Ragna stared at them and at his right hand, which he had just finished using, and nodded in appreciation of his current level of strength. He was quite impressed.
'Guess the sleeping penalty really did me dirty, huh?'
Ragna thought, even though he was aware that he had grown much stronger compared to when he had just recently transmigrated. Since there was no opponent to test his strength against, he could not tell by how much.
Especially, with how he had fought when he was under the sleeping penalty, with no sleeping penalty and negative status on him, Ragna couldn't help but feel like someone who had been given a new lease on life; it was the first time he was happy fighting.
"Fucking bastard, don't come any closer!"
The muffled voice of Hansen could be heard, as he hurriedly put a pill in his mouth, his face had been caved inside from Ragna's punch, and was pretty bloody with almost no teeth left in his mouth, at this moment he was beginning to understand, why Ragna had easily accepted to fight them outside the academy.
If anything, he was also starting to become afraid; he couldn't help but look at his sides. No matter how stupid he was, his expression was immediately filled with horror when he saw his friends squirming on the ground, half dead.
"Young master, there's more where that came from… How was that pretty respectful huh?"
Hansen almost cursed at Ragna, when he heard him, he could tell the sarcasm in his voice.
"How much do you want Ragna? I can tell my father to give you any amount I promise as long as you let us go. I will even triple the enhancement elixir, if it's not enough I will give you ten times!"
"If it were about money, I wouldn't have needed to lure the three of you over here. I want something else kid, I want your souls. Don't hate me too much."
The trio shuddered when they heard what he said, even though they couldn't quite understand what he meant. Their instincts told them their lives were in danger, and he definitely wasn't letting them go easily.
"Ragna, you know if you do anything to us, the academy will definitely find out, right? My family also wouldn't let you go?"
Hansen said with a look of fear, he was beginning to regret ever meeting Ragna or bullying him.
"Ragna, if you like, you could do anything you want with them, as long as you spare my life, I will make sure I don't reveal what happened here to anyone. I can sign any contracts or oath, as long as you let me go."
Hansen stated with a look of fear, at this moment he was scared shitless and was ready to make any compromise as long as he got out of his current situation.
Ned and Galadima who were squirming on the ground to curse at him inwardly, they would have tried to plead but Ned inside was already a ruin and was barely hanging to the last straw of life thanks to his ability, Galadima's jaw had been punched really hard that his brain was still processing how he got hit.
However, they could still understand that Hansen was about to abandon them to save his own goddamn life; they had cold sweats all over their bodies as they squirmed on the ground heavily.
"No need."
Ragna shook his head; his words sent a cold shiver running through Hansen's spine.
"Play time is over. Kid."
Ragna spoke, and suddenly appeared in front of Hansen. Before Hansen could say anything, he suddenly quivered with a bewildered expression, and then looked at Ragna, then at his hand.
In his hand, he could see a bloody organ, heaving up and down, dripping with blood.
"Huh, is that my heart?"
These were the last words before his body fell on the ground. Dead
Ned and Galadima were immediately horrified by the scene before them, they wanted to move their bodies and scream for help but could not, not only was their body refusing to move due to how badly ruined it was, but also due to how frightened they were, they kept squirming as they stared at Ragna with tears in their eyes.
Ragna could read the look in their eyes; these were looks he had seen a lot in his previous world, but he simply didn't care or give a fuck, to him, they were only a means for him to gain new abilities.
'You killed Hansen, you're a monster.'
The moment Hansen died, several notification messages resounded and began to appear in front of him. Ragna ignored them and began to walk towards them instead.
'Only two left, so I have to make it quick before anyone begins to look for them.'
Twenty minutes later…..
Someone could be seen silently strolling out of an abandoned building. After a few minutes of walking out of it, the place suddenly began to collapse as an earthquake was happening, leaving behind debris and the humid smell of moss lingering in the air.
This person was none other than Ragna; at this moment, he was done absorbing the three fragmented souls of the trio.
He couldn't help but smile as he stared at his hands he activated an ability that kept changing his hands and producing different effects. After a while, he looked at the notification messages in front of him.
