Psychopathic Murderers

When she finally gave birth, it turned out that the baby had drained all the Mana in her body….with so little life left, mother Anna died shortly after bringing her baby into the world.

With the only light in his life gone, Tristan lunged into a life of grief and social detachment. He claimed that his human side died with his wife and since the only offspring she left behind resembled her in all ramifications, he transferred his aggression to the poor girl by placing guilt on her head by making her believe that she was responsible for her mother's death and by making her train morning, afternoon and night in order to become the best swordswoman ever. 

However, Anna, with her breathtaking beauty that wasn't at all blemished by her rigorous training grew up without knowing how it felt to have someone love her and treat her specially.

Before she clocked twenty, she had already transcended into supernatural level four swordsmanship making her the highest swordswoman amongst her peers.

With her mother's sword that was named after her, she trounced every obstacle that life brought her way. But now, here she was, after trying everything she could to please her father and gain even a little love from him all to no avail, now she would die the most painful death she could ever imagine…. Death by melting.

'Mother, I can't wait to see you and apologize for killing you' Anna said in her thoughts as tears flowed freely from her eyes.

She closed her eyes as she heard the sound of the blowhole releasing it's hot sizzling goo and she felt two strong arms grab her waist and carry her up into the air.

"'Oh sweet angels, have you come to lift me up to heaven?'Anna thought as she smiled dreamily.

Steve stared weirdly at the smiling injured girl that he carried in his arms.

Anna shrieked in terror as she opened her eyes to see a pair of amber eyes focused on jumping, landing and dodging the spurts of green goo that splattered everywhere.

The terror in her was quickly replaced by the fleeting feeling in her stomach like butterflies were flying around inside it. Her cheeks instantly flushed scarlet as a part of her that she never knew existed began to admire Steve's handsomeness. She had never been this close to a man in her entire life and her body was reacting madly to it.

But this feeling was short lived as Steve dropped her on clean ground that wasn't blocked by the huge fiends then as quickly as he dropped her, he jumped off in pursuit of Billy who had overtaken him when he went to rescue her.

At the end of the test, Lloyd was in the first position, Billy was in the second position while Steve arrived shortly after him in the third position. 

Anna managed to finish before the time elapsed because she enhanced the injured foot with Mana and relied on her natural physical speed to complete the test.

In this test, 76 contestants were disqualified thereby leaving 254 contestants for the next test.

"Wow….that was intense man" Trygve said as he finished in 26th position, Susan had already finished in 14th position.

"I still can't believe we did this in ten minutes" Susan said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Steve is the more impressive one, I'm sure he finished with up to four minutes left...like how did he ever get so fast?" Trygve said as he sat down on the ground while panting.

"3rd huh….. I'm still having difficulties with surpassing Billy. I have to train harder than ever…I must win this" Steve wasn't even listening to them as he was lost in his thoughts about the test that was just conducted.

"Earth to Steve" Trygve said as he stood up and waved his hand in front of Steve's thoughtful eyes making Steve to jolt back gently and stare at Trygve.

"How did you get so fast?"

Steve stared at Trygve like he was stupid till Trygve realized himself and face palmed. 

"Oh God….The forgotten sands of the goddess Ajá"

"Goddess Ajá? Is she a celebrity or something?" Susan chipped in making the guys to stare at her weirdly.

"I really envy you Heracles children, you guys can level up beyond level three….. that's a real talent" Trygve finally said as they began to make their way back to the dorms while the fairies led those that failed to the portals that would take them back to Earth.

"For some reason….I feel like these tests are gonna get a whole lot more real and dangerous soon" Susan said solemnly as she walked with the boys.

They were silent but they couldn't agree more with her.

Steve, as usual left them and went to the forest to train.

Graylon City Bank 

4:00 PM

Everyone was going about their normal businesses in the bank, things were going smoothly till five men all clad in black clothes without masks walked in, they all had stern and cold expressions on their faces. 

Each of them had a number written under their left eyes in roman numerals. The one in front had the number I while the others had the numbers II, III, IV and V respectively. It was evident to everyone there that they weren't from the area. 

As they entered, they didn't notice a security man who stared at them suspiciously and left as soon as they entered.

Trailing behind them was another man with his head bent and a cloak covering him.

The one in front who seemed like he was their leader walked up to the cashier who was an elderly woman. 

"Hey you"

"I'm sorry son, please stay in line, there's a queue here" The cashier told him sternly

"Give me all the money here" He said to her with a mischievous glint in his eyes and a maniacal grin plastered on his lips.

On hearing these words, the cashier looked at him from head to toe like he was a clown. 

He held no gun or weapon of any kind and he wanted to pull off a heist, he must be a psychological nut job. 

"Is this a joke or something?"

"Do what I say and stop asking questions!!" He yelled and banged his fists on the table as his eyes began to glow with a red color making the cashier to jump in fright.

"Security!!" She yelled

Before the security men could move an inch, the other men he came with except the cloaked man moved up to them in the blink of an eye and ripped off their throats with sharp claws that had mysteriously appeared on their hands. Their eyes were glowing red too.

The people in the bank began to scream and run around but number I began to throw orders at them that anyone who moved or screamed would be dealt with.

They continued screaming and running around as they scrambled for the exits as many of them didn't hear him under the din. 

As if to warn them, he began to catch and rip off their throats one by one while screaming "Stop! you m*therf*****s!! I said stop it!"

Before they had begun to comply, him and his team of psycho killers had already wiped out more than half of the civilians present in the bank.

The ones who had listened to him lay on the floor as they cowered in fear. Blood, entrails and body parts were scattered all over the place giving the bank's immaculate white walls and tile floorings a bloody shade of red.

Suddenly, they begun to hear the sound of police sirens outside the building.

III wanted to say something but I raised a bloody hand up and said "Don't worry…. we'll just kill them all"

He focused on the door as he felt someone coming closer to it, just as he killed the people here, he would kill every other person till that man brings himself out…. 

Actually, his real reason for coming out here was not to rob the bank, what would he need money for in a world ruled by Tobijulo? But rather his real reason for coming here was to kill him…. That damn old man.

"Put your wea….." The policeman's sentence was cut off as I threw a ball point pen with accuracy that penetrated deep into the man's skull. Blood dripped down his forehead as his outstretched hand dropped and he fell to the ground, dead.

The moment he went down, the other policemen opened fire on the men but the bullets didn't seem to do any damage to them as they charged forward and massacred all of them that came into the bank.

There was so much blood on his hands that I began to lick them while laughing maniacally "Ha ha ha ha….. Killing humans is so fun"
