*Slap*

*Swrooosh*

Dan is beaten down to the ground.

*Cough* *Cough*

“Where is the witch?!” Umba questions Dan with an evil smirk.

Dan gets back on his feet. He’s nose is bleeding. There is blood over his forehead as well. It seems his hand is heavily hurt too. Dan is breathing heavily as he gets back up.

*Swoosh*

*Smack*

“Guh!” Dan spits out blood as he is sent flying towards a tree in the back by Umba's fist.

*Smash*

“This battle...It never was something I would have won...At least not with the strength I currently possess...” Dan thought to himself, “I have to do something and do something before I get killed here.” Dan continued to think as he got back on his feet.

Umba picks up Little Dan by his collar, “Let’s see, how much pain you can endure before you break.” Umba says with an evil smirk as hugs Dan’s body tightly. He slowly begins to crush Dan’s body.

“GYAAAAAAAA!!!!!” Dan screams as he’s eyes begin to tear up from the pain that his body is experiencing.

“What a weak little body!” Umba says with a smirk as he continues to crush Dan’s body and by every moment, Dan’s scream kept on getting louder and louder.

“Sir...I think so that’s going too far, isn’t he just a little boy?” A person from the mob says to Umba.

“Little boy or not, he is co-operating with a witch and anyone who is co-operating with a witch shall see nothing but death!” Umba says with an evil smirk as he keeps crushing Dan.

*Tap*

Something catches Umba’s face, “Huh?”

*Swing*

Then throws him away from Dan.

*Swish**Bang*

“Dan, are ya okay Dan?!” A familiar face shows up as she holds Dan in her arms, “Mama Serena...”

Dan closes his eyes, “DAN!” Serena quickly checks for Dan’s heartbeat and leaves a sigh of relief.

*Menacing*

“What the-“

A huge amount of dark aura begins to shred out of Serena, “Evil witch, this witch, that witch, witches do this, witches do that, witches do evil things, I don’t care whatever ya all call us witches or do to us but how...HOW DARE YA HURT AN INNOCENT LITTLE KID?!!!!” Serena looks to be more than just angry.

“Look who’s talking, a witch talking about innocent people when they themselves kill people. You witches are nothing less than some evil bitches that kill innocent people. You all deserve to die.” Umba says with an evil smirk.

Serena holds Dan in her arm as she gets back up, “Ya know I always hold back on ya people because I never meant to harm ya but...Harming my Lil Dan was the biggest mistake of ya all’s life.” Serena’s strong mana begins to reflect via the dark aura that she is giving out.

“Tsch!” Umba seems to sweat.

“WE ARE REALLY SORRY FOR UMBA’s ACTIONS!” A familiar voice speaks from behind Serena.

Serena turns around while holding Dan.

The people were none other than Mayor Green, Jake and Carly who are all riding Groloph.

Serena looks angrily at all three of them.

“DAN!!!!” Carly screams as she quickly gets down and runs towards Dan with tears in her eyes.

“WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?!” Carly asks with a concerned tone.

“He’s fine but ya all’s people really put him through fucking hell.” Serena says as she looks angrily at Jake and Green.

“AND I WILL SEND YOU TO THE REAL HELL!!!” Umba says as he rushes towards Serena.

“Fuck off.” Serena says as Umba’s eyeball pops out of his right eye.

“Wind Magic: Silent slice.” Serena silently says as Umba falls onto the ground holding his right eye.

“GYAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!” Umba screams in pain, “MY EYES! MY EYES! ME EYES!!!! IT HURTS! IT FUCKING HURTS!!!!” Umba keeps on screaming.

PRESENT DAY,

“What happened then?” Elena asks me. I look at the sky, “Umba was banished from the city by Mayor Green and Mayor Green granted Mama Serena a permit to enter the city. He gave her the citizenship of this city. Slowly people begin to see Mama Serena as one of their own and not just a witch. Carly and I were known as the problem children of the witch since we always hung around her and we also created lots of problems for different people.” I say with a smile. Remembering the last time I saw her was before leaving this city. All she said to me was, “Ya can come back to my place anytime because Mama will be waiting for ya.”

