BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55: Amusement Park Part 3
55 Amusement Park Part 3
"Ya… but, you know you didn\'t have to do that…" Ray said, bringing his hand out of his pocket revealing a black metallic glove on his right hand.
"I had it all under control," Ray said as 5 strings extended from each finger.
"It\'s my newest invention. It\'s a really strong, thin metallic string that extends from each finger of my glove. If you look really closely, you can see that each string is rapidly vibrating. I made them vibrate in order to add more power and make it more durable. I\'ve been practicing quite a lot with this in my free time. I can control the strings using my weak telekinesis allowing me to do some really cool things. I was planning on wrapping my string around his arm, breaking it before he got the chance to hit me. But, I guess you beat me to it," Ray said with a chuckle, moving the threads of string in the air using his telekinesis.
Suddenly, after Ray finished his explanation, Alex could not help but start laughing out loud.
"Hahahahhaaha! Bro! That\'s awesome! If I knew that, I would have just spectated and watched you do your thing! It just makes my blood boil every time I see someone getting bullied or oppressed for no reason at all. I guess I acted a little too hasty, " Alex said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Ah ah. You don\'t need to apologize" Ray said, shaking his head.
"I appreciate your help. It\'s comforting to know that you have my back, " Ray said with a smile.
Moby\'s head was spinning in confusion trying to take in everything that just happened.
"Oh, and Moby. I know you were trying your best to help. But, with your level of power, it would be impossible. So, don\'t even worry about it," Ray said with a smile.
Moby nodded at Ray with a smile trying to hide his inner turmoil. He understood that Ray had good intentions with his words.
\'What the fuck! I\'ve never seen Alex so mad about anything in my life! And, I never knew Ray was such a savage. He just casually talked about breaking that man\'s arm! Maybe they are not as pure and innocent as I thought,\'Moby thought.
"By, the way. Is that man still alive? Don\'t get me wrong, I don\'t really care much for him at all. I just don\'t want you to get into any unnecessary trouble," Ray asked.
"Don\'t worry. He\'s still alive..."
"Barely," Alex added with a chuckle.
"Anyways, we should get back into the line, I asked the girl that was behind me to save me my spot," Alex said.
"Nice thinking!" Moby replied.
After a few seconds of walking, they finally reached where Alex once was.
"Hey, Thank you for saving a spot for me and my friends! I really appreciate it!" Alex said.
"No problem! No problem at all!" The girl replied with a smile.
The 3 boys were still really far back at the end of the line, It would still take at least an hour to an hour and a half for them to finally get a turn on the ride.
After 20 minutes of waiting, Moby noticed a pattern. The line would move every 10 minutes.
Moby used this opportunity to complete his daily quest and train his "Eyes of Sin" while he waited as it was the only skill that he could train without drawing too much attention. He told Alex and Ray that he was really tired and needed a little nap as an excuse for why he\'s doing what he\'s doing.
\'Even at moments like this you still think about training. I commend you. Maybe you really are the biggest training junkie,\' Avilia thought with a chuckle.
******************************
1 hour later…
Suddenly, while Moby was recovering his energy using "Nature\'s Stimulation" he felt a little nudge tug onto his right hand, throwing off his focus, as a result, cancelling his skill.
\'FUCK! 5 more damn seconds and I would have finished! This is the second time something like this happened to me! Who the fuck did that!\' Moby inwardly cursed.
Then, Moby turned around only to find the brown-haired girl tugging on his right sleeve.
"Ummm… Hey… I\'m so sorry for bothering you… But, I just wanted to tell you that…"
"I really like you and think your amazing!" She said, holding tightly onto Moby\'s arm.
Moby inwardly cringed at what he just heard, pulling his arm away from her grasp.
"Ummm… I\'m sorry… Do I know you? Have we ever met before?" Moby said with a poker face, trying to hide his disgust.
"Ummm, ya. I go to the same school as you," She said, showing the back of her watch which didn\'t allow Moby to see her power level.
"We have never met or talked before, but I really admire and like you. I heard about all your achievements, how you are a really kind and hardworking person. How you managed to be the strongest person in your class in terms of abilityless combat despite your lack of ability." She said with a flushed red face.
Moby looked behind him to notice if Alex and Ray were listening in on their conversation. They were definitely not paying attention to their conversation. Sadly, both of them looked really bored, tapping away at their phone with earbuds in.
\'Shit, it would have been nice if they saved me here, I have no demon energy, even if I wanted to do something, I can\'t.\' Moby thought.
"I heard that that bitch Jayden Griffith forced you into being her pet. I heard that she abuses and rapes you on the daily. It\'s disgusting, " The girl said in an angry tone.
"Wouldn\'t it be better…"
"If she was"
"Dead," The girl asked in an ominous tone.
