If, say, the public girls' bath or the girls' changing room is the place where the teenage boys dream to enter, then the girls' academy is the ideal sanctuary for the human and male creatures, between twenty and thirty years old.

It is easy to understand, because with increasing age without stopping growing, the degree of metamorphosis of creatures called "men" also keeps increasing.

Young and naive teenagers, young boys just wish to have a gentle superpower as harmless as invisibility, so they can gallantly enter the women's bath, enter the holy land without normally only dared to sneak a glance when passing by. There they will learn, increase their knowledge, there…

But when they grow up, the beautiful innocent dream of the past also begins to degenerate, people will no longer be satisfied with the simple innocuous superpower of that year, the children of the past have become As a man begins to imagine things that are higher and more vibrating. For example, being the only male in an academy full of beautiful girls, at an age full of youth, full of life, with intense curiosity about the gender of puberty … then whether I am a student or a teacher, a principal or just a security guard… it doesn't matter, the essence doesn't change… It will no longer be an innocent dream about superpowers, or the innocent and innocent heroic dream, or the yearning for a handshake, a hug, a kiss on the lips of the most beautiful princess in the class... instead, there is a larger, sublime ideal, that is to sow seeds of hope, sowing seeds of life into all the cute girls in the academy.

Therefore, in order to smash all those ridiculous perverted fantasies, right from the start, Anne Olivia Girls Academy has put safety first. Just looking at the location of the school, you can also see the enthusiasm of the founder, located in the downtown area of Clara Darcy - the largest city in Kerrin Lenore province, famous for peace and prosperity, leading in the seven provinces of the empire. Raven regime. The eastern neighbor is the imperial policing department, the western neighbor is the large church of the Samara church, two organizations that love to poke their noses into the world's largest community in the same place is already a threat. can be taken lightly. The Academy also spared no expense to ensure internal security, hired demobilized soldiers, hired mercenary magicians, and spent a huge amount of money to order a complete set of security, monitoring and warning systems from the Union. the nation of Jerra… it could also be because of the headmaster's personal habits that the school was equipped with a dense defense system that resembled a wartime fortress.

So much so that the perverts in the city of Clara Darcy said that, except for disguised as a girl, there is no other way to break in...

“…The defense is so strict, you can't even enter without a certain level of skill.”

Stepping out of the holy place that every pervert in the city dreams of, after a stroll like passing through an empty place, conveniently doing a few trivial things that are not worth mentioning, the young man couldn't help but empathetic sigh.

The suspicious person who casually walked through the barrier barrier, while clicking his tongue to assess the defense system of the Anne Olivia girls' academy, is our main character - the one named Vespera Amelia.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man staggered past Vespera, his face full of worry, every line of his contorted face showing the great pain and suffering he was enduring. , the man was constantly glancing at the sides of the road, seemingly searching for something very important.

Vespera suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder: "Wait, man."

The other man turned his head, but didn't say anything, but the wide eyes were both sad, painful and angry, clearly showing the meaning: "Let go of the hand!", unfortunately Vespera did not pay attention, He said coldly: "The sweat was pouring out of his face, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to hide it, from the look on his face that I have observed, combined with the sound of rapid and intermittent breathing, the heart beating fast, especially is the movement of walking while trying to squeeze the muscles in the back and lower half, causing the whole body to contort… have diarrhea right? Eating expired seafood? Are you looking for the restroom?"

Pausing for a second, looking at the other man's surprised face that widened his eyes, Vespera gently continued: "Go straight forward fifty-four meters there is a rather large restaurant, but I suggest you should not go there, because that restaurant is also quite famous, business is thriving, customers are very crowded, but the owner of the restaurant is stingy, building a very small latrine, only two seats, there is always someone waiting. it's turn. Large toilets around this area… let me think about it… Yes, it's best to turn around and go straight for thirty meters to an intersection, turn left there and then continue twenty meters to the park. Park, right next to the park there is a fairly large public restroom, there should be space."

Looking at the other's confused expression mixed with all kinds of complicated emotions, the latrine expert smiled gently: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, don't rush, it's not as bad as you think, focus. spiritually, don't move too hard, go fast, you'll definitely make it in time."

“......!”

In that moment, there seemed to be hot male tears welling up in the eye sockets.

People in the most desperate moment will be grateful to those who have generously reached out to help them many times more than usual.

