The guy and his friends had already noticed the expression on Aiden's face, and the boy inquired of him at that moment,

"What, you wanna fight?".

Aiden didn't say anything, he was just glancing at the guy with that annoyed expression still plastered to his face. Then the guy glanced at Oliver and Ava and uttered to them,

"Or do you guys wanna fight on his behalf?".

Oliver and Ava didn't say anything, they were just glancing at them. Then one of the boy's friends tapped him on the shoulder and said to him,

"I don't think they have the power to fight, they are weaklings".

And with that, all of them laughed as they continued strolling toward the cafeteria. Oliver helped Aiden stand up from the ground, then Ava uttered,

"Seems like they are gonna bother you, Aiden".

"Don't be like the other kids they've been bullying, do something about it quickly, don't let them bully you for long. Report it to one of the teachers, or report it to your dad". Oliver said to Aiden.

Aiden's gaze was fixed on the boy and his friends as they had gotten close to the cafeteria, then he said,

"No, I wouldn't do that. But I'll definitely do something else if this persists".

"What would you do?". Oliver inquired of Aiden.

"Don't worry about it, let's stroll into the cafeteria".

And with that, the three of them continued walking toward the cafeteria.

******

The bully really had plans of bothering Aiden's life. He said he doesn't waste all of his time bullying people whose dads were officials, but he does have plans of bullying Aiden from time to time.

The next day at school, activities took place in Aiden's class and other classes. It got to break hour, Aiden, Oliver, and Ava were sauntering toward the cafeteria to go eat...and that same thing happened.

The boy and his other friends had already sighted Aiden from afar, so they hastened their pace until they got to where he was. Then the boy kicked him on that same leg a little as Aiden fell to the ground again.

"Don't you think you're too immature for your age considering what you're doing?". Oliver uttered to the boy glancing at him and his friends.

"What did you just say?". The boy uttered moving front a little. Then he voiced out once again, "Do you wanna fight? You can attack me if you want".

"He doesn't have the strength to, none of them have the strength to, they are just little kids". One of the boy's friends uttered to him.

..And with that, all of them burst out laughing.

Aiden just sat on the ground glancing at the guy with that annoyed expression plastered to his face. He was boiling with anger at this moment. And in seconds, the boy and his friends began strolling off straight to the cafeteria.

..His friends were three in number plus the boy totaling all of them to four...the boy was the boss.

As usual, Oliver helped Aiden stand up from the ground. Then Aiden dusted his clothes as it was somehow dusty due to his falling on the ground. Then Oliver said to him,

"Aiden, are you sure you don't wanna report this to either your father or one of the teachers? There's no doubting it, as far as you don't do something about it, it would persist".

"Don't worry about it, as I've told you before, I'll do something else". Aiden uttered.

"Tell me what you plan on doing". Said Oliver.

"Not now, I'll most likely tell you later".

Then Ava's voice resounded at that moment, "I wonder how the other kids he's been bullying have been managing to endure it? He keeps doing it, which means no one had taken the initiative to report him. And again, you can't reason with bullies, they just do what they want to do".

That was just the absolute truth. Standing on that spot, Aiden remembered again how he was bullied in his previous life before reincarnation. He was passing through a lot at home, and bullies at school wouldn't let him rest...you can't reason with them...

..It was hell.

These bullies were making him remember those terrible experiences. He was gonna deal with them at the right time. He glanced at Oliver and Ava and said to both of them,

"Make sure you guys don't report on my behalf, alright?".

Oliver reluctantly said, "Sure", and Ava said the same thing as well. Then the three of them continued their journey toward the cafeteria.

That day after school, it was closing hour, and students were heading home. As usual, some fathers were coming to pick up their children, while some would have to stroll home themselves.

Aiden's dad wouldn't be coming to pick him up today. So while Aiden, Ava, and Oliver were sauntering home together, they were still at the school compound when they sighted that same guy bullying a young boy that was a little older than them.

According to what they were seeing, he was about 9 years old. And the boy wasn't doing the bullying alone, he was doing it with his friends. They kept on pushing the boy as he was falling to the ground. And each time he fell to the ground, they'll laugh out loud.

They were doing it at a certain corner where people wouldn't notice them. This was the first time Aiden and Oliver were seeing them bully a kid...but this wasn't the first time for, Ava.

"That boy could be the son of an official, and he's definitely older than us". Oliver uttered glancing at the boy and the bullies.

"Or maybe not. Just because they said they love bullying people whose fathers were officials doesn't mean they don't bully other kids as well. Bullies would always be bullies. But everything I said is based on probability though". Ava voiced out with her gaze focused on the boy they were bullying and the bullies themselves.

"Is it that these boys they are bullying don't have the guts to report them or what? How can they endure this for long?". Oliver voiced out once again.

'You wouldn't understand, Oliver'. Aiden thought to himself with his gaze focused on the boy and the bullies as well. He had experienced this in his previous life, so he understood. He knew the reason why they couldn't just report like that.

Maybe some of the boys had taken the initiative to report them, but the bullies could easily deny it. And when the teachers or the people they report to don't see evidence...they'll easily push the matter aside.

As Aiden was glancing at them bullying the boy, he was feeling extreme anger, but he was just holding it in. What can he do now? Does he want to go fight them? They'll beat the hell out of him.

One, they were older than him, and they were more than one. Two, he was still weak, he hadn't even awakened an affinity yet. But some of those boys might have awakened a power element 'cause all of them were above ten years old.

All of them were teenagers. The ones that have the mana core in them would have awakened their powers by now.

..But for sure, he was gonna deal with them...at the right time.

He just took his gaze off them as he and his friends continued walking until they were out of the school compound completely.

******

The next day at school, while Aiden and his friends were strolling toward the cafeteria, Aiden was glancing back to see if the boy and his friends would try to come close to him and cause him to fall to the ground again.

..Even his friends, Oliver and Ava were also watching out for him.

For three good times, those things happened to Aiden, and they weren't aware of it 'cause they were busy discussing. But now, they wanted to see if the boy would still try to come close to Aiden and cause him to fall to the ground now that they were cautious.

But the boy and his friends weren't fools? Even if they wanted to come close to Aiden and cause him to fall to the ground before, they wouldn't do it anymore noticing that they were cautious today.

..But normally, they didn't plan on causing Aiden to fall to the ground at this moment...he wasn't their target for now.

They wouldn't cause him to fall to the ground at break hour, but they were gonna cause another student to fall to the ground at this same break hour which they were gonna do when Aiden had already entered the cafeteria with his friends.
