Chapter 4 - Beginning of Grind

"Guards, go to the prison and bring Raven Nakasomi!"

"Wait, where is he? He has escaped. Let's inform the president."

"Look, Raiden is dead."

"I will contact through telepathy."

"Sir, Raven has escaped."

"Aren't there any guards?"

"Yes, he was killed."

"Hunters, darkness has returned to plunge the world into chaos! Raven has escaped. Search for him quickly."

"Everyone outside the arena is searching for Raven. Also, it has started to rain."

"If you choose to live, Raven..."

Raven, in Raiden's body, with red hair, red eyes, and wearing the red hunters' outfit.

"I won't sacrifice myself for the world, Grind."

"I will be your enemy, Raven. You're not the Raven Nakasomi I know."

"Not just you, but the entire world. And also, you don't know me."

"Now you can't escape. The strongest wizards, President Zeref, and a thousand hunters are against you. What will you do?"

"They are all around me. I'll open a portal."

"Hurry, he's escaping!"

"Then, until we meet again, Grind."

"Did something happen to you, Grind?"

"Nothing happened, Olivia."

"Let's go, Grind. Olivia, come on."

In the Blue Hunters' Castle...

"I'll go to sleep, sir."

"Who said you could sleep?"

The team leader, King Dairn, made me kill 100 monsters because I was late for work at 3 a.m.

"This castle has 10 rooms, one for each person. The castle is big, but the leader doesn't allow more than 10 people."

"It's been 10 days since the Alpina Arena incident. I haven't seen Raven since that day. What are you doing, young man? Didn't I tell you to go with Riza and Deniko to look for food?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I'll go."

"He's angry."

"Riza, Deniko, why did you stop?"

"There's energy coming from that direction. There's the village of Edenras."

"Let's go quickly."

"Alright."

When they arrived, the village was quiet.

"Deniko, there's no one here, not even in the houses. Wait, look, there's a human wearing hunters' clothes."

"His body is covered in blood. Is that human blood?! No, he's not human. Look, his eyes have no humanity in them."

"So, the hunters have arrived."

"How did you become human, beast?"

Grind raised his sword, and Deniko used gravity control magic with one hand, while Riza raised both hands to use shield magic to protect the team.

"He had a delicious power and wanted to fight me, so I took control of his body and used his power."

"Why are you killing humans? Is someone commanding you?"

"Even we don't know. But the promised day will come when the world will be in our hands. You humans will be banished from the world."

"That's just in your dreams, beast. Let's kill him."

The monster opened a portal and summoned transformed humans, now zombies.

"They are humans. I can't kill them."

They hear the crying and screaming of humans, as if they were puppets being played with.

All the zombies are humans, from children to the elderly and women.

They say, "Please, kill us."

Grind used his sword calmly and cut them all down.

"Rest in peace."

"This is amazing! Such wonderful power, I will consume it," with a terrifying look, "and take control of you."

"Absorbing souls."

"What? My soul is fading away."

"Deniko, I will contact the Rapid Response Team through telepathy."

The Rapid Response Team: A specialized group of individuals trained to deal with disasters. Their task is to collect bodies in destroyed areas, and they may also be part of rescue or city reconstruction efforts.

"What happened here, Deniko?"

"Lady Selene, we forgot to bring food and were punished by killing 100 monsters. I've also started to become stronger."

"Olivia, where were you?"

"We were punished, Olivia. Stay away."

"Raven, I'll go to sleep. Until next time."

"Alright, guys?"

"Yes, Sir King."

"We will go soon with the rest of the teams to fight the red monster threatening the city of Perion."

"So, where is Raven?"

"He's here."

"Yes, sir."

"Wait, this isn't like you."

"The leader will expose us. What should we do?"

"Go and bring your sword. We're leaving."

"Why aren't you moving?"

"Duane, you're not Raven."

King, with an angry face, says, "Wait, this is your ability, you fool."

"You'll die if I see you use it again. That's clear."

Duane, scared, says, "Yes, yes, sir."

Raven comes down from his room.

"Thank you, Duane."

"What?! Sir King?"

"We hit Sir King, and he punished us by making us stay in the castle. I'm starting to feel bored."
