Ito Ang kanyang storya,
sabay sabay natin itong tunghayan.

After waiting a while, finally the doctor came and treated Roselia. Andre Notchtown, the Claymore's private doctor, was born in noble family who produced many talented doctors from their generations. Many of them served at Zetas Kingdom's Hospital and treat all their patients with care. But, the Notchtown and the Claymore were old friends since a long time ago, so there always someone who took care of Claymores when they were sick. This time, Andre was chosen to be the private doctor, since the previous one was passed away.

"I hope you will get better soon, my lady." Andre took his hat and bid farewell to Roselia.

"Thank you, doctor!" Roselia get Vini, the head maid, to walk doctor Andre out.

Roselia released a long sigh after she left alone in her room. She get off the bed and walk closer to her room's window. Suddenly, there was someone knocking at the door.

"Come in," said Roselia. She looked surprised, when she turn to see who was coming.

"My lady, how is your feeling?" Asked Thomas Humprey while standing at the door.

"Thomas!" She smiled and walk closer to that teenage boy. "I'm happy to see you here! But, don't you have to go to the coming of age ceremony?"

Originally, the coming of age ceremony was an event to celebrate because the Crown Prince reached an adult age which was 17 years old. But, along with that, this also celebration for another young man and girl as they reached their adult age. All family in Zetas Kingdom gathered together to celebrate this happy occasion.

While the noble and the Royal Family celebrate it in the Main Royal Hall, the citizen of Zetas celebrate it in the big Plaza at the center of the Kingdom. Later, after the ceremony in Main Royal Hall was finished, the Emperor and the Crown Prince would took the Royal Carriage and give greetings to them in the big Plaza then after that the coming of age ceremony would finally over.

"I will go there soon. I just want to tell you to rest and have proper meal, don't refuse to eat anymore. I know you're planning something because you told Vini to shut her mouth."

Roselia eyes got wide after heard what Thomas had said. "...I see, you already know it." She tucked her arms behind her back, a habit that would appear when she felt guilty. 

"...Sigh.. But, I know you're very happy because finally Rosé could see the world outside Claymore mansion." Thomas folding his arms on his chest. 

Roselia could only let out a big smile on her face. This young man really knew her best.

"I hope you don't harm your body like this anymore." Thomas said with concern in his voice. He knew the twin daughters from little and he always took care both of them. He always treated the Claymores like his own family.

She nodded. "I promise! Next, I will think another plan for Rosé, a good plan that will not harm anyone."

.

At the Main Royal Hall, Rosé stand alone on the side while watching people dance in couple at the center. Her parents and brothers were away to talk with their colleagues. When a waiter passed by bringing some foods, she would grab one or two and eat them in silence. Little things she knew, there were many people stare at her and watch her in secret. They were fascinated by her graceful appearance in turquoise dress.

"Ah, I really must wear dress in that color next time, she is really beautiful in that dress."

"She looks very unique while the other ladies wear common color like white or pink dress in occasion like this."

Meanwhile, the remaining crowds still expecting the Crown Prince to come down from his chair next to the Emperor. Many ladies who felt anxious while waiting the Crown Prince, finally start to accept invitations for dance from the other man instead. 

After a long time, finally, the Crown Prince walk down from his chair and start to walked pass the crowds, but no one dares to come closer. For ladies, they could only wait and hope they were chosen for the Crown Prince's first dance partner and for the man, they were hoping to talk to the Crown Prince and hope they can become someone he would pick when he needed person who help him manage the kingdom. 

Libra Wayne Zetas as the Crown Prince could not escape from many spectators who tend to gain his favor. He only let out a small sigh and walk pass the people stand near him. The only thing on his mind was to find that little daughter of Claymore.

He was looking a couple of minutes before he saw she was there, standing while gave the empty crystal glass to the waiter. Then he thought to himself, now what?

After he paused a bit, then he walked closer to Rosé. "Good day, my lady." He greeted her.

Rosé turned her gaze and meet with the gold color of the Crown Prince's eyes. She stunned and felt like she was looking at the shiny stars of the whole universe at Crown Prince's eyes.

She quickly came to her sense and gave a greeting to the Crown Prince. "Blessing to the Crown Prince of Zetas Kingdom."

"My name is Libra, may I ask your name, my lady?" The Crown Prince put a small smile on his face knowing the girl in front of him looked a little bit awkward.

Maybe she realized who I am when she looked at me?

Ask Libra in his head.

"Your majesty, I am Roselia, from Claymore household."

Libra held out his hand and start asking, "Do you want to dance? May I have this first dance of my coming of age ceremony with you, Roselia?"

With that questions, there was an instant silence in the hall. The crowds waiting for Rosé's answer.

Rosé stared at the Crown Prince's hand and then shift her gaze to his dazzling eyes again. Then she reached that hand while saying, "I do."

     Sydel and I spent a month decorating and waiting ordering and cleaning and placing things all around. Occasionally, Saiyr also came to help and we had fun along the way. Nothing changed between Wardell and I but the relationships I had with Dean and Tristan continued to grow. I decided that instead of going around and having sex with randoms it was better to keep a few around. Dean and I haven't done anything yet but that was going to change real soon. Tristan and I kept this oral thing going but I was starting to lose my patience. One of them needed to dick me down before I lose my senses and run back to Wardell again. Saiyr, Sydel, and I have grown so much closer and I felt blessed to have such good friends that supported me and knew everything about me including the many men I've slept with. It was just good to know people accepted you for who you are. 

    It was about 4am on a Friday when Sydel and I shouted excitedly. We were finally done with these mini renovations and setting everything up my way and having things in use and ready for me. This was going to be a new start. The girls and Canon were all at their Grandparents for the their small 4 day Halloween break. Wardell still shut himself in our old room every time we managed to be home at the same time even though I never went upstairs unless the kids were home. I noticed he started to have his friends over more often, especially on the weekends. 

    I invited Saiyr over to spend the night with us so we could have a little fun. We deserved it after putting so much hard work into this mini basement renovation. However it was only 4am and I knew we wouldn't get a reply from her right now. She probably had work in a few hours and we needed all the sleep we could get after staying up this late. 

"Let's go to sleep." I yawned tiredly. Sydel looked up at me nodding with bloodshot eyes. 

"Sounds like a great idea." She slurred throwing herself on the couch. 

"I would go to the bed but it's so far away..." I moaned out. Sydel nodded again in agreement. Moments later we were both knocked out. 

   It took us around eight hours to regain our energy. By the time we woke up it was nearly 12:30 in the afternoon. Sydel and I took turns showering and getting ready in the bathroom. We were both extremely hungry so we decided on homemade Chicken tenders with homemade fries, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a movie. While we were cooking it up we got a surprise visit from a couple of Wardell's friends. 

"Helloooooo! Anybody home?" Klay shouted while running down the stairs. 

"Who told you you can come busting into my humble abode?" I raised an eyebrow at him. 

"My apologies, I smelled the food and I had to come running. I can't miss that rare seasoned cooking." He smirked at me chuckling while being followed by Andre and a moping Wardell. 

"Hey Mimi." Andre walked up and hugged me gently followed by Klay . 

"Hi guys." I smiled avoiding all kinds of eye contact with him. 

