Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 322

Chapter 322: Talia’s First Day
Tina wriggled her nose curiously.

What was that smell?

Tina suddenly stepped into Arit’s personal space, and Arit glared up at the taller girl as she refused to take a step back. Arit knew exactly what Tina was smelling, and Arit smirked at Tina when she saw the look of realization appear on Tina’s face.

That’s right. He fucked me. What are you going to do about it, bitch? He is mine and there is no space for you between us.

That was exactly what Arit was saying with her look, and Tina could easily understand what Arit’s expression was saying. Tina also grinned slightly as she saw the challenge on Arit’s face, and she finally took a step away from Arit with a challenging gaze.

“And here I thought you were a useless trophy I didn’t have to worry about. I guess I was wrong. I’ll take this as you challenging me, so you better be ready.”

Tina’s gaze turned predatory as some of her aura started to leak from her body. The air in the classroom was becoming electrified, and Mark noticed that the hair of some of the students was starting to float from how much static was moving around the room.

Smack!

Mark smacked Tina on the back of her head, and she immediately stumbled forward and held her head in pain as she looked up at Mark with tears in her eyes. What the hell was that for!?

“Don’t start something stupid now. Go to your fucking seat.”

Mark got to his seat and went back to his regular position: his head on the desk and ready to sleep through the next class. Arit ignored Tina as well as she went to sit down beside Mark and brought out her books to start taking notes as the teacher entered the class.

Tina chuckled at Mark’s attitude, and she went to take her own seat. Tina watched Mark sleeping and a perverted smile appeared on her face. Tina had been sitting on Mark’s table since he left the class, and Mark was putting his face right on the same spot her ass had been! As far as she was concerned, even though Arit might have won today, that did not mean that Tina lost either.

…

After school that day, Mark made a call to his godfather while coming out from the principal’s office. He went to tell the principal about Maria leaving for a medical emergency, and the principal was more than happy to give her a pass for the day since Mark was the one who came to tell him. Arit was following behind Mark while holding his free arm, and as they came outside, a new Vanitas Aventador screeched to a halt right in front of them. Mark thanked his godfather over the phone and cut the call. The man driving came down and bowed.

“Your car, Mr. Vanitas. Your godfather, Mr. Hector, instructed me to tell you that this is the latest model S that has not been released to the public yet. If you do not like it, then we can make any modifications that you want and bring a new one to you by tomorrow. Do you wish for me to go and retrieve your other car?”

Mark waved him away and told him that he did not need to do that. Mark was going to leave the car with Maria. He knew that it was Arit’s fault that Maria got injured, so it was only right that he gave her something as an apology. That car should be enough for an apology.

Mark asked the man if he had a way to get back, and the man nodded as another lower-class Vanitas car came in to pick him up. Mark thanked the man, and the man bowed respectfully before leaving in the lower-class car.

Mark and Arit got into the car and drove off, but they never noticed Turner looking at them from the other side of the parking lot where he and Tina were getting into their own red Vanitas car. Turner narrowed his eyes at the new model Vanitas and wondered what happened. That wasn’t the car that Mark came to school with this morning.

“Hey, get in. I want to go get some sleep. This is not what I thought we would go through when they said we had to start investigating in a school; being a student is fucking tiring.”

Tina groaned as she entered the driver’s seat, and Turner hummed as he opened the passenger seat and entered. Turner slowly tuned Tina out as he heard her constantly complaining about how irritating school was and how it was a waste of social funds, and a new thought suddenly came to his mind and his eyes narrowed.

I didn’t see that Maria girl after school anymore. Where the hell did she go?

…

Mark parked his new car in front of the Light Academy building and watched as Talia came towards the car from across the street. Mark narrowed his eyes as he noticed that Talia was no longer wearing the ribbons that Arit put in her hair. Talia’s head was bowed and she had an obvious frown on her face as she opened the car door and entered. She dropped her teddy to the side with a huff before turning to look out the window.

Mark raised a brow and turned to give Arit a curious look. Arit was also confused and she shook her head as she turned around to look at Talia.

“Hey, Talia. How was school today?”

Talia huffed but stayed silent, and Mark immediately became more worried as his eyes narrowed into a glare. If someone did something to Talia, someone was going to get fired. Mark finally spoke up.

“Talia. Tell me what happened.”

Talia looked like she still didn’t want to talk, but Mark’s tone did not leave any room for argument, and she slowly turned around and pouted at Mark and Arit while telling them about what happened in school that day.

After Mark and Arit left the school earlier, Talia was able to get to class easily, and she was introduced to the rest of the class as a new student by a nice female teacher who was always smiling. The students all seemed nice at first, and Talia almost made a friend in class. A girl sitting next to her was really nice to her.

But during recess, another group of girls came up to Talia and started picking on her for no reason. They said that it was childish to be carrying a teddy around and they called her a baby for having ribbons on her hair.

Talia told them to go away! Her teddy wasn’t childish! But the girls seemed to be having fun calling Talia a baby. To them, they were just having fun, but Talia felt very angry anytime someone insulted her teddy, so she was not enjoying it at all!

“Hey, stop picking on her. Do you think it’s funny?”

Another person suddenly spoke up and came towards them. It was a boy with white hair and red eyes that reminded Talia a lot of the villains in the anime she always watches. He was trying to stand up for her, but Talia didn’t even hear anything that he was saying. Talia was already too far gone in her anger. She thought that this school would be different. She thought that since all of them had powers, she would be able to make some friends and hang out with them.

Even the girl that was sitting beside Talia before was no longer looking at her. The girl was looking away like a coward and leaving Talia at the mercy of the bad girls who came after her.
