Splash!
Suddenly, a head flew away and blood burst out from the body.
You might be curious whose head is that? Or, you must at least be curious about who sliced my head and why?
Wait, did I just say my head? I guess I blew it on the flow. Anyway, if you are not caught up in the previous chapter, let's have a quick flashback. It can only be a flashback through words after all I can't turn back time to let you see what happened before.
After I stepped up for the second stage of the hunter test, I had to fight an Oni Rank Hunter who is also a beautiful elf. If only I had kept this in my mind. Of course, it wasn't my fault or anything. I have only seen elves using bows and arrows with their sexy poses in games.
I haven't seen an elf using the fist to blow her enemy's bones. So, tragedy struck when I assumed her as he and smashed his/her balls. But, she was her, not he. So, without balls, not only I didn't cause any damage, I even made her angrier or rather I should say completely out of control.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
But soon, a scream struck my ears as I saw her screaming as my blood splashed over her body. It seems she realized it just now that she sliced up my head with her hand. Yes, she didn't even use a sword. She used the edge of her hand to slice my head.
It seems that's what she does whenever someone does exactly like what I did.
But wait, doesn't this mean someone has done this to her before? Maybe in a different way…. Hmm... that explains why she would hate the sex maniacs so much. I guess she is an elf with a tragic backstory.
Anyway, I shouldn't keep her crying like that for a long time. With that being said, I made my body move. I wasn't sure how this works. But, this is what I found when I asked Beth to chop my head. I found I could control my body and reattached them.
When my body moved, it brought a shock to her eyes as she stopped crying. My body moved to my position and sat down. I tried not to make it bow as much as possible. Since bowing would spill out more blood and I don't want to lose more blood than I usually lose.
After it sat down, it held the head and put on the neck. When the neck and head got connected, the cut slowly started recovering. This was one of the major discoveries I had. If I act on time, I can reattach my body rather than re-growing it.
This is much faster, especially when it comes to head. Having a new head means a head without any memories. Well, actually I wasn't sure if that was the case and I never tried this as well. Because I was a believer in science.
And, memories are just signals. Even if my healing ability can regenerate my neurons, it can't regenerate my memories. Because memories are just signals that our neurons keep. You can think of this as a book you are reading like my biography.
You know me. You know I have a healing factor. You know I just my head sliced. But, can you remember every line that the Priest who chased me said?
This is something you can't do. Because you haven't read this book more than once. So, why? Why aren't you reading it more than once? Just go and re-read this book. There are only nine chapters. After you re-read quite a few times, you will realize that you can actually remember those lines.
Like one of the epic lines that I said at the end of chapter 5. You don't remember it because your brain hasn't stored enough signals to make it long terms memories. Okay, I am not your science teacher. But, I love breaking the fourth wall to teach you something.
When you seriously hit your head, you might get amnesia. And, the reason is simple. Those signals that your neuron had are disrupted and maybe even destroyed. Once those signals are destroyed, you lose your memories.
That's exactly why I don't want to re-grow my head. Because the new head will have no signals which mean it will have no memories. And, I don't want to lose my memories. As for how am I able to talk even if my head is chopped, don't ask me this question.
I am not a science teacher. And, the rules of this world don't apply to your world, okay? That's why I would like to give a big NO to re-growing the head. After reattaching my head, I waited till it actually gets connected properly before moving toward Jane.
After that, I walked toward Jane. She was still in a state of shock. I thought for a moment and quickly spoke "Miss, you should've seen it, right? There is no way to kill me. I can't die. I might not be strong but I can't die either. So, how about we skip this stage? After all, I would still start from the lowest rank."
"So, there is no point in going forward with this. I definitely can't defeat you. And, you can't kill me."
Hearing my words, Jane trembled for a moment. She still seems to be shocked. And, it wasn't that ridiculous. After all, I just got my head chopped. She slowly calmed down and stood up. She looked at me for a moment and asked "Are you really someone with a demon bloodline?"
"Huh! What do you mean? Are there any other races that have the bloodline and heal fast? I mean my healing ability is indeed amazing but it is also an ability that I awakened." I immediately freaked out for a moment but quickly managed to calm my emotions.
For some reason, I was getting the vibes that my bloodline was not a demon bloodline. And, this bloodline is probably the enemy of most people.
"He is correct, Jane." Suddenly, a voice rang from the door. As I turned my head, I saw a man standing on the door while positioning his shoulder on it. He was tall and handsome, wearing white clothes with some golden patterns on them.
"Sword King! Greetings!"
When Jane spotted him, she immediately bowed down and greeted him. Alongside her, everyone else did the same. I also slowly bowed my head but he instantly appeared in front of me and held my head. I raised my head in confusion as I looked at him.
He smiled and shook his head "You are still not the part of Hunter Guild. So, you don't have to show that respect. And, I can't ask an otherworldly hero to bow. So, please don't!"
His answer made me confused especially his polite tone. I didn't understand why he said that but I nodded my head. He turned around and looked at Jane, as he continued.
"Lady Jane, I hope you are not confusing him with them. I know you are stunned by his healing ability but do you really think we could have defeated them if they were undying."
When he asked that question, Jane immediately shook her head. The Sword King smiled and said, "As you all know every otherworldly hero inherits a powerful talent in a form of something and thus he grows stronger than others at a faster rate without any limitation."
"If I am not wrong, Mr. Alex's healing ability should've been enhanced to an unprecedented level because of the talent he acquired while getting summoned into this world. He might be unaware of this which is not uncommon."
"So, I hope you can let him join the Guild."
When he said that, Jane freaked out a little. The man in front of her is a Sword King. And, she is just an Oni-Rank Hunter. She immediately got flustered as she nodded her head.
"Of course! Since Sword King thinks he is good enough to join, I will immediately register him into the guild."
Hearing her words, the man laughed a little and said "He is more than good enough. In fact, when I saw him using the sword, I thought of teaching him. Although he doesn't have good knowledge of sword, I can still teach him and he can easily surpass me with his talent."
I was shocked when I heard that. I didn't expect a man to suddenly arrive here and take me as his disciple. But I wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even Jane and others were dropping their jaws.
"Y-y-you mean you would take him as your disciple?" Jane shuttered as she asked.
"Disciple?" The man shook his head and said "I can't take otherworldly heroes as my disciple. I only want to teach him the Basic Swordsmanship and give him my Martial Technique."
Then he turned at me and smiled "I hope you don't mind me teaching you swordsmanship."
I was speechless at this moment. Why would I mind? But, I don't understand.
Why?
