Ben 10 Porn Story: No More Heroes Chapter 8

Sorry for the late update. The public internet in the library (which I often exploit to use the internet without paying) is still down and my own internet network is so darned slow and clunky. Anyway, Richardson Tennyson is dead… kidding, just kidding yo! :D. But he will not appear until the very late chapters. But hes hiding somewhere, so keep looking for him, alright?

Disclaimer: I have to be crazy to do this for every chapter. I dont own Ben 10, happy?

Chapter 8

Jasmine Stallingard

Jasmine Stallingard had mastered three martial arts: karate, taekwondo, and the Caninoids martial arts: Reinwolf. But Colonel Won-Lee, as he called, was using an unknown style of fighting. If her style involved slow swaying movements and circular pattern, his fighting style incorporated fast steady movements and straight move pattern. Swaying movements had its advantages because it was harder to block and made the user easier to evade attacks, but it did not have advantages of power.

She also had Reno, the base operator, to search for any information that would help her on letting Heatflame Hellfire to escape three month prior to mission. The annoying jerk managed to obtain the blue-print of the detention facility in just five minutes, along with other necessary information she might need along the way. He also warned her about several high ranking officers that might rush in during the execution of the plan.

And the most annoying fact was he warned him about Colonel Won-Lee Li-Hyuan and Lieutenant Hailin Frost. He even informed her about the possible weakness and strength of the high ranked officer and stated every possible way to defeat, but, she had deliberately ignored his annoying lecture which proved to be highly useable in this kind of situations. She could literally hear the redhead saying what did I tell ya? Im a bad man, yo. Okay, so it wasnt exactly an I told you so, but it was close enough and more annoying.

She took out her pocket knife, which she had use as her main weapon as Won-Lee conjured a long spear from his sleeve, which mean his sleeves were a Four-Dimensional Storage System in disguise. This rare system could store literally everything inside it, even a Carrier-Class ship. The white haired young woman then countered the side-strike from the spear with the blade of the knife, it wasnt effective, but enough to avoid getting her skull cracked.

Won-Lee didnt stop or showed any sign of mercy. He seemed to be an expert at jump techniques and kicks which was aided by his spear because it acted as a pole to increase the power and height of his jump. Jasmine could literally feel the wind and heard it whistle that that Won-Lee created each time he attacked and that was bad. If her opponent succeeded on landing a hit on her it would certainly break her bone or, if he struck her pressure point, it could be even worse than a broken bone.

Heatflame couldnt help either, he was busy exchanging hit and elemental attacks with a pale young woman with blue hair. Heat attacks consisted of lunging, swiping, and pouncing like a wolf or a grizzly bear while Hailins attacks were gracefully delivered without balling her smooth hand into fist. Jasmine could smell the burning metal and felt her hair drying out as Heat emitted a stupendous amount of heat from his body which was countered by the icy temperature that Hailin produced. The clash between Heats flame power and Hailins frost power also created some kind of electrical charge that slowly, but steadily built on the air. Jasmine already felt the stinging of the electricity on her delicate skin. It wont be long before the static electricity zaps them all.

Won-Lee made another upward kick, which barely missed his opponent chin. Jasmine retaliated by a low-sweeping kick, which was easily blocked by the Colonel.

Jasmine switched the knife to her left hand and made a series of stabbing movements, a unique technique from the Reinwolf arts. Won-Lee dodged them with such ease and precision that the knifes blade was only three millimetres from his skin each time he dodged. The young woman noticed that this was done so he didnt waste energy on making unnecessary movements and gives him advantages of making quick attack.

Ive heard that he was an expert, Jasmine thought as she made a back-flip to avoid an upward swipe-like attack. But saying expert is an understatement right now!

Jasmines widened as she spotted an opening on the Colonels seemingly perfect movement. It was located around the collarbone which was loosely guarded. She thrust the knife with all strength she could muster, only to have her hand blocked and twisted painfully by the young Colonel. Reaching for enemy weakness made yourself open for attack, Won-Lee said wisely. Ill give you two choices, surrender, or Ill have to hurt you more than this.

