Shota hurriedly pursued Erix after Rin told him how disoriented he was before he left. He didn't want to take chances. Erix was already on the radar of the military after that murder case, so every one of his actions from now on would be closely investigated and looked into, so Shota wanted to avoid problems for him. Shota entered the hallway in a dash, and upon seeing there was a lot of distance between them, he hastened his pace as fast as he could to not lose him. He tailed Erix until they got to the end of the hallway, and just when he was about to divert into another hallway Erix waddled into, two dudes suddenly blocked his front. Seeing that, he took a U-turn, but again, two other dudes blocked him from behind. "What is the meaning of this, huh? Get the f*ck out of my way now!" He shouted in a frantic tone, but none of the boys bulged from their position, instead, they lifted their wrists to show their superiority. One with grey hair had a power level of 7, while the ot
"Uhmm, Erix, I wanna ask you something. Were you born a demon?" Rin asked. He was curious since demons were known to be mythical creatures mentioned mainly in fantasy stories.He had only read them in books and very much knew they really doesn't exist. He had a reason for asking that question. If he was born a demon, then his parents were most likely to be demons too, and their past ancestors. Perhaps being an inventor made him want to find out about every tiniest bit of weird information. Erix thought for a while about what to do. He wasn't sure he could trust them with information about his system. 'C'mon host, hope you aren't planning on telling them about your system? One piece of advice, never tell anyone about your system, this is for your safety. It's still against the law of demons to let humans know of their existence, but since you have already told them and they seem to genuinely care for you, it's okay. But this system case is rare. You're the very first person to have
When the images of what had happened to Nicole started flashing through her head, she immediately started to get this tingling feeling over her body. She was reacting to the memory of Erix biting her.It wasn't a painful memory, instead, it was quite an addictive feeling. The sensation of the blood rushing through her body was addicting. Her face was starting to turn red at the thought of how Erix pressed her body to his. That was when she lifted her hand and placed it on the neck."Huh? Wasn't the bite on my neck? I can't feel anything.""Oh, young lady, you are awake?" Jasmine said with a smile. "You were sleeping comfortably and I didn't know when you were going to wake up. Thankfully, you weren't out for long.""How did I end up here?" Nicole asked."Oh, a boy brought you here. I don't remember his name. But he had short black hair and a pair of dimmed-red eyes." Jasmine said with a smile. Remembering the feeling she got when she first met the boy, her cheek slightly turned red.Th
Erix ran out of the room before Nicole could get to say another word. While in the hallway, he analyzed back on his discussion with Nicole. Everything went easier than he thought. He never imagined the discussion to go easy like that. And all thanks to Lena, he didn't make a mistake. The girl wasn't that bad. What settled him more was that she was genuine with what she said. At least he won't have to fear being sabotaged in the back. But there was something that made him uncomfortable being around her. It was the way she looked at him. She blushes each time she looks directly at his face, and that makes him really uncomfortable.Had it been he didn't run out of the room, the girl wouldn't have stopped with her questions, thus prolonging his stay.'Let's just hope she won't be the annoying type,' He muttered to himself.Perhaps because it was dinner time, the hallway was empty. Usually, he would have hurried to get to his room to circumvent the annoying stares from the students, but n
"Young man and to all the people that support him, listen attentively," He said with a gentle voice. "If you want to use your ability to your satisfaction, then go to the appropriate class. I don't have time to waste on kids like you." Leo didn't wait for them to rebuke him or anything, he just glared coldly at them and after that, those students knew better not to utter another word. No one dared to say anything else after that.He then began again. "As I said before, the time will come when you won't be able to fight a one-versus-one battle. The world isn't noble enough to allow such a thing. Take the Sulckers for example. If they didn't know how to fight with weapons, they would have lost the war since humanity's greatest asset was its number and ability. So don't think you will die once your mana hits rock bottom. On the contrary, it would be the moment when your enemy would let its guard down. And when it happens, you would have to slice their necks with weapons. We are just doing
Shota scurried at his fastest speed toward them, keen to slash whatever will enter inside his swaying range.Since Nicole had a mid-range weapon, Erix decided to confront Shota. The former was ready to counterattack the moment the bow would have come into range, but it never came. Instead, Shota had disappeared from Erix's vision.*Clang*It was only when he heard the sound of his sword going against something did he realize that Shota had passed through him.How?He didn't know.Shota just seems to teleport behind him.Nicole had a hard time defending since she didn't expect that either. But as someone who had a decent experience wielding a bow, she still managed to stop Shota's onslaught before regrouping with Erix.'His sword dexterity is far above than I first thought,' Nicole caught her breath. 'He truly deserves level six.'Nicole had fought with many levels six in the past and none of them had given her a hard time as Shota did. From how he fought, she knew the latter was holdin
After the bell went off, everyone headed to their classes to finish the remaining lessons for the day. Erix and his friends equally went to their class after the bell sounded. As usual, Rin went to the ability class, while Erix, Shota, and Nicole, left for the weapon class. "Alright everyone, we will begin again with our practice. But this time, it will be a little different. I have seen some students here with their experience, and I will say, I'm truly impressed. You guys appear a lot better than any other first-years I taught in the past. Usually, we would have needed to practice for more days before doing this, but seeing how fast you guys are advancing, I think it's best we do it now because any further delay would be a total waste of time." Leo said after everyone had settled in the class. "In this practice, you will need to fight at random. What I mean is once you step out, any person that wishes to battle with you will come out as well and challenge you. It's random and no
"Nicole, do you want to hang out with us?" Erix asked as they walked through the hallway."Are you sure? I don't want to bother you.""You are already bothering us, so come if you want," Shota said with a sulky face. Erix gave a 'please don't start' look at him and that instant, he shut up."You're not, I wouldn't ask if that's the case.""Fair enough," she said with a smile. "Then if you don't mind, I will disturb you.""Sure." Erix had a reason for asking her to join them. He wants to create a solid relationship between them, so Nicole wouldn't have any intent on betraying them in the nearest future. They then went to pick up Rin, and as the latter saw Nicole with them, he glanced at Shota to see his reaction, but the latter only shrugged and pointed at Erix. "Nice to meet you, again," Rin said with a smile. Looking at Nicole's face, his face slightly turned red. "Likewise. I'm Erix's friend now and also Shota maybe, so don't act formal with me." Nicole said with a smile, obnoxio
