At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 485 Anger

The next day

Arakawa Academy entrance
David stood at the door, now dressed in his Arasaka Academy uniform.

He didn't really want to come at all.

Every brick, every pane of glass, and even the clothes he was wearing exuded an aura of "upper class" that suffocated him.

But this was his mother's wish.

The only wish of the woman who almost lost her life for him.

Even though he had just gone through something like that yesterday, his mother still left home early to go to work.

He was also told not to worry about compensation and to just focus on his studies...

With that thought in mind, David took a deep breath and steeled himself as he walked toward the door.

"Authentication failed."

A cold, electronic voice sounded, and a scarlet warning light flashed in front of him.

Can't get in...?

David shook his head and dialed the principal's contact number directly.

"Martinez? Oh, it's you."

After a brief pause, a greasy, bald, middle-aged man came into view.

"Principal, I can't get into the school."

David took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm.

"Yes, about this matter..."

We have already sent the repair bill for the previously... well, the accidentally damaged teaching equipment to your guardian, Ms. Gloria Martinez.

Considering your family's financial situation, we have assessed that you may be unable to repay this fee within the stipulated timeframe.

So I'm sorry, we have no other choice.

The principal paused, his tone devoid of any apology.

"What do you mean?" David's heart sank.

"This means that you will not be able to enter the academy until you pay off your debt."

Of course, if you can resolve this quickly, we welcome you back.

The principal's voice carried a false politeness.

fart!

David knew perfectly well what was going on.

What a load of rubbish about debt! This old guy is just waiting for an excuse to kick him out!
For a place like Arakawa Academy that prides itself on elite education, a poor kid from the downtown area like him is like a stain on a white shirt—very conspicuous!

What they need are "high-quality students" with shiny implants all over their bodies and parents who are high-ranking executives in companies, not "outliers" like him who rely on his mother's hard work to barely scrape together tuition fees!
"I……"

David wanted to argue, to roar, but when the words reached his lips, all that remained was a helpless bitterness.

"That's all for now, Martinez, I'm busy."

Communication was unilaterally cut off.

The busy tone seemed to mock his naivety.

"Hold!"

David could no longer suppress the rage surging in his chest. He turned around abruptly and slammed his fist into the cold metal wall next to him!

boom!
A dull thud echoed.

He felt a sharp pain in his knuckles, but he didn't care.

This little bit of pain is nothing compared to the frustration he feels!

"Hey, isn't this our David 'Troublemaker' Martinez?"

A sharp, sarcastic voice came from the side.

David turned around abruptly, and upon seeing who it was, his brows furrowed instantly.

It's Katsuo Tanaka.

One of his classmates, a typical rich kid, didn't get along with him.

He was accompanied by two henchmen who were also looking at David with the same disdainful eyes.

"Finally, I'm out of here!"

You've really caused our class a lot of trouble. Now it's peaceful!

Katsuo Tanaka patted his chest dramatically.

David clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, but he finally endured it.

We must avoid causing trouble.

I absolutely cannot cause my mom any more trouble!

He took a deep breath and turned around, wanting nothing more than to get out of this awful place as quickly as possible.

Seeing that David remained silent, Katsuo Tanaka felt bored, but then, as if she had thought of something, her mockery deepened. "Hey, Martinez, I saw your mother yesterday."

Tsk tsk, they were so humble and subservient at the principal's office door.

Like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy…

He took a step closer, lowered his voice, but his tone became even more vicious.
David's body stiffened abruptly.

"I've always been curious, what kind of 'job' does your mother do to be able to afford to send you to Arasaka Academy? Hmm?"

Katsuo Tanaka looked David up and down in his worn-out jacket.
He deliberately drew out his words, making a pointed remark.

"Could it be... one of those shady jobs?"
For example, at the Genting Hotel at night…

"Haha! Boss, how could that be!"

Genting Highlands isn't a place just anyone can go!

"Exactly! I bet she's just standing around in that alley."

Upon hearing this, two of Tanaka Katsuo's henchmen mocked him.

"Shut up!!"

David whirled around, his eyes bloodshot, like an enraged beast!

He can tolerate people mocking him for being poor and for being a good-for-nothing!
But he would never allow anyone to insult his mother!
That woman who loved him with her life!

"Oh ho? Getting impatient?"

What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you getting angry?

Katsuo Tanaka was amused by David's reaction, and the smile on her face became even more distorted.

The two henchmen next to him also burst into laughter.

"Tanaka-kun, I think it's probably true!"

"Otherwise, where would she get the money? With her paltry paramedic salary? That's laughable!"

"I told you to shut up!!"

David completely lost his mind, roaring as he lunged at Katsuo Tanaka, trying to grab him by the collar and make him swallow his words!
however--

"Unbelievable!"

Katsuo Tanaka snorted coldly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

He slightly shifted his body to the side, his right arm deflecting David's hand at an extremely tricky angle, while his left leg lashed out like a whip!

boom!
David felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into the outer wall of the toilet next to him before sliding to the ground.

This is a blind spot in the surveillance system.

"Cough...cough..."

David clutched his stomach and coughed violently, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted out of place.

Katsuo Tanaka walked over slowly, rolling up his sleeves as he did so, his arms gleaming with a strange metallic sheen.

"See that? Useless."

This is the latest 'Kubi 400' series combat cybernetic body!
In addition, there's the 'Kung Fu Master' fighting chip I loaded..."

He looked down at David, who was lying on the ground, and boasted.

He lifted his foot and tapped David's cheek with the tip of his expensive leather shoe.

"What can a poor wretch like you, who doesn't even have basic cybernetic implants, do to fight me?"

"You managed to escape last time, but this time..."

I'm going to beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you!

Katsuo Tanaka couldn't help but feel excited as she thought about what was about to happen.

After saying that, he raised his metal arm and, with a whistling sound, slammed it down hard on David's head!

At this critical moment!
David's pupils suddenly contracted!
Shila-

An indescribable feeling instantly flowed through my entire body!

A subtle electric current throbbed under my skin, as if countless tiny ants were crawling on it!
That electric current coursed through my entire body...

Time seemed to slow down.

He could clearly see the ferocious expression on Katsuo Tanaka's face, the cold gleam reflecting off his metal arm, and even the dust floating in the air.

Anger, resentment... all these emotions ignited a more primal and powerful force at this moment!
Fuck your superiority!
next moment!
Before David could even react, his body had already made the first move!

No moves, no techniques!
Only the purest anger and power!

Driven by a force called electric current.

He suddenly raised his arm and met the falling metal fist with a powerful punch!
boom! ! !
Click——! ! !
A deafening roar, followed by the sickening sound of metal shattering!

The sinister smile on Katsuo Tanaka's face froze instantly, replaced by utter astonishment and disbelief!
His prized and valuable "Kuai Arm 400" shattered like fragile glass under David's fists!
Metal fragments mixed with biogel splattered in all directions!

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

The intense pain and the impact of his destroyed arm caused Katsuo Tanaka to let out a bloodcurdling scream!
