Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!-Chapter 41 - - Two Monsters (Part 1)

His words echoed in the silent gymnasium as every student stared at him with complicated expressions. For a second, they forgot that Rim Kyung was still there, listening and seeing what was happening.

Seeing his smile, many shuddered while others simply looked away. They couldn't bear to look at him after everything that happened.

"Why is everyone staring at me that way, huh? Did you really think she was going to help you become strong? Pfft, hahaha! You lot didn't even kill cockroaches when the world was still at peace and now you suddenly want to kill monsters? I commend your optimism, it's truly amazing." He clapped as he laughed.

Rim Kyung loathed them all. He loathed their optimism, their will to live, and their belief that Hyun-Jae was going to give them the path toward those goals. He had boundless hatred toward her and Talon so his mind completely ignored the possibility that it could be true.

'There is no way she can turn these weak maggots into actual warriors. That is impossible!' He thought to himself.

"You lot can't do that and that's why you need me! You need me to keep you alive! And all I asked for was your loyalty and respect. Yet, you still couldn't even give me that! All I fucking asked was for you to listen to me and do what I say. Is that too hard to comprehend for your peanut brains?"

As Rim Kyung spoke, he didn't realize that his words were having a rather different effect on the students than what he expected. This wasn't the first time he mocked them in the last three days. In fact, he did that so often, the students started believing that they truly had no chance outside the gymnasium.

It made them lose any hope of survival even more and that led to what they were at currently. However, after seeing Hyun-Jae, their president, arrive and promise them a way to salvation, their morals skyrocketed like never before.

So, when they heard Rim Kyung's hateful words, their fear slowly started turning into anger. Frowns filled their faces and their fists balled.

The more he spoke, the more that anger started boiling. Until, at one point, it exploded.

"Shut the hell up!!" One student yelled loudly, taking everyone by surprise.

Even Rim Kyung was frozen in his place as his eyes wandered to that student. He didn't believe what he was hearing.

"All you do is mock us and insult us!! Who are you to determine whether we can become strong or not?! You piece of scum!!" The student closed his eyes and continued yelling as if he didn't care anymore.

The other students around him slowly realized what he was doing and started joining in.

"Yeah! We aren't your followers! You're just a greedy bastard!!"

"I don't listen to orders from you!!"

"Me neither! Get out of here!"

"Get out!!"

"Get out!!"

The insults quickly divulged into angry protests and chants to kick Rim Kyung out. The man himself stood in the middle of those hateful protests, unable to articulate words.

He thought everyone was under his grasp after he put them in their places. He thought he was finally getting the recognition he deserved as a leader. This was what he was working for years, day and night, to become a leader.

Yet, Hyun-Jae destroyed that dream of his... Twice.

"Stop…" Clenching his teeth, Rim Kyung murmured.

"Get the hell out, bastard!!"

"Stop." He repeated in a little louder voice.

"No one wants you here! Go and die outside!!"

"I SAID STOP!!!" The last one was the loudest, completely stopping the protests.

Looking around him, Rim Kyung's face was dark. "I guess there is no point in trying to redeem you, low-lives."

After that, Rim Kyung snapped his fingers. Immediately, a huge group of people surrounded him from all angles. Most of them looked like normal students while the rest had black suits akin to that of bodyguards.

"If you aren't going to listen to words, perhaps I should give you a taste of what it's like to try and oppose me." He said.

Seeing the muscular men intimidatingly looking at them, many students started retreating in fear. Rim Kyung's bodyguards were infamous on the campus. For some reason, he hired them to follow him all around the place as if he were an important politician.

No one knows why they were still following him even though the world ended.

"Yeah, retreat, cowards! You don't know who you're dealing with here!" Adjusting his glasses, Rim Kyung smiled wickedly as he was about to give the order for his followers to wreak havoc.

However, at that moment, someone stepped forward.

"Hm?" Rim Kyung's gaze shifted to the direction the person was coming from. It was none other than his newly found enemy, Talon.

"What do you want, huh? You still dare to approach me?!" Rim Kyung glared at Talon angrily as he threatened him. However, the latter didn't seem bothered at all.

"You're seriously something else, man. I don't even know what to say anymore." He said as he lifted his spear and rested it on his shoulder. His face was calm but his eyes were far from that.

"I'm going to shove your shoe in your mouth for what you did." He added with a cold tone.

'H-He's still joking even in this situation?' Everyone was blown away by Talon's shameless words.

Hyun-Jae watched with a smile. 'That's more like him than anything else…' She thought to herself.

"Spout all the nonsense you want. I will make you prostrate in front of me like a dog. Guards!" Rim Kyung snapped his fingers and three guards immediately rushed forward holding their batons toward Talon.

The way they moved was organized since they were professionally trained for years. They were seasoned fighters by all means. Talon stood in his place silently as he watched them.

"Move!!"

The students' hearts sunk in when they saw the three guards close the distance between them and their target. When they got close enough, they all attacked him with their batons.

Everyone closed their eyes, expecting to hear Talon's screams the next second. However, what happened was far from that. Out of nowhere, Talon suddenly moved like a flash, dodging the first baton before he changed his grip on the spear.

*BANG*

Swinging it powerfully, he hit the first guard on the side with the handle of the spear. A crisp sound of the man's ribs shattering filled the gymnasium followed by a screech of extreme pain. The hit sent the man flying and he fell on the ground violently.

Then, without waiting a moment, Talon extended his hand to grab the second baton without hesitation.

"What?!" The second guard quickly tried to pull his baton away, only to realize that it was completely stuck. Even with his amazing strength, he couldn't move it an inch.

Talon smiled before he swung the spear horizontally, hitting the man's head with the handle again, knocking him unconscious.

Meanwhile, the third guard's baton descended on Talon, hitting him on the back of his head.

"I got him!" The third guard exclaimed excitedly. The fear he felt witnessing his colleagues getting crushed easily made him forget to act professionally.

However, what he expected to happen after that hit never happened. Even after a few seconds, Talon still didn't fall to the ground.

Instead, he slowly stood up on his feet and looked back with an angry look on his face.

"That hurts." He said calmly before he clenched his fist and launched a punch aimed at the man's chin.

*BANG*

The hit twisted the man's head to the side, knocking him down with ease.

Everyone watched the scene in total silence. The place was so quiet that if a needle was to be dropped there, it would be heard loud and clear. No one could understand what just occurred even though they saw it with their own eyes.

"He… defeated them?"

"Am I hallucinating?"

"No, he definitely defeated them! And he didn't even seem like he was struggling at all!"

Shocked murmurs and gossip filled the place.

"Tsk. I need to seriously learn how to fight other people."

Meanwhile, Talon looked down at his own hand with a thoughtful look. When he stepped forward, he expected that he could defeat three guards without sustaining a hit. Yet, he was still hit with a baton at the end.

"Martial arts aren't common in this world?" Acrypha asked as she floated next to him.

"It's popular, I just don't know any martial arts."

"Maybe I can help you a little in that regard." Acrypah thought for a second as she replied.

"Wait, you can? That would be fantastic!" Talon replied excitedly.

Seeing his sparkling eyes, Acrypha could only chuckle amusedly. In her eyes, Talon looked like a cute child eager to get what he wanted and she found that really adorable.

'Hey, what am I thinking of now?' Shaking those thoughts away, she was about to speak when she heard a loud yell.

"What the hell happened there?!" Rim Kyung pointed his finger shakingly at the three unconscious guards with a terrified look.

'W-What?! How did he do that?!'
