Midas stared at his opponents, the members of the tennis club. He smirked as his eyes gleamed, slouching a bit and getting into position; his muscles began to ache from a hint of excitement.

'Jesus, no excitement from this world, only sports; I tried boxing but, god, do I fucken knock people out easily.'

Midas grabbed the tennis ball as he bounced it. He smiled as he looked at the girls. Nanao blew the whistle; Midas bounced and threw it up as he swung his tennis racket; the ball flew hard on the other side. Kaori quickly moved and hit.

The practice would last for approximately one and a half hours. Midas would not break a sweat; the way he moved seemed flawless and perfect. He would speak loudly, giving each player pointers about their moves, and the girls would switch places.

While Nanao was writing down on her clipboard, her eyes were on the girls, and she would quickly glance at Midas as he moved, his shirt riding up a bit and showing his body a bit. He was showing off his ripped six-pack, and she would blush and look away, but he stared right back at her.

"Wow, he makes them work a lot," a male voice said, causing Nanao to tense as she turned to her right to see the coach of the basketball club. She clutched her pen tightly; she had heard about the coach from her previous school.

Especially the harassment.

The coach smirked as he turned to look at her. His lecherous eyes roamed her body, and she felt a deep disgust. Unknown to both, Midas had already realized, and he would glance and keep his eyes on the two.

"You have such a big heart, Nanao; helping the tennis club, you can also help with the basketball club. Shouya is your childhood friend, isn't he? You don't want him to lose his position" the coach hands moved, nanao showed disgust as she lean back "Fuck off" she said coldly, the coach hand were were inches away until a tennis Rack slammed hard on his hand.

The coach groaned in pain as he pulled his hand away and rubbed it. As he turn to the curprit to see midas smiling, cold, his purple eyes showed pure wrath wit his slits narrowed "ops my hand sliped" midas said as he walked to them, he put himself between nanao and the coach, he stared at the man, staring down on a disgusting pig.

Midas grabbed the coach's hand with a grip that put pressure on it, and the coach groaned as he stared at Midas, who was smiling. "Coach...what are you doing here at the tennis court? You could've gotten hurt," Midas said innocently, but it sounded like he was hiding the venomous sharpness as his grip tightened and leaned close. "Do that shit again. I'll fucken bury down 6 feet under and don't try to go and report me, I can fucken ruin you in seconds, now be a good dog and get on your knees and apologize to Nanao."

Nanao grab midas shirt as she whispered "thank you, Midas" she spoke softly, Midas turn to see Midas so shy and meek, it seem to fuel Midas, he smiled, a usual warm smile, as he released the coach hand who kneeled 'I'm sorry nanao Akane" the coach said. Still, the coach's face showed pure rage as he cursed out and gave a side glance at the rest of the tennis players looking at him with disgust.

Ruka walked up, her tennis clothes white, with a worried expression on her face. "Midas, are you... Okay?" she said and glanced at Nanao, who was staring at her. Midas noticed the spark of tension. Erika, Hana, Kaori, and Sasaki walked up to check on Nanao.

The Coach got up and walked away, but Midas stared at the coach; that red string was still there, and it was starting to get dark, connected to Naano. He looked at Ruka and saw the same thing: a hint of black. He followed where it led and saw a group of three seniors hidden with their phones out. Midas' eyes turned cold.

"Midas" 

Midas turned to see Momoka and Jun beside her, both with worried expressions on their faces. He saw the string; it was green for Momoka, and Jun's was white. Jun was like a tomboy, with short blue hair and amber eyes, while Momoka had brown hair and green eyes, showing concern. Midas stared at them.

"don't worry about me," Midas said as he smiled, 'how in the fuck does the world function? These girls are like busty as fuck, even Ruka, respectfully, same with the rest.'

"Was it a good idea to..." Hana said worriedly; her light brown hair, like ash, and green eyes stared at Midas, but Erika, a blonde with blue eyes, huffed and looked at Midas, then Hana."Hmph, who cares that perverted Coach deserved it? Heard he was a harasser to women, good thing we have Midas," Erika said proudly, as she patted Midas' chest, with a blush.

Sasaki smirked as she walked closer to Midas, running her finger along Midas' arm, tracing the veins of his muscles. "Midas, that was hot," Sasaki purred, only for Kaori to pull Sasaki, "Stop, Sasaki."

Nanao hugged Midas. "thank you, Midas" Midas smiled as he stared at the girls "hey, if somthing ever happens or you need help, come to me, you can count on me, just like when we were kids" Midas said flashing a smiling making each girl blush, he focused on the string, of Jun and mamako. He connected with him; he used his envy to forge a connection.

"Come on. Go change up" Midas said as he walked away, no saying a word, he walked around the school till he found them, three seniors, he didn't give two shits and walked up.

"Mind explaining why you were taking pictures?" Midas asked as he was slouching a bit. The three turned to him and smirked; one took out their phone and showed a picture. It was Ruka with Midas, then another picture of Ruka hugging him, but those pictures were from different days. Midas stared as one with curly hair showed him their phone, or Nanao hugged him, with the girls surrounding them. 

"You know relationship is prohibited," they said with a smirk, his wrath and Pride flared as he grabbed the guy and slammed the man's face against the concrete wall, hard, blood spattered, but he wasn't finished as he lifted the guy and slammed him down.

The other two froze, only for Madias to lunge and grab them, slamming them to the ground.

Fuc..you, my father, can fucken ruin your life!" the one with blood stuttered only for Midas to lift the two seniors easly and used gluttony, Midas open his mouth, his teeth sharp as the two seniors began to feel despair as they swung only for their mouth to be force opn, a dark orb came out the two and followed red orbs, it entered Midas who swalloed.

He released the two, who fell limp and lifeless; midas wiped his mouth as he lick his lips and turn to the last guy who was frozen in show, Midas walked to the guy who began to crawl away only for midas appeared infront of the guy and lifted his feet and stomp down, the guys head burst.

The dark orb and red came out, and Midas ate them. As he looked at the dead with a stoic expression, he saw the string disappear. He forged his string and connected it to Ruka.

Midas sighed and left as if nothing had happened. He looked through the memories of the three; the soul provided him with these memories.

"The two are rich, and the other, his father, is a politician; interesting, mark them as my objective to kill," Midas muttered.

-

I walked down the school's hallway. My shoes were clean, as I had used mud to wipe the blood off them and clean water, but it didn't matter. Some common knowledge doesn't apply to the world for some reason.

Looking through the memories of the three I killed, I saw the connection they had. I took out my phone as I remembered the list my sister sent me. It consisted of those VIPs; their names were on the list, including that politician as well.

Gluttony was a power; it gave me the ability to become a Soul Consumer and a Sin Eater, something I utilized in my life to consume gods and their sins. However, the downside was that the emotions were disgusting, but the benefits were that I consumed the souls or essence of others, growing stronger. While I can absorb the sins or negative emotions of others, potentially becoming more powerful, I can also leave them alive and weaken them, or I can kill them.

"Midas!" Ruka ran and walked beside him, happily humming as he stared at the white string connected to him. He smirked and grabbed her hand, which was soft. I noticed her blush and the way her eyes followed my hand as I held her.

"Come on, we're hanging out today." I couldn't help but feel my sins fueled by her expression 

{Happy 4th}
