He grabbed Dylan in a form of embrace, and he did so really tightly. He didn’t only grab him, these words also flowed out of his mouth as well,
“Why can’t you just relax?”.
“Why didn’t you and your guys relax when you were disturbing the hell out of me and Ryan’s lives? Why didn’t you chill? Now that I want to go report you guys for your wrongdoings, you want me to chill?
No, I can’t do that, I need to report you guys so you’d get punished”. Those were the words that flowed out of Dylan’s mouth as the boy was still holding on to him tightly.
For seconds, Dylan couldn’t free himself from the boy’s grip. But slowly, after applying some tactics, he began freeing himself from the boy’s grip.
After freeing himself from the boy’s grip, he resumed walking toward the particular office he was heading toward. The boy didn’t plan on giving up though, he was going to keep trying to stop Dylan.
The other boys didn’t stand in a particular spot watching all these happen. They were in motion and were trying to walk alongside Dylan though they couldn’t seem to do so properly.
The boy stood in front of Dylan once again, and an annoyed expression appeared on Dylan’s face the moment that happened…
Not like he hadn’t been annoyed all this while, but the annoyance vanished from his face at some point. But seeing that the boy was persistent had made the annoyed expression appear on his face once again.
He planned on doing something the moment he reaches the boy…but he didn’t show it in his action or anything. The boy didn’t have a single idea Dylan planned on doing something the moment he reaches him.
The moment Dylan reached the boy, he threw a nice punch directly at the boy’s face. Now, it was so unexpected and swift, but the boy still managed to dodge it as Dylan’s hand swung past.
But that had created space for Dylan to keep moving, the boy wasn’t in front of him anymore. He was still walking when he felt someone grab him.
He glanced at the person, and it was the boy…
‘Damn! He’s so persistent. So they’re afraid of getting reported but never gave us a chance to rest? Disturbance here and there’. Dylan thought to himself after glancing at the boy.
He tried freeing himself from the boy’s grip, but he couldn’t just, the boy gripped him really tightly.
..Since he couldn’t free himself from the boy’s grip in a particular way, then he was going to try out another way.
And what way was that? He threw another punch at the boy’s face. The boy grabbed him in a way whereby his face had to be bent a little.
So Dylan had to carry the punch from below, and it came with immense force. The boy wouldn’t let the punch touch him, he’d have to dodge it. And for him to dodge it, he’d have to let go of Dylan.
And that was exactly what happened, he dodged the punch and let go of Dylan. That was exactly the reason why Dylan threw the punch in the first place, so the boy could let go of him and he could continue walking.
After the boy let go of him, he turned around and resumed walking. He hadn’t even taken up to three steps when he felt the boy grab his right shoulder.
He turned around and glanced at the boy…and the moment he was doing so, the boy’s hand was heading toward his face. Yes, the boy had thrown a nice punch with the aim of hitting his face with it.
Dylan was so surprised to see the boy’s hand head toward his face. So this boy had the effrontery to throw a punch at him as well instead of begging him not to report them?
His ego was on a high level, in fact, their ego was on a high level…
Dylan dodged the boy’s punch though it was somehow unexpected, then he threw a punch at the boy as well which the boy made sure to dodge.
And that was how they started throwing punches at each other. None of them were able to hit each other because they kept dodging each other’s attacks.
The other boys had to stand at a particular spot watching the occurrence taking place in front of them right now. How could the one that could be referred to as their leader be throwing punches with Dylan instead of begging him?
Fighting him would only add to the anger he was feeling and would make him more determined to report them. How could he not think about this? That was their mindset.
They kept throwing punches at each other until Dylan was able to finally hit the boy in the stomach. Yes, one of his punches hit the boy’s stomach, and he felt pain from it.
He didn’t only feel pain from it, he also moved back a little. Dylan didn’t make use of this opportunity to resume walking, he just stood there glancing at the boy.
After the pain the boy was feeling had reduced, he glanced at Dylan and ran toward him, coming with another punch…
With the way the boy was coming with the punch, Dylan knew he’d be able to dodge it easily and even hit him again. And that was exactly what happened, Dylan dodged the punch as the boy’s hand swung past.
Then he landed another punch on the boy’s stomach exactly on that same spot where he hit him before. The pain doubled that the boy even had to groan and move back a little with his right hand on his stomach.
Dylan was proving to him, in fact, he was proving to them that he wasn’t a weakling at all because the others were watching. He’d hit the boy twice since they started throwing punches at each other, but the boy hadn’t hit him at all.
They all possessed an affinity, and he also possessed an affinity as well.
He stood there glancing at the boy as his right hand was still on his stomach. He could tell that the boy was in pain, but he wasn’t feeling sorry for him at all…he deserved it and even more.
The boy glanced at Dylan, and Dylan wasn’t smiling at all, a serious expression was plastered on his face. And at that moment, the boy became a little intimidated.
In fact, it could be said that Dylan was a little scary right now…
Apart from the other bullies, other students outside the academy had been watching everything that had been taking place, including Ryan.
They stood in a way whereby they were able to see everything that was happening. They saw everything, how the boy had been trying to stop Dylan from reaching one of the teachers’ offices, when they started throwing punches at each other.
When Dylan punched him twice in the stomach, and the boy was in pain right now with his right hand on his stomach.
Ryan just stood there glancing at everything with widened eyes. Dylan wasn’t joking at all, they’d pushed him past his limit. He was so bent on reporting them to the teachers that he even fought when he needed to, and even came out victorious.
The boy was still staring at Dylan, and Dylan was doing the same as well. Dylan stared at him for a few more seconds before he took his gaze off him and resumed walking toward one of the teachers’ offices.
And he hadn’t walked for even up to four seconds when he heard the boy’s voice,
“Please”.
He stopped walking but didn’t glance at the boy the moment he heard his voice and what he said. He was a little surprised that the word ‘please’ flowed out of the boy’s mouth.
Well, the surprise didn’t last for long because it took a long time before the boy could finally say it out. He voiced it out because that was the last option he had right now to stop him from reporting them.
He’d tried everything to stop him, like grabbing him, and even fighting him, but all of them were in vain. So the last option he had right now was to beg.
Begging him would hurt his pride, but he just had to do it.
Dylan hadn’t even glanced at the boy, but he didn’t move an inch either, he was still standing on that same spot. Then the boy’s voice resounded again,

“Please, don’t report us”.
And it was at this moment that Dylan finally glanced at the boy, then he voiced out,
“And why should I do that? Why shouldn’t I report you guys after the distresses you’ve caused to me and Ryan’s lives, including the other students you guys do bully? You guys deserve to be punished immensely”.
“Yes, I’m fully aware of that, I know we deserve to be punished immensely. But please, don’t put us in such a situation, it would be terrible”. The boy’s voice resounded again.
“Weren’t you thinking about all these when you were causing distress to me and Ryan’s lives? You guys don’t deserve pity at all because you don’t pity others”. Dylan uttered with anger evident in his voice.
