The Ambush.

Aron profited from this journey, new profession, new spaces and foundation in minds of saved people. This time, he didn't rush back. Boy could scan surrounding region with his sight and getting new things would be great addition to sight-seeing.

There was nothing extraordinary in nearest plains and small forests. White-haired kid was around kilometer from village and he saw something bizarre.

Group of people were hiding in bushes, visibly waiting for him. All of them were armed and they looked very stiff. Young hunter saw familiar face in their ranks, it was Ian. Crazy blacksmith with odd grudge to him.

'You want to play with me? Take this!' He took out his bow and got in shooting range.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! Multiple arrows were released by him in extreme speed, all people panicked.

"STOPS SHOOTING! ARE YOU INSANE!" One of men shouted with horror in his eyes. Death could be caused by one arrow.

"Don't move, bandits! I WILL KILL EVERY ONE OF YOU BASTARDS!" Their expression became odd, boy took them for bandits and didn't joke about killing part.

"WE ARE NOT BANDITS! STOP SHOOTING!" They tried to reason with him

"IF YOU ARE NOT BANDITS! THEN WHY DID YOU HIDE IN BUSHES?" The performance continued for another round, they lacked bloodthirsty crowd demanding deaths.

"KID! WE ARE NOT…" Blacksmith snapped and shouted at them.

"YOU FOOLS! DON'T YOU SEE THAT TRASH IS MESSING WITH US!" His anger reached zenith and he was ready rush at Aron with his axe.

"HAHA! You are right! IAN! YOU SON OF BITCH! What do you want this time? Didn't you make my life fucked up enough? YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" Negative emotions started to take control of his mind, this man couldn't leave him alone.

"Calm down! We want only talk!" It was funny as person that said this sentence held weapon inside his hand.

"You want negotiate with axes and bow? Who do you think am I? Freaking fool like your children?" Aron laughed and thought.

'Perfect. Ideal place to kill all of them without witnesses. Let's finish them off!' Time for ruthless decision, 'bandits' needed to be killed as act of justice.

Swish! Swish! Swish! These arrows weren't warnings. All of them were aimed into vital spots.

Thud! One of them fell on ground with regret painted over his face.

Thud! Thud! Thud! His accuracy and speed were too great, only remaining person standing was Ian.

Aron came closer and said.

"Are you satisfied? You are responsible for their deaths!" He brought them to ambush boy and if you are ready to kill. You need to be ready to be killed in process too.

"YOU MONSTER! THEY WERE ALL GOOD MEN! MY FRIENDS! VILLAGE WON'T LET YOU OFF!" His voice was filled with grievances and regret.

"HAHA! You are calling me monster? Did you forget all things your nephew done to me? Did you forget your own actions? IF I AM FREAKING MONSTER IT'S YOUR BLOODY FAULT!" Everything has cause and effect, if they didn't beat Aron to death. Marcus wouldn't be transmigrated into his body, their death could be blamed only on their unreasonable actions.

"Any last words? Before joining your nephew in hell?" His emotionless face terrified Ian even more.

"I curse you! I CURSE YOU ALL FUCKIN…" Boy didn't want to listen to his bullshit anymore. He pierced his heart with dismantling knife.

"Noooblees..."Cough! Thud! His body fell on the ground.

'What? Nobles? I don't understand.' White-haired hunter started regret killing him so fast. This man knew something useful, yet information were taken with him straight to hell.

Aron packed their bodies into space and walked into village. His target was Carl's house, it would be nice to talk about results of his visit in Clay village.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in.." The silent voice came out of the hut. Aron came in and found out the village chief in the terrible state. Alex brought virus with him to the village, and chief decided to shut himself inside his hut.

[Carl]

[State: Dying]

[...]

"SHIT! Old man hang on! I will save you." Boy thought that system will give him some kind of possibility to save chief.

'System! Any possible way to save his life?'

[No. It's impossible. Host lacks necessary equipment or abilities to achieve such level of healing.]