Won-Lees expression didnt match his threats. His expression was an expression of a teenager on their first date and his hold was loosened when Jasmine glared at him. She easily broke free from his grasp and took a battle stance. Now she could see that the Colonel face was furiously red.

Then she remembered a conversation she had with Reno when he gave her the mission. A conversation that she almost ignored completely.

Three months ago…

Kay, Jasmine, Colonel Lee is a Rank Ten Martial Art Master, which mean he probably fully mastered tons of martial arts. Heavy duty black belts and only one step away from being a Sage, Reno explained idly.You are still Rank Three Master, are you sure bout this?

Dead sure, Jasmine replied, even though the prospect of facing a person that was only one step away from having the highest rank amongst martial artist community didnt not excite her at all. A martial artist started as Students, then advances through Apprentice, Master Apprentice, Graduate, Master, and Sage. Each of the title, except Sage, has ten ranks which had to be surpassed if you wanted to get a new title. Just give me his weaknesses and Ill…

Wow, wow, wow, easy there. Won-Lee only has two weaknesses and that aint gonna be easy to use them to clobber im, Reno said, putting another piece of chopped whale meat on his mouth. But did ya know why Rufus send you instead of the mighty and handsome me?

Because you slacked off on the job again so Rufus told you to stay? Jasmine smirked on her own witty remark that had hit Reno right on the spot. Am I right?

Yeah, that and because youre a girl, Reno explained, winking naughtily. A cute one too.

Oh, you pervert, and with that, Jasmine give the redhead a good hit on the head. Well, it was a kick actually and it left the Base Operator sprawled on the ground.

Im not joking, Reno said after he got up from the cold floor in a half-serious tone and trying to pull his most serious face, which still has his trademarked annoying grin. It was a real breakthrough for the base operator, though. Putting his serious face usually made him sick for three days.See? This is my serious face, which means Im not joking around. If Lee is up against a woman, he held back himself until he was equal to a Rank Five Master. I know you think this is an another episode of Renos Believe It or Dont, but its true, Rufus told me that. And when is the last time hes been lying?

So you sent me because hell shy away from me?

Much worse, kiss him, just on the cheek, and hell nosebleed like crazy. Like what happen when Lieutenant Elizabeth Snipe did when she wanted to punish him.

A mischievous smile formed at Jasmine mouth, Reno had told her that the Colonel was extremely shy towards women and tried to hold back, which was proven because Jasmine felt that she was fighting with a Rank Five instead of a Rank Ten. But she did not expect that his shyness reached this kind of extreme. A new strategy formed in her mind and she didnt waste a second to put it on effect.

Jasmine aimed a flat footed kick to Won-Lee. The Colonel could barely block the kick so he chose to put some distance between them. His moves are degrading as well as his ability to block attacks. Jasmine could see that he was now at the level of a Rank Two Master and he didnt launch any attacks anymore. Jasmine smirked deviously as she closed in to the young Colonel.

She struck with the knife again, but this time, she kept the striking distance close to herself. Lee blocked it by tilting his head sideway and grabbed Jasmines wrist to divert the knife from his face. Jasmine used the blocking position to position her face close to the Colonel. Then she gave her a light kiss on the Colonels cheek.

The result was immediate and beyond her expectation because not a trickle, but a spray of blood from one of his nostrils rained down like a fire hydrant nose, literally. It stained Jasmines white hair before the young Colonel collapsed, blushing like mad and muttering something that suspiciously sounded like embarrassing over and over again. Wow, that was unexpected, Jasmine said, arching an eyebrow. Reno is not wrong with that one, isnt he? Ill to thank him for this.

She looked over to Heatflame, which was standing over the injured form of Hailin, but his expression was far from happy or relieved.

