I Didn't Choose the Gangsta System, the Gangsta System Chose Me

"J-j-j-j-j-j!"

Ness wanted to call out, but her trembling got the better of her.

"Did you know what you've done!?"

Virena shook Joren awake.

"What…?"

The door just opened, and it revealed multiple men who were reconstructing the ground level.

"Let's run first!"

Even Kidrith was in a hurry, but Virena continued to shake Joren's collar.

"What have you done!?" she wanted to cry as she repeated her question.

'But he's still handsome….'

She blushed.

"Hey, what are you calming down for!?" Jack reprimanded her and switched places, "What have you done!?"

"You're just repeating her question, though!?"

"I… punched an old man?" Joren just realized what he had done.

"No, not that!"

Everyone except Monstein shouted.

"It's… it's fine… they would retaliate much later on… when Gods are punched… they got stunned… for some reason…." Joren tried to explain before he looked at the sky, counting the stars.

It's daytime.

"What is he talking about!?"

Ness asked Kidrith, to which she answered.

"He's talking about the time he punched Hades! Hades would be stunned as if doubting what just happened and wouldn't move for a while!"

"I'm serious!" Ness shouted back in frustration, but Kidrith didn't lose out.

"Do you think about joking!? This guy just punched the King of Gods in front of your eyes. How couldn't he do the same for Hades!?"

After some processing, all of them gasped with ghoulish expressions.

"Y-y-you mean, he's made an enemy out of Hades too!?" Jack almost tumbled down.

"Why don't we look for Poseidon as well for you to punch, huh, Joren!?"

"No… he didn't do anything…." Joren scolded Ness.

"You thick-skinned!!"

"Hey, I thought they are humans… but… are they horses?"

Monstein, who was carrying Joren while being carried by Kidrith, asked, making them all look behind them to see centaurs chasing them. But they were already exhausted as they were trying their best to catch up.

The targets didn't even notice their chase, and they were already tired.

At the same time, a giant flying lion flew above them.

"Finally, it's Officer Manti!" the centaurs stopped and breathed out. They pat themselves on the back as if they contributed to the chase.

"It's him again! Let me punch him this time!" Ness was about to turn around, but Kidrith interrupted her again by giving Monstein to her.

Black feathers appear out of nowhere as the place darkens as if the clouds loom over.

A pair of wings revealed themselves on Kidrith's back.

"Joren, can I?" a whip materialized into her hand while her eyes became that of a serpent.

Fear and negative emotions were amplified to those who were near her. Even Officer Manti felt backing away when an unknown creature emerged among the targets.

"Sure…" Joren put up a thumbs up.

Hearing this permission, Kidrith flew up, making the Office Manti flinch. He stopped, and with a cautious expression, he asked.

"Who ar-"

PAK*

A slap so crisp it sounded like an explosion. Officer Manti's eyes immediately went white as he dropped onto the ground.

"One hit!?"

The centaurs panicked. Officer Manti is a legendary beast! How strong would that woman be to strike Officer Manti one time and knock him off at the same time!?

"Only Goddess Eunomia can catch this woman!"

After that relevance of power, Kidrith went back and took Joren.

"Grab onto him." she huffed, clearly tired in maintaining that form of hers.

"Make Jack grab first!" Ness said, surprising Jack.

"What made you so kind to me all of a sudden!?"

"If you're at the bottom, you will peep at Virena!"

Virena then glared at Jack after what Ness said.

"I'm homosexual, not bisexual!"

But after Monstein grabbed onto Joren's legs, so did Jack without further argument. If the Goddess of Law Enforcement did arrive, even if Kidrith is a Half-Fury, she wouldn't be able to do anything.

Virena grabbed onto Ness and then onto Jack's leg. Afterwhich, Kidrith flew away, faster than the speed of sound.

Boom!*

At the next second, they found themselves in a thick forest.

"That's… that's my limit for now…." Kidrith huffed as she could feel the fatigue all over her body.

If not for what Hades did, she would still have enough stamina to encircle that whole world at least three times.

"That fear… you are a Half-Fury..!"

Ness has no longer a reason to doubt Kidrith after that show of power. But they could not rest yet as dark clouds still loomed above them.

"I think you can turn that off now."

Jack said, but Kidrith shook her head, "That's not me."

A crackling of thunder could be heard, accompanied by flashes of light.

"That's Zeus'!"

Back to the ninth level, Zeus remembered Joren's name, and his attack could easily reach him whenever he wills to!

