Leveling Up Alongside My Plant Legion
Chapter 2:I Might Be Weak But I Ain’t A Loser
A small crowd of students had already gathered at a distance, forming a loose circle as they watched the scene before them unfold with clear interest. Instead of concern, most of them whispered among themselves, openly enjoying what was happening.
After all, who in their right mind would choose to miss such unexpected entertainment in the middle of the afternoon?
"What’s with this sudden drama this early in the afternoon? And who exactly is getting beaten like that?"
"It’s Reigns. And from the looks of it, Rez and his group are the ones handling him."
"What the hell did you just say?" one of the boys screamed.
"Are you telling me that Rez and his group are actually bullying Reigns while fully knowing who he’s involved with?"
"That’s exactly why this is happening. Didn’t you hear what happened yesterday? Reigns awakened a completely useless support-type class, while the Ace Queen awakened a world-shattering class that literally shook the entire city when she awakened. Ever since then, the gap between them has become obvious to everyone."
"And after that, she completely disappeared. So it’s pretty clear that she won’t even bother giving Reigns a second glance anymore which means he has basically lost the only thing that made people hesitate before."
"Yeah, and honestly, this guy has been acting quite arrogant for a long time now. It’s not surprising that people are finally taking this chance to deal with him."
"In fact, I would love to go and pummel that pretty face of his," one boy snorted coldly.
"Well, I guess it was only a matter of time before someone decided to put him in his place, and now that moment has finally come."
Some of them exchanged amused glances while continuing to watch. Others folded their arms with faint smirks on their faces, and a few even chuckled under their breath. Despite the obvious violence happening right in front of them, not a single person stepped forward. In anything, they wanted it to become even more violent.
BANGGG!
A sharp, detonating pain shook him to the core. His lungs collapsed as the impact knocked the air out of him, and his vision flashed white for a split second. Burning heat spread through his torso like boiling liquid, and at the same time, a dull, drilling ache burrowed deep into his skull, making his ears ring.
His eyes fluttered open, barely focusing as he tried to process what the hell was going on...
A big, bulky leg came crashing down on his stomach, folding his body beneath it like he was nothing more than a bag of skin and bones.
BANG!
"Gahhh!" he choked, his voice breaking as bile rose in his throat. Clutching his stomach, he rolled desperately across the ground, dragging in ragged breaths just to put some distance between them.
"Bastard..."
"You acted so cocky before, but now what..."
"Since you have awakened this trash class, I am sure she won’t bat an eye."
"Did I or did I not ask you to bring more money? I heard she paid you a lot for each night," a short, well-built youngster in a school uniform sneered, spitting to the side before driving another kick into the skinny figure.
"Can’t you spare a dime?"
The blow folded him instantly. His body buckled as he collapsed, coughing violently, dark blood spilling onto the ground beneath him.
"Rez... be careful, dude. Don’t kill him or something," another student nearby muttered.
That brief pause was enough.
His thoughts, chaotic and fragmented, began to piece themselves together.
Reigns...
A name similar to his own.
Fragments of memories flickered before his eyes.
Famous for being involved with high-class socialites.
Yesterday, in front of everyone, he awakened one of the trashiest classes.
That’s the Farmer Class, a support-type class.
It would have been good if he awakened a talent alongside but hell no.
Just a lousy random bullshit fodder class.
That was enough for everyone who had envied him to finally pounce. The moment his awakened class was revealed, he ran away, hiding until he was eventually caught, bound, and beaten by these shits.
Reigns gritted his teeth, a bitter curse forming in his mind.
What the hell is going on?
He had just been playing a game, and then a bolt of lightning struck out of nowhere, and now he was here, getting the shit beaten out of him.
If this is the legendary transmigration... at least spawn me in a safe zone, not in some garbage situation where a bunch of bastards are lining up to beat me to death.
"Nah... this bitch might be spineless, but he is pretty durable. Isn’t that right? Aren’t you the best punching bag?"
"It seems he has great stamina?"
"Stamina?"
"My ass!"
"How dare you even think that?" the fatty snapped, his expression twisting as his face darkened with anger.
"Rez... We should leave him," the other two tried again, exchanging uneasy glances.
"Let me go... Today, I am gonna destroy this bastard."
Rez raised his leg again, aiming to crush the barely moving boy curled on the ground.
But this time he was ready.
He wasn’t the kind of person who would just lie there and take a beating. As the leg descended, time seemed to have slowed for just a fraction of a second.
Pain screamed through his body but his instincts kicked in.
His hand shot out, his fingers clamping tightly around the incoming leg. Using what little strength he had, he twisted his body and swept his foot upward in a sharp, desperate arc.
BANG!
The kick landed clean.
Right between the legs.
"UUUUWHHHHHH—!"
A cracked, choked scream tore out of Rez’s throat as his entire body stiffened before collapsing.
Something definitely broke, and that too quite brutally.
"Rez—!" Harry and Bentham froze for a split second before rushing forward, grabbing the fellow as he writhed on the ground, his face turning purple while he howled in raw, animalistic agony.
"Gaahhh!"
His entire body trembled violently, fat rippling uncontrollably as he rolled across the dirt.
Reigns didn’t waste the chance.
Gritting his teeth and forcing his battered body to move, he pushed himself up and staggered forward before breaking into a limp.
He glanced around and saw students in academy uniforms snickering behind him while Rez’s sidekicks tried to calm him down.
He needed to use this chance to escape.
Three against once.
Bad odds.
God knows what kind of class these kids had awakened while he was stuck with a support-type Farmer class.
If those guys had combat classes, he wouldn’t last another round.
Running wasn’t cowardice.
It was survival.
One day, he swore to restore the humiliation a hundredfold.
The moment Reigns turned to run, his battered legs had barely carried him forward when a surge of movement erupted behind him as the surrounding boys reacted almost instantly.
Before he could even take more than a few uneven steps, two figures lunged from the side while another rushed straight from behind, cutting off his escape like predators closing in on wounded prey.
A hand clamped onto his collar, another grabbed his arm.
The third slammed straight into his back.
BANG!
The force sent him crashing face-first into the ground as dust burst upward, and before he could recover, rough hands yanked him back and pinned him down with overwhelming force.
"Now what the hell is up with you?"
"Shut up and get beaten."
Reigns groaned as he hit the ground with a thud and cursed.
’The original owner might be shit in fighting but when it comes to aggro, this bastard might be Master Rage baiter.’
Just how the hell can someone turn the entire class against himself?
"Trying to run now, huh?!"
"Where do you think you’re going?!"
"Stay down, bastard!"
They forced him onto his back, one pressing down on his shoulders, another locked his legs in place, while the third hovered above him with a twisted grin, clearly enjoying every second of it.
But Reigns didn’t stop.
Even with his vision spinning and his ribs screaming in pain, something inside him snapped. Instead of giving in, his body surged with raw, desperate resistance.
"I might be weak, but I am not a pathetic loser!"
His voice tore out hoarsely and the next moment, he moved, deciding to go all out.