It was an expression of a person paralysed by fear. Heat was staring at a smiling, friendly-looking and somewhat goofy young human teenager with golden hair and golden eyes, no older than fifteen or sixteen in appearance and holding a lunch box laden with food on his left hand. He carried a gigantic sword-like weapon on his back, which doubtlessly a BeamBlade. The part about gigantic BeamBlade was dangerous enough, but Heats fear-filled eyes told her that there was something wrong

bhuelluo, bheaeat (Hello, Heat), the teenager said cheerfully through a mouthful of food. He swallowed the food in his mouth before he continued. Long time no see, I guess?

… Jasmine, run! Whatever you do, dont look back and run! Heat ordered as he instantly transformed into a smaller and thinner horned wolf with the same flame-coloured mane, but his hands and feet transformed into padded paws and he also sprouted a tail with a real flame on the tip of it. The transformations happened so fast that nobody would ever catch the transformation process. Get on my back, Ill explain as we runaway!

Jasmine obliged even though she didnt see any serious threat. Heats new form, although smaller, still has the shoulder height around one and a half meter tall. Jasmine managed to grab hold of the horns before the scarred fire creature started running. Why are we running? He didnt pose any threat! she shouted.

No threat? NO THREAT? Thats Dragonmaster! Hes a super threat! Heat replied fiercely. Ever wonders why we won the Battle of Santurion, the most hopeless battle against the Ectonurite? You know who slaughtered the twenty thousand units that day?

No, Jasmine replied idly.

Heatflame Hellfire

It was him that slaughtered twenty thousand unit from the Ectonurite army. Hes the Immortality Experiment.

Immortality?

Yeah, try sticking up a knife at his head, he wont die, he wont even feel a thing. He was famous because a wise general would order his or her troops to flee at the sight of Dragonmaster amongst the enemy rank, Heat said as he kept on his pace. He might look like a teenager, but it was normal, hes a teenager for quite a while now.

Jasmines grip on his mane tightened as Heat made a sharp turn. Just how long quite a while is? she asked, although Heat got a feeling that she was asking a trick question.

Sixty five years, he only took that adolescent form because he liked it. If he wanted to look like an adult or an old man, he can too, he replied. Heat could literally smell his saviour disbelief when he said the previous statement. I know, I know, you wanted to say immortality is impossible. But being immortal in scientific point of view is just making your body continuously regenerate themselves, and some species had actually done it.

Each cell in our body could only split in limited amount of time, thirty six times on human, to be exact. In Dragonmasters case, his cell could split up in unlimited amount of repetition and thousand times faster like the Thep Khufan and Florauna (Wildvine) combined together, therefore, stop him from aging and grant him the immortality. In addition of not aging and not dying, he also cannot feel pain, immune to any diseases and poisons known, change his appearance, and have beyond superhero level amount of stamina, Heat explained. Believe me; you wouldnt want him to go against you.

Oh yeah? said the Dragonmaster cheerfully. Dont you think you said too much, Brigadier General Hellfire?

Heat almost had a heart attack when he saw that Dragonmaster was running alongside them with ease and still keeping his smiling and laughing face. You know, I have a real name. Dragonmaster is my experiment name and I dont like it, he said. At all, he added after an afterthought.

Jasmine threw her knife at him, which struck the young-looking Dragonmaster on his temple, but he didnt even flinch. He took the bloodied knife off his head and threw it carelessly over his shoulder and at the same time, the wound was rapidly closing. The wound closes in just one second after it was made with absolutely no trace of any injuries. Uhh, you know that playing with knife is dangerous, right? So please dont throw knife at me, save me the trouble from regenerating, he said lightly with a slightly disappointed face as Jasmine stared at him in a mixture of disbelief and horror. And staring at people is not polite and unladylike, you know.

He then reached for the immense BeamBlade from his back. Heat knew whats coming so he switched from Speed form to his Heavy or the form that he usually uses, to take advantage of the distraction Jasmine created. He caught an overhead pipe to stop him instantly so he could make an extremely tight left turn. The Hangar No. 3 was only two hundred meters from this point so he switched to Speed form again.

