Ch.93 : The Dominator Has Arrived

Nic and his group's first day at Horizon Academy went smoothly. Nic managed to take control of the upper floors without much resistance. Jackson showed no signs of fighting back, as if he was preparing something behind the scenes.

Zane claimed the first floor, including the cafeteria. Most of the students downstairs weren't that strong, so he dealt with them easily.

Meanwhile, Alexa and Lamia took over the second floor and the school field. Unfortunately for the second-floor students, Alexa didn't show them any mercy. It was brutal.

Day Two

Before leaving for school, Nic got a call from Vivi.

"Nic, how are you? Are you okay?" she asked. "Nia told me where you went yesterday."

"I'm fine," Nic replied. "I promise I'll be more careful this time, so don't worry too much."

After the call, Nic made his way to Horizon Academy. But as he approached the entrance, something felt… off.

A group of five people walked past him three guys and two girls. None of them looked familiar.

They were covered in tattoos and piercings, looking more like gang members than students.

They must not have shown up yesterday, Nic thought.

As they passed him, they all stopped and turned around to stare.

One of the girls stepped forward. Her name was Natalia.

"You should go home," she said with a smirk. "There's going to be quite a show today."

Nic didn't want to appear weak. He wanted them to feel his presence so he quietly activated his God of Intimidation skill.

A chilling aura filled the air.

Natalia flinched, stepping back. That aura... it's terrifying, she thought. Almost like... our boss.

Nic looked at them coldly.

"What exactly are you planning to do?"

Before anyone could answer, a huge hand grabbed his head from behind and in a flash, Nic was thrown across the ground.

Luckily, thanks to his passive Anti-Pain, he barely felt a thing.

The person who threw him was none other than Dominus.

The five people immediately bowed.

Dominus's deep voice echoed,

"You ready, Natalia, Shokan, Viktor, Riven, Regina?"

"In position," they responded in unison.

Then Dominus shouted:

"THE DOMINATOR CRUSH ANY FOOLS WHO DARE MESS WITH OUR TERRITORY!"

His voice thundered across Horizon Academy.

The weak students scattered, some trembling in fear, hiding anywhere they could. Many of them had nearly died last time The Dominator showed up.

From above, Jackson watched with a crooked grin.

"Kehehe... Let's see how that kid handles real fear."

But Nic was already back on his feet, standing calmly.

"So... what exactly are you here for?" he asked again, voice cool and composed.

Dominus stopped and stared at him.

So this is the kid Jackson told me about...

He turned to his crew.

"Get in there. Find the pests causing problems and knock them out if you have to."

The crew rushed inside but Dominus stayed.

"I heard from Jackson," Dominus said, stepping closer. "You're Bru's little prodigy? Trying to take over the school, huh? Interesting. But stupid."

He leaned in, face twisted with menace.

"Have you ever felt true pain? Real loss? Helpless trauma? If not... you will."

Nic said nothing just stared.

Inside, Nic debated: Should I crush his pride now or wait and see what he'll do?

Dominus turned to look up and spotted Zara and her group watching from above.

"I heard something else..." he said with a twisted grin. "Zara's little gang changed names, huh? 'Unity Gang' now... so you're their leader? And you like her, don't you?"

He turned back to Nic with a sick smile.

"You better forget that feeling. Because soon... she'll be my personal toy."

"UHAHAHA!"

Dominus laughed wildly.

Nic's face turned cold, no longer just calm but filled with a deadly intent.

It wasn't about romantic feelings. Whether it was a girlfriend or a Unity family member if anyone dared touch them, Nic would destroy them.

Dominus saw the shift and laughed again.

He grabbed Nic's head and leaned in.

"Ohh... are you mad now? Good. That makes me even more excited to break you! TAKE THIS-"

He tried to throw Nic again but this time, Nic didn't move.

Dominus froze.

It felt like Nic suddenly weighed a ton.

While Dominus had been ranting, Nic had already activated God Skill Fusion: Combat Mode. All his combat-based God Skills were now active simultaneously.

Nic stared directly into his eyes.

Dominus, for the first time in his life, hesitated.

Up above, Jackson furrowed his brow.

"What's taking him so long? Why hasn't he thrown him?"

Even Zara and her crew were puzzled. What was going on?

Meanwhile In the Cafeteria

Zane was trying to check out the noise outside, but students blocked his path.

They were the same ones he had beaten yesterday now feeling bold again thanks to The Dominator's return.

Zane fought them off, but after taking down half, he was visibly tired.

Then Shokan and Riven appeared.

Shokan twirled a steel rod.

"Ever had this shoved inside you?"

Zane blinked. "What the?"

The students nearby immediately fled. They knew what was coming.

Riven laughed with a chain wrapped around his neck.

"Ever been hung upside-down for a whole day?"

Zane gritted his teeth.

"This school's full of psychos."

He picked up a broken table leg from the cafeteria floor.

"COME AT ME, FREAKS!"

Backyard Training Grounds

Alexa and Lamia were still training students like it was boot camp. They didn't care about Dominus's booming voice.

Then three more of his crew arrived: Viktor, Natalia, and Regina.

Lamia smiled sweetly.

"Well, well... new trainees? Come join us!"

Viktor laughed.

"These losers are being led by trash like you? No wonder Dominus didn't even bother showing up here."

Regina scoffed.

"Pathetic."

Alexa calmly walked over. Lamia waved,

"Don't kill them."

Natalia stepped forward but Viktor held her back.

"She's mine."

Natalia and Regina rolled their eyes. Typical Viktor.

When Viktor reached Alexa, he tried to flirt.

But without hesitation Alexa gouged both his eyes.

"AGHHH! DAMN IT! IT HURTS!"

Before he could escape, she wrapped him in her limbs and began choking him unconscious.

"HELP!!"

Regina rushed in to kick Alexa, but Lamia suddenly appeared behind her, yanked her hair, and slammed her down.

Natalia froze.

She realized these girls were dangerous.

Raising both hands, she surrendered.

Alexa and Lamia didn't care they let her go.

Natalia dragged the unconscious Viktor out while Regina limped after her.

Curious, Lamia decided to follow. Alexa tagged along too.

As they reached the front gate, they saw the other students standing still staring at something.

Natalia dropped Viktor to the ground and pushed through the crowd.

Her eyes widened in shock.

Dominus was kneeling. Bloodied. Beaten.

Nic stood tall, completely untouched except for the blood coating his fists.

His face was cold.

His anger? Absolute.
