Brutality give birth to despair. Despair is a very bleak feeling, only a few people know what true despair feels like, and they will always say. “It’s better to be dead than feel despair.”

“Please!! Plea….Awoo awa!” A naked man tied to an odd entraption in the shape of X, cried the tears of that same despair, in front of him stood an elegant looking expressionless lady, she held the man’s tongue with her 2 fingers. The man didn’t know what was going to happen to him, but seeing the knife approach from the lady’s back, he had a bad premonition.

*Slick.

“AAwooo…*crying* awa puese heh e o!” he felt his mouth filled with warm blood, his tongue has been cleanly cut, the woman discarded the tongue like it was nothing to her side, the man cried and pleaded for help, but no one can hear him where he was now. The woman had taken him in an abandoned building which he doesn’t know, all he can remember was he was walking to home after a date with is new girlfriend, but suddenly his eyes went white and he lost consciousness. When he woke up he found himself bound by this odd entraption without any clothes covering his body, and even with his Hunter realm strength he was not able to even move the thing he was tied to.

Without a tongue and flowing blood from his mouth he could only look at despair towards his captor. He was so scared of the woman that he didn’t even looked her straight in the eye or imprinted her face in his mind, his sensors were all already numb due to pain.

The woman took out a syringe and injected a drug into her victim that made the blood flowing from his tongue stop. From her expression, she wasn’t even interested in what she was doing in the least, instead for her it seemed like it was just a boring chore she had to do.

Though the flow of blood has stopped, but the saliva and snot from his mouth didn’t stop, his eyes were already dried of tears now. The woman taking out an odd kind of equipment which was without any stain and looked almost new. She silently stood up and started placing and connecting each part of the equipment to her victim’s body.

“Whah yo houinh!” spoke the scared man while spitting blood from his mouth.

Seeing that the man spoke again, she silently took out a sewing kit and closing the pitiful man’s lips with her slender fingers before he can speak again. She sewed his mouth shut with a thread with metallic tint, if the man tries to open his mouth again, it will turn his lips into a comb. From this one can tell that she hated hearing her victims and what she hated most will come later.

Seeing that the man couldn’t speak again, she silently connected each piece of torture equipment to his body in a graceful manner. If someone were to look her now, they will find each of her movements beautiful for some reason, even though what her movements depicted were horrific to even imagine.

The man could only look and thought what the future would hold for him.

Does he even have a future anymore? Maybe this is it.

As the whole equipment was connected, he looked like someone wearing Iron Armor which showed too much skin, even his private part was connect to an odd horror inducing equipment.

She then took out a pouch filled with blood and drugs and connecting it to her victim’s neck.

The woman gently set up a video camera in the middle of the room with a live feed to somewhere. Then bowing gracefully to her victim with one hand on her stomach showing a bizarre courtesy. She went out of the room.

What is going to happen next does not worry her at all.

Getting out of the room, in front of her a holographic interface showed up with 9 mails in notifications and an odd button to begin the sequence.

Opening the first mail.” 50k credits have been added to your account from xxxxx source.” She blinked her serene eyelids while shifting her eyes to the button clicking it.

Then she continued to browse the other mails, the other one was just advertisements and click bait besides one of them.

“Money for the job 40k credits. Job is to torture a girl and break her mind. Details of the job will be given after accepting a job.”

The woman after thinking for a while and seeing that her schedule was not busy, directly clicked and messaged her handler to accept the job. She had nothing better to do.

After half an hour, she received an update of the previous message. ”Don’t kill him!”

She didn’t like this message, her original job was to torture the man to death, but it seems like the customer has changed his mind. Without any thought, she entered the room to find the man still barely alive.

His stomach was wide open, his nails have left his fingers, his scalp was removed from his head and blood drenched his whole face, his limbs were penetrated with various drills that were still drilling slowly, his eyes were devoid of life, but bare breathing could still be heard. The mouth which was previously sealed with metallic thread was now open, his lips were mutilated beyond comprehension in a zig-zag manner.

“Please kill me!” even though his tongue was cut, his mouth still worded out this sentence clearly to convey his real feelings to his captor.

Maybe this pain may only end with his life.

He remembered his family, his mother who always stuffed his stomach with her cooking, his father who always gave him good advice, and his childhood friend who he loved but couldn’t ever convey his feelings to, instead he focused of the girls beside her. His dream of becoming someone great so that his future children can look up to him, but due to it all being shattered after just getting captured by one woman, he can only cry.

Without him knowing as his senses were already numb with pain, his entrails were all over the floor.

