8. ELLIOT GETS BEATEN

Blake sighed and shook his head. How could this guy be so annoying? Still if he wanted trouble, then Blake was going to make sure that he got it! "Hey scum! You thought after that little stunt you pulled you could get away with it huh? Well no way! I'm going to teach you a lesson you will never forget!" said Elliot, blocking Blake's way. A crowd began to form around them as the students gathered eagerly in anticipation of a fight. "What do you want?" Blake asked. "You're scared now huh? Maybe if you kneel and beg me for forgiveness I might consider not beating you up badly!" said Elliot proudly. "Shut up," said Blake, waving his hand and letting blue energy out, sending one of Elliot's cronies flying but Elliot seemed to have prepared for this and used his Telekinesis ability to pull his crony back. "I know how to counter that strange power of yours, scum. I'm going to make you regret for this!" said Elliot. "Ignorance truly is bliss said Blake, shaking his head

Suddenly, his eyes glowed deep blue and blue essence came out of him in waves, sending Elliot and his cronies flying. The energy turned into a viscous blue liquid which grabbed them and pulled them back to Blake. Waving his hand again, the blue liquid began to set like cement around the bodies of Elliot and his cronies. Raising his hand, Blake brought it down in a smooth motion, causing the solidified blue energy to slam into the ground, hurting the sorry seven. Spreading his hands apart, Blake separated the energy, splitting the seven up. One of them unleashed his ability, Flame body, to burn away the blue energy but the energy turned into gas. Suddenly, the boy started screaming and immediately withdrew his ability. This was because the gas was making him burn more than his flame body could take. Had he continued, he would have suffered serious burns on his body. The blue energy formed a wall and the seven boys were slammed face first and pinned on it. Some of the blue energy separated and morphed into seven whips. "Strike!" said Blake coldly, waving his hand. Instantly, the whips began to lash at the back of the seven boys mercilessly, shocking those gathered. "Isn't that the new kid? How the f*ck is he so strong??" one of his classmates exclaimed. He wasn't the only one who was shocked. Mr. Green was watching the scene in the Teachers' Restroom with some of his colleagues. "His ability is powerful! To be able to manifest itself in all three states of matter its astounding!" one commented. Rick Porter watched in fear as Elliot and his cronies were soundly whipped by Blake. "How did he become so strong?" he asked himself in shock. Very soon, he was feeling fear, not only him but those who had once bullied him before advancing. What if Blake decided to get revenge? was the main question in their minds. The school was so silent that you could hear a pin drop as the only nice which pervaded the serene atmosphere was the wretched howls and cries of Elliot and his cronies. 50 lashes later, the cronies were released by Blake with swollen red backs as they fled in fear and shame from the scene, leaving only Elliot. The seven whips morphed into one and commenced whipping Elliot again, his agonized cries filling the school again. One teacher wanted to move to prevent any further beatings but he was stopped by the head. "Keep quiet and watch the show," said the Master.

It did not take long for Elliot to pass out from the beating and finally Blake stopped. The blue energy turned into a catapult and Elliot was launched out of the school block, landing directly behind the school wall. Blake dusted off his hands and walked out of the school, the students parting to make way for him.

"WTF just happened??"

"Elliot just got whipped by some nameless dude!"

"Why didn't the teachers make a move?"

"Maybe they were too busy watching the show,"

"Elliot's probably a cripple now,"

"Naa, his family is rich, they'll patch him up,"

"This new guy is too overbearing!"

The students were still talking when Blake left. He recieved a notification from the system. [Mission complete: Teach the bully a lesson! Reward: Water elemental core (low grade)]

Blake's eyes went wide. "Wow! so I can get elemental cores by beating up annoying guys?" said Blake happily as he entered his house.

Meanwhile in a hidden location, a certain woman was observing a video clip. It was showing a blond boy beating seven boys with his ability. "Continue observing him. Watch his every move," said the woman to a figure hidden in the shadows. The figure bowed and vanished. "Hmm, this ability is very mysterious... and very powerful... It might be dangerous to our purposes..." mused the woman.
