Chapter 16. Collection of Firsts

And what fell down was Jack's head. 

"T-This… He killed Jack!"

And a chaos came in the hall. I could feel the gazes towards me which turned from fun to fear. The fact I could use magic, and a high ranked one was enough to make then afraid of me.

"Y-You. Who are you?"

Miria's eyes were widened by the scene in front of her. She was shocked to find him to be that strong.

'She is surprised being unable to sense someone who disappeared in front of her eyes.'

The fact that she can remain untouched and safe despite her beauty in this business shows that she has a great deal of strength. And she rose to protect me from Jack means she was at least confident enough to come out alive from the brawl.

"Me? I am Kurt. A random demon hunter."

And that's how I ended my first impression at the demon hunter association.

---

'It's good I didn't peek at the corpse.'

From the start to end, I didn't turn to look the one I killed a moment ago. If I saw that…

'I would have fainted in the spot!'

And the image I made by killing Jack would have been smashed into pieces. It's good that I didn't try to be brave and maintained by strong and mysterious image.

'I thought it would be difficult for me to swallow the fact I killed someone, but it didn't seem to be that difficult.'

Is it because I killed someone yet I am not punished by anyone? Or is it because of original Kurt's personality?

"But there are many occasions where I can do something which I couldn't do that easily in modern world."

This is a fact that I have changed. I have adapted to this foreign world. It is a proof that I am no longer fake Kurt. From now on, I am Kurt Von Ritzburg, a part of this world.

"But still, I need to practice more killing to make sure I can do it with my eyes open in future."

Rather than killing and being a part of the world, I have more important thing to do. To make Miria mine.

"Is it the attraction power?"

Stand users get attracted to stand users. Villains gets attracted to the heroes. Antagonists gets attracted to protagonists. It occurs in every anime and manga.

"And there is no reason to discard that it won't happen in this one."

And this attraction power is one of the reasons I am trying that hard. Even if I hide inside some forest, I believe that fate would lead if not me, then the protagonist to me. That's why I trying to become consolidate strength to face the protagonist.

"Fate is a bitch."

Whatever force it is, it is good that I found her without much hassle. The rest left to take her under me. And more the reason after I witnessed her. And I am giving my honest opinion on it.

"She is quite sexy."

Just as shown in the anime, she is really one of the most beautiful characters. If Cecily exudes innocence, then Miria is the epitome of matureness. 

No wonder that the main antagonist goes head over heels for her. Though that part was more influenced by her resemblance to her late wife.

And if she looked life his late wife, then… 

"Hehehe…"

I am becoming more and more evil as the day passes. To think I would have such a plan in my head.

"But it's not bad. It might be fun to carry it out."

However, for that I need to have Miria under me. And to make her do that, I need to find her past and the trigger which turned her to become a devil.

"Every villain has a story behind it."

And like always, it is except Kurt. I looked at my pitiful state and wondering why I got reincarnated into this person's body.

"Well, I have taken steps for it. The reason I killed that man was also a part of it."

Today's incident have made a strong impression not only her mind but also in the rest of the association. And because of that I also got registered in the association without much hassle.

"And it is good I registered as a commoner. That removes the barrier of nobility to get along with her."

The separation of nobles and commoners is at it's extreme in Bluesphere. And coming out as a noble would only make it worse for me to get along with Miria.

"Before I am completely sure, I have to hide the fact I am a noble."

My instincts are screaming that the cause for becoming a devil might be related to a noble. The main antagonist was someone who was harmed by fellow nobles and commoners, and that's why he sought to destroy everything. 

And for him to make Miria his left hand was not only based on her appearance and ability, but also in her past. If she was a spoiled noble or a rich commoner, I doubt he would have recruited her in the first place.

"Sigh!"

I lied down on the bed and closed my eyes after all that tiredness. In just one day, I had my first fight, my first kill and even met the one I was looking for. I thought it would take time but all happened in one day.

"It seems I will complete my career as a demon hunter much faster than I anticipated."
