Chapter 4: First Kill

Leaving the classroom I closed the door with a little bit of force, waking up the sleeping students, "Oh my hand slipped. . .Oops" I said innerly laughing in my head.

. . . . .

Leaving the collage building we left to ShadowFall High, which took around half an hour to get to from there, but while we walked we mostly talked and I saw that she is becoming less nervous and more comfortable with me.

I'm still surprised she likes me?

It's still surprising to know about it.

But while we were walkin I found many things out about her, and it started making a little bit of sense, like we've been going to the same schools apparently since grade school, and it seems as if we have many things in common with eachother which I found nice.

Likes and dislikes, hobbies and other things.

Anita likes art but doesn't know how to go about doing it, I offered to make her something and with that she had agreed while getting all excited about it and asked for something which I thought was a bit interesting.

Either way, I took the request.

And we continued to chat till we got to Jenny's school.

. . . . .

Getting to the gates of the school, I saw Jennifer waiting by the gates already, "Hey, Jenny!" I said wavin her down and seeing me her face lit up, till she saw who was next to me and then she puffed her cheeks, looking hard.

And I said, "Mia had to work today, so it's just going to be us till she gets back late in the evening" I said but she ran over to us and with a smug face, she said to me.

Saying, "Who's this?. . .Is it your, Girl–Friend~" she said teasing me, and hearing her Anita blushed and looked away and I got flustered by the boldness of her words.

But not saying anything I grabbed her face, and pinched her cheeks, and then saying, "She's just my friend! This's Anita, be nice to her okay!" I said looking over to her.

And seeing her face, I was shocked, she was blushing.

And this pinkish vapor that only I can see came off her.

Pinching Jennifer's cheeks even more for teasing Anita, she then went on to say, "Take care of my brother for me will ya. . .Anita~" and looking even more timid, "I will..."

She said back in a soft voice while the vapor turned pink even more, and hearing her, "Good!" Jennifer said turnin to me, "Okay, we can go now, that's all I had to say!"

She said and pinching her cheeks even more I looked down at the girl, "You're a little pain you know," but she just smiled at me with a smug face before we left.

And when we were on our way home to drop Jenny off, Jennifer walked with her and when I tired joining in cause I was bored and they left me out of it.

She pushed me away talking about this was, "Girl talk" so I just left it alone and backed off, I don't even wanna know, but from how it seemed, it wasn't a bad talk.

* * *

Getting back to our house, "I'm going to be cook tonight" I told Jennifer as she went onto the yard, "Okay, but it better not be too spicy again!" she said running off.

But then she turned around as she got to the door, "Oh yeah, is your friend staying over for dinner? Can she?"

But lookin at her she bowed lightly, "Sorry, I can't, maybe next time, I still have to finish my assignment for the week, I haven't started it yet and I'd like to now"

She said with a sheepish smile like she was thankful for the offer but now it sounds like she can't afford to. And so seeing as that's the case I just went on to say.

"If you need any help with it just let me know, I've already finished it and turned it in to the professor," I casually said and looking up at me she was dumbfounded.

And looking at me with a face full of confusion, "How?! It's only been two days since they sent it to us, and it's like a 20 page assignment at that!" she yelled out.

But I'm confused? How is she not finished with it?

I take that back, why is she just so surprised?

But then we heard Jenny sigh deeply, "Yeah, he's. . . He's always been like this. . .*Cough-Cough* sadly" she said but why'd she say it like that, "He has no break on it"

And looking at me with a face full of disgust for me just doing my work, I looked back at her confused but then heard as Anita started speaking next to me. Saying, "I'll take you up on your offer, but is it okay if you come over tomorrow, I hope I'm not being too much trouble???"

'If he sees my place like it is now I'll die from embarrassment' she put her hands together.

Looking at her, "Sure, but only if you don't sleep in class again, or I may just reconsider it" I teased by that silly look on her face, and she smiled, and said, "Okay"

But then from the side, "Looks like someone's making a move~" Jenny winked over to Anita and she got flushed but I didn't know who she was talking to exactly?

We left not long after and Jenny looked disappointed to see me go? I don't get her that well, but from how it looked, maybe she wanted to come with us too?

*In reality, Jennifer just wasn't ready to let her big bro go yet, but still, she was wishing Anita best of luck for him*

. . . . .

Walking with her it was a little awkward and dead silent so I just had to go ahead and make conversation, "Have you started the assignment yet, if not, then just wait for me and we'll do it together, how does that sound?"

