Jayden left his room and decided to roam around to make himself comfortable and understand his environment.
The spaceship he was in –which was called Light Arrow– could travel at a speed twice the speed of light, but it would still take them five days to get to their destination, the universe was a vast place filled with countless dangers lurking in every corner of your vision. Literally.
Jayden moved his legs slightly to the side and evaded a bullet that could have pierced his thigh. He turned to the direction which the deadly projectile came from and saw a Mech Suit running down the hallway before turning a corner and disappearing.
"If the asshole expects me to chase after him, then he's dumber than a potato." Jayden said and continued walking.
About ten minutes later, a ball of energy shot towards his shoulder with speed, leaving a trail of light behind it. It would have been a beautiful sight if it wasn't something that could kill a normal human.
Jayden raised his hand and caught the ball, then he squeezed it and made it break apart into sparkling mots of energy.
He again saw the culprit running away as fast as his legs could carry him, before he turned a corner and disappeared.
Jayden clicked his tongue and arrived at his destination, the gym.
"Time to build some muscles." Were the words Jayden said before he went to a corner and took off the upper part of his bodysuit.
His ripped muscles were revealed and stunned even some of the boys working out, he turned around to get to the treadmill when he felt someone staring at him. He shifted his eyes across the gym and caught the sight of a red haired boy staring at him through the gaps in between a machine. The moment their eyes met, the boy looked away amd walked out of the gym.
"Don't tell me he also expects me to follow him." Jayden said with a raised eyebrow and began with a slight jug on the treadmill, before it turned into a full out sprint. He made sure to reduce his speed to not raise suspicions, but his speed was still great. After an hour of using almost all the equipments in the gym, he left and walked back to his room.
On his way, there were several attempts to lure him away, but he didn't budge and just kept on neutralizing the attacks or simply dodging them.
This went on for their five days trip to The Arena, and it was now six hours to their descent.
"Can't avoid a cliché fight huh." He thought, as another Mech Suit was seen running away.
"Since they want a fight. Then I'll give them what they want." Jayden made up his mind as his activated his Mech suit. He kicked off the ground and took after the Mech Suit. His speed was not something anyone of the first years could contend with, unless they had a speed boosting skill.
The Mech Suit turned the corner and stopped, but what the student didn't expect was a towering mass of metal to be chasing right behind him. Jayden grabbed the student who had deactivated his Mech Suit before hurling him at the metal wall beside him. The student was knocked out instantly without any form of resistance.
Jayden turned his attention back to the group of people ahead of him. They all had red hair and red eyes, the smile on their faces widened when they saw what Jayden did to the student. They were all students of the Fire Crackers House and loved violence more than anything.
"At least he did his job this time. Take him to the nurse." One of the red haired who seemed to be the group leader spoke.
Two out of the ten students picked up the students body and left the dark corner of the spaceship, there were flourescent lights in every part of the spaceship, but in this part, the light flickered on and off, perhaps there was something wrong with the wiring.
"So you're the Jayden we're meant to deal with huh?" The leader said. He had a long pointed nose and wore a gold earring on his left ear. His left eyebrow and part of the hair on the left side of his face was missing and was replaced with a burn mark.
"You seemed to have really pissed Him off for Him to send us to deal with you. Don't you think?"
Jayden looked at the leader before inspecting him. He had tried this before on someone else and he was really surprised at what he saw.
[Name: Gregory Lynch]
[Race: Human]
[HP: 100/100]
[EP: 1000/1000]
[Strength: 13]
[Agility: 15]
[Stamina: 12]
[Defense: 11]
[Affinity - Fire]
Jason could see their stats but he was told by Nahshon that it wasn't always accurate. He didn't mind that, it was still something that could be used to gauge an opponents physical stats.
Jayden had not been slacking off since his return from Planet Euphoria, he could now draw out energy from the Creation Orb and infuse it into his skills, his skills that were made stronger from the techniques given to him by Nahshon, were further enhanced.
The leader of the eight man attack group activated his Mech Suit, it wrapped around his body and made him bulky. He wasn't as big as Jayden, but he wasn't small either.
Everyone of them activated their Mech Suit and shot forward towards Jayden.
The leader arrived at Jaydens back and whispered in his ears.
"You messed with the wrong person."
"Fuck Off!!" Jayden said and elbowed the leader on his face.
Jayden's strength was nothing to scoff at, his natural strength had been tempered multiple times, and the boost given to him by his Mech Suit and Rogue Suit was more than double his strength. So when he used his elbow to hit Gregory, he didn't expect him to be sent flying out of the corner and landing several hundred meters away, passed out.
Jayden didn't look too much into it and charged at the stunned Fire Crackers. With precise punches, he incapacitated the eight students and left them lying on the ground.
"Hmph, they didn't even give me a challenge."
