"Not alone?" Everlearn mused, snapping his head backward, and that was when he saw them.
Two men are sitting on a bench on the roof of the other building.
There were a couple of empty alcohol bottles of drink on the ground and burnt cigarette butts.
One of them was lazily drooping over the bench while the other happened to have been looking right at where Everlearn had landed, and now looked right at him.
"Hey, Kid? What the hell do you think you're doing up here!" the man shouted as he rose from his seat.
The shout awakened his other, who jerked up to his feet in alarm, only to relax when he saw it was just Everlearn.
"What? A kid can't even do some parkour no more!?" Everlearn replied, watching the men's eyebrows twitch.
"What fucking parkour you be doing at 8:00? Go suck your mom's breast already!"The one sitting said, shooing him off.
"What the!?" Everlearn said, seemingly having taken a hit from the abuse.
"Well, I will."
"Good."
"After you both come suck my dick!" he screamed back, and that blew it.
Immediately, the man who had awoken dashed toward him, leaping from one building to the next, while the other grabbed a bottle, smashed it against the bench, and followed right after.
"Seems like your white ass needs some whooping. Come here, kid, let me holla at you real quick."
The man said with an evil smirk as he cracked his hands, and immediately he rushed forward, appearing before Everlearn and swinging a punch towards his face.
'Idiots,' Everlearn thought, stretching his palms towards the fist and jerking the man forward.
'Huh?"
The man said in shock, feeling the uncontrollable force that had dragged him forward, yet in the next moment, his head rolled to the back of his neck when,
BANG!
Everlearn's elbow smashed straight up towards his jaw, blood streaming, and a couple of teeth came flying out.
He collapsed onto both knees in the next moment and then fell flat on his stomach.
"Mama Mia!?" the man holding the bottle said in shock, looking at his companion knocked out cold.
Immediately, his drunkenness cleared, red veins of anger appearing.
"Oh, oh, now you're in for it, kid."
SLASH!
The sharp bottle grazed Everlearn's neck with speed, but he stepped back, dodging just as it stabbed straight for his stomach.
Taking a step to the side, his knee smashed into the outstretched arm, sending the bottle flying upward.
Everlearn's right arm clenched into a fist, slamming into the man's throat.
He reeled back from the force, taking three steps backward and almost tumbling over the building's edge.
"Mama Mia!"The man said, gripping his neck.
It was like he had been shot in the neck, and he looked forward, but the kid was nowhere.
"The pussy ran!?"
"Over here," the words rang out behind him, and his blood froze as he slowly turned his shaking head, only to find an iron rod magnifying towards him.
BOINK!
It connected with the man's skull, instantly sending his chest flat on the ground while his butt remained sitting on the floor.
He was knocked out cold!
CLANG!
The iron rod was thrown away by Everlearn, who rearranged his cap well before tapping on the pod in his ear.
"Neutralized."
"That was fast. And suck my dick!? Really? You speak broken!?" The words came from the side, as Everlearn's eyes dropped low.
"I am from Slum B in Elloscious," he replied, and an "Oh," sound came in.
"Right. Those two men should be watch guards placed by the organization. I think there should be a binocular with them."
He stepped towards the man crumpled on the ground, his hand searching for his pockets, but he found nothing but a couple of notes and some lighters.
Leaving him alone, he walked to the other, and, after a few seconds of rummaging, he found the device.
It was a binocular, quite older-looking for this age, but,
"I have it."
"Good. Find a green-colored building with a blue symbol at its top. You see it?" it instructed as Everlearn's hand gripped the binoculars, and he put them on.
A couple of plays around with the lenses, and he got a clearer view of the entire city.
It took him about twenty seconds to find it, a building tucked among other ordinary-looking ones, marked only by a peculiar blue symbol.
"I've seen it."
"Read the coordinates."
"Eight degrees, twelve minutes, thirty-one point two seconds north, four degrees, six minutes, twenty-seven point six seconds east."
"Hmmm, that matched with what I've been given. You got it right…" Boss Ash said, but Everlearn was doubtful.
"You sure? That looks no different from any other settlement building around it?"
"An Arcane serum being developed in such an ordinary-looking building?" he voiced out in suspicion.
"There's no rule saying the place where something important is built has to be grandiose."
"It's called a secret organization for a reason." The voice responded
"For now, just keep at your position and watch for any weird movements."
"If you sense anything, let me know," she said, before the connection was paused.
Everlearn tapped on his earbud, silencing it.
He took off the binoculars, turning to look behind him at the men he had knocked out.
The last thing he wanted was to have one of them wake up and sneak behind him only to boink him out of consciousness, too.
That'd be some lame-ass karma.
He stepped away from the edge of the building, correctly searching them.
He soon located the devices and took them with him.
Things will get bad if they secretly try to send a message back to the base.
With that done, he dragged both men to the far corner of the building's edge and hung half their bodies downwards.
If they woke up, they would jump in shock and either fall or narrowly avoid doing so.
Whatever it was, it would be loud enough for him to hear.
With that settled, he pocketed the devices… and a couple of the Nvdollars he found on them, before returning to the building's edge and surveying with the binoculars.
Three minutes later, and everything was still cool with no disturbance at all.
"This is going easier than I thought."
VROOOOM!
The air whistled roughly behind Everlearn, and he chucked his head to the side only to watch as the wall where he had been before was blown to pieces.
BOOOOOM!
An energy ball slammed through, slamming into a building at the side and blowing its entire roof into the sky!