    After around 5 minutes of small talk Wardell slowly wondered off upstairs while Klay and Andre stayed down here expecting a plate of food. I wasn't going to deny them because they were in Association with Wardell, besides, they were really cool and down to earth people. Not to mention the slight crush I had on Klay since before I even knew Wardell personally. I chuckled at the dreams thought of Klay being in my guts. They guys gave me a weird look and I averted my eyes as soon as I could. The wetness between my thighs couldn't stop itself. 

"You Alright MiMi?" Klay asked awkwardly and placed his hand on my shoulder. I shuddered imagining what his hand would feel like in other places. Oh God ,I'm doing it again. 

"N-nothing I'm fine." I smiled softly and removed his hand from my shoulder. Goosebumps rose on my arms and I slowly moved away from him and closer to the fridge. However, his eyes wouldn't leave me. 

   As I shared both Andre and Klay's plates they sat patiently by the island waiting. Klay's eyes were burning holes into my body and Andre was to preoccupied with the game on TV. I had Sydel and Saiyr trying to save me from this awkward ass moment by attempting to start a conversation. But his eyes never really left me. 

"-uh, MiMi can I talk to you outside for a bit?" He scratched the back of his head awkwardly avoiding Sydel's death glare. 

"It better not be about what I'm thinking about." She groaned and bit into a baby carrot. Saiyr giggled shooing me back into the open lobby like hallway that stood in between the living room and my room. 

   Just as Klay was about to speak Wardell glared harder at him and moved a little closer. It was clear he felt uncomfortable so I walked a little further behind the wall where she couldn't see a thing or make this much more awkward then it needed to be. Finally, we were alone and Klay's face began to blush lightly. I smiled at his kid like behavior and leaned against the wall in nervousness. 

"So what was it that you wanted to talk about?" I kept my eyes on my feet. 

"What was that look you gave me about?" He chuckled and stuffed his hands in pockets while staring hard at me. 

"What look? I didn't give you a look." I backed up in attempt to act dumbfounded. Klay stepped closer to me backing me into a wall. 

"You know the face you made when you turned a little red and smirked all sexual and shit.... -w-what were you thinking about?" 

   By now Klay was closer then before and had pressed a hand against the wall and over my short stature. I reluctantly let my eyes look up to his tall, muscular frame and got weak in the knees. It was almost as if he knew what he was doing. The man wasn't letting me up for a thing, he wanted that answer right away. Klay slowly let his hand slide down the wall and down beside my head. 

"Talk to me." He grunted huskily with his deep voice sending me in a trance and allowing my sweet nectar to drip from within. 

"I... I was thinking about you inside me." I bit my lip accidentally giving him the same yearning look as before. Klay twirled my hair around his fingers and leaned down to whisper in my ear. 

"I can make that thought a reality." He groaned seductively in my ear. My mouth opened slightly in awe of what his voice was doing to me. 

"M-make me cum." I whispered even more seductively before leading his hand to the hem of my shorts. 

  Klay took a deep breath and slowly leaned his body against mine, lifting me up a bit higher in the process. I knew he was one of Wardell's friends but he came on to me. Why should I resist him when he couldn't resist Ayesha. In my eyes, it was fair play and I was also killing two birds with one stone. Klay slowly started to suck on my sensitive neck making me moan softly in his ear as he rubbed my throbbing clit gently. I opened my legs wider inviting him in a little more. My mind went blank as I immediately zeroed in on the idea of cumming fast from this dreamy stimulation. 

  My moans got a bit louder and he covered my mouth with his huge hand. I looked him straight in the eyes wanting him to insert himself inside me and rag my body all kinds of ways. Klay slowly eased his thick fingers inside my vagina and started thrusting at an almost alarmingly accurate spot. I grabbed onto his shoulder and closed my eyes in pure ecstasy. My legs were beginning to shake and Sydel busted around the corner super fast. My eyes went wide and Klay slowly pulled his hands from my shorts.

"Are you two serious right now?" She scoffed clearly disappointed. 

"S-Sorry Syd, I swear it's not the way it looks. Let me explain." I fixed my shorts pulling them from my mini back and front wedgie. 

"You shouldn't be telling me sorry." She gestured to a red faced Wardell standing on the staircase with a tight grip on the railing. Klay slowly backed up from me as he looked between Wardell and I. 

"Wait a second, aren't y'all done with each other?" He crosses his arms annoyed by Sydel interrupting and Wardell's clearly disturbed face. My eyes widened some more as Wardell came stomping toward us enraged. I've never seen him this angry before in my whole life. 

"G-Get out." He stuttered pissed off holding the bridge of his nose. It almost seemed like he was fighting the urge to lack self control. 

"Isn't down here.. her space." Klay chuckled and in response received a quick, swift punch straight to the middle of his face. 

   Before I knew it Wardell was throwing punches at him left and right, one behind the other. At some points Klay started getting a few hits in but it seemed as though Wardell's anger was taking over. He was definitely not the same as before. I watched in horror as Andre struggled to pull Wardell off of his teammate. Klay slowly stood up and lunged for Wardell causing another mini fight to break out. Sydel had her mouth covered in shock and Saiyr was enjoying all the action. I, however, didn't know how I should really feel. 

   As Andre struggled to push Wardell in the empty storage room he started to scream. The veins on his neck and his head bulged out profusely. Sydel held his arm trying hard to calm him down. Klay stood on the other side of the room screaming back at him and taunting him some more. Saiyr was too busy trying to get him to stop and the room felt too stuffy for me. 

"You're supposed to be my best fucking friend Klay." He yelled extremely aggravated as Klay shrugged. 

"You know I wanted her first. It just took time to get your trifling ass back didn't it?" He heckled him and continued to taunt Wardell. Andre shook his head in disappointment. 

   Wardell refused to look at me or utter a word to me and continued to ignore me just as we were before when he was upstairs and I stayed downstairs. My heart skipped a beat as Sydel escorted him back up the stairs giving me a death glare and gesturing that we were going to have a serious talk about this later. Saiyr was in the dining area using the first aid kit to clean his cuts and small bruises from their squarrel. I took a seat and sighed annoyed with my situation. This was all becoming too much.

   After all the drama had come to an end, Sydel locker the upstairs door and rushed back downstairs. Klay was icing his nose and Saiyr and I were sitting at the island as quiet as a mouse. We watched as she walked over to Klay having a brief conversation with him before escorting him out the house. She always handled everything so easily, I kind of envied her for it. Both Saiyr and I looked at each-other knowing that when she walked back in I was going to be getting a long ass lecture about how wrong I was. 

"Girl...," Sydel groaned and slowly sat down Infront of both of us. I sighed. 

"...go on. I know you're about to lecture me, so kill me with your words." I made myself comfortable and leaned my head on my right arm. 

"Actually... I'm not. That was revenge wasn't it?" She grilled me with her huge ass eyes. The one thing that made it hard for me to lie to her. 

"It was but mainly it... really wasn't." Sydel and Saiyr looked at each other dumbfounded. 

"Bitch, What the fuck?" Saiyr busted out laughing and Sydel reluctantly cracked a small smile. I couldn't help but laugh a bit too. 

"It wasn't like that at all I swear. He was coming on to me and you guys know how I am with that. I-I couldn't deny it." I shrugged. Sydel cocked her head to the side and sighed. 

"So basically... you just let him finger you because you were horny." I nodded again. 

