"Is this enough? You want more?"
"Hehe, don't worry there's more from where that came from rat"

Ren was constantly bullied in his school for his frail body, lack of talent and ugly face.
His glasses lay about 3 meters away from him shattered and Ren was in the same condition broken and bloody from head to toe.
AAAHHHHHHHHHH
A red glint appeared in Ren's eyes as he stood up with a yell to fight back, but he's already using all the strength he has to stand up. What strength does he have left to fight?
"Ohhh, you never learn your lesson do you. How many times do we have to beat you up" a tall well-built boy said.
He had red hair that looked as if it was of fire and had sharp, bright yet dark eyes. A well-built body with defined muscles and a handsome but smug face.
He was Myles Blaze, the 3rd son of the powerful Blaze family. They were famous for their fire-based powers across the world, they are one of the 10 sovereign families and all of them have powerhouses capable of flattening entire mountains with a flick of the wrist.
Behind him on stood two of his lackeys the fat boy on the right was laughing his ass of at the sight of Ren trying to fight back and the other girl on the left was covering her mouth with her thin hand out of amusement. Behind them all the school student took slight glances at them and minded their own business.
This was a common occurrence and everyone was used to it, Myles was known to bully Ren for the past decade of school. Others have also bullied him in the past, stolen his money and food but because he always fought back and everyone except Myles else got fed up with it and stopped bullying him out of convenience but they still come time to time to went their anger on him. Myles and his lackeys were the only ones who found Ren's attempts to fight back extremely funny. At first, the others also stopped by to watch him get beaten. But after a year or so the novelty wore off, and they stopped caring.
Even the teachers didn't care because Ren was an orphan had no special background and was average if not slightly below average in the academy with terrible fighting skill due to his frail body, but very good marks for the written exams. And his comprehending ability and analysis skills are on another level from normal people but this is something of no use in the present society. If you're not able to fight then there is no use for you.
Ren rushed at Myles with all his strength only to be kicked in the gut unable to avoid it even though he saw it coming due to his weak and battered body, but he had already taken this into consideration when rushing in.
He wrapped his arms around Myles leg before he could pull it back and held on to it with all the strength he could muster, as he was pushed back due to the force of the kick Myles was also pulled with him making him lose balance and fall down.
Ren got suddenly jumped up on top of Myles and tried hitting him but he easily took hold of his arms even while lying on the floor.
"NOW YOU'VE DONE IT. IF YOUR GONNA FIGHT, FIGHT LIKE A MAN." Myles roared, spit flying as his fists tightened.
His two lackeys quickly came in and kicked Ren in the face simultaneously sending him flying off Myles and he kept on rolling till he hit the academy wall.
Myles got up and rushed at him with rage in his eyes. Within a moment he was on top of Ren and he started his merciless barrage of punches at Ren. Repeatedly hitting his face, chest and his ribs with his personal spiked gloves that he had put on at some point.
Ren was reduced to a bloody pulp, his face disfigured and 3 of his rib bones broken and a pool of blood was forming under him. He thought that this time he will die for sure, but like aways a strong force pushed Myles off of Ren but he landed on his feet as he was expecting it, but still slid 3 or so meters before stopping.
"This is enough, now leave" said a stern voice from the sky.
Myles and his lackeys didn't say or tries anything more and left with angry expressions and a face as if to say that 'you got lucky again bitch'
Thud
A man in black military cloths jumped down from one of the higher floors of a building and slowly walked towards Ren with a sympathetic expression.
Ren was blinded by his own blood and his ears were ringing so he could neither see or hear, but he knew what happened. Professor Caius has saved him…. Again.
Professor Caius was military commander in his prime but he worked alone and hadn't joined any organization at the time, but the government gave him that post purely due to his terrifying presence in the battle field.
Even now he had joined the academy on his own accord saying that he would like to educate and make the younger generation ready for the world outside and he is working as the combat instructor of the academy. He joined the academy in the same year that Ren was admitted to it. So they have a long history and knew each other since then.
Ren didn't know why but once during a one sided beat down of him professor Caius showed up and chased away the bullies and after that he would always come save him from bullies when he thought it was necessary like what happened now. Him often helping Ren was also another reason for most of the bullies to stop harassing him. But Myles was not a nobody and not even Caius word could stop him even though he was equal if not more powerful than the head of the Blaze family.
But it was not the Blaze family but Myles that was the problem and he as a teacher could punish him but students from sovereign families get special privileges and one of them is not being punished if it is not a serious problem and according to the academy bullying is not one of them, so no matter what he does to Ren as long as he is left alive he won't be punished and even if was to be killed and Myles were to be punished it wouldn't be anything serious as Ren had no background and was just an orphan so Myles could get out of it easily, the only reason Ren is alive is because of professor Caius and he is thankful for him for it and he is the only person he trust in the entire academy, he had no friends as no one wanted to be friends with for obvious reasons and he liked it that way.
Professor bent down next to Ren and poured a green color liquid into his mouth. Like magic wounds on Ren's body healed the broken bones mended themselves and Ren was good as new except for the blood stains on the ground and his cloths.
Ren was finally able to breath properly and he opened his eyes to see a bald middle aged man staring at him, it was Professor Caius. He was slim but not thin, everyone had once seen the well defined body under those military cloths during one of their combat lessons.
"How do you feel" he asked in a flat tone.
"Fine as always, I guess" Ren replied casually leaning on to the wall
"What was that move you pulled their" Professor Caius asked about his move on Myles with a smile on his face.
"It was a lucky one and that was kinda stupid and moves like that won't work in a real fight. Plus, it looked like someone who has never fought before trying to desperately do something to get a hit in, and I didn't even manage to land a hit on him" Ren stated the obvious looking down at the ground.
"That is indeed true" Professor Caius nodded
"So, what could you have done better?"
"Everything" Ren replied with a sigh and standing up
"I'm gonna go home now and thanks for saving my ass again, bye" he waved at him and went to pick up his glasses which only had the frame which was also in two pieces and his bag which was in the middle on the pathway and being kicked around by the students who were walking around as they made no attempt to avoid it.
After storing his useless glasses in his bag he went out of the academy gates and home.