But the Dragonmaster was instantly materialized right in front of him and he was not smiling anymore. His golden eyes glared with a glare that made Heats body unable to move. He didnt waste any time to unsheathe his oversized weapon and with a movement that even Heats sharp eyes could barely see, he seal down the exit by collapsing the ceiling of the corridor.

The immortal teenager sighed as he put the sword down on the floor while he himself was taking a relaxed sitting position. Its been a while since I use First Blade, he said in a light tone that didnt reach his dead serious eyes. For further references, I dont use First Blade for anything but to kill.

Oh yeah? a new voice sneered from behind the Dragonmaster. It was a human around fifteen or seventeen year-old, wearing a ragged cloak and glaring with a glare that would surely send adult human to bed with their teddy bear. But the humans supported gills-like slits on his neck and a pair of large blunt fangs protruding from his lower jaws.Well, Experiment Dragonmaster, Im afraid Im taking Brigadier General Hellfire and that girl with me.

Reno Levin

Met the North Base Operator, he says, Reno quoted the Rebellion leaders saying scathingly as he drove his extensively modified car through the Atlantic Ocean. Dont he have the idea that I hate that guy?!

Renos car, the Blue Lightning was an old model of Holden Colorado with some extensive modification such as collapsible wings like the Red Strike have, levitator to help it fly, Nimbus 8 double engines, indestructible metal wheel covering that could be used to cross a river of molten lava, motorized grappling hook, and many other useful modifications. Aaron marvelled at how the South Base Operator managed to find spare time to build the car while operating the base, briefing agents, and hunting for food. Or was it just a sign of him slacking off during the job?

The North Base Operator was almost the exact opposite of Reno. He was calm and considerate, but his temper was as short as the height of a toddler. He would react instinctively if somebody said the word strange or freak, no matter on what context those words were put in. For example, he became livid when you say this food tastes strange.

Heres why he acted like that: he possessed a wide array of mind-related powers and abilities. He could read mind, move objects only by thinking about it, create a transparent barrier, levitate, you name it. The last time the Levin had a fight with him, he beat the schnoz out of the redhead without even touching him. Beside the mind-power, the North Operator also has a super-human speed, reflexes, and agility. Not quite a Kineceleran (XLR8), but close to a very, very fast cheetah.

The radio receiver on the dashboard crackled after another three hours of flying and it started receiving the voice from the North Base Operator. Hey, Reno, long time no see, the calm but sarcastic voice said from the receiver. Rufus told me already, and Ive read your mind too. Dont waste your breath.

How on Hell can you read my mind? Im still thirty five kilometres from your strange head!

DONT SAY STRANGE! the voice yelled angrily from the receiver. Anyway, I could read mind in the radius of forty kilometres if I had to, remember?

Yeah, that was cool, Silver, but dont do it, its just freaky, Reno said scathingly. I dont want my head being invaded by some freaky hedgehog-headed punk!

DONT SAY FREAKY EITHER, YOU STUPID PONYTAIL JERK!!!

What?! Like your hedgehog head is any better!!!

Im not a hedgehog, you jerk!

Whats that ruckus all about? Aaron said as he yawned sleepily. He had been sleeping ever since they left the South Pole. Hedgy, Taily, shadup, I want to sleep….

DONT BUTT IN TO OUR BUSINESS YOU LITTLE AMATEUR! Silver and Reno shouted fiercely at the gunslinger, which was responded by a wide yawn and a snore.

Silver was an Experiment. Experiment no. 122123 or Psychic Experiment to be exact. He ran away from the experiment facility five years ago and met Reno and Rufus on earth. Reno and Silver quickly developed a rivalry because of their skill at handling computers and constructing vehicles. Renos absorbing power and Silvers mind power also became the base of their fierce, far-from-friendly rivalry.

