Chapter 38

"I can assure you that if you plan on assisting them, you will suffer the same fate... If you think it’s a bluff, stand up from your bed," Gustav warned with a smirk.

The boy shut his mouth after hearing that and sat on his bed properly without the intention of standing up.

Based on what he had seen here he knew that he had no chance against Gustav. Also, he felt Whali brought this upon himself so why would he join him to partake of his suffering.

Even though he didn’t completely agree with what was going on, he decided to sit down silently and watch, same as the other boy.

"That’s for the left arm now let’s move to the right," Gustav brought his focus back on Whali who was still whimpering in pain.

Whali stared at Gustav with a look of unwillingness as he tried wrestling himself out of Gustav’s grip again but it was of no use.

Gustav held Whali up with his right hand now and used his left hand to clench Whali’s left arm.

Krryykk!

Another round of screaming started again.

-

Several minutes later Whali was on hanging from the ceiling with a rope.

His hands were tied behind his back and as his body loosely hung above the ground.

His clothes were pulled off and he was currently wearing white panties.

There were red marks all over his body and his expression depicted that he had gone through hell.

Even if he wanted to use his bloodline at this moment he couldn’t due to the beating he had received.

Also, it would be pointless since he would just be beaten to submission again.

Whali’s eyes slightly opened wider and he stared at Gustav like he was looking at a demon.

"Now, do you still want my bed?" Gustav stared into his dim eyes and asked with a threatening gaze.

"N-no, p-pl-ea-se le-t m-e g-o," Whali begged.

"Alright, I’ll let you go but you have to understand that my service isn’t free," Gustav said with a smile.

"Serv-ice?" Whali questioned with a look of confusion.

"Yes, service... I spent more than thirty minutes teaching you manners do you think I wouldn’t receive payment for that?" Gustav said with a solemn look.

Whali felt like he was going to pass out again from hearing Gustav’s words.

’This is the most shameless bullying I have ever seen,’ He felt just Gustav’s words were enough to anger even the devil.

"Come on don’t waste my time," Gustav voiced out again.

"Ho-w mu-ch?" Whali forced this question out of his mouth.

"Not very expensive, twenty thousand rad should do!" Gustav replied.

"Acck, twe-nty thou-sand rad?" Whali felt like he didn’t hear properly.

"Are you going to pay or what? Mind you I have a recording of you hanging from the ceiling," Gustav whispered into the ears of Whali whose eyes widened upon hearing that.

"If you want I can post it on the net, I’m sure you’ll get lots of views and likes," Gustav said and turned around.

"I agree! I just need to transfer it to you," Whali quickly shouted out to stop Gustav from walking away.

"Ah, you’ve made me spend too much time in trying to convince you, the price has gone up to thirty thousand now," Gustav said while shrugging.

Whali nearly had a mental breakdown upon hearing that.

"But...but.." Before he could complete his sentence Gustav cut him short.

"If you keep arguing the price will keep increasing... Are you sure you want that?"

Whali quickly stopped arguing and agreed to the new price again.

Gustav nodded and let him down.

The transaction was done and Gustav had gained another thirty thousand rad.

Gustav allowed Whali and his friend Dojar to use healing pills.

"By the way, you all are free to tell everyone what happened here... Tell them, both of you were beaten up by trash," Gustav laughed lightly and stepped out of the room.

It was already time for students to gather in the multipurpose hall.

Every floor was very large so each one had a hall but this floor’s hall wasn’t the one that was going to be used.

They would be using the hall that was located on the hundredth and fiftieth floor which was where Gustav was headed right now.

He already left the boys in the room to their thoughts. He wasn’t bothered because he knew they wouldn’t even have the guts to mention what happened there, in the public.

While heading there Gustav saw a notification appear in his line of sight once again.

--------------------------

Gustav smiled as he traveled towards the hall.