Although I don't know why this good friend who has never met, just by looking at him, he knows he has diarrhea, he also knows the reason why he has diarrhea, and at the same time knows like the palm of his hand the location of feces. both the description and characteristics of the toilet system in Clara Darcy, thereby pointing the right direction to those in need… but the poor man agrees to believe that this is a miracle of fate, a thread fate leads the way, is the goddess of luck who has loved and been merciful, so she brought that good person to the right place when she needed it most, so that he appeared in front of her and saved herself. me.

Suppressing the throbbing pain in his stomach, he said tremblingly, “You…are you the Angel?”

"No! He's the devil, the devil, the pervert madman!"

If anyone who knew Vespera was here, they would have shouted like that.

The man, carrying with him an increasingly severe diarrhea, stepped onto the path of his own salvation, filled with gratitude. Watching that crooked figure gradually drift away, Vespera nodded in satisfaction, then did not turn his head, but spoke behind him.

"It's been a while, say whatever you want, Zelda."

The space behind Vespera stirred with ripples, and from there came a beautiful woman dressed in a pale purple magician's robe studded with glittering gems, long silver hair tied back in a ponytail. back. The young face that carried no trace of time was frowning, the deep blue eyes full of wisdom hidden behind the glasses had lost their usual calm, replaced by a bit of confusion. confusion, a little joy, and a lot of bewilderment.

"Long time no see, you're still the same, Zelda"

“You are the same as before, His Highness the Dark King.” The sorceress bowed respectfully.

In response, appearing before Zelda's eyes… was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Killing, killing intent filled the sky, overflowing, the world in Zelda's eyes turned gray and white, like death spreading its wings of darkness to cover the whole world, like hell suddenly appearing in the world. , I don't know how many lives he has killed to accumulate such a terrifying killing intent.

It wasn't until cold sweat soaked the back of her shirt that the Sorceress heard a sigh: "I… don't want to hear that name anymore."

After a long time, but maybe only after a few minutes, Vespera's voice sounded again, petty, jokingly: "Laugh, beautiful, long time no see, why be so moody? Remember me right? Remember me right? Remember me?"

That joking voice brought Zelda to his senses, because… once Vespera started joking around, he would have no shame, he would go make the toilet explode.

“This guy gathered that kind of intelligence… Could he be…”

Zelda's cold, emotionless voice sounded from behind Vespera.

“… Sir… Do you… intend to destroy both the soul and sanctity of this Clara Darcy?”

“What are you talking about,” Vespera waved his sleeve across his shoulder, clasped his hands behind his back, his face slightly tilted to the sky, looking into the distance, sighing bitterly, “I am not. terrorist elements.”

“Then why did you just enter the city last night, but early this morning, you have already gathered all the intelligence on the city's toilet?! What the hell are you doing all night gathering that damn intelligence?! It's scary, you know that?!” Zelda pointed directly at Vespera's nose, shouting, "Are you going to bury all the glory and fame of Clara Darcy again? Are you going to paint the whole city in waste color again?! Like the old days…”

"I do have it!" Vespera snorted, her eyes straight and steady, her voice cold and resolute, not looking like she was lying, the Sorceress did not have time to calm down, heard him continue, "This trifling news I It only took two hours to grasp it all, it took all night…”

Zelda almost hissed: “What have you done?!!!”

“Of course, arrange for yourself a reasonable identity to infiltrate this academy.” Vespera sneered, smugly said, "I, Vespera Amelia, am now a great grower, a teacher..."

“…you? Being a professor?” Zelda was shocked, “Teach what!?”

The terrorist smiled arrogantly: "Ethics, etiquette, humanistic thought and compassionate spirit."

Vespera Amelia, an asshole with a penchant for blowing up toilets, a lustful thief with a head full of vile, vile thoughts, a villain with shameless malice, a man The madman had harassed the entire Northern battlefield front to the point of landslides, spreading malicious ideas, spreading depraved cultural products and polluting dozens of military officers.

Want to disguise yourself as a professor, enter an all-girls academy with a glorious history and long tradition, and teach a bunch of beautiful, pure, flawless, well-known teenage girls. What is morality, what is humanistic thought, what is compassion.

Like a hungry wolf teaching a bunch of lambs the nutritional value of vegetarian food.

Again, like a group of green eyes, pointed nose, armed to the teeth, hands soaked in fresh blood, full of bombs and weapons, to teach a bunch of barefoot peasants. which is peace.

