"What the fu#k"
Chris cursed while lowering the table leg in panic. He looked at the golden cloud in front of him with confusion and a hint of fear.
"What is that?"
"It appeared out of nowhere."
"Is that a cloud?"
"Idiot, why would there be a cloud inside a building?"
"Then what the fu#k is it?"
Discussions rose among the young boys who surrounded Chris and Fredrick. Their faces were pale, and their body slightly trembled.
Suddenly, the golden cloud started to disperse, and through that, a human figure started to manifest little by little.
The figure was blurred and incomplete at first, but with every second spent, it became more detailed, complex and more human.
After a few seconds, the skin started to appear, and above it, an olive outfit paired with a tactical vest manifested.
There was a black, empty circle on the soldier's right arm and a combat knife, a water bottle on his belt.
When Chris saw what was happening in front of him, his heart started to melt in fear. His pupils widened, and he started to tremble slightly.
His grip on the table leg loosened, and it landed on the floor in a clatter. His knees weakened, and he fell onto the floor with a thud in panic.
"What the fu#k?"
He looked at the tall, stout man in front of him with fearful eyes.
The soldier stared at the bloodied, beaten face of Fredrick for a moment before looking at the group of students with an alarmed look on his face.
He walked forward and stopped in front of Fredrick. Then hetook out his knife from his belt, and pointed it at Chris.
From the pose he was in, it was easy to say that it was a defensive position.
Fredrick, on the other hand, weakly lifted his head and glared at his bully.
Even though his gaze was weak, it was filled with rage and hatred to the point that his pupils seemed crimson.
His lips twitched, and he uttered two barely audible words.
"Kill him."
The soldier sprang into action in a matter of seconds. He lunged at the lying Chris with his knife pointed toward his neck.
The blade's point was extremely sharp, and it glistened in the artificial light of the light bulb as it closed on Chris's neck with deadly accuracy.
"Aaahhh"
The knife cut through the skin of his neck and bit deeper into Chris's throat. It sliced flesh apart and sprayed crimson blood to the walls, floor and even to one of the students.
"Aahhh"
The student hurriedly tried to wipe out the blood from his body, but the only thing he could successfully do was wet his pants in fear.
Chris tried to wriggle his way out of the already decided death, but the soldier simply grabbed him by the head and locked him in place while he stabbed him more and more.
"Guhh"
Chris coughed up his blood, and gradually the luster in his eyes started to diminish. His breathing became ragged for a moment before stopping completely. His eyes were replayed by two lifeless back orbs that reflected the figure of his murderer.
***
The soldier drew the knife out from Chris's neck. The muscles in his neck parted while the silver blade cut through anything that was on its way.
When the knife was away from his neck, even more blood started to flow and expand the small bloody puddle that was below his body.
Other students looked in horror, frozen in place while the soldier took the knife and cleaned it using Chris's clothes before putting it back on his belt.
They looked at the corpse on the floor and the cold-blooded murderer who had an indifferent expression on his face at the same time.
They looked like frozen statues, their mouths agape, their mind in flames, their limbs numb and their blood pumping wildly.
For some reason, the indifferent look on the soldier's face made them more terrified than the fact that he had killed their friend Chris.
Under the terrified gazes of students, the soldier turned around and slowly walked toward Fredrcik.
Fredrick had already recovered from the numb-like state he was in and was staring at Chris with hateful eyes and a smirk on his face.
'Serves you right, fuc#er.'
He got up using Beta's shoulder-he decided to name his new soldier Beta-and commanded to take him to the corpse of Chris.
Beta nodded and did exactly what he asked.

Fredrick stood over Chris and stared at him with cold eyes. His eyes moved toward Chris's mouth, that were opened in horror, then to the soulless, black eyes.
"This is what you deserve, fu#ker. Too bad I couldn't kill you with my own hands...I would have enjoyed it."
He spat on the bloody face of Chris and kicked his right cheek with all the force he could muster, causing the head to turn sideways.
"thud"
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened with William and Alpha barging into the room with knives and guns ready.
Panic was written on their faces as they examined the room full of people. Their gaze landed on the five students, the corpse and then on Fredrick and Beta.
They immediately ran toward the two men and stopped near them, and William lent his shoulder to Fredrick.
"You are late, William."
Fredrick said while using him as a crutch. William met his gaze and lowered his head for a moment before saying in a regretful tone.
"I am sorry, General...I should have come sooner."
Fredrick chuckled.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I am in a good mood today."
'I just saw a dead human body, but the only thing I felt was a little tightness in my heart. I don't know if it's because I hate Chris or I am getting used to it.'
He looked at Alpha, who was now holding the AK-47 and glanced at former Chris's lackeys.
"Lock these shits up in the locker room. I have better use for them...also guard them. Don't let them talk to anyone."
While saying that, he quickly opened the store and bought four handcuffs and manifested them near Alpha.
Then he turned around to leave, but froze midway when he saw a familiar figure standing in the doorway and looking at the bathroom interior with fear in her eyes. Her eyes were directed to him, and on them was a hint of astonishment.
After a while of staring into his eyes, Chloe asked with a hint of fear.
"Fredrick, what happened here? And how did you do that?"