"I'm not a spiteful person. But I did feel a bit satisfied seeing how red his face was. I definitely didn't expect anything that came after that though." I groaned rubbing both my knees awkwardly. 

"Wow. I'm kind of proud that you had no intentions behind it because I'm hella petty. Girl I would've fucked him with Wardell next door if I could." Saiyr rain off at the mouth getting off topic. I sighed slowly giggling from her crazy ideas. 

"I think I need to apologize." I stood up quickly fixing my shirt. 

"Oh no sweetheart. You stay right here-  Sydel pressed her pointer finger against my chest, causing me to sit back down. 

"That man is in a super dark place right now. You go up there and he will hurt your feelings worst then how he's feeling right now-  She bit her lip nervously.

-I'm super disappointed in you Aminah. You knew better then to try something with someone he's so close with." Sydel glared at me then the floor. Saiyr nodded in agreement. 

"It is kind of fucked up. I can imagine how he's feeling right now. Hurt of course, but probably also betrayed. I mean aren't you guys the closest people to him?" Saiyr scratched her arm and looked away. Even now I still felt semi bad.

   The next day, Sydel, Saiyr, and I spent all day watching movies and eating popcorn and junk food. Tristan kept blowing my phone up but I kept ignoring his messages and calls. I just wasn't in the mood. It felt nice to have a girls night in since I wasn't used to them at all. I was never able to keep any friends since they all felt they couldn't be friends with the type of person I am but these girls were different. Since the situation yesterday, none of us really spoke on it. Sydel was heated and mad at me for a while but knowing how close we were she got over it in a jiffy. That was one of my favorite things about her. Saiyr, as usual, didn't care at all.  

"Hey do you think he's feeling any better yet?" I started playing with my fingers and getting nervous. 

"I'm not sure but he's kind of the opposite of me, he'll hold a grudge." Sydel thought, rubbing her ankle.

"Seems like him." Saiyr shrugged "-but aye, try to apologize if you want, you know? Cause then you can't say you never did." She pointed a cheese doodle at me. 

"The girls come home soon." I threw my head back and yawned debating what I should do. 

"Don't forget about Canon." They both spoke in unison. 

"How could I?" I groaned. "-we have to be in tune, I don't want them to sense the tension again." I scratched my head a little irritated. 

"It's all good, y'all should be just fine." Saiyr smiled widely at me. "-oh and I kind of invited dean here for you."

"D-Dean? Vice Principal Dean?" My eyes widened. I looked at her like she was crazy 

"Bitch I do not need Wardell seeing the man that works at both of his daughters school in his basement with the girlfriend he just broke up with." I slightly raised my voice, panicking on the inside.

"The men you mean?" She twiddled her thumbs hiding her embarrassment.

"Wait Hunky Principal is Coming?" Sydel smirked at Saiyr as she nodded.

"You moved up in rank didn't you?" I couldn't help but smile as well. She chuckled nodding again. The things I'd do for my beloved friends. 

"Um, I told them to text me when they were here so that I'd go get them.  "-You sure you don't want to take it to my place? I don't want him mad at you forever..." she sighed

"Actually that'd be so much better." I sighed and hugged her tightly, showing her as much appreciation as I could. 

"Perfect. I'll let them know." Somehow the day was getting even better. I might even get something to finally soothe this throbbing in my lower body. Maybe I'll even find the courage to apologize to Wardell for real this time and talk everything out.

What kind of chaos is expected when a professional basketball player falls in love with a wild woman?

Everybody was too busy to notice the hipster dressed woman heading for the large metal door.
I walked as fast and quietly as I could toward the door and almost opened it when I heard a cold voice.
"You are Trey's friend, right?"

I jumped a little and turned around, Sonia was behind me

"Uhm...yeah..I am" I stuttered

She stared at me with a straight face, her cold green eyes looking deep into my eyes
"I heard you came in yesterday?" She asked
"Huh..yeah..I did" I answered trying to understand why this stuck up soldier was having a conversation with me, did she know I was Jane Dumont, the thought made my intestines tighten.

"Its quite impressive how you survived out there for a whole year" she said with no emotion in her voice

" I just have good surviving skills" 

"Hmmm that's good, you'll need it around here" she turned to walk away but then stopped after a few steps " and don't try going in there its against the rules"

"I just wanted to take a look, I heard its really pretty in there" I lied

"Well don't, oh and keep your hands off Trey, he's mine" she added

"My hands wasn't on him" I said loudly but she didn't turn back to reply, she simply walked out of the building.
What right did she have to tell me what to do, I felt tempted to put her in her place but I didn't really want to make enemies on my second day.

I thought about going back in but that plan was cut short when soldiers came to keep guard at the door.

I sighed and climbed the stairs to My shared room with Trey

When I got there Trey was arranging provisions into a small backpack, his handgun was already in its holster 
"You are going out?" I asked

"Yea" he replied, not looking up

"I wanna come too" I blurted out

He looked at me with surprise
"You want to become a scavenger?" He asked with curiosity

"Yes, am a doctor, I know a lot about this virus, much more than those scientists in the lab, i believe I can help these people but without medical supplies am pretty much useless" I told him trying to be as discreet about my identity as possible

"I need to go out there and smuggle in medical supplies that I can use to work" I added

He looked at me like I was crazy

"That's impossible, there is no way you can smuggle in medical supplies, the guys in charge never let regular citizens have access to it, if the catch you with it, they'll toss you to the zombies, Peter Walter doesn't like people breaking his rules" he said shaking his head

" if I can't bring it in here then I could work from outside, maybe I'll set up a lab In a zombie free area and work from there " I replied adamantly

"There is no zombie free area" he quipped

"Am willing to take the risk" I added

He saw that there was no changing my mind and he slowly sighed 

"I'll help you sign up" he walked out

I slowly sat on the bed and joey laid on my lap purring

I had to find a cure to this, I needed to clear my name, the whole world thought that I was the villain, the monster who had turned the world into a nightmare, I had to find a way to let people know who the true villain was.

The trip back into the city was quite boring, Jing Jing kept sharpening her sword and Slim Eddie kept eating, from inside the truck I could hear zombies snarling and growling, it freaked me out a lot but the rest of the team didn't seem bothered.

Jing Jing broke the silence
" you won't survive out here" she said without looking up

"I survived for almost a year, am sure I can manage" I said sarcastically

"You would have been zombie lunch if not for us, you have no fighting abilities, I don't know why Trey let you sign up, you are just a liability" she tried not to sound offensive

"Am not a liability and by the way all you can do is swing a sword" I defended myself

"I know jujitsu, kung fu, judo and archery" she said with a smile

I sighed in defeat

"I might not be a skilled fighter but I want to help people and if being out here is the only way I can achieve that, then fine by me"

Jing Jing shook her head "you'll die" she added and went back to sharpening her sword

After a few minutes the truck stopped and we all came down
Trey arrived on his motorcycle
We were in front of the hospital I had woke up in

Jing Jing didn't look pleased
"Trey, why are we here, I am not going to risk my life for medical supplies, what we need is food" 

"Kat is a doctor, she believes she can find a cure to this but she needs medical supplies to work with" Trey said with pleading eyes

"You are too hot to be a doc" Andre said jokingly

"Andre stop fooling around, look Kat the doctors in the level one base are the best in the country, if anyone can find a cure it's them, we don't have to bother about that" Jing jing said casually