"You got it all wrong, it\'s honestly not as bad as you think, and of course it would not be better if she were dead, " Moby said in a serious tone hiding his inner rage and disgust.
Moby wouldn\'t even dream about killing Jayden. Even if it was a joke. When he heard her talk about killing her, it was like a blood vessel burst from his head. Every fibre of his being was telling him to kill the girl right in front of him.
But, somehow, he managed to control himself. His common sense would not allow him too. Moby could not expose his true power in this situation. And, even if he could, he had no demon energy to do so. All he could do now is find out more information about the girl in front of him and keep an eye on her to see if she does anything shady or attempts anything on Jayden.
Moby didn\'t want to kill her with no evidence on what she did or plans to do.
He did not want to kill or torture people that have not fucked with him in any way, which at this point was very few.
If he did, he would be no better than all those bullies and assholes that tortured him in the past. Like, Nathan...
First, he tried to identify her by using his inspect skill only to find that it would give him only question marks.
\'What the fuck! Either she has an item that allows her to conceal her identity, or she is just really strong!\' Moby thought in turmoil.
\'So, if the cheating way won\'t get it done, then I will have to try the old fashioned approach," he thought.
"Ummmm… what\'s your name? It seems like you already know mine, it\'s only fair you tell me yours," Moby asked with a smile.
"Sorry… I can\'t really give you my name right now… But, we are in the same year and we are both in the combat division. I\'m sure we will meet soon enough. Then, I will tell you my name, " The girl said, putting both her hands on her cheeks, trying to hide their beet red colour.
"But… If you agree to go home with me today and spend time with me… Then I\'ll tell you everything you want…" She said with a smile, holding tightly to Moby\'s right arm.
"I promise it\'s not what you think… I\'m not that kind of girl… I just want to get to know you better…" She nervously said, her face still as red as a tomato.
"Hey! Back off! Stop touching me! I don\'t want to go with you!" Moby said, trying to move her hand. But, he was too weak to do so while not using his full power.
\'Fuck! This bitch is crazy!\' Moby inwardly cursed.
Suddenly, Alex came up behind Moby, ripping the girl\'s arms away from him.
"He said stop, didn\'t he?" Alex said in a serious tone.
"Hey! Stop butting in! This has nothing to do with you!" She screamed.
"Like hell it does, you\'re sexually harassing and trying to forcefully seduce my friend," Alex replied.
"CAN YOU EVEN CALL YOUR SELF HIS FRIEND! HE\'S BEING RAPED AND ABUSED BY A PSYCHO EVERYDAY AND YOU ARE DOING NOTHING TO STOP IT!" She screamed like a lunatic.
Alex bit his lower lip after hearing what she said.
"I have learned to trust in my friend\'s words and judgement! I\'m not a complete lunatic like you!" Alex retorted.
Suddenly, a distortion in the fabric of time and space could be seen around the girl. It was almost like she was ready to fight right now.
"If you want to fight, I\'m not completely against it. But, if we were, I would like a more secluded place. If we were to fight here, we would both be in big trouble. Plus, I don\'t want to hurt any civilians in the crossfire." Alex said, activating his lightning aura.
"Agreed, " Ray said, now with 2 black metal gloves with floating strings, one on each hand.
"FINE! I\'ll let you have your victory for now…" She said in an angry tone.
"Can the next people please come on the ride! We are accepting 100 people!" A ride operator said from the front of the line.
For the next few seconds, as the ride was letting in new people. The girl looked really angry yet really sad at the same time. Her face was completely red and drops of tears could be seen falling underneath her glasses every now and then.
Of course, Moby felt absolutely no sympathy for her at all.
"96"
"97"
"98"
"99"
"100," The ride operator said, pointing at Moby letting him in the ride.
"Sorry about that, you will have to wait for the next ride, " He said to the girl that was standing behind Moby.
\'I promise that I will save you from that bitch whore Jayden Griffith\'s evil clutches my love! Wait for me!\' She thought with a red face and a firm resolve.
\'Thank Satan! If I was forced to be stuck with that bitch for any longer than I had to, I would have lost my fucking mind,\' Moby thought in relief.
"Thanks for the assist back there, I really appreciate it, " Moby thanked both Alex and Ray.
"No problem! Anytime bro!" Alex responded with a smile.
"Same," Ray nodded.
As they went up the stairs to finally be on the ride, they were amazed at how big it was when they got up close. It was at least 100 metres in length.
The roller coaster floated on the air just like all the cars. Around it was a tube made out of air that was used to accelerate its movements allowing it to reach all the way to space in only a few minutes. The tube also served as a protective barrier to safeguard the riders from the immense speed and possible debris while also providing a steady source of oxygen.
The 3 boys sat in the last row of the coaster and put on their safety gear and seat belt. Luckily, each row consisted of 3 seats except for the first one which had only 1 seat that was reserved for VIP.
