Chapter 9: The cool mutan, Zeltania!

Bakuran: I'm impressed, this city really looked gigantic, how did it get there?

Bakuran wonders.

Sakolomé: It must be said that the mutans struck hard this time!

Bakuran: And to think that humans mix with these disgusting creatures!!

A noise alerts the three children, it's in an abandoned room.

In this sector there are lots of abandoned buildings, so it's very likely that mutans are hiding in these buildings.

Bakuzan: You have to be very careful guys!

Sakolomé: Yes, we don't know what mutans we can come across here!

Bakuran: Meh... the mutan we're looking for is disgusting and very stinky, he can't hide well in the area...

Bakuzan was the most suspicious of the three, he was always on his guard as if imminent danger was going to arrive right away.

Bakuzan: You're right, but we don't know if he's able to hide his scent!

They continue their walks in their vigilance.

After an hour of walking, they rest in front of an abandoned building.

Sakolomé: I'm starting to believe that he's not in our search area, guys!

Bakuran and Bakuzan look at each other and sigh.

Bakuran: Maybe, but we should continue the search anyway, I'm still surprised that since we've been walking we haven't found any.

Bakuzan: Okay guys, let's use our detection mana and then we can at least be sure!

Sakolomé frowns, it seems that he doesn't agree with Bakuzan.

Sakolomé: But...I don't know how to use my mana!!

Bakuzan: So what? Where's our problem in that?

Bakuzan answers in a direct tone.

Sakolomé lowers his eyes and says.

Sakolomé: Yeah, that's it, be smart!

Bakuran replies.

Bakuran: I'm still very surprised that Sakolomé still doesn't know how to use mana, we've been awakening it since we were little!

Sakolomé looks at his hands and says.

Sakolomé: I've tried everything, but I can't do it, I'm only able to use my energy.

Bakuzan: Energy is too limited, it's just limited to the body's appearance while mana goes further than that.

Sakolomé (intrigued): What really differentiates them?

Bakuzan: energy and mana both release an aura, that's for sure, but the two are different. First of all, the aura of energy is released like steam around the body, it draws the power accumulated by the muscles and others and then allows you to use your physical strength or even strengthen it and that's it.

Mana on the other hand is even better, its aura manifests itself as burning flames and it allows you to use magic and can even strengthen energy, but energy could never strengthen mana.

Bakuran (interested): So energy is produced by what is purely physical, but mana is what goes above it and even goes to the spiritual level.

Bakuzan: Exactly, with mana you can accomplish great feats but with energy no matter what you can do or how you use it, you will never be able to use magic, or resist certain mana attacks, because energy is only limited on the physical!

Sakolomé seems to feel guilty all of a sudden.

Bakuzan: Don't worry Sakolomé, one day you will succeed in awakening your mana in you and you will finally be able to use magic.

Sakolomé: Don't take pity on me, Mana or not nothing prevents me from becoming overpowered!!!

Bakuzan (smiling): At least in you, you are still as fixed!

_ Hey, you three!!

Shouted a female voice.

Bakuzan, Sakolomé and Bakuran look at where this voice is coming from.

It's a girl on top of a building.

_What are you doing in such an abandoned place?!

Bakuzan feels entitled to answer.

Bakuzan: We don't have any particular reason to tell you, you know?!

The girl feels a little insulted from this answer.

She jumps from the building and lands on the ground with great elegance.

She was a girl of average height, with a collar like a dog's with a long chain attached like a leash, she has white hair followed by a long ponytail like a ponytail and purple eyes.

A small skirt and a huge black jacket with a mini t-shirt underneath that had a skull logo.

Black nails and a tattoo on her stomach.

There was also a long fist of remarkable sutures on her stomach.

Her style was reminiscent of a goth.

_ Kid, you should watch your way of answering ok?

Bakuzan: I don't see why I would do that!

The girl frowns and says.

_ I see that you are the most annoying of the three!!

The girl gets slightly closer to them.

_ It's weird I've never seen you around, are you new?

Sakolomé: Well we...

Sakolomé is interrupted by Bakuzan.

Bakuzan: Sakolomé doesn't say anything, this girl, she has stitches on her stomach!

The girl looks at herself and answers.

_ Don't pay attention to that, it's an old wound, but you there with the black hair why are you so defensive? Yet I just want to get to know each other!!

Bakuzan: Very well!

Bakuzan approaches her.

Bakuzan: What's your name?

_ My name is Zeltania and you?

Bakuzan: I'm Bakuzan Satsujin Otoko!

The girl opens her eyes wide.

Zeltania: Super a killer man!!!

Bakuzan stops surprised by the girl's reaction.

Sakolomé and Bakuran do the same.

Bakuzan: You... you're really a human?

Zeltania: Half!!

Bakuzan/Sakolomé/Bakuran (surprised): what do you mean?

The girl laughs and says.

Zeltania: Did you see how you said it at the same time, hahaha!!!!

Then she stops and says.

Zeltania: My mother is a human and my father is a mutans, I'm a mix!!!

Bakuran (disgusted): Ugh, what could this woman have found in a mutan?

The girl feels offended and answers.

Zeltania: Hey, I don't allow you, my father is a humanoid mutan like me!!

Bakuran: And your father is still alive?

Zeltania sighs and says.

Zeltania: Yes, I know that for you humans a good mutan is a dead mutan but you should know that some mutans in the city C are very nice, we are the ones who are used to protecting the inhabitants of Monor city from the migration of evil mutans!!

At this answer, the young killer men were stunned.

Sakolomé: And how do humans manage to live in such a strange place?!

Zeltania: Very good question, what's your name?

Sakolomé: I am Sakolomé Satsujin Otoko!

Zeltania (proudly): Sakolomé killer man, you know, here we also have a civilization very hidden from all this chaos, appearances can deceive you, and also for our missing we will buy them in monor city like everyone else!

Bakuzan: that's too many things at the same time...

Zeltania smiles.

Zeltania: Bakuzan is that it? You know you don't have the right to push us away, you too the killer men are not well seen by the whole world!

Bakuzan: You're not entirely wrong, what do you think of the mixture of humans and mutants?

Zeltania: Very good question, from my point of view I would say that it's really cool, but be careful, there are bad mutans and good ones just like there are good people and bad ones, don't think that mutans are only at war with humans no, there are mutans at war with other mutans too just like there are humans at war with others!

Bakuzan: I don't really like it when you try to justify your things by always showing similarities with humans!

Zeltania: haha, I'm sorry Bakuzan, I like you In fact do you have a girlfriend?

Bakuzan: Hum... anyway we didn't come for that we have other fish to fry, Bakuran, Sakolomé let's go!

Zeltania approaches Bakuzan and says.

Zeltania: Can I come with you?

Bakuzan (directly without thinking for a moment)

: No!!!

Zeltania: I know you're looking for Mutreph the decaying mutan, and I can lead you to him since my friends and I are also looking for him!

Sakolomé: What? And what do you want?

Zeltania: Just kill him, he's very dangerous, he even feeds on other mutans!

Bakuran responds in an annoyed way.

Bakuran: Mutans are really disgusting and to think that there are humans who have children with them... yuck!!

Zeltania responds in a nervous tone.

Zeltania: You're the Bakuran, right? I don't allow you to say that!!!

Bakuran: How do you know my name?

Zeltania: I heard Bakuzan say it earlier hehehe!!

Bakuzan: Alright, you're coming with us Zeltania!

Zeltania, happy to hear it, jumps like a child in a playground.

Zeltania: Yay, I love it when you call me by my name!!!!
