Shi walked out of the house calmly, looking like the epitome of peace. He wasn't afraid of dying to these idiotic pieces of sh*t, and he already had plenty of scars from killing and seeing the horrors of war, this was nothing compared to that sh*t. After he was done with these people though, it might rival the people's experiences before they were rescued from some of the POW camps Shi had helped destroy.
He strolled into town, searching for the Unmei residence but couldn't find it. He found the next best thing though, he found their grain shop. It was empty so Shi snuck into the back of the store and started to think about the nature of fire while he waited. Fire needed 3 things to exist, fuel, oxygen, and heat. he could provide fuel with his mana, oxygen was everywhere, but he didn't know how to provide heat.
He started to break heat down, heat is just kinetic energy, so if he could create energy he could start a- "Get her a*s in here now!" a man yelled. It seemed like the moment had arrived for Shi. He moved up, scanning the room for threats, there were 5 men in the room. They each held a decently well-crafted broad-sword, Shi bristled when he saw the craftsmanship was his father's.
He could have silently taken out 2 or 3 but he was too furious to play it smart, he wanted these men to suffer. He strolled out into the middle of the room and loudly said "Hello fine gentlemen, I see you are all a bunch of little b*tches who can't pay their own d*mn debts so you turn to kidnapping a defenseless woman.
Usually, I wouldn't care what you did, but you made a fatal error, you f*cked with my family." "Is this f*cking kid serious?" one of the men said laughing, "He's not even 6 years old!" Shi immediately drew the masterfully crafted and improved fighting knife that he had made, and stabbed the man in the leg, puncturing the femoral artery. He then wrapped the leg so tightly that the blood stopped flowing out of the wound.
"I'm gonna be here a bit, so I don't want you to die so easily." Shi said to the man he had just put on the ground, "Just know that no matter what, even if your friends kill me, your leg will have to be cut off." Shi then moved to the next man, who tried to chop down at Shi, Shi held up his knife with the blade pointing down and to the right, the sword slid down along the length of the knife and slammed into the floor.
While the shock was still going through the man's body, Shi slashed the tendons in both sides of the man's collarbone, making him unable to move his arms. As the man screamed in agony, Shi crouched down and slashed both of his achilles tendons, rendering him immobile.
The third man had looked uncertain about what the mene were doing, but he still raised his sword above his head to strike down at Shi. Shi got inside his guard and slit his throat before he brought his sword down, ending his life quickly but getting covered in blood in the process. The fourth man stabbed at Shi with his sword while the fifth man chopped at Shi from the right.
Shi ducked down and to the right to give both of them no ways to hit him with their attacks. He didn't even use his knife on the man who had chopped at him, he had learned Krav Maga as part of his military training so he grabbed the man's outstretched wrist with one hand, and placed the other hand on his elbow.
Shi pulled back with his left hand as hard as he could and pushed forward with his right just as hard, both the man's humerus and radius burst out from his skin, jagged edges where they used to be connected by his elbow joint. Shi cut his achilles tendon as he continued to move around him just to make sure he couldn't escape.
There was only the ringleader left out of the 5 men, he looked like he was about to collapse. "What, how, he's only six, NO STAY AWAY, STAY THE F*CK AWAY FROM ME!!!" The man screamed, crying, there was a suspicious stain that had appeared on his jeans. "This kid is a demon, god help me, save my soul. Please save me from him, I repent, I've done terrible things but I don't deserve this!"
Shi chuckled, "You dare to beg for mercy after what you did?" Shi asked "Do you think I'm a demon, well I can't completely say you're wrong on that one, but you woke it by kidnapping my f*cking mother! You know, I could've used magic on you worthless pieces of dog sh*t, but I enjoy getting up close and personal with scum like you.
Also, I might have accidentally killed you if I used magic and we can't have that can we?" Shi suddenly darted up and stabbed the man in the kneecap. Usually he wouldn't do that because there was a chance that the knife might skid of the cap and just slice across the shin, but this was a master smith's knife amplified by magic, so it slid in effortlessly, slicing the tendons in Mubona's knees.
Mubona cried out, collapsing face down on the ground, muffling his cries. Shi stomped on Mubona's hands, feeling the bones break and hearing an extremely satisfying crunch. "I'll be right back, make yourselves comfortable, cause you're gonna be in for a looooooong night"
Shi joked as he grabbed his mother and quickly made his way home. After he got back, Toishi sprinted towards them and tightly hugged both of them, "How are you back?" he asked Kea, she nodded towards Shi as an answer. "What happened?" he asked. "I incapacitated the men who took mom."
Shi said simply. Toishi looked skeptical at this until Kea spoke up, "It's true, our son was like a god of death as he dismantled those men." Toishi looked at Shi in surprise, "You know how to fight?" he asked. "Of course," Shi answered, "If I'm forging weapons, I need to know how to use them, no?"
"Of course you should, f*ck me, why didn't I do that? I could've protected Kea myself!" Toishi yelled at himself. "Dad, calm down, you have me now. There's no reason to get worked up for these human sh*tstains. When I master magic, I swear nobody will dare to f*ck with any of you." Shi meant every word.
"Now please wait here and be safe." Shi said, he handed his father a sword that Shi had forged and improved, it was higher quality than any other sword in the village. "Take this and use it only if necessary, I have some business to take care of. I'll be out a little while."
