Chapter 2

Jade woke up. It was getting light. The sky turned from black to blue, then blue, somewhere in the distance it was already becoming quite light.

—Oh... damn.

The man got to his feet. Weakness was felt all over the body. He decided to look around.

The entire roof was studded with huge fans, which apparently provided ventilation, no matter how obvious it may sound.

Now it was necessary to get down from here.

Suddenly the phone rang.

— Hello.

— Jade, Jade, we found some data about your opponent.

— Mgm, spit it out.

"His name is John Hope. The cursed Spirit of Love like Winter. It seems that his sword is able to warp space and time, causing a change in the flow of time. It may seem to you that you just killed him, but if he managed to make a swing, then consider that you are already trapped.

— I see.

— I will analyze his First, Second and Final. Oh, and one more thing. I understood what his colleagues were doing, so to speak. They are hiding behind a large political company. Their main office is located in our city. But it won't be safe for you to invade there, of course. You know, I thought you needed training urgently.

— I don't need any training.

"Your spirit hasn't even reached the first stage. You urgently need training. Urgently.

— Oh...I'm going to train, leave me alone.

Suddenly, Jade felt someone's eyes on him. He looked around. The roof was empty.

— Hey...there's someone here, eh?

The spiritual energy sensors didn't help much. If there was anyone here, he had a very good barrier.

— Hey! Come out! I'm your friend, whoever you are... - Jade is not finished.

A short boy with blond hair and green eyes appeared in front of him. Bangs hung over his eyes, slightly hiding them, but this made them even more beautiful.

— Hey, boy.

— Man, who are you?

— My name is Jade, and you?

— And my name is Thomas.

—Thomas," Jade said, holding out the letter "o".

— And who are you?

- I... well... um... and...

— What?

— I'm the one who...fights with bad people. How did you end up here anyway?

— And how did you end up here? I live here...

— Oh...

Jade looked at Thomas, at that childlike innocent face. It sparkled with its whiteness, and the look did not express any bad thoughts. The boy was as pure as an angel.

— Boy, you...

— What?

— Well, to be honest, I haven't eaten for a long time, but I don't want to impose, - the boy blushed and turned away.

— Boy, will you come with me?

— And? Why do you need me?

— I want to feed you.

— That's what that uncle told me...

— Don't go on. I won't hurt you. Come on, I'll give you some food.

— Promise.

— I promise.

— O-okay, - having said that, the boy with a suspicious look went after Jade.

"I escorted Thomas to my house.

He looked like he was about ten years old. I fed him potatoes with meat. He ate it as if for the last time in his life. It seemed like there was quite an ordinary homeless boy. But I would never have thought that he would turn out to be what he turned out to be."
