Servants passed by us, each courteously bowing to me. Young boys and girls, but most of all it was the latter. I saw guys from the strength of two or three, that's all. No more. Not in demand, I guess. Reya quietly fell behind us, turning at the first fork and hurried to another part of the white buildings.Everything looked so neat and sterile, beautiful and well-groomed. If I get the opportunity to settle somewhere in this world and time, I would like it to be the same. Buy a bunch of robots, have a harem of slaves and live to your heart's content. As far as I understand, this is not prohibited by law. Probably, as usual - you can have one wife, and at least heaps of concubines. The main thing is that they do not kill each other out of jealousy ... But how on the other hand? Can a woman have concubines, or how to call it correctly? And if so, how do their other husbands feel about it? Hmm... so many questions in my head...It was cool and comfortable in here. Not such a scorching he

Once the first course was finished, Freemius decided to start the conversation again. Although, I was hoping that we would all go about our business. Sitting here was uncomfortable and unnerving, I had not experienced this in a long time. But I can't get up and leave. Threaten with trouble. They can block access to money in my personal account, if any, and without money it will be hard. For who knows where the search will lead us.- Crillius, verified information has reached me that you have crippled the future husband of your elder sister. The one who is the son of a respected person with whom we have a business relationship,” began to dryly say “father” while looking at me.Her sister rolled her eyes, unable to contain her surprise. Apparently no one told her about it. At the same time, my conscience pricked me. Crap! Who knew that everything would turn out like this?! More precisely, they warned me ... Damn it. But you can't undo what's been done, you can only fix everything.There

The system delighted me with such a sudden notification. If she had another sound alert, I'm sure I would have jumped on the spot in surprise like a street cat. For in front of me, suddenly, unexpectedly, was a witch. Real witch! Tria's system won't lie, I've checked, but how quickly it happens to me.No wonder she mentioned that my fate is closely connected with the witches and their future. This pseudo-goddess was specifically looking for such a person among the streams of ether, who was destined to help girls with cool abilities. It's just that everything happens so unexpectedly.I decided to visit Creel's home planet and on you, there was a witch. Right next to you, no need to go far. Although our task was quite different ...- Creel? Is that really you?! - the voice of the witch sounded in surprise in front of me.I finally forced myself to break free from the captivity of my own thoughts. It’s not good to dive into yourself when you are introduced to a person, or rather, I get t

Atria obediently paused the video, then turned it off completely as soon as I nodded. After all, she is my AI, and not someone else's to carry out other people's commands.Senoria was still in prostration from what she saw, but Lilia looked at me as a hero.“That's incredible, Creel! You fought them so hard, you risked your life! Where did you learn it?Yeah, that's one of those questions that ought to be given pretty convincing answers. How long has the guy been away from home? Month? Year? I do not think that a person is capable of learning in such a short time what I can do and become as strong as the system allows.- I just remembered everything we were taught at the academy, - shrugging my shoulders, I come up with an excuse, - You understand, stress, adrenaline, fear of death ...- It's incredible! Lilia exclaimed louder, forcing Senoriya to open her eyes in surprise.The witch looked at me like I was a superstar who stopped her mile-long cortege near her to give an autograph an

Lily asked a question, her eyes flashing with embarrassment, and she blushed slightly. Somehow, too quickly, she saw in me a man whose compliments can make you blush so much, in principle, Senoria did not lag behind, but she was more embarrassed by the compliment itself. Still, she will not look at her brother in a different way. I don't care what she thinks of me though. If everything works out, then I will soon dump, from here forever forgetting about their existence, I hope.That thought made me feel at peace, but it still didn't feel right. The same feeling when you put a blank white sheet on the table, everything is smooth and empty, draw a straight line with a pencil and bam! She grimaces at the crumb of bread lying under the leaf. That's how it is now. Looking at Senoria I had a similar unpleasant impression. Maybe it's a prick of conscience, or hidden brotherly love hidden in this body somewhere deep, deep, but the thought that she will remain here alone surrounded by this fam

Yes, I already figured it out! And so I feel how the blood in my veins freezes from just one piercing look, filled with unprecedented power. If a daughter can boil me alive, what can a mother do?- Crillius? You are back! - the woman exclaimed joyfully, embracing me and pressing me to her luxurious chest.I had the courage not to jump away with a frightened squeal from her, but to allow myself to be pressed against the pleasant soft hemispheres peeking out from behind the corset.Elena herself was a stunningly beautiful and spectacular woman. Such a touch of mystery and strength, grace, beauty and danger. She is like the heroine of noir detectives of the sixties of the twentieth century. Who came to the detectives in the office asking them to investigate the infidelity of their husbands, and certainly promised huge trouble. But in the end, having become widowed and rich, they remained with the main character.- Yes, El ... Lady Elena, - I corrected myself in time, and was finally rele