How can a man in his state even live? Even though his whole body was broken to the peak, the needle the woman had put in his neck keep injecting drug and blood to keep him alive, it was a spirit medicine that though multiplied the pain felt, but also kept the victim from dying. It was a great drug used in intensive care unit. But now it was used by a sadistic torturer.

“Sorry! But the client has told me to keep you alive.!”

Taking out the same metallic thread while sealing the man’s mouth, she got closer to the man.

Keep me alive?

Hahaha” Hahahhaaa….hahaha…hahahahaa………………”

The man has gone mad, that was the last thing he wanted to hear.

Fuck this world.

After completing his class, Tommy went straight for his trainer. He doesn’t waste his time, he only surpassed Law by a slight margin and he also wouldn’t lie that he felt a little superior to his peers, his increase in SC was the result of his hard work and the drugs provided by his father.

And as it only had been 30mins after the end of Sura’s one-sided brutal fight, the news has already spread throughout the campus, but for the students of section A, matters of lower sections doesn’t mattered to them.

But.

*Ring

In front of his face a transparent interface appeared, a new news was trending in the school news board. He clicked it without thinking much about it “Crotch Crusher vs Jojiro The Slaughter”

Tommy’s complexion instantly went dark, he slowed down his speed.

Jojiro! Everyone in the section A knew of him he was the closest to entering their section in fourth year.

Does he slaughtered that trash?

Soon a wide smile appeared on Tommy’s face. Though the matters of that weakling shameless bastard doesn’t worry him anymore, but for some reason he always felt his emotions being played with while seeing that weakling.

What does this mean?

Tommy didn’t know. He directly opened the video, though he was surprised to the big physique of Sura and after the first min of the video the things happened as he predicted, but the latter half of video what got his emotions in chaos.

He looked at the crying figure of Jojiro who was rolling on the floor, and Sura who didn’t stop, instead continued beating him ruthlessly.

How can that trash grow in such a small time?

Not possible! He belonged to section D, he can’t become someone who easily beat up the strongest section B student. Tommy felt his face get hot, he was very much elated that he had surpassed his peers in SC in just 3 weeks, and thought himself even superior than Deesio his childhood friend who always walked in front of him.

His fist clenched tight, he was not a bad person, but something in Sura always made him feel uneasy and that uneasy feeling gave birth to his hatred for Sura.

“I need to put that trash in his place myself.”

“Helius Sura! Increase in SC during his suspension time which was only 3 weeks is 58. Belonging to an average household and an orphan. He can barely can afford coming to the academy, so saying that he has used godly drugs is impossible.”

“Something doesn’t look right sir, I have taught him for the last 4 years, and he never showed much promise or potential.”

The principal looked at Sura’s class teacher. He was an old man with white hair, his cultivation was not high, but he had wide variety of knowledge that earned him such a high post in the academy.

What he said was true, Sura had always been average, only showing promise in creation of artifacts and glyphs, his talent in other things were only subpar.

“While looking at his previous record, what you say is truth, something happened to him during these 3 weeks. And we need to find out what that was?”

“Yes sir! I will talk to him.” Replied the teacher.

“Are you that much of a stupid, no one in their right mind would tell you this kind of secret.” And after thinking for a while. “If he has any friends than ask them. As for his activities for the last 3 weeks, we will find them somehow.”

The old man nodded, though if his secret has something to do with the underground organization or devil practitioners then he will be severely punished. That was why this matter was important to find the roots of this event.

If nothing wrong will be found out, than Sura will be considered a true Genius, otherwise, he will be put in jail or even executed, as devil practitioners cultivate through innocent blood, so if Sura has used this way of cultivation, than like all devil practitioners he will be hunted to.

The old man after some more talk left the room.

“But before finding that out. I will need to give the correct punishment to him… the beating he gave the kid although was not that brutal, but it probably will left a deep mental scar in his mind.”

Brohimir, walked while his expression was oddly happy.

“Fuck Helius!”

“I always thought why I never had a girlfriend before his suspension, but now I have a small idea.”

Remembering his talk with Rena just now, he still had his heart beating in a fast manner, he would have been dumped if not for his slapping Sura.

“So it was always that guy! I knew that a charming guy couldn’t remain single.. it was all because of that guy.” Brohimir wanted to curse Sura, but couldn’t due to being his best friend.

“Fuck… I will leave Rena if what she wants..” Looking at the sky with a warm feeling in his eyes. “Bros before Hoes.” If Rena left me… I will find someone who isn’t scared of Helius. There are various girls in the world, but there is a deficiency of good friends.

Rena-O-Rena

Don’t come between 2 friends.