’Looks like dealing with idiots always comes with rewards,’

--

Inside a large and luxurious-looking hall, teenagers in different outfits could be seen streaming in.

They moved in groups as they walked into the hall. Those wearing the same color of outfits were moving in together.

These were students from different schools in nearby cities that were also invited to participate in the exchange event.

Students from the same schools sat around one another so it was like a bundle of colors packed together making the hall look a certain kind of unique way.

Gustav sat amongst this large crowd of course.

The principal of Atrihea city high school walked to the podium to address the students.

He first welcomed them to the Atrihea city and proceeded to explain how the event was going to be for the next three days.

The students from other schools were going to tour the city and also tour Atrihea city high school the next day.

The day after, they were going to be exchanging knowledge on different subjects and topics.

Although it was called exchange of knowledge, in reality, it was actually a quiz based on the knowledge and intelligence of the students.

Calling it an exchange was a way of covering up the true meaning.

The third day which was the final day was when the duels were going to take place.

The students were pretty much very excited to hear about all this but they didn’t expect that there would be also exchanging knowledge.

’Which students can I pick to represent us in the exchange of knowledge?’ Principal Erwin who was seated behind the podium along with other dignitaries was thinking hard about this.

The truth was when it came to knowledge on normal subjects, the mixed-blood students of Echelon Academy in class weren’t very good at this.

Unfortunately no Slarkovs or Human came with them.

Only mixed-bloods from class attended this exchange event. Most of these mixed-bloods only cared about how to increase their strength and were hardly concerned with studying.

Obviously, principal Erwin didn’t think that something like this would happen if he did, he would have brought along students that weren’t only muscle brained.

The principal of Atrihea city high school kept speaking about some other things for a few minutes before leaving the podium.

A round of applause resounded as he walked back to his seat.

The vice-principal came on the stage and announced the names of the schools participating in the exchange event.

There were up to twelve schools participating in the event. Two happened to come from Plankton city which was Echelon Academy and Black rock schools.

The rest of the schools were: Cheryl High, Brair Bullet High, Eagle wings high, Reflection academy, Mount Eve high, e.t.c. All of these schools were from neighboring cities.

They were about a thousand students present in the hall at this moment.

After the vice-principal finished announcing the list of schools participating in the event, he mentioned the time that students were supposed to gather for the tour and how they were going to be grouped.

Since they wanted students from other schools to mingle with one another, they decided that students from different schools would be grouped together.

Gustav just listened from his current position while yawning occasionally. He wasn’t even interested in the exchange event anymore.

He wasn’t only a bit interested in seeing different parts of the city.

After a few more minutes, the meeting ended and students were permitted to return to their rooms.

Of course, they were also free to wander around the vicinity.

The students left the hall in droves.

Gustav was walking within the large crowd when he heard his name.

"Gustav Oslov come to the east side of the hall!" A loud voice announced.

The students of Echelon Academy recognized this voice. It belonged to principal Erwin.

His voice was louder than a mega speaker which was why it reverberated across the entire hall.

This was Principal Erwin’s bloodline ability at work. He could amplify sound multiple times if he wanted to.

’Tch, what does he want?’ Gustav was irritated by being called out like that and being referred to as Oslov.

The students from other schools were already wondering who this Gustav was for him to be called out like that. They had no idea what he was being called for but they felt he had to be a big shot.

Only the students of Echelon Academy were shocked and confused at principal Erwin’s call. They wondered why principal Erwin would want to meet with the well-renowned trash of their class.

A girl with long black hair had an uncomfortable look after hearing Gustav’s name. She seemed to be moving with a group of friends earlier but paused in her tracks upon hearing his name.

"What are you doing Yuhiko? Let’s go," One of the girls around her brought her out of her thoughts by calling out to her.

"So-rry, let’s go," She muttered in a low tone and proceeded to keep moving with her friends.

Gustav had to turn around and start heading back into the hall after hearing the call.

He was practically moving against the current since everyone was heading out but surprisingly no one made contact with him till he got to his destination.