I'm runing. Darkness is gathering around. Bottomless, impenetrable, viscous as pitch. Her long tentacles try to grab my legs, but I don't let them. Every time I feel that tenacious hugs are getting closer, I force myself to speed up. It helps, but not for long. As if trying to keep me from escaping, the darkness makes the air thicken. It becomes something like a jelly, through which you have to break through with difficulty. I'm afraid to stop. Everything in my mind, drowning in pure concentrated fear, tells me to move. I can't let the darkness overtake me. It is forbidden…The strength is leaving me. I am an ordinary person. Simple Kirill from an orphanage in Moscow. Not awakened, not the so-called "Shield of the Witches", I am nobody. A shadow running from the darkness that wants to swallow her. I need light, it will warm, give me strength, will not allow me to dissolve. It will make my contours clearer and more expressive, preventing them from merging with the environment. My fear

- You're not alone, Creel! - No one around, Terra and Eva on their mission. If they decided to kill me, then I would just lie there in a pool of my own blood. It seems to me that I would not have had time to understand that I was dead at all. But you were still excited...- Yes, then I wanted to kill him! To tear apart with bare hands, to leave a reminder of yourself before death: a scar, a cut, whatever. Just to leave something behind...I looked at my own hands as if they were up to the elbows in blood. Although it was true, in the past I often had to dirty them, but I never thought about death. I drove this thought away from me, not allowing it to take root in my head. And now it hit me. “Kril, you are not alone, even now you have me,” Atria said in a sad voice, “Although these words from the mouth of the AI sound stupid, but I am always with you. But you don't always support my decisions...“At first yes, but then something changed,” she answered mysteriously, not wanting

Epilogue
The noise of the crowd in the bar forced me to break away from my own thoughts, interrupting them like TV static, preventing me from focusing on what had happened in the past.I would like to forget all this altogether, throw it away and move on with my life.But it's hard to do all this, sitting in an old bar, drinking cheap diluted beer while grimacing at the putrid smell of people around, and also watching another reminder on TV ...“It's been a week since that horrific incident when a group of supervillains took over the Superhero Academy, set off explosions all over Yuniopolis, and released the prisoners from Ironville Prison.Here, in time with the voice of the pretty girl of the announcer, frames of devastation began to appear on the screen. Destroyed to the ground houses, formed as if they were made of playing cards. Burning shopping centers, churches, administrations, and, behold, the prison itself in all its glory, in the iron wall of which a huge hole gapes.It turns out th

After all, it will not be possible to get everything and clean it.Mistakes are not allowed.- I'll free you! Now is the time! Marcus snapped out of his seat.He ran up to Rena and grabbed her by the waist and turned her back to him. He pressed something on the device hanging on his belt, and then, with a buzzing sound, began to inject a huge amount of a drug that enhances abilities through the tubes.Rene started screaming in pain again, but this time her agony was stronger. The girl fell to the floor, began to writhe, bend, tear her clothes and scratch her skin.I can't even imagine how she feels right now.“Be patient, dear,” Marcus whispered, stroking her bald head, “It’s okay, you have to do this, remove the pain, endure it and free HER, even if you yourself have to die.”Who is locked up there? What woman is so important to Marcus that he is ready to give people's lives for her? What should I do? To stop him?Not! I've gone too far! You can not stop half way because of your own

My fingers closed around Katherine's throat. I could feel it shrinking, trying to get at least a breath of life-giving air, but I didn't let it happen.All.End.Removing my hand, I looked at the pale face of the girl with her eyes closed. Heavy, greedy sighs escape my lips, as if I had just been strangled, not her. Not enough oxygen, dizzy.I didn't want to end up like this. Did not want.Yielding to a conscientious impulse, I felt the artery on her neck with two fingers - there is a pulse, but weak.Already happy. I was afraid that I would kill her, I would overdo it with force. After all, he could break her cervical vertebrae with gloves, or somehow harm her.Crap…Is it all worth it? Since when am I ready to strangle a person for the sake of some ephemeral piece of information?“Sorry, Kat,” I whisper, looking at her face.Bending down a little, I kiss her on the forehead, and then I get up and walk towards the descent. I feel extremely lousy at this moment. Somewhat overly emotio

