The New Hunt

(After the meeting with the Hirata Patriarch.)

[Location: Black Merchant's Secret Basement]

" Hrah! " Vengeance Hunter pants after lifting so many weights and done so many training to increase his physical status.

<'Advanced Battle Training Session III' Completed.>

<STR (Strength): +12>

<DUR (Durability): +10>

<VIT (Vitality): +9>

" That won't do. " Black Merchant appears behind him.

" Since you're going to fight an enemy, whose strength comes from speed, increasing your body's ATK and DEF percentage are not enough. "

" What you need, is to increase your AGI (Agility) and SNS (Sense), as well your INT (Intelligence) for that matter. " Black Merchant adds it.

" Instead of this physical training, you should instead add more skills to your sleeves as you already on the top of the cliff with the skills you have. "

" My skills are still not enough, they were for A-Rank enemies, remember? " Vengeance Hunter replied.

" Besides..., despite what you just said... "

" Shouldn't I prepare my body for his powerful attacks, too? " Vengeance Hunter tells the question.

" Yes, I get the point. "

" Despite your preparations, it will still be enough for you to do so. "

" Right, even Kamui believes it if he were here. " Black Merchant says as Vengeance Hunter draws his <Black Sharp: Blade> at him.

" Oh, did I hit the nerve? " Black Merchant asks.

" Yeah, I get it, it's not easy to feel defeated again after your countless victories over your enemies. " Black Merchant says that as his hand touches the blade.

" But still, this was to be expected. " Black Merchant grips it and suddenly the blade made from Vengeance Hunter's ability cracks.

" After you eliminate Bludgeon and Sharp Edge, you just made yourself enter a whole new level. "

" A new expansion to your Vengeance Quest, new enemies to fought. "

" And it seems, the new patch of enemies is already here... " Black Merchant grips the blade further as he fully crashed it into pieces.

" You can still make another one, right? " Black Merchant asks while Vengeance Hunter could only be silent.

" This whole thing is just like in the games, isn't it? " Vengeance Hunter asks the Black Merchant.

" After killing Prof. Vile and inheriting his System... "

" I mean 'your' System, made from the device he once stole from you. "

" I realized that life in itself is more of a game than the video games itself. "

" Many reject this notion but..., now as I see it from my perspective. "

" Yes, kid. " Black Merchant replied.

" Just because you finished one, doesn't mean it will end. "

" As time still ticks, a new patch of things will come in the future. "

" Whether it'll be allies or foes, it's up to you to succeed on your quest, alone. " Black Merchant says as he turns back.

" Speaking on your Quest..., I already added one as part of your 'Story Quest'. "

" Take a look. "

" Thanks for the lecture, Black Merchant. "

" I should get going now. " Black Merchant says as Vengeance Hunter quickly leaves his sight.

" He shouldn't leave that early. "

" *Sigh* He really want to end that Kamui that instant, didn't he? " Black Merchant asks as he just close his eyes seeing Vengeance Hunter just left him that fast.

(Meanwhile.)

[Raichi Kamui's Residence]

" Vengeance Hunter is dealt with... " Buzzkill was there, meeting Kamui in person.

" He was nothing, just heartbroken loser with a lot of hatred. "

" The Great Me could see it behind that black armour of his. "

" The Great Me could tell he did this just to satisfy his sorrow, nothing more. " Kamui was sure on what he says.

" Do you able to identify him? " Mind Master asks as he was also present in the meeting.

" No need, whoever he is, he's nothing! " Kamui says it, immediately making the two S-Rank Heroes pissed.

" You didn't unmask him!? " Mind Master shouts, as his ability is slightly used, his voice becomes more audible.

[Ability: Transe Telepathy]

[Skill: Telepath Wave]

" Hold it, telepath nerd. " Kamui says as he began to pull his sword a bit, immediately summoning a crimson flash unlike before.

" Don't try to use brain power on The Great Me. "

" You know I already pulled the real blade of my sword here, right? " Kamui tells as Buzzkill sees it, seeing Kamui's sword real blade is the one that is pulled.

" Mind Master, please... " Buzzkill tells him, he understands what it means if Kamui releases his sword's real blade.

" The [Akazuchi Sword]. " Kamui tells them.

" This Great Treasure is one of the greatest remnants of 'Ragnarok'. "

" The Great blade of Blood & Thunder, they said. "

" This sword, behind the sheath that covers it, has two kinds of its blade. "

" First is the 'Thunder Blade Layer'..., this Golden Blade Layer 'The Great Me' often use to fight weaklings for sport, giving them less damage than it should be but still enough. "

" Just ask my previous enemies as well as Vengeance Hunter about this. "

" And the last one, is this fellow The Great Me is pulling right now. "

" The 'Real Crimson Blade', when The Great Me released this... "

" You better run or call Hellion for help, if he wants to for your pitiful sake. " Kamui tells them immediately making Mind Master holds himself as the sheer danger he could felt coming out from the blade.

