My Magical System

Chapter 202: Clan Battle Invitation

Eman was just exaggerating. Of course, they would look at him. After all, he barged in at the wrong time.

There were some people he was not familiar with who are currently in the classroom.

He gawked when he noticed that one of them was strangling Faye, his clanmate.

Around them, their classmates were having ashen faces. It was easy to tell that they were intimidated. He also noticed a familiar person standing with those people who were surrounding Faye. He was one of the members of the Redwing Clan that he obliterated. He disregarded that person as he could not do anything against him anyway. After seeing him, he noticed that person turned pale. Probably, remembering the sweet memories of torture.

He had no idea what situation led to the current one. Had Faye had some issues against these people? He asked inwardly. Regardless, as a clanmate, what was the right approach in this situation? It only concerned him if he was to get involved in a turmoil he had no direct involvement. He had no idea of the reason for the current situation.

However, before Eman could say something, he noticed a toothy grin from the person who was currently strangling Faye.

Then Faye’s warning came after. “Deputy, run!”

.....

Hearing it, Eman understood that it wasn’t an issue involving Faye alone.

But before he could turn around and escape, two people were already standing beside him.

‘Fast!’ Everyone’s thoughts. Their hands stretched to grab him. A glint flashed in Eman’s eyes. Before their hands could touch him, he had already disappeared from his position.

A second later, he was behind one of them, grabbing the back of the person’s neck.

“What’s the meaning of this?” He asked in a cold voice disregarding the dumbfounded faces around him.

The other person stopped his attack the moment he disappeared from his position.

“You!” Shouted the person who struggled to free himself from his clutch. However, Eman’s hand was tightly clasping the back of his neck.

“What, you bastard! Release me!” Grunted the person. But Eman’s hand remained.

“Heh! Do you think you have the right to demand?” Eman put more strength on his clasp to suffocate him a little. He could even hear the racing of his heartbeat. But Eman had no sense of pity towards him. He continued increasing his grasp until veins were surfacing on his eyes and face.

Currently, there were five people in the room who he assumed were not from his class.

The one who was strangling Faye had knitted his brows.

“You, do you want your friend dead?” Threatened the person as he shifted from strangling to clasping Faye’s face.

He could feel Faye’s pain from those. The person who was clasping Faye was a man with a considerable build. He stood at an estimated six feet and four inches tall. He had a muscular body and exuded a leadership aura.

The person had a trimmed haircut of blonde color. He must be the leader of this group. Eman thought.

Contrary to everyone’s belief, Eman did not seem provoked by the leader’s declaration. He even strengthened his clasp to the person in his hand.

“Then, I’ll be killing this one also.”

What!?

Everyone seemed to be surprised when they heard his words. He was very different from the guy they used to know. The image of Eman in their minds was someone who easily gets intimidated with a little provocation. However, the current him seems to be so different from the previous one. Though, the reason for it must be his awakening. There were some cases where a person gained self-confidence after they awakened.

Regardless, he was still in the lowest class. So he should know that no matter what he did, there was no way for him to beat these people from the higher class. He should have kowtowed already and get their forgiveness for whatever their clan’s fault towards these people.

“D-Deputy, d-don’t mind me, escaped right away! These people, we can’t do anything about them. They are backed up by an influential family.” Faye tried his best to tell him. “B-Besides, they are from a strong clan, they are the Red Drake clan and this guy in front of me is one of their captains! Ugh!” He added and groaned when the one clasping his face put more power on his hand.

‘So, a captain, huh,’ Eman whispered in mind.

“Fucking noisy stick!” Spat the captain to Faye who was trying his best to free himself. “Regardless, if you want your friend alive, release your hand and be obedient!” The captain demanded Eman.

But, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Eman remained unperturbed. He even strengthened his grip on his hostage. Sticky saliva gushed out from the person’s mouth with his tongue tucked out and tears were flowing from his eyes down to his face.

At this very moment, Eman was pondering, the word Red Drake clan seemed to ring a bell in him, but where did he hear it? It didn’t take him long to remember it.

Right! It was that guy who called himself the son of a baron mentioned in the pub.

Red Drake clan huh. So what was their problem against the Merciless clan who was known as one of the weakest clans? Wait, could it be because of what he did to that guy? Eman wondered if it was the reason that led to this situation. There was a high possibility that it was the reason. If it was, their intel was admirable. It was only yesterday that the incident happened, and yet, they already figured out his identity! But he could also be wrong. Maybe there was another reason for this situation. Especially when his eyes landed on that person from the Redwing clan.

Regardless, how about Herro and the other members of the Merciless clan? Perhaps they were targeted too.

“Okay, I will release your friend if you release my subordinate,” proposed the captain. No matter what, he could not lose a member. At least not yet.

Eman sighed inwardly upon hearing it. Fortunately, this captain wasn’t as cold as he thought he was towards his men.

Eman released his grip. However, after releasing it, “You dumbo!” The other person tried to attack him, but.

“Stop!”

They heard a loud yell that stopped his action. It was coming from their captain.

“Captain, why? I almost got him!” Said the person in an annoyed tone.

“Dumbass! Look below!” Urged the captain.

He followed the captain’s words. When he looked below, he froze on the spot with beads of sweat forming on his face. A hand stabbed, a few centimeters from his stomach! A chill trailed down his spine.

The members of the Red Drake clan decided to leave for now. But their captain announced that the end of the Merciless clan will come soon.

“They are probably going to issue a clan battle against our clan,” said Faye who had just arrived beside him.

“What happened? Why are those guys attacking us?” Eman asked Faye.

“The truth, Deputy sir, I don’t understand as well. Those idiots accused us of being the reason why the Redwing clan was disbanded. Fools! What can a mere F-rank clan do against a B-rank?!” Faye groaned.

Eman fell silent. “So that was the reason huh,” he whispered under his breath.

“Regardless, what was their connection? I mean, it was the Redwing clan who got disbanded, so why is the Red Drake clan taking action?”

“Eh? Because deputy sir, the Redwing clan, and the Red Drake clan were allied.”

“I-I see. So that was the case huh.” That surprised him.

Now, he had a full picture of the current situation. That guy must be the one who sang it. Thought Eman as he glanced at the specific person inside the classroom. The person sank on his seat upon noticing his gaze.

Eman asked Faye when this issue began. Faye told him that it happened just this week. Eman frowned with a cold glint in his eyes.

He asked next if Herro and the others also received an attack. Faye nodded with a downcast face.

After their oral class that morning, Eman and Faye went to their clan barracks directly.

As expected, aside from Paula, the other two had black circles around their eyes. They also noticed some bruises in them.

“Was it the Red Drake clan?” Eman asked Herro who was groaning in pain.

He noticed Herro’s skeptical face. But soon he opened his mouth under Eman’s gaze. “Ugh, y-yes. But don’t mind it, bro. I will find a way to settle it,” he said while tapping Eman’s shoulder to convey to him that there was nothing to worry about as he was fine. He was fortunate that his sworn brother was absent those times. If he wasn’t, he would suffer just like them.

Eman fell silent.

The next day, just as the captain announced. They received a clan battle invitation.

“What the hell are they trying to pull off!” Fatsu bellowed upon reading the letter.
