Chapter 144 Getting Kicked
Roland has grown taller ever since he consumed the two physique potions.
Previously, Kyle was taller than him by an inch, now however, Roland was at least two inches taller than him.
As Kyle tried to push Roland away, he also vaguely felt something different.
Previously, he was able to look down on Roland, now, it was Roland who was looking down at him with an unemotional eye.
Kyle was surprised at this discovery, but his surprise did not stop there.
Argh!
Kyle grunted in silence. His hand that was trying to push Roland back felt as if it pushed a massive and immovable wall instead of a weak human like Roland.
As he kept on pushing Roland's chest, their classmates looked at the strange scene in wonder.
"I-is Kyle actually gay?" one of them could no longer hold back their curiosity and asked with a low tone.
An awkward silence pervaded the air as the question echoed inside the classroom.
With how Kyle was pushing Roland's chest, it indeed looks like he was trying to caress Roland's chest instead in a different perspective.
"Come to think of it. Kyle always liked to act aggressive, could it be that he was just trying to act that way? Could it be that he had finally given in to his true colors after seeing Roland again after the break?"
As the crowd began to murmur, Kyle felt as if he was sitting on a hot pedestal. He definitely wanted attention to himself, but not this way. He was being labeled as gay in front of everyone.
Kyle grunted and with a final struggle, tried to push Roland back with all his might this time.
However, the result remained the same. Roland was still as immovable as a mountain as he continued to look down at Kyle as if he was a clown.
"Why are you touching me like that, are you gay?" Roland suddenly asked after hearing the crowd's murmurs.
Kyle has been the most vocal and the most hot headed amongst Bryan's group of friends. Roland had suffered quite a bit from him before. Now, what was a little tease from him compared to what he had done before?
Even the crowd laughed at Roland's remark this time. Of course, this was also because Roland showed them that he had a brand new phone and that he was no longer his old self.
Even now, they had already unconsciously sided with Roland in this matter.
Hearing Roland's nasty remark, Kyle gritted his teeth in anger. The anger he felt doubled as he felt as if he was an animal at the zoo getting laughed at by the audience.
His face was already green in embarrassment. He did not think that the matter would result this way as he was sure that he could intimidate Roland with just words alone.
However, now that he was already here, he could not back out anymore.
His 'strong' image that he has been building for a long time would be crushed if he backed out at the last second.
"Enough!"
With his anger getting to his head, Kyle could finally no longer take it any longer as he took a step back and threw a punch at Roland's face.
Consequences of his actions have never been in Kyle's dictionary. His father was a known businessman who often sponsored events for the school's activities. At the start of the first semester, he and Bryan even teamed up to beat someone behind the school, after getting reported to the principal, they were only punished with two days of suspension.
Carried along his punch was his anger and embarrassment.
His body weight was carried along with his punch as well.
The crowd's eyes went wide as they saw Kyle's action.
Madison felt horror as he imagined Roland's handsome face getting smacked by Kyle.
Roland, who saw Kyle's action, was only surprised for a moment before his calm returned to him.
Kyle's punch that was as slow as a snail's movements in his eyes, as well as his punch that was full of opening was free for him to see.
With just a light step to the right, Roland was able to avoid Kyle's punch and his body in one motion.
Kyle did not think that Roland would be able to dodge his punch. His figure brushed past Roland uncontrollably as he began to lose his balance.
He tiptoed awkwardly as he tried to regain his control over his body.
However, behind him, Roland has already raised his foot for a kick.
As Kyle was about to regain his balance, he suddenly felt something hard hitting his butt forcefully.
Roland's foot landed on his butt squarely.
The momentum carried by that kick made Kyle stumble in front even further.
He tiptoed a few more times before he finally crashed to the ground face first.
The crowd looked at the situation in surprise and bewilderment.
Everything happened in a split second that they only managed to react after Kyle's face was already in the ground.
Even Madison, who was about to stop Kyle, stopped on her tracks all of a sudden.
Disbelief was written in everyone's face as they stared at Roland and Kyle alternatively.
'A fluke! That must be a fluke!' Kyle could not accept the result.
In fact, not only him, many of their classmates were also thinking the same.
After all, they knew Roland as the quiet kid at the corner of the class who didn't even dare to talk back.
Now, seeing a different Roland, of course, none of them would believe it at first glance and they attributed everything to be just a fluke.
However, reality was often disappointing.
Kyle stood up and endured the embarrassment as he tried to attack Roland again. He did not even bother wiping the dirt on his face as he threw another lousy punch to Roland's face.
Roland clicked his tongue as he saw the incoming punch.
There were just people who didn't learn on the first mistake. They would try the same action to verify if the result was the same.
However, Roland was no longer as kind as before. After his fight with the gang people in Brine City, his ruthless side had already started to awaken.
Getting annoyed by Kyle's action, Roland did not even wait for Kyle's fist to come near him as he sent him flying with a kick to his stomach.
As Kyle's body landed a meter away from him, a pin drop silence echoed in the room as everyone finally realized that everything was not a fluke.
"A-amazing! That's awesome!" Only one voice came from the crowd but everyone's brain was thinking the same thing as they looked at Roland's and his feat.
In their mind, they were already thinking a lot of things.
Is this still Roland that we know?
How could he be so strong?
Is Kyle actually gay?
Kyle sprawled to the ground, not knowing that he was labeled as gay yet again by the murmuring crowd.
The pain he felt on his stomach was so painful that his eyes bulged, and his saliva dripped out of his mouth without him knowing it.
It was fortunate that Roland still decided to hold back, or else, a hole would probably be in Kyle's stomach right now if he did not do so.
