The Alternate - 1

The following chapter is how Hunters Royale actually began. Then I changed it up as you can see in the first chapter.

I thought of uploading it now as the pace in the original story is actually relaxed right now.

Just read this for fun or you can SKIP.

.....

Present Time.

Year 3021.

City Bountress.

Bountress High.

FIGHT!!

FIGHT!!

FIGHT!!

The rest of the 'present' students except Jin and Toby were enveloping two high school teenagers. What were Jin and Toby doing?. They were the two high school teenagers the others were encircling.

"Bro? What's happening?"

One of the static teenagers asked his friend beside him, who was both exuberantly and excitedly gaping at the fight.

"Can't you see?. A fight's happening!!"

His friend's reply carried a tinge of annoyance as his tongue clicked together to create "TCH"

"But why are they fighting?"

"Tsk, That's a long story"

So. Ostensibly, Jin and Toby, the notorious class clowns inaugurated their cheeks with fists, only because of a question that even the so-called science was baffled with.

"Egg came first you bastard!"

Jin jabbed his right fist, straight and square into Toby's right shoulder blade.

[Jin Wrack]

{Age: 17}

{Sex: Virgi... Oops Male}

{City: Bountress City}

{Siblings: No}

{Family: Father(Missing), Lives with Mother and has no siblings.}

....

Toby palmed the air first before uniting it with Jin's cheek.

"It was the chicken stupid!!!"

[Toby Nazon]

{Age: 17}

{Sex: Male ;) }

{City: Bountress City}

{Siblings: Yes, A Sister 2 years younger than him}

{Family: Father, Mother, Sister, and Him}

...

"Egg!!"

"Chicken!!"

The feud over the reality of chicken and egg began to heat up along with the hectic cries of their profound classmates.

The classroom was well organized with the tables and chairs allocated and amassed to the corners and abutted to the whitewashed walls.

The chairs which were 1 more than a table was on top of each other in the similar fashion of a deck of cards and set up on top of their respected tables.

The moderately spacious classroom was free of furniture obstructing their route to the corridor like they always did when the students used to vacate after having the same redundant boring lessons and lectures by the same boring teachers.

But the justification of a yearly festival on the next day let them do whatever they wanted in the classroom after their lunch breaks. Which meant... No impediments by the teachers or by the faculty.

Taking that to windfall, Jin and Toby were having a fistfight over a thesis that wouldn't presumably harm them... Or so they thought.

"Blood"

Toby's finger caressed his lips and came back to his image frame with a drop of red liquid which was, obviously blood.

"So you've chosen death?"

He continued, wiping his finger on his violet hoodie before shooting a 'Samuel L Jackson' gape at his friend, but for the time being 'MORTAL ENEMY'

"Blood?..."

"Now you've done it!!"

Jin bellowed in return, beating his chest like a madman on his umpteenth murder spree and lifted his leg for a kick.

"EHEM!!. Guys!! seriously??"

A Third voice greeted them as a figure entered between them.

"Let's get back to the question. With amniotic eggs showing up roughly 340 million or so years ago, and the first chickens evolving at around 58 thousand years ago at the earliest, it's a safe bet to say the egg came first. Eggs were way around before chickens even existed"

"Shut Up Jonathan!!"

Toby yowled at the spectacled kid beside Jin.

"Nah!!. Shut up to you Toby!! Eggs, generally speaking, existed before chickens did. The oldest fossils of dinosaur eggs and embryos are about 190 million years old. Archaeopteryx fossils, which are the oldest generally accepted as birds, are around 150 million years old, which means that birds, in general, came after eggs"

[Jonathan Jonas]

[Nickname: Joe (commonly used), JoJo (unknown nickname... yet to be discovered)]

{Age: 17}

{Sex: Male}

{City: Ringup City (Originating City), Bountress City (Temporary)}

{Siblings: Yes, A Golden Canine, rank C monster, named Padré, whom he thinks is his sibling because he thinks it resembles his dad}

{Family: Father, Mother, Him, and Padré}

.....

"Gimme a High Five!!"

Jonathan's complacent voice permeated Jin's eardrums as Joe swerved towards him with his palm swiping the air with a joyous smile on his face.

"Jin!.. Gimme a High..."

...

...

"FACE!!"

