*If host plans to engage in a physical battle, host has to first study his opponents, in order to defeat them. Host indeed doesn't have any experience in physical combat. In a desperate case where host's mana has been completely depleted to use any skills, host will end up as a pig ready for slaughter to his opponents.' 'You've never failed to tell me about my weaknesses, thank you very much for that helpful information system.' Jacob replied sarcastically that he'd been compared to a pig due to him not being strong enough.'Host is most welcome.'Jacob almost facepalmed.Had the system not heard the sarcasm in his tone.However, Jacob couldn't deny the fact that there was undeniable truth in the systems words. He had an array of skills that would help him win his way out of any combat, however he lacked any ability in physical combat, in a situation where he couldn't use his skills, he'd be toast to his opponents."What's wrong? Need to take a break?" Nikita laughed, her eyes glimme
True to his words, Kayden didn't hold back in his attacks at all. In less than twenty minutes into their combat, Jacob was already sweating profusely. Staggering backwards Jacob struggled to steady himself as Kayden had landed a fierce hit to his chest that caused him to almost lose his footing."Told ya I won't hold back." Kayden said smirking gesturing for Jacob to come at him. Jacob let out a deep breath, "You are a man of your word." Jacob sighed feeling like he was in for a tough one today. However, the fight sent an exciting challenge into his bones, he'd been dodging Kayden's attacks trying to make some attacks of his own however he didn't get a single move on Kayden, and his blood pounded with adrenaline, not exhausted at all despite being in a fight with a much stronger opponent. Kayden came at him once more, and with an equal amount of energy, Jacob evaded an unexpected kick to the face using that as a chance to throw his own attack which Kayden deflated effortlessly. Ho
Jacob laughed, "I'm sorry, what was that?" "You heard me!" Kayden seemed to be losing his cool at the fact that Jacob was evidently taking this as a joke. "I am Jacob Nicholas." Jacob replied seriously this time. He'd known they had become suspicious of him, but Kayden's question had sounded quite funny to him.Though he wasn't this particular Jacob since he was a transmigrated soul from earth, but he didn't tell any lies, he was Jacob Nicholas whether in his past or present. Kayden sent a glance towards Nikita who was on the other side of the room and for some reason she nodded at Kayden to which he frowned then returned his gaze back to Jacob. "Hmm, of course you are..." Kayden began slowly strolling around the cell his eyes showing contemplation as he spoke, "You lost your parents, frightened by this intimidating world filled with powerful people while you were a nobody, you're the perfect target for a force looking for gullible little kids to manipulate and pull in as a weapon
Jacob opened his mouth to say something, but later decided against it as he stepped into Nikita's cabin. He couldn't help but look around the elegantly designed yet feminine looking room with lots of reds and whites. Nikita noticed the way Jacob's eyes scanned around the place, "What? Is it too much color that it burns your eyes." "No, just enough, it suits you.""Sit." She gestured for him to sit in the plush sofa in the room, she sauntered across the room in her night dress, unabashed that there was a male in the room with her, pouring him a glass of water which she offered, she sat herself in a sofa across from him."Knowing you I can tell you're not really here for that massage are you?" She asked, a hint in her voice said she would be more than willing to give that massage.Jacob gulped! Should he have gone to Kayden instead?"I found out how we can discover who's the master mind behind the undead creatures." The sultry smile on Nikita's face stiffened as she heard that, "Don
Jacob was a little taken aback when she sighted him, the smile on his face fell. However, reigning in the awkwardness he felt, not wanting to appear like a creep, he walked forward into the training grounds. "Cool moves!" Jacob commented."Thanks, I've been practicing." Lucy curled the whip back in hanging it on the belt by her waist. "Lucas has been looking for you." Jacob informed. "He was acting a little weird.""Why? Did he try to bully you again?" She quickly asked a little worriedly."Not at all, in fact he was acting pretty...nice." Jacob replied still finding Lucas's behavior weird. Lucy smiled, "Sorry about that, we had a talk about it and he's been trying to act a little nicer with people since I told him off about his arrogant behavior.""Ah, I hope that turns out a lot better with other people than it did with me, cause his personality change seems to be a huge struggle for him."Lucy chuckled at that before replying, "He'll get used to it." "Yeah, he will." Jacob's vo
Nikita drove them both to a creepy looking mansion located far towards the borders of the city, dangerously close to the barriers that cut off the safe part of the city away from the red zone."Isn't it dangerous for anyone to live here, it's so close to the red zone." Jacob asked as he got down from the car watching the obviously once elegant looking mansion that now looked deserted."Well no one lives there now, used to be our home until this part of the city was almost plunged into the red zone, we had to move, though we barely stay at our new home which is in the middle of the city as we live at the guild now." She slammed the door of the car shut then made towards the entrance of the abandoned mansion, "Come on." She called walking in through the entrance."Looks a little creepy for a hero squad hangout." Jacob commented as they walked into the mansion whose walls were filled with spider webs and bats disturbed from their slumber by the presence of the humans flapping their wings
"How the hell did he get here?" Kayden asked as he stared at the unconscious Jason who'd been laid down in a dirty couch."I don't know, he probably followed us here." Jacob replied.Kayden gave Nikita a look, "How was I to know the beast guy would follow us? I was careful of anything in human form but not beast.""Ughh!" At this moment Jason stirred grabbing his throbbing head, "Damn, were you trying to kill me or something?" He muttered sitting up.Opening his eyes he scanned his surroundings before his eyes fell on Kayden and Nikita, then Jacob who was beside him."Sorry about that man, are you okay?" Jacob asked worriedly."If you ignore how much my head hurts, yeah, I'm good. What the hell is this place and why are you here with..." Jason trailed off seeing the hard look in Kayden's eyes. "How did you get here?" Nikita asked."Saw you both getting in the car and leaving the guild, and everyone was talking about how you both are a thing now, I knew Jacob liked Lucy, so I wanted t
The guardians began laughing among themselves seeing the state Jacob was in."So much for a double awakened, you're just a helpless little kid to our might after all." The commander of the guardians said in a ridiculing tone.Just at the moment the guardians were beginning to gloat about their might, a stifling pressure, that seemed to come from a very mighty figure descended upon them.Taken aback, their eyes widened as they felt themselves having trouble even breathing due to the suffocating pressure. "What...the..." Baron, the commander of the guardians managed to choke out as he stared at Jacob with surprise filled eyes. After a short amount of time, Jacob withdrew his might skill he had used on the guardians knowing it would drain too much of his mana if he kept it going, hoping that would be enough to let them know to leave him alone."That kind of power isn't something that should come out of a little kid like you!" Baron's eyes flashed with greed, "What great treasure are yo
