Karaoke and the Damsel

Early in the morning, William went to the academy with his sister. He bid farewell to his sister after they arrived at the academy ground, and he went to his room.

He entered the classroom and sat beside Alice.

James turned around and said, "This time we will go to the karaoke and we will have fun"

"I.." Before William could finish he was interrupted by James.

"William don't try to refuse, it's just that everyday after the class we would hunt a monster in the west forest and train our skill, sometimes we need to relax" James said to William before he looked at Alice and said, "What do you think?"

Alice pondered for a while before she nodded her head.

William looked at the two helplessly and said, "Let me call my sister"

James looked at Alice who nodded her at him.

William took out his smartphone from his pocket and dialed his sister's contact.

Ring!! Ring!!

"Sister want to go to karaoke with James and Alice" William said through the phone.

****

After the class Claire and James forcefully dragged William while Alice followed behind the two.

Claire also bring some of her friends. Stephany a nerd looking petite girl, she was wearing a round glass, and her hair was braided into two.

And the other one was a sexy looking woman, her skin was white as snow, her brown hair was shoulder length, she have a long eyelashes and beautiful hook nose. She's called Sandra.

The two looked at William up and down while William only greeted them before he got dragged by his sister.

William unwillingly followed James and his sister. He haven't gotten to a karaoke in his two lives, this was new to him, well, he was okay to try something new, plus his sister was here.

The three went inside the karaoke lounge. James ordered some foods and drinks.

James was the first one to sing and started tearing his vocal cords apart in the stage. The atmosphere got lively by his intense singing.

Back in the past, William would listen to some pop music, there was once a time, before he raided the demon's army he stealthy went to a concert of some good singer to calm himself.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Alice asked him.

"I'll pass"

Sandra was the next one to sing after James. Her voice was very pleasant to ears, she was a good singer.

Alice then got up and took the microphone as she walked elegantly to the center. Obviously, this was not her first time here.

William was familiar with some of the song and he could even hum along.

Alice was doing great in the stage, it was like she became another person, her beautiful voice made William in dazed when she looked at him while singing. Alice was happily singing in the stage, her youthful vibe was all over in the stage, totally different from how she usually looked.

William was surprised to see this side of her, he was mesmerized by her charming performance. His heart started to beat wildly.

James, Claire, and the other's clap at her performance.

Alice blushed when she saw William looked at her in dazed.

William couldn't believed that this was the same Alice that challenging him to a duel everyday. He slowly put his hands to his chest.

James saw William's expression he smirked.

****

William, Alice and James separated from Claire and his friends. The three going around the town looking at everyshop.

Claire and his friends left them cause they still have to do something in their department.

Soon, it was late at night when William bid farewell to Alice and James.

"Those two really enjoy the tour" William sighed. Alice and James enjoy the tour in the town with William. In the past William never enjoy touring around the town but this time he felt happy that he have a comrade accompanying him. This type of emotion was foreign to him.

Alice voice kept ringing in his hear. He felt some emotion was developing inside him but he didn't know what's this feeling.

Late at night William was walking back to his home when he heard.

"Kyaa!!"

He looked around and saw nothing. Then, he heard a voice.

"Stop!"

He used his mana to sense his surrounding, only to found that the voice came from the back alley. He sense seven people there. He was curious to what they are doing as he slowly went to them.

When he arrived he saw six men trying to ganged a young girl. The girl was shivering in fear in front of these guys. The men laughed maniacally when they saw the scared girl.

*ding*

[Rescue the girl from the hands of those guys. Reward 200 points]

William saw the quest and sighed before he observed the situation.

"We will walked you to your home, chick" The man in front said.

"In replace you will accompany us tonight" the other said.

"No!!" The girl said in a scared tone. She tried to calm herself and looked for a way to escape.

"In that case we have no choice but to use force" the men said and laughed. The men slowly walked forward.

The young girl punched the man front of her but was blocked.

"With this fragile body of yours you think you can resist us" the men said as he laughed maniacally. His laughed was stop by a sudden felt of pain.

"Arrrgh!"

The girl kicked his guts hard enough to loosen the grip in her hands. When the grip loosen she turned around and run.

"After her" the one who was kicked in guts shouted.

The other men started to run after the girl.

The girl was breathing heavily from running. She turned around and looked behind only to see the group of men running to her direction.

She no longer have stamina to run and she felt despair. She would rather die than being violated by this group of men. She took a deep breathe and readied herself for the worse.

'Sigh.. I didn't think I would die by my own hands' She thought as she was preparing to suicide.

William saw this and felt that he needed to intervene now as he saw the expression of the girl.

Soon the men was in front of the girl. The men laughed and said, "hehehe you can't escape us"

The men slowly reached his hand to the girl but was stop by the voice.

"That's enough"

They heard a voice and they turned around and saw a young man wearing the unifrom of hebrei magic academy.

The girl turned around and saw a young man who have a cold expression on his face as he was scratching the back of his head with his right hand. The girl felt she could depend on him. She slowly stood up and walked behind the young man. No one notice when the girl went to the young man as they were focus on the young man. The young man of course was William.

"Oi brat don't try to be a hero" the men said angrily.

"All of you should leave now and I will let you leave with your head's intact to your body" William said as he gesture them to leave.

"That's some attitude you have there" the men said mockingly.

William turned around and ignore the men as he faced the girl. The girl has a beautiful brown eye's, her brown hair drape down to her waist, and her skin is white as snow.

'Ahh she is beautiful comparable to Alice and maybe even more if she dressed herself properly' he thought.

He said, "you too should leave now"

The girl looked at him deeply before she nodded and left.

William sighed as he sense the girl didn't left but actually was hiding and watching him.

He turned around to the group of men and said in a cold tone, "well, well, well, you all didn't heed my warning and choose to stay here"

He lift his arm and gathered his mana.

Swoosh!!

A projectile flew out of his arm and hit the few street light.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the light was gone it was replaced by pure darkness and their worse nightmare was standing in front with glimmering eye's.

"Ahhh!!"

"Please don't kill me.."

"Don't.."

"Stop!!"

"Ahhh!!"

The girl couldn't saw anything because of the darkness she could only heard the screamed of the men who was being slaughtered by William.

After a while the screamed died down and she could only heard the cold wind blowing in the darkness.

She stood up walked forward and she saw nothing. Nothing, there's nothing here even the bodies of the men and there's no traces of battle even a single drop of blood couldn't be found.

She shivered at the thought of massacre but she felt intrigue to the young man who save her. She turned around and run to her home.

It was fullmoon this time and it shone brightly at the sky, the cold breeze of the night gently blew on William's emotionless face.

William was in the roof of the biggest house in the area. He watched the girl run to her home. His eye's looked coldly and there's a blood on his face. William was not foreign to killing in the past he walked in the mountain of corpse. The numbers he killed was uncountable.

"This feeling.... How nostalgic" William looked at the blood in his hands. This was the first time he killed a human in this life. He knows that if he let them live, those people will once again continue what they're doing. And what if those kind of people met his sister. Unfortunately, they met him so they died before they met his sister.

"I thought I was developing some kind of new emotion that I have this tingling feeling in my heart, but it seems that my body just want to remember this feeling" William murmured as he placed his hand in his chest.

He vanished to the roof and appear to the other. His figure kept blurring as he disappeared.
