Ch. 177

( Yuto Pov )

I looked at the amount of dust in the train, the amount of crates stacked on the train as it moved.

' I'm surprised they aren't handling them carefully.' I thought as i put the rest of the crates in my inventory.

my ears twitched as I heard the sounds of an aircraft.

' An aircraft?' I used spacial awareness to see the outside to see an outline of an aircraft.

' Wonder if I could ride it?' I asked myself as I opened the sliding doors.

the aircraft immediately spotted me as I put my hood on as I stared at the aircraft.

' Four people...' i snorted as I climbed to the roof of the train.

" You there....!!" Before the announcer could finish, I stepped back and jumped to the aircraft.

" Wha!!!" In their surprise, I grabbed the first person's weapon, which was a sniper rifle, and rammed it through his head.

the person next to him reached for her weapon and aimed it me as I slapped it away and drove my hidden blade under her chin.

" Guuhh!" She struggled as I threw her to the side before finishing off the one with a sniper rifle as I kicked him off the aircraft.

" Sheryl!" Another shouted in agony as he reached for his pistol.

I walked up to the cockpit and grabbed his weapon before shooting his other friend, who drove the aircraft painting the window with his brain qixes with white and red.

bang!

he watches in horror as I aim the pistol as him as he tries to cover his face with his broken hand.

bang!

All it took was a little surprise and speed as I threw the corpse away and sat on the chair.

' Let's see if my training could kick in.' I thought as I put my hands on the steering wheel.

' Time to cover my tracks.' I steered the ship towards the moving train.

Well not really covered since they might notice the absence of dust and weapons, and sooner or later, I will notice a pattern later, but this will buy me some time just in case.

Just as the aircraft was close to the train, I immediately used blink.

I looked in the distance to hear an explosion as I the aircraft hit the train.

" Welp, time to explore." I turned around to leave as I walked in the snowy weather.

Boom! Duuu!!

The sounds of explosion and shockwave resounded through the snowy plain as I calmly made my way into the forest.

in a few hours, I was crouched to the ground, blending to the snow as I watched a few monsters move.

I observed them, their habits, and every small detail I could find from my observations.

and as one got close enough, I immediately plunged the hidden blade into their neck and dragged them into the snow before they could react.

it struggled as I held it by the neck as it threw snow into the air before stopping and disappearing into ashes.

I made sure the surrounding grims didn't notice the other grims' struggle.

one by one, I killed any grim I came across to find an efficient way to kill them without using too much energy.

In my time studying them, I started making way towards a village in the distance.

' They seemed to be in a festive mood.' I thought as I observed the cheerful atmosphere.

I reduced my presence as I noticed the lack of faunus.

I passed many happy families, couples, and friends enjoying their time as I watched in curiosity.

' What are they celebrating for?' I asked myself as I tried to find some clues.

caught some food or stolen them and ate them without anyone noticing.

This warmth they shared and showed in this celebration of theirs made me miss the feeling of home already.

' Gather information and get my bearings, then I should see if I could find allies.' I thought as I made my way through a crowd of people.

I listened to people's conversations.

" The Schnee's has been attacked?" A man looked at his friend who was looking at his device.

the friend nodded as he replied.

" Yes, apparently the White Fang has been involved."

" Tsk! Those damn animals!" The man cursed.

" Those soldiers trying to work for their families, killed!" The man continued before his friend stopped him.

" Leave it. let's enjoy the party. The Schnee company is supposed to pay everyone here so they could mine the dust we found. we could finally move." The friend spoke with a smile.

" Sigh, I suppose you're right."

I sat on a nearby bench with my head lowered as I stopped listening in.

I don't have a shred of guilt from theirs words about the soldiers. If they wanted to fight, they should prepare for death.

I stood up and left, ready to leave this village to their fate of robbery. Their mines were already dried and left with nothing from what I sensed.

I took my time as I walked down the dirt road.

' Too bad they didn't have any apple pie, maybe I would've saved their sad fate.'

I smirked as I felt my second heart beating. The heart of a hero.

it doesn't matter if I expose their dried mine. They'll continue living their lives like normal and expect their expectations to fail themselves.

' The white fang... maybe I should start there. I could easily infiltrate and blend in.'

" Too bad Shiro isn't here. Would've thrown him to the snow." I chuckled to myself.

" Well, let's see if I could find this organization." I spoke as I made my way down the snowy dirt path.
