Blood Assimilation

"You little brat! Secured everything? Where are your energy recovery potions? Where is your sleeping kit? Why do you have all kinds of weapons, what do you need them for, huh? Are you seeking death?" Instructor Liu questioned. 

"What are you talking about, teacher Liu? Don't you know that a real man does need those energy recovery potions? All I need are my weapons. As long as I have stamina, I can still grind— I mean, defeat those beasts easily for points. Besides, those energy recovery potions are too expensive for me. As for the Sleeping kit, who needs those? Only weaklings would bring those kinds of things. I can simply find some cave to sleep in." Lin Feng said wholeheartedly with a serious face. 

The instructor's expression twisted in anger and then furiously said: "You useless brat! Did you not listen when I gave out the instructions during class the other day?" 

"Well, I was so sleepy at the time, so maybe?"

"You little bastard! Then what are those for?"

"What do you mean?"

"What are those books for, huh? You had money to spend on those but not on the necessary equipment and items?"

"Books? Wait, don't tell me… Ah, my treasure. I thought I hid those very well in the hidden pocket in my bag. How did you…?" 

"Degenerate brat! I am confiscating these."

"No— I spent my entire allowance on those! Teacher, I beg you, please…"

"Incorrigible brat! Get out of my face. Such a disgrace to our renowned academy. You are banned from this trip."

"No, you can't do this to me. My mother would kill me if she found out that I couldn't participate in this special training."

"Then you should've thought of that when you brought these obscene books that would only cause distraction among your fellow classmates. Now, get out of my sight!"

"Ahhhh, please give it back at least. No, please forgive me. I really have to participate this time. Otherwise my father—"

"Fuck off!" 

"Ugh!"

"Next person in line!

Randy calmly walked forward as he looked at the other student who was kicked out of the way by the instructor with pity. 

'This guy is quite fearless to bring something like that on this trip. Now that I look at him closely, wasn't he one of the students who was loudly jeering at me when I was called to receive my statistical results at that time? The one that said they had a 60 for their physical strength or something?'

He inwardly commented in realization as he turned his gaze away from this fellow classmate.

"What the fuck were you looking at, loser?" Lin Feng angrily said when he noticed that Randy was looking at him with a pitiful gaze.

At this point, he was sitting on the ground after being kicked by the instructor.

"…"

Randy did not say anything in response and only approached the instructor who was waiting for him with a complex expression. 

When Lin Feng realized that the other party was ignoring him, he was instantly furious and shouted on the side. 

"Fuck! Trash like you dared to ignore me now. You were nothing but a loser until recently. You think just because you awakened your ability, you can now act arrogant in front of me. Tsk!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said in an angered tone.

At this point, Randy was in front of the instructor, so he proceeded to take out all equipment and items that he brought in front of the instructor's eyes. 

As for the disgruntled classmate, he did not pay any attention to him because there was no need to care about someone like him who until recently bullied him along with the others. 

Although, he almost lashed out at him for calling him names just now, because he had not forgotten how much he had suffered due to guys like him who look down on others just because they had awakened their ability earlier. 

But ultimately, he held back his emotions as he did not find it worth it to do something so stupid at this place. 

Nevertheless, he found his current mindset a bit frightening since he always felt like killing these people whenever he sees their faces nowadays. 

Or more precisely, he had always harbored these feelings deep down but never actually acted on them because he was too weak to do anything about them.

But now that he had the power to act on his feelings, it was ever so tempting. 

But he had to think about the consequences and thus, just like that, he gave up on those thoughts for now. 

At this point, the instructors had finished checking his stuff and then he suddenly picked up an item, which looked like a big book, and then showed it to him. 

And then he questioned: "What is this? Why can't I open it? Don't tell me you also…"

The instructor narrowed his gaze and then looked at Randy suspiciously.

'This fucking brat! You have humiliated me earlier in front of your classmates. I was wondering how to pay you back. But now, you just brought yourself to me. I didn't think you were also an idiot like that Lin Feng.' 

Randy appeared surprised by his instructor's words and then looked at the book in front of him.

Noticing his surprised expression, Instructor Liu was certain about his assumption, grinned widely, and then spoke in reprimanding tone afterward.

"Randy Smith! I didn't think you were such a lecherous brat! To think that you brought this kind of book on the trip to the military base. Are you not afraid of being beaten to death by the commander of the base? From now on, I am confiscating this, and you're no longer allowed on the bus. Go home!" He shouted.

Due to him raising his voice, everyone on the bus also heard this and they all turned their gaze towards the person that was being reprimanded.

"What is going on? Isn't that Randy, the loser? Wait, I guess he is not a loser anymore since he awakened his ability."

"Hmph! So what if he is not a loser. He is still trash for bringing a lewd book on the school trip."

"Eh? But are we sure that it is a lewd book? I mean, the cover may look rugged but isn't that one of those grimoires?"

"What grimoire? Isn't that just a box that looked like a book? And also, why would a grimoire look so dirty? I bet he used that to store his collections of lewd books or something."

Randy heard his classmates talk away without even bothering to lower their voices with a displeased expression.

He then turned to face instructor Liu with a fierce expression before saying in a slightly annoyed tone: "Teacher Liu, I don't know what you think that book contains, but I tell right now since you seemed to be misunderstanding something here.. That is a grimoire that I bought recently, and I was originally planning on learning the contents during the trip so please give it back to me."
