Chapter 13: Space Training Chamber
Lucas's grip on Xavier's collar tightened, his cybernetic fingers digging into the fabric. "You're going to regret that," he growled.
Xavier met his gaze without fear. "I doubt it," he said, his voice steady. "Because unlike you, I don't need enhancements to be good at something."
The confrontation hung in the balance, the air thick with tension. Around them, students watched in stunned silence, the usual background noise of the academy absent in this moment of high drama.
[Today's task completed- Provoke the bullies]
[Task completed- 2/10]
Not only Xavier had provoked Lucas and others, but he had also completed the task which he had triggered after his meeting with the hacker.
Now, all Xavier had to do was run as fast as possible from the bullies and lure them to the space training room. But could he really run from them with his weak body? It was time to find out.
He stood locked in a tense standoff with Lucas and his cronies. The courtyard buzzed with anticipation, students sensing the confrontation about to explode. Then, with sudden movement, Xavier bolted.
Xavier purposely ran into the crowds and other obstacles to slow down Lucas and others, as he was only one, while they were four. He could go anywhere he wanted, and they had to chase after him.
