Records of the Weakest Emperor

The pupils of the three students constricted.

Their eyes went bloodshot and it was clear that they had no intention of answering him at all.

For them, Calvin was just a new student who didn't know the inner workings of this school.

In other words, he was nothing but a subject for their education.

"You sure are quite arrogant, eh?!"

The muscle man dragged his chains and hurled it at Calvin's direction.

A single glance was all it took for Calvin to see that even though the chains were hurled powerfully. It lacked substance beyond its speed. In other words, if the chains struck, it wouldn't leave any conspicuous wounds behind, yet it would still be quite painful.

Peng!

A dull sound rang out.

Calvin had avoided the chains.

"To think that you would actually dare to resist?!" The muscle man's face became distorted in anger. His words also became quite unreasonable now. Obviously, he was slowly drowning in his fury.

"What? Do you want me to just obediently stand here and receive a beating? Are you mad?" Calvin replied with a mocking smirk, "I have informed the teachers of what you are planning to do to me. They'll be here soon to help me and once they came here then I'll be sure to have the three of you expelled!"

Calvin valiantly spoke, but his figure was trembling. His shoulders shivered like a sieve, and his knees looked as if it would collapse at any moment. His eyes also darted around, seemingly afraid to meet the bloodshot eyes of the assailants. These hints were enough for the three to deduce that Calvin was really afraid and was just bluffing to escape.

"Do you even know what you look like right now? Do you think that we would believe you?" The muscle man grabbed his chains once again. Calvin deftly avoided the chains. His movements were smooth and without any waste, yet none of the three noticed his expertise for, in their minds, Calvin was nothing but a scaredy-cat.

"You! Where are you going?!"

Calvin ran to the corridor ahead and there he saw a staircase directly opposite the door on the right side. The three followed suit and when he saw where he was heading, They were briefly stunned. Calvin was going to the rooftop! If he went up then he would have no other escape route other than to go down!

That was basically the same as pushing himself to a dead-end!

It didn't make sense!

"Follow him! He must be too scared that he can't even tell where he is going." The expressions and the eyes of the three were similar to each other. Their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were distorted into grotesque expressions.

"Don't let him run away!"

Calvin detected that the demons from outside the school still weren't making a move.

It was obvious that they wanted Calvin to run even further into the rooftop.

"No worries, there's no way that he can escape once he's in the rooftop... There's nothing there other than a sun whose rays are black instead of white. Once the darkness fully envelops him, he can't possibly escape." An old man who seemed to be a faculty member instead of a student stood along with the other bullies.

He licked his lips and swept his gaze at the rest, "According to our deal, I'll choose my own share first and all of you can share depending on what's left."

"Old geezer, don't be too greedy. You may not be able to swallow due to your greed!" The muscle man swung his chains around and commanded the students from the other classes who observed everything from a distance, "All of you useless cannon fodders! Block the exits here, if he somehow manages to escape from us. Block his way!"

The muscle man's command was quite ruthless. He sealed all routes that Calvin could possibly use to escape. Now, unless he jumped off the school building and committed suicide. There was no way for him to escape.

When the demons saw Calvin's back disappearing further and further from their eyes, those demons from outside the school finally started their chase. However, it was obvious from how they were maintaining a certain distance from Calvin that they wanted to savor the chase. The entire thing was now similar to how a cat and mouse chase.

The only difference was that they were demons instead of cats, and Calvin was a human instead of a mouse.

Calvin ran like mad until he eventually reached the rooftop.

Entering the rooftop, Calvin momentarily stopped on his tracks when he saw the black sun hanging over the horizon.

The darkness seemed to have become one with Calvin, making his movements sluggish.

Gnashing his teeth, he turned around to look in a panic.

"Hahaha! Are you not going to run anymore?!" The muscle-man was now about twenty-meters away from him!

Calvin let out a surprised and panicked yelp.

His knees trembled as they mustered all of the strength that it could possibly use in order to move amidst this darkness that seemed to have transformed into a quagmire. Eventually, Calvin picked up speed and he managed to outrun the muscle-man.

On the rooftop, he discovered a storage room the size of a studio apartment.

Without any hesitation, he crashed his shoulders against the door.

Bang!

The door gave way.

Calvin immediately entered it and slammed the door shut on the muscle man's face.

Click!

A clicking sound rang out as Calvin locked the door.

The storage room was completely dark.

Calvin fumbled around for a while before he managed to find the light switch.

Click!

Another clicking sound rang out as Calvin turned on the lights.

He could now take a good look at the storage room and he discovered that thankfully...

The storage room had nothing out of the ordinary.

Aside from the fact that it was dustier than what Calvin had expected, there was nothing strange in here.

"Hehehe... It looks like he trapped himself in here..."

"How convenient."

"Yeah, definitely..."

A raspy male voice rang out from outside the door.

The demons were clearly toying with Calvin.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Come out now... Come out! I know you are in there..."

"I promise... I won't hurt you! Just a taste... Aaah... I just want a taste..."

The raspy male voice seemed to have lost its breathe for it had turned coquettish at the end of its sentence. It seemed to be seducing Calvin, but the effect that it had was the opposite. Calvin felt a shiver down his spine instead of being seduced by the voice.

The unsettling voice continued speaking followed by another knocking.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Aaah... I promise... I just want a taste... The three of us know that you are in there..."

"Come out... Come out now... We won't harm you... We just want a taste and we just want to teach you a lesson..."

The raspy voice had disappeared and was replaced with a gentle one. The kind voice was reminiscent of a mother gently coaxing his baby to sleep. If not for the fact that the message was quite disturbing, Calvin would've thought that the person speaking behind the door was his very own mother.

"Hehehe... He's not coming out..."

"Yeah, he's not coming out."

"Is he being disobedient?"

"Yeah, he is being disobedient..."

"What should we do?"

"Oh, what should we do?"

The raspy and kind voice made an exchange and in the end, both voices turned silent.

However, in the very next moment.

The voice that came was a chorus made from dozens of different voices clearly belonging to different people!

"We are coming to get you!"

BANG!

A heavy object collided against the steel doors, eliciting a loud bang as the screws that held the door noisily creaked.

The forceful knockings, the sound of hurried footsteps, the contrasting voice, and the darkness that seemed to crawl into Calvin's soul formed a cacophony that could push anyone to the edge of insanity.

BANG!

The door may have been made of steel, but the screws that held it in place could only take so much banging. The door was finally opened. The muscle man who stood at the front lines had a rope and his chains in both of his hands as he rushed inside before even the door could fully collapse.

"Pull him out! Tear his skin! Season the flesh! Let the bones be burned and his soul be tormented!" The people and the students behind the muscle man shouted as well as the old man. They were incredibly excited about this turn of events, but the muscle man had no reply as if he had vanished into nothingness.

BANG!

The door finally went down.

With its collapse, it also revealed the collapsed figure of the muscle man.

A pained look could be seen on his face and half of his body was burned by something unknown.

"All of you wish to teach me a lesson, but my intentions are to annihilate." Calvin stared right at the astonished demons. A piece of paper was floating above his head as if it was being held up by an invisible force. He swept his gaze across every demon present in the rooftop and continued his sentence.

"Our goals are different from the very beginning, so I can confidently say that..."

Calvin stretched his palm forward and the piece of paper above his head shone in a dazzling light.

"I feel sorry for Kevin, but..."

"It's checkmate!"