"They don't know anything about the Virus, I was a medical attendant at Hope Research Facility, am familiar with Jane Dumont's work" I said trying to hide my identity

"Why didn't you tell us this earlier" Jing jing asked with suspicion in her eyes

"I didn't know if I could trust you, look Peter Walter is not who you think he is, he is behind this Virus" I said hoping they would believe me

"Peter might be a terrible person but he is the reason humanity still exists, there is no way he could possibly be behind this, everybody knows Jane Dumont caused all this" Andre added

I shook my head, Slim Eddie just starred without saying anything

"We have to help Kat, we don't know what happens in Level one, we don't know if they are anywhere close to finding a cure, if you haven't noticed, we are running out of supplies, how long do you think we are gonna last, am tired of depending on those rich bozos to find a cure, we need to trust Kat" Trey said in his usual authoritative manner

The rest of the team simply nodded, refusing to argue anymore

"Let's go in and get the supplies before zombies smell us and come out for a bite" Trey added patting Jing Jing on the shoulder

He headed into the hospital alongside Slim Eddie and Andre

"Kat" Jing Jing called out

I looked up and she threw a small dagger in my direction

The dagger barely missed my ear

"What are you doing?" I yelled

"I just saved your life doc" she walked into the hospital, I looked back and saw a dead zombie a few inches from me, Jing King's dagger was plunged into its head

I gulped hard and followed them into the hospital.

The hospital was the same way I left it, creepy, dusty and isolated

Jing Jing pulled out her sword, Trey pulled out his dual gun and Andre held tight to his machine gun

We didn't encounter any zombie

"There should be supplies in the lab" I said quietly

We headed to the Lab and was shocked not to see any medical apparatus or supplies

"Looks like someone got here before us" Andre said

"Damn" Trey cursed

Suddenly I heard a creaking sound, and I guess everyone else did because they all went back to their attacking stance

The sound came from a cabinet,  Trey cautiously walked closer to it and tried to open it but it was locked, he carefully shot at the lock and am sure I heard a little whimper

The cabinet doors opened....
And to everyone's shock a little girl was in the cabinet, she could not have been more than 14 years old, she looked frightened and terrified, she was really skinny and pale

"Please don't kill me" the little girl begged

She looked like she had not eaten for days

"Is she bitten?" Andre asked Trey

Trey looked at her from head to toe

"I don't think so" 

"Who locked you in here kid?" Trey asked

"I was kidnapped from... The level one base, some really bad people took all the medical equipments and left me here to die" she said sobbing bitterly

I knelt towards her and slowly touched her arm, she flinched a little

"Don't get too close Kat" Trey said with deep concern in his voice

"Why did the kidnap you?" I asked in the most gentle tone possible

She looked at us one after the other not sure if she could trust us

"Its fine, we are not going to hurt you" I said calmly

She looked into my eyes
"I saw them....I saw them turn humans into monsters"

"What are you talking about?" Trey asked coming closer

"My father walks in the level one lab, I went there to find him one evening and I saw the doctors injecting things into humans from the common base, they turned into terrifying monsters, into beasts that were much more scarier than zombies, they found me spying on them and contacted my father" she said shaking her head, probably trying to shove the memories from her head

"The doctors are busy mutating humans into monsters than finding a cure?" Jing Jing said with a bit of fear in her voice

"Like we didn't have enough problems with zombies" Andre shook his head

"Why didn't your father stop them from taking you away" I asked

"They locked him up for letting me come to the lab and then they took me here, the scavengers they hired to feed me to the zombies couldn't do it, they locked me in the cabinet and left"
 
We all stared at her gaping, trying to take in all she said, Slim Eddie bent closer and handed her a snack

"You must be hungry" he said.

Was there any reason to doubt him?

President Kim confirmed that Woo Jin-Cheol was being dead serious and hurriedly muttered out an answer, not even giving himself enough time to spin this situation to his advantage.

"O-of course. A Hunter needs to do a Hunter's job. My thoughts were too rash. It was a slip of the tongue on my part."

Woo Jin-Cheol watched the pale-faced president nodding his head non-stop, and stood up from his seat to leave. Even after he was long gone, though, both the president and the high-ranking government official couldn't get up from their seats, their legs having turned to jelly a long time ago.

"…"

"…"

Only now did they awake to the reality of how scary the existences called Hunters could be.

*****

"Did something good happen in there, sir?"

As the car was about to drive away, the escort driving the vehicle asked Woo Jin-Cheol sitting in the backseat.

"Does it look that way to you?"

"Yes, sir. It does."

His escort was also an agent of the Monitoring Division.

Woo Jin-Cheol glanced at the baby-faced newbie, effectively his junior from the same department, and ended up recalling his own newbie days and he let a content smile sneak up on his lips.

"Well, it feels like I've performed the duty of the Association President for the first time since I got the job, that's all."

Woo Jin-Cheol reclined against the back of the seat that Goh Gun-Hui used to occupy. He then looked back fondly at the late Association President, who would've been sitting in places like this, out of everyone's gazes and earning the ire and hatred of many powerful men in high places, all for the sake of other Hunters.

'….What a relief.'

Thanks to Woo Jin-Cheol's angry-looking eyes and his large frame, he was used to being hated and feared already. If that was part of being the Association's President, then he'd gladly accept it.

The moment he decided to take over from Goh Gun-Hui, he had prepared himself to a certain extent for this kind of rubbish, anyway.

"Where should we go next, sir?"

"….To the Association."

He dearly wanted to go home and take a break, but he actually came running here after abandoning his job back in the office. He still had a mountain of work to go through.

"Then, we'll get going, sir."

The escort seemed to understand Woo Jin-Cheol's mind as he stepped on the accelerator. The vehicle carrying the two men easily slipped out of the Blue House's grounds.

How long had passed by like that?

Woo Jin-Cheol drifted off to sleep while staring at the passing scenery, only to abruptly wake up again. He could see an endless ocean of cars filling up the road, not going anywhere fast.

Even though Seoul was infamous for its clogged roadways, such a traffic jam seemed improbable in the middle of a weekday.

'Did another Gate pop up in the middle of the road again?'

Feeling a bit worried now, Woo Jin-Cheol scanned his surroundings. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere of the road seemed far too suspicious for something as simple as that. In fact, all the drivers had stopped their cars and stepped outside to look up into the sky.

It wasn't just the drivers, either.

Even the pedestrians on the sidewalks, people on the zebra crossings, every single one had come to a dead stop and was looking up at the sky above their heads. That included the escort in the driver's seat, who was also craning his neck forward to look at the sky.

'What on earth is going on here….?'

Now feeling genuinely alarmed, Woo Jin-Cheol quickly grabbed the escort's shoulder and shook him around.

"Hey. What's going on?"

"A-Association President…"

The escort spoke with a trembling voice, leaned out of the way and pointed up at the top of the windscreen.

"T-there, sir…."

In an instant, Woo Jin-Cheol's expression stiffened.

Were his eyes playing tricks on him?

No, if that was the case, then everyone shouldn't be looking at the sky with the exact same expression etched on their faces. He didn't want to believe what he just saw, but just like with everyone else on the road, he leapt out of the car.

His eyes weren't lying to him.

