Hero: The Dark Order

Episode 8: Strong

Episode 8: Strong

We finished dinner and I headed straight to bed, I had the strangest dream today, apparently, I now had the power to peer into people’s souls, I could literally look into them and see their deepest darkest secrets, I could literally hear their thoughts when I did this and I could also see a little bit into their future. I had no dreams after that and I simply slept well. I woke up reenergized but I knew what I had to do today, I had to read for the exams tomorrow, I planned to read at super speed since I had not read anything so far. I picked up my chemistry textbook first and oh well, I was not really reading, I already knew everything I was reading in this textbook, I picked up my biology textbook and it was the same case, that was when I realised, Mr Invincible had mentioned that I had all the knowledge in the world, that was probably how I knew all this. I was still reading when Hitoshi came in, he told me he had brought me breakfast in my room since I had not joined the family, I nodded and thanked him. The apple juice he brought tasted really weird but I was appreciative of his efforts. I finished breakfast and he smiled at me weirdly while picking up after him even though I told him I didn’t want him doing that, Hitoshi must have this idea that we were something like brothers or something, he had better chilled, we were just simply friends. Hitoshi left and I begun feeling a little sick, my breath begun to smell like chemicals, I started vomiting, had diarrhoea and my senses started getting clouded. I then noticed I was pooping oil, not actual faeces and immediately after the third time, I was perfectly fine again. I wondered where the greenish looking oil had come from but oh whatever. I stopped reading soon afterwards and just picked up a book, it was Light And Death, from the best selling writer, Al-ameen Jamal Onafeko, my favourite writer of all time. Hitoshi then came in and looked at me with unbelievable shock, he looked at me like he had left me downstairs and met me upstairs and that was when I realised, I was totally fine before Hitoshi brought me breakfast, had he spiked my food, no, it could not have been my food, it was the drink, that would explain why it tasted so weird, I walked up to him and asked him what he had put in in the drink he had given me this morning, he looked at me as dumbfounded as he could and said he had no idea what I was talking about. It was too late though, his look wasn’t confusion, it was fear, and I could hear his heartbeat, it was as fast as a cheetah. I laughed at him and just told him, okay bro, I believe you, I then asked him why he was here, he then mentioned that he wanted to ask me a few physics questions, I asked him what questions he had and he was just empty, he had absolutely nothing to say, he then told me that he would get his physics textbook first, I looked at him oddly and asked him if what he said makes sense to him, he smirked and said of course not, my bad. He was about to leave when I told him to get back here, I had my own textbook right here, he came in and asked me a couple of questions, I answered them but the look I gave him must have greatly terrified him and honestly, I felt like torturing him till he divulged the truth, I continued to educate the conniving bastard as I looked at him in contempt. He finally looked up at me and saw my murderous gaze after a few minutes, I felt his heart rate spike up as he told me that was all, as he got up, to head out, I thanked him for the apple juice this morning, telling him it worked wonders but it appeared that he had also decided to play mind games with me, he simply told me I am happy you loved it bro and stepped out of my room, I clenched my fists in anger, honestly, I was gonna kill this bastard. It was time for lunch and immediately after we had lunch, I told Hitoshi we should spar immediately after lunch and even though he made it clear that he was far from interested, his father instructed him to spar with me immediately after lunch, he groaned okay sir as he looked at me smirking, honestly, I was going to beat up Hitoshi up really bad in the combat room.

We finished eating and we headed into the combat room, escorted by Mr Hitoshi and Mia. We were to begin immediately and as Hitoshi wanted to harm himself, his father forbade him and told him to actually fight like a man, he asked Hitoshi why he could not be brave and courageous like me. Hitoshi frowned and simply looked at me with immense anger, I knew what I was going to do this time, I was really going to humiliate him, I was going to hit him at speeds faster than he could react, I would not hit him with a lot of strength in order to not kill or cripple him, I was just going to beat him up like a baby. I was going to ensure his entire body hurt without making it look like I was holding him in contempt, Mr Hitoshi then told us to start and brought out a stop watch. I ran really fast and slapped Hitoshi’s neck and as he fell, I kicked his leg and elbowed him hardly to the ground, forcing him to hit the ground face flat. I didn’t even give him time to react to the pain from all that, I dragged him by the collar and threw him up in the air horizontally, then, I hit him with a barrage of punches to the stomach, then, I punched both sides of his face and now it was time to give him my triple combo. I kicked the left side of his body and as he was flying to the right side, I reacted immediately and kicked the left side of his body, and as he flew back into the middle, I jumped up, kicked him the chest and sent him into a part of the wall. Mr Hitoshi stood up and blurted out, eleven seconds, that’s how long you could last against him, I thought you would at least last up to a minute since he was greatly holding back, but I guess that you still don’t have what it takes. Mr Hitoshi then tapped my shoulder and said to me, “you did well son”, then, I reminded him I was not his son and pointing to Hitoshi, I told him that was his son, he then tapped me, laughed me and told me oh yeah yeah, I know, but you really are like a son to me, a suggestion I could only laugh at. He then told Hitoshi to learn a lot better from me and headed out but just before he got to the door, I decided to really mess with Hitoshi, I walked up to him and told him to never give up, I told him that he would never get up to my level but that there was no true despair without hope and for that simple reason, he was welcome to keep trying, even though he would always fail and oh yeah, that did work, he totally lost it, he grabbed my neck, put me to the floor and started punching me as hard as he could, I made sure my durability was at its peak and yeah, I gave Hitoshi the pleasure of hurting himself, he hit me with all his strength and soon enough, his hands got bloody and the bones in his hands begun to break. It took only a few more punches for him to get off and simply roll over in excruciating pain, Mr Hitoshi helped me up and asked if I was hurt, I told him no, the punches only tickled, I then looked at Hitoshi and I could see the venomous look in his eyes and I knew it straight off, I had just made an enemy but oh well, it wasn’t like he was actually a friend before all this cause friends don’t try to get their friends dead for absolutely no reason. Mr Hitoshi looked at Hitoshi disgustingly and then, he looked at Hitoshi and told him this words, “if you continue down this path, you will be no better than a villain, I raised you to only fight with honour and…………”. Hitoshi was having none of it though, he pointed at me, then, he shouted out and said honour died when this fool decided to get so powerful, could he not have just been a weak, helpless fool, why did he have to become some STRONG………………………………