Strange feeling.You seem to have experienced remembering, you know that they are in your head, and you can even feel them, but you can’t see them. It's akin to taking an old disc from the shelf, inserting it into the player and it won't play, it's damaged. So do I.- Don't you remember? Marcus was sincerely surprised. “Well, no wonder, she warned about something like that.- Can you continue your story? I ask irritably, feeling my temples begin to squeeze.“Okay,” Marcus replied with a shrug as he walked around Rene.He took a chair, and passing a little closer to me, placing it next to me.“Sit down, I see you are not well,” he said in a voice full of sympathy and concern.His hand rested on my shoulder, forcing me to gently, but at the same time, adamantly sink into the seat.Then, smiling, he stepped aside breaking the distance and showing his empty hands.Why such courtesy?But thanks to this thoughtful gesture on his part, I was able to sit back in my chair and allow myself to r

The elevator doors parted in different directions, revealing the inside of a metal booth, upholstered in wood in the old style of the sixties. Once inside, I turned around to face the closing doors. My gaze slowly lowered to see small streaks of blood trailing from the elevator doors.Looking down, I noticed blood dripping from the gloves mixed with everything else. In the joints between the fingers, where the metal was connected by some kind of elastic lining, someone's long hair was stuck, which I immediately pulled out, throwing it aside.The unpleasant consequences of the death of many people. They always leave a lot of dirt behind. It is even surprising why nature made death so dirty? Is it really only in order to thereby scare away all other predators from the body and let it decompose becoming fertilizer?If so, then humanity has broken this primary cycle. Those students definitely can't become fertilizer for anything. They are cremated, and the ashes will be scattered somewher

“… and that’s how we come to the fact that we need to check you out!” Guys, kill her!What? Who? What is it about? Who to kill? What guys? I got distracted! Crap! Looks like he's inviting trouble...Sighing, I looked at the crowd of zombified students walking towards me. They all walked quite briskly, someone hovered above the ground, a couple climbed the walls and tried to take a position above me. I was surrounded, and if they use their abilities, it will be very bad for me.Without waiting for the attack, I made a short dash forward, jumped up and, pushing off the bench, caught my hands on the metal roof of the canopy that blocked the paths between the buildings of the academy.They immediately grabbed me by the legs and began to pull me down, trying to fight back, I heard how their fingers and hands were breaking. One of them actually had my boot run into his face, breaking his nose, but he didn't even notice. That's just a huge minus.Zombified people do not feel pain, they are r

So the time has come to fight against the mentors who have been sharing their knowledge with me all this short time. I must admit that everything they taught me here came in handy for me very soon. Even unexpectedly, somehow.Just as unexpected as Yolanda's attacks.A beautiful woman in a long dress standing against the wall attacked us with her ability.Stone blocks flew at us. Walls appeared right in front of your nose, and under your feet every now and then small obstacles strove to jump out. I had to dodge very often. So often that I could no longer really keep track of anything else, my gaze was lost in all this flickering of concrete sculptures and deadly structures, and I completely surrendered to the will of instincts.Run a meter forward, and then bounce back to dodge the concrete guillotine that has arisen above your head, roll to the side in the hope of slipping under a multi-ton block.— Watch out! I shout to Katherine.Sliding across the floor, I grab the girl by the legs

It surprised. Why did she decide to release me first? She could help herself first… “Now help me. So helping each other and actually holding hands so that the paper clip does not disappear into the air, we got out of the steel fetters holding us back. - Finally! Katherine whispered wearily, leaning against an iron beam. Her chest heaved up and then down heavily in time with her greedy breaths. After just a couple of minutes, we were out of breath as if we had run a couple of kilometers of cross-country. But we still need to get out of here and face those who kidnapped us. - Get down! Katherine whispered as she jumped at me. She pressed my body to the floor, and she fell down herself, trying to completely hide behind boxes with broken equipment and a bunch of tools from above. At first I did not understand what all this was for, but then I managed to hear quiet steps. Someone was walking in our direction with a confident, neat step. Is it one of our guards? They finally decided to sh

Something too often, being in a new body, I get into some kind of trouble. As soon as we let Katherine into our house, the door of the apartment was knocked out by an explosion, and we were seized. Memory helpfully throws up scattered fragments of a conversation that we had before the attack. Kat, one might say, fell on my head like a Japanese kamikaze on an aircraft carrier. The girl was out of her mind. Dilated pupils looked at me with insatiable hunger and desire, the scarlet skin of her face, frequent heavy sighs, she looked more like an excited drug addict than a harsh and terrible detective. She tried in every possible way to get close to me, and this made her uncomfortable. She pressed me against the wall, breathed into my neck, so at the same time she was also rude. Crap! I can’t say that I don’t like assertive girls who take the initiative in their own hands, but not when everything goes like this. Although it is worth recognizing it turned me on. I have never been a fan of