"Liftoff will commence in,"
"T -3"
"2"
"1!"
"Liftoff!" The operator said on the overhead mic.
Suddenly, the ride started moving… slowly… very slowly…
"What the fuck! I waited 2 hours in line for this shit! It\'s been over 30 seconds! When will this damn thing moooooowowowoAHHHHHH!" A boy said standing up from the front of the ride only to be interrupted by the instant take-off of the coaster.
As the roller coaster started speeding, Moby started to feel the wind pressure hit his face. Although it was only a little. The ride felt super extreme but found a nice balance with safety.
As he looked behind him, he could notice that the ground was becoming smaller at an extremely fast rate. Only for it to be later covered up by the clouds.
\'Damn, this is actually really fun!\' Moby thought with a smile.
Then he noticed Alex beside him screaming,
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!"
While Ray was sitting there with an emotionless face.
\'I guess things never change,\' Moby thought with a chuckle.
After a few minutes, the ride suddenly stopped, it\'s nose now dipping at a 90-degree angle towards the earth.
The earth\'s roundness and blue colour were on complete display to everyone. Also, If one looks closely, they can notice the green defensive barriers protecting every country alongside the green beams of light at their centre.
The ride had stopped in the same position for over 30 seconds now, only making Moby more anxious and excited for the drop.
On the other hand, Alex looked like he was saying some gibberish to help calm himself down while Ray still sat there, with a small smile that was barely visible.
Suddenly, the ride started moving again, going back to its top speed in only a few seconds.
Screams filled the ride as it sped down towards earth faster than before.
Alex who sat beside him screamed like a little girl while the smile on Ray\'s face became slightly larger.
Moby noticed rainbow sparks that came out of the tube made of air around them which made him really fascinated.
The roller coaster was diving towards earth at a nearly 90-degree angle. The only thing stopping each rider from falling off the ride is a mixture of the seatbelts and gravity magic.
In only half the time that it took them to reach the top, they had already reached the bottom.
As soon as the ground became once again visible, the coaster started to steadily slow down as it became completely motionless exactly where they first left off.
\'Well, that was a unique experience. It was pretty fun, " Moby thought.
"Thank you for riding the Astral Coaster! I hope you enjoyed! Come again next time!" The operator said.
"Shittt… I\'m surprised I didn\'t barf out everything we just ate, " Alex said, holding his stomach which made both Moby and Ray chuckle.
******************
7:30 pm, front gate of country Z military school.
Moby, Ray, and Alex were now heading back to their dorm room. They decided to head back after the astral coaster as the line for the core drop had exponentially increased and there would be no way that they would wait over 3 hours for a single ride.
They were all really tired and wanted to sleep early for the day to get ready for tomorrow\'s exam.
Ray had a completely different exam from Alex and Moby as he is in the research division and the magical beast hunting exam was for the combat and the support divisions.
Moby was still bothered by the words of that random girl. It kept tugging at the back of his mind. How she said it would be better for Jayden to be dead. It pissed him off every time he thought of it.
"Hey… Moby, I need to ask you something important. Ray, you can listen in as well, " Alex said in a serious tone.
"I have asked you this question many times before in the past. But, I do want an honest answer…"
"I\'m not trying to annoy you or act like your mother or something. But, I just need to know this because I care about you, as your friend, "
"Is Jayden Griffith doing anything bad to you?" Alex asked in a serious tone.
If it were to be any other time. Moby would have been annoyed at Alex for asking such a question. But, now, he just wanted to put an end to this just in case they have a future misunderstanding.
"No, Jayden has done nothing bad to me at all. Actually, she and I are really good friends. I know that it might be hard to believe for you due to all your past experiences with her. But, she\'s changed. It would be nice if you guys made up sometime soon. I\'m sure that it would benefit both of you. Also, don\'t expose this to other people at school. I am only her pet for protection and as a cover story to help protect me from all the people who are after me. I\'m not actually her pet," Moby replied with a serious tone.
"What you say is indeed pretty hard to believe. But, I can feel like you\'re being sincere with me. So, I will trust you on this. If anything goes wrong or you need me for anything at all, just let me know. Also, don\'t worry about your secret, It\'s safe with me. I promise I will not tell anyone. " Alex said with a smile.
"Same here, " Ray added with a smile.
"Thank you, " Moby said, returning a smile back to them.
"Anyways, we need to get back to the dorm! I\'m tired and need to sleep really early for tomorrow\'s exam. Oh, and good luck to you on your exam Ray, " Alex said.
"Same to you," he replied.
\'Today was actually really fun and educational at the same time. Alex and Ray would be really good servants considering their abilities and what they can offer. But, I feel like their morals and sense of justice might clash with mine if they found out the truth. I just hope that I\'m wrong about that last part,\' Moby thought, entering his dorm and going to sleep.
