I didn't know what was happening, I was standing right in front of the person who attacked me.I had no way of dealing with her because I had no weapons and I had Jean she might be in danger if we fight here.
"Rest assured I have no intention of fighting you," she said.
"How can I tell you just bluffing"
"If I wanted you dead you wouldn't be standing there"
She took off her mask, "I am not here to fight"
"Okay! I'll buy it"I secretly pulled out a gun from my inventory and hid it in my back just in case she attacked me."So what brings you here?"I asked her
"I have come to talk," she said.
"About you attacking me out of nowhere for no reason,"I said.
"I was simply testing your capabilities, you possess extraordinary skills and at such a young age, not only that you are living quite comfortably in these harsh times not suffering like other people I have seen."
"Thanks, I guess, why would you test me?"
"I might require your assistance in the near future"
"What makes you think I am gonna help you?"
She pulled out a katana sword from her bag. I quickly pulled out my gun and pointed at her,
"Don't even think about it".She threw her sword at me, I caught it.
"What's this?"
"Compensation for attacking you".I lowered my gun and looked at the sword, I pulled it out from its sheath. The blade was beautiful, it was my first time looking at a blade so light and beautiful.
"That sword is ten times sharper and stronger than any average blade, it is what we use"
"Wow this is a good sword" she threw a shuriken at me, I quickly deflect it with my sword.
"Hey! What was that for?"She pointed at the shuriken, it was cut in half.
"See that is no ordinary sword"
"Fine I'll take this as compensation but you'll have to give me something else as compensation for attacking me with that shuriken".
"Fine then what is it that you desire?" she asked and we both gave each other a serious look.
"Tell me your name?"
"That's it that all you want?" she was giving me a surprised look.
"Yes and your real name"
"Fine then my name is Yukino Hasashi of the Hasashi clan"
"Well nice to meet you Yukino my name is Niam Walker and yes if you need help ask me I'll think about it"I turned around I was going back inside but I turned around while saying"Say would you like some tea?" she disappeared"I guess not"
10th June 2020
5 months passed, I kept training Jean teaching her everything I can that can help her in survival, I didn't have to worry about food and supplies since I stored enough. I didn't go outside and I was still level 12 but I unlocked a new skill. I didn't bother hunting zombies because I needed to be there for Jean. Why cause of Yukino she easily got inside this place and I didn't know if I could trust her even though she gave me a really cool sword but she also attacked me twice. As for Jean, she knew how to fight she used to do kickboxing and she was still good at it. Physically she was tough so I made her learn judo and jiujutsu so she would become even better and she was a fast learner and talented enough to master moves in days that would take weeks to master. She didn't know how to use melee weapons and big guns. So out of her own choice, she learned how to fight with knives. She became an expert with knives both in throwing and close combat. Also, she learned how to use guns of bigger calibers like 500 magnum pistols and rifles also machine guns. She also managed to learn climbing and parkour. I took her to the nearest building that wasn't finished in construction and taught her how to climb and parkour, she learned to do that pretty well.
10 am
I was sparring, and we have been doing this for an hour.
"Good enough that's all" we both bowed to each other.
"Jean now for on your classes are over"
"You mean the martial art class"
"No, every class"
"What?Why?Am I not good enough is that it? You know I have been working really hard"
"No I meant there is nothing left for me to teach you, you learned everything I wanted you to learn and now you are graduated from my hellish classes".
"Niam your serious"
"Yes I do recommend you keep practicing" she came and hugged."Thanks for everything"
After my lesson, I went to my armory. Since I had too many weapons I decided to make an empty apartment my armory. I began to continue my work I was building my new weapon, I was making a sword combined with a shotgun. A strong sword is attached to the automatic shotgun and the buttstock can be used as a hilt. I was busy with this weapon for over a month I came up with an idea of making a weapon that can be used as both a melee weapon and firearm. Finally I was done now the only thing left was to test it out on zombies. The shotgun would work but the sword I wonder if it would work. I went back to my apartment Jean prepared some food on the table.
"Oh so we're having burger and fries today my favorite"
"Well today we are celebrating"
"Cause you finally got graduated from my hellish classes"
"No cause"She brought a cake and put it on the table"it's your birthday, Happy Birthday Niam"
"What? how did you know?"I was surprised.
"You told me once"
"When?"
"Oh, when you were telling me about your star. You mentioned your date of birth and I saved that on my smartphone"
We finished eating, "Here's a small present "she gave me a box.
I opened it, it was a small knife"Oh this is a sweet blade"
"It was mine it was one of the first knives I ever bought when me and my dad went to the hunting store."
"Well this is great thank you, you know I never celebrated my birthday before with my family"
"what?why?"
"Well you see me and grandfather weren't really close and as for my relatives"
"Yeah I know "
"You know the first birthday gift I ever got was this pendant that I am wearing"
I showed her my pendant that I wore, a pendant made out of black crystal and in a circular shape representing yang.
"It was a gift from my master Azrael on my 13th birthday and as for my second gift it was a .44 magnum pistol, a smith and Wesson model 29 from my favorite movie Dirty Harry on my 14th birthday from Azrael and on my 15th birthday a colt navy and peacekeeper .45 from the movie the good, the bad and the ugly a gift from.."
"Azrael"
"No from grandpa and on my 16th birthday he send me a peacekeeper replica of the movie the expendables and a coach gun made out of titanium, he sure knew how much I loved guns"
"Whoa! You gotta show me those"
"I don't have them"
"What? Why? Where are they now?"
"Well they are in a safe, a storage at chandler's holdings"
"Why are they there?"
"Well I needed a license to keep them or else they would have been confiscated even though I did have a Glock which I bought illegally but I wasn't afraid to lose this gun"
"I see"
After dinner, Jean and I were doing the dishes."Say Niam"
"Yes"
"How about you and I get your guns back?"
"What?"
"You heard I am ready now to move out now and we can get your guns back"
"Jean I know those guns are important but I can't risk your life"
"Niam you have been preparing me for this let me get in the action and besides I wanna see how much I have grown"
"Fine we'll go out tomorrow"
