Chapter 17: The fall of the tyrant 2

Alexander froze as he read the message, apparently this battle had two phases, but the system had not told him.

(What, my body feels heavy, too heavy)

Alexander could only watch as Marcus slowly approached him, ready to hunt him down, the terror in the air was felt by all.

(This is strange, the atmosphere in the classroom has changed, I have to find someone to help Alexander, maybe he will really die).

Sophia Bromck, who could also feel the atmosphere in the room, decided to run to the other instructor for help.

[Warning]-[You must defeat the boss is a mandatory mission].

Alexander's phone urged him to fight for his own sake and the pride of his friends and himself.

(Shit, shit, shit, shit, this is bullshit).

Alexander plucks up some courage and gets into a weak fighting position, now it was him against Marcus and he didn't want to lose.

-You're not going to hold back, don't make me laugh, I can take it.

Maybe it was simple bravado, or maybe it was a way to give himself courage, but Alexander's resistance to those words was a declaration that he would not back down.

-You can take it, all right.

[You dodged the attack]

(What, what was that, my body moved reflexively).

A blow so fast that the only way to avoid it was with reflexes, that was Marcus's new speed, who did not hesitate for a second and kicked Alexander.

(Shit, I can see it, I don't have to worry, I can see it)

[You have lost 15% of your maximum health].

At Alexander's blind confidence, Marcus' kick brings him back to reality and manages to hit him in the face with great force.

-What is wrong with you, bitch? You said you were ready, didn't you, weren't you going to beat me?

Marcus, still angry, threw another punch at Alexander, who ducked to avoid it.

[You dodged the attack]

(Shit, if I could use Counter Strike before, using it now is suicide)

-Now you duck like a bum, I can still hit you. -Marcus says as he throws a kick to Alexander's face, who puts his hands to cover.

[The attack cannot be blocked, it is too strong]

Alexander, trying to block the attack, flies into the corner of the room.

[You have lost 10% of your maximum health]

(Shit, shit, shit, shit, I'm supposed to beat this thing? This guy's not human, he's too strong.)

[You have used the item: Healing Candy]

[You have recovered 20% of your maximum health]

[Warning] - [You have no reserves left of the last item you used]

Alexander decides to heal himself and come up with a strategy to win, it was complicated but he had to do it or he wouldn't get out of here alive.

(I can't fight him head on, I can't just sneak up and hit him, let alone run away).

Alexander thought in his mind while Marcus, tired of all this fighting, decided to run after his prey.

-Let's end this once and for all, I'm tired of marrying weaklings like you.

Alexander begins to run around the room at Marcus' words.

(I have a plan, I have to do it, I have to do it, I have to do it,).

Full of confidence, Alexander decides to approach the corner of the classroom, a place he could not run away from.

-Wow, everything tells me that you are stupid at first, did you forget the first time we fought? -Marcus with a smile of victory on his face throws a kick at Alexander that was aimed at his stomach, but….

[You dodged the attack]

Alexander, who crouched down and looked at Marcus, prepared a punch to hit his opponent.

[Critical Hit]

[Your opponent has lost 10% of his maximum defense]

Alexander managed to hit Marcus in the abdomen, who was holding him in pain, this might be his victory, so he prepared the next blow.

(I won, you son of a bitch)

Alexander throws a punch with all his strength to end this fight so he can rest.

-Hey bitch. -But Marcus, who should be in pain, speaks and at the same time throws a knee that hits Alexander's chin.

-You think you can really beat me.

[You have taken critical damage and have lost 40% of your remaining health]

[Warning]-[You have lost all of your life points]

Alexander fell to his knees on the ground as the others could only watch.

[The Miracle Donut item will activate its effect]

[Wait for the effect to activate on the user]

At that moment, when he could be said to be between life and death, Alexander's body recovered thanks to the item he had used.

-I don't believe you.

And at that moment, a memory flashed through Alexander's mind, it was the day he and Richard had met.

-I'm not asking you to believe me, why don't you go?

A younger Richard, who looks 13 to 12 years old, replies to Alexander, who is his age. Richard angrily responds to Alexander's curiosity.

-Well, I don't want to go now, how about I help you get off?

The very young Alexander wanted to help the boy down from a tree that he couldn't seem to get down.

-I didn't ask for your help, besides you're a fat kid, how are you going to get up here?

The very young Richard looked at Alexander with little acceptance of Alexander and his idea to help.

