Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 024 - Show Some Respect, Please!
Theo picks a ball, and starts doing practice by himself. His jump shot is okay, the movement is good. When he tries several kinds of dunk, he still looks convinced and superior. Nothing is wrong with his form when he trains alone. But then, when they start another training match, Theo looks indecisive every time he receives a pass in the high post area. The ring is so close to him. Instead of using his brute strength to just slam that ball to the ring, his mind is busy worrying about the people around him. “Hey, Theo! You are taking too long, man! Give back that ball,” asks Gideon from outside the three-point line. Even in responding to Gideon’s words, he still looks indecisive and so unsure. When he does, his opponent can read it. The ball is easily intercepted, and it leads to a turn over. “God, damn it!” Gideon grumbles, as he has to get back to defense after losing that ball. The opponent makes a basket. Gideon picks the ball, and then slams it so hard at Theo. “What the fuc
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 025 - Is This A Prank?
Dean feels so embarrassed, and then turns away. But Mary looks so annoyed. One of her hands holds Dean, preventing him from leaving. Her other hand slaps the table right in front of that bank teller lady. “If money that you are asking, I’ll come in a minute!” She then turns away, leaving Dean with his clueless face. “Dean, stay there for a while.” The bank teller seems baffled, not knowing what Mary is going to do. But she can’t simply wait, telling Dean to move away, and invites the other customer to come forward. Mary goes to her car, looks for a plastic bag on the rear trunk of the car, and then heads to the ATM in front of that bank office. She checks on her balance, and finds that she still has more than 80 million Estol. It’s not clear what’s inside her mind, but she simply withdraws all the money in her account. But sadly, that ATM doesn’t have enough cash stock inside that machine. She can only withdraw around 18 million Estol, all in 50,000 denominations. She then contin

Mary rushes to check the condition of that one security guard. She shakes him, trying to wake that guy up. But the man just keeps sleeping soundly. “Damn! Seems like it’s not just a normal hypnotic.” She touches the man’s forehead with the tip of her fingers, and then begins chanting some spell in whisper. Tocel eoi femen hepephep! Meqij! As she opens her eyes, that security guard also opens his eyes. He is shocked, and gets himself away. He then looks around in confusion. “What happened?” he mumbles with his clueless face. “You got hypnotized just now,” says Mary. “Hypnotized? What are you talking about?” asks Luca, who is currently standing behind Mary. “Don’t you realize? You just gave your credit card to a stranger earlier.” That man starts rummaging his pocket, checking his wallet, only to find out that his credit card is really no longer with him. “You better tell the bank manager to freeze your credit card now,” suggests Mary before getting out of that bank office.

Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 027 - Take Him Out Already
Luca himself is currently trying to spot the guy who invited him. Once he finds where Dean sits, he just chuckles, shaking his head with a bit of disappointed smile.“So, he’s just a player for team B, huh? What a shame.”“Who?” asks one of his friends.“You see that guy with the red hair? I witnessed myself how fast that guy was, much faster than our Levi, the fastest player in our team.”“Well, being fast doesn’t necessarily mean you are good with basketball. It’s about how you use it effectively during the game,” says Luca’s other friend, giving a response.“Yeah! You are right!” Luca affirms. “The same with height. But you know what? Braham University has a tendency for tall players. They set a threshold of 185 cm. I myself was only 184 cm tall when I first entered college. And they denied me because of that. I only got the chance to participate a year later, after I grew a bit taller.”“That’s too harsh for a university basketball club?”Luca nods by widening his lips. “I just ho
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 028 - He Is Not Normal
The thing is, Coach Stanley hasn't monitored Dean's training session yesterday. He came later in the afternoon, when Dean was no longer with the team. And he isn't that familiar with Dean yet. “Who is this kid you are talking about?” he asks. “You think subbing him in will make any difference? We are already 16 points behind, with only 6 minutes left.” “I’m not thinking about winning the game,” says Gideon. “But this situation was created by him. And I want him to fix this issue.” “Created by him? What is this all about?” “I believe he was the one who made our Theo to be like this,” says Marcus. Coach Stanley averts his attention to Theo, and Theo just looks away, deliberately trying to deny that his loss to Dean was the reason for his bad performance. “Bring that kid here,” says Coach Stanley to Marcus, despite not knowing what his players are trying to tell him. And so, Marcus calls Dean. And that call is quite unexpected, when Dean has begun to lose his hope over the chance t
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 029 - He Is Too Short
Mary always looks nervous and uncomfortable whenever that man is around. It's not just about the difference in their status in The League of Hidden Blood, but more because of Gale Nicholson's unpredictable character.That man is almost like a psycho. He can give a naïve smile the entire time, but then suddenly emits intense murderous aura for an unexpected reason. It’s hard to identify his true face.“I, I’ve tried to invite him,” says Mary in a stutter. “But I… I have no power to force people to join. I can’t simply tell him to abandon his dream to become a professional athlete. He is so into it.”“Don’t you realize he’s become the center of attention after showing strange things here?” grumbles Prof. Nicholson with a low intimidating voice.“I don’t think he has done anything weird so far,” Mary argues, forcing her courage to debate with that man. “He does look amazing as a player. But, it’s still within the normal range of things that normal people can do.”“How much have you seen
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 030 - You Shut Up
Coach Stanley's face looks desperate when he hears that answer. He has coached this basketball club for almost 3 years, and has not yet managed to win a competition. Because of that, he was a little insistent on making a slightly more forceful philosophy regarding the minimum height limit of 185 cm. Yes, he himself made the provisions regarding that requirement. But the initial goal is only to select talent to ensure their chances of winning. And now... “Regardless of his height, with his ability, the chance for this team reaching the final is much higher than having 2 m players,” argues Coach Stanley. “So, you are doubting your own philosophy now?” asks Prof. Nicholson, before coldly sucking his cigarette deeply. “For that kid, I’m willing to change my philosophy. He is destined for something great.” “I know he is destined for something great. But you aren’t,” Prof. Nicholson refutes coldly. “Just pack your things. There are so many better managers for this team to replace you.”
Dean Morton : The Paupers' Guardian Angel 031 - He Belongs To The Paupers
Dean just sighs tiredly, and then complies with his request. He simply opens the clams forcefully, even without hiding how annoyed his face is. And then, he accidentally splashes the sauce on Jay. Just a little bit, even that sauce only drops on the napkin that Jay puts on his legs. “You son of bitch!” grumbles Jay with a mad face. “Oh, sorry!” “I know you did it on purpose!” “Come on! It only dropped on the napkin! Here, let me replace it with a new one.” Dean intends to pick that spoiled napkin. But Jay suddenly slaps his face. Well, he didn’t manage to do it, because Dean could read his evil emotions even before the slap, and managed to get away from it. However, because of the missed slap, Jay actually makes a mess of the table, and splashes most of the sauce into Monica’s dress. And surely, Jay puts the blame on Dean. “Is this how you treat your customers? Where is your manager? I want to see the manager!” “I have enough with this!” Monica gets up, and leaves a piece of

Even until the next few weeks, the situation in most places in The Democratic State of Yegristan, is still in chaos. Some of the vampires feel so relieved after finding out that they no longer have to drink human blood.But some of them are upset about losing their immortality. And their numbers are much greater, who are now venting their frustration and anger by causing chaos in society.But there are also some of them who do not realize what is happening, recklessly carrying out vandalizing, lootings and robberies, but later ultimately shot dead by the police.The current president is actually a half-blood from the Almas tribe, and he is still affiliated with the rulers of Estuaria.Instead of calming the chaos in his country, he is now in Medreisten, attending a meeting, which is also attended by representatives from two other kingdoms, Aflar and Ustobia.Even after Valery's death, these three countries are still under the influence of the Estuaria government, which is now under Sam

All the zombies in the forest, the dead vampires, Zulfik, and Harley, are now silent, swaying gently with blank faces.They stay like that, at least until all the specters within their bodies come out, and scatter in all directions. And instantly, all these lifeless bodies collapse.All the Manes in this forest are also getting out, seeming to be uncomfortable with the condition of the woods which have been covered in ice.They are interested in the stability in the area around Nimeza's core. The appearance of these Manes later catches Dean's attention.“I can't let them get near that stone.”Dean rushes over to the jet black stone, which is currently still in Valery's hand. Somehow, Valery’s hands are now slowly petrifying.This is what happens to people who lost their drive to live due to the effects of Nimeza's core, just like all the six previous kings of Yegristan who failed in inheriting that stone.Not only does he die, but every organ, cell and molecule in Valery’s body have b

Dean glances around to examine his situation. Suddenly, Namsqeem comes out of the soul shard which Dean keeps under his long blazer.“What is this? Why I feel so heavy?” asks Namsqeem.Dean doesn’t say a word. But at least, he looks so relieved knowing that the situation in Belestia Hill must have been secured.“These undead?” mumbles Namsqeem, seeming so familiar with Valery’s way of thinking. “He is going to use them to give him some space to cast his spells.”“I know,” Dean affirms. “Why don’t you deal with them, so I can handle that man?”Namsqeem makes his move. His sudden appearance has ruined all Valery’s plan. Now Valery needs to find another way to deal with Dean.But suddenly, he sees the arrival of so many missiles in the sky, coming from the east. They look so fast, because time passes with a different flow between inside the dome and outside it.All the missiles explode without being able to penetrate the dome. Yet, Valery still looks so upset, and Dean notices his sour f