Woo Jin-Cheol dazedly stared at the sky before a look of pure, unadulterated shock took over his face.

"How… how can something like that be….?!"

*****

The result of the test proved to be very satisfying. Jin-Woo's steps taking him back home were cheerier than ever before.

Beru had become really strong. A lot stronger than his initial expectation, even.

It was unfortunate that Igris couldn't advance, but Beru's advancement alone was already an excellent result. Without a doubt, the elites of the Hunters Guild should be unable to shut their slack jaws from the spectacle laid out within that dungeon by now.

Jin-Woo imagined Cha Hae-In and her wide-open eyes, and a smirk formed on his lips.

It had been a while since they saw each other and he wanted to talk to her for a bit longer, but regrettably, he still had guests waiting for him. Jin-Woo pondered his options between Thomas Andre and Lennart Niermann before giving the American the call first.

He could pretty much guess what the German was here for, but he simply couldn't figure out what the Hunter ranked No.2 in the world was thinking of by showing up unannounced like this.

The call got through in no time at all.

– "Mister Sung!"

Worried that Jin-Woo would cut him off again, Thomas Andre was quick to pour out what he wanted to say.

– "I came bearing a fantastic gift for you, Mister Sung."

A gift?

"What the heck. If you had something like that, you should've told me earlier."

Jin-Woo spoke to the American half-jokingly and half-seriously, but then, he was suddenly faced with silence from the other side of the line.

A short while later, Thomas Andre spoke with a kind of voice belonging to someone suppressing his swelling emotions.

– "….I'm really happy to hear that you're looking forward to my gift. Okay, then. Where will we meet? I want to hand over the gift as soon as possible."

"Wherever it's convenient for you."

– "Can you come to where I am? These guys are a bit too dangerous to walk around in the open, you see."

Too dangerous?

Jin-Woo was left puzzled for a moment then, but still, told Thomas Andre that he'd be there soon and ended the call.

'Hang on… It really can't be a bomb, right?'

Of course, it couldn't be. It'd be far more effective than an explosive to attack personally if you were a Special Authority-rank Hunter.

 

Jin-Woo began regretting a bit at the fact that he forgot to ask what kind of a gift it was. It was then, Beru suddenly began addressing him.

[Oh, my king.]

'Mm?'

[May I be permitted to fight against that foreigner?]

'....'

Jin-Woo pondered that for a little while, before shaking his head as if to get rid of the distracting thoughts.

What was he even wondering about here?

Sure, he was really curious as to find out just how far Beru's powers had been enhanced, but there was no way he'd let his Shadow Soldier fight against Thomas Andre.

He didn't want to see either the American get hurt or see Beru get destroyed. Their personalities meant that the fight would definitely not end with someone getting a bit bruised.

'Even then….'

Still, being able to ponder such a possibility attested to how much Beru had grown compared to before. In fact, the former ant king's desire to test his own enhanced body could be heard so clearly in his voice.

'Beru?'

[Please bestow unto this lowly servant your wisdom, oh, my king.]

'There should come a time when you'll be free to test your limits as much as you want. So, there's no need to be rash.'

[This servant shall take it to heart, my king.]

'And also, you gotta stop watching those historical dramas on TV. Your speech has become really weird lately, you know?'

[This servant shall heed my liege's….]

'Just say 'Yes, I will', okay? Say, 'Yes'. Just 'Yes', nothing more.'

[Yes.]

Very good.

Now that he finally told Beru what was on his mind, Jin-Woo happily headed off to the meeting location with Thomas Andre.

*****

"Oh, Mister Sung! You probably have no idea how long I waited for this moment."

Thomas Andre welcomed Jin-Woo into his hotel suite with open arms.

It was true that you'd feel great about receiving gifts, but the joy of giving itself shouldn't be underestimated, as well.

From the time Jin-Woo mentioned that he needed new shortswords to up until now – Thomas Andre had been counting the days he'd get to hand over the greatest weapons ever made, sleeping within his Guild's storage, to his new friend.

He didn't simply fly all the way to this distant foreign land for no reason at all.

How would the guy Thomas Andre personally acknowledged as the world's best Hunter react when he sees these two bad boys?

Along with a big bout of anticipation bubbling in his heart…

Snap!

…Thomas Andre snapped his fingers, prompting his 'bodyguards' to bring out a large box covered in a sheet of fabric.

Even if it was ostensibly a gift, Jin-Woo didn't really want anything, to begin with, so he stared at the box with disinterest, but then, as the bodyguards got closer and closer, his eyes became equally sharper and sharper as well.

'What's this….?'

Wuoong…. Wuuuuong…

Something inside that box was resonating with his magical energy.

Thomas Andre easily caught the changes in Jin-Woo's expression and inwardly punched the air.

'That's what I'm talking about!'

Hunter Sung Jin-Woo would recognise the weapons, while said weapons would recognise their new owner; Thomas Andre predicted that they would naturally recognise each other, and as expected, he was proven right, at this moment.

It was possible that these weapons had been hiding inside the Scavenger Guild's storage unit where not even a strand of outside light entered, biding their time just for this very moment.

Tack!

The box was placed on the coffee table between Thomas Andre and Jin-Woo.

"This here is my repayment for the favour you've shown to my Guild members and to myself."

Thomas Andre grasped the corner of the fabric and carefully pulled it away.

Shururuk….

The sheet slid off smoothly and revealed what it had been hiding all this time. It was a see-through case underneath. And within it were a pair of shortswords stabbed into a large reptilian scale.

No, hang on – could they even be called shortswords?

Jin-Woo grew doubtful almost immediately.

The blades of these weapons were definitely shorter than a longsword's, yes, but then again, they were so much longer than a regular shortsword's, too.

However, what caught his attention wasn't the puzzling length of the shortswords themselves. No, it was actually their ice-white blades.

Jin-Woo was familiar with the concept of crafting blades out of non-metallic materials. As a matter of fact, the very first weapon he acquired inside the first instant dungeon was the 'Poison Fang of Kasaka'.

Thanks to the memories of that time, Jin-Woo could guess just which monster's fang was used as raw material to craft this pair of shortswords. Besides, there was only one creature capable of emitting this kind of aura from a part of its remains.

"Kamish…."

Jin-Woo involuntarily whispered that name out, prompting Thomas Andre to shake his head while clapping his hands, feeling impressed.

"To think, you'd correctly guess the base material used for these guys just from one look."

Jin-Woo's guess was correct. But then, because he was right, he became puzzled about something else.

"Hang on, I thought Kamish's remains were in safekeeping with the Hunter Bureau….?"

"Because the American government wanted the intact corpse, we gave up on that monster completely. We got something else even more valuable than money from that deal, anyway."

Thomas Andre recalled the raid back then and grinned meaningfully.

"However, Kamish's biggest and sharpest fang…. When that thing tried to bite me, I yanked out one such fang, and it was given to me as a souvenir."

The problem was, there were no Awakened capable of crafting weapons out of stripped materials from a d*mn Dragon.

….Besides one single man, that was.

Thomas Andre added that, with the master craftsman responsible for the creation of these two genuine masterpieces having passed away due to old age, there would never be another weapon crafted out of the Dragon corpse in this world again.

"The fang's length wasn't nearly long enough to make a proper longsword, so they were made into shortswords back then. Who knew that decision would pay off now?"