Zelda suddenly froze, then cut the nail to cut the iron and denied: "Not true! This academy is an all-girls academy, all of them are aristocrats, the rules are both complicated and complicated, and the female teachers' testing is extremely strict, let alone male teachers. Not only must be nominated by a reputable teacher in the school, but also have a clean resume, pass a professional exam… Most importantly… our principal has never approved to accept a male teacher. worked for half a year. Say, what evil scheme did you use in the end? Who's the killer?"

“What is so hard to say? What's the plot of the devil? Kill what?" Vespera snorted again, “To put it simply, there was a professor at the Anne Olivia Academy who had a sudden accident, the accident left him so severely damaged both mentally and physically that he couldn't get up. class. Coincidentally, before that, he discovered a talent that was both smart, brave, honest, gentle, and liked to help others, so he recommended it to the academy. Just in time, Dean Zelda passed by, witnessed both the honesty and outstanding talent of the other, and decided to give him special approval to let him in as a substitute professor.

Turning his head to look at Zelda, Vespera smiled, "Tell me, isn't that so, Abbot?"

“Wait…” Looking at that bright cheerful smile, Zelda trembled, “That person who just passed is…”

"Ethics professor, high school grade 1A teacher, Mr. Snape..."

In the distance that Vespera had been watching until now, a series of continuous explosions rang out, a column of yellow-brown matter shot up into the sky along with the pitiful screams of a poor man's spine. there.

==========

“The scene of the funny and rare accident in Clara Darcy city, the public toilet suddenly exploded, the only poor victim was a teacher of Anne Olivia's girls' academy. Director Zelda Oighear personally went to the scene to examine, treat and comfort the victim, and at the same time expressed deep concern about the quality of public works in the city of Clara Darcy…”

What is written in the press is always just the tip of the iceberg.

Former general of the Northern Front, a hero returning from the old Apocalypse war, now the president of Anne Olivia's all-girls academy, headmaster Zelda was dumbfounded by the ongoing tragedy.

Vibration, intense vibration, the whole area was covered with a uniform yellow-brown color, like a stern warning, that if the abbot did not yield, today's scene would repeat again. throughout Clara Darcy, of course not even Anne Olivia Academy could escape.

The cloak had no wind but automatically flew and danced, Zelda erected a spherical mana barrier around her body to prevent odors, and at the same time used flight magic, hovering at a super low altitude, only a few feet away. half hand on the ground, carefully entering the disaster scene.

Don't be careful, who knows how many traps that bastard Vespera has planted here? As a former subordinate of Vespera in the northern battlefield, Zelda knew all too well the corrupt personality of the famous and famous Dark King, his personality was clearly reflected in the way he controlled his troops during the war. competitive, sinister, ruthless, defiant, and most importantly, extremely lacking in the so-called "decency".

Closing her eyes, expanding her spiritual sense, feeling the residual magic power left at the scene, Zelda's mind quickly replayed the scene that took place at that time.

The public restrooms are fitted with a complex system of explosives, accompanied by an ingenious hypnotic suggestion, that scares away anyone who tries to get close, except for one: Professor Snape.

In that poor man's body, there was a small magic invented by Vespera himself, improved from the spirit-type magic that was used to kill, the first effect was to cause stomach pain. intense flow, secondly acting as a "passport" allowing him to enter the latrine unaffected by hint magic, and finally "detonating", as soon as the elimination process begins First, the explosive system will be activated, the entire toilet will explode.

In other words, the poor old teacher was shot into the sky the moment he felt his life was saved.

“Falling at the gates of heaven… in this familiar style… Absolutely no harm to the innocent, you are still the same…”

Finally, the sorceress sighed, and whispered in a low voice: “Why? Your Highness… what happened in the past…”

In the legend, the girls' academy is the place where the purest, innocent first feelings between the innocent and shy girls bloom.

In the legend, the sorority academy is the last fantasy mecca for every man, “Wait until the day we rule Clara Darcy, give each of you a schoolgirl!” was the catchphrase for the paranoid defeated perverts to brag and comfort each other.

In the legend, that paradise garden nurtures cute little girls who don't know sadness, there are excellent students from poor families who often work part-time outside of school hours, and there are arrogant and naive noble ladies. pure and never experienced life, there is a princess hiding her identity to enjoy a quiet school life... long black hair, short blonde hair, straight white hair, pink wavy hair... each person has a history, each person with a personality, waiting for you to conquer…

Today, Vespera Amelia's dream is shattered, in return, he grasps a truth: As long as a student, he will definitely be oppressed by the so-called education, and where there is oppression, there is struggle, there is resistance.