Listening to that, Buzzkill looks at Mind Master, staring at him to stand down as this is not the time to pressure Kamui, they're not capable enough, a stare which Mind Master understand as the two are secretly talking with their minds behind Kamui.

" Find, have it your way, Kamui. " Mind Master said it with an annoyed tone.

" We will take your word and tell Hellion that you did things godspeed. " Mind Master and Buzzkill turn their backs but as they turn their backs.

" Hold it, you two. " As the two were going to leave, someone they all recognized appeared before them out of nowhere, they were surprised at first, but knowing the person, they knew it was something they should've known.

" Great Hellion? " The two S-Ranks says as Hellion walks on them, approaching straight towards Kamui.

" Are you sure you already dealt with him, Mr. 'Great Me'? " Hellion asks Kamui about it.

" You Heroes are just cowering over nothing. " Kamui just respond that to him, with his usual attitude.

" If The Great Me could easily defeat the loser and break his spirit without any effort, then why you and all people should be afraid of him, huh? "

" Is it because, that loser killed your weakling siblings, perhaps? " Kamui asks Hellion about it, as Hellion respond to him with a slight smile.

* Hellion chuckles. *

" I see..., you did it without any effort, mmm? " Hellion says to him as he smiles, during his smile he points Kamui's nose as he sees it bandaged.

" Then tell me something, Mr. 'Great Me'. "

" What's that bandage on top of your nose...? Hmm... "

" Does someone finally manage to hit you? " Hellion asks which made Kamui get sensitive at the moment.

" What are you implying? " Kamui asks as soon as Hellion mentions that.

" Oh, Great Kamui... " Hellion shows his smug.

" You're not telling me that you can be sensitive now, didn't you? "

" For finally seeing you in the state of defeat. " Hellion tells Kamui that as he chuckles.

" Ah, look at you, 'Great Kamui'. "

" Zapping away from a 'loser'... *chuckles* "

" Ah, makes me wonder why you let the Vengeance Hunter be..., if you're really can do it without no effort then you should've killed him and bring his head to me, unmasked. "

" But sadly, it seems I and the other Heroes put too much expectation of you, Great Villain. " Hellion turns back from Kamui as he walks away.

" 'Disaster-Threat', 'Second Strongest of the Disasters'..., what a joke. " Hellion says that as Kamui listens to it and began to remember how he was hit back then by Vengeance Hunter.

He reflects on it, realizing something from him, from his 'defeated' enemy. An attitude he never did before.

" The Great Me will finish it. " Kamui suddenly says it, making Hellion and the other two stop for a bit.

" Yeah, you heard it right, Hellion. " Kamui tells him.

" Let The Great Me tell you this, The Great Me had already sure the Vengeance Hunter won't be a problem again, The Great Me had already destroyed his spirit. "

" But, if he causes a problem again, The Great Me will finish him if it happens. " Kamui rises up and points on Hellion.

" The Great Me promises that and let you know if it's done when it happens. "

" In the meantime, you and your Heroes just sit nicely on those comfy chairs inside your HQ, the chair we Villains let you sit as we agreed to fought each other for profits and relevance. "

" Remember that 'No.1 Hero'. " Kamui says that while pointing at him as Hellion leaves him in his place.

" Hmph! " Kamui looks down at them with his raised chin, seeing the 'Heroes' left his place as he roasts them, reminding them that there's nothing they could do if the likes of him didn't cause trouble in the first place.

" The Great Me promises but it depends. "

" The Great Me still bets the Vengeance Hunter will cry in his room after I dealt with him. " Kamui says while in the other side of things.

...

(At the same time.)

[Hellios Urban District 13th 's Bullet Train Station]

[11:11 p.m.]

The place is already closed as the people are mostly at home during the time. But not all of them.

* Woman screaming. *

The woman screams as she was taken by many men with scary white masks, abducting her as they bring her inside the train the men had hijacked, activating it even without the permission of the Train Operational Centre.

The men laughs as they all bring her in, inside the train they used to take her at the time of night.

" Kekeke, she's just like the others. "

" Thank the Heroes for gradually promoting them to use public transport instead of buying their own. "

" With this, even at night, we could still catch more of her who had no choice but to use this train to go home, kakaka! " As he says that, his friends laugh but suddenly.

" Ah! " They made a confused sound, as their body are suddenly cut in half.

" Wha-? " The men asks themselves how it happened as suddenly from behind, a figure with black armour, hood, and mask comes in with the mask's crimson eyes, glaring at them with full anger as he slashed the men, using his blade to create a writing using his own blood, a writing that says.

[Vengeance Hunter].