Thomas Andre recounted the situation of all those years ago, his expression remaining bright and cheerful. He then leisurely took away the clear case and pushed the scale with the shortswords stabbed into it in Jin-Woo's direction.

"And now, these are yours."

Finally, the best weapons in the world had met the best owner in the world. Thomas Andre did his darnedest to calm his fluttering heart and studied Jin-Woo's response.

The latter pulled one of the shortswords out.

Shuwuk.

As if the weapon was waiting for it, it came off without any resistance whatsoever.

Tti-ring.

The mechanical beep went off in Jin-Woo's head as soon as he grasped the shortsword and he quickly swallowed his saliva. Shortly afterwards, the detailed explanations on the weapon popped up in his view.

'WHAT?!'

Jin-Woo doubted his own eyes right away.

This couldn't be real.

He was completely taken aback by the nonsensical attack value of this weapon and hurriedly summoned out his current main weapon, the 'Demon King's Shortsword'.

[Item: Demon King's Shortsword]

Rarity: S

Type: Shortsword

Attack: +220

A shortsword taken from the Demon King, Baran. Using two 'Demon King's Shortswords' will activate a set effect.

Set effect 'Two Becomes One': Extra attack power equal to the current Strength Stat will be added to each shortsword.

This blade's attack power would shoot way past the 500 mark when his current Strength Stat of over 300 was added on top. He had always thought that such a set effect would make this shortsword plenty useful for his cause.

But then, the attack value of the new shortsword in his hand was…..?!

Jin-Woo compared the stats for both shortswords and began freaking out inwardly.

'….How can this even be possible?!'

Anna! The badass girl who alone had beaten up three thugs! Of course, Raphel had his share in that battle, but this woman was too dangerous!

"Oh..."

And she let out a long chuckle upon seeing Raphel! Even though his movement was rather dull and weak, he had strength and helped her, thus, how could she just let him go after he popped out from nowhere? Raphel also seemed to have weak mentality, so Anna knew she can play as much as she wants with him...

"I am... busy. Let me go."

"Oh, please. What is so important for high schooler that he has to pass the chance of cuddling with such nice young lady?"

"Y-you nice? Blurgh!"

The badass girl smashed his stomach with elbow, then wrapped her arm around Raphel's neck! As she brought him closer to her small lips, the 'nice' lady began speaking rather not appropriate words...

"If you want someone to leave you alone, then you don't say 'I am busy' like little bitch, but frankly 'Fuck off piece of shit or I will break that mouth of yours'. Get it?"

"I get, so... Fuck off bitch."

"Ahhhh?"

Although it didn't sound that girly, Anna still felt annoyed by hearing it rather immediately after her advice. She sent another head smacking, but Raphel who 'became manlier' protected himself nicely!

"Hah~~ I am so nice teacher! Such improvement!"

As if it was because of her, Anna kept complimenting herself saying that teachers should just say blant truth when it comes to teaching! Contentment as she is, Anna followed Raphel as their direction was the same which was kinda bad, no?

"So where are you going?"

"It's not your bussiness."

"Haaa... What have I said before?"

"Fuck off, bitch. Badass girl ain't for me."

"Ahahaha~~"

It seemed like being called 'Badass' was pleasant for Anna which was likewise bad as she kept following him! Or maybe they truly had the same direction? Soon, Raphel arrived in Human Bear dojo together with Anna...

Getting proper look at her, Raphel saw that she had training bag... 

'Don't tell me she trains here?'

The answer to this question came out quickly as she stepped forward! Everyone who noticed the badass girl entering, bloomed with smile which was mix of helplessness and awkwardness!

"Father, you piece of shit, how about you come out?"

"Anna, my daughter... H-how about you stop cursing first?"

"How about you finally become useful? Come and fight me."

How bossy and domineering! Even Human Bear couldn't do anything other than listening obediently! He went onto the mats and stood like warrior from old ages! Of course, he didn't miss Raphel...

"Brat, what are you doing?"

As Anna left to change, Andre finally could speak normally. He came back to 'usual' attitude and asked like master he is... Since he noticed that Raphel had not brought any training clothes with himself, he knew that something must have happened.

"I... I would like to thank for all the trainings, but I must leave the dojo."

"Why?"

Andre had to accept this decision. Overall, he has been giving free trainings, so it didn't really matter, but Raphel had something within himself that intruiged the master and he kinda liked seeing the small changes in this young man...

One could say that the development of Raphel to overcome the coward self was pleasant to an eye.

"It's... just that I need some money, so I must go to part-time job."

And as Andre had his own feelings, Raphel likewise was the same. The human bear techniques had helped him, so he became a bit honest and told about his goal. As Andre caressed his beard, he was inwardly debating whether let Raphel go to the tournament.

"So you need money..."

He spoke slowly and seriously only to see Raphel's reaction. If this brat needs money for his games or some useless toys, then Andre would already send him farewell, but... From those eyes of his, Human bear could see a resolution and high importance.

"Brat, if you need money quickly, then how about you join the tournament? It's martial meeting between dojos and the prize is quite nice."

"Is that fine? I won't take anyone's place? I mean... I am just training here selflishly..."

"So you have a bit of conscience. Hah, it's fine brat, just don't annoy my daughter."

"She is also going to participate?"

"Tsk... you just saw how she treats me... Like hell I can refuse her."

Andre had his own problems. First was hospitalized wife, then rebellious daughter! Sighing to himself, Andre kept his posture before Anna arrived! And as she left the changing room, what came out wasn't thug girl, but calm and ready to fight lady.

'If she doesn't wear hoodie or move those lips, then she is indeed good looking.'

Oh, here she moved her lips forming a sneer! Why was she looking at him? Why was she keeping her attention on him?! Raphel kept asking this question, then watched the battle between parent and child untill the end.

He had few questions regarding the tournament.

-

'The prize is truly nice... 20k dollars!'

Raphel thought about main prize of the tournament while looking around! Why was so? It was because he already had been told by Anna to wait for her! She just came to fight here to fight with her father!

"So it's Raphel."

"..."

"I have heard your talk... So you need money, hmm? How about I help you?"

"No, thanks."

"Shut up, you are going with me... to the underground!"

Underground? This is indeed thug girl! But as she was good looking without hoodie, this very hoodie was likewise fitting her sneering!

Truly badass girl!

The rest of the day at the beach was astoundingly fun but I'm unsure whether it was because more people came with bikes or whether it was because I had Leah hanging onto me, joyfully screaming whenever I made an extra sharp turn.

Maybe a bit of both?

Anyway, Jacob continued to sulk throughout the rest of the day out, only really coming out of it when Bella turned up. She kept away from me, but I could sense that she didn't want to - she probably wanted to continue questioning me but avoided it as to avoid another anger episode with me.

Jacob and Bella walked off further down the beach, presumably to have their conversation about the legends of his tribe and how the Cullens were referred to as Cold-Ones or whatever.

Right now, I was sitting on the beach and drinking some water with Leah. We just sat in silence, enjoying the company of the other. At some point, Leah had leaned her head against my shoulder and I leaned my head on the top of hers. It was incredibly intimate and overwhelmingly relaxing.

If I didn't have things to discuss with Leah, I'd have probably fallen asleep in this slice of silent perfection.

"Hey Leah," I called out quietly, not wanting to ruin the nice atmosphere we had going on.