"You're done for! You're done for, hahaha!" he laughed while having bruises and lumps on his head and face. This didn't come from Joren but from Hera, who was still angry. But, as a fellow God, Hera knew that no one could insult a God and escape alive.

Back to the forest, the thunderstorm whirled around Joren.

"Die, mortal!" Zeus' shout could be heard behind the clouds.

"Protect Joren!"

Ness said but a flash of lightning was faster than any of them.

Crackle-Boom!*

A lightning bolt directly struck Joren on the ground as Monstein was pushed away.

"Joren!!"

Kidrith's heart shook as they could feel the weight of the lightning bolt. It was strong enough to shake the ground.

-2 health.

"That's a warning to all mortals who dare defies the Gods!" Zeus' voice echoed before the clouds vanished into nothing.

Silence soon pervaded as everyone looked at Joren's corpse.

"I'll make him undead again!"

Virena panicked, but Jack stopped her.

"Joren has made an enemy of Hades. Once his soul comes back to the UnderWorld, Hades will surely lock him up. Even if you try, it's useless."

"..." Virena stopped and just stared at the corpse.

"No way…" Kidrith muttered as she covered half of her face, about to cry. Ness was the same, and when her tears became watery, the 'corpse' suddenly moved.

"Haaa…" Joren yawned before sitting up and scratching his head, wondering what tickled him earlier.

"Hm?"

He looked at people who were ready to mourn and cry.

"Umm… something suddenly woke me up from being… asleep." he couldn't tell them he was high.

"A ghost!"

Ness gasped in fear.

"Principal, ghosts are normal!" Virena tried to calm her down.

"You were just struck by Zeus' lightning."

Kidrith was the one who explained, to which Joren raised an eyebrow.

"What? Why would he do that? Did we do something to him?"

"..."

"Also, where are we…."

While Joren was talking in the background, the rest of them looked at each other.

Is this guy serious? They all thought.

"Well, at least he's alright." Jack tried to create a positive atmosphere.

"But, how?"

Virena couldn't help but ask, not knowing that Joren's 'stupid training' made him near-invincible to fatal attacks.

"Maybe idiots don't get hurt."

She answered herself while feeling relieved that Joren's face was back to normal. She can finally insult him whenever she wants without feeling flustered. Meanwhile, Kidrith realized that it was because Zeus only used enough power to kill a mortal. She doesn't know what to call him, but Joren was no mere mortal now.

After they all calmed down, they updated Joren on what had happened.

"I punched Zeus!?" he couldn't believe it as he got frustrated at himself.

"Yes, now he will hunt you once he learns you're still alive."

Ness sighed.

"Damn it!"

Joren cursed.

"Don't worry, as long as we get to a human civilization, no myth can get to you!" Ness tried to cheer him up, seeing that he was frustrated about it.

"It's fine, Joren. Didn't you say you're going to make an enemy of Zeus too?"

Even Virena tried to cheer him up.

"Yeah, right. As long as you're alive, it's fine." Jack looked at the others as they nodded in agreement.

They tried to make light of it, but Joren still seemed frustrated at himself.

"I'm ashamed of myself," Joren shook his head, "I could've kicked his face too. No, I should've crushed his balls so that he wouldn't be such a predator!" he palmed his face, wasting such an opportunity.

Huuu–*

The wind blew as the group realized their worries were in vain.

"He's Joren, alright."

Ness just shrugged it off, feeling tired, before saying, "Then, we should get going and reach the nearest city. The Goddess of Law Enforcement might still catch up to us."

"Agreed." Kidrith nodded.

"The nearest city here is seven kilometers away." Jack looked at his phone.

"How about we get some taxi?"

Joren suggested, making everyone look at him with strange eyes.

"What?"

"So normal, but that will do…." Virena replied and added, "And sorry, but the Principal and I don't have human money, so we'll be in your favor."

"Same here. I never needed human money after all." Jack said.

They all looked at Joren, but he shook his head.

"All my money was left at my apartment when I was brought to the academy."

The only people they could rely on were Kidrith-

"I was the head maid of Hades' Palace, but we aren't paid human money there."

-and Monstein.

"Hm?" he only tilted his head, not knowing what they were talking about.

Dark expressions covered all of their faces. The blowing of wind was the only thing they could hear once again. Almost all of them have jobs... they didn't think they wouldn't have any money.

"I guess… we'll walk."
