Chapter 21: The black dragon's trial (3): Aspect power

Akun's eyes widened in surprise as the bus driver revealed that he was actually the black dragon. "You?" Akun stammered, trying to process the revelation.

The dragon nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. And now that you know, listen carefully. If you want to pass my trial, you must get your revenge and show your dominance. Prove to me that you have what it takes to wield my power. If you fail, I will consume you."

Akun felt a mixture of fear and determination swirling inside him. He wondered how he would get his revenge, but he knew he had to start standing up for himself from now on.

As the bus stopped a few streets away from Akun's home, he got off and walked back to his place. Living alone, he knew his parents were overseas, sending him money for his necessities.

The next morning at school, Ken approached Akun, mocking him for spending the entire night walking home. "How did you manage to get here so early this morning?" Ken taunted.

Akun ignored him, knowing that he had bigger things to worry about. But Ken's anger only grew, and after class, he pulled Akun to the back of the school, surrounding him with his gang of boys.

"Now, let's see what you're made of," Ken sneered, ready to test Akun's newfound resolve.

As the boys surrounded him, Akun couldn't believe he was in this situation. "What did I do wrong?" he shouted, feeling frustrated.

Ken smirked and said, "This is the price you pay for ignoring me, loser."

Feeling desperate, Akun called out to his status window, hoping for some kind of help, but to his dismay, it didn't appear. The boys laughed at him, taunting him for still acting like life was a game.

Undeterred, Akun then called out to the Endless Evolution system, hoping it would come to his rescue. But the response wasn't what he wanted to hear.

[Unfortunately, dear player the system cannot enhance your physical abilities in this illusion. It is a mental construct and not part of the real world. You'll have to rely on your own wits and skills to navigate this situation. Stay strong.]

The black dragon in the orb observed in awe and confusion. "How is he doing that? I thought he was just an ant! Only the gods possess the power to move objects with their thoughts."

"Normally a knight only gains aspect power after he has mastered his weapon, aspect power allows knights to move objects with their mind and even fly, but I don't have time to master a weapon now, I want to finish this trial quickly." he mused to himself.

His eyes gleamed with a mix of fear and determination. "If I want to show Ken and the rest of those jerks who's boss, I gotta level up this aspect power to level 5," he said with a resolute nod. He knew that upgrading the skill would mean enduring a lot of pain, but he was ready to face the challenge.

As the next morning rolled in, Akun arrived at school, surprisingly unharmed. Ken and the rest of his classmates couldn't believe their eyes, their surprise turning into curious chatter as they wondered what had happened to him.

With no teacher in sight, Akun took matters into his own hands. He walked confidently to the front of the class, picked up a chalk, and began writing on the board. His actions captured everyone's attention, and they couldn't help but mock him again, thinking he must be lost in one of his fantasies.

"Hey, what are you doing? You're not a teacher!" someone called out, followed by a chorus of laughter from the class. Another student added, "Yeah, like seriously, what could he possibly teach us? How to fail?"

Amidst the laughter, Ken, feeling cocky, put his feet up on the table and threatened Akun with another beating if he didn't stop. But Akun's response was unexpected; he grinned wickedly and continued, undeterred by their mocking.

When he was done writing, the words on the board read "special class." Akun then declared that he would be conducting a special class, hoping that everyone would learn something from it.

The class fell into a hushed silence, curious and puzzled by Akun's bold move.

As Ken got up from his seat, determined to confront Akun and put an end to his antics.

"That's enough out of you, it seems all the beating you got yesterday wasn't enough." ken said, suddenly something unexpected happened. The whole classroom was enveloped in a soft white glow, and to Ken's astonishment, he suddenly found himself unable to move. His body felt like it was glued to the chair, and even his mouth seemed to be sealed shut. Confusion and fear washed over him as he struggled to understand what was happening.

To his surprise, the same strange phenomenon affected the rest of the students as well. They all felt trapped in their seats, unable to move a muscle. Akun stood before them, his eyes glowing with an eerie white light, and he let out a sinister laugh that sent shivers down their spines.

"Damm... this is going to be fun, let's begin the special class now, shall we?"
