Meet us at the parking lot after school… Fine, here I am. What do you want.
His mind was in a constant state of alert. His hands in his pockets, his eyes looking straight ahead, no one knew about his eye condition and they didn’t know that only attacks made from behind would be hindering and he knew that there were no one following him. No sound. He quickly located one of the guys from earlier. He approached him, and as expected the others came out from shadows like those weaklings in Kingdom Hearts. He took a glance back and saw no one being behind him. He could always escape if it was necessary, but he could probably take down this bunch with no trouble.
”So, what do you want…. Woah”
He sidestepped a punch by the football player and responded with an uppercut ending in the gut of the man. Followed up with a hook to the side of his face. As he staggered away Magnus got his guard up and waited for the rest of the gang to attack him. They stood their ground. Interesting. They had at least some honor. He would later find out that this was not the case. The footballer was quick to come back and punch him in the side of his face. His moment of distraction had cost him a cut in the mouth. He could taste the blood. His anger rose and a swing with him arm blocked the footballer and a knee struck him directly in the guts. Magnus hit something hard and he doubted this guy had a hard on during a fight. He was wearing a crotch guard. Interesting. Though, the power Magnus packed was enough to make the guy stumble back again. This time Magnus didn’t get distracted and followed up with a bone shattering strike to the chin of the footballer. Before he could follow up he was grabbed by the others.
’Stop! This is enough.’
Magnus wrestled his way free of the people and pushed them out of his personal space. They still were close and could at any time gang up on him and beat him down. No doubt about it. The worst part, the footballer was back again and ready for another round.
’Stop it Michael, we’re done with the test. Yes, that’s right Magnus, that was a test. And we usually don’t do it this way, but events soon to unfold have forced us to speed this up.’
”…” Stern glare.
’Not the talkative guy. I like that.’
”…” Stern glare.
’Heh, fine, I’ll cut to the chase. We are a part of the former Hand of Fate. You are new to this school, so I doub-’
”I know you… You took control of Varron city. A simple street gang led by some young megalomaniac brat. I heard you had been utterly crushed at some warehouse.”
‘An exaggeration obviously… Kvist pulled a nasty trick that might just have saved the gang from total destruction’
“… Spare me your nostalgic crap. I’m still pissed off at your way of greeting people.”
‘As I said, we don’t usually do it this way.’
“Do what exactly?”
‘Test people for recruitment.’
“… Let me make this clear. I don’t want to join your gang.”
‘We don’t want you to join it, we want you to lead it…’
“…”
‘So will you do it?’
“Why me…?”
‘Fine. Allow me to explain then. You’re becoming a leading man in sports. We need a good image in the public and you would be the perfect candidate. You’re practically the leader of the gymnastic team. You replaced the guy who used to swim butterfly on the school team. You’re the lead scorer in basketball. And you came out of nowhere.’
“…”
‘Soon, you will be more popular than ever, but, you won’t make it in time and you will need a good gang to support you soon. And we need a capable leader.’
“What is this thing you’re talking about?”
‘You will see. But we will give you ‘til tomorrow to make a decision.’
The group disbanded and walked away. Leaving Magnus behind utterly confused for a second time. That was a weird group, seriously. They had in the matter of one day approached him twice with weird requests. But this one rose above all strangeness in the life of Magnus. But his mind was made clear pretty easily. If these guys knew something big was coming. Any help he could get could be used. … And in any case. He would have to recruit Yuri. He would just have to do that when they had their spar. Zack and Damien could wait ‘til later. He needed to know more about those two.
I don’t like this at all… I hope this wasn't recorded by any cameras, no, all of them have been smashed. Better get out of here before someone shows up to check it out. And secondly, their... my gang name will have to change. The Hand of Fate... How lame.
