Payback

Having her help rejected the girl didn't utter a word and turned around to stare at the boy.She still had a faint smile plastered on her face"2nd stage origin rank"She said internally.

[Dash activated]

"Um..I don't thin-".Before she could even finish her sentence Arthur's figure had disappeared from her line of sight and was running off in a distance.

"Fast!.Without my ability I don't think I can track his speed and he's just at the 2nd stage of origin rank"

After seeing Arthur's display of speed she couldn't help but wonder just what kind of training he's been through.She herself was in the 4 stage of the origin rank and even though the origin rank's boost gap between each stage isn't that high she still felt she could best him in terms of power.

But right Infront of her eyes she couldn't even follow the fast movements of the stranger she had tried to help.Her silver coloured hair with it's length resting on her shoulder began floating up with a yellow aura surrounding her body.

She looked off into the direction the thief and the stranger went and without a second thought dashed forward.

Arthur had almost caught up to him and was ready to battle with him.After everything he had went through when they thought his ability was trash and all those harsh treatment he received had really damaged his affection towards humans.

'They abandoned me at my worst why should I help out when they're also at their worst'.This has always been his thought process whenever it came to matters involving humans.

He wouldn't even have helped stop the man and would have just focused on his own thing but the large guy just had to punch him unprepared and then mock him.

The large man seem to have noticed him and turned around to stop and face him.His body sliding backwards due to his momentum when he landed."I may not have the time but against you I can make some reservations...here for revenge kid".

Arthur followed him downwards and landed Infront of him with a little distance between them.When he sensed the rank of the man he was surprised to see the man was in the 4th stage of the origin rank.

Even if the man would have been in the prime rank he would have still wanted to pay him back.The man sensed the rank of Arthur and stood his ground.He knew for sure the kid wouldn't be of danger to him.

"No quest.i think I might have an idea of how this system works on quests".Arthur said internally.Right before his eyes he could see the Large man getting bulky by the second.His height increasing as well as his size and with brown fur appearing all over his body.

"A beast transformation type ability".Ever since Arthur's intelligent stat got increased he found no difficult in reading and understanding things easily.He could remember everything he had experienced up from day 1.

His intelligence covered a wide range.Durimg his time he would not only train but would also read.Hence he knew about many things an average awakened didn't.

The large man he had wanted to face was someone with a beast transformation type ability,one of the ability types with an insane defense.Abilities were grouped into five.

Manipulation type abilities like the one he has.Control type abilities,an example being Brad's ability.Control type abilities were mostly regarded as failed manipulation type abilities since they carry the properties of a said manipulation type ability but can't completely be manipulated.

Beast transformation type abilities like the one the large man had just displayed by transforming into some type of a bigfoot creature.Creation type abilties and last is the weapon type abilities.

Arthur bolted from his stand point and clenched his fist.The man-beast with his monstrous size also threw a punch of his colliding with Arthur's own.

BOOM!!!

Just then the girl Arthur had met from earlier arrived at the scene and her eyes widened upon arriving.The man-beast was sent flying crushing onto the ground with his body creating a trail of dirt along the way.

Arthur didn't just stop there and rushed over to his side standing over him."Nothing personal...kid"Arthur voiced out.Without a second thought he struck again and again and again not wanting to stop pummeling him.

With each punch the ground would cave in and before he knew it he had created a giant crater underneath them."Please stop...you're going to kill him".

Arthur's action was halted when his fist which had been covered in blood was gently grabbed by someone.Judging from the voice that spoke and how soft her hand was Arthur immediately deduced the figure to be a female.

What was more shocking was how her two melons had been pressed against his back almost as if the person had no problem touching him.As much as he hated it he had to be rational and know that if he killed the man his ability would be blocked and he wasn't even sure Miss Jade could help.

"It would be a waste to leave this blood here..besides I need to have some with me at all times".In fact he really needed to be prepared.What would happen if he had met someone with higher physical stats than his.

[Blood Manipulation activated]

All the blood that had been spread across the battle scene was slowly floating towards Arthur who placed it inside a small sized glass jar.He slowly turned around and seeing the destruction he had caused he was more than thankful to the girl who saved him in time.

"Did all that blood.....was it his doing".She backed away after he stood up and wondered what his ability might be.Arthur turned to stare at her and she immediately felt flustered.

"Um...my name is Anna"She voiced out towards Arthur who still had his nonchalant expression on.He just couldn't talk to her not at the moment that is.An incident in the past had made him unable to communicate with girls his age.

He leaped upwards and landed at the edge of the crater he had created and turned his head halfway towards her direction."Arthur".This was the last word she heard him utter before his figure disappeared once more.

"I wonder if I'll ever meet him again".She turned around and stared down towards the man.Looking at what Arthur had done to him she couldn't help but shiver.He showed no mercy.

He had long transformed back to his human form when he was being pummeled.She lifted the man and with little effort which was surprisingly shocking considering her feminine physique.

She jumped up with the man on her shoulder speeding off to the direction she came from.

Arthur on the other hand was screaming in his head.Due to the fight and everything that recently went on he had forgotten he had to buy those stuff Miss Jade needed.

With all his speed he dashed towards the market square once more in hopes of purchasing the stuff in time.

"You were right Miss Jade this is the best meal I've ever had in my entire life"Arthur voiced out with his mouth full of food.Miss Jade stared at him in disbelief and smiled

"Glad you like it,now you can make some yourself since I've taught you".Arthur and Miss Jade continued having their bonding session before later onwards going to bed.

Anna on the other hand was remembering what had happened during the day and couldn't help having a reddened cheeks with her head held in position

"I...I wanna meet him again"
