Strongest Necromancer System-Chapter 116: A Proper Threat

Ring~ Ring~ Ring~

The bell signaling the start of lunch break rang through the school, and the sound of students rushing out of class echoed throughout the hallways. In Jason’s class, the teacher managed to finish her lecture at the exact moment when the bell rang, so the students all got off their seats and rushed to go to lunch. Jason was seated on the left side of the class, staring out the window into the sky, but he was still able to hear the things that a lot of the students were mumbling about him.

"Did you hear what happened earlier? They say Jason and Jared fought."

"Really? Wait, does that mean Jason is the new head of the superhuman clique?"

"I don’t know. But I think he told Jared to back off from causing trouble."

"That’s good. I’ve been worried that he’d end up hurting someone soon. The bastard keeps flaunting his abilities as a superhuman as if he isn’t just a damn D Rank."

The students gathered around chuckled at that statement before one of them brought up something else.

"Hey, did you see the new Dive Vlog that was posted online? The Red Avengers went into a Red Gate in Texas and cleared it out. The monsters there were like giant worms!"

"Really? Show me!"

Some of the students gathered around the first boy who spoke so they could see the Dive Vlog. A Dive Vlog was a video that many guilds created from when they went into Gates. Inside a Gate, most signals and methods of communication were cut off, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t record videos using a phone or camera.

A guild would record a video of themselves going through the Gate Dive and then, when they came out, an editor would clean up the video and make it presentable so they could post it on MeTube and other social media platforms in order to gather more fans. By doing this, a guild would not only be making money for themselves, but they would also make sure that their popularity with the civilians remained high! This popularity would allow them to get more Gate Diving contracts and make even more money!

Right now, the most popular Gate Diving Vlogs came from one of the Five Rulers known as the Predator. He lived in Germany, and he was hailed as the strongest superhuman in the entire world! People gave him the name Predator because of how ruthlessly he handled monster hunting! It was like watching a lion going after a deer and tearing it apart, and there were times when you would even start feeling bad for the monsters! There wasn’t a single person alive who hadn’t seen at least one video of him demolishing a monster inside a Yellow Gate before!

These Vlogs were very popular with students all over the world, and it was one of the ways they decided on the Superhuman Ranks since superhumans weren’t allowed to show their real power outside a Gate.

As the students watched the video, some other students were still talking about Jared.

"Did you hear about him joining that C Rank guild the other day? I heard he was just some sort of errand boy that goes to sell their crystals."

"I even saw him in the SMD building the other day running errands!"

"Shh~ he might hear you!"

"And? Doesn’t he know that Jason is here? There’s no way he’s going to come here after getting his ass handed to him! And if he touches me, then I’ll sue him for everything he has!"

"Jared is here!"

"What!?"

The students all turned to the door as one and they saw Jared standing there with a glare on his face. His hands were in his pockets and everyone around him immediately started to shift out of the way to make room for him! They all thought that he had heard the things that they said and was there to deal with them, but Jared was completely focused on Jason, and he walked passed the other students confidently.

Even though Jared just came in now, he was able to catch what Jason’s classmates had been saying about him and it pissed him off that they were talking like that! Did they think Jason beat him or something!? Jason didn’t even scare him, and if not for his lackeys pulling him back then he would have stood up to the bastard!

On the other side of the room, Jason was looking through a message from Gina on his phone. Gina said that she had finally left for the Red Gate, and Jason wished her good luck. He was about to leave to go for lunch when a figure appeared in front of him. Jason looked up from his phone and raised a brow at Jared. What the hell did this idiot want now?

"You think you’re some hot shot now just because you’re an A rank?"

These were the first words Jared spoke, and Jason could only watch in silence as Jared leaned forward to glare down at him. Jared’s next words were spoken in a low tone so that only he and Jason would hear it.

"There are many types of power in this world, Jason. Physical power means nothing when compared with the power to destroy someone’s life without lifting a single finger. If you think you can come here and embarrass me in my own fucking kingdom, then I’ll ruin you and everything you love. I’ll use everything in my power to make you suffer, and I won’t stop till you’re an outcast. Not even after you leave this school. My father’s connection to the SMD will be enough to make sure that any guild you join will never get another Gate contract as long as you live. So if you know what’s good for you, you’ll fucking back off."

Jared turned to glare at Jason from his side. Jared knew that he had Jason in a chokehold. If there was one thing that every teenager feared, it was the possibility of being ostracized or cast out by the people around you. Being ignored offline and insulted online would be enough to make any youth fall into depression. And if there was one thing every superhuman feared, it was the possibility of never entering a Gate. Not being able to go into a Gate would be the same as never having any abilities in the first place.

The SMD mandated that no superhuman could use their abilities outside a Gate, and if they did, the Enforcers would come for them immediately! And if you couldn’t use your abilities both inside and outside the Gate, then you were never going to grow stronger and it would be the same as never having an ability at all! Jared had used this same threat to bring many of the superhumans in this school under his power.

Jared could have chosen to do this anywhere, but he decided that the best place to speak out was in class where there were a lot of witnesses. That way, he would not only ensure that Jason couldn’t attack him, but he would also have the chance to show off and make people realize that he wasn’t actually scared of Jason.

Jared looked into Jason’s eyes and he saw that Jason was still perfectly calm. No emotions were showing there at all, but Jared was certain that this was just a front. He was sure he wouldn’t have any more issues with Jason from that moment. Jared leaned away after a few seconds and he started to walk out of the room with his hands in his pockets.

The students all around quickly moved out of Jared’s way and they began to murmur the moment Jared left while wondering what the two of them spoke about!