Silver was typing on the computer using his telekinetic power while facing Reno and Aaron and cook their meal at the small kitchen using his power. Like Reno, he was wearing a black suit over a white shirt, but he wore a tie and neatly buttoned the coat so he looked like a hitman more than anything if he wore a sunglasses. Okay, Reno, this is your brother, tell me all about him, Silver said. Or I could read your mind again? Save my ear from trouble.

Okay, where do I start? Reno said in a sing-a-song voice. Lemme see…ISNT THAT OBVIOUS!! Hes a goddamned killer and hes out there looking for my step-cousins!!!

His outburst was answered by an invisible force that slammed him on his face. Shortly afterward, Silver was holding his hand right in front of Renos face and began to read his mind. Reno knew because he saw flashes of his memories as Silver went through his memories and thoughts. Okay, Silverware, cut that out. Youre invading my private zone.

Silvers spiky white-gray hair rustled as he shook his head in dismay. Seriously, I could beat you up like before, wimp, he said, waving a hand to summon a cup of coffee from the kitchen, which he drank without even touching the glass because his power acted as a hand to him. Recently, your brother had killed three agents that were put under my command…

Your command? I thought Base Operator only brief and debrief the agents!

Thats what you get because youre slacking off. You got five agents under your charge and you didnt even notice it? Silver said as if having subordinates was nothing to him. Aaron, Lucian, Jasmine, Cy, and now-missing-Tennyson are all under your charge, stupid.

Oh, so I could tell them to clean my house then?

Thats… is an abuse of authority and I dont think Richard would be pleased to clean your house, Aaron chided in, clearly revolted by the idea of cleaning Renos home. Anyway, you dont have a house. Back to business.

Silver stood from his seat and levitated his way the apparently self-typing computer. Silver didnt do a lot of walking on his feet because he preferred to levitate himself using this power to increase the speed of his movement. But he got strong foot because he kept exercising them even thought he didnt use them to walk much. Your brother is out to kill two remaining Tennyson. But why did he kill my agents? It just dont sum up, he said thoughtfully. However, we got a more pressing matter in hand right now,

A person named Alexander had agreed to help us. He found a way to trace your brother from his last sighting site. I know youre excited, but calm down. He wanted to work alone with is partner, Edward Rhein…

Wait a cotton picking minute, Edward Rhein? You cant be serious, Aaron exclaimed nervously. Edward Rhein destroyed a whole city in one attack, right? Nobody in their right mind would work alongside him.

Alexander is a possible mercenary. No mercenary had a right mind, remember? Silver stated flatly, remembering his days as a mercenary. The problem is, he maintained silence when we asked for his motive and he is a mentally aware person, so he knew if I tried reading his mind, and he has a very strong mental resilience, so telepathic interrogation was useless against him. Thats where the problem is; Rufus said he needed watching because we are not sure about his motives.

An unnatural wry expression crept on Renos usually-jovial face, although his face still has the vivid ghost of his usual grin. So youre going to put me for the job?

Silver nodded, heaving a heavy sigh in the process. Ive managed to put a Mental Marker on him, which enable me to track him no matter where he went unless hes dead, he said. Reno, I could lend you a bit of my power if youre willing. Itll help you to accomplish your objectives. Its not enough to do anything, but enough for you to trace him.

You will be transferred on Bellwood Base, your replacement for the North Base is already on his way, Silver added when he spotted Renos worried expression. I thought would like to leave that iceland.

I like to, but Bellwood meant I would be very, very close to that… woman.

Silver only stared with his eerie silver-irises eyes. Lilia Ariel is innocent. The missing of the Tennyson is an event beyond her control, he said wryly. I thought grin and forgive is your specialty, Reno.

I dont know… its just very hard ever since Richards gone. Hes like my cousin, remember? His ancestor adopted mine and it made him and me a family.

