Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions
Airne arched his back and squinted his eyes into a line when he heard Matcha’s insolent words. He threw Matcha a cold re and remarked, “Lion Head sister, today we came here to resolve a domestic issue. Why did you invite an outsider here?”
Lion Head took a step forward and stood in front of Matcha. She roared, “Airne, do not do anything stupid. He is not an outsider. He is a brother of the northern campus.”
Matcha craned his neck over Lion Head’s shoulder and sniggered, “Is your name really Airne? Don’t you find your name a little stupid?”
“D*mn it, are you sick of living?” Sausage dashed out with his finger pointing in Matcha’s face, “Do you know that Boss Airne hates it when people poke fun at his name?
Bam!
Airne sent a p across Sausage’s face before instructing, “Get lost.” With his eyes glued to Lion Head, he spoke calmly, “Lion Head sister, your friend here does not understand the rules in our world. Since you are the ones who flout the rules in the first ce, I guess I can only follow suit.”
With a deafening roar, swarms of stray cats appeared from the two channels leading to the hall.
Lion Head’s pupils constricted when she saw the wave of cats flooding the ce. She was especially taken aback by the cat leading the charge. Baozi huddled to her side and whispered, “Sister, that is Uncle Egg from the neighboring district, what do we do now?”
Worry snaked through Lion Head as she began to swing her tail around restlessly. Dust Ball couldn’t understand why they suddenly turned so fidgety and came up to ask, “Who is this supercat?”
Baozi immediately gave a detailed introduction to this cat’s background, “Uncle Egg is a tabby that is almost nine years old. He spends all his time grooming his fur, ensuring that they were speckless and free from dirt. He is a respected and highly-regarded cat in our area. Many stray cats in our district are even rted to him by blood. I think my grandfather’s grandfather was Uncle Egg’s son.
By using his seniority and connections, he grasped control over the catmint cirction in more than ten districts in Jiangmen city.”
Dust Ball’s eyes sparkled with excitement the moment she heard the word, catmint. In her eyes, Uncle Egg had instantly transformed from an old cat to a treasure chest.
Other than the cats living on the northern campus, the remaining cats flocked to Uncle Egg’s side and stood behind Airne and Sausage.
Instantly, the tables have turned as the supercats ratio turned to 3: 4.
Airne, Sausage and Uncle Egg VS Lion Head, Baozi, Matcha and Dust Ball.
Lion Head rubbed her temples at this sight and asked, “Uncle Egg, what are you trying to do bying here tonight? Are you trying to interfere with our domestic territorial discussion?”
Airne stretched open his mouth and revealed his razor-sharp teeth. He eximed, “Fat bitch, Uncle Egg has always found you a pain in his ass. If you are smart, you should just relinquish your position. From today onwards, I, Airne, will be the sole ruler of Jiangmen ...”
“ beeebee boo boo!” Matcha interrupted Airne’s grandiose im.
Airne suppressed his anger before continuing, “From today onwards ...”
“ bee poot!”
“Are you done with your nonsense?” Airne retorted as his body locked with rage. Sausage, who stood by his side, charged forth and began tussling with Lion Head’s subordinates.
Uncle Eggmented, “Alright, alright, just stop arguing. You guys have it too easy nowadays. Back in my time, fights were only over food and never over suchme issues.”
Airne interrupted and said, “Uncle Egg, times have changed.”
“Regardless how much things have changed, one thing will always stay the same. Thew of the jungle. Whoever has the tougher w, sharper teeth will reign supreme. That also applies to the election of our boss. At the end of the day, it’s about selecting a representative for thepetition and there’s no point in selecting a useless cat. The two of you should just fight it out. Whoever who wins will be crowned the king of the entire Jiangmen University.”
Chatters erupted amongst the cats as they broke up into discussions. Lion Head regained her confidence and stared at Airne before saying, “Are you up for it? I will send my apostle.” Lion Head turned around and pointed to Zhao Xue who stood behind her.
Zhao Xue was still in her shrunken state and looked powerless to even defend herself from a rat.
Airne’s eyes swept towards Zhao Xue as he scrutinized her from head to toe. He roared withughter and said, “I knew that you would send your apostle given how weak you are. Come forth, my apostle.”
Following Airne’s meows, a shadow emerged as his group of cats pushed his apostle forward.
Zhao Xue recognized the apostle the moment she appeared in their sights. Her stout figurebined with her curly hair and all white uniform could only be one person. Zhao Xue eximed when light from the torches illuminated her face, “Thedy working in the cafeteria?”
“Indeed! Thedy working in the cafeteria is my apostle.”
“Despicable fe.” Lion Head’s temple throbbed with rage as she roared, “How can you use thatdy as your apostle. Zhao Xue would nevery her hands on the school’s staff.”
