Persuasion (I)...

A small screen appeared in front of Daichi's eyes as soon as Kemono placed the orb into his hand.

[Skill: Rampage

The Skill allows the user to boost all of their physical Status parameters by 200% in exchange for Mana for 5 minutes. The cost of the Skill will vary depending on the user's Health Status. The lower the user's Health, the lower the cost of the Skill.

Cooldown Time:- 3 days]

Daichi's eyes grew wide in surprise… The Skill was quite OP if the user was smart. Yes, he knew that there was a risk since the user needed to have low health to lower the cost of the Skill, but if the Skill was used in the right situation then the user would be able to change the tide of the battle on their own and 5 minutes was a lot of time when it came to a fight. A lot could happen in a span of 5 minutes.

"Are you sure you want to give me this Skill?" Daichi questioned as he glanced toward his mom from the corner of his eyes. Meanwhile, the said woman was staring at her son with an expectant look in her eyes.

"I already have something like that, and it is cute that you worry about me so much, but you need to remember that your mom isn't helpless" Kemono grinned and ruffled her son's hair. Since his hair was always a mess, he never cared when his mom or if any of his women ruffled his hair. His hair seemed to have a mind of its own.

Kemono had shown her Status Window and Skill Page to Daichi, but she hadn't shown him the effects of her Title. Moments later, the Perks of her Title appeared in front of Daichi's eyes…

[The Undefeated Uncrowned Lioness

Perk 1- Renders mental attacks and mind manipulation useless as you would never bend to anyone's whims, except your son.

Perk 2- Your attacks will become more brutal, precise, and faster if you receive Damage and it will keep increasing with the more Damage you receive.

Perk 3- If your Health reaches below 10% of your overall Health, then you will become invulnerable for a whole minute and your attack stats would be boosted by 300%].

As soon as Daichi finished reading the perks, he couldn't help but whistle. The effects of the Title were quite impressive. True, he didn't like the fact that his mom could only boost her Power when her Health went below 10%, but nonetheless, the Perks of her Title were still impressive and the name of the Title was also fitting.

'My mom does kind of look like a lioness, especially with those canines' Daichi commented internally. He was also happy over the fact that his mom loved him so much that she was ready to bend to his whims. Well, he did like it when his mom literally bent herself for him,

"I see… then I will be taking the Skill" Daichi muttered and crushed the orb in his hand. Moments later, his Skill Page opened in front of his eyes, and his new Skill was already there.

"Milord, what Skill, did you get?" All of a sudden, Bella decided to pop up near the mother and son duo. Fortunately, Daichi had gotten quite used to Bella's antics, so he simply place his hand on top of her head and opened his Skill Page. For a moment, Bella's eyes became unfocused, and after only a few seconds, a face-splitting grin appeared on her face. "I shouldn't have expected anything less from you milord" Bella blurted out in a devoted tone.

"She seems to be quite devoted to you" Kemono muttered without missing a beat. Daichi was about to say something, but he stopped when he saw Saeko clear her throat from the back.

"Daichi-kun, they have found a couple of survivors near the shore" Saeko said and Daichi immediately narrowed his eyes. He didn't have any problems with finding survivors, but he didn't want Aoba making any stupid promises. They also needed to return quickly, even though he wasn't feeling any pain from his leg, it was still becoming hard for him to physically move his leg.

He knew that he must have damaged his leg even more during the fights and whenever Bella's Spell wore off, he was going to be in a world of pain. Even though Daichi wasn't looking forward to the pain, he couldn't do anything to stop it, it was inevitable. He could only prepare himself for the pain and he could choose where the Spell wore off. To be honest, he wanted to be far away from this bridge when it did.

He had gained a lot tonight, and he didn't want to give in to greed and end up kicking the bucket. If he wasn't injured then it would have been a completely different story. "Okay, let's go back then" Daichi said and turned around. Kemono still had her arm wrapped around Daichi's neck so she also turned around and started to leave with Daichi. She would have liked to have some more fun, but her Stamina and Mana were kind of low and she didn't want to risk it, especially now that Daichi was with her.

"How did they find the survivors when the shore is under the bridge?" All of a sudden Daichi questioned as he glanced toward Saeko. Saeko simply released a tired sigh…

"Aoba-san went to look for survivors under the bridge as soon as Kemono-dono started to rampage on the bridge" Saeko answered in a monotone and Daichi couldn't help but rub his face in frustration. There was no helping these self-righteous bastards, they needed to learn their lessons the hard way. Right now, Daichi wasn't planning to say anything to the man, but he was sure that a situation like that was bound to pop up and that is when he would rub the fact in Aoba's face…

"Hah… I was already expecting him to do something like that" Daichi shook his head in disappointment.

"I will make him pay!!" Bella screeched in anger, but Daichi quickly placed his hand over her head and started to pat her.

"Not today, maybe someday in the future…" Daichi muttered as he continued to placate Bella's unbridled fury.

"Son, are you limping?" Kemono asked as she pulled Daichi towards herself so that she could support him.

"Yeah, I did something my body wasn't designed to do" Daichi started to chuckle sheepishly. The group finally arrived at the edge of the bridge where they had parked their vehicles. Daichi immediately noticed the three new faces in the group. The people who were gathered around the vehicle also noticed the arrival of Daichi and his group.

"Have you told them the rules of our group?" Daichi questioned, not looking towards anyone in particular.

Two of the new survivors were male and both of them looked like pushovers, the two of them seemed to be the type of guys who would create fan clubs obsessed with some girls in school. It was clear that the two were high school students as they were still wearing their highschool uniform. Daichi didn't exactly remember the name of the school, not that it mattered.

The girl was the most interesting among the trio. She seemed to be from the same school the boys were from, and the girl had a typical egotistical high school student aura surrounding her. The other students must have revered her when she was still in school and it showed. She still seemed to be quite haughty.

"Who are you?" The girl asked with a sniff.

"My name is Yozora Daichi and I am the leader of this group" Daichi answered in a neutral tone.

"I see… You are going to accept me into the group" The girl declared arrogantly and Daichi couldn't help but frown at her haughty tone. Daichi was about to scoff, but all of a sudden he froze.

'Listen to what she says' 'Listen to what she says' 'Accept her into the group' 'You must listen to her' All of a sudden he started to hear a multitude of his own voice inside his head. Daichi had no idea where the voices came from, he tried to squash them, but they kept getting louder and more assertive. Daichi started to shake his head to clear his mind, and he finally started to regain control.

"You bitch!! Crucio!!" Bella snarled in rage and the voices inside his head disappeared like they were never there. The girl dropped to the ground while screaming like someone was skinning her alive and within a span of a few seconds, a lot of things happened before Daichi could even realize what was happening.

As soon as Bella attacked the girl, the two boys beside her and Aoba Kenji jumped toward Bella and Daichi, but Kemono was already moving. She couldn't believe that she was so late to realize what was actually happening. Her respect for Bella increased. Kemono's fist slammed into Aoba's face, earning a crunch. Aoba dropped to the ground while holding his face in his hands.

Kemono kicked one of the boys, sending him several meters away, and the other boy was stabbed by a knife, in the back by Roberta. Yuriko and Tsukomo finally regained their bearings. "What the hell are all of you doing?!" Yuriko demanded and tried to raise her gun, but she froze when she felt cold metal pressed against her neck and Tsukomo also froze when he found that Roberta had her gun pointed at his head…

Meanwhile, Kohta was the only one who was left standing with a dumbfounded look on his face. Everything happened way too quickly for him to do anything and he could only gulp in fear when he finally realized what was happening in front of his eyes…
