Chapter 11 - Japan's Pride

Night Time.

Francis is very bothered by those survivor's attitude they are not like those desperate survivors you will read and see on movies and novels.

Instead, they have a firm look that says if they die trying it's okay. People must be desperate and greedy at this time. This is the thought that should have in Francis' view.

With his blank look, Francis is staring at the open clear sky. Stars feel so close, as they glow and twinkle.

"Maybe It's really become a new world, new world must have a new form of life."

Vince serves Francis a sleeping bag.

"So as I also assume that human may become better but there will be always a rotten one in every crowd."

"Well, it isn't weird if they acted as nothing happen. These Japanese are madmen. The survival expert country. Every team of them is a suicide squad. Just thinking of those past era where young adults aren't afraid to commit suicide and they also have a place to do that. Madmen right? " Francis lamented. He is like them but they die for a reason him. He can't die for a promise and he doesn't have a goal.

He lives like an Neet, No goal in life. He steals money from shady business and corrupt officials.

*Clingg...

"Master our alarm has been triggered," Vince said.

"Say, Is it time to walk with them again? If this world can't be destroyed then why don't we make humans a better being? That we can avoid what happened to me to others." Francis said seriously.

"I can't answer that master."

They heard steps near.

Sound of gun ready to fire.

"State your name! There is a curfew according to rules and you can be punished by forced hard labor." Said by a soldier pointing his handgun. Behind him is a dozen of soldier with rifles. In the shadow, a young girl with vines like hair and pinkish face is hiding.

"Francis is the name, I ain't a resident from your settlement. Just a wanderer." He said while smiling. Then stare blankly.

"Did you speak Japanese?" Francis said.

The soldier also become stupified. They hear him speak in English but they also easily understand him.

"Our brain seems evolve as the world changes break the limit on our body," Francis said that enlighten them. It wasn't hard for them as a special case also happens to some of their resident that is marked as espers.

Francis tries to stand up but his force snaps the giant tree he is leaning on. The giant tree is like a mahogany its color is red as tall as the tallest skyscraper.

A tremor came as it goes down.

"Ohh.. fuck." He hears the clicking sound of guns and heavy gulp and breaths of the soldiers.

"Stand down! Stand down!" They are surely shaken.

A casual action of him make a giant tree that is so tough that even bullet can't penetrate it's bark, break and collapse

"Wow! Oni-chan is so strong. Megu only manages to make a shallow 5 inches space on its trunks! Nicesu!!" A cute 4'2 pinkish and vines like hair came behind the soldiers. Her mouth is wide open and stars filled her eyes due to astonishment. A perfect definition of loli.

"Sorry about that Mr. Francis. I'm Gin" The leader of the team apologizes as he also feels fear. If this man wants them dead they can't do a thing he thinks.

"Oni-chan how did you become strong!? Megu wants to become strong too! I want to make giant houses on top of the tallest tree like the birds!" Megu said as she jumps while gesturing big.

"This is Megumi Green. Our settlement agrees to give privilege to ability users. Only them have family names and their family to classified them to normal ones." He said as he wants to make Francis stay. More insurance for them to live comfortably.

"Sorry, I don't plan to stay so knock it off. But I will stay for a month. I need information. I'm a scientist also but lacks equipment will make it hard. BTW where are you guys going with a young girl." Francis said while pointing at Megu.

"We are tasked to help her practice in a more durable tree to have a better grasp of her ability." Gin said.

"Oh!! That's a big no-no. After the next 100 meters is a territory of creepers. Rat size mantis but razor-sharp sickles. Can penetrate these barks. Lurks with a team of 10 and those are nasty ones that can camouflage and stalk them while others call back up. So from 10 to 100 creepers per prey. The biggest number I saw is more than thousands just to kill a mutated tiger. So go ahead have fun." Francis smiles and said.

Francis walks toward the direction of the settlement.

As Vince is in stealth mode just behind Francis.