A great silence weighted upon all of them until Aaron childish streak kicked in. Great, its a month before Christmas, and were stuck with some weird mission, Aaron complained loudly, obtaining a furious HEY!! from Silver. Its like Rufus hate us.

No, he hate Reno, not us, Silver said flatly. Make sure you remember that.

Lila Ariel

Lila, are you done with the paper decoration yet? Lilia said as she decorated their pine tree with fairy lights.

The youngest of all Ariel shook her head as her delicate fingers worked furiously to finish the paper decorations for Christmas. The three sisters were preparing for the Christmas day, even Lilith agreed to stay until the New Year Eve to celebrate the holiday with her family.

Lila had a lot of thing in mind than just making paper decoration, but because her lack of ability of speech, she developed a habit of hiding her trouble within her eternal silence. Unless somebody read her mind, she could hide her problems forever.

First, their father wont come home for Christmas. Second, it has something to do with teenaged boy she met during her holiday shopping.

The redheaded boy had saved her from getting hit by a passing car by kicking her out of the way. At first, Lila was angry at him but when she saw the he was actually saving her from getting gravely injured and getting himself a glancing hit from the truck. She felt sorry for herself because she couldnt say sorry or thank you to him for saving her and getting injured in her place. Since then, she could not stop thinking about him and each time his face flashed through her mind, it made her blush.

Lilia however, seemed to be afraid of the new person while the boy, whom Lilia addressed as Reno, didnt seemed to like her at all. In fact, it seemed that Reno hated her and he also used his unpleasant attitude on both of Lilias sisters.

Lila, are you sick? Your face is all red, Lilith voice snapped the fourteen-year-old back to reality. Youre a bit warm too, maybe you should rest.

Lila shook her head and pulled Liliths hand into her own hands. Even though she disliked Lilith for many reason, she had to admit that Lilith was a perfect role-model for all of her sisters. Lilith, can I trust you with my secrets? she traced to Lilith hardened hand. Lila noticed that her eldest sisters hand was filled with blisters and old scars and had hardened skin. It maybe caused by her training or because of her habit of wielding her weapon without gloves. Dont Lilia, okay?

Okay, Lilith said reassuringly. You have a crush on someone, dont you?

Lilith smiled gently when Lilas eyes widened in shock. How did you know? the taciturn girl asked using sign language. Ive never told you.

Well, you started acting like this since that redhead took you home. He complained to me later about why did I leave my youngest sister to walk on a car-laden street by herself, Lilith explained, scratching her cheek as she chuckled slightly. His exact words are Are you out of your tree there!? Dont ever leave your dopey younger sister to stroll around the goddamned street while it was armed with goddarned trucks that wanted to kiss her! Next time, try to watch over her, if there is next time! she imitated the redhead complain.

Lila was awestruck, this Reno did not only save her from being hit by a car, but also lodged a violent complain to ensure her safety for next time. I know, he sounded a bit harsh and swear a lot, but his intention was good and even I could tell that hes kind hearted, Lilith chuckled. I know him too. Youre too young to remember about the Levin family who lived next door to us ten years ago. They moved soon after the war had started and Ive never heard about them until now.

Is he going to school?

I dont know, but he might be, Lilith said. But theres two weeks left of school, well find out soon enough.

Victor Valiant

The Headmaster was doing his bad habit again. He put two new students into the sparring arena the day they start attending the school. One of the students was Reno, the one that almost killed Lilia months ago and the second was an eighteen year old brunette from French National Sports Institution named Jean Luc Francis.

Reno was fighting against Jean at this very moment. He was using a collapsible staff while Pier was fighting using a baseball bat that he wielded like a sword and a hockey stick that he use like a short spear. Jean might look stupid by using sports utility to fight, but he was very, very good at using them. Reno often has a very close call when he countered the attacks.

That French man is good, GEO-1111 said with his usual flat computerized voice. Ive never seen a person that fights like him.

