I pointed at all three of them.
"I want you to challenge me," I said calmly.
"All at once."
For a heartbeat, the cafeteria went quiet.
Then Lioren burst out laughing.
"Kuku… kuhahahaha!" His face twisted with fury as he stepped forward. "Has your ranking finally bloated that empty head of yours, you scum? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" His voice rose, sharp and cutting.
"During the midterms, we have the right to formally challenge you and strip you of that seat you so clearly do not deserve."
I did not even look at him. I continued wiping the soup and sauce off my sleeve with a napkin, slow and deliberate.
Behind him, the skinny one snapped.
"Tch! I do not even need help. I alone will be enough to put you in your place."
I glanced at him briefly. "Brother, the breeze alone would be enough to knock you over."
The fat one bristled, his face flushing. "You are getting way over your head."
I looked him up and down. "Yeah. And you are way over your stomach."
