Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Bang! The door to the roof was opened in a wild manner, slamming against the walls of the structure that led to the roof. Benson had appeared with four other students that carried a mean look on their faces, and as everyone saw them appear their faces changed as they knew full well that these were the famous Four Kings of the campus, renowned for their acts of violence towards other students.

"Nero, get the hell out!" Benson called out savagely, the husky youths behind him laughing as if they found something funny.

Benson's eyes shifted as he looked around and saw Nero, who was oddly staring at Ryo in silence. When the students heard Benson's words and saw the direction he had turned, only now did a few of them realize that the person on the roof was Nero.

A few were surprised as they wondered what he had gone through to adopt such a change, while some girls had flashing eyes. Still, regardless of what elixir he might have had, it wouldn't change him at his core, as they knew full well that whenever Benson came, it would lead to the usual harsh beating.

The brisk wind blew across the compound, sending scattered leaves from nearby trees everywhere as if it felt the change in the atmosphere. Despite it, however, Nero didn't even spare a glance at Benson, causing everyone to look at him in shock as he was only looking at Ryo with suspicion.

"T-this... h-has Nero gone mad, how long is going to ignore him?" A timid looking youth said as he glanced at Nero's direction.

Some of them who came from Nero's class were also on the roof; they knew that this would happen sooner or later, and they wanted to see him get bashed in, especially the boys that were jealous of his newfound look.

"Haha, good! This Nero is arrogant, look at him acting all tough and shit just because he got some money for a makeover," A straight-faced youth said with large teeth.

"It serves him right, who knows what he must have even done to that female classmate? An angel like that shouldn't be classed with poor trash," Another jealous youth said, recalling the scene in the classroom moments ago.

The tension seemed as if it was nearing its limits, as Benson was boiling in fury, but right before he could do anything something happened.

Ah-chu! Ryo sneezed as his glasses became a bit out of place, and his nose was runny. He reached for a napkin and blew his nose, causing the noise to resound across the silent scene as he spoke in an accented voice, "Oh, it seems my allergies are acting up again such a bummer."

Nero knitted his brows, taking his attention from Ryo, who had now stopped paying attention to him. He lowered his head and scratched his chin as he thought while staring at the scene below the roof, 'Was it just my imagination? Is there something unusual about this fellow?'"

Nero waited for a while but didn't hear anything from Adult Nero; he clicked his teeth, not bothering to question him again.

At this time, the extremely enraged voice of Benson sounded from behind Nero once again, "NERO, I'M SPEAKING TO YOU!"

Due to the place being quiet, the shout was loud as it sounded far and wide. As Benson wasn't any threat, only now did Nero found that he was here as his Spiritual Awareness didn't even sense him, he looked at him in an annoyed manner as he spoke in an indifferent tone, "Benson, can't you see that everyone's eating? What do you want?"

Benson's eyes widen in shock as he had never heard Nero speak to him in such a tone, even a few others couldn't help but usher.

"Haha, this Nero is cool! Not even afraid of Benson, even if he gets his ass kicked, I'm going to be his fan!" A girl said as she looked at Nero.

"Hehe, I was thinking the same thing, poor Benson, I bet he didn't think he would have such a day," Another girl said.

A few other students also chuckled at his misfortune, but Benson didn't take this occurrence lightly. His face became filled with veins as he glared at Nero as if he saw an enemy, he shouted, "Nero, today I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget! LET'S BEAT HIMMMM!"

Following Benson's savage battle cry with spit flying from his mouth, he charged towards Nero with his fat and muscular figure no different from a bull; the other youths also looked eager for a fight.

"Be careful!" A faint-hearted girl said as she saw them run over, she originally never knew of Nero, but as she saw how his small figure compared to the others, she couldn't help but worry.

Nero's new fans also had similar expressions, but he didn't' pay them any mind. In fact, he didn't even pay attention to Benson and his friends, he rose to his feet and packed up his lunch as he spoke, "You guys don't even know your priorities… why are you even in school? To learn or to act like criminals?"

Following Nero's word, Benson was the first to arrive before him; he struck his meaty fist towards his face causing a few girls to make 'Kya!' noises and close their eyes.

Yet, no matter how long they waited with their eyes closed, they didn't hear the expected bashing of a fist meeting a face or anyone screaming in intense pain.

They opened their eyes to see that Nero had blocked Benson's fist with his finger, causing them to open their mouths wide, unable to say anything.

Much like everyone, Benson was similarly in a state of panic as he saw what happened to his fist, he trembled as he spoke, "You... you... how did you do it?"

Nero didn't pay him any mind; he swept his other hand forward and used his finger to smack Benson's forehead causing him to retreat a few meters as his back hit the wall.

The other bullies that saw this had already halted their steps, they trembled as they shouted in a panic while running off, "He's a freak!"

Benson, who now held his forehead gritted his teeth in pain as one of his eyes remained closed, he tremblingly stared at Nero who looked at him with cold eyes as his voice sounded at his core, "Don't provoke me again..."

As Nero said this, he lifted his backpack and left the roof, heading towards the classroom. Everyone was still in surprise, but it only took a few moments before they recovered as they too began to leave the roof while speaking.

"Incredible, when did he get so badass? It's as if he's a different person!" One person said.

"I don't know, but right now, I can only say that someone has lost their right to claim themselves king on this compound!" Someone said with a mocking tone.

"Hehe, so indeed," Another voice said while giggling.

Soon, the noise had faded, and only a few individuals were left on the rooftop.

A snoring noise still resounded as the person sleeping had yet to awaken, while Ryo had only now packed up his lunch box, before leaving the area and heading to the classroom, his face having a faint smile.

Benson, having recovered from his daze, felt anger, but he knew he could do nothing to Nero from this point. Suddenly, his eyes flashed as he recalled a few figures, a hawk nose youth, and the handsome black-haired teen with purple pupils, and a few others.

He trembled as he thought to himself, 'How is this possible? When did Nero become as freakish as those from that class?'

As Benson thought this, he gritted his teeth as he rose to his feet, his eyes showing a fierce look as he decided in his mind, 'That bastard, since I can't do anything about this, then what about your personal enemy. Hmph! I've had enough! I won't do another man's dirty work anymore.'

The moment Benson finished his words, he left the roof in a huff, not even wasting any moment of time, he had to hurry and pass on the news before the next classes start.

Now, the roof only had the snoring fellow that seemed to have no care in the world. It seemed as if he was a free spirit that roamed the modern world, finding a temporary resting ground.

Suddenly, the snoring stopped, and the youth made a slight utterance, 'Uh, what was all that racket? Nero? I didn't think there were so many people with that name. Maybe it's only a coincidence...'

After saying this, the youth scratched his chest and slowly picked up the straw hat that covered his head, revealing a slim face with a straight nose, long forehead, broad lips, and hair done in a locks style.

As he rose to his feet and brushed the dirt from his casual trousers and hooded shirt, he then left the roof with a lazy yawn as he spoke his thoughts out loud, "Ah well, time for the next set of classes, school is so darn booooring."

As the youth left the roof and went to his classes, the blue sky soon shifted from its vibrant azure hue to more of a soft orange-ish blue, as today's school's activities finally came to an end.
