The boy thought they had finally caught Aiden, he thought the kick was gonna hit him. The kick had gotten so close to him, and it doesn't seem like he was gonna dodge it...maybe he couldn't dodge it.

But the thing was, Aiden was just passing time, he decided to stand there until the kick gets very close to him, and that's when he'll run out of that place. And that's what he did, by the time the kick had gotten so close to his face, it had become so slow...and he ran out of that place.

The boy's leg just swung past with speed, it didn't hit anyone, Aiden wasn't there anymore. But he wasn't standing at the boy's side or anything, he was standing some meters away from him...he wanted to do something, he wanted to give him a serious punch in the stomach.

Cyrus and one other boy had already sighted where Aiden was standing now, but before the boy that wanted to kick him could swivel his head around to glance at Aiden, Aiden was already running toward him with speed aiming to punch his stomach.

Now, Aiden made use of the speed dash skill, he was running toward the boy with immense speed, and he was aiming to punch his stomach with that same speed.

..Imagine the kind of force the punch was gonna come with and the kind of pain the boy was gonna feel.

Before the boy could even turn around to glance at Aiden, Aiden had already reached where he was standing and a nice punch was already heading toward his stomach.

The punch hit the boy's stomach, and his eyes widened, his mouth opened as blood spilled out, and he flew off and landed on the ground with a thud. He felt extreme pain that he even had to spit out blood.

Considering the kind of speed Aiden used in running toward him and the kind of speed the punch used in heading toward his stomach, he was sure to spit out blood and feel immense pain.

He landed on the ground as dust filled the air with both of his palms on his stomach.

Aiden stood there waiting for who was gonna attack next, was it Cyrus? Or the other boy? Aiden had punched two already, and both of them were still feeling pain from the punching. One was lying on the ground with both of his palms on his stomach.

And the other was standing but didn't dare to attack Aiden anymore...at least, not now. The other boy just stood glancing at Aiden, he was contemplating if he should attack him or not...he was a little scared.

"Attack him!!". Cyrus voiced out audibly.

And hearing that, the boy foolishly ran toward Aiden aiming to punch him in the face. He reached where Aiden was standing and threw a straight punch...the one that was gonna hit Aiden directly in his front face.

But before his fist could even reach Aiden's face, he wasn't there anymore. Aiden was standing at his back currently, and the boy began glancing around wanting to see where Aiden was right now.

..He didn't know Aiden was at his back currently, and he hadn't sighted him.

Aiden had to tap him for the boy to know he was at his back at that moment. As the boy was already turning around to glance at him and throw another attack quickly, Aiden had already prepared to kick him in the stomach.

So by the time the boy had already swiveled around completely, a nice kick was already heading toward his stomach. Before he could do anything, the kick hit him in the stomach with force he moved back immediately and almost fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, there was something Aiden wasn't aware of. While he was at the boy's back, Cyrus had already begun darting toward him without making too much noise with his footsteps.

And the moment Aiden kicked the boy in the stomach, Cyrus had already gotten so close to him. But Aiden quickly discerned that someone was at his back, and he quickly turned around and sighted Cyrus.

Cyrus didn't waste time as he stretched his hand toward Aiden to grab him, but the hand was moving so slowly toward Aiden 'cause he was already making use of the speed dash skill. Before the hand could even reach where Aiden was, he had run out of that place already.

The person Cyrus wanted to grab wasn't there anymore, he quickly discerned that he must have run off. He turned around immediately, and a nice kick landed in his stomach causing him to move back and fall to the ground.

'This is such a cool skill, I'm already dealing with them'. Aiden thought to himself with a smirk on his face.

He was standing in front of them currently, and Cyrus was already standing up from the ground by now. All of them weren't feeling pain anymore, and what was running through their minds at that moment was,

'We underestimated this boy'.

..They couldn't just understand how he was able to make use of the speed ability...how.

But they didn't plan on letting him go, they weren't backing down even if Cyrus doesn't tell them anything. They felt if they keep on trying, they'll be able to beat him up eventually even if they receive some beatings from him here and there.

They felt he'll reveal his weak side, and they'll take advantage of that to defeat him. At this moment, the ones that possess affinities were about to make use of them. They didn't care if they'd learned to wield mana or not...they were gonna make use of their power elements at this moment.

They were four in number, three possesses an affinity each, while one doesn't. Now, you might be wondering, how was he able to join their group though he doesn't possess an ability?

Remember, those that don't awaken a single affinity were considered useless for some time. But the boy was able to join their group 'cause he proved himself to them. Though he doesn't possess a power element, he was good at other things.

And due to that, he was able to join the group of bullies. They were about to make use of their powers to battle, Aiden. As said, they hadn't trained them, they hadn't learned to wield mana...but they didn't care. They were gonna make use of them to the best of their capabilities.

Aiden had already discerned this, he had already discerned they were about to make use of their affinities, and now was the time to activate the high jump skill 'cause he was gonna need it for the current event that was about to take place.

Without wasting time, he said in his mind, 'Activate high jump'.

<High jump has been activated>

<5 Skill points have been deducted from your skill points>

'And it's done'. Aiden uttered in his thought once again.

Now, because he has activated the high jump skill doesn't mean the speed dash skill has been disabled. He can still make use of the speed dash skill as well as the high jump skill. He'll have to disable a skill himself after activating it before he wouldn't be able to make use of it anymore.

And disabling it means he'll have to say it. They were so ready to make use of their powers on him...and Aiden was ready for them. At that moment, Cyrus began running toward Aiden as flame was already forming on his right palm.

He hadn't learned to wield mana properly, but at least, he could do some basic things like blasting someone's face with fire. He was taught that by someone with the fire power element as well.

Aiden wasn't surprised to see fire forming on his palm, he already knew this was his affinity by glancing at his status. He got close to Aiden and forwarded his hand as something like a fireball began heading toward Aiden's face.

..Now, if that fireball touches his face, it would be really bad. He was a small boy, it was gonna cause immense damage to his face.

But Cyrus doesn't seem to care, a 7-year-old boy was beating them like it was nothing. He wanted that fireball to blast his face and even damage it. But Aiden wouldn't let that happen.

Before the fireball could reach his face to blast it, Aiden jumped as the fireball moved past. He controlled his jumping, so he didn't jump too high before landing back on the ground.

Cyrus was already forming another fireball on his hand with the help of mana, but Aiden wouldn't let him make use of it at all.

'Cyrus, the boss of the bullies. It's about time to handle you, it's about time to weaken you completely'. Aiden thought to himself with his gaze focused on Cyrus.
