"What could they be looking for by coming to the cafeteria today?"
"The last time they came here, a third-year awakener was beaten till he was unconscious, and not only were Hansen and his group not punished, but the third had to kneel to apologize to them!"
Some of these students said with a look of excitement and worry as they looked at three students walking into the cafeteria majestically, the one in the middle seemed to garner the attention of the students more.
He was the one being referred to as Hansen, he was almost six feet tall, with the build of a pro boxer, and a good-looking face. The two students besides him were popularly known as his right and left-hand men.
These two did whatever he commanded, and followed him about; however, compared to him, they were even more muscular, like some gorillas, with looks on their expression that scared anyone just by staring at them.
While the cafeteria had become heated and quieter due to their presence, Ragna seemed to be more focused on his food. If there were a way to gulp down the entire food without needing to chew it, he would have done it.
Among the students, he was the only one who seemed not to be affected by the trio's presence, making them turn their attention to him; he was going to be their next scapegoat today.
Some students, realizing the trio seemed to have found their prey, breathed a sigh of relief; however, they couldn't help but feel pity for Ragna at the same time, while some jeered and wondered if he was dumb.
The fact that he was eating and didn't seem to care, while they were inside the cafeteria meant either he was dumb or had enough strength to not be intimidated by them, however, when they realized who it was they thought he was dumb.
'We are definitely fucked!'
The cursed fragment soul in his mind couldn't help but blurt out, when it noticed everyone was paying attention to Ragna, if there was anyone who was most bullied in the academy it would be it when it still had its body, so it was aware of this trio.
They were anything but good people, no one who ever messed with them had an easier time in the academy, except the student was equally powerful or even more powerful.
But it was sure Ragna wasn't there yet, even though it had seen him do a couple of hard exercises it was nothing in front of a real awakener with abilities.
It kept writhing in Ragna's mind like a ghost when it saw the trio coming towards Ragna.
'What the fuck are you still doing? Let's leave the cafeteria immediately! You don't know Hansen and his gang. They are one of the strongest awakeners in the third year, we don't wanna mess with them now!'
The cursed fragment soul said, but Ragna was too busy stuffing himself up to care about anything or anyone other than the food on the table.
The place became quieter and silent, but the cursed fragment soul didn't stop writhing in his mind. Left for it, it would have longed left there already, while it was screaming at Ragna. The place had become quieter and was only filled with the steps of the trio echoing in the environment.
Hansen stood at the front of the table, while his right-hand men stood at Ragna's right and left side. A loud noise immediately resonated in the cafeteria, as the sound of a tray hitting the floor resounded loudly.
Ragna, who was about to take a bite from the meat on the tray, saw that someone had flung his tray of food to the floor. There were almost tears in his eyes when he saw this, because the cafeteria lady wasn't going to give him any more food today.
There was a moment of silence as Ragna stared at his food scattered on the floor, as if to make matters worse he saw the students by his side walk towards the food and stepped on it, making a mess of it.
Ragna felt like his heart was being broken as he watched the gruesome scene.
'That was my only meal for the day!'
Ragna's expression darkened. He had planned on living his days at the academy quietly, without bothering anyone, until he graduated.
But it seems it wasn't going to be as he planned.
"You ruined my food…"
'Fuck the food, the food be damned. Let's make a run before things get even worse.'
The cursed fragment soul said, but was simply ignored.
"Bring the fucker over to me!"
Immediately these words left his mouth, a bone-cracking noise sounded in the silent cafeteria, and then a loud thud followed suit.
The whole cafeteria watched in silence as Galadima, who was standing in front of Ragna, dropped dead on the ground in front of Ragna. No one had any idea what the fuck happened.
'Fucking bastard, you could do that all along?"
Ragna's rage ignited the more he thought about his food being wasted.
"What the fuck just happened?"
"Did Galadima get one-shot? Maybe he was sick before he came to the cafeteria today."
Some students muttered petrified by the shocking scene in front of them. Ragna knelt and held Galadima by his hair, and pulled him as he began to walk towards the stupefied Hansen and Ned.
Hansen stared at the Galadima's bloodied and lifeless face, still processing what was happening.
"My food…"
Ragna seemed to be in a dazed state as he dragged Galadima's body, while walking towards Hansend and Ned.
"That was the only food I have eaten since today, do you know how much I trek to school every day just to fucking eat once a day?"
Ragna muttered these words under his breath like a maniac.
Hansen had always been a bully, but today the bully was going to be bullied. Hansen was the only son of a billionaire who was a popular blacksmith famous for his craftsmanship of weapons.
Because of that, Hansen had always had his way with anything and anyone just by mentioning his father's name; he had also bullied the previous Ragna a couple of times, until he found a new prey.
Immediately, Ragna muttered some words, and he slammed the barely conscious Galadima unconscious on the table where he had once sat. This time, Hansen and Ned came out of their shocked state and rushed towards Ragna.
Hansen had just arrived in front of Ragna, when he saw the light in his eyes blank out for a moment. When he regained consciousness a pair of glowing crimson eyes were staring deeply at him.
Ned, who was about to throw a fist at Ragna, stumbled backward when Ragna glared at him. In both his hands were Hansen and Galadima, who were clearly unconscious and bleeding.
"Did Ned piss on himself?"
A student muttered as the smell of urine came off his trousers
"No, don't hurt me!"
Ned almost screamed, as he fell on his back.
However, Ragna couldn't be satisfied with just that.
"Why should I care? Will you buy me another food?"
Before he could get his reply, he dropped the two students in his hands and slammed Ned's head on the table making a bloody mess.
As the sound of teeth and bones breaking resounded heavily in the deadly quiet cafeteria.
The whole cafeteria, with the cursed fragment soul included, was eerily silent as they watched all of these unfold in fear and shock. Everything seemed to have happened so fast that they couldn't understand anything.
