Geumryong High was a jungle. The weak scurried through hallways with their heads down. The ones who buttered up to Leo D'Amore strolled wherever they pleased.
And Leo D'Amore reigned as the king.
A trio of boys stood defiantly at the courtyard gates. Word had spread of Leo's tyranny—of Jae Taejin's failed stand the day before—and some believed the lion could be wounded.
They were wrong.
"D'Amore!" the tallest of the three shouted, stepping forward. His right leg mutated—tripled in size and muscle—shaking the earth beneath him.
The second bared jagged teeth that jutted from his mouth like steel stakes.
The third raised a grotesque, clawed hand, its fingers twitching with bloodlust.
Leo's gang formed a semi-circle behind him, watching like vultures.
Leo rolled his shoulders. He didn't speak. His fist clenched, glowing a hellish red. His face contorted with rage
The courtyard wind died. Leo had activated his Aspect. (Fury Surge)
"Think you're special?" Leo muttered.
The Trio rushed into Leo all of them attempting to get their revenge on him.
BOOM!
Leo drove his fist into the chest of the boy with the large leg, caving it in. Red aura exploded out like a shockwave.
The boy with the claws lunged, but Leo whipped around and elbowed him with his overweight elbow in the temple. He dropped like a rag doll.
The third never got as far as one punch.
Leo's gang swarmed at him
A knee to the nose. A stomp to the ribcage. A sucker punch to the back of the skull. The ground turned into his poor blood.
Leo stood over the pile of groaning bodies, blood splattered on his school shoes.
He looked up grinning at the scene and his eyes ran across the room for one person.
Soojin Kim Phone in hand. Expression flat. No claps. No glances. Not even a blink. She seemed unphased almost disgusted with Leo's behaviour.
Leo's face twitched. "Still pretending, huh?"
He gritted his teeth.
"you'll be my babe one day" he muttered
Later that day…
Leo D'Amore paced down the upper corridor when he heard a sort of conversation.
Not just a conversation with 2 random people but She was in the conversation.
He peeked around the corner and to his surpise talking to Soojin kim was Jae Taejin.
Standing way to close to Soojin Kim, as the pair conversed about something Soojin occasionally laughing.
Leo's blood boiled.
He clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked.
Couple minutes later, Leo asked his crew just who this Jae Taejin guy was and one of them told him that Taejin was actually some orphan transfer, hearing this Leo grinned and cracked his meaty neck, in the third-floor boys' bathroom—
There he was Jae Taejin washing his hands as leo and his crew entered In an instant Leos crew grabbed Jae Taejin and brought him into a cubicle and Leo grabbed Jae Taejin's Hair and slammed into the Toilet Bowl. The water sloshed with a dull gurgle as Leo shoved him down again.
"You Orphaned fucker who do you think you are talking to my beloved princess boo boo Soojin" Leo growled.
Leo Shoved his head back in.
Flush
"You dirty parentless Bastard." Leo roared as Taejin tried not to choke on the water.
Flush
Leo stepped back, letting Taejin slump to the tile floor, soaked and coughing but in that moment Leo Stomped on Taejins stomach.
His gang laughed as they filed out, leaving a puddle behind them.
The Next Morning.
Dong Seok was back in Leo's grasp. His face was already purple with bruises.
"Thought you could skip out on lunch money?" Leo asked mockingly.
He punched him across the jaw, then dragged his face through the dirt, right in front of Soojin sitting at a bench, scrolling her phone.
Leo stared at her.
She didn't even raise her eyes.
Leo looked at her expectantly.
Nothing.
She didn't even glance up from her phone.
"Damn it…" Leo hissed. He stepped all over Dong Seok's back in anger.
Then—crack
A sharp pain. A blunt impact.
Leo stumbled forward, gasping. His gang turned in unison.
Jae Taejin roared "Leave him the fuck alone you belly rolled fat shitstain"
Breathing hard. A large, jagged rock gripped in both hands.
Before Leo could cover himself, Taejin slammed the rock with force.
CRACK
Right on Leo's face. Blood splattered across the dirt.
Taejin tossed the rock aside and dropped onto Leo's chest, fists flying like pistons.
Left. Right. Left. Right.
Blood Flew everywhere
Leo's gang froze they where shocked in fear. Their king wasn't moving. His face was a crimson mess—broken teeth, mashed lips, unrecognizable.
A group of students came to see the commotion cheering on Jae Taejin."fuck him up fuck him up." Many said in unison
Leo tried saying sorry. "please i-" as a punch lands on his face "no please master im sorry", "master plea-" Taejin roared with even more anger "dont apologise to me you bloated behemoth fuck get on your knees and apologise to poor Dong Seok and all the other countless people you think your piggy legs can trample over"
Jae Taejin went back to slamming his fists sqaure into Leo d'amores face
And it all happened beneath Soojins feet
She stared at Leo D'amore with disgust.
Jae Taejin stood, panting, his knuckles raw and bleeding.
Leo D'Amore didn't move.
Right then hands grabbed Jae Taejin off Leo D'amores body the last thing he saw as the teachers dragged him away was Leo's Inflated bloody face, as other students cheered him on "Jae Taejin Jae Taejin" they all shouted. Soojin gave Taejin a smile aswell as he was dragged into the school building.
