Criminal Life.

"You telling me you called Cinder a bitch! HA!" Mercury let out a loud laugh as I glared at him.

"To be fair... she is one."

"True."

Me and Mercury were on equal terms. We shared some hobbies and stuff. Emerald on the other hand hated my guts.

Her love boner for Cinder is the main reason. Since I don't respect Cinder, she gives me the cold shoulder, and I'm worried she might be planning my accidental death.

"So, what do you think she'll do to you."

"Depending on the rumors I've heard from the other around here... Probably something preeety bad." I let out a long sigh, before standing up. "Wish me luck."

"Hah!... No."

"...Dick"

(Timeskip)

"I'm sure you know the reason your here." Cinder gave me a stare that seemed to pierce into my soul as I gulped.

'I feel like I've been called into the principals office.'

"To be honest, there are probably alot of reasons, but I'll just guess that it refers to what happened yesterday."

"Exactly. It seems you have negative feelings towards me... Care to explain why."

I let out a light sigh. "You did technically leave me to die earlier. I'm lucky they would've only asked me to join there academy... There's also torture." Shrugging my shoulders I glance at Cinder.

"I've heard from a few grunts here that you were pretty smart and cunning... Guess that was a lie. If some other circumstances happened I'm sure I'd be strapped into a room at Beacon-"

A ball of fire grazed his cheek. A brief glanced showed the scorched wall. Cinder had her hand out, and while there was still a calm look, it had a hint of anger.

"I put enough trust in you to expect you to handle it. When I allowed you to join I only did because of your strength and Semblance. With your already incredible natural strength plus your semblance... I was sure that fight would be relatively easy."

'Mhh, now that you mention it.'

"I expected you to succeed, yet you failed." She got up from her chair and walked close to me. "I hope you get in check... Or else." She brought her hand to my face, and a small tinge of fire burst out.

Even with it's size, It's heat was strong.

"Yes... Mam" I reluctantly spoke out the words as she took her hand away.

"Good. You are dismissed."

(Timeskip)

I allow myself to fall on the admittedly comfortable bed.

"Status."

[Name: Ren - Level: 39]

[Required EXP: 400,932]

[Titles: The Gamer, Chosen By The First]

[HP: 9,500] [MP: 11,000] [AURA: 1,500]

[STR:130]] [VIT: 125 ] [AGI: 99]

[INT: 80] [WIS: 80] [LUK: 100]

[CHR: 143] [UP: 10]

Over the last 4 months I've been training. I don't actually have a semblance yet, I've just been using [Breath Empowerment] as an excuse. The reason I'm with Cinder is because I don't really have a choice.

Since I needed money I did some dirty jobs. After a week of that Cinder somehow found me a forced me to join. Sucks, but I don't want to die.

'From what I've seen, Cinder is over level 85. Roman is level 58, and Neo is level 60.' A grim look appears on my face. Those 3 are the people I'm most worried about. Emerald and Mercury are just a little higher leveled than me.

Ever since I've been here for the last 3 months, I've had to do a number of Dust stealing with Roman. Even after all that, Cinder thinks I'm weak, even though she just said I was strong? What the fuck kind of logic?

"I regret every decision I've made up to this point." I groan and slowly close my eyes.

(Another Timeskip)

"It's honestly amazing how stupid people are..." I had my face out to the whole world. A wanted criminal. And nobody seemed to notice.

I know I may not have done that much, but it's still weird. In the first episode of they show, they literally did nothing about Roman, and just let him be. They were probably scared out there minds, but the could've done something, like call the cops.

"What do you think, Neo?"

(There dumbasses)

"Yes. Yes they are." Neo giggled a little.

I guess you can call me and Neo friends. For the most part we do hang out every so often, though she mainly uses me to buy Ice cream. other than that we do get along fine.

"Is this the place? it fits the description." I point to the medium sized abandoned house.

She gives a quick look to her scroll and nods her heads. Apparently this place houses some runaways from out little group. Cinder wants them dead since they might give away some info.

"What's the plan?"

(Get it done quick)

"...I figured" I walk up to the door and knock.

...

"Whaddya what?" A head peaked through the door.

*BOOM!*

My kick sent the door flying as well as the male into a wall. As we enter I take a quick look around.

"30 of them." I spoke to myself as Neo was already bashing in the head of one, a sadistic smile on her face... Neat.

"YOU FUCKERS!" A burly man ran up to me with a chair in his hands.

'...Is this guy stupid? Why is he using a chair? Does he not realize Aura exist.'

*Smash!*

I take out my katana and slash his body. Blood spurted out as he promptly fell over.

[+5,000 EXP]

Dismissing the notification, my body blurs, as I appear in front of a grunt.

"Hup"

(SadlyAnotherTimeskip)

(Seeing this is more fun)

I had to agree with her. Discreetly taking some fire dust out my inventory, I threw it on the pile of bodies, and with a gun I found lying around shot it.

Just like that, an explosion of flames happened, as me and Neo stepped out the house.

"It's truly weird how blood never gets on clothes." I idly said. There wasn't a drop of blood on my body even after I fell into a puddle of it.

(Your weirded out about that? Not the fact that there are superhuman teenagers?)

"Well I am a teenager so no."

(And I'm not)

"Your a 21 year old who drugged a 17 year old."

(What does that have to do with anything?)

...

...

(Want to get Ice Cream?)

"Am I paying?"

(Of course!)
