I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

“I’m sorry about that,” the one named Oglak spoke. He got nothing special about him, not bigger than others, not having anything special about his suit except for its red colour.

But one had to note that all the suits coming with him were red in colour as well.

“No problem, I used to get such an impression at first,” I waved my hand at him, “but soon they all got to change their minds.”

“And what will change ours? This show of force?” Oglak shifted so damn fast from being humble to overbearing and quite rude, “you do know that we are a fierce race. Facing strong foes is nothing to us, it’s just another normal day in our life.”

“Hmm… So you are saying that being overbearing for someone who came from such a lowly race isn’t enough?” I laughed, “then how about I tell you all this… I’m going to clash with all your forces inside my apocalypse trial.”

“This… Is bound to happen sooner or later,” one of them shouted, “we are fierce! We are mighty! We are domineering! We don’t wait for our enemies to come at us, instead we seek them out anywhere they are!”

“I’m glad about your excitement and pride for your people, but this time you got it all wrong,” I didn’t take such arrogant words to heart, and just laughed in a light way, “this time I’m the one bringing the fight over to your people.”

“This…”

“What does this even mean?”

“Coming at us? That’s unheard of!”

“You mean you are going to face our forces invading your world! Interesting twist in words, nice try!”

“Silence!” Oglak was one of the few who remained silent. I could feel the pressure of their gazes on me, as if they got to understand what I meant.

“Did you use a passing ticket to join another world?” Oglak indeed got the real meaning of what I said. But he got it in such a shallow way.

“Not only one,” I shook my head, “I got access to all the other nineteen worlds in my apocalypse trial, meaning that I’m going to invade every single world your people got at and fight them down to victory.”

“…”

The first reaction was such heavy silence. I could feel more gazes changing, falling over me in such a serious and dreadful way.

“No way! No one ever did such a crazy thing before!” and this time, Oglak saved everyone the trouble of speaking and expressing their thoughts as he said in loud and strong voice:

“We are Hescos! Every single race in this damn universe fears us! Even Toranks… Even those who call themselves our nemesis and enemies, our rivals, didn’t ever dare to do it. And yet some human kid is daring to claim that!”

“I’m not claiming anything, I’m just stating facts,” I showed an evil grin over my face, speaking in such calm and demeanour, “and as a result, your race had to interfere. They sent three more worlds to take in my trial, activating what’s known as the scorching ground plan.”

“Scor… No way! We only learn it when we face a deadly and dangerous enemy!”

“You… You are weighing too much of yourself!”

“Yes, he can’t be the one who made our people do such a move! He must be bluffing!”

“That’s if he is telling the truth!”

“Silence!” This time, Oglak’s shout was more loud and heavy, showing how deeply affected he was by my words. “Toranks, is it?” He was smart enough to guess who helped me do all this.

“That’s correct.”

“So you are their underdog? Quite an impressive feat for someone who came from such a race with no reputation.”

“Underdog? Hahaha! I’m their equal, not follower,” I laughed, not even thinking about the rude remarks he sent throughout his last comment. It looked as if he was praising me, and yet it was an insult in disguise!

“Equal? Are you out of your damn mind or what?” Oglak laughed when he heard my words, making me laugh in return.

“Then explain this to me, how come you were all brought and delivered to me?”

“This…” Oglak paused, “it may be part of their help to you.”

“Then they should have sent you with someone of their folks, a sovereign perhaps, to lead you and keep you under check, right?”

I didn’t change the smile over my face, instead I let it grow wider.

“This…”

“They sent you over to me, and even delivered your contracts over for me. You belong to none but me, and there is no one of them here. So…”

I waved my hands around before adding with such an irritating laugh, “you are all in my world and place, following my orders around. I’m your lord, and from now on you are part of my people and forces. How come an underdog, one who came from a low race, has such treatment from a mighty race? Or is it that you are now going down to the point that a bunch of you are worth nothing in Toranks eyes?”

“F*ck you!”

“Let us kill him now!”

“That’s an unforgivable insult!”

“Oglak! That’s enough! Let’s fight instead of getting humiliated like this.”

“Can you all shut the f*ck up?” This time, Oglak had to turn and face them while shouting in such anger.

He seemed enraged, not lesser than any of them by what I just said. However he also got the meaning behind my words.

Indeed if I was an underdog, then delivering such precious goods over to me couldn’t be done without tight security from Toranks.

Yet there were none of them here. They just sent them over and didn’t even care about following their actions here, or even mine.

What did this imply? I wasn’t their underdog, but their ally. They were dealing with me on equal grounds, with both of our heads at the same height.

“I have to give it to you… You did such an impossible feat, one that I never imagined it could happen!” Oglak then turned to me, while taking such a deep sigh. “So… You are really going against our people? Getting the support of Toranks? As shocking as this may seem, it’s still not enough to gain our respect and loyalty.”
