Highschool Life

Chapter 15: A Girl With a Past

The Vortex members clapped and cheered for Terry and Marvin, but with a feeling wanting to know who was stronger, they started the power level between them.

"Marvin has great technique with his feet, but close quarters didn't suit him until he changed stances," Vortex Member 21 said.

"But Terry easily deflected them with quick succession of his Battle IQ and amazing hand-to-hand combat," Vortex Member 32 replied.

"Damn, being street fighters without proper training and using their instincts is amazing," Vortex Member 5 said with astonishment.

"That's why they're the second in command, and Terry is a long-time member of Vortex. Alexander, who fought more than us, even they cannot defeat him," Vortex Member 10 replied with a pondering look.

With Vortex Member 10 thinking about it as he recalls all the fights that Alexander did, he theorized that their leader has not released his true potential during his fight with Erwin due to the power scale between them.

"Haha, this sure is fun." Alexander began to talk to Erwin, but he was silent as Alexander patted him on the back.

"We still have half of the month; let's make unforgettable memories with her and enjoy ourselves with the mind to protect our school and Crystal."

Erwin nodded as they got used to their new base and headquarters. Erwin looked around but could not find Crystal around the base, asking the Vortex members if they saw her and saying that she was outside, going somewhere to the left side of the building. Erwin, who is worried, began sprinting and headed to find her, and as he kept running while trying to look for her, he made it to a local area with people bumping into him from running and angering a local delinquent group from a different school as Erwin fell.

"Hey! What the fuck did you do that for?!" Shouted at him, Erwin ignored him and stood up, but two of his gang members blocked his way.

"Hey, fucker! Our boss's talking to you-"

Erwin threw a palm strike right onto his chin, making one of them faint, and a follow-up left-hook to the other guy.

Giving a fiery gaze at them, "Don't even dare stop me." All of them were stiff and hesitant except the leader.

"Motherfucker, he's just a nobody who learned how to fight through social media! fucking weak, you fucker-"

Erwin took the chance to hit him with a brazilian kick, hitting him on the left side of the neck, making the overconfident leader faint due to the extreme power that he put in.

"Saying that word doesn't make you stronger; true strength comes from power, not words."

He started running again to find Crystal, leaving the rest of the group with new trauma in their minds. While running for a few minutes searching every corner, he couldn't find her until Erwin heard something and people surrounding an area. Without much thought, he checked, and Erwin was infuriated by what he saw with limited visibility.

"Look at this weak piece of shit!"

Crystal was on the ground, lifeless, with the girl replying, "Just one slap and a reality check made her drop dead, haha!"

"Sammy, let's leave her-"

"This bitch is leeching off Vortex's Leader and that guy named Erwin who became friends with him! I wanted to date him yet this bitch stole the thunder, ha!"

"Sammy, we should go, let's not mess with her anymore-"

"Jessica, can't you see the benefits of joining Vortex?! You get powerful guys to protect you!"
