Chapter 29: New mission!

James widened his eyes, showing a bit of anger. "Do you think I’m a fool? Who in their right mind would let themselves get cheated for the second time by the same person?"

"I see. You’ve got a point. But backing down now is so unmanly, you know?"

"Bastard, who said I’m backing down? This time we are changing the condition!"

"Oh, so that’s your plan. Alright, let’s hear it out."

Dante just wanted to settle this quickly.

"Let’s reverse the position."

"Ah, so you mean you will be the one hitting me?"

"Seems like I don’t need to repeat myself."

"That sounds like you’re backing down though. And in front of your friends and girlfriend at that."

"Bastard!"

"James, let’s just kill them," one of his lackeys whispered.

"Idiot. In front of the girls? What if one of them reports us?"

"Uhm..."

"Forget it," James said.

"What? Are you afraid of me hitting you?" James returned his gaze to Dante when he noticed his silence.

Smiling, "Me? Afraid? Not really," Dante replied, showing no signs of worry.

’How can this guy be so carefree about it?’ Megan thought as she looked at Dante.

Dante even said, "If you want, we can make it more exciting."

"More exciting you say? Do you think you have the right to suggest anything!" Without a warning, James suddenly sent a slap on Dante’s face while grinning.

This was his revenge! A surprise attack while the opponent has little awareness of it.

However, before his slap could hit him, James’ cheek was unexpectedly hit first.

Slap!

James found himself in a daze for a second with eyes staring into an empty space and a mind wondering what had just happened. He felt a stinging pain on his left cheek.

"Uhm, that’s not my fault. You have startled me so I let go of my slap out of reflex," Dante explained in haste.

James’ cheeks turned red. It looked like he was hiding tomatoes inside his mouth.

"You bastard, you did it purposely!" James fumed in anger. Glint was visible in his eyes.

"As I said, that was not intentional. That’s a defensive reflex. You startled me so my hand moved on its own. Also, there’s no rule stating I can’t hit back, no?"

James gnashed his teeth and his fist trembled. The last thread of his patient finally broke. He then screamed. "Forget about rules! Everyone, let’s beat this mothafuck!"

As soon as James said that, his lackeys attacked Dante all at once. This is what they waited for. Finally, their time to enjoy the party has come.

"Leave him to us, James!"

Dante sent a disappointed glance at James.

After sighing, he said. "Ah, what a sore loser," he shook his head slightly. He wanted to settle this a little bit peacefully. Unfortunately, it didn’t go the way he wanted.

Sujin’s face turned pale immediately. "This is bad..."

Earlier, he was clinging to a tiny chance that this would settle without resorting to excessive violence. But looking at it now, the chance was completely shattered.

To everyone’s surprise, none of James’ lackey’s attacks was able to land on Dante. Like a slippery eel, he easily dodged their attack.

Sliding away from their clutches and avoiding any potential pincer attacks.

"Impossible..."

Those four are proficient martial artists who are good at boxing, taekwondo, wrestling, and karate.

’But none of them was able to catch him?’ James and the girls couldn’t believe what their eyes were seeing.

"Is Dante always this good at fighting?" One of the girls asked.

Even Sujin also had the same question in his mind.

Since in their school fighting between students rarely occurred and was strictly prohibited, no one knew each student’s capabilities in terms of combat.

But perhaps Dante was always this good in fighting they just didn’t realize.

Right after Dante started retaliating, James’ lackey dropped on the floor one after another.

When the fourth person sent a roundhouse kick, Dante casually stepped forward and sent a slap to his face before the enemy’s kick could hit him.

All four martial artists received one slap that took them down on the spot.

’Dante just slapped their consciousness out of them? What the hell is happening? Am I dreaming? Maybe I am the one in a coma right now. What if that’s the truth?’ Too many questions flooded Sujin’s mind at that moment.

Looking at his people lying on the floor, unconscious, James seemed like time stopped ticking on him. He looked with a frozen expression.

But as soon as he noticed Dante’s unguarded back, his mind was clouded by the word revenge. He quickly took his baton and rushed forward.

"Take this!"

James swung his baton. However, without even looking behind, Dante tilted his head to the side, dodging James’ baton.

What?

James was shocked for a moment. He continued attacking but Dante disarmed him quickly.

Slap!

Another slap landed on James’ face. His face looked bloated. There was no more trace of the handsome face he was once so proud of.

Slap!

After another slap, he dropped to his knees, barely clinging to his consciousness.

In his life, he hadn’t suffered any humiliation. He was the one who humiliated others. But this time, not only did he fail to get his revenge, but he was also humiliated in front of his girlfriend and her friends.

Who is this Dante? Why is he so strong? He could understand it if he was up against a superhuman, but against an ordinary human? This humiliation is something he can’t accept for the rest of his life unless he erases Dante’s existence from this world.

At that moment, a bell rang out, indicating to all students the end of break and the resume of class.

Dante glanced at Sujin and casually said, "Let’s go, Creep."

When Sujin heard it, he suddenly shouted. "What the hell was that, Creep?! I didn’t know you were good at fighting! When did you learn how to fight? Wait, are you secretly the main character? Were you a secret agent raised by a secret organization when you were a child?"

"What the hell was that question? I told you to stop mixing reality with novels and anime."

"Bro, it’s too late for that now. Superpowers are the norm now, you know?"

"Well. I can’t deny that."

The two started leaving.

Megan and her friends were left staring at Dante’s retreating figure before she decided to approach James to check on him.

However, before Megan could reach him, the ground trembled. Then a dark aura burst out from James’ body.

At the same time it happened, Ding! A notification sound rang in Dante’s head. Then, a translucent box emerged in his vision. In it was a message containing a new mission.
