Lunch hour inside the school felt strangely normal.
Too normal.
Students laughed loudly across the cafeteria while phones flashed endlessly with videos and gossip. The smell of food filled the air while music quietly played from someone's speaker nearby.
Meanwhile—
Jhonathan sat alone at a large table eating enormous amounts of food.
Five trays.
Eight drinks.
Several sandwiches.
Even Ralph looked impressed.
"How are you still hungry?"
Jhonathan calmly swallowed another bite.
"My regeneration consumes energy."
"That explains NOTHING."
Around the cafeteria—
groups of girls kept staring toward him.
Whispering.
Blushing.
Some pointed toward the massive silver-haired student sitting awkwardly in his hoodie.
Even without armor, Jhonathan looked intimidating.
Yet somehow approachable.
The combination confused people.
One girl whispered loudly—
"He's kinda handsome…"
Another immediately nodded.
"And scary."
"A scary handsome."
Jhonathan ignored all of it completely.
Until—
the school speakers suddenly activated.
Static echoed throughout the cafeteria.
Then the announcer spoke.
"Jhonathan. Jessabelle. Sophia. Menchie."
"Report immediately to the gymnasium."
The cafeteria exploded into noise instantly.
Students immediately began whispering.
"Oh my god…"
"The new students are fighting Aaron."
"The King of Bullies?!"
"No way…"
Jhonathan slowly stood up.
His eyes sharpened immediately.
Then he smiled faintly.
"So this guy…"
"…is the Reincarnation of Gluttony."
Meanwhile—
inside the gymnasium—
the atmosphere already felt wrong.
Blood symbols covered the walls beneath hidden paint.
The air smelled rotten.
And dozens of shadows moved unnaturally across the upper bleachers.
Assassins.
Waiting.
The moment Jhonathan's group entered—
the ambush began.
Blades rained from every direction instantly.
Hidden assassins descended from the ceiling while others burst from beneath the gym floor itself.
Sophia cursed under her breath.
"THIS MANY?!"
Jhonathan immediately summoned his twin daggers.
CLANG.
CLANG.
CLANG.
Every blade thrown toward him got reflected effortlessly.
His movements had changed completely now.
Faster.
Sharper.
Cleaner.
An assassin style.
But the enemy numbers were overwhelming.
The gymnasium turned into total chaos.
Assassins died left and right as Jhonathan countered attacks mercilessly, yet more kept appearing endlessly from the shadows.
Then—
the blood murals activated.
The puddles beneath the dead assassins suddenly moved.
Flesh twisted unnaturally.
Bones cracked.
Blood monsters rose from the floor screaming horribly.
Grotesque creatures made from meat and rage lunged toward the students.
"Aaron…"
Jessabelle glared toward the center of the gym.
The dark-skinned student stood there smiling.
Blood covering his face completely.
Then he moved instantly.
Aaron appeared directly in front of Sophia.
His hand touched her chest lightly.
And immediately—
her strength vanished.
Sophia's eyes widened in horror.
Her mana drained violently into Aaron's body.
Energy.
Vitality.
Power.
All consumed by Gluttony.
She collapsed moments later unconscious.
"SOPHIA!"
Menchie rushed forward—
but flesh monsters blocked her path immediately.
There were too many enemies.
Every direction overflowed with monsters and assassins.
Even Jhonathan began getting overwhelmed.
Then—
Reynaldo's voice echoed inside his mind.
"You have to go full divinity."
"…or you will die here."
Silence.
Jhonathan closed his eyes briefly.
Then opened them again.
Different.
Ancient.
A massive sword materialized behind him.
Black armor erupted across his body violently like living darkness wrapping around a king.
The gymnasium shook from the pressure alone.
Golly and Gelly floated beside him briefly—
then fused directly into his body.
The transformation completed instantly.
The perfect knight had appeared.