"Mhm?" she hummed sweetly but also absentmindedly, like she was too busy looking out at sea or something.

Chuckling at her surprising airhead-like qualities, I nudged her with my shoulder, "Shouldn't we discuss when we're going out for dinner? Unless you've thought of something else you want," playfully teasing her, I could practically hear her smile as she scoffed at me before poking me in the ribs.

"As if I'd give up the chance to have a free meal, biker boy~" she teased back, calling me by her new endearment for me, "But I'd rather discuss it later...I wanna relax for now..." she seemed a bit stiff when she said this so I knew she was lying and it clicked in my head as an urge to tease Leah grew in my head.

"You couldn't by any chance want to discuss it later so you have a reason to meet me, now would you, Leah?" my voice came out much smoother and more confident than I was actually feeling, as flirting with Leah made me feel unnaturally nervous.

Stuttering and nearly choking on the water she'd gone to drink while I was speaking, Leah replied rapidly, "N-no, I, I just want to relax right n-now. Leave discussing that until l-later, okay, Alex?" her voice went into an embarrassed whisper towards the end and I knew I had her as she turned her head away from my shoulder.

"Oh? Is that so, Ms. Clearwater? What if I said I'd still meet you tonight even if we discussed the details for dinner right now?" I said in a nonchalant matter like it didn't matter to me despite how much it weirdly did.

At what I said, Leah froze up before turning her head back to me slowly, her brown eyes filled with a cheery hopeful look that she thought she'd hidden well but was as clear as day to me. Especially when I could hear her heartbeat speed up and see the small, but happy, smile on her face.

"I'd say that I'm very happy you want to hang out with me twice in one day," she half-closed her eyes and looked up at me with a wide smile which was only made more beautiful when she licked her lips, giving them a sheen which made the color of the lips shine and make them more enticing.

She looked between my eyes and my lips and moved her head a bit closer to my neck, her hot breath scorching but also exciting me as I leaned down a bit closer to her head, feeling my pulse go through the roof.

Smiling back down at her, I whispered in a surprisingly hoarse voice, "I want to hang out with you, even more, to be honest with you, Leah."

Not knowing what came over me and why I said that I still lowered my head and I knew my destination: Leah's lips. Her lips. On my lips.

Leah's breathing picked up the pace and was short and shallow, sounding like the quiet panting of an animal. Her face blushed up and she closed her eyes as she brought her head up towards mine.

Just as I was about to hit Leah's wonderful and delicious-looking lips...

"Alex?" a quiet, almost whisper-like voice was heard behind me and knocked me out of my earlier illusions, my snapping toward the speaker.

Seeing my sister's pale skin and brown hair, I let out a sigh of relief for some reason, before smiling at her, "Yes, Bella?"

Hearing me and then looking more in detail at mine and Leah's closeness, my sister went wide-eyed before stepping back a bit and stuttering, "A-ah, well, I was heading back home now and I, I w-wondered if you wanted a lift back," she pointed her thumb behind her at her truck, before putting her hands down at her sides stiffly and awkwardly smiling at me, "But I can see that you're busy...so, I'll be going."

She went to walk off but to my surprise, Leah spoke up, "Yeah...I'm probably gonna go as well," I looked down at her in surprise, noting her unusually red-tinted skin, "I need to go do some homework."

Both of us stood up and I motioned for Bella to wait for me. Looking over at Leah who refused to meet my eyes, I just gently smiled before pulling her into a hug.

She yelped but I could feel her nuzzling her head against my chest, so I knew she wasn't against the hug which warmed my insides.

What a peculiar feeling.

"See you later tonight, Leah," with this I laid a kiss on her head before I let her go and she shakily back away, her knees seemingly weak, before she quickly nodded in agreement to what I said before breaking out in a jog before sprinting away. She didn't use all her speed, she just wanted to get a more remote place before shifting into her wolf form. Presumably, anyway.

Now I was just standing here next to Bella.

"Sooo...you and Leah?" Bella said uneasily before laughing a little, "I did not expect that" hearing what she said, I looked at her and squinted my eyes in confusion at her.

"What do you mean by that?" I was genuinely curious and that seemed to only spur on Bella's laughter.

Finally, Bella came to a stop before answering me, "I don't know, I just thought you and Edward's sister would become a thing. You two are always talking in history, apparently, and I see you two walking around the hallways together chatting like you've known one another for years," she let out a happy sigh, "I guess I was wrong or that my little brother is playboy," she smirked before laughing again at my slightly grim expression.

Hearing the last bits of what she said, I scoffed, "Oh yeah? You're one to talk, you and Edward do the same thing. Don't think I don't see you two walking around with that rosy atmosphere between the two of you," I teased back, an 'evil' grin on my face.

Bella's expression went flustered before it went sullen, "Yeah, but at least Edythe isn't constantly changing her mood of you like Edward does to me..." she trailed off before looking up at me with an odd look, "Hey, Alex?"

"Yeah?" I looked at her with slight trepidation, knowing she was about to ask me something I could properly answer yet.

"Why did you call Edward a leech?" her force was unusually forceful as she stepped closer to me, "And why did you tell me to touch his skin? What do you know, Alex?" her curiosity got the better of her as she placed a hand on my arm, at least showing the effort that she'd try to stop me if I tried to escape her questioning.

Sighing and rolling my eyes, "I don't know what I'm supposed to tell you, Bella - I was angry. The 'leech' comment was just a dig at him. The comment about touching his skin...well, that was just a clue. You have to figure the rest out, okay?" trying my best to dance around the subject, I took Bella's hand from my arm, doing my best to avoid hurting her hand as I pried it off of me.

But this wasn't a good answer in Bella's book.

"No! No it's not okay, Alex!" she grabbed my hand and ran around to stand in front of me, "You know something and you're not telling me," her voice went quiet before she looked at me with desperate eyes, "Please, Alex, I just want answers," her voice was so delicate and fragile I felt the thought of telling her come to me but I quickly squashed it as I shook my head at her.

"No, Bella, I won't tell you. It's not my secret to tell, and you can easily find out the answers if you really think about it - you're a clever girl, just use your head," I picked her up and moved her out of my way before looking at her, "I know Jake just told you about some of the Quileute Tribe's legends, right? Search them up." 

With that, I just walked past her and waved goodbye to Jacob before sitting in Bella truck, waiting for her to drive us home.

She soon came and sit down, and started the truck up before driving us home.

The drive was in silence as any attempt at conversation from my end was met by questions, so I just kept my mouth shut and put my earbuds in.

I'd take music over incessant interrogation any day.

. . .

Feeling the morning sun radiate in through my windows, I let out a mighty yawn before getting up and doing some stretching.

If any normal person were to come in, they'd have been shocked by the weird positions I was shifting myself into. It was like a mixture between calisthenics and yoga and the benefits it had for my body and it's flexibility and overall coordination - especially with the help of the energy flushing through my system which improved my body rapidly - were incredible.

Coming to the end of the stretching/calisthenics/yoga session, I sat at my desk before loading up my computer and leaning back while thinking about how excited I was for dinner later tonight with Leah.

We'd discussed when we were gonna meet up last night and both of us agreed on meeting in Port Angeles tonight at this Italian place we both knew and liked.

