My Hermes System

All the students could not help but stare at the skinny boy in rags. They were curious as to how someone like him was able to even enter the Academy. The crowd started whispering to each other, their murmurs reaching Gerald's ears like a sharp knife.

"Did the Lauder boy just get tossed by a street kid?"

"Pft. Here I thought he was strong"

"Shh. He might hear you, I heard he's a psychopath"

Gerald's eyebrows could not help but twitch uncontrollably as the murmurs continued. He slightly bit his tongue as he turned his attention back to Van, who was looking down at him with a smirk on his face.

"Is that all you can do?", Van said in a very condescending tone. But the truth is, Van's whole body was currently numb and he felt his chest slightly tighten from the impact. He slammed his whole body towards an unaware Gerald to push him down, but all it did was throw him away a few meters to the ground, other than that, Gerald seemed fine.
