《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 5 : The Mysterious Man
Advertisement
After the warnings Hartsen~Sensei gave me, I have found a new idea to beat him. This time I will try to apply it into the next battle as so I decided to train with my gear a bit more. "The weakest, and the strongest? God what does that hermit mean?" I tried to summon my Soul Emifer but still it didn't work. "Why won't it work! Lets see, the old hermit said to think about something you want to do badly, right? ok!" I then thought about training. Then when I called my SE it still didn't work. "Damnit! Whats wrong now! I thought about something but it didn't work. Maybe I should think of something else?"
With this i tried once more and to my surprise my SE finally came. Once I summoned it, a man in pure black came up to me and said, "Well done! Now come with me, or die!" I was confused, as I have never seen anyone like him before so I asked him who he was and all he said was "Are you coming or not?" and as usual I was confused like heck. Then finally I decided why not train with him. So I changed my SE into a gun and tried to bulldoze my way through him.
"Oh, so your That guy! You have a pretty high bounty in the underworld. Should I kill you, or take you? I wonder." He said and he came up to me and with his own hand stabbed my stomach and then I vomited blood. "W-h...o T...he.... He....ll.......Ar....e....you?" I said in a have dead tone. "Oh not someone special, I simply came to escort you back to where you belong." and when he came to take me, the Old Hermit came out of nowhere and said, "Come on Johnny! I leave you to go home and you're already half dead. What does a guy have to do to teach a dumbass pupil?" He said and then he called out his SE or so I thought. The Man simply said, " Oh Hello Hartsen, Its been a while, but sadly its not your turn to go, so ill just be taking Johnny and leaving, have a good day! "

As He went to pick me up, Hartsen~Sensei came and attacked him with his own hands, and left a gaping hole in his stomach. " You remember what you used to say, to never underestimate an oponent? well you broke your own words you fool!" and as he said that, the gaping hole regenerated and it was as if he was never hurt. "You can't be! You can't be him! You aren't him! So die!" Hartsen~Sensei said, in a monocholy tone, as if tears were coming out of his eyes he said, " Who are you!"
This entire time i was just sitting there coughing out blood like some useless maggot, and I felt like a useless maggot. As so I tried to will myself to go and help but to no avail. Then I remembered that my SE has gone yet, so with all my effort I tried to make a clone of Hartsen~Sensei with some of it and 2 swords with the clone. With that I fainted and had no idea what happened. I heard some crying and then someone said,"Wakey, wakey! It's time to test on your body!"
After I recovered, it seemed like I was in a sick bed, you know, those beds in the clinincs. With that I realized that Hartsen~Sensei couldn't beat the masked man. The same masked man showed up and said, "Don' fret boy. He tried as hard as he could but he was no match for me. Don't worry, we just need to dissect a few organs okay? " and with that it felt like I was in the governement's building the entire time. Sure, they treated me nice, but the hours of labour and training got to me , and I was a young child at that time!
They then gave me a few pills that helps with numbing and then they gave me a sleeping pill. I then dozed off. I heard that dreams of someone who could use a SE is destined to come true one day, and all I saw was Tou, me , and Jennifer , dead where an old man, who kind of looks like Hartsen~Sensei , was smiling and had blood on his hands. I then woke up and the masked man told me the dissecting is complete.

"Well, it seems like your body is normal, which is bad. So we simply transplanted a few of your organs with others and removed some permenantly like your liver and those small ones, as your SE can do those jobs. Now two things will happen, either you will die in about a minute , or you wil survive and everyday your SE will get stronger even if you do nothing, but its best not to over-exert yourself or you may as well die." He said. I was still furious about what he did and what happened so I said, "Why the hell did you do that? Once I recovered fully , I will beat you to a pulp for what you did!" He then started laughing, and with a killer grin he said , " You? Think you can beat me? Hell, you haven't been able to even touch Hartsen, and I defeateed him, you still think YOU can beat someone like ME!"
I was very angry at that point and even if I was to die I knew I had to shut his trap. So I decided to call out my SE and his grin turned straight into a poker face. "Boy, do you want to die?" He simply said, but at this point I didn't care. I split my SE into 6 parts, 4 guns and 2 swords, and I aimed the guns mid air and shot him, and I thrusted the swords to him, yet not one single thing even hit him. "If you can barely control one weapon, why do you think you can control six weapons! Man , Hartsen~kohai was right, you are a shitty brat." With that sentence I realized who he was. " You are, Hartsen~Sensei's Teacher?" and he nodded in approval.
"Now listen to me very carefully sonny. Now lets make a bet shall we? If you were to touch me, you win, else you lose. If you win, I'll personally teach you my best moves at the beginning, but if you are to lose, I am to consider you as a beginner of using the SE and I'll put you through intense training." With this I continued wondering whether he is a good person or a bad. This Mysterious man is becoming more and more mysterious, but I can understand what happened. Hartsen~Sensei probably appointed this guy to teach me and everything that happened before was an act.
With learning all this i accepted his terms and conditions and got ready to train with him till I drop and die. "I wil kill Jennifer, and I will avenge you! Now, lets get this started old man!" and with that I charged at him to attack. Now I wonder who will come at the top, and I was pretty sure it was him.