"Boy! Cough! Pass on my skills on someone! Cough!" His voice was fading, old man couldn't stay alive for long.

"Don't worry! I will!" Chief face showed trace of relief. It was like he was only suffering for all those days to hear confirmation from boy.

'You stupid old fool! I could save you if someone I knew!' There was no point in saying what could happen if he knew. Carl was dead and useless thoughts wouldn't bring him back to life.

'He didn't let anyone take care of him. Even in his last moments, he cared about these fucking villagers.'

"HAHA! All those years, he saved their lives and resolved their problems…" It was pretty hilarious as his entire life was centered on helping those people and in the and none even checked if he is alright.

His burial was carried at evening, people gathered to grieve. The most of them was more worried about future of village. Chief was good herbalist, none trusted ability of Aron.

"Carl was great chief…" Casper did great monologue to inspire people and finally got straight to point. They needed to choose new chief, currently best candidate was outside of village.

"Ian should be village chief!" Someone from crowd shouted and some voices of approaval could be heard.

"What about Carl's apprentice?" Casper wanted to propose Aron as new chief. He believed that chief didn't taught him without reason and boy would be best choice.

"YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WHITE-HAIRED TRASH! HE IS OUTSIDER! HE CANNOT BE CHIEF!" One of supporters of Ian shouted.

"HAHA!" Aron started laughing, their behavior was very funny and if they knew the truth.

"Few days of learning under chief doesn't make you special! Wash milk under your nose before talking with adults!" When you cannot insult any other fields, there is still age.

"SHUT YOUR DOGGY MOUTH! YOUR MASTER ISN'T HERE!" White-haired boy decided to silence him to get opportunity to talk.

All of villagers became silent.

"I WANT TO ASK YOU ALL ONE FUCKING THING! WHILE I WAS OUTSIDE OF VILLAGE…WHY NONE FUCKING CHECKED WHY CHIEF DOESN'T COME OUT OF HIS HOUSE? YOU FUCKING CUNTS! YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOUR SHITTY ASSES…HAHAH! Are you satisfied? All your leaders are dead…and you only bark like dogs…FUCK YOU! I don't care anymore about this village. I am leaving!" Those people couldn't give him anything. There were only two people with some capability. Roger and Casper, he already learned most of their skills.

Roger approached him and said.

"I told you, kid. Killing isn't the way… You killed Ian? Didn't you?" People with enough intelligence could connect the facts from his previous words. He basically said that blacksmith is dead. There were two ways of boy knowing this fact. It was witnessing their deaths or killing them himself.

Old farmer knew about his previous actions and decided to ask directly about their whereabouts.

"They deserved death! I will add one more thing! Most of you deserve death! I tried to help you at your worst times. Look at yourself! Who did support me? After all, there were only voices against me!" It was truth, people only supported Ian as new chief.

"MONSTER! KILL HIM!" Wife of blacksmith shouted in grief, she discovered that her husband was dead.

"HAHA! Come at me!" He picked damaged axe from fence and waved it few times to scare off surrounding fools.

Casper and Roger decided to stay out of this, they were aware of capabilities of boy. All assailants will end dead in very gruesome way.

"DIE BEAST!" Loudest blacksmith's supporter rushed at him with stick. Aron didn't give him time to react, one strong cut and body of man turned into two bloody parts.

"AGHHH!" Some people started to shout in horror.

"He had 'guts' to attack me! Look at these guts? Nothing special! Who is next?" People started to shivering and retreat from him. All courage disappeared when kid killed person without any hesitation.

"Enough! Leave! Stop the bloodshed! It's wrong path!" Roger shouted and signaled people to stop attacking him. Most of them were too scared to attack anyway.

"Goodbye! TRASHES! Casper, apologize in my stead to your daughter!" Ending his last sentence, he left village to explore outside world.

'I wanted to build foundations here. It was mistake…' Those villagers were worth nothing, he decided to travel to nearest town.
