A little while before Megat and Shiro arrived at the battle, they had just teleported into the city. Megat immediately searched for Matthew’s signature.
“Found him. There’s someone else there too.” Megat said to Shiro as he was just about to sprint towards them.
“Hold on Megat.” Before he did, a familiar voice stopped him. Megat knew exactly who it was.
Megat turned around and found the man in a blue suit standing in front of him with a pink haired girl in his arms.
“Loki, what have you done?” Megat asked him.
“My plan is going smoothly.”
“Your plan? Your plan was to make Matthew go through that again?!” Megat honestly wanted to punch the man but knowing that he would drop Rose made him hold back the urge.
“I understand that you are angry and that this is not th
“I’m sorry.” Megat apologised to Matthew.Matthew was sent crashing into the streets where he was still being pressed. It was like the gravity around him had been increased by many folds.Megat slowly descended and landed his feet on the street. Megat’s sorrowful expression on his mask annoyed Matthew as if it was mocking him. Matthew mustered up strength and focused his astra into his arms and legs. Slowly, he was able to push himself off the street and almost stood up.Megat did not take any chances. He cancelled his ability on Matthew which threw him off. In the fraction of a second that Matthew was unstable, Megat punched him so hard that he crashed through multiple buildings.Despite being hit so far, Matthew almost instantly recovered and was in front of Megat in a second. Megat switched to [Jolly] and dodged Matthew’s attack.To his surprise,
A few days laters…News about the rise of a demon in the middle of the city spread around the world. The individual known as Matthew Dragunov had caused 17 reported kills and the destruction of 10 houses and 4 shops and damaged a total of 23 other buildings.A bounty was officially put on said demon’s head for 5,000,000 Bytes. This made many bounty hunters and Hunters in general excited because of the prize. This bounty was equal to taking down a Giga class monster. Of course, it would also mean it would be just as dangerous. However, that would not stop them.Aside from that, rumors about the return of an ex-Legendary rank Hunter including their members had also circulated quickly. The executives and the president especially were always questioned by other Hunters and reporters who were looking for a scoop.Cecilia returned home shortly after the event, traumatized after what she experi
“Yo Metil, pass me the sauce will ya?” Jovanic held out his hand ready to accept a bottle of red liquid. Metil on the other end, handed the bottle to Jovanic over Hinata who was just quietly eating her bowl of rice with beef slices.“I want some too.” Jade held his plate out across the table for Jovanic to pour some sauce in it.“Oh, here!” Jovanic poured the sauce onto the plate which almost covered the entirety of the steak on it.“Wait, wait! Too much!” Jade pulled his plate away before Jovanic could pour anymore. Jovanic only laughed hysterically.“Jovanic Bonnivierre, don’t be wasteful or else you’ll do laundry for the entire month.” Marlin, who was still in an apron with a spatula in her hand, scolded Jovanic who was acting like a child.“No, wait! Fine, I’m sorry.” Jovanic apologised
Matthew and Susan finished their meals after everyone else had already left. They picked up the plates and put them in the sink to be washed. Susan and Matthew stood side by side at the sink, scrubbing and rinsing the dishes together.Matthew was quicker and more efficient in doing his chore than Susan. “You know, we used to always do chores back in our house.” Susan started speaking.“Excuse me, our house? When the hell did you live with me?” Matthew asked.Susan chuckled. “Haha, we were in an.. Academy, I guess. You, me, Megat and a bunch more other kids. Our batches were divided into houses and we were in the same house.” Susan paused to put a plate on the rack. “As any school goes, they tend to make students do chores here and there. You would always volunteer and Megat and I would get dragged with you.”“Oh, uhh sorry about that.”
Metil was chatting with Azazel out in the open outside of the house just by the sidewalk. Matthew closed the front door behind him and walked over to them. Both of them noticed Matthew approaching and stopped their conversation.“Sorry, did I interrupt something?” Matthew apologised seeing that they turned their attention to him.“No, it’s fine. We were just talking about some random things.” Azazel said.“I was waiting for you actually, boss was just keeping me company.” Metil said.“Well, I suppose I should take my leave now. You two have fun.” Azazel reached up to pat Metil’s shoulder and left Matthew and Metil alone.“You too boss.” Metil said before Azazel went inside the house. Then he turned back to Matthew.Matthew had to tilt his head back a bit to look at Metil’s face. Mat
Rose woke up in a room. It was already bright outside as the white sunlight shone through the open window. She felt a slight pain in her head, probably from being hit earlier. She remembered everything.Judging from the time of day, at least an entire day had passed. This room was unfamiliar. The walls were made from wood while the furniture was very simple. The window showed the scenery outside. The area was surrounded by trees and there was also a faint sound of water flowing, a river perhaps.Rose did not know where she was but she knew she must get out of there. She got out of bed and checked herself. It seemed that she was unharmed. She reached for the door and opened it.To her surprise, there was someone already standing behind the door. The man also seemed surprised as well.“Oh, so you’re up-”“[Wind Blast]!”“Uwaa
“You will fight with him.” Loki said while pointing his index finger at Rose.Rose was stunned. It would take a long time to know what Loki meant, however, Rose was confused by the way he said it.“What do you mean?”“You will support him in the front lines, possibly directly against the Scarlett King if needed.”“But how?! Even so, I don’t want to do that. We’ll both be killed!” Rose shouted at him.Loki maintained his calm demeanour and explained to Rose. “Everything that happened has a meaning. A reason. Fate had decided for the two of you to come to this world. Coincidentally, the Scaletts also arose during this time. It is no coincidence, it is fate.”Rose was not one to believe in such things as fate. It was ridiculous to believe that fate had anything to do with it.
In Cecilia’s mansion, Yuki was leaning against a wall beside a door that led to Cecilia’s room. Her parents were inside, trying to cheer Cecilia up who was currently traumatised.Voices of her parents constantly trying to persuade their daughter could be heard. Yuki’s heart felt heavy hearing them.The door opened and the parents came out of the room looking worried.“How is she?” Yuki asked the parents.“She’s fine, thankfully. I believe she just needs more time to calm down more. It was her friend that caused her fear after all.” Gustav gave his explanation.Yuki sighed in relief. “I can understand that. Even from way out here, I was also shaking. Cecilia who was right there with him must’ve been petrified. The amount of power displayed could reach even the ends of the world.”Gustav and Emil
