior people, should drink the beverages that superior people should drink." The fat neighbor skillfully and standardly shook the wine glass. "Try it, this is a genuine 1982 Lafite."
"Squeak—"
He pressed the button and opened the car window, and Chen Yu directly threw the red wine out of the car. "I can't drink it. Give me a glass of cola."
"Yes, sir." The butler smiled and nodded, taking out a glass bottle of cola from the refrigerator and handing it to Chen Yu. "Here you go."
"...Can't a wild boar eat rice bran?" The fat neighbor muttered.
"I'll smash your head with this glass!" Chen Yu almost threw the wine glass at the fat neighbor's head.
"Um...who is it?" The fat neighbor turned his head and looked at the butler. "My brother and I need to have a conversation. Please leave for a moment."
"Understood." The butler bowed and said to the driver, "Park the car."
"Squeak—"
The car stopped.
The butler, with a dignified demeanor and elegant posture, got out of the car and stood on the dusty and bustling street.
"Snap!"
A plastic bag flew towards him and slapped him in the face.
He maintained his smile and calmly took off the plastic bag, putting it in his pocket.
Inside the car.The Fat Neighbor looked again at the driver in the front row, puzzled, "Why aren't you getting off?"
Driver: "...Sir, I have to drive."
"Oh... then you drive."
The vehicle restarted.
The Fat Neighbor pulled the curtain between the front and back rows, facing Chen Yu, he began seriously, "Chen Yu, is the superpower you awakened only F-level?"
"Yes." Chen Yu nodded, taking a sip of his iced cola.
"You're really lucky to have awakened a superpower. I never dared to imagine that you could become an Extraordinary Being. But..."
The Fat Neighbor hesitated for a moment, organizing his thoughts, "F-level superpowers are indeed at the bottom of the Extraordinary circle. Your style, you can't be like before... um... rogue... um... reckless, yes! That's reckless."
"Will I get beaten?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.
"You'll get killed!" The Fat Neighbor was serious.
"Oh." Chen Yu nodded, "I see."
"But don't be discouraged." The Fat Neighbor comforted, "Being able to awaken a superpower is already a great fortune. You just need to keep a low profile in the future. With my badass level, I can still protect you."
"..."
Chen Yu didn't respond, just sipping his drink and looking out the window.
"Also, there's one more thing... I need to say."
The Fat Neighbor pulled the curtain again, making sure there was no gap between the front and back rows, then hesitated, struggled, embarrassed, scratching his head and whispering to Chen Yu, "Well... Chen Yu. Actually, I understand that the feelings between two people can take many... forms. It doesn't matter whether it's between opposite sexes or the same sex. I get it. I understand."
"What are you talking about?" Chen Yu was confused.
"Uh... what I mean is..." The Fat Neighbor was sweating, "Our meeting was a perfect coincidence! The 'friendship' between us... I'm talking about 'friendship', is solid! I've always cherished our relationship. I believe you do too. But... as humans, we sometimes have impure thoughts. It's understandable, yes, understandable..."
"What the hell are you ink staining about? What are you trying to say?"
"Don't rush! What I want to say... is that we have a good brotherly relationship, there's no need to change. Ah." The Fat Neighbor was restless, "As for me... I've always been normal in terms of sexual orientation. That is to say... that is to say... I, don't like men."
Chen Yu: "And then?"
"And then..." The Fat Neighbor glanced at Chen Yu cautiously, swallowing, "Men who become women... um. I can't really accept that..."
"Crack--"
The glass cola bottle in Chen Yu's hand suddenly cracked. But he smiled, "And then? Keep going."
"...Okay!"
The Fat Neighbor gritted his teeth, "I'll just say it! Chen Yu, I know you've always had unusual feelings for me, even going so far as to have surgery to become a woman so I could accept you. But... I only see you as a brother!"
Chen Yu: "..."
The Fat Neighbor: "..."
Chen Yu: "..."
The Fat Neighbor: "...I'm sorry, I can't accept it."
"..."
"..."
"Squeak--"
The luxury business car driving on the overpass suddenly stopped!
"Boom!"
Then, with a loud noise.
A fat man, along with the black door of the business car, were both "flung" out into the sky.
Rolling, screaming...
Drawing a beautiful and regular arc in the air, falling under the overpass.
...
What do you think?
