The Author's POV

Chapter 139

-Clank!

Saying goodbye to Leo and Ram, I quietly went back to my dorm. Thereafter, I sent a quick message to Smallsnake with regards to W.V. pharmaceuticals and threw my phone on my bed.

*Sigh*

As a sigh escaped from my mouth, sitting on my chair in front of a large spacious wooden desk I took out my computer and booted it up.

So far, this was what I gathered from the small conversation I had with Ram and Leo on my way back.

The current Manticore building was ruled by the stronger more influential people, and taking advantage of the fact that there is a time regressive machine, they forced and coerced weaker students into giving them their time passes.

In a way, this was pretty much how gangs operated.

...It was sort of cliche, but with this world being filled with cliches, I wasn't really surprised.

Taking a small notepad from the drawer of my desk, I immediately summarized the information that I had gotten from them.

I first started writing about the social hierarchy of this place.

From what I remember that they told me, there were five people I had to watch out for in this building.

...and according to Leo and Ram, these five people, because of how influential and powerful they were...they were known by everyone here as the 'five tyrants'

Through their connections and parents' fame, these five people ruled the Manticore building with an iron fist.

Gerrard Lim - W.V. Pharmaceuticals chairman son

Romelu Connel - Both his parents are A-ranked heroes, and work under platinum rank guild.

Adrea Forsetti - Son of the elder of Gladiatori, platinum rank guild.

Jessica Pandev - Daughter of one of the school instructors.

Gabriella Lemass - Daughter of branch manager of Ashton-district bank, one of the largest banks in the city.

As I looked through the list of names, apparently, I was quite lucky to be under Gerrard's rule.

According to what I heard from Leo and Ram, he was the nicest of the lot. Although from what I've gathered they didn't kill as Gerrard did, what they did was even worse.

...torturing you to the point that you wished that you were dead. Be it through targeting your family or anyone that was around you...as long as they didn't like you, they would immediately subject you to intense bullying and include your family in their nonsensical acts.

They were all practically psychopaths. I wasn't really sure how these people even existed as there is a clear boundary between arrogant and insane...and this was on that level.

...to be called the 'five tyrants' because of what they did was understandable. From the way they behaved and pressed people, they were nothing short of tyrants.

Worse thing, because of the connections they each had, working together they managed to secure this iron-clad rule that basically prevented any of the students present from voicing out what was happening...meaning that they had free reigns of this place.

Unless your background was something they couldn't handle, if they deemed you to be their target, you were pretty much done for.