He arrived at the east side of the hall and noticed Principal Erwin and vice-principal Mark waiting by the side.

The principal seemed to have a look of relief when he saw Gustav walking towards them.

Gustav arrived in front of them and stared at Principal Erwin with an aloof look.

"What did you call for me principal Erwin?" Gustav asked in a cool tone.

"Good thing you’re here Gustav," Principal Erwin started by saying.

"As you must have heard, there will be an exchange of knowledge the day after tomorrow... That is what they called it but I’m sure someone as smart as you are must have figured that it’s just another competition," Principal Erwin added.

"What exactly are you getting at Principal Erwin? Please go straight to the point," Gustav demanded with an irritated expression.

Principal Erwin gave a wry smile and continued speaking, "We hardly have any good student who can represent us so we’re hoping you can take our beloved school into account and be the main student who represents Echelon Academy for the exchange of knowledge,"

Gustav stared at the principal, then at the vice-principal before staring at the principal again.

"Why should I represent the school? I’m a useless trash after all," Gustav asked with a look of confusion.

"You’re not trash Gustav, we all know that none of the other students are academically as bright as you are... Please don’t let our school name be dragged into the mud during the knowledge exchange, we need to maintain our prestige. The other schools will not let us hear the end of it if our school comes last. They will not hesitate to poke fun at us, so please we implore you to represent the school," Principal Erwin proposed once again after a lengthy explanation.

Gustav stared at him for several seconds with a poker face, causing the atmosphere to be awkward.

"No! I’m trash," Gustav turned him down and turned around to leave.

"This trash will mess up your glorious school even more so you should pick one of those students who are not considered trash," Gustav started walking away after saying that.

"Wait," Principal Erwin called out to him.

Gustav paused his steps and turned his head around to stare at him.

"What can I do to make you represent the school? Is there something you want?" Principal Erwin asked.

Gustav smirked internally, ’So many things... Sadly my hands are tied here,’ he recalled something while speaking internally.

"I’m not interested," He replied and turned around to leave.

The principal wanted to call out to him again but Gustav had already disappeared into the distance after walking at a very quick pace.

The vice-principal had a look of displeasure on his face.

"Can’t we just force him?" Vice-principal Mark proposed.

"I’m afraid we can’t even lay a finger on him," Principal Erwin said with a defeated expression.

"What do we do now principal Erwin?" Vice-principal Mark asked.

"We have no choice but to pick from the long list of mixed-bloods that came with us... Let’s pick those who don’t have very bad grades in other subjects," Principal Erwin sighed after he finished speaking.

-

Gustav had left the hall at this moment and was heading back to his room.

He snickered internally as he remembered what happened a while ago.

’All of a sudden I’m no longer trash now that y’all need me... Hypocrites!’ Gustav had the urge to laugh till he was rolling on the ground.

’Fools, I would have made y’all spend some money if not for my bet with miss Aimee,’ Gustav said internally with a big grin plastered across his face.

"Gustav?" An excited feminine voice called out to him from the side of the corridor.

Gustav turned to look at the person who had called him.

He sighted a gorgeous female leaning on the glass walls at the right side. She had silver and pink shoulder-length hair with two small horns protruding out of her forehead.

She was clad in a black sports outfit making her figure look extremely athletic and attractive.

"Fancy meeting you here," Gustav smirked as he walked towards her.

"Angy,"

"Gustav,"

Both of them voiced out at the same time as they approached each other.

Angy face glowed up, "I knew it was going to be you when I heard that name," she voiced out with a look of excitement.

"Oh, I see... For someone who’s meeting a student from an opposing school, you seem rather excited," Gustav said.

"Ahn, well..." Angy’s face turned a shade of red as she joined her palms together.

"Is there any reason why you waited for me here?" Gustav asked.

"Huh? Is there supposed to be a reason?" Angy asked with a confused but cute expression.
