The firsts of the slayers of demons
"The guy that attacked me, he called me a seer."
That was what Cassie told me as soon as we were seated. Apparently, she took me to some fancy coffee shop and judging from how casual the crews used to treat her, I could see that she was a regular customer. On top of that, she also even paid for the drinks for the two of us. Talking about being generous!
Anyway, just like what I initially expected, the other party indeed ended up getting harassed by one of the demon skins. Most likely than not, they already caught wind of the news regarding her ability. That was why they were after her now because they did not want someone with a talent like her to join our force.
But, of course, I won't let them have it their way. I will make sure that Cassie would secure a spot on my team and the only thing that those guys would get was getting killed for crossing me. After all, they would not be just dealing with any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
It was I, Jared, the firsts of the slayers of demons!
Other than being locked out from the gates of the Upper Realm none of my plans yet has not come to fruition. Every single one of them was a complete success. It was for that same reason why I am also confident that I could rope Cassie into this business of killing demons, without exactly asking her directly to come and join me in my quest of erasing all the creatures of the dark that was lurking the face of the Earth.
I want her to come to us on her own accord. Likewise, at this moment, I know that we were just about to reach that point. But I pretended like it was nothing and to make myself appear like I was unbothered by what I just heard from her, I deliberately picked my ear while answering her.
"It is how the pricks used to call some of us, though, in my opinion, that name is nothing but lame. I mean, they can at least call us a demon hunter, or demon slayer, something of that sort."
I told her with a snigger and I watched how her eyes almost went heavenward when she heard me. But at the same time, I also saw how hard she tried her best to stop herself from rolling those eyes.
Test
I smiled at the thought of teasing her. I know that this was not the right time to get distracted. But I just could not help it.
At the same time, I also noticed that she put her hands on her lap purposely. She clenched those tiny little hands of hers under the table as if I would not know better than the fact that her hands were currently balled into a fist.
From the current looks of it, it would not be surprising to me anymore if she would admit that it was taking all of her patience just to seat at the same table with me. Something that I would definitely understand since not only I am acting like a douche in front of her, but I also happen to be the same person who stole a kiss from her.
However, rather than getting an apology from me, the sudden turn of events forced her to act subservient in front of me instead.
But don't get me wrong. I am doing all of this for a good reason. Let us just say that I am testing her right now. I wanted to see how she would react in these kinds of situations.
Would she let her emotion cloud her rationality and take the better half of her?
I wanted to see for myself if she was really fit to become one of the demon slayers. After all, it would do my reputation no good if someone I recommend suddenly ended up dying before she could even contribute something noteworthy to the team.
Besides, the last thing that I would want to happen was for my conscience to trouble me if ever she indeed received her premature death as soon as I was able to trick her to be one of us.
I was not being a pessimist here, I was only doing a reality check because, in this field, the closest thing that anyone could expect was death. It was either you kill, or you end up getting killed.