The large classroom was filled with noise and chatter, the stern old teacher had to rest, and instead was a student who did not have much of a threat, making the students feel like they were in a cage. In a place like the Anne Olivia Girls Academy, a young male creature like Vespera was always a rare resource, the girls were whispering, evaluating the substitute professor from head to toe, Comments from the hair sticking out from the front of the forehead to the corner of the eye has a hint of immense sadness, even a few brave girls dare to wink and smile charmingly, do some flirtatious movements to seduce the teacher, absolutely not See what a young teacher is.

Vespera shouted “Quiet!” three times seven times, but no one paid any attention to his words.

It's very difficult for the old-fashioned teacher to have a busy job and can't go to class, instead, a substitute teacher looks like a student as if he hasn't experienced much of life, of course, the sly students have to seize the opportunity. take action first, suppressing the morale of the substitute teacher from the very beginning, so that he knows which side will take the lead here... unfortunately the girls have chosen the wrong object, the violent element in the Even if the whole school gathered together, it would not be better than this young substitute professor.

A sudden explosion made everyone startle, looking around the classroom had become completely silent, Vespera casually flicked his toes, kicked the remaining wood chips from the chair into the corner of the classroom: "Who else is there? If you don't listen, I will punish him to eat all the cucumbers in his own bag."

Thinking for a moment, the young teacher added: "I know, not everyone is on the side of cucumbers, some people like to use carrots, radishes, or eggplants, some people like sausages, that's okay, It's all right, something to eat. If you don't bring anything today, I invite you to eat fresh, rich meat!"

The classroom suddenly fell into deadly silence.

Some young girls blinked in confusion, some girls with surprised faces began to rummage through their bags, and more and more young girls quickly turned red, their eyes looked back. The young teacher's side taught as if looking at a monster.

Vespera looked down from above, gathered everyone's expressions into his eyes, nodded: "Hmm, as expected, over 70% of the listeners understood. You guys are really good, knowledgeable, wide knowledge.”

Deciding to use this time to forge iron while it was still hot, and suppressed all the girls, Vespera pulled out a document from his pocket and flipped it over: “Today's lesson is morality… Ha! ” rolled up the document into a tube shape and smashed it into the palm of his hand, Vespera beamed with laughter, “Professor Snape is also careful, has prepared detailed lesson plans for the rest of the semester, whoever teaches in his stead Just imitating a parrot is more than enough to complete the lesson.”

The lesson plan in the teacher's hand instead slowly disintegrated into ashes, like being cut by countless invisible blades, Vespera bent his hand and snapped his index finger, sending the scrap of paper stuck in between his fingernails out. looked at the silent students in amazement, grinned: "Unfortunately, the content of the lecture is rotten, all of them are clichés, deceiving people, you are usually taught things by Professor Snape every day. this trash? What the hell is he doing here? When you're old, your blood flow to your brain is slow, if you're stupid, then retire, come home and hug your grandson, and retire from your career while still at the top of glory?

The female students simultaneously shouted, listening to Vespera insulting her teacher like that, many girls showed displeasure on their faces, racing to protest loudly and jarringly. The substitute professor smiled coldly, reached out, and scraped his fingernails into the glass door to make a creepy screeching sound, piercing the eardrum, causing the female students to lower their heads and cover their ears. .

"The ladies here are all children of a noble family, with high-ranking parents, and passed the entrance exam to Anne Olivia Academy..." Vespera swept her eyes around the class, raising her cold voice "... Just thought that I was more talented than people? Hearing me scold my old teacher, so you feel I'm not right? Want to appeal? Want to defend? Want justice? Knowing how to respect teachers, feel that teachers need to be respected? But what were you doing before that?!”

Leaning forward with his hands on the table, leaning forward, looking down at the students from above with an oppressive posture, Vespera swept his eyes around the room, coldly said: "I don't care about the future. This the game will become. Some people will probably only become chess pieces, the only effect is to marry into the family to strengthen the family's influence. Perhaps someone will become a scholar, artist, politician, or even have the ability to step onto the political stage thanks to the family's backing, and become a famous figure in history... It all has nothing to do with me, but if I have become your professor for the time being, then I will use my own method to re-educate you… Rest assured, time is long, Our game has only just begun.”

