Amon, The Legendary Overlord
Chapter 24 - 24: Barbara Gains Weight
- Tuesday, June 20th of the year 3031 -
At school in the morning, Amon had his hands in his pockets and chocolate candy in his mouth, he swept his honey-colored eyes across the crowd immediately causing them to freeze in place; they dared not make a single move.
Maisa and Julia could not help but be impressed by such a scene. Before, they didn't notice much, but now they saw how much Amon was feared, especially after the school tournament. Now a simple look made them freeze in place.
"Amon, are you going to do anything after school?" Julia called for him and asked.
"Mm…" Amon stopped sucking the candy and looked at her. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I didn't plan anything, but I want to train when I get home."
"Good! So, let's go out together, you, Maisa, and I?" Julia invited him with a smile.
Some who heard this came out of their daze to be stunned for another reason. Julia, who was always cheerful but indifferent to the boys, was inviting Amon out for fun after school.
"Bastard!" Elijah who just arrived screamed at this.
Amon had a wicked charm and looked undisciplined, but his eyes looked into Julia's face with the same indifference as usual. From start to finish, he didn't look at the young man sitting in the car who was gritting his teeth hard, as if he didn't even notice his existence. "All right." Amon nodded.
"Excellent!" Julia smiled beautifully when receiving a positive response.
"By the way, Amon." Trying to contain her happiness, Maísa changes the subject: "The interscholastic tournament will start on the 24th and will continue until the 25th. You and Julia will be part of the same team by challenging the other schools."
"Oh, there was that." Amon asked with a neutral expression, "Is there anyone strong in the other schools?"
"Yes." Maísa said with a cute smile on her face: "I think you'll be able to have fun if you participate, I learned that at least 4 schools have students above level 20 in genetics."
"Mm, it's not bad, but I already have level 32 in genetics and 31 filled with lightning." Amon said indifferently without changing his expression: "I don't think it will be profitable to participate; the meat is not good, so I'm not interested in the prize."
Not to mention that with his Fury gene is at level 35, It was almost impossible for this to be of interest to him considering his current strength level. If it is not necessary, he prefers to go to the mountains on weekends and train, which was actually profitable for him.
"If Amon doesn't participate, I won't either." Julia was more interested in training with Amon than going to fight unknown people for a prize that is impossible to win without Amon's help; especially with Nick Miranda still in the hospital and Elijah would be pestering her. Just thinking about it makes her feel uncomfortable.
Maisa was not surprised by Julia's refusal to participate in the tournament and she could imagine the reasons, as she casually said, "Then don't participate~"
"Yeah, I won't. By the way, we are getting stronger and stronger. Can we go to the mountains with you next time?" Julia asked with her eyes shining.
Amon considered for a moment and nodded indifferently, "Okay, you can go with me."
"Yes!" Maísa and Julia celebrated and were shy after seeing that many students saw the actions of the two when they were rejoicing as if they were celebrating a victory point for their favorite volleyball team.
"Hello..." Julia and Maísa turned around and were surprised by what they saw; Barbara had gained about 5 kilos in 1 day. How is that possible?
"You ate monster meat?" Amon guessed as he looked her up and down. Her face was plumper and she got a bump on her stomach. Before, she looked so skinny, but now she was like that overnight.
"Yes, my mom bought a lot for me and I ended up eating it all," Barbara said feeling guilty, she almost didn't come to class today, but she didn't want to be like that; even if she got a little chubby, she wouldn't let herself be shaken, but it was easier said than done; standing in front of Amon she begins to shudder with tears threatening to fall at any moment.
"Meat is not good." Amon thought and said, "Mm, come with us to the mountain, go train and burn the dirt you've accumulated from the meat, but don't eat any more meat, okay?"
"Amon..." Maísa was going to say no, but seeing the pitiful state of Barbara who was about to cry, she sighed and swallowed what she was going to say.
"Thank you, I would love to!" Barbara was moved, she said to herself: 'I'll listen to him, I shouldn't be in a hurry... This is what I get for being so hasty!'
But somehow, she benefited from it. She didn't know if she would have a chance to train with Amon but it sure as hell wouldn't be in the mountains anytime soon, maybe it's a case of something good coming out of the bad. She smiled, not caring about people pointing and laughing at her.
