Magus Supremacy-Chapter 50: Hypocrites!

"Owwww! I'm in so much pains!" Grey shouted as his eyes were slowly being opened up to see himself in his small house while wrapped with a blanket.

"Oh! I'm back home." He said as he looked around to see he was in the living room while a sweet smell wafted into his nose.

"Jesse! Go check if Grey is awake." Clara called out from the kitchen. Hearing the name again, Grey clenched his teeth in anger as he could see the small girl heading his way.

"You are awake." Jesse called out in her little voice. Jesse was a little girl of eight years old with short black hair and black eyes.

"How are you feeling?" She asked as she came over and was touch Grey when he shot her a glaring look that made her shiver.

"What are you doing here?!" He shouted angrily and Jesse slowly back away.

And feeling the pure anger coming off of Grey, she began crying profusely but it didn't help to calm Grey down as he glared at her more which made her erupt into more cry.

"I'm…I'm sorry brother Grey." She apologized while crying.

"Don't you dare call me your brother, I'm not your brother!" Grey shouted angrily.

Hearing the angry voice, Clara quickly rushed out of the kitchen in haste and could see Grey standing up with an angry expression on his face with the whole atmosphere of the house feeling heavy and suffocating.

"Grey! What are you doing?" Clara asked and he quickly cancelled his overwhelming aura and walked towards his mum.

"Mum! What is she doing here?" He asked.

"What do you mean? We were both there when her parents died and she has nowhere to go. So I invited her to stay with us let me take care of her." Clara replied.

"Have you forgotten that because of her, you nearly lost your life? I almost lost my only pillar because of her and you allowed her here?" Grey shouted.

"She didn't force me, I risked my life to save her voluntarily." Clara retorted back.

"Which was quite a foolish thing to do mum! What if I wasn't a mage, what if I hadn't unlocked my affinities then… or I wasn't strong enough, did you think about that?" Grey asked.

"I know… I know I acted impulsively but I couldn't watch as an innocent child got killed in front of me." Clara replied.

"But…" Grey was about to say when a loud knock was heard on their small door.

"Huh? We never receive visitors? Who's there?" Clara wondered and Grey just causally walked towards the door and swung it open to see dozens of people in front of him.

They all had beaming smiles on their faces while carrying baskets in their hands and seeing Grey, their smiles widened more as they all cheered at once.

"Hurray for Grey, our town's saviour! Thank you so much for saving us!" They all said at once and Grey just stood there dumbfounded.

Then they all stepped forward and presented the baskets they all had in their hands towards Grey and a middle aged man who looked to be older than the others stepped forward.

"This is a small token of appreciation from all of us for saving us from the beast attack. Yes! The squad captain of the Lunaria academy finished off the beasts, but without you at the beginning, we would have all died before he arrived." The man said while bowing down slightly.

Grey didn't reply at first as he looked at them all then he grit his teeth in anger with his hands clenched and then memories began flashing through his mind.

"I can't believe it, he was born without an affinity! Tch! What a useless kid."

"Clark! Please! You are injuring me. Please anyone, please save me."

"Let them be, he is worthless, so no need to save him. Instead let the one with a magical affinity practice a little longer."

'This world… this town is hypocritical!' he thought in his head and his mana began flowing out of him.

"You… you… you are all hypocrites!" Grey shouted out loud towards the people in front of him and they were taken aback by the sudden outburst.

"What? Now you are coming to thank me? Now you suddenly realize my worth? I still remember that none of you even knew who I was until that day. Did you all know my name?" He asked and they all looked at each other breaking out in a slight sweat.

"No! You all knew me as a cripple just because I couldn't use magic then. I step into the streets, I get taunted. I get bullied, no one steps in to intervene. And now, you are suddenly grateful to this cripple?" He asked.

"But…" the middle aged man was about to say.

"Silence!" Grey shouted and his red hair began floating slowly and a huge pressure suddenly washed over the people as the air became slightly suffocating making it hard to stand in his presence.

"Grey…" Clara called out softly while coming out to hold his hands preventing him from doing anything silly.

"Let me speak mum!" He said then he turned towards the people in front of him. "You all have the money to get all these gifts, but where were you all when my dad died? No one came to help us, not even to gift a bronze coin.

And you are all stepping forward now with gifts that possibly cost a lot of silver coins. Tch! Pathetic."

"We… we are so sorry Grey. I know we did you and your family wrong." The middle aged man apologized.

"Oh please! Save it, I don't need your apology. All I need is you all to get out of my sight now before I do something terrible to you all!" Grey shouted and his left hand erupted in flames.

Seeing this, the people were shuffling around about to leave.

"Wait!" Grey called out and they all stopped to turn around. "Before you all leave, I need to clear this misconception. I didn't save your little town out of the goodness of my heart. I don't even care if it burns down to the ground. I saved it because my mum was in danger and I needed to battle against the beasts hence saving your pathetic town in the process.

Now with that cleared up, you may all leave!"

Without wasting time, they all quickly turned around and began leaving while the middle aged man broke out in a slight sweat.

'I hope we haven't made an enemy out of him. Because if so, I don't think that the town lord could protect us.' he thought.
