A tall, strong-faced woman entered the arena. She was the one Henry had assigned to referee the duel. This woman was Michelle Kurt, who was more senior than both James and Zen.Michelle watched James carefully. The confused face of James who was looking for a suitable wooden sword to use made her intrigued. A new kid like James would probably lose instantly when faced with Zen. Although he was Axel's student, he hadn't even practiced for a month. Moreover, the bruises depicted on James' face convinced Michelle that this man must be very weak.The woman turned her attention to Zen. In stark contrast to James, Zen looked in great shape and full of confidence to finish off his opponent. That sturdy body would probably pulverize James in no time. Add to that Zen's expression of holding back annoyance at James, he must be eager to kick the new kid's ass."You're wasting my time, new boy!" said Zen getting impatient seeing James still struggling to find a suitable weapon.James didn't liste
The audience cheered very loudly at Zen's extraordinary skill. The enthusiasm of the audience was so great that their shouts began to disturb the concentration of Anne who was enduring the pain.The enthusiasm of the audience was not without reason. Zen was known as a strong warrior who was arrogant. He never used his superpowers if he wasn't serious about fighting. He went through many missions without using his power of decay, and very few people had ever seen him use it. The first-time viewers would have been hysterical when they saw Zen decomposing the cloth. Zen was seriously fighting James."Damn! Zen is using his ability! It's a rare spectacle, but I didn't expect his power to be that terrifying!" one of the arena spectators said to the person beside him."True, Zen isn't usually like that. However, isn't that too much? His opponent is just a beginner who has only been training for ten days at NEST," his friend replied.Henry himself had not expected that Zen would be so seriou
The crowd cheered even more. Some were cheering for Zen and some were calling him out for overreacting. However, Michelle still didn't do anything because the fight wasn't over yet. Michelle still saw James trying to stand up. Who knows what she was thinking, but Michelle felt that something interesting was about to happen. James struggled to stand up. His legs were shaking and his face turned pale. The grip of the wooden sword in his right hand became slippery due to the sweat that was constantly pouring out of his body. The vision gradually became blurry, like an analog TV that lacks signal, there was a lot of noise in James' vision. Unable to cope with his condition, James used his wooden sword to support his body that was about to collapse. The extreme dizziness made his body start to wobble. His breathing became heavy and irregular. James knew that this was the result of overusing his body. His body could not withstand too much strength due to lack of training. So when he exper
The Landfield police station held a closed meeting for several investigators who were all monsters, two of them were Ethan and Benjamin. They gathered led by Landfield's police chief, Marion.Marion taped a picture of James on the wall and wrote the suspect underneath the picture. She then pointed at the photo, "You see this face. This is James Winter, a new Landfield resident who just moved in about two weeks ago. He works at an automobile company as a clerk and only worked one day, after which he disappeared. In his house, there are traces of the massacre of 10 of our people and the smell has disappeared. It is suspected that he had a relationship with Ryo Krugger, he was at the place where Ryo Krugger was shot and followed his body to the Visconte funeral home. It is certain that James Winter knows the identity of our people and intends to hunt us down. In addition, he committed the massacre together with a woman whose odor still lingers in his room. According to the investigation,
James and Zen were both unable to use their left hands anymore, but James was in bad shape as he did not have as much experience as Zen in a fight. Everyone could see that Zen could still stand upright while James was in shock and his body was shaking. James couldn't stand up straight despite his face trying to smile to intimidate Zen. To Zen, it was just James' strongman attitude.Zen looked around at how the crowd was shouting at him. Some cheered for him and some reviled him for being too cruel to the new kid. He then looked at Michelle, the woman who was folding her arms and watching calmly. She instead returned Zen's gaze with a mysterious little smile that made Zen feel annoyed.What an asshole woman. She deliberately didn't stop this match to make me look bad! Zen cursed inwardly.Zen again set up his fighting stance, this time he used his bare hands, and only used his right hand. He gripped his right hand tightly, "If it's like this, it should be fair, right?"James himself t
In the narrow alley, Michelle was helpless. The bones of her hand began to break and it made a very loud sound due to Karin's grip. Michelle screamed in pain and cried, but no one heard her cries in the narrow alley.Karin chuckled with satisfaction, she was enjoying the torture she was inflicting on Michelle, "The longer you take to answer, the more your body will hurt!"Michelle pummeled Karin's body with her other hand, but only ended up with her fist hurting after hitting the scales on Karin's body many times. Michelle's fist even bled from the blows."Monster! Let go of me!" Michelle shouted while continuing to cry.Karin's face became irritated after being told like that. She slapped Michelle's face repeatedly and swore at her, "Bitch! Asshole! You're a monster yourself!"Red blood started dripping from Michelle's mouth. Her face was covered in blisters from the blows. Her vision became blank and blurry.In the panic, a policeman walked down the alley, and Mechelle shouted loudl
The policeman's mouth began to tear almost to the ear. He opened his mouth wide and ate the cotton. His mouth crushed the small object with glee. Willis looked at the creature with an uncomfortable look. Willis hurriedly opened the exit door.The policeman looked at Willis casually, "Why, Willis?""If your business is done, then leave quickly! My clinic will be closing soon." Willis said.Instantly, the policeman changed his body shape. Scales appeared on his body, his eyes turned red, and a strong fishy odor came out. Willis hurriedly closed the door. He was annoyed, "Fool, don't transform here! This clinic is often visited by humans too. Do you want to bankrupt me?"The monster chuckled, he was happy that his mockery of Willis made Willis panic, "Why? Are you afraid to see the form of your kind? You are the same as us. We are the same as you."Willis shook his head, "No! I am different. I can understand their sciences while you can't!"The monster furrowed his brows, he was angry. T
Michelle Kurt then continued to travel and hide. Her future vision helped her to continue to escape from the monsters, or even occasionally trap them until they died.About four months Michelle continued to hide in a corner of the city of Landfield without being caught by the monsters, Michelle's future vision saw a man who finished off three monsters at once using coins. In her shadow the coins flew and hit the monsters' spies until their eyeballs burst, and the scene was close to Michelle's position.Michelle stealthily made her way to the place, which was an empty warehouse where wheat flour was stored. The building had been empty for years and was often used as a gathering place for monsters. The monsters mingled with the humans by turning into thugs. Michelle had seen them in action and their bodies were immune to firearms and sharp weapons. Their scales were very strong."It turned out to be very easy to make money as a human. I also didn't expect that human-made food has a dece
