Manaless Mage-Chapter 17 Manaless Mage’s Pride[2]

Han and the other two figures didn't know why, but when they saw Harry's wide grin, they all felt chills run down their spine and they subconsciously gulped.

However, it didn't take long for Han to regain his composure. As he stared at Harry's grin, he felt his blood boil with rage. Harry was obviously making fun of him; he didn't need anyone to tell him that.

He still didn't understand the strange feeling of unease he felt earlier, but he definitely didn't like it. It made him feel like he was standing before someone far more powerful than him, the fact that he felt it from Harry made him more furious.

He tightly clenched his fists, how would he feel scared of that trash that doesn't even have a mana core?

"You think this is funny… I would wipe that grin off your face!" Han shouted. He suddenly ran straight towards Harry with his right hand clenched into a fist, he summoned all the strength in his body without holding in the slightest bit. He simply wanted to teach Harry a lesson.

He even ignored his surroundings, they were still in the academy compound and a lot of students had gathered around to watch their little scenario.

Some of the students around them were simply shaking their heads in pity for Harry, they felt that he should have just listened when Han asked him to, but instead, Harry did not just ignore him but also provoked him. The rest were just watching, not because they cared, but because they were looking for a good 'show' to watch.

The other two students behind Han broke out of their daze when they heard Han's shout. They were also stunned when they saw Harry's grin, the fact that Harry wasn't showing them the usual fearful expression they desired made them surprised. It also took some time before they regained their composure from the strange sense of danger they felt earlier.

Harry's grin only got wider as he watched Han's approaching figure. This was because everything seemed quite slow to him, it was almost as if he was watching a video playing in slow mode. He could see Han's face twisting angrily with every movement, he could also see Han's hand as it 'slowly' got closer to him.

This was proof of how far his Stats had improved compared to when he was without the system.

Before, he was a little tense regarding the fight. Although he didn't show it, he was slightly worried that Han would overwhelm him, but now that he realized that he had overestimated Han, he relaxed and decided to enjoy the 'slow-mode video'.

'At least now I have a reason to fight back,' Harry thought. This was what he had been waiting for, for Han to make the first move so he would have a 'justified reason' for what he was about to do.

Han, with his fist, still stretched forward was expecting to feel the usual sensation of his fists connecting to Harry's cheek but instead he suddenly felt his fist being grabbed.

His eyes widened as he instinctively tried to pull his fists back, however, he wasn't able to, it was as if his hand was stuck in the middle of a hard rock.

'How was h-' He wasn't able to finish his thoughts before a loud bone-cracking sound resounded in his ears.

Crack!!

What followed was Han's scream of pain as Harry finally left his hand.

"Arrhggg!!!!" Han screamed.

He fell to his knees and kept staring at his right hand, his hand was currently bent at an impossible angle and some of his fingers were also bent awkwardly towards the sides.

"My… hand, My Hand!!!" He suddenly screamed in pain once more, he held his right hand using his left hand as he cried in pain.

The eyes of all the students widened, the current turn of events surprised them. They all looked at Harry in shock, unable to comprehend what just happened.

The other two students behind Han were also greatly shocked by what happened. This type of situation never occurred to them, they never thought that one day the 'trash' they always bullied would suddenly gain the guts to go against them and not just that, he broke Han's hand all with a single grip.

Meanwhile, Harry kept looking at his hand with a smile, he didn't seem to care about the amount of attention he was receiving as he wallowed in the joy of revenge. 'Hmmm. So this is how it feels to take revenge? It feels really good, the system does know what I want.' Harry thought with a slight smile on his face.

A strange glint flashed through his eyes as he clenched his fists, He wanted more! He wanted the other two students to face the same treatment. He wanted them to feel the same pain Han felt… he wanted them to feel the same pain he felt whenever they bullied him!

He looked towards their direction and flashed a mocking smile at them.

Nell and Ace broke out of their daze when they noticed Harry's stare, they felt that same sense of unease and danger. Their instincts were screaming at them to leave or apologize and simply abandon Han, but looking around at all the students gathered around them, their pride wouldn't let them.

"How dare you, Harry!!? You bastard!!" Nell shouted.

They felt that Harry was just lucky, Han's punch wasn't reinforced by any spell or mana, and since elemental mages were known to have weaker bodies, Han's raw strength would only be slightly higher than that of a normal human being—it would be a different case with his spells.

So if they both used their spells or attacked him at the same time, there was no way Harry would escape.

A strange glint flashed through their eyes as they exchanged gazes.

They nodded their heads at the same time, finally coming up with the best way to deal with Harry.

Their lips moved softly as they started chanting their spells.

Nell's eyes took on a blue colour as he clasped his palms, his lips moved faster as he slowly unclasped his palms.

"Water ball!!" Nell shouted. A small-sized water ball formed in the middle of his hands which were positioned a few centimetres away from each other, the ball stirred rapidly as it increased to the size of a soccer ball.

He then pushed his hand forward, the water ball also followed his hand movement and shot towards Harry with astonishing speed. He also ran forward as he readied himself for a follow-up attack. 'He can never block all three attacks at once, hehe,' he said inwardly.

"Hardening Fist." Ace also shouted after finally completing his spell. A thick brown colour coated his elbows down to his fists. His hands visibly hardened, turning into stone. He then rushed towards Harry, with his right hand stretched forward, ready to strike.

Harry immediately got serious when he noticed this, a slight frown appeared on his face. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

The speed of the water ball was nothing to scoff at as it rapidly closed in on him. Behind the water ball were Nell and Ace also running towards him.

'Activate Accelerate.' Harry said inwardly. He immediately activated accelerate as he wasn't sure if he would be able to dodge everything, he knew his normal speed wouldn't be enough to dodge the water ball and that would leave him open to Ace's stone fists.

[Accelerate activated]

[+22 points temporarily allocated to agility]

[-2 energy points]

Harry slightly smiled when he saw the system's notification, due to his increased speed and agility, everything around him seemed to slow down. His eyes were now able to follow the water ball movements as it was no longer too fast for him. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