While showing a smile that made people suddenly shudder, Vespera pulled out another document from nowhere: "Come on, my lovely students, next we will get to know each other a little, shall we? ! By the way, I feel like our teachers and students get along quite well, because from the very first time we met, we were able to share the same thought…that is: We must teach a fool. I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, a lesson to remember for a lifetime."

“This is a test you just did two days ago. Professor Snape had a sudden accident and didn't have time to grade, so I'll grade instead." Vespera picked up a test paper, “Megan Iopaz!”

The girl with chestnut brown hair smiled and stood up, her long hair bobbing in waves under the sun as if it was shining, her tall and slender figure walked gently and gracefully to the podium. Perfectly beautiful from the smile to the way of walking, the girl certainly received the most complete aristocratic education, without a single flaw to be scrutinized.

Of course, receiving a smile, Vespera also gave her student a warm smile: "Congratulations, no points!"

The smile of the young girl froze on her face, followed immediately by a storm of criticism and discipline: "The topic is "comment on the moral values and human spirit expressed in the current thought movement. onion", his mother, she went to flatter the emperor? Fuck it again?! Just look at her smile, you can tell at a glance that it's a noble family, family tradition is flattery. Zero! This bunch of flatteries wait until you stand in front of the old emperor before singing, that's if you get the chance in this life or this life. The most redundant in the whole empire are those who want to flatter the emperor's ass, lining up from the east coast to the western desert still doesn't have enough space."

Poor Lady Megan, staggered like a sleepwalker, returned to her seat, her face bewildered as if she had not yet recovered from the shock of shock that came so suddenly.

    The crimson sun peeked from beyond its resting place to illuminate, nothing... Nothing that held any value these days. Jared often wandered the streets of what used to be New York City, but only scavengers and mutated creatures roamed its streets. He stood on top of a rusted slag of metal that used to be the Statue of Liberty, or at least one version rebuilt over the years. Now, it was a melted heap of rusted iron; similar to most structures in the city. Somewhere around the year 2,500, 500 years ago, World War IV rendered most of the world an inhospitable wasteland. Only one in ten people survived in the aftermath. Before the fallout, wealthy billionaires created floating islands in the ocean that allowed people to survive. The remainder of the population were considered acceptable losses. Not everyone outside the islands died, but many of them wished they had. Pockets of survivors remained and even lived a comfortable life, but it wasn't until ten years ago that anyone

    "Jared, wake up!""Dad? Hello?""Jared, you better get out of bed before I finish breakfast. We have a lot to do today and you need to earn your place at the table.""Why do I hear my dad's voice?" Jared thought. His dad was dead. He died three years ago when a mutated bear raided the farm. Jared struggled against the pain in his head and tried to pry his eyes open. It was as though cement glued his eyes together. They weighed a ton, and he continued to struggle."Leave him alone John, he's only five. He's not even of official age to work.""Mom!"Jared's eyes snapped open, or at least he thought they opened. He looked around and all was black. A suffocating blackness enveloped him. He tried to move his body, but nothing responded. He could look around, but there was nothing to see."Where am I?"Jared turned in a circle and noted a small pinprick of light in the distance grow larger. He tried to walk forward, but again his body betrayed him. As the light grew brighter, he looked down

    I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die...Slowly, arms raised, Jared turned around. He expected to see an angry maw filled with razor sharp death descending toward him; Scarlet's promise not withstanding. Instead, all he saw were massive tree-trunk legs covered in blood-red scales.Jared swallowed hard and craned his neck up... Dang...Unprepared for the visage before him, Jared stood in shock. The dragon loomed imposing, magnificent, terrifying, and fantastical. He blinked a few times and felt like this was just a dream. How could such a creature exist in secrecy? Jared knew the answer from Scarlet's explanation of dragon's history, but it all seemed unbelievable that something so incredible stayed hidden for so long.The queen of fire dragons stood one hundred meters tall on her hind legs and had a wingspan that required Tristen to crane his head as far left and right as possible. Her scales, the color of fresh spilt blood, covered every inch of her body. Her underbelly appeared less armored.