I said asking her, and hearing me her face became brighter and she smiled softly, "I haven't started, so I'll be waiting for you," she said sincerely, and it was sweet.

*But then she looked away, thinking about what she would do if he didn't offer to help her, because she knew full well that she had no plans on doing that work*

Walking her home, we partied ways, but I didn't go home just yet, I need to get some things from the market for dinner, I need to find some new spices to use.

. . . .

But after walking close to the area, something smelled bazaar, the air was heavy and I smelled this ironish like scent?. . .no, I knew the smell. . .This was blood.

And as soon as I noticed it I rushed towards it without even thinking, heading towards were it was coming from and going into some alleyway, to turn a few times in it.

The scent got stronger, I was close now.

Turning one last corner I popped into the open to see a humanoid figure with a bracey tail an broken horns on the floor over a tiny pool of light red blood. . .Shit.

And standing above it was a large humanoid goatman with glowing red eyes and his hand up about to finish whatever the fuck it had started on this humanoid.

And as I saw that I instantly reacted by kicking the floor and dashing at the goat man, darkness erupted from out of my body and spread around my arms, forming two dark blade whips that were attached to my body.

Hearing my move, the goat man turned his head, looking at me menacingly, but then this unknown bubblin inside me started building up and I wanted to rip it's heart out.

Swinging my hand the line of the whip came around and as he jumped to his side dodging it, I still had another one and so I did the same with it, swinging it at him.

This time this one impaled him in the lower part of the chest, piercing right through his large goated body.

"GROAHHHHH!!!" the large goat man roared viciously.

Slop and blood came dripping down from it's mouth and it tried grabbing and pulling my darkness out, but nothin helped nor did it affect me when he started hitting it.

All I felt was taps as he hit the line that went straight through him and hit something else keeping him locked in place there, not able to even move a single step.

And all I can feel is the warmth of his insides and blood.

But I had enough of seeing his ugly mug so using the other whip blade I pulled it back and swung it again, impaling the upper part of his chest killing him.

Mainly because I felt his heart tear through.

But to make sure it was dead, I hit my arms up and down and slammed the man to the ground, smashing him into the ground and cracking the stoned floor.

After a bundle of system notifications appeared from da system screen panel, suddenly a sharp pain stabbed my head and I felt a pang in my mind and all of my muscles while my body started tearing and healing itself and then rebuilding itself in all the same instant.

. . . . .

After an incredible amount of pain, the darkness started to return to the inside of my body and after collapsing on the floor I pushed up and heard groaning.

Looking off to the side there was still that man on the floor dying, pushing myself up, I felt no pain so I went over to the bleeding victim of that goat creature.

Is he going to survive, "Oh no, he saw me" he saw it all?

Should I just finish him to make the sufferin go away, no he'll live if I get him medical attention and I can just ask him to keep the all of this a secret. . .Yeah, that'll have to do! After all, I can't leave him to die or just kill him here!

Going to his side, "Hey, you alright?!" I said but no that's dumb it's clear he's not okay?! Wait, I have somethin for these types of situations now!, [Inspect] let's check him.

[ Name: ??? ]

[ Race: Halfling: Demon-Manu ]

[ HP: 12/76 ]

[ MP: 52/52 ]

Oh God he's a still alive! He's also of Demon-kin, I guess my secrets safe then. But as I was checking on him, he sat up, and coughed blood, "Don't worry kid I'm alright, this old Demon still has many years left" he laughed.

"Are you sure? You don't look alright?!"

"Yeah... I just need to go to a hospital to be sure" he said but then in the next instant he passed out, I guess he was playing strong, Demons usually act like this.

Anyways I guess I should help him to one, he looks like he really needs the attention now. Wait did he just stop his wounds from bleeding? I think he's just out now?

Sighing as this Demon knew what he was doing I looked over to the Goated man, an usin inspect I looked at him.

[Name: Chu Chu Ika Pata ]

[ Lvl: 5 ]

[ Race: Garu ]

[ Hp: 0/84 ]

[ Mp: 3/10 ]

"Garu? I guess Rouge Angels and Demons going beserk aren't the only thing we have to worry about?" I said with a sigh and looking at his corpse, if I didn't have my dark magic here I would have been toast, I need to be careful.

"This darkness is supposed to be a last resort. . ." I said.

Because mostly all of my mana is unstable and even my Demonic powers which is harder to keep under control.