“Mister Handsome...” Elena looks at me.

What’s this? I am losing the strength to stand. I fall on my butt to the ground, “Sir Dan!” Elena holds me as I look at her...I look pathetic...I can feel the water that is flowing down both my cheeks, “She was my mother...For an orphan like me, for someone who had no family except for a brother...For someone who had never had a mother’s love...It was the first time, I had felt like I had a mother...” I can feel it in my heart, it's breaking apart...I have lost someone precious to me.

XXXXX

I have never seen Mister Handsome like this before. He was always calm, collected, smiling at his students, overconfident about things. Even though I don’t know much about him, this is not what I expected him to go through..,.Oh I know!

“Father always does this to me when I am sad.” I say to Mister Handsome as I hold his face near my chest and soothe his head.

He cried for quite some time until he finally calmed down.

XXXXX

“I must have looked quite pathetic, right?” I ask Elena.

Elena shakes her head and smiles, “I understand how you are feeling, Mister Handsome. If my father or mother died, I would also cry as you did. I feel like you are even stronger than me because you held it in you for quite some time. I think if someone even says that my family died even as a joke, I would have a breakdown unlike you. That’s why you aren’t pathetic, it just shows, you are just as humane as us.” Elena says with a smile.

“I see...” I still feel sad but...Elena’s words were quite calming.

“Anyways, why did you ask me to come with you, Sir Dan?” Elena asks me.

“Hmm? No Mister Handsome?” I ask with a surprised face.

“Do you like being called Mister Handsome?” Elena says as she giggles as if she is teasing me.

“I don’t mind being called either...” I say with a cold face.

“Is that so? How about ero-teacher?” Elena asks me.

“Huh?! Where did that come from?” I question.

“I mean you did say you are a total perv and you also told us about how you masturbate in your shorts teach.” Elena is surely teasing me, alright then.

“If I am a perv, I might try and take advantage of you.” I say with a smirk.

A moment of silence,

...

...

...

“PFFFTTTT!!!!” Elena bursts in laughter, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

“What’s with that?!” I question Elena.

“It seems like you are back to normal Mister Handsome.” Elena says with a smile.

“Hmm?”

She isn’t lying...That was a very...Normal reaction from me right now, did she?

“Mister Handsome, you are pretty cute when you smile.” Elena says with a smile.

“HUH?! Where did that come from?!” I am getting flustered here because of her.

“Coming back on track, why did you want me to come with you?” Elena asks me.

“Oh right, about that...” I pull a few pieces of short hairs out of my back pocket, “I had found this hair in Mama Serena’s hands. Can you track these hairs and tell me an estimated distance of where the guy right now is located?” I ask Elena.

“That’s a simple job!” Elena says with a smile

Elena sniffs the hair, “Smell of blood, I don’t like the smell but...If I had to say about a familiar smell, it’s coming from the direction South-West. I would say it’s quite far away, if anything it might take 3 to 4 days to get there on foot.”

“Three to four days, there is a forest in that distance...So they are camping in the forest, if the raid was done recently. I guess, it might take them about the week or more to resupply things and I am sure, another raid will be on the way...But this time, I will protect this city and at any cost!” I say.

"Why do you say that Mister Handsome?" Elena asks.

"They left the people of this city in fear, fear about how strong and mighty they are. That is why they will take advantage of this fear that has instilled in the people of the city and slowly but surely take over the city." Dan says.

“I see...I will help you, Mister Handsome!” Elena says as she looks to be serious as well.

“While at it, I will also help you all train.” I say.

Elena nods.

Whoever did this, whether it be a King or demon, doesn’t matter to me, I will fuck them all up for messing with my place.

XXXXX

Somewhere deep inside a forest, in a big tent, “Sir, when are we raiding next?” A man asks a bulky old man with an eye patch.

“We move out tomorrow in the morning. It’s time, to take this city for ourselves and no one is out there to stop us.” The bulky man gives an evil grin.

“The Witch is done for, now, only if I could also kill that kid who was with the witch, oh boy, wouldn’t I enjoy it!”

The man is none other than Umba himself!
