Nuisances (3)

What the fuck with that human?—Odin seems to want to scream at himself. He stared in disbelief at the phone screen pointed out by one of the boys from the audience. It showed something terrible, a photo where Kai gets raped by boys and even some men.

Odin was stunned, and his eyes widened. He couldn't speak anymore because he was shocked by what he saw.

Now he knew the reason why Kai's soul seemed so weak and easy to get frightened of the people around him. This boy faced a demon with human skin — thought Odin.

The next moment, Odin's gaze changed sharply, and unconsciously he clenched his right hand tightly and made red rashes on his palm.

Odin then swore as the God King and as the owner of the name Father of All in Heaven, that he would help Kai to change his life for the better and show what a miracle is.

Odin glanced at the microphone in front of him. From his observations, the object in front of him was a device that made sounds louder. So, he took a step back and turned his face away.

On the other hand, all the students in the audience seemed to be whispering. The teachers and principal stared in confusion at Kai, because he stepped down from the pulpit before finishing his speech.

"Kiddo," whispered Odin in as low a voice as possible, "I know this is hard, but hold back your tears and finish what you started ..."

"Sob... sob... sob! B-But w-what if Oscar spreads that? After all, he's in the same gang as Leywin," Kai said softly as he wiped his left eye with his left hand when he felt tears flowing out of his eyes.

Odin took a deep breath and said, "Leave it to me. I will take care of the rest ..."

"... and I'll show you what a miracle is," said Odin as he closed his right eye.

On the other hand, when Kai heard those words, he felt a little courage in himself. Kai didn't understand exactly what phenomenon was happening to him. How could something that he believed was his other personality could give him a boost of courage?

Kai then immediately wiped away the traces of tears on his left cheek. Although he felt a little hesitant, he still returned to the pulpit.

Afterward, Kai took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for a little problem, a bug got into my eye earlier ..."

"..."

"T-Then, let me continue my speech ..."

After that, Kai continued his speech, although his voice was a little shaky, meanwhile Odin -- who was in the same body as Kai — was grinning secretly.

Odin then activated his [Authority]. He speaks in between Kai's speech.

"Void Authority: Brunhilde's Thread."

[Access Permitted]

Odin gathered a purplish aura at the tip of the index finger of his right hand and then made a finger pose like a gun toward the smartphone that Oscar held. Then it shot to that smartphone and created an aura thread that connected with Odin's right index finger.

"Bang!" Odin muttered with a wide grin looking at Oscar.

BOOM!

After Odin said that, suddenly a small explosion was heard from the rear audience seats and then followed by a scream from a boy who got badly injured in his right hand.

"Arrgh...! M-My hand... h-help -- h-help me! Arrghh!"

Everyone suddenly panicked. Kai, who had just finished his speech, became confused when he saw almost everyone in the room surrounding Oscar who couldn't stop screaming and crying.

Amid the panic, Kai remained silent on stage. He just stared at the people in confusion.

Kai didn't know how to react to this chaotic situation now. He could also see the remains of sparks mixed with electricity from a smartphone that Oscar had been holding before.

"W-What just happened?" Kai muttered in confusion.

Odin grinned widely and answered, "This is a miracle I told you, Kiddo."

Not long after, the [System] notification sound sounded again and was followed by a blue screen floating in the air.

DING!

For a moment, Odin was silent when he saw a series of sentences written on the [System] screen. However, the next second, Odin grinned widely. Looks like he's got something interesting here -- he thought.

—---------------------------------------------------------

DING!

[Congratulations!]

[Daily Mission Completed!]

[All Status Points +1]

The [System] notification sounded and was followed by a blue screen floating in the air.

Odin just took a quick glance at it. He then sat down on a bench under a large tree in the backyard of the school building.

This second daily mission wasn't that hard like before — Odin thought, but Kai still thought otherwise.

Today's lesson wasn't so hectic, so Odin didn't have to stay too long in the classroom for Kai and listen to all the nonsense of the one human in front of the room who's called 'teacher'.

After the incident in the hall, the teachers were busy. Some teachers had to go take Oscar to the hospital. Both of his hands were crushed because the smartphone he was holding exploded. That was probably why today's class ended early.

"Well, he deserved it," Odin muttered with a faint grin on his face.

However Kai, seemed to have a slightly dazed look in his left eye.

"Haahh ... I never thought that Oscar's condition was actually quite pathetic. You know, both of his hands are completely destroyed," Kai said, "I'm not sure those will ever return to normal."

"Why, do you pity him?" replied Odin sarcastically.

"Of course, no!" Kai said as he clenched his left fist, "How can I not hate him when he's the one who ruined me."

Odin snorted when he heard Kai's answer and then replied, "That's good. But, let me giving you advice, kiddo ..."

"... don't have too much hatred for something. Because it will only devour your heart." Odin said firmly, while Kai just fell silent.

Odin then picked up one of the cola bottles next to him, opened it and drank it quickly.

"Burp! Ah! Drinking this after doing those damn exercises is really refreshing."

Kai's left eye glanced at the other two cola bottles on Odin's right side and said, "Hey, don't drink it too much, you'll get a stomachache."

"I've even had three bottles before and everything is still fine," Odin said in denial.

Kai snorted and replied, "Are you crazy?"

Odin didn't answer and just drank the bottle of cola he had opened until it was gone. Odin then took one of the big hotdog portions that were beside him — he bought two big portions earlier.

"I didn't believe that another of me had such a big appetite," Kai said.

"You should eat more for your growth, kiddo," Odin said, "You know? In Heaven, every new God will be given a table full of food for them to eat."

Kai rolled his left eye as he said, "Don't you get tired of talking about Heaven or something?"

Odin merely shrugged in response to Kai's words. He then ate the hotdog in his hand with gusto and quickly took the last one after the hotdog was gone.

However, suddenly something slapped his hand so hard and made his last hotdog fall. Odin then stunned while staring at his last hotdog on the ground.

In his sitting position, Odin then lowered his head slightly to pick up his hotdog. But, someone stepped on it.

"Tsk." Odin became a little annoyed because it was his last hotdog.

Odin then straightened back his body and he found a group of teenagers in front of him — almost all of them were boys and there were just two girls.

"Look who's here? I think I lost my punching bag..."

At the same time, the [System] notification sounded again.

DING!

[The main mission has arrived!]
