-Vol 5: A New Life-

-The Pursuit-

Before he ended his call with Yuki, Kenshin knew he was already surrounded by these people. But he wasn’t afraid. So what if their level is high, their stats wouldn’t even come close to his even if all added together. Besides, the amount of skill he had and the diverse way he could use them was also put him in a different league than others. He wouldn’t lose to them even if a few more added together. But he had no intention of killing them all. He would let the DCB and the local police handle them.

“What happened here?” a fat man holding a sword screamed. He was only wearing a pant with his upper body bare, filled with grotesque looking scars.

“Look! The main office! It's in shambles!! What happened?” another well-built man screamed loudly pointing his finger at the mess created as an aftermath of Kenshin, and No’s a fight.

“A fight must have broke! Did the government know about us already? Shit! What will we do?”

“Everyone, careful. It’s the gases…they are poisonous. Don’t inhale them too much…” a fairly old but sturdy man long white beard shouted. All the old man looked dignified, he wore a striped girl’s panty over his head, which destroyed his image and also revealed his nature to others.

The wretched old man’s eye then scanned the surrounding and fell onto two sleeping girls and the young man standing near them looking at him. He couldn’t make out the feature of the young man as he wore a mask, but from his years of experience, he could tell that this man was no ordinary man. A shudder ran through his body as he unconsciously took a step back.

As they say, the older you get, the shrewder you become, it was es[ecially true for this man. He had seen all the darker side fo the society and gradually came to embrace it and became one with it. From his years of experience, he had gained the ability to learn when the situation was going downhill, and today he realized that it was indeed a worse situation to be. Especially standing in the presence of that young man.

“look a man was standing there! He is wearing a soldier’s uniform! Let's get out of here. The police already knew about us” someone shouted from within the crowd and tried to run. But before he could take his first step, a tremor ran through his body. He felt like his whole body was being beaten mercilessly by something. Violently coughing out blood, he fell down on the ground unconscious. As he fell down to the ground, the soldier who was initially standing in front of them was revealed to be now among them.

“Where are you thinking of going? Tonight, none of you will be able to run…your only way out is being arrested.” As the young man announced, the shadow behind him suddenly darkened like pitch black mist. From within them three figures dressed in black clothing and wearing mask crawled out.

“Capture all of them alive. Those who try to run, cut their limbs.” The man in soldier grab ordered and vanished soon after. Then started the massacre below the hanging moon in the sky. This night was bound to be a shocking night for all the people of Mito because next night [Three World’s Public School] was bound to be seized from existence.

Of course, those three people were none other than Kenshin’s zombies that he summoned through the [Summon Minion] skill. He had not used that skill in a long time, so he decided since he was masked and hardpressed for time, he just has to use it. None the less, that skill would be able to summon minions with stats half of his. With his current stats, it was like summoning three levels 100 hunters for his aid. These hunters were bound to have bad lucks tonight.

Kenshin also gave another order to gather all the small girls in the vicinity in one place, and one of them should be there to guard them until he ordered them to. After ordering them, Kenshin ran away to pursue that No 5, leaving behind the three cloaked men in charge.

Kenshin didn’t know it now, but when he returns, he would be in for a huge surprise. Something that would blow his mind away.

Nonetheless, the zombies heeded his orders and started to surround the remaining hunters of the racket, watching over them like halks. Their speed, movement, flexibility…even their actions were like a living human. None of them resembled a zombie, which were supposed to be slow.

Within a scant of a few minutes, all the hunters were rounded and gathered in the middle of the school ground and watched over by two cloaked zombies. One of them went inside the school to complete Kenshin’s second objective.

After coming out of the school, Kenshin ran at full speed following the trail of No 5. According to his map, the marker he left on him was now moving at a very high speed, indicating that either he was running that fast or he was using a mode of transport. Kenshin was willing to lean towards the later.

His 500+ PHY exploded, along with his equal amount of AGI, he was like a wind streaking across the sky. It was his first time running on populated are with his full speed. Kenshin knew with his agility and PHY, he was 50 times faster than an average human. An average human can run at speed between 40 to 45 Kmph…and he was 50 times faster than them in the least. That’s not including his [Highspeed Movement]’s passive.

An average human couldn’t even find his trave with their naked eye. Even CCTV cameras would perhaps fail to record his image, that’s how fast he was running. As he ran fast, very soon the main road came into view, along with many passerby and cars. Unconcerned of them all, Kenshin found a newfound lease, a sense of freedom when he ran that fast. Its as if, nothing in this world could stop him or catch up to him. It’s a strange but exhilarating feeling for Kenshin.

The cars in the road, the passerby, they all excited him like nothing else. It was a challenge to maintain his current speed at the same time not creating problems for any of them, and he was ready to take that challenge.

Eichi was a salaryman working for an MNC. His 9 to 5 job sometimes goes out of hand, forcing him to pull some extra shifts. Today was one of those unlucky days where he was forced to do an extra shift just to meet his deadline. That’s why he was this late. He was living in a rented apartment with his wife and son, their life was good as his salary was enough for them to live in luxury.

This morning, knowing that he would be late, he took his car to office. Now this late in the night, he was driving leisurely to home. Just as he was about to turn a corner, something green came out of nowhere and slammed into his windshield, breaking it into tiny peace.

“FUCK!!!!” startled and frightened, he slammed his foot on the accelerator accidentally. In his disturbed state of mind, he directly ran his car into the opposite wall. The car wailed loudly before breaking down, alarms and sirens in his care started to buzz loudly. The windbag came out of his steering and protected his head from banging into it.

“WHAT THE HELL! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?” he shouted loudly and came out of his car with much difficulty and looked at the body laying on the front part of the car. Coming around he noticed the masked man not budging at all, afraid that he made a mistake, he immediately placed his mand on his mask to open it and check the person’s breathing, but at that time a gloved hand came and stopped him from doing so.

“Please don’t do that!” the man said before letting Eichi go. The man then got up from his position and started to stretch like nothing happened, scaring Eichi even more. Knowing that the man was perfectly fine, he moved his eyes into the car and shouted again like a girl.

“MY CAR! It's gone! My car! Everything’s gone!! It’s so flat! AHH!!” like a wailing widow, he screamed and cried. The front part of the car had become flat, like total flat after banging itself into the wall.

“Hey man! You okay?” the masked man came again, and Eichi had to stop himself from choking him to death. His car, his life savings, was like this and this man was asking if he was alright? From what angle was he alright?

Eichi felt that today was the worst day of his life.
