Chapter 6 - Here We Go Again

The sound of the alarm sliced through the silence like a dull blade. It was 6:10 a.m.

Leonardo opened his eyes slowly, the dampness in the room bothering him.

Rain fell outside, as if the world insisted on reminding him that today would be yet another miserable day at school.

Another miserable day?

I've got the damn System now.

Leonardo checked his phone notifications.

"Shit."

I forgot there's a math test today. I'll have to go to Natalia's place another time.

He put on the same worn-out jeans, the same stained hoodie, tied his torn sneakers and grabbed his backpack. 

Before leaving, he glanced one last time at the cracked mirror.

"A hunter, huh?"

The reflection still showed the same weary face, the same tired expression, but the eyes looked alive.

The school gate creaked as Leonardo walked through it.

His backpack hung from one shoulder, light as always.

Leonardo walked slowly, unhurried, with the certainty that there was nothing left to fear.

His posture caught the attention of other students.

"He's walking like he's not freakin' Leo," one of the students said, noticing the change.

"Yeah, what the hell's up with him? The trio's gonna roast him the moment he gets close."

"He must've watched one of those movies where acting tough makes the bullies go away."

A group of girls watched him from a distance, and a blonde with glasses let slip a comment.

"Okay, I don't want to say anything weird, but," she looked again at Leonardo, "Leo's kinda cute today, right?"

"What? The MILF Hunter? You serious, Livia?"

"I don't know, he seems more confident now, haven't you noticed?"

"Probably banged some old lady somewhere," another joked.

The school was the same hellhole as always.

Tall walls, peeling paint, and a gray sky overhead.

With few exceptions, the mockery and gossip about Leo kept spreading, snowballing into something uglier.

Leonardo walked down the halls knowing he was about to be humiliated again.

Vítor, Fabio, and Caio were already in position, wearing their usual smirks like their very existence depended on tormenting someone.

"Well, look who survived the weekend," Caio was the first to notice him.

"Probably too busy jerking off to moms, I bet." Fabio laughed.

"Or to his own mom," Vitor added, appearing behind the other two. "Maybe the sick fuck made a collage with her photos."

"Still hunting MILF videos on your phone, Leo?" Caio mocked, nudging his shoulder lightly.

Leonardo didn't react, he just held eye contact.

The silence that followed lasted two uncomfortable seconds.

Fábio tried to ease the tension. 

"Maybe he's into some of the old ladies around here, huh? Imagine Leo screwing the lunch lady! The one with the big tits." He moaned mockingly, making two nearby students laugh.

Leonardo kept walking, staring at them like they were bugs on a wall. His gaze was steady, indifferent, almost bored.

"Got hearing issues, Leo?" Vítor stepped closer, no longer smiling. "Or did you finally snap for good?"

Nothing.

Leonardo passed right by them without saying a word.

An awkward silence trailed behind him until Caio burst out laughing. "He froze, dude! Look at him! Blue screen!"

"Whatever," Vítor muttered under his breath, annoyed at Leo's lack of reaction.

Leonardo entered the classroom like someone walking into a lab for an experiment.

He sat in the back, as usual, and observed everyone around.

Amanda, the popular girl two rows ahead, texting while chewing gum with her mouth open.

Suddenly, she laughed at a message she got, and her friend nudged her, subtly pointing toward Leo.

There were muffled giggles from the two girls who always whispered when they saw him.

And the math teacher, too old to care anymore, scribbling something in a notebook while the class ignored him.

Laughter and sideways glances everywhere.

You're all fucked. I won't forget what you did and do to me.

—

During break, the bullies surrounded him again.

"Hey guys," Caio said loud enough for others to hear, "our cougar-hunter is quiet today. Probably jerked off all night and lost his voice."

"Look at his hand, it's trembling!" Fabio pointed at Leonardo's arm, holding a half-eaten apple.

Vítor came in last, phone in hand, editing something that Leonardo glimpsed for a second.

A cheap edit: his face on the body of a wrinkled old man hugging a half-naked blonde.

"Hey guys," Vítor turned to the others, "check this out. Leonardo in 2040 married to his own grandma!"

Laughter exploded.

Fabio leaned over the front desk, hand out. "Send it, dude. I'm making it my wallpaper!"

Leonardo didn't move. He just watched the circus unfold.

Vítor looked at him, clearly irritated. "Nothing to say? Not gonna cry? Run off? Slam your head into the wall? Come on, Leo… you're ruining the fun."

Leonardo's eyes narrowed slightly.

He tilted his head, finally.

"That's it?"

Vitor paused.

"Huh?"

"This. That was the joke? The edit? That's the best you've got?"

Fabio laughed loudly, like it gave him permission. "Damn, he's cocky now, huh? Must've nutted so hard over the weekend he lost all shame."

Leonardo just smiled.

It was like watching ants in a colony. A dumb, predictable ecosystem.

Caio opened a bag of chips and began tossing crumbs into Leonardo's hair, laughing every time one landed. "Maybe it's his fetish too, right? He's got a boner right now!"

Leonardo slowly raised his head.

"Is this what you do when you can't get a real laugh out of someone?"

Caio froze, his grin fading.

Vitor stepped forward again.

"What's your deal, freak? You lost it? Who do you think you are?"

Leonardo stood up. He was taller than he seemed while sitting.

He looked Vitor in the eyes. "Aren't you guys tired yet?" he asked, voice low but firm.

A heavy silence followed. The three of them stared at him like they were waiting for a punchline, but none came.

"What, you gonna talk back now? Think you're tough?"

"No," Leonardo gave a slight smirk. "Just wondering if this still feels funny to you, because it's starting to feel repetitive."

The silence lasted two seconds. Three. Then Vítor stepped forward and shoved him hard in the shoulder.

"Watch your mouth, freak, before I make you swallow your tongue."

Leonardo stepped aside and walked off. 

Down the hallway without looking back. 

His footsteps were muffled by the distant noise from the cafeteria.

Outside, leaning against the wall, he took a deep breath.

There, alone, he finally let the real smile escape, anticipating everything he was about to do in the days to come.

He didn't need quick revenge. That would be too easy.

Their humiliation would be slow and methodical, starting where they least expected.

The women in your lives will moan my name, you worms.

Leo recalled the plan that was already in motion.

Starting with Mrs. MILF Natalia.

He left his belongings at school and walked straight to Vitor's house, ready to end his plan of cumming all over Natalia's lewdy body once for all.