Yeah, but baseball and hockey seasons is over, Victor remarked jokingly. Anyway, Jean seemed to be avoiding Renos touches too. I wonder why.

Hes a Levin, am I right? GEO-1111 said, obtaining a nod from the Transyllian. The Levins family power is inherited by genetic, so Im not surprise if he could absorb power and energy by touch.

Yeah, but Jean looks awfully normal to me, the Frankenstein-alien said as Reno blocked another attack from Piers hockey stick. But Im very surprise that the missing Levin is suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started to live here.

I know, since his last appearance on the Tennysons hospital room, no one ever seen him again until now, GEO-1111 replied, scratching his chin in a thoughtful way. Its like he only surfaces when he wanted to and vanish out of the existence for the rest of the time.

Yep, Victor said. There were things that concerned him far more greatly than how Reno always gone missing. The Headmaster had called him in during the third period and informed him about his assignment. At first, he was sure that no one, except the Headmaster knew about him being an agent for the rebellion movement against the Galliray. But the Headmaster revealed that Richard was an agent when he had gone missing.

The Headmaster told the Transyllian that his best friend hold an important data with him. So as everybody could guess, Victor was assigned to track his best friend down. He was obliged to give report about his progress in a monthly basis, and his reports didnt show any sign of finding the missing key agent. Victor knew that if Richard didnt want to be found, finding him is like talking to a rock and hoping that the rock would reply back. Try to look at his home, it stayed in a complete lock-down, armed and dangerous, and nobody would ever had a chance on hacking the main system of the Tennyson resident. Richard could be hiding there, but the only way to open the home was demolishing it, which was impossible too because Richard had installed defence turrets on the building.

The major problem around here was the lack of clues that the Tennyson left. If there was any, it would be nicely secured on his home or the Tennyson Headquarter near Mount Rushmore. Victor also has a concern about the massive energy reading he had picked up when he scanned the Tennyson Resident for any trace of energy. One reading came from the reactor that powered the resident, but the other come from a rather small object. A human sized object actually.

Hey, GEO, Im off to see the Teacher Lounge, Victor said after a slight pause. I need to give some report to the teacher.

GEO looked at him with his unreadable eye. Victor was sure that the GEOGalvanic was suspicious, but he was so good at hiding it. Well, go on then, Ill tell you the verdict of this fight later.

Victor left the arena immediately. But when he passed to one of the corridor, he felt a cold sensation. It felt like a supernatural being that human called as ghost had just past through him. He looked back and almost jumped because he saw the Russian student, Nichov Stallingard, was walking towards the opposite direction. Victor swore that he never saw him coming from in front of him and the corridor didnt have any door on them. He could not possibly come of nowhere, wasnt he? Unless Nichov had teleportation ability but the Caninoids certainly didnt posses that kind of ability.

Victor shook the cold sensations off, literally. He made a mental note to avoid this particular transferred student. Not just because his strength, but because of Nichov maxed out creepy factors.

The infirmary door lies on the end of the corridor. The door was locked, indicated by the red light on the door lock module. That was unusual to have the infirmary locked during the day.

Victor didnt mind much because Lilia was probably changing her clothes because there was a badly injured patient after the day first Sparing match. Bu then he felt that his iron boots stepped on some thick liquid.

Victor looked up, he thought that the liquid come from the cooling system. But when he looked down, it was clear that it was not the cooling liquid or slime. He was standing on the pool of blood that flowed from the infirmary door. The blood have luminous blue specks which emitted sparks of bluish light before it turned into blood red colour.

Why Anodites mana is in the blood? How un…! Lilia!

Anyway, any critiques are accepted, even the most breaking and sinister ones. But if you send me flame or spam, Ill curse you with endless nagging mails and flames.

Oh, last thing last; this fic is adapted as a webcomic by Whitestar Legacy. You could check it out on Whitestar Legacys Deviantart account. (Yes, Im advertising the comic, anyone complain?) Or you could find the link could be found on Whitestars profile page.