    Jared ripped off his shirt, "Oh yea!" The nanites altered his body significantly. Where before he stood just over six feet tall, he now stood at six and a half feet. His arms and legs rippled with muscle and... I have a six-pack...Jared whipped his head around as he heard a huffing noise from Scarlet. She stared right at him as he admired his body. His face burned with embarrassment and he put his shirt back on.His body inspected, he quickly realized new clothes were in order. The current ones were much too small and tight now and he wouldn't get very far hiking in them. He had a couple extra shirts and a pair of light wind pants, but they didn't have much protection from the environment. The chances of finding new clothes were rare. After two years exploring, he'd only come across a few items that even resembled clothes. Time, environment, and other explorers stripped anything of value."Scarlet, we have got to do that again! It's amazing!" Jared continued to marvel at the physical

    "Scarlet move!" Jared screamed as he dove to the side, barely escaping the overgrown mountain of fur. Glancing behind him in mid-flight, he saw Scarlet narrowly avoided injury. He hit the ground with a crunch of bone. Not his bone, but a pile of bones and flesh in various stages of decomposition. The bones snapped under him and he felt a sharp jab into his shoulder as a shard of bone broke and embedded itself into his flesh.Jared rotated his arm, and the bone caught between his shoulder blade and rotator cuff. Rather than delay the inevitable, he reached behind him and ripped out the bone before he could second guess himself."AAAGGHHHH!" He felt blood trickle down his back, but he could move his arm and that was more important right now.SCARLET, WE NEED TO AVOID THIS THING WHILE I SHOOT FROM A DISTANCE. I DON'T THINK EITHER OF US WILL SURVIVE IN A PHYSICAL CONFRONTATION WITH THIS THING.Scarlet acknowledged his mental communications and darted around the room staying just ahead of

    Activating his heat sight, Jared looked around for any signs of life. Thankfully, he saw nothing to pose an immediate threat save for a couple normal sized rats.Ignoring them, Jared started a thorough exploration of the large room before heading to the doors in the back. Judging from their location and the nature of this building, they led into a small hill at the back of the building."Scarlet, I'm heading down. Stay here and let me know if you need me."Cracking the door, slowly this time, Jared made sure he didn't cause the door to scream like last time. He had no desire to awaken another horde of rats. The hinges resisted at first, but with a sharp tug and a whispered grinding, they gave way and the door swung open.Not seeing any heat signatures, Jared started down the stairs. They descended at least three or four stories into the hillside. The structural integrity of the building was solid, and he made his way down with little effort. He kept the heat sight on while exploring s

    Jared looked at Scarlet and shook his head causing gobs of rabbit fur and guts to splatter on the ground. "Okay, you win! I won't tease you about the dang rabbits anymore." Jared stripped his nasty garments off and scrubbed them using the sand nearby. Water was a scarce commodity, so he often resorted to scrubbing his skin and clothes with sand. It sucked, and he always felt chaffing after, but it was better than walking around with blood and guts all over.When it rained, he tried to stay under cover and only expose himself for short periods of time. The rain was often acidic and caustic, which quickly degraded his clothes and gear and often left abrasions or rashes all over. He once got the rain in his eyes and it felt like exposing alcohol to an open wound. His eyes puckered and burned from the acid. It took almost an entire day before he opened his eyes without the stabbing pain.One of the great side-effects of nanites coursing through his body was they eventually consumed any re

    . This boss fight would test him. Worse case, I can just use my pistol and reduce the thing to a charred mass of rabbit meat. That might even be tasty... It'd been a long time since he had any non-artificial food."All right, you long-haired, buck-toothed, floppy-eared hairball, let's go!" Almost like a taunt in an actual video game, the creature reacted by leaping into the air at him. Jared had a little fun and jumped in place, rotating his body parallel with the ground while he brought his leg back to deliver a side-kick. He connected with the rabbit and sent it sailing away from him.Surprising Jared, it contorted in mid-air and landed on its feet only to jump right back toward him.Hm... How am I supposed to hurt this thing with all that fur around it? The dense coat of fur acted as an impact barrier, softening his blows to the point the rabbit barely felt it. The only vulnerable parts on it were its face and feet, neither of which he wanted to get close to. He still felt the impa

    Moving! Jared set out toward the other explorer's. Let me know when I get within two miles. I don't want to be any closer than that especially when we are walking across these wide open areas.It looks like you were right. They are by-passing the city and heading south.Jared kept a steady pace for hours, following the group. He heard Scarlet flapping as she came in for a landing next to him, raising another cloud of dust.I need to rest for a while. They are in a wide stretch of open ground. It will not be hard for me to pick up the trail."So, flying? Judging by the emotions I'm getting from you, it must be awesome."It... I... It is hard to put into words."How long do you think it will be before you can carry me? Or... can you even carry me? I guess I assumed you would be able to after you got stronger."I could likely carry you now, but I could not fly long or far with the added weight. Perhaps after we assign the nanites I have available."Oh right! Dang, I'm sorry Scarlet. I go

