"He-He was just joking Chris, please leave him". Ray said.
Chris got furious when he heard Ray. He held Ray's head and kicked him on his guts, then punched straight to his face. Ray fell down and started bleeding.
Alex and Elaine were enjoying the scene from behind while Abby just watched.
"And who are you to order me around ya punk?" Chris said.
"He-he was just joking"
Chris got furious again and kicked Ray multiple times.
"Do you think u slipped away from me this morning huh? I'll wreck you until you won't be able to attend classes"
Until this point Chris was kicking ray harshly, suddenly Ray's hand moved on his one and blocked Chri's kick, he held his leg with his right hand laying on the road, the bangs of Ray's hair fell down so that Chris couldn't see his eyes.
Chris got shocked that Ray blocked him, he tried to get away from Ray's grasp but he wasn't able to move his leg.
Suddenly Ray came to his senses and immediately left his leg Chris, fell down due to the force he was pulling his leg.
Alex was astonished and Elaine started laughing at Chris "Heh, fu*king loser, can't even teach the brat a lesson"
Ray thought about what he had done, but he wasn't feeling pain nor fear, instead, he witnessed his body was boiling, his eyes were burning hot.
Abby just sensed something weird.
Alex then jumped forward and kicked Ray to his guts again, "Hey Bummer you think you are a shotgun huh? dare to hit my dog?"
Ray subconsciously said in a heavy tone "Hey, you think you are something after becoming an underling of a dickhead? what was his name again Sebastian huh? I bet you even clean his poop right?"
Alex got shocked and angry at the same time.
Ray added." Heh! after becoming an Elemental you think you are powerful enough to trample anyone? Let me tell you I can also control elements?". Blood was coming out of Ray's mouth as he talked.
Ichiro watched all this kneeling beside Ray, he was also shocked it seemed Ray was another person, his tone and the air around him changed.
Alex thought this was a joke that Ray is an Elemental, he knew he doesn't have money to buy, and even if he had he would need connections to obtain the serum.
Alex was going to hit another kick until a voice came from behind "Enough Alex", Abby said. Everyone was shocked because Abby never interfered in the disputes, but today he ordered Alex to stop.
"You punk you think you are some shit huh!" Alex yelled at Abby.
"If not for me you wouldn't be an Elemental now. No, you aren't even an Elemental right now". Abby said with a straight face
At hearing this Alex grabbed Abby's collar "What did you say?".
"Alex leave!"
"Huh? I couldn't hear you"
Elaine and Chris were surprised that the silent Abby was suddenly ordering around, but at the same moment, they wanted to witness Abby's strength, they never saw him fight.
Alex was in the heat and he forgot whose collar he was holding, Abby was tall he glared down Alex's eye, suddenly Alex felt a chill behind his back, and a force downwards attracted him. He was forced to kneel down by Abby.
In the heat of the moment, Alex thought Abby only has one of his underlings, but after the strong force, he came to the realization that he was facing an Elemental.
Elaine and Chris were shocked to see Alex kneel and struggle to get up, Chris suddenly realized, "Ab-Abby is an Earth Elemental he can control elements!". he shouted.
Abby just changed the gravitational force of the ground since Earth Elementals can control Ground, very easily!
"Abby you used E-17 serum? why didn't you said me," Alex asked and forced a smile on his face?
"And what if I did?, do I need to inform you?"Abby again looked into Alex's eyes, Alex started trembling as he saw his eyes again.
"I-I'm sorry Abby I just forgot my place, let me off will ya?"
Abby lifted the force and Alex crouched with relief. Abby moved forward where Ray was looking down with his eyes covered with bangs. Abby lifted his face with his hands, "You said you were Elemental huh? I can feel fire element inside your dantian, how did you manage to get E-17 serum? Not that it concerns me. Join 'Proxima'.
"Ab-Abby are you serious, how can we let this brat join the group? He is just a deadweight" Alex said in a hurry.
"Do I need your permission to make decisions" Abby replied.
"Bu-But the captain... sigh since this is what you want I will follow you!" Alex said.
But there was no reply from Ray he looked unconscious, "Four-eyes tell him what I asked" Abby said to Ichiro.
"Ye-Yes Sir" Ichiro nodded in reply.
"Let's go" Abby commanded.