Not thinking about it anymore I went to the Garu and breaking off it's horn with a blade made from my dark magic, of darkness to be sure, I collected the born as proof and put it in my backpack, so I can exchange it later at the hunter association and get a clean crew.

The last thing we need is this being discovered by those of da black market, those people disgust me to my core.

Actually, forget the clean crew to take care of this, thank you to my father's friend who got me a disciples hunter card, but I guess can just used THAT skill to clean this.

[ Devour ] the system said my skills name again?

Pointing my hand at the corpse of the garu, a little bullet of darkness shot out out my hand and into the corpse of the Garu and then it was set on fire by a flame similar to my dark magic, incinerating the corpse in seconds.

The whole monster disintegrated into a black and green fog in which then condensed into a ball and shot itself at me, and into me and I subconsciously absorbed it.

This skill gave me the chills but at the same time, I felt a strong sense of warmth from devouring the monster.

But afterwards, I shook my head as I still needed to get that man to a hospital, so going back over to the Halflin I picked him up and took him to a local clinic, that unlike Humans or Beastkin, these ones didn't discriminate.

Though Angels were another story for them. . .

The Angel race were savage to them at one point. . .

And as soon as they saw me they rushed over, asking me what happened and waving my license and saying that I found him like this, they instantly believed my world's because this license ment a monster was involved in the incident. They didn't ask question.

And after thanking me for bringing him, they took him and left to get that man properly treated, thought it didn't seem like he needed too much done.

The demon race was a resilient race when it came to being hurt and then healing back up quickly. Now when it came down to being sick, that's another case now.

Yet at the same time I hate the demon race, it's an awful race and I hate every last one of them, though, if one is in danger and needs help, I'll still help them then.

*Rin didn't believe in good or evil, they're all just people in his eyes so he treats them all equally no matter the what situations might be, though he has a grudge still*

* * *

Already almost five in the afternoon and I still haven't gotten the ingredients, so after running to a local hub for the association and exchanging the horn an telling them how there was a monster found in northern ShadowFall, they asked about the body but I told them that it's been incinerated by a fire spell. And they gave me some silver coins along with my license back and told me they couldn't wait for my next catch and I left the building.

But what stuck with me when I left was how she asked if I had a VB a virtual bank, I didn't even know those had existed, and she was also like before I left, "Can't wait for your next catch, enjoy the hunt while you can little boy and you'll become a man quickly" I guess she was encouraging me to hunt more, and it kind of did too.

She was pretty cute. I bet people come back with stuff just to see her. You know what I would too actually?

But forget about that, now I'm thinking a little too much, leaving the building and running to the store, I noticed quickly that I've gotten way faster an I can run longer too? I just just have to join the collage track team if I keep this up, sadly I'll still not make it in first place.

But that's not the point, it's was just a random thought.

Going in I payed for the stuff and went home, but while I did and was going home, I think monster hunting might just be a good source of income, shoot I only had about 100 copper coins saved up before I left the house today, and because of today as well, not I have around 587 units worth of coppers, what unimaginable luck?!

If this keeps going we could be rich! But still, maybe this is only going on though because I'mma die soon. Fuck...

. . . . .

Going inside my house and to the kitchen, placing down and preparing some stuff, I saw Jenny glaring at me wit a suspicious look on her face from the corner side.

"What took you so long? lemi guess, you and her were at it weren't you, pervert. . ." she said annoyed, and hearing her I flushed as she didn't have to say it like that!!!

But continuing what I was doing with a slightly red face, I said back to her, "No, I ran into some old friend at the market, and also it's not like that, we aren't dating"

I told her to try and straight this out, here and now.

"Oh, and also, I got these for you" I said, going over and grabbing and throwing a snack I picked out for her.

And catching it, she spoke softly, "I know, but still. . .You belong to us, and only us. . ." and lookin at me she then went on to actually say out loud, for me to hear, "Humph I support you, but don't expect me to like anyone!"

She said pouting and running off?

That girl makes me wonder some days.

What's up with her?

* * *

By the time Mia for him I had just finished fixing dinner and when we sat down and everything was placed, we talked about our day while enjoying the meal, mine wasn't all that interesting I told them, but in truth.

It was very fucking eventual to say the least...

After we finished and I did the dishes we all hung out in the living room watching anime, after an hour and a half of it I saw that Jenny fell asleep and Mia dazed off too.

I guess they had a tiring day, so using Dream Walker, I used it to put Mia to sleep, "I wish you both pleasant dreams," I said with a soft smile before closing mine.
