walking through the streets sam hummed a little eerie tune making the hair of those who heard it stand on end. 'i know they meet in his area so where are they hiding?' then the wind blew by and he got a sniff of smoke a particular type of smoke.' found them!', changing his heading to follow the smoke.
it didn't take long for him to arrive at the source, "well hello ladies" he greeted the group of thirty females, "I have a proposal for you and no it's not prostitution or anything like that I just need you to ignore something that about to happen, are you interested? they were quiet for a moment before a blond stood up and walked over to him sam guess she was probably one of the leaders or just a hothead.
"what do you want us to ignore?" she got up in sam face.
sam took a step back before responding "just the destruction of a few other gangs".
"why do you plan to destroy them?"
"simply to train my own abilities I'm going to use them as sparring dummies" for a moment she thought about it before throwing a fist at sam's face." I'm guessing that a no then, he said as he tilted his head out of the way. ducking under the swipe at his head tried threw an uppercut at the blonde who smacked it away and the following three punches before counter-attacking with a fist at the face which sam once again ducked.' that's enough of a warm-up' sam thought before dropping down for a leg sweep.
the blonde didn't react fast enough to dodge but was able to catch her self on her hands before her head breach was cut off by sam's right foot burying its self in her stomach. knocking her own to her back where sam would have hit her in the face if she hadn't rolled away in time. refusing to give her the chance to stand sam attacked relentlessly.
this went on for a while before the blonde grabbed the male legs as she twisted away knocking off balance only by digging his other heel in was sam able to stay on his feet barely. taking the chance the blonde got back on her feet pulling a pocket knife from her pocket and aim to cut out sam's eyes.
sam blocked the blade with a dagger from the ribbon on his left arm, they pushed back and forth a bit before breaking apart, switching to a backhand grip sam charged at his opponent who evaded his slashed while giving a few of her own that only slashed the air,' it seems we're on equal grounds when it comes to our physical abilities but the way she fights tells of numerous street fights but no formal training guess she opted out of combat gym in school' ducking under the knife sam spun the dagger in his hand to stab the right arm only managing to make a shallow cut when she jumped back but drawing first blood.
"are you ready to stop now?" sam asked her flicking the blood off the dagger.
"no," she firmly stated charging at sam who sighed while he thought 'stubborn'. the moment she was within arms reach sam blurred out of her sight letting her pass the spot he previously occupied just before sam heels crashed into the back of her skull rapping her face into the concrete. landing on her back sam checked over her, "sturdy one aren't you but you should have taken my offer it would have saved you a lot of pain. enhancing his right leg sam used it to knock her out with another blow to the head.
stepping of her he turned to the other female," so whos next?"
"ME" screamed a brunette as she charged at sam with a crowbar 'i didn't know people still made crowbars,' sam murmured as he buried his fist into her stomach stooping her charge cold." NEXT!" no one moved, "fine then I come" channeling mana to his legs once more sam charge at the women, soon the area was filled with the sounds of combat that last for almost twenty minutes before they ended.
Hands on his knees sam was trying catching his breath while unconscious body laid at his feet,' my lord you lust levels are rising'.
"I expected that to happen, nothing gets my blood pumping like combat, "taking a deep breath sam wiped the dagger on the pants on one of the girls before putting it back within the folds of the ribbon, oh god how I missed this feeling." straining out his clothes the best he could sam started dragging the limp forms together before tying them together with some wire he brought just to do that." now I wait," the emerald eye boy mumbled to himself as he took a seat on the ground, "hey can you show me my skill record?"
'of course, my lord which group would you like to view?" sam quickly answered battle. scrolling through the record sam picked out the skills he used in the battle.

'i forgot to ask but how does the upgrade of skill work?'
'by an information network that spans across the galaxy to ask how to improve said skill, more times than not multiple methods are suggested.'
"hmm, that interesting I'll have to try that out someday but for now let's open the store I still haven't found anything for the delivery test," it was annoying that sam was having such a hard time picking out one item for more than at least quintillion options.
almost an hour passed before one of the females started to regain conciseness drawing sam attention from the shop,'well there the first one' sam thought as her eyes shot open wildly looking around as she struggled against the wire immobilizing her wrist and hands. her struggles affected the two to her sides making their eyelids and faces twitched in response starting a chain reaction, the one on the left looked particularly angry to be woken up to sam amusement.
the chain reaction quickly woke up all the bound females, "welcome back to the world of the waking sorry" sam announced as he stood, "for making you leave it now can we get back to negotiations I would rather not have to fight you all twice."
"fuck you," the brunette who attacked first cursed to which the redhead to her right shoulder checked her, "what?"
"oh be quiet this is your fault," the redhead took a breath to calm herself before continuing, "look my sis here is a hothead with a strong sense of justice who jumps to conclusions, knowing her as long as I have I can already guess what conclusion she jumped to but based on the fact that were mostly unharmed and clothed that means you aren't as bad as she initially thought." the brunette opened her mouth to say something but a green hair on her left shoulder checked her to shut her up, the brunette shoulder checked her inturn this quickly turned into a fight that everyone decided to ignore.
"you made it clear that you're going to crush a bunch of local gang as a form of training but let me offer you a different method, you probably heard of the seven blades warfare league?"
"I have not!" sam told her bluntly.
