Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Are You Sure?
Talia immediately decided that enough was enough. She wasn’t going to allow some stupid kids to ruin her time in school!

“Ohh, James, are you standing up for her? Is she your girlfriend~!”

One of the girls that was bullying Talia started to taunt the boy who came around to help her, but before the boy could even open his mouth to respond, a massive teddy bear slammed into all of them.

“Argh!”

The boy shouted as the teddy bear pushed him to the ground along with all the other girls, and he raised his head to look at the terrifying bear that was glaring down at them. Talia was standing with her head bowed as she glared at her feet, and the boy immediately shouted at her in anger as he realized that she was also attacking him!

Did this idiot not know that he was just trying to help her!?

“Shut up! Sniff~! All of you should just shut up!”

James immediately stopped trying to reprimand her as he saw that she was crying. He dropped the fist that he had raised and watched with a look of confusion on his face as she roughly cleaned her eyes while walking away.

Talia escaped to the bathroom on her own and buried her face into her knees while sitting on the floor. Why was she crying? She thought she was already over her grandfather’s death!

Immediately that girl called that boy James, Talia couldn’t hold back her tears anymore as she suddenly remembered that her grandfather was no longer with her and she started crying.

‘Why does that stupid boy have the same name as grandfather?’

Talia reached up to her ribbon and pulled it off in anger before stuffing it in her pocket. Stupid ribbon! Stupid classmates! Stupid school! She hated all of it!

Mark was still staring straight ahead as he listened attentively to what Talia was saying.

After recess was ended, Talia’s teacher came around and coaxed her out of the bathroom. The teacher helped her to clean her tears and made sure that she was okay before she apologised for what happened. But the teacher also told her that she should not have attacked the students like that.

She made the girls apologize to Talia and also made Talia apologize to the students that she attacked with Teddy.

The boy, James, was frowning as he looked away from Talia, and even when Talia apologized to him, he still refused to look at her. Instead, he huffed and turned away. Talia glared at him for ignoring her apology and threw a book at his head, and the boy immediately went mental as he tried to attack Talia himself!

It was a very interesting first day.

Mark didn’t even know how to react to all that. He knew that the girls were the ones who caused all the problems in the first place, but Talia was also at fault for attacking them with her teddy for something trivial. Her teddy was an A-rank superhuman and it could have really hurt those kids if they weren’t able to handle it. But the person that Mark was most disappointed in was the teacher. What the hell were they doing? Aren’t the teachers meant to look out for the students and make sure things like these don’t happen? Especially since they all had powers that could harm others seriously?

Talia could see the slight disappointment in Mark’s expression and she thought that Mark was disappointed in her. Was Mark going to pull her out of school just because of this? She didn’t want to leave school. Even though it was not the best first day, she still had fun in class.

“I’m sorry.”

Talia cleaned her eyes with the back of her hand as tears fell, and she apologized through the sniffs and hiccups that came out. Mark’s eyes widened as he realized that she thought he was angry at her. Fuck, was his face that readable?

“Oh, no, no, Big Brother isn’t disappointed in you. You don’t need to apologize.”

Arit immediately climbed into the back seat to sit with Talia. She brought Talia to her chest and Talia buried her face in Arit’s chest as she cried a little. Arit held Talia close and made sure that she had stopped crying before she brought her away from her chest and helped her to clean her cheeks. Talia pouted as Arit pinched her cheek and she shook her head at Arit. Arit smiled down at her and spoke.

“We aren’t disappointed in you Talia. It was your first day, so we knew it would be difficult. You should have seen Mark’s first day in our class. He almost got into three fights on the same day. I’m sure it will get a lot better.”

“Oi, who got into fights? Those guys just kept trying to mess with me cause they thought it made them look cool. I can’t really call that a fight.”

Talia chuckled as she heard Arit throwing Mark under the bus and Mark lashing back with a sound of betrayal. Talia turned to look at Mark and she saw Mark smiling at her.

“You did good, Talia. I’m proud of you.”

A small blush rose on Talia’s cheek and she pressed her face into Arit’s chest to hide it from Mark. Arit chuckled at Talia’s shyness while petting her head gently. Arit turned to the front and she saw that the smile on Mark’s face was gone. Instead, it was replaced with a look of cold fury. It was obvious that a teacher from the school was going to be getting a visit from Mark very soon. And they were not going to like it.

…

On the other side of the parking lot, a white car parked in front of the school and waited as a boy came out from the school and entered the passenger seat of the car. The boy had a frown on his face and the man in the driver’s seat immediately noticed it.

The man driving had black hair and eyes. He was Greg, the superhuman from the NSA that James asked to take care of Talia if he could. Greg looked at his son curiously, and when he noticed that the boy was not going to tell him what happened, he decided to ask.

“What happened, James? You look like someone put their hand in your lunch.”

James huffed at his father.

“That was a terrible joke, Dad. And it wasn’t anything like that. There was this new girl in class that was getting picked on. I tried to help her out, but she ended up attacking me together with the bullies without even thinking. Girls are so stupid! And she didn’t even apologize herself! She only apologized because the teacher told her to!”

Greg’s brow rose as he saw that this was a serious issue. What the hell were the teachers doing in that school? They should have cut this in the bud before it got this far out of hand. Greg asked James what the girl’s name was and he was immediately shocked when he heard her name.

“Talia? As in Talia Dragonheart? Are you sure that was her name?”