The rest of the night was me working out while she stayed and watched, while we talked, or us having a friendly game of tag which soon devolved into a game of play wrestling. At times it got pretty...hot and bothered, but nothing happened, as if Leah was holding herself back or something. I didn't ask her about it, knowing she'd tell me if it were important.

I'd let her take her time - I wasn't going anywhere, after all.

Around 11 pm I called it a night and I said goodnight to Leah who returned the goodbye before flashing off in her wolf form.

It seemed more like the book version of the wolf as it seemed kind of small but it was a beautiful grayish silver wolf and the sight of her running was wonderfully amazing. Like the purest part of nature put into such a simple action.

Anyway, I was looking up the number for the restaurant on the internet at the minute as I was about to book a table for two. 

Finally getting the number, I flicked open my phone before dialing the number and pressing the call button.

While I waited for the call to connect, I looked at myself in the mirror noticing a bit of a change.

I was another inch taller and my shoulders were wider, while my muscles had an extra bit of definition to them that made them look like muscles carved from stone or molded from metal. My body wasn't overly bulky, however, and looked more like a gymnast or a swimmer's body: lean and powerfully muscular, with definition, rather than big bulging muscles which looked closer to fat than muscle.

I was definitely more muscular and bigger than Edward and Jasper but I was much leaner than Emmett. That's how I'd describe it.

Knocking me out of my stupor I heard a voice on the other side of the phone and I got about booking a table.

While doing so, I remembered I'd have to call Edythe soon to sort of my lessons. I couldn't wait to learn the piano. Especially from Edythe.

Shaking my head, I concentrated, feeling a bit like a playboy for booking dinner with one girl while thinking about sorting out a lesson with another.

Finishing with the phone call, I threw my phone onto my bed while ruffling my hair up while knocking my head with my fists.

What's happening with me? Am I just a greedy prick in this life?

Sighing, I headed to the bathroom for a shower before I got ready for school.

After a peaceful night with no attacks, Bella woke me just as the sun was rising above the horizon. I desperately wanted to go back to sleep, but she kept poking me in the ribs with a stick and forced me to get up. Once I finally opened my eyes, I saw why she was so adamant about waking me up. She had made breakfast.

The meal consisted of some roasted meat and cooked vegetables we had brought with us. Food was always a good way to wake up. I thanked her for making the meal, and we instantly dug in. Almost as soon as we started, we were done. I let out a long sigh and just relaxed for a moment, before jumping to my feet.

While Bella cleaned the utensils we had used for eating, I started taking down the tent. It was quite simple to my surprise. The frame was like an umbrella. I just needed to take the cloth off, and pull down on a piece of metal connected to the center pole. All the other ones would fold up, and that was it. Best tent ever. When I lived on Earth, I had gone camping a few times, but it always took forever to set up a tent. I really liked this one.

Anyway, we finished packing up and set out toward the village that was our destination for today. We descended the hill we had set camp on and continued our way across the grassy plains. Before we left Desil, I was worried about tics in the grass, but when I thought about it, I'd yet to see a bug, even a fly a since coming to this world. When I asked around in Desil, I found out that it was only in the big cities where monsters never came close, that you could find bugs. It seems most monsters could kill bugs just by living. There was something about monsters that naturally killed bugs, and I was grateful for that.

A few hours into our second day of travel, Presence Detection picked up a strange signal. Whatever it was, it was staying still and seemed to be injured. I looked at Bella and she nodded in agreement. We would check it out.

Once we got closer, I noticed a small clearing in the grass up ahead, right where the presence was coming from. Bella wielded her staff and I unsheathed my sword as we crept closer. We bent down so we were level with the grass, making it harder for others to notice us.

We finally got to the clearing and to my surprise there was a man passed out in the clearing. From our side, he appeared to just be sleeping, but when I got closer, I saw he was bleeding from his shoulder and upper back.

I quickly took off the bag from my back and took out a potion of healing and quickly poured it over the man's injuries. Before our eyes, his injuries closed up. It was creepy to watch. His skin crawled like it was alive and slowly connected with itself. The blood that had hardened around the injury slowly peeled off and the raw skin quickly changed to a healthy color.

Bella and I decided to stay a bit and find out what kind of man he was, so we took out our pot and started making a small fire so we could cook lunch. We made the clearing where we had found the man a bit larger but cutting down the grass, and found some stones to surround the fire with so the entire plains didn't catch on fire. It was my turn to prepare the meal, so Bella was on watch to make sure nothing came near while I was cooking.

An hour later, we had a nicely seasoned meat roast with some minced vegetables mixed together, somewhat like a salad without dressing. We had both just started eating when the man finally twitched. He had probably smelled the delicious scent of the roasted meat. We cautiously raised our weapons and I tried talking to the man.

"Hey. Um, sir. What happened here?" I lightly called out to the man who was finally trying to sit up. It was then he noticed us. His eyes widened at us for a moment, until my words registered in his brain.

In a hoarse voice he said, "Do have some water? I'd appreciate it if you could lend me some." I was surprised at how dry his voice sounded and took out a cup while Bella kept an eye on him. He hadn't answered my question so we were just being safe.

I used water magic to fill the cup, and passed it over to him. He greedily drank the water and let out a refreshed sigh once he was done. "Sorry for not answering your question right away. My name is Tenda Jovian, and I'm an adventurer, rank B. As for what happened here, I'm not sure myself. The last thing I remember was sensing something rushing at me very quickly through Presence Detection, and then I woke up to you two eating next to me." Tenda explained his situation as he took out his ID Card and Status Card from a pocket of his pants to prove his identity.

It seemed most people used their ID Card as proof of their name, while the Status Card was just used as proof of being an adventurer. It made sense, since the Status Card didn't show any information without opening the overlay.

"Wait, are you THE Tenda Jovian, the one who has the alias of Flamehand?!?" Bella jumped up like a little child after hearing his name. I nearly laughed out loud at that, but stopped myself before she noticed.

"Yes, that would be me." Tenda readily admitted to her question.

"We are headed to the nearby village. Would you like to come with us?" Bella asked, clearly hoping he would join us.

"That's perfect. I was on my way to Gryffon before I was attacked anyway. If you are willing to have me along, I'd greatly appreciate it." He replied with a smile.

For an adventurer ranked B, he was a nice guy. I didn't get the feeling that he was one of those adventurers that would pick on others just because he had a higher rank.

In the end, Tenda joined us on our way to the village. To pass the time, Bella asked him to tell us stories of his adventures, which he accepted after a bit of prodding. He was quite the adventurer in all honesty. The fact that he had an alias should have been proof enough of that, but I didn't know how that worked until he explained how he was named Flamehand.

 Many hours later, the village entered our vision. It was already dark as we entered the village of Gryffon.

"Where am I?" I asked the woman standing before me.

"About that... It seems you died while I was playing with some lightning... Sorry." She apologized much to my confusion.

"So... I'm in Heaven?" I asked, confused as to how I should feel.

"Only for a moment. I'm sending you to a different world with magic and all that." She said as if it were a matter of fact.

"But I've never played a video game in my life! How will I figure everything out?" I yelled at her, now that she was dropping bombs left and right.

"Eh?!? Well I'm sure you can figure it out. You humans always do." She smiled at me. "Bye!"

"Wait what!?"

And that's how I ended up in a world of magic and monsters.