“Hmph, do not make your problem mine.”
Aunty Wang stared at Zhao Xue who had shrunk to the size of a toddler and asked with a look of confusion, “Little kid, why are you here? Do you know what is going on? After work, this group of cats suddenly surrounded me and started meowing non-stop. They led me to this ce and I have no idea what’s going on.”
Zhao Xue could only give a bitterugh.
Instantly, Airne and Lion Head began drawing all sorts of doodles on the ground using their paws. From time to time, they would roar at each other. It seemed as though they were exining the situation.
Matcha was perplexed by their behavior and whispered into Dust Ball’s ears, “I didn’t know that these bunch of fools were literate.”
Dust Ball nodded her head as she replied, “It seems like all awakened cats are literature. I have no idea why though.”
Momentster, Zhao Xue looked in Aunty Wang’s direction and rified, “Aunty Wang, do you understand? We are about to fight. I believe you have also been endowed with certain power.”
“What is this nonsense? How can Iy hands on a kid?” Aunty Wang shook her hands in the air and shouted, “I need to go back now, I still have to prepare the ingredients for the following day.”
Zhao Xue raked her fingers through her hair helplessly before exining, “Aunty Wang, these are supercats. They can ...”
Just when Zhao Xue was about to exin the situation to Aunty Wang, a beam of silver light shed across her eyes and crashed into Zhao Xue’s head with a loud nk.
“Hey!” Zhao Xue kneeled down on the ground and rested her head on her palms. She eximed, “Why did you hit me?”
With a hugedle in her hand, Aunty Wang sniggered, “Heehee, do you really think that I’m so ignorant? Attack!”
Instantly, thedle came flying towards Zhao Xue.
Zhao Xue took a few steps back to evade the attack. Suddenly, her body expanded and she had morphed into three meters tall mini giant instantaneously. This was the power Lion Head had given her – the power of expansion. After expanding, her physical strength had also grown correspondingly, giving her a much-needed power boost. Every movement of her arms sent shockwaves into the surrounding.
“What an amazing power!” Dust Ball eximed as she stared at Zhao Xue in awe. With a look of envy, Dust Ball shouted, “I also want the power of expansion.”
“Despicable!” Zhao Xue roared as she sent her unbelievably long legs straight towards Aunty Wang’s body. It was as if a totem pole was flying towards Aunty Wang.
Aunty Wang remained unfazed against Zhao Xue’s attack. She simply waved herdle in the air in an elegant manner and managed to dodge the attack with a swing of her hip.
Zhao Xue gave a coldugh before she took a few steps forward. She thenunched a barrage of punches on Aunty Wang. Each punch produced a mini shockwave that resulted in a huge explosive sound. The impact of the attack even caused the concrete floor, which she stood on, to crack.
Faced with this seemingly unavoidable attack, Aunty Wang somehow managed to avoid it by executing a series of dance-like moves. Astonishingly, not even a single hitnded.
She guffawed as she dodged, “You know what, at the rate that I’m dancing at, even Usain Bolt cannot catch up to me. Do you think you actually stand a chance?”
Lion Head stared dumbfounded at this scene. She eximed, “How is this possible? After evolving into a mini-giant, Zhao Xue’s body had surpassed that of an ordinary human. How can she miss all her punches?”
“Why not? When ites to superpower, it is not solely dependent on explicit factors like the user’s body condition and mental state. It’s also dependent on theirpatibility.” Airne announced gleefully, “My power, constant flux, will never allow the opponent to predict my next move. I have the power to control probability.”
“My power is the perfect match for Aunty Wang. I had a few apostles but she was the only one who could unleash the full potential of my ability.”
Lion Head remained bewildered and shouted, “Why?”
“Haven’t you heard of the saying? You never know what the cafeteriady is doing behind your back and you never know where the line dancers are going to perform next. Coincidentally, Aunty Wang is a cafeteriady and a line dancer. All her actions brimmed with uncertainty.” Just when Airne was in the midst of his exnation, his eyes sparkled with excitement as he eximed, “Get ready for her next attack!”
Lion Head looked on with a face of confusion. Meanwhile, Zhao Yao who was eavesdropping from inside the belly had a clue as to her power.
“Compatibility? I guess being a cafeteriady and a line dancer are just what you see on the surface. The true reason lies in Aunty Wang’s personality and habits. No, it’s not just her habits. The reason why she uses adle as a weapon and her dance moves as her defense is that her behavior during these activities is a perfect match for Airne’s power.”
Meanwhile, light from the torches reflected off of thedle sent beams of light erupting in all directions. Zhao Xue couldn’t even see the position of thedle when Aunty Wang came charging towards her with thedle in hand.