    Jared walked back to the entrance and sat on the slab of concrete he used for a door. He waited for nearly an hour before he heard a slight rustle and looked up to see a figure crouched on the roof of the structure. Looking at the person he said, "Hello, my name is Jared." Dude, that's cheesy. Why couldn't you say something about explorers or something... Jared chided himself when the person refused to speak.Crouched as they were and wearing a balaclava he couldn't tell if it was a skinny man, woman, or child. "Do you speak English?" Still no reaction. "All right, suit yourself. I'm going inside before it gets dark." He rose and walked into the room while the strange person stared at him. The fact they hadn't drawn a weapon spoke to their intentions, but he didn't know why they wouldn't speak. Jared made his way to his makeshift bed and sat, facing the door. Another half an hour passed until he glanced up to see the person enter in a crouch.As soon as the person passed the threshold

    the sun beat upon them. Her wingspan was twice that of her length. Scarlet spent several minutes flapping her wings and stretching them to their limits.Without warning, she bunched her legs and thrust into the air with a massive beat of her wings. The surrounding dust swirled and created small cyclones of dust. At first, she hovered in place bobbing up and down. Then, the speed of her wings picked up, and she steadily rose into the air.YES! Scarlet cried out in joy.Jared imagined the exhilaration and feeling of the wind whipping around her. He couldn't wait until she could bear the weight of them both. He wasn't afraid of heights, at least he didn't think so. There wasn't a lot of tall structures left standing, but when he found them he had no trouble scaling them to the top.Jared watched her rise higher into the sky before she tucked in her wings, straightened her tail and thrust forward. She shot through the air for hundreds of yards and then flared her wings to stop in midair w

    JARED, NO!Jared recoiled, dropping the booster in his hand. He and Iliana both fumbled for the syringe, but it clattered to the floor and wedged itself into a crack on the floor. Jared whirled on Scarlet, what was that for?Jared, you may have felt some of her emotions, but you only experienced her reaction to some life events. She is deliberately trying to hide something from us. I don't know what it is, but I felt the emotions more strongly than the rest.Jared turned back around and watched Iliana try to extract the syringe from the crevice. Without her noticing, Jared withdrew his Colt and leveled the weapon at her."Iliana...," he deadpanned, all emotion drained from his demeanor and voice.She glanced up to see the muzzle of the gun pointed at her head and stumbled back on her rear."Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?""Scarlet says you are hiding something. While I believe your emotions are true from the things you saw in the vision, my companion pointed out she is much better at

    "Scarlet move!" Jared screamed as he dove to the side, barely escaping the overgrown mountain of fur. Glancing behind him in mid-flight, he saw Scarlet narrowly avoided injury. He hit the ground with a crunch of bone. Not his bone, but a pile of bones and flesh in various stages of decomposition. The bones snapped under him and he felt a sharp jab into his shoulder as a shard of bone broke and embedded itself into his flesh.Jared rotated his arm, and the bone caught between his shoulder blade and rotator cuff. Rather than delay the inevitable, he reached behind him and ripped out the bone before he could second guess himself."AAAGGHHHH!" He felt blood trickle down his back, but he could move his arm and that was more important right now.SCARLET, WE NEED TO AVOID THIS THING WHILE I SHOOT FROM A DISTANCE. I DON'T THINK EITHER OF US WILL SURVIVE IN A PHYSICAL CONFRONTATION WITH THIS THING.Scarlet acknowledged his mental communications and darted around the room staying just ahead of

    Jared ripped off his shirt, "Oh yea!" The nanites altered his body significantly. Where before he stood just over six feet tall, he now stood at six and a half feet. His arms and legs rippled with muscle and... I have a six-pack...Jared whipped his head around as he heard a huffing noise from Scarlet. She stared right at him as he admired his body. His face burned with embarrassment and he put his shirt back on.His body inspected, he quickly realized new clothes were in order. The current ones were much too small and tight now and he wouldn't get very far hiking in them. He had a couple extra shirts and a pair of light wind pants, but they didn't have much protection from the environment. The chances of finding new clothes were rare. After two years exploring, he'd only come across a few items that even resembled clothes. Time, environment, and other explorers stripped anything of value."Scarlet, we have got to do that again! It's amazing!" Jared continued to marvel at the physical
