บท 18: How to train your Alpha (1)

Alfred was standing in front of me and my new assistant, John. Yes, John was the young Alpha whom we rescued. The reason why he is my new assistant is that he is terrible at everything. Well, to be exact, he is not suitable for being a butler. From his earlier look, I'd say he is looking way better. Not nearly as handsome as me, though.
One hour ago, Alfred tested him in various ways. The only thing he seemed to be good at was fighting and hunting. We tried to teach him how to talk, but we failed. Werewolves are so stupid. I wonder how they are taught. I didn't think I would need to write something irrelevant like that. Right now, he can only utter a few words. I am glad that he can understand us, at the very least.
Although my uncle and I gave up, Alfred didn't. He had raised a lot of kids, after all. He raised him just like every other Allen. After five months, he was finally ready to train with me.
"Today, both of you will spar with each other. I have seen that you are too reliant on your speed, young master. So, today, I want you to fight John without your speed. However, you are allowed to use your gun. Werewolves heal fast. And John, you use your strength and your Conqueror's Aura too much in a battle of life and death. Your enemy can break through your Conqueror's Aura if your spirit is not strong enough. So, you can only use your physical abilities to win this battle." said Alfred.
Fighting a werewolf with just my body is going to be difficult. Their physical capabilities are too much for even a D Rank meta-human. A King Rank werewolf can be as strong as an SSS Rank meta-human. From the raid, I have learned that I should never underestimate my opponents. Be it a werewolf or a dog. An enemy is an enemy.
"That's what Sun Tzu said," Ruyk smirked.
'...' I just ignored him. I don't even know why it sounds so weird.
We stood at the opposite ends of the battleground. I should not call it a battleground, exactly. It was just a big field. Large enough for two C Rankers to go on a rampage.
"Start!"
John lunged towards me, partially transforming his arms and legs. He was fast, but I could follow his movements. I quickly aimed at his legs and pulled the trigger. A bullet emitting cold air instantly froze his legs in midair.
'What is that substance? Seems like Nitrogen,' Alfred wondered.
That was Liquid Nitrogen. I had a way to store it inside a bullet. Don't ask me how I did it. Too much chemistry hurts my brain. God, I hate Chemistry. The liquid was stored inside the bullet to make it explode on impact.
John was so confused that he fell on the ground unbalanced. He couldn't get up due to his legs being frozen. He tried to hit his legs on the ground to break free from the ice. It was slow, but there were cracks on it.
I had to act fast before he got up. The same trick would not work on him twice. Werewolves had incredible combat memory. They will never repeat the same mistake twice in a battle. That is why they are so hard to defeat. The more combat experience they gather, the more they will grow.
"Wally, switch to slot 2," I said.
"Switching to slot 2." A mechanical voice came from my back.
I shot towards John two times. Two bullets hit his stomach, shocking him in the process.
CRACKLE
John was instantly knocked out. The lightning bolt was too much for him.
"..." Alfred was speechless. However, he snapped out in a bit. "How did you make those bullets, young master? If you don't mind me asking."
"Too much chemistry. I read so much that my brain hurts," I replied.
"Is that so? You should rest a bit, then. I will take John back to the servant quarters myself," said Alfred. "By the way, what would you like to have for your birthday this year? Since your birthday is nearing."
"... Can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"A question? On what subject?" Alfred raised his left eyebrow.
"It is about my ability," I said.
"The Speed Force?" he asked.
"No, my real ability," I answered.
"I don't understand. What do you mean by that, young master?" Alfred asked.
"The truth is that my real ability is something called Copy," I answered.
"Copy? What kind of ability is that?" Alfred was confused.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but it lets me copy someone else's meta-ability. That night, when I awakened my ability, I accidentally fulfilled the conditions to copy my uncle's ability by getting struck by lightning. I guess that is the reason I survived." I explained.
"Is that so? And here I thought he was Master Thomas's child..." Alfred mumbled.
"You were saying, Alfred?" I asked.
"Nothing, I have never heard of an ability like this... Let me see what I can do. Can you only copy one ability, young master?" Alfred questioned.
"I don't know." I shrugged.
"Hm, you can go rest for now. I will keep that a secret for you. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Alfred." I walked out of the Training Ground.
"Here I thought, the young master was the child of Master Thomas. What a fool I am!" Alfred slapped his head.

"Do you think that he will believe your story?" Ryuk asked.
"He will," I put the pixie dust into the flask.
"How are you so sure?" Ryuk asked.
"Remember when you said that Alfred was the most loyal person to the Allens?" I mixed the pixie dust with the wolfsbane. The colour of the flower changed, along with the smell.
"I do. I also said he was a man of his word," Ryuk replied.
"Then don't worry about it," I said.
"What are you making?" Ryuk asked.
"Edible wolfsbane. Something that will instantly kill a werewolf. The scent of pixie dust attracts a werewolf, and wolfsbane is poisonous to them. Which means this thing can instantly kill any werewolf. No matter what grade they are," I explained.
"Is that your contingency for John?" Ryuk asked.
"As I said, I trust no one," I said. "If he somehow turns his back on me, I will eliminate him."
'I choose the right guy...' Ryuk thought.
