WEAK TO TRULY HELPLESS FOOD-CHAIN.

     ***On Planet Gieă, In the Outskirts of the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans', In a small house on top of a lonely and silent hill.

     Standing behind his house front window, Navi calmly looks outside with a small cup of warm herbal tea in his hands.

     It's already evening and the sense of danger he has been getting since he left the Academy's ground has spiked a lot. Infact standing by the window, he could feel people staring at him and watching his every movement and breath.

     Navi doesn't know why he is able to sense people's gaze on him or the intent in their gaze but he honestly doesn't care much. For his age and as a non-cultivator, he already has superhuman speed, strenght, hearing, mind-set, weird memory-like dreams that show an alternate and more deadly version of himself and a madness and power filled explosive voice that's constantly asking him a question that seems to have no answer.. Adding the ability to sense negative intent and feel other people stares doesn't feel like much in his already long list of weird.

     He is anything but ordinary yet even his extraordinary is not enough to satiate his cravings for chaos.

     *Slurp*, Taking a small and elegant sip of his tea, Navi smacks his lips before pulling the curtains down calmly.

     He hasn't given much thoughts to the reasons whoever are stalking him are doing this but he hopes to find out soon enough.

     Now that je has privacy provided by the thivlck curtains, Navi turns around and calmly strips down bare before he starts to clothe-in his sleek white padded training armour that fits like a second skin on his body.

     The night is coming and alongside its darkness comes its dangers..

...

...

***On the Outside..

     Dressed in dark robes that definitely isn't custom, five people(Stalkers) could be seen hiding on the outside while paying close attention to both Navi and his house.

     Being on top of a slope hill, Navi's wide yard comes with its uneven spaces and dry shrubs, you don't actually have to be on top of the hill to find a spot on the slope good enough to see everything going on on-top.

     In one of these pockets spots, these give people can be seen casually waiting and stalking on Navi with one of them holding up a pair of binoculars and being active while the rest are just slumped down and resting and even feeling a bit bored by the task of waiting and stalking, after all.. they have been waiting and stalking the kid on the same spot since morning and plans for this operation has been going on for the last month.

     "Anything different?..", One of the males amongst them asks with a casual yarn in his question as he adjust his already slumped down sitting position to become a little bit more comfortable.

     "The guy pulled down his curtains..", A female holding the pair of bamboo binoculars says casually in response as she stays alert while still looking at Navi's house like she has been doing for the last few hours.

     "You should chill Diane, the kid's not gonna disappear if you look away for a single second..", Another male in the group says calmly before taking gulps out of a bottle of water as he holds his back up against a small rock.

     Diane finally turns around and takes away binoculars before she sits down to take in a warm breath through her dry lips as she smacks her tongue in thoughts.

     "Am I the only one feeling weird about this?..", Diane asks while looking at the lazy posture of the entire team one after the other.

     "About what?..", Another member of the team asks with a very thick voice that's rarely found on someone with pointy ears like his own.

     "I don't really know, I just feel like this is too easy..", Diane says with a small frown on her simple face.

     "Of course it feels too easy I mean the only thing between us and quite a fortune is a completely oblivious twelve year old..", A team member points out what seems to be the obvious atleast to them but Diane doesn't ar all seem relaxed by his words.

     "It's really simple Diane, being so smart you really should have no problems with it despite all our discussions on this. We go in there, we grab the kid and force him to spit out the location of where he've got the rest of his mother's fortune, we take the fortune and put the kid to sleep either permanently or temporarily, depending on how things go and then.. we're out..", A member of the party explains robotically while moving his hands in casual gestures to the 'fool-proof' plan.

     ".. and with a fortune that's hopefully massive to share. A Geisha's severance is no small deal but the dumb house and his greedy early registration into the Academy would have taken up a big chunk..", Another female in the group that looks much more rougher than Diane says with a bit of annoyance in her voice at how much more they could have potentially stood to earn.

     "Well we should be grateful she bought the house as well as the silence and space we need for our operation and we also should be grateful the kid signed in.. how else would we have known about the ripe cash cow?..", A male member says while earning a small chuckle from another sitting male.

     "I'm serious on this guys,.. its my thing with reading people but I can't get anything on this kid, the only alarms buzzing in here -(Points to her head)- are my danger alarms", Diane says in seriousness before soon smacking her lips in annoyance at the very lack-lustre reaction from her crew.

     But what was she expecting either way from a gathering of these money-hungry idiots?.

     The big human amongst them with bulging muscles, a massive ego that spells D. *. C. K,.. A dark tan with a darker beard, dimples that didn't belong on a face like his and spiked wooden shield he's currently lazily using as a block from the barely noticeable heat of the evening sun.

     The gruff half-dwarf female with a hot and nasty hairstyle that involves shaving a side of her head clean to the dark scalp and brushing the rest of her brown hair into a wave. The girl looks bulky and strong enough to wrestle men and due to being half breed, her height can be considered normal amongst women but her attitude and bearings are anything but normal even amongst men. It seems to be in the blood for Dwarves as most known to act like they are not only short in height but also short in temper, wisdom and mostly intellect.

     Another guy amongst them comes in a human shaped body but with yellow skin, pointy canines, faded green hair and completely yellow eyes with vertical black pupils. He isn't exactly a member of any of the seven great races(Human, Dwarves, Elf, Demon, Desolate, Giant, Aqua), instead he's from a race usually referred to as forbidden,.. the Beastmen race. Looking at him tells a funny and disturbing story about his human mother and something that belongs in the jungle and his detached gaze tells of a terrible and lonely backstory though his animal instincts still stays switched on and one could easily tell this by the fact that he is nonchalantly licking on his shoulder like a cat..

     The last guy is pure human and he is the person closest to and introduced them to their new target who just turns out to be an only child who had just lost his mother and only family just half a year ago.

     Life has been cruel to the majority of people in the Outskirts especially to people like them who has faced a fair dose of rejection so morally, this isn't much to bear because they have done worse.. and to much weaker people. They are all fully aware of reality and the fact that It's a Cultivation world where the strong preys on the weaklings who can do nothing about it and so for true weaklings like them who hasn't even sensed mana and may never sense mana in a lifetime, its hard to find weaker targets especially after considering the amount of other wolves out there moving in for the hunt.

     This one to them is a fresh and overfed lamb who probably has a fortune hidden in his fur. The Academy is their only hope at being more than they currently are but it's outrageous fees wouldn't pay itself.

     Diane smacks her lips open once more before taking a small chill as she opens up a small water bottle to wet her throat.

     "OK,.. Ok Diane. I think we're already careful enough to wait till midnight but if you still feel someway about it then you can play the guard at the door as we put the boy in ropes before 'tickling' out the location of the money from him", Troy(Navi's human room-mate) proposes while lazily scratching against one of his raised eyebrows.

     Diane nods an OK with water in her mouth as she comes fully to terms with what they her doing.

     Feelings don't matter much in this operations,.. the results do.
