"Not really, I just arrived in the city and I would much rather explore my options." I grin at him.
I'm not scared of him due to the fact that if he kills me for anything I will just respawn, but his power is clearly immense. I can feel it radiating from him.
I have no idea how anyone doesn't notice how strong he is.
I look at this elf who ticks all my hot boxes for wanting to date and expect the stamp to appear in my hand like the contract said it would if i have an intension of going after someone.
but due to the fact that the company dropped me away and I renounced the shit out of it, it doesn't even appear. Testing that with the intension to stamp her just to make sure the damn human-master power is gone, makes my heart relax.
I honestly hate the idea of the company. being recruited by what's basically a interdimensional slavery market, just makes me want to vomit. I'm glad i was able to somehow escape. I know that bitch who made me sign that contract made a mistake. I'm incredably lucky for it.
in the time for 3.6 seconds worth of thoughts, only 1/10 of a second has passed. Looks like I think 36 times faster now that I have thought acceleration.
I see Reinhardt, grin at me as I stop thinking super fast. "No problem, I just need your names for the incident report."
I nod, and say, "Natsuki Subaru."
he nods, saying "Never heard of a natsuki clan from Kararaigai, but sure you aren't lying- your clan must have been destroyed a long time ago."
I shrug at him. "It's been a long time since I had a place I could call home." I'm not even lying. the place with the tv I was staying at was abandoned after the slaughterhouse 9 attacked the city and got it quarantined by the PRT. I was literally squatting there.
He nods, "Welcome to Lugunica. I hope you enjoy yourself while you're here." I turn to the pretty elf-girl.
"You already know my name, reinhardt..." she pouts. "Emelia Elior, Half-elf royal Candidate."
"Okay, good. I'll go process this miscreant." He smiles menacingly at the thief who we never got the name of and shall never be seen again.
he then turns to me. "Subaru. Could you please look after Emelia for a while. If she gets stolen from again, she will lose her right to participate in the royal selection. it's a three strikes policy if you lose the sigil more than twice you are disqualified. She's already had it stolen last week."
I grin at him and give him a thumbs up.
"I'd be happy to escort a beautiful lady to her destination."
---
"Thank you again for helping me get my emblem back." Emelia says, with a small smile while I walk with her towards
I grin at her. "Where are we going anyway?"
She frowns. "I was following you."
"I Thought I was following you though." I say.
I look around, noticing we're in some sort of warehouse district. and there's nobody around.
"We need to go back." I say, getting a bad feeling.
I hear a whistling and I push Emelia out of the way as i dodge a knife with a savage looking edge by the barest of margins. "oh my, you actually dodged that. this might even be slightly interesting."
I get into the first stance of the Over-Nine-Heavens Death-Law martial art, but I don't start refining my body with it.
After all I have a 50% chance of exploding if I start that way and I kind of like how this has gone so far.
I then feel like the save-point has started to move forward. which distracts me long enough to be stabbed in the gut. I jump back, and let my body regenerate very quickly.
"Oh. Are you like me? a regenerating body Much faster than mine...? This might be interesting afterall. My name is elsa granheart, and I'll be claiming your bowels today." she then licks the blade like some creep. "Your bowels taste like... potential."
She grins as my body visibly starts regenerating. "bitch, I think you're crazy, but I'm happy to smash your face in to protect this lovely lady behind me." I say, getting back into the stance.
I hear a new voice say "Well said, You may touch my paws and rub my ears when we are done with this fight, my name is puck and I'm going to freeze your face to the ground!"
Spikes of ice start flying towards the elsa bitch. I use the opening to hit her with a devastating combo of kicks from behind.
Then elsa gets much faster, she cuts me over and over and then I feel my head go flying.

[ERROR]
+1 charge.
I come to, just as I hear puck say, "Well said, You may touch my paws and rub my ears when we are done with this fight, my name is puck and I'm going to freeze your face to the ground!"
I grin, realizing my save point just moved forward. thank goodness. I'm glad I didn't waste an entire day. I do the kick combo from behind her just like last time, Just as elsa picks up speed, I dump a point into a new ability called bullet time. I think you know what it does. I speed up, but not enough to dodge the knife that goes right through my forehead.
[Destination]
[ERROR]
+1 charge.
"Well said, You may touch my paws and rub my ears when we are done with this fight, my name is puck and I'm going to freeze your face to the ground!"
I then buy a small mover package that lets me move just as fast as I can think.
I Do the kicking thing, again, much faster this time, with the added momentum she is forced to start bouncing around the alley we are in. at near the speed of sound. shit. she's even faster than last time. I dodge the blade to my forehead this time, and a second one going for my stomach, and a third hit going for my knees. I dodge a fourth stike, aimed at my throat, only for a hidden blade in her boot to go through my chin and into my brain.
[Destination]
[ERROR]
+1 charge.
I frown, and dump another point into my mover package, just as puck says,
"Well said, You may touch my paws and rub my ears when we are done with this fight, my name is puck and I'm going to freeze your face to the ground!"
I weave around her strikes like an expert. No matter how fast she goes, she can't keep up with me.
I grin, and then pump chi into the Over-Nine-Heavens Death-Law martial art, starting to refine my body and going for a hit that will shatter her sku--
I explode into a pile of gore.
[Destination]
[ERROR]
+1 charge.
"Well said, You may touch my paws and rub my ears when we are done with this fight, my name is puck and I'm going to freeze your face to the ground!"
I put a point into my brute package durability, hoping that will keep me from destroying myself with a stupid stunt like that. I channel the body refining ability into the martial art, and I Immedaitely explode again. I live long enough to hear emelia scream. I decide I don't want to hear that again.
[Destination]
[ERROR]
+1 charge.
I dump another point into my brute-package. I am now a brute-4 in strength and durability. If I can't refine my body with such a tough constitution then the stupid technique must be faulty.
I cycle the chi, and this time I don't explode, I feel a bit of pain all over my body, as red chi starts flowing around my body. I look like goku using Kaio-Ken times 4. I am immedaitely extremely fast. I'd say I could probably take a hit from Alexandria, but that's just my arrogance talking. maybe I'm a brute 6. I charge forward, and do the kicks, and she goes flying. "What the fuck!!!" she shouts, as i break her arm, and shatter her left leg. I start making lots of kung fu moves, she is then frozen to the floor, her arms and legs seem to quickly regenerate and she tries to jump. realizing shes frozen from the ground, she cuts the soles of her feet from the ice.
She gets a savage look on her face, and I rush forward just as she changes targets to emelia and charges at her. "NOT ON MY WATCH!" I throw a devistating kick towards her head. her entire upper body explodes.
Just as I break through to the peak houtian stage and then stop cultivating immedaitely I cough out a mouth full of blood and collapse to the ground. I sigh, just as I hear Reinhardt show up and start talking to emelia. I hear him say, "He seems to have overused his divine blessing. Can I ask you to look after h--"
I black out before I can hear the rest.