-I'm not fat, this is not fat, my mom says it's muscle.

The very young Alexander says these words to Richard, who looks at him with an expression of pity for poor Alexander, for the lies Alexander's mother had told him.

-The important thing is to get you out of there, so it's time to go up.

After several minutes of Alexander's unsuccessful attempts to climb the tree, he finally made it and climbed to Richard's side.

-See… I told you this was the good try, it is, but let me rest for a… while.

The very young Alexander, tired from climbing, said these words to Richard, who looked at him with disgust.

-Well, Mr. Hero, how are we going to get down from here?

Richard, who already had a little faith in Alexander, decided to ask what the plan was.

-Easy, you just have to jump, the tree is not that high. -The very young Alexander said these words to Richard, who looked at him with fear.

-What, you want us to jump, are you crazy, what if we break something? -Richard, who was afraid of heights, told Alexander how crazy his plan was.

-Easy, easy, take my hand and let's jump together. -The young Alexander said these words with a smile to the young Richard, who had no choice but to hold his hand.

-Now, for you to gain confidence, imagine that we are something.

-Something like heroes of justice?

-Exactly, we are the heroes of justice, on the count of one, two, three, let's go.

They both jump out of the tree and land on the ground without a problem. Which leaves Richard with his eyes wide open.

-See, it was no big deal. -Alexander says to Richard with a smile on his face.

-... Hey, I wasn't really rested, they were making fun of me for being a brainiac, so I went up there to escape.

The very young Richard tells the truth to Alexander, who listens attentively.

-Really, I wish I was a brainiac, I'm very bad at studying, oh all that, what's your name? -Alexander answers Richard and asks him his name at the same time.

-My name? Richard… My name is Richard Reid. And you?

-My name is Alexander Del Ryo, nice to meet you Richard.

They both say their names to each other as they both start to walk to their homes.

-Alexander, huh? -Can I call you Alex? I mean… if you want…" The very young Richard asks apologetically to what seems to be his first friend.

-Hahaha, sure Richard, call me whatever you want, let's go home and rest like the heroes of justice that we are. -The very young Alexander replies to Richard, who is very moved by his words.

-Yes, let's go. -Returning his smile, Richard and Alexander made their way home.

This was the day when a beautiful friendship was born, an irreplaceable friendship, even when they were grown up and separated, Alexander and Richard always wondered from time to time what the other one was doing.

[The effects of the item: A miraculous gift has been placed in your body]

[You have regained 5% of your maximum health]

[Your speed will be greatly increased for 5 minutes]

-Hey Marcus…

Alexander rose from the dead and looked at Marcus with a serious expression, after remembering his story with Richard, he knew what he had to do.

-Why are you doing this? -Alexander put himself into a weak fighting position with the little energy he had left as he asked Marcus this question.

-Why? This bitch is still skinned, it's time to finish this. -Marcus walks over to Alexander and throws a punch to his face to finish him off.

-Why are you like this with us?

[You used the Counter Strike combat skill]

Due to Alexander's increased speed, he manages to hit Marcus right in the face.

[Critical Hit]

[The opponent has lost 10% of his maximum defense].

[Enemy is Paralyzed].

-This is because we are weak!

Alexander began to shout into the room as he threw the next punch at Marcus' face, who couldn't move.

[Critical Hit]

[Enemy is Paralyzed]

-It's because it's fun!!!

[Critical Hit]

[Enemy is Paralyzed]

-YOU SON OF A BITCH, WE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU… !!!!

[Critical Hit]

[Enemy is Paralyzed]

-SO WHY?

Alexander screamed as he punched Marcus in the face again and again.

[Critical Hit]

-YOU SON OF A BITCH….

[Critical Hit]

[CRITICAL HIT]

-I HATE YOU!!!

[Critical Hit]

-I HATE YOU!!!

[Critical Hit]

-I HATE YOU!!!

[CRITICAL HIT] 

[Critical Hit]

[Critical Hit]

[Critical Hit]

At that moment, Sophia Bromck arrived at the classroom with Coach William to find a scene unimaginable to everyone.

(You have to be kidding me) – Sophia looked at the scene with a smile, not believing her eyes.

On the floor was the body of Marcus, unconscious, with a standing Alexander, tears in his eyes.

-Why? This world is like this…" Alexander said these words in tears as he took out his phone to see what it would tell him.

[You have defeated the enemy]

[Mission Completed]