Toby railed his palm against Joe's tanned cheek, imprinting his fingers on them like lead on paper. Toby who made one hell of contact sent Jonathan's lenses flying from his face.

Poor Jonathan, the only thing he wished for was just a high-five.

~An Instantaneous "KO" echoed in the background throughout the classroom~

[ Toby Nazon - Level Up !!..!! ]

[ 'KO'ed Jonathan Jonas ]

[ Level has risen to 20 ]

[Choose Tier To Equip]

[1. Low Tier Bronze]

[2. Mid Tier Bronze]

[Current Tier equipped: Mid Tier Bronze]

....

Dozens of smothered howls rebounded inside the classroom as Toby's status window popped open.

The status windows could be muted or showed openly according to the user's choice. But most of them kept their systems off because the protocol of the school's defense system wouldn't allow them to use their powers inside the educational edifice anyways.

"Ah... Kekekek... I forgot to mute the status window, guys... I am sorry... kek"

"So?!... Why are being so smug about that?"

Jin queried as his eyebrows perched up in a similar way to that of an inverted tick mark.

Toby was rubbing the underside of his nose with his index, all while haughtily nodding his head with his eyes shut in an analogous way of ascertaining that he was the 'best boi' of the century.

"ARA ARA, Don't be jealous... Mr. Level 10, You will secure a day to commemorate too *cough*"

His words finalized with a wink, but it didn't carry an ant's weight to Jin. Why?. He knew Toby very well. They have been best friends since middle school!!. So it was just a common to and fro between best friends who knew each other very well.

AND by 'they' I mean...

Jin's broad grin came to life as his mouth twisted in a melancholic way along with his lips which went all the way up like 'Grinch'.

Toby shuddered under the weight of his friend's grin which left him space to utter only one thing through his now 'despaired' mouth.

"Eh?.."

The space under his legs vibrated.

It was at this moment, He knew... He Fucked Up!

"You might've forgotten someone...!!"

said Jin with a laugh.

"How can you be so oblivious of the school laws Toby?"

"Wha..?"

Toby could only muster to ask 'what' as another voice enclosed his.

"Joe Mori Original!!"

*POW*

*( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)*

"Ooomphhhh"

An 'Ooomphhh' was the only phrase poor Toby could convene as Jonathan raised his legs to his heaven. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Jonathan Jonas, whom everyone had thought was knocked out was already up and standing. The powerless palm of Toby could only knock somebody out for merely a minute before they could recoup consciousness.

The ordinance of 'not to use your system powers in school building' finally played its part in Joe's victory over Toby in the form of egg crushing dominance.

"That was fun hehe, But man, I can't hold it in. Gotta go pee!"

Jin said as he bent down towards Toby who clutched his crotch.

"Me too!!"

Jonathan chuckled as he picked up his fallen glasses from the floor.

"Now tell me Tobs, which came first?. The egg or the chicken?"

Jin chuckled beside the cooped up boy as he rubbed his hands together.

"MY EGGS!!!"

Just as Jin expected, the obvious answer of 'eggs' scooted out of his friend's mouth, donning the form of 'syllables of consensus' to his ears.

"Ding Dong!!!. Bingo!!. Let's Go then"

Jin pulled his friend up to his legs and helped Toby regain balance before taking off towards the doorway with Toby's arm on his shoulders.

Jonathan rushed behind them but halted his steps on the doorway, Jin and Toby vacated out of the frame, leaving Joe behind.

Jonathan veered around with a smile on his face as his spectacled vision opened on his classmates.

"I apologize for the inconvenience... please continue the 'whatever let's just live this day bullshit' you guys were doing..."

"Peace out"

The rest of the classmates who were, by the way, hanging their jaws in awe were left in the dust as Jonathan exited the doorway frame and scooted out of their vision.

"Hol' up!!"

"Joe!!. Come here quick. This fucking Humpty dumpty ain't dropping his act..."

Jonathan Jonas smoothly slid under the other arm and helped Toby up as he supported him with his shoulders.

"Onward Musketeers. To the boy's toilet!!.

"One for all..."

said Jonathan.

"And all for eggs"

completed Jin, with the most authentic giggle he had ever cracked.

And back to why I mentioned 'They'

They are the pride and arrogance of Class A, Grade 12...

The Notorious Trio Of Bountress High.

Jin, Toby, and Jonathan.

And together they form [J T J]

The journey of the crackhead trio begins here.