Blood spurts from his mouth as his back hits the rocky cliff, where he gets stuck in the cracks caused by the impact.The crack then collapses, and he falls along with those rocks into a fairly large river below.A few moments later, Dean emerges from the river, floating to the edge, before he lands on the river bank, and immediately kneels down while coughing.“That was dangerous,” he mutters.His body releases thick haze, not just the steam of evaporating water from his soaked long blazer, but also the effects of his regeneration skill healing his wounds.There Dean realizes that his self-healing ability is much faster than usual. But still, that is no reason for him to feel safe.This regeneration won’t be able to raise him from death if one lethal attack kills him. Not to mention about the situation in Belestia Hill which he has been worrying about.“I can't be careless now. I have to end this as soon as possible.”Soon, he notices the emergence of fires in the forest. Even though

Zulfik's headless body is still floating while flapping his wings, as is Harley's headless body in his mechanical suit.Both of them are still alive and still able to control their bodies, at least until Valery pulls out the curse of immortality he once placed on them.Two blobs of bituminous liquid come out of Harley and Zulfik's bodies, before evaporating in the air. Only after that, the two headless bodies fall down as lifeless corpses.Apparently, these betrayals have disappointed Valery so much that he no longer wants to trust anyone.“I know you loved sacrificing your pawns to achieve your goals. But why?”Dean asks coldly, speaking in Nimeza language, and it’s effective to draw Valery’s interest.“Why you killed them now when you should be able to use them? Is this how you are going to create peace in the world?”To find Dean so fluent talking in that language, even with the native accent of ancient Zalfari people, Valery replies to him also in Nimeza language.“I don’t need the

Despite his indifferent attitude, believe me, he is really in a precarious condition right now.This is one of the side effects of Nimeza's core on him, which makes him always at peace, completely indifferent to life and death.One of the negative effects is that he has not been taking his fight seriously, which ultimately leads to his current situation.The only thing now which makes him think seriously about his fate is because of the safety of his wife and kid.But on the good side, he can still think calmly despite his situation, taking his time amidst the clouds, as if relaxing on a soft mattress.“Okaay, why don't I try to dig up a little of the memories of those old men?”He closes his eyes, trying to remember, as if what the four ancient apparitions had experienced in the past is his own experience.Unfortunately, they’d never been in a condition like this, and there is not the slightest memory where they had a technique which allowed them to fly.Until then…“Let's try the th

That’s the message given by Valery. And Antonin knows so well how important this warning is. That’s why he only tries to waste time, with so much alertness, without any intention to get close to Dean.He swings the two weapons from a distance, and again releases many ethereal weapons in all directions.These ethereal weapons linger around for a few minutes, spinning and floating randomly around Antonin, like satellites orbiting a planet.“What is he thinking? Is he going to attack me or not?”The movement of those ethereal weapons makes Dean a little confused, because they look more like protection instead of an offensive technique.But then, the ethereal weapons orbiting on the outermost side are getting further away from Antonin. Even though they are still circling around Antonin, they are starting to head towards Dean in their orbits.Dean steps away to avoid it, and then some of the ethereal weapons disappear into the thin air. Even so, Antonin still continues to swing his gryphon

After such a shocking surprise attack, which has destroyed the military ranks complete with their tanks and trucks, the situation suddenly becomes so quiet.Only the sound of moans of pain can be heard, accompanied by the sound of flames shooting out from the burning oil tanks of several trucks.And there is a man in a black long blazer, with most of his head wrapped in a cloth, standing in the middle of the chaos.“Go back to your homes!” he exclaims in a loud voice. “This is the final warning. You will not get anything good even if you win this war. It doesn't mean there will be a chance for you to win it. If you leave now, I’ll guarantee your safety from my wrath.”His voice is so loud, as if he is speaking with a megaphone. It even reaches the ears of a few soldiers in a tank more than 50 meters away.“Who is this guy?”“Who cares? Let’s see if he still can say a word after eating this one!”Soon, the tank open fires, shooting one HEAT (High Explosive Anti-tank) projectile, which

Valery can clearly feel her strong presence, but he is still in the state of confusion at the moment. After all, the last time he met Zamira was already more than two thousand years ago.He just assumes this strong presence is just one of the high-skilled Defteros taking part in the battle in Hullback Town.Until then, one of his pawns, an ancient specter named Shaheen, comes to him to informs about something.“Master! I just felt the present of Namsqeem in Belestia Hill,” he says.“Namsqeem?” Valery mutters curiously, feeling quite familiar with the name.“It’s Cresta’s lovely pet,” Shaheen informs.“Oh, that little one,” Valery sneers.“I don’t think you can call him that way now,” Shaheen reprimands. “It’s been two thousand years already. And there’s another strong spirit creature with him at moment. I’m not so sure if he is a specter or a mane. But there’s something strange with his form. It’s similar to what Cresta did to Namsqeem in the past.”Valery's facial expressions change.
