Chapter 163: Rays Predicament... 1



163 Ray\'s Predicament... 1

That was exactly what had happened to Ray… he had sat there so often that the smell that once used to make him want to regurgitate his morning breakfast was now something all too ordinary to him.

On a desk with various tiny shards and machine parts sat Ray, his school uniform all dirty with splatters of blood in some areas that were really not that visible due to his black school uniform. With a blank yet sad expression on his face, He used his telekinesis ability to meticulously put every part in the correct place with incredible speed and accuracy.

On the line of bunk beds directly to his right sat 2 boys, one of whom around his same height, cyan hair that fell down to his eyes but with an uglier expression on his more rigid face. The other boy, no, such a person could not be called a boy, he was more like a giant… He was greatly taller, fatter, and more muscular than the other boy as he casually sat down on the bottom bunk with his phone in hand, almost looking like everything around him was going to collapse from his weight. He had fiery red spiky hair, almost the same colour as Abby\'s, but unlike Abby, his eyes were purple instead of her blood-red.

"Fuck! I hate babysitting! Why do 2 important members like us have to subject ourselves to such boredom!"

"Hey, kid! How many have you completed so far? You\'ve been at this all lunch! Those materials cost us a great deal you know? If you mess up we would have to teach you a lesson!" A deep, ugly voice rang from his right where the two boys were seated, most likely coming from the red-haired boy who had just stood up to check up on Ray who was still hard at work.

"I-I have only finished 1...These things take a long time to produce…" Ray muttered in a frightened, low shaky voice.

"Then work faster before I fuck you up again, only this time even more! Rejecting our invitation was the worst mistake you\'ve ever done in your life! I am still pissed about that! I would beat the shit out of you now just to take my anger out but we still need you to be in full health to manufacture this shit as fast as possible!" The red-haired boy said, looking down at Ray in disgust.

He saw it as an honour to be invited to join the great Zexis gang and anyone who rejected needed to learn a lesson as they were disgracing the gang\'s great name and making a mockery out of them.

"Y-yes sir, I understand… I will work harder…" Ray replied, not even daring to look the other boy in the eyes as he tried his best to make himself look more productive than before.

After he, Moby and Alex went to the amusement park and since he had told them the truth about his past, seeing their smiles and words of support truly inspired him. His heart was filled with more joy than he could ever remember having ever since he was still a naive little child.

It gave him hope and inspiration to work hard and shock the world once more just like he did as a kid. That was precisely what he did, for the research division\'s exam, they were given an entire week to craft something unique given a very wide array of materials. And, out of all of the contestants, despite Ray\'s considerably low power level, he managed to come in the top 5% of all contestants, shocking all the teachers and students that did not expect anything special to come out from him. Not even he thought that he was going to be as successful as he was.

He managed to invent a little capsule that was able to store any non-living objects or plant, almost like a storage ring only that the capsule was a 4-time use before being destroyed and, instead of it only being able to store stuff that fit in a certain area like the storage ring, it went off weight instead, as it was only able to hold 10 grams worth of objects.

The main advantage of this item was that it was far cheaper to create than storage rings, only requiring a small void shard and a few strengthening machines that made it work. It was able to be activated when the button on the top of the capsule was pressed and, it also allowed the user to tamper with the setting to make the activation delayed, making it somewhat useful in combat when used meticulously in the right hands.

It was truly an incredible invention, worthy of a top place in the exam. It did seem serviceable but currently, due to the weight restraints, It still needed more development until it would go fully mainstream.

The one thing that was super shocking about the invention and what truly caught the gang\'s attention was the fact that the capsules were not at all constrained and restricted by the magical crystal that blocked the storage rings around the school. This made the school realize a flaw in their defences, making sure to develop a crystal able to block out the storage capabilities of the capsules. But until then, they were unhindered which made many gangs pounce on the idea before it becomes restricted.

With that invention, they would be able to easily trade and sell illegal material even in the open, and restricted zones, increasing their income drastically. The 10-gram limit was not even a big deal in their eyes as most of the products they planned to distribute fell within that weight range. And, even once they do make a magic crystal able to block the effects, with their creator and only person that knew how to craft them, they would hold a monopoly on all of the capsules and they could always manufacture them and release them before they are even available to the public at an extremely marked up price.

Not to mention the fact that Ray was Moby Kane\'s roommate, the F rank that had suddenly skyrocketed up to B rank and only keeps growing, as well as having important friends including Jayden Griffith\'s boyfriend, this only made them want him even more just to be able to manipulate him and use him as a pawn in their plans.

In the end, after many hard-fought battles, the Zexis gang came out on top.

He had of course rejected their offer at first but without any power and backing of any sort, he was immediately taught a lesson the hard way… He had tried his best to resist and endure all the excruciating pain he had to go through but in the end, it was way too much for them to bear, making him give up and crack, agreeing to their terms and becoming their slave...

Then they immediately put their new craftsman to work until the time was right for the next step of their plan, and it seemed like that time was right now…
