The Undying Mecha Emperor

"Beating up this bastard who made brother Barrick Rui and others like him not get a mecha before the Grand Melee started! Join us!" Roland Hu shouted with glee as he tossed a few rocks to the newcomers. "Here are some rocks! Get him!"

Oh yes.

My best brothers and sisters, even the ones who did exactly as I did that day because there was no way in hell the Wangs and the Longs did not do anything to prevent other kids from getting mechas, ganged up on me that lunch time and tried their best to beat me up.

The keyword was, of course, "tried".

They completely failed to do any damage to me, which was probably why they did what they did, and at the same time, they managed to create a form of camaraderie among themselves, which was also probably why Olivia did what she did.

Plus, it was probably a hell lot of fun for them.

I was a living and breathing punching bag who was able to dodge, block and counterattack by grabbing at their rocks and smashing them to pieces!

I moved my head slightly to dodge a vicious downward blow from a grinning Tes and allowed her rock to smash down on my shoulder.

CRASH!

Her rock cracked to pieces and she was the first to bow out of the "Rebellion" against the future Mecha Emperor.

She didn\'t really want to rebel, of course. She was just joining in the fun.

The same could not be said of the rest of them.

My eyes focused on the main culprit, Olivia Summers who was still very comfortably seated on my tummy and happily smashing down her rock over and over again on my chest.

With pin-point accuracy, I smacked her rock away and instantly rendered her weaponless. With her weapon gone, she became just a little girl sitting on top of a little boy.

Apparently it wasn\'t something that she wanted to dwell on for very long, and she immediately rolled off.

Next in line was Barrick Rui.

I remember thinking at that moment…

"Bloody hell! I\'ll be damned if I allow that fat blob of fat to sit on me!!" I cried out in horror.

It was one thing to allow a cute little ten year old girl to sit on you.

It was an entirely different thing to allow a massive 75kg ten year old calf to sit on you.

I ignored all the potential damage I could do to the others and immediately threw my body to one side to avoid Barrick\'s body attack!

SLAMP!

Barrick\'s body slamped down next to me, narrowly missing my body by a few centimeters!

"Hey! Enough!!" I roared out loudly.

"Enough? Would you have stopped if I said "enough" when you were robbing me?" Olivia shouted even louder from the side as she picked up a brand new piece of rock.

At her words, it was as though something clicked in the minds of the others, and they redoubled their efforts to attack me!

They were laughing playfully earlier when they were attacking me, confident that their attacks would deal no damage whatsoever to me.

At that moment, they were still laughing, true.

But their laughter had a rather savage edge to it, as though they were actually eager to draw my blood somehow!

I sighed.

We were close then, but the fact remained that we merely knew each other for a few short days.

We were still exploring the limits and boundaries of our unique friendship, one where I was shrouded by mystery but clearly destined for greatness, and where they were potentially destined to be the supporting cast to my glorious future.

They were hesitant to accept it, but also reluctant to go against it. So there we were… "celebrating" our friendship.

Plus they were still very curious as to just how strong my body truly was.

Was my body strong enough to withstand full forced attacks by rocks?

"It\'s time to find out!" They probably thought.

The next few minutes were complete chaos as my best buddies unleashed their strongest attacks on me!

I was unwilling to injure them, so I merely did my best to dodge and disarm them by smashing their rocks apart.

The Long trio, with their abundant experience dealing with my "indestructible" body, kept an especially cautious sequence of attacks against me.

Bam! Wham!

Rocks clutched in their hands, they attacked me again and again from all around me.

They pushed me, tried to trip me, threw rocks at my face, and did every single dirty trick their ten year old minds could think of.

But…

"Damn you monster!" Olivia Summers panted heavily as her final rock smashed against my arm and crumbled to pieces.

One by one, they all ran out of rocks to use against me.

"He must- be as- strong as- the Russian freaks." Roland Hu panted.

"Definitely." Jack Yang panted.

"No. He is- definitely- stronger." Elise Wang panted.

"He must be- a Russian spy." Eliana Wang panted.

"Let\'s- report- him." Barrick Rui wheezed in agreement.

I smirked at them triumphantly.

"Well! You little bunch of weaklings! So many of you versus one, and look who are the ones panting like cute little dogs! Weak! Weak! The Federation\'s future is bleak! Oh woe! Woe to the Federation!" I laughed at them mercilessly.

They all glanced at each other for a moment, and then somehow came to an unspoken, unanimous agreement.

"I am ranked 24,963." Eliana Wang started.

"I am 24,964." Elise Wang continued.

My lips twitched at their words.

Their ranks were above 25,000!

That meant that they overtook several 2nd years in rank! And all that in merely the third day of school!

Ridiculous.

And more than that…

"I should be ranked at least 24,000 then!" I raged in my mind.

"25,009." Victor Long said.

"25,010." Hailey Long smirked.

"25,191." Gerald Long said with a stiff smile.

"25,120." Tes said quietly, and caused Gerald Long to whirl around and look at her in shock.

But what they were trying to do was extremely clear.

"What\'s YOUR rank?" Eliana Wang asked me loudly.
