Immediately the liquid entered Alan's gut, he felt a stinging pain swimming through his body. It was like a large electric snake was coiling around him. There was no part of his body that was protected from these stings. 

Normally, this amount of painful electric sting would have created dark patches on his skin, but surprisingly, his skin still remained healthy. 

Alan was not able to bear the pain any longer. He thrashed around, smashing all the furniture as he tried to please his pain. There was nothing he could do that could make it stop. 

It was akin to the feeling one gets when he tries to scratch his back but his hands can't reach the exact spot. 

After this entire ordeal went on for about five minutes, a different sensation took place.

Was it painful pleasure or simply pleasure?

Alan could not discern in his fuddled state. From his perspective, all around him was spinning, and he was welcomed into a larger world. A world that was full of wonders and perpetual mysteries. 

As for the new sensation, the best way to describe it was that each time the familiar 'electric snake' sparked him, he would receive the normal response– pain—- but this time, along with a subtle gush of pleasure. 

However, it wasn't so subtle when the majority of the sensation he felt was pain. Once he focused on this minor pleasure, he would gain the ability to overcome the pain, and…..in fact, he would seek more pain just to relive the experience!

What was the term called again?... Masochism. 

Alan thought he was gradually becoming a masochist. 

Unfortunately, the stinging stopped at a particular time. Alan was now unburdened but he was yet again attracted by his new perspective. 

This new world was just too beautiful to ignore. He reached his hand in the not-so empty air and touched the air current.

"Ahhh. Ahhh. More. More."

With his heightened senses, he picked up on the moans originating from the rooms around him, but his ear only paid attention to one particular moan. That was because he had recognized the voices. 

They belonged to his supposedly 'friends'.

Was this a coincidence or not? 

Alan was not in the right state to give a damn about that!

Anger filled his mind and he let it free. Bursting through the empty air, Alan broke the room door and searched the corridor for the exact location of the moans. 

Soon, he found it!

Alan bashed through the room. His sudden appearance shocked the three bullies, but they quickly recovered as soon as they noticed it was just Alan.

"Alan, what do you think you are doing?" demanded Derrick. 

His eyes revealed an evil glint. He stood up to face the unresponsive whose only proof of life was not his breathing but the red electric ring that circulated around his iris. 

It gave Alan, the mortal, the demeanor of a ravager. His entire aura seemed to be screaming angrily, which was the opposite of what his physical actions were.

Of course, Derrick would not think much of this. He dismissed all the warnings at the back of his head and approached Alan.

"Why the fuck are you–"

*Whoosh!*

Alan's hands casually moved, but this supposedly normal movement was too fast for Derrick to detect. The latter did not know what happened until it hit him. 

He flew into the wall and embedded himself into it. His body quickly became unresponsive. 

The other two bullies revealed shocking expressions. 

They failed to process what had just happened. 

How did Alan successfully slap Derrick into an unconscious state?

Even if one factored the element of surprise, Derrick was, after all, a brilliant mage. His physique, while not as strong as ki-warriors, was far mightier than the mortal physique. 

There was no reason for Alan's attack to produce the opposite outcome. 

This was not making sense to them

Mathias instinctively powered his body with ki, "I don't know what you did, but don't think you are going to get away with this."

He cautiously paced towards Alan while the third bully, Tophas, was just behind him. 

The two bullies then jumped at Alan, just after the prostitutes of the brothel slipped out of the room frantically. 

Mathias dished out a flying punch with his full power, but Alan blocked it with his two arms. It seemed like the strength difference between the two of them tipped in Mathias' favor as Alan was pushed back a bit. 

Tophas took advantage of that by kicking the lower body of Alan, throwing him off balance. Mathias quickly joined the fight with a deadly stomp that shook the room. 

In less than one minute, the two bullies showed that they didn't just play in Narva Academy. They also learned a few things and amassed a vast combat experience that Alan could not even begin to match.

Tophas snaked behind Alan and attempted a lock. He was successful. Alan was now trapped in his lock.

Mathias punched his face, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Alan remained silent. 

He was punched by Mathias again, "Answer me!"

…and again…and again. 

Mathias' arms soon became heavy after all his exertion of ki. Yet, Alan was not bulging. It was unknown whether he refused to speak or he could not speak. 

Whatever the case was, the silent stare he gave Mathias was more than unearthing. 

"Life is but a dream," whispered Alan. 

"Huh, motherfucker? What did you say?!" challenged Mathias. 

"Life is but a dream!"

….and true to his words, Alan sunk deeply into his fantasy dream.

Out of nowhere, Alan broke out of the hold with a quick jab to Tophas' face. He followed this with a swift movement of his fingers. 

From it came a bright energy bullet that pierced Mathias' guts. 

The latter screamed in shock, "What? You can use ki?...How is this possible?!"

Mathias and Tophas were at the lowest bottom of ki-mastery. They could only augment their body with ki, but not outwardly manipulate it. 

So, when they saw Alan, who was a mortal a few moments ago, skip the first stage and unleash a blast of ki, imagine their surprise.

Alan took advantage of the situation as he grabbed the necks of the two bullies and slammed their heads together. He kept battering their bodies even when he realized that they were knocked out. 

Tonight, he would live his fantasy dream!
