Class 3-B erupted into cheers , a crowd of spectators peered in. At the centre of attention stood the hulking figure of Leo D'Amore, the schools strongest, his fist clenched around the neck of a poor schoolboy Dong Seok who was just trying to survive maths class.
The crowd of onlookers grew denser, their murmurs filling the air. Leo tightened his grip on Dong Seok's neck and lifted him up into the air. Dong Seok's face was filled with terror contrasting the smug smile on Leo's
Leo's reputation as the only child of the Italian hero Francesco D'Amore, who ranked in the top 80 in the hero rankings, solidified his position as Top Dog of Geumryong High. When classmates were asked of what they think of Leo D'Amore they always came to common conclusion "without a doubt he is the strongest"
In a surprise turn of events Leo let go of Dong Seok. "Thank you Leo "Dong Seok panted. "Your Welcome Dong Seok "Leo replied. The cheers of the crowd died out
Dong Seok managed to stand up straight when he felt a piercing pain in his stomach.Leo punched him square in the gut. "who said you could address me like that. Its King Leo to you". Red Aura emitted from his fist
Leos eyes glinted with Malicious delight as Dong Seok spat out blood.
The crowd roared "Oooooh!! He hit him!"
Leo adjusted his collar. His curly hair bounced like springs atop his round head. His cheeks puffed with every breath, his eyes still gleaming with malice. He looked Over at the direction of Soojin Kim, the girl he set his eyes on. She was uninterested, her eyes glued onto her phone.
"Playing hard to get I see" Leo thought to himself "I'll make you mine soon"
Leo was escorted by his gang, a group of thugs who run Geumryong high. They made their way to the cafeteria laughing at the way Dong Seok got tricked and beaten. A figure stood in their way.
"Who are you" Leo questioned.
"Jae Taejin, transfer student in class 3-E"
"Get out my way" Leo commanded
"I saw what you did" Jae responded
"what are you here to give me lecture or what? "Leo chuckled
The whole gang erupted into laughter.
"its just how things are done here "Leo said grimly
Without a further word Jae lunged to deliver a punch straight at Leo's gut. Jae expected some damage but he watched in shock as Leo tanked it, his body fat absorbing the blow.
"I've done enough fighting for today "Leo signalled to his group to ambush Jae.
They obeyed and barraged Jae with a flurry of attacks. A knee to the gut, an uppercut to the jaw, a calf kick. It was over in seconds Leo and his gang walking away unscathed and Jae left a mess on the floor.
"Insignificant flies should know their place" Leo D'Amore spat
[Later that day, at the D'Amore Mansion]
The D'Amore estate was a fortress of silence. Marble floors, empty hallways, and portraits of a younger, leaner Francesco D'Amore glowering from every wall.
Leo dropped his bag, kicked off his shoes, and waddled up to his room. It was the only part of the house that felt alive. Posters of heroes and battles plastered the walls, glowing monitors lined his desk, and an LED-lit fridge hummed beside his bed.
He plopped into his oversized chair, slapped the power button on his PC, and booted up the stream.
"Let's goooo! He's live!"
The screen flickered. A muscular figure—barely visible through a dense jungle—was hammering fists into the skulls of mutated gorillas, thirty of them surrounding him. One by one, they fell like dominoes.
"W," Leo typed.
"WWWWWWWWWW," he spammed the chat.
He slurped down hot ramen, broth dribbling down his chin.
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
