"Then let's get this fight started already," Orah declared with a smile. Erix quickly got into stance when he heard that. Orah equally did the same. In this fight, he will be going against a demon noble, so he needs to be fully prepared. He took out his gauntlet from his wristwear.He could have used the Rabi gauntlet but he needed a decent stat increment. And that would only be possible if he uses the Tigclaw.He also activated his chest armor. That one gave him an extra stat increment separately.Putting those two on, he felt slightly stronger and more energetic than his usual body."C'mon, attack me," Orah proclaimed with a smile.Both of them were about 20 meters away from each other.The moment Orah said that Erix activated three blood slash attacks and projected them toward him.Orah smiled heartily when he saw that coming. 'As expected, since he is not that good in hand combats, he will depend greatly on his dark aura,' Orah thought as he drew out his fists ready to bang off
Back in the dorm room, Shota and Rin were still talking about Orah.Shota said he still can't believe a demon was nice like that. It was too good to be true. He believed Orah had come with a hidden agenda and that was what he was trying to make Erix understand, but the latter kept insisting the boy was genuine simply because his skill told him so.'How do we know this skill is consistently accurate and reliable?' Shota thought. Actually, this was what he worry about, what if the skill was giving them the wrong info, they would end up trusting the wrong person.Anyway, he can do nothing, Erix's mind was already made up. He would just stick around and watch the boy closely to see if he would find anything suspicious about him."I'm heading out to training now. I think it's time for my training," Rin said as he got up from his bed."How far have you progressed with your training? Are you strong enough to kick their asses now?" Shota asked jokingly."Not yet. But I will, soon. See," Rin
"Here, grab my hand," Orah said, pulling out his hand to Erix.Erix took his hand and got up.Orah had wasted no time punching him when he tried to get at his back a while ago."You have a very solid fist, man. That was the hardest punch I have ever received in my life," Erix remarked after he got up on his feet."I told you, learn the moves properly before making a move. C'mon, let's resume the training. I won't allow you to interfere until I'm done tutoring you, alright?" Orah said.After that, he began displaying a series of methods one would use to attain proficiency using hand-to-hand combat.Seeing all this, Erix realized how weak he was compared to demons. What Orah said was true, he might be strong and skillful when battling with a human, but in terms of fighting a real demon, he was nothing.All of this made him realize one thing, nothing can surpass decent hand-to-hand combat experience."I'm done showing you all I know about hand-to-hand combat. It's completely up to you no
Two hours later, Natasha began to flutter her eyes open. She was feeling very weak and dropsy. Slowly, she began opening her eyes until they were fully opened.At first, she didn't recognize where she was as the place looked obsolete and unfamiliar but thinking back to what happened before she passed out, her eyes widened in horridness.She quickly jumped down from the desk she was laying on. Her face showed anger and wrath.She clearly remembers everything that transpired before she passed out. Even what Erix told her at the point of going unconscious, she had it all in mind.How the fuck did he leave her here, inside an old dusty class?"That moron!" She exclaimed in anger."I need to calm down, right now. I should find him first. I swear, I'll punch him in the face once I see him. He should have at least taken me to the clinic, but he just left me here like I'm some slum.""I'll deal with that bastard once I see him!" Natasha grumbled angrily before she dashed out of the classroom.
"What if it's death? What if I kill you if I expose my secret?" Erix asked with a smirk.Natasha was left speechless when she heard that question. She had no answer to that. How the fuck would someone waste a life over a little thing like that?"No comments. All I know is that anything we discuss will remain between us," Natasha replied."Fine, if you say so. Just bear in mind that anything can happen if you later resort to running your mouth. Who knows, it might even be death," Erix stated with all seriousness."Are you fucking serious right now? You are threatening me, aren't you?" Natasha snapped at Erix angrily.She was fed up with hearing talks about killing and death."You're gonna assassinate me if I tell anyone your secret, who does that? Anyway, just tell me already. I have no intention of going back on my words, but no one is killing anyone here."Erix chuckled inaudibly when he heard that. He was laughing not because of what she just said, but because of how drastically her
Inside a sophisticated and exquisite room in the third-year building, two second-year boys were seen reporting the current progress of their plan to their boss, Quito.Quito was seated in front of his desktop typing away as his men updated him on the current progress of their plan."Finally, I met with him today and informed him that he would soon be called over," The grey-haired boy concluded the report.Quito stopped typing when he heard that. He looked up at their faces and asked."Don't you think something is wrong?"Upon hearing that, his men twitched their faces in confusion. They didn't understand what he meant, but they didn't dare ignore Quito, so they responded."Huh?""Could you please be more specific, boss?" Quito thought for a moment. "Did any of you do anything strange in Rin? I've got a feeling that he is no longer working for us. I'm not sure, I just have that feeling.""None that I could say. All I notice is him hanging out with his friends and then training alone in
"Why are you two staring at yourselves like that? Did I say something funny?" Shota asked confusedly. He couldn't understand the look on their faces after he mentioned recruiting Natasha to join them."Why do I feel like you're happy about bringing that girl over to our side?" Rin was the person that spoke up. "Do you perhaps have something for her? I'm asking because this is actually the first time you've made such a request. You hardly trust people. Even after everything we and Nicole have been through, you still find it hard to trust her. To be honest, it's strange that you've already trusted Natasha and even thought of recruiting her, don't you think so, Erix?" Shota went bright red after he heard that, further surprising Erix and Rin for this was the first time they were seeing Shota blush like that.This further confirmed their thoughts about him. He really has something for that girl. Though he showed no conspicuous interest when the girl first showed up in their lives, he co
Initially, Orah wasn't taking that fight seriously, but the moment the boy broke his arm, he understood how seriously he would have taken that fight. He didn't want to hurt the boy that much. At least beating him up until the point he would barely stand on his feet was the point he planned to end that fight, but then he saw the boy bring out a dagger to stab him, and that was when he began to understand how serious the boy was taking the fight. He, seeing the boy's seriousness, decided to take the fight seriously too. After all, he made him do it. Performing the leg kick he taught Erix today in one swift motion, the boy dropped to the ground and went unconscious. "That was pretty easy. Besides that Leo guy, I haven't seen a tough human before. Maybe, I should try going on a hunt here like I usually go back in military base three. That way, I might find thieves, bullies, and even rapists, and leverage on them." "It's been a while since I last fed on humans," He said looking at the
