Chapter 7 - The Unwritten Rules

The man who had grabbed Ronx's collar, suddenly punches him with full force right in the face. 

However, Ronx retaliates and kicks him, launching him away. 

With this, all three men, including the one that was launched, all attack Ronx. Some throw kicks, some punches and one even uses his power.

"Enlarge" one of the man yells, causing his fist to enlarge. He then attempts to drive the same fist into Ronx's face but Ronx dodges at the last second, the fist hitting the locker behind him instead. 

The impact of the punch destroyed the locker instantly, making Ronx realize how dangerous the ability is. 

"You punks think us people are weak, but we are no joke" The same man said, whose name was Raiken. 

Blake and the other guy nodded in agreement. 

Ronx couldn't use his power unless someone starts bleeding or there is blood near him so he had no choice but to throw punches for now. He then rushes forward and uppercuts Raiken and with a elbow to his face, his nose started to bleed. 

Using that small amount of blood, he was able to make a nail out of blood. Ronx then shoved the nail into one of Raiken's arm veins, he then pulled it out, causing a good amount of bleeding. 

Blake and the other guy both rushed over to help Raiken, the guy was about to land a punch in the gut while Blake for some reason was about to kick him right in the balls.

But Ronx stepped back, causing both of their attacks to miss. Then, Ronx used the nearby blood and hardened it, making a hammer and a few nails out of blood. He then threw the nails into the air and used the hammer to launch them forward into both of them.

Blake crouched at the very last second but the other guy got the nail launched right into his hand, which made him slightly scream in pain. "You stupid punk!"

"I'll let you three go if you plead for forgiveness" Ronx said coldly. 

But just then Raiken started to laugh, while the other two simply smiled. 

"How funny, do you really think you can defeat us?" Raiken said with a wide grin. "All three of us are grade 1, buddy, you are nothing compared to us." 

"We'll see about that" Ronx said with a serious face.

Raiken then activated his realm. Suddenly, all of them were teleported into a lightless world, an empty void with nothing but darkness.

Everyone except Raiken, couldn't see, only darkness. 

"Welcome to my Realm. Realm of absolute darkness" Raiken announced quite proudly.

Before Raiken could attack, the realm suddenly shattered into pieces, like glass. They all teleported back into the same room, same position. Except there was a middle-aged man in the middle of them.

Raiken, Blake and the other guy started to tremble in fear and instantly stood straight. Meanwhile, Ronx was shocked and in disbelief, not only that the realm but also it suddenly shattering into pieces. 

The middle-aged man had a very light beard and had average features but his eyes told a story. He hadn't slept for days and yet, his eyes were serious and powerful.

The middle-aged man spoke, it was an deep voice that shook the room itself.

"Are you kids bullying a newcomer again?" The man said calmly, not even looking at anyone. 

"N-No...umm, we were just-" Raiken said.

"I don't need your excuses, Raiken" the middle-aged man replied coldly. "Raiken and Mint, both of you come with me, this is your fifth time bullying someone. This isn't a school."

"It is time for your execution" the middle-aged man said, whose name was Kenji. 

Blake didn't have much of a reaction, in fact, he was slightly happy. While Ronx froze at the word "execution."

"They kill members if they don't follow the rules? He is about to get killed for just bullying?" The realization hit Ronx. He forgot this wasn't some office job, it was an organization made to kill criminals and dangerous monsters.

Kenji left with the other two, leaving Blake and Ronx alone.

The room was now suddenly silent with the both of them looking at each for a short moment.

And before Ronx could even react, Blake did a backhand strike, the sheer power launching Ronx into a wall. 

"Do you want to get executed too?" Ronx said while getting up with a serious face, slightly surprised.

"They can't execute me. I am the son of a famous person" Blake said arrogantly. "Not only that but-" before Blake could finish his nonsense, Ronx bit his own arm with full force, causing slight bleeding. 

"What are you-" Blake said, shocked and weirded out.

Ronx gathered all of the blood into one spot and shot it outward, aiming it towards the wall at a specific angle, causing it to deflect onto an another wall and then to Blake but Blake turned his body into steel, causing the straight line of blood to do no damage.

"Blood manipulation, huh? Interesting ability" Blake said with a wide evil grin, "My ability is to turn my body and anything I touch into steel."

"I couldn't care less" Ronx replied, biting himself yet again.

He then created a sword out of blood and used it to slash Blake but he turned his body into steel at the last second. But Ronx didn't stop and unleashed a rampage of blood slashes. 

"Why won't you get it? This won't work on me?" Blake said before turning his fist into steel and punching Ronx, causing Ronx to cough up blood and made him kneel.

"Quite a pathetic sight" Blake said while laughing at him.

As he was laughing at him, both of them felt a strange change in gravity that made both of them kneel. It felt like the air itself was crushing them both.

"Is this your power?!" Blake asked angrily.

"I wish it was" Ronx replied.

Both of them started trembling and vomited blood, their visions about to fade. Not only were their outsides getting crushed but their insides too, in fact, it felt like their organs were twisting and moving freely in their body. It was an unpleasant feeling.

["The being of the undisclosed Reality" is watching you closely] 

Their visions darkened and this exact sentence popped up in their brains.