While Amon doesn't care, she doesn't care... Well, that's not entirely true, she threw some little fireballs at these people and made them run away screaming in fear.
"Ahhh!"
"You delinquent!"
"I'll tell my mom everything."
"This girl is crazy!"
'Go laugh at your grandmother!' Barbara cursed in her mind. Turning around and looking at them, she snorted coldly as she saw them run away while some of them had their clothes burned.
"Haha, good!" Maisa laughed and gave Barbara a thumbs-up. She may not like the fact that she's close to Amon, but she admits that Barbara is brave and has personality. Especially not being intimidated by Amon's cold smile yesterday and even getting excited by what she saw.
Barbara smiled frankly and continued to walk with them.
In the hallway of the third year of high school, Julia entered room 302, and Amon, Barbara, and Maisa entered room 303.

Barbara wasn't the type to be easily crestfallen, and even though she gained 5 kilos, she still emitted the same confidence as ever. Her problem was never lack of trust, but rather problems with her mother that are somehow solving themselves after she met Amon and decided to ask her mother for help.
By the time the bell rang to go home, Amon was about to leave with Maisa when Barbara said, "Can I go with you?"
Amon looked at Maisa, since he was asked to go out with the twin sisters, it would be wrong for him to accept since he was not the host.
"We're going to karaoke if you want to tag along," Maisa said trying to act indifferent, but her pretty dimples deepened, revealing a slight blush.
Barbara smiled softly and said, "Thank you. I accept."
"You don't have to go if you don't want to," Maisa said.
"Mm, but I want to go." Barbara insisted.
"Oh well. Let's go then." Maisa gave up.
After leaving the classroom, Julia was already waiting for them. Seeing Barbara beside them, she didn't comment; As much as she wants to be indifferent to Barbara and not help her get closer to Amon, she had a soft heart and ended up giving in mainly because Barbara gained weight. Not that she judges fatter people, but as a woman, she understands how difficult it is to be looked at differently after gaining weight; she's been through it herself, and the worst thing is not the boys most of the time, but the girls.
The danger of being pretty and being a little out of the ordinary is that other girls are happy with your unhappiness; they might want to see you happy, but never more than they are.
That was the reality, you might be good, but not better than me. You may be rich, but no richer than me. A dilemma that almost all neighbors go through; even if the neighbor barbecues, the other neighbor will want to do something even bigger, even kill a pig if necessary, just to 'prove' that they're better.
After they left the school area, they didn't take the same path but took the left towards Shopping area Z.
"Barbara, is it really you?"
Coming towards them are delinquent-style girls, much like Barbara, but even worse, with heavy makeup and quite thin figures.
"We haven't seen you anymore, so it's because you've been eating too much and been embarrassed? Haha, this is hilarious~" One of the girls laughed out loud. She was tall, 176 cm, and wore high heels with a short outfit, showing off a lot of her tanned skin.
"Jennifer. If you don't want to be toasted, keep your mouth shut!" Blue flames appeared in Barbara's hand; she was bold enough to attack and the girl named Jeniffer didn't doubt it, so much so that she almost fell on her butt on the ground when she took a few steps back.
"I, I was kidding, don't take me seriously, okay?" Jeniffer looked fearfully at the other two girls and they nodded in response.
"Good! It's good that you understand, and no, I'm not ashamed to show up in front of you and no, I'm not going to sit around wasting time all day anymore; I decided to make an effort and that's what I'm going to do." Barbara said with a serious and confident look. She didn't do it for Amon, but for herself, she now wanted to change, to be different from before, and restore the bond she had with her mother.
"Oh... W-Well, good luck?" The girls left with fear and sweat running down their faces, smearing their heavy makeup.
"I hate to admit it, but I like your character; it has to be like that, don't let anyone step on you!" Maísa said wildly, showing her cute little fangs that were not capable of intimidating even a little child, but rather, make whoever saw her like that adore her without end.
"You did well~" If they became a problem for them, Julia would help, she also didn't like the way those three girls were looking at Barbara.
Amon from start to finish was silent, it was something he did not understand, but 'knew' how to react. His grandfather once said, 'If a fight between women breaks out, don't get involved unless necessary.'
Following his grandfather's words to him, Amon didn't intrude but stood as a spectator waiting for if they needed his help.