"ok okay" she responded blinking her eyes wide," the seven blades warfare league is a mass free for all battle that expands across the globe with hundreds of millions of participants. if two participants cross path they may battle you can even send out challenges to others so you can fight them specifically."
"I'll defiantly have to check that out later, thanks for the information!" she sighed in relief followed by her fellow gang members before sam told them how to get free of the wire.
"How the hell do you tie wire like a Chinese finger trap," she mumbled as she tried to figure out how to get her hands out of the specialty tied wire. sam sat back, watched and subtly recorded for the entire hour as the female only gang struggled their way to freedom.
when they were free sam collected his wire and then booked it before anyone could attack him. stopping a couple miles down the road sam opened the browser of his bracelet and entered seven blades warfare league into a search bar.
looking over the results sam found out why he never heard of the seven blades warfare league it was mostly talked about on the news which he didn't watch and the sports channel didn't watch that either. 'who guessed my dislike for the news and lack of interest in watching sports would lead to this, well live and learn... let's see to join the league I have to supply my combat license and my most recent health report after that's been checked I have to fill out some paperwork then a refiere will come to my house to explain the rule and do some check on my fighting style is not too much of a danger to my opponents than a few more things. when it's all said in done I'll in the SBWL."
'it seems that this will take a while, my lord,' sam hummed in agreement before closing the browser and picking up the pace to the next gang hang out he knew of and it was maybe thirty forty minutes later that sam arrived at the park filled with holographic hard light trees and fake grass. the least popular park on the whole island and thee favorite hang out of a large gang of crows, they were rather a large nuisance across the island but they went the people sam was after.
'there he is, 'sam thought as he caught sight of a green eyed male a few years older than him when he was within three yards of the older male sam called out to him blurred out of sight reappearing in front of him.throwing his right foot up sam aimed at his chin. the older male eyes widened as his head moved to the side. sam's foot scarped his cheek but sam wasn't deterred. bring his foot done on the other shoulder. knees buckling but still staying the older one spoke, "hello sam you feral brat". throwing sam's leg off him he through a few punches that missed.
sidestepping under a punch sam spoke," don't call me a brat Garry!" before going down for a leg sweep.
jumping over the leg Garry gained some distance," so you don't deny the feral part." sam didn't respond as he rushed at him. they went back forth giving and receiving or dodging blows, at some point, the crows gather around and started cheering them on. one started commenting on the fight " and black hair goes for a gut check but blonde hair spins out of the way with little grace. black hair continues his assault with punch after punch but none ar-*smack* he landed a surprise backhand."
Several hits to the face followed the backhand to every common weak point to the human body sam knew of. stepping back sam watched as Garry fell to the ground groaning in pain." thanks for the spar," the other male grumbled something sam couldn't hear with the current strength of his ears. "sorry didn't catch that?"
"I said " Garry lifted his face of the ground grabbing the fake grass with his right hand, "fuck you!". he threw the grass at sam's eyes. sighing internally he let the grass hit his eyelids. Garry launched a fist at sam's face smiling as it landed on the teen nose. only for his entire arm to explode into meaty red chunks, showering the two in blood and the entire area in silence.
"AAAAHHHHHHH" scrambling back Garry held his arms to his body, "WHAT THE FUCK, WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" pausing to take a few breaths Garry rubbed his arm to assure himself it was still there, "THAT WAS SERIOUSLY UNCALLED FOR!" sam just rubbed his eyes as he yawned. Garry spent a couple minutes screaming at sam who let it in one ear and out the other.
'what should I do for my next meal, eat at home or eat out, do I want something spicy or sweet maybe salty? I'm not particular in the mood for anything, should I let my nose lead me to food? haven't done that in a while.'
"HEY" Garry realized that sam wasn't paying attention. sam hummed and raised an eyebrow, "PAY ATTENTION WHEN SOMEONE YELLING AT YOU."
"no thanks" was sam immediate response that only made Garry Angerer. deciding it wasn't worth it Garry stood up and began to storm around the park kicking the fack trees and cursing the birds that were watching them. sam still paid the angry male no mind as his stomach was doing the thinking at the moment.
'i'll let my nose find my food, but first, I should deal with Garry before he does any damage.' standing up he walked over to the fake tree that brunette was attacking. I thought you were taking anger management classes?"
"the older male paused before answering, "I'm failing them!" striking the solid light tree screaming at the laughing crows, who only laughed louder. sam just sighed he didn't think they would help much Garry got angry so much not because he had a short fuse but how he let others light it so easily that and way he dealt with his anger by trying to break something or someone, plus that thing with his biology and soul.
"how much longer are you going to try to break a tree made of light?" Garry didn't pause while he responded, "until I feel better!"
"I've told you before that's only temporary satisfaction then you feel empty"
"I know that but that's better than the fire in my veins" screaming he slammed his fist into the tree scaring the birds out of it."WHERE THE HELL DOES THIS RAGE COME FROM" slamming his fist into the tree a couple more time seemed to finally drain away the rage for now anyway and all his energy as he dropped to his knees leaning again the tree.
'I really do wish to tell him but that would not help it would certainly pisss his off thoroughly sinking the island.' rubbing the bridge of his nose as grumbled something of favors "know any good restaurants in the area I'm buying us dinner" Garry looked up from the grass with tired and red eyes. 'i really want to tell him', the younger male thought as he saw Garry wipe away the tear tracks from his face.
"I know decent burger joint down the road it's not very popular"standing up Garry began to lead the way.
