I got down to the training room to do my everyday pain. But for some reason, I didn't saw Sutasi anywhere. It was supposed to be his day. I tried to remember the routine in my head. Just to be sure I didn't get it wrong. But after a few minutes, I found myself right. An unusual person came down the basement and entered the glass room. He was bold in size.
"Mr. Heriss?"
"Yeah, Sutasi is handling some work so I'm his replacement. Don't be that shocked. It's just for today, haha."
His unnatural laugh made me sick. Why did he even do that? He was wearing his apron.
"You better took that off."
"Oh, you're right." As I pointed it, he got it off immediately and placed it aside. It would be a hinder to the practice if it got in the way. I don't know why but his apron was rather big. Well, his body is also huge. There's nothing he could do.
"Let's see how strong you got from the last few days." He was rather motivated to test my strength. I'm also excited as well.
"Fine."
I got into my position with a bit of a pounded chest. Should I hold back a little?
I leaned into my right foot and jumped into the air with a blast of wind. My left leg went up as I began floating.
"Take this!" I shouted while making a dropkick on his chest. Its speed was eighty kilometers per hour. I could feel every bit of my muscle running wild.
"Give your all, Jodan." He tackled it head-on. Without moving a bit he took the blow. I hardly understand the logic behind it. However, he was very confident about his physical power, where I who greatly lays on my ability.
"How? How could you possibly take that…." I was speechless. My mouth hung open. Even Luna couldn't block that blow without using the ability.
"Hahahaha, you got a little bit strong. I have to admit that." He chuckled with an unmeasurable much.
You should stop doing that. It pissed me off so much.
"But isn't enough to kill one of Kurama's members. The problem is not in your ability rather your physical strength. Though you build up a pretty body there, you weren't able to fully use it. Remember strength is an asset as well as a liability. It depends on you how you use it. If you don't use it in the right manner it would become a cause for you."
"I can't deny that part," I said while thinking. I know my problem more than any other person.
"Fine, today I'll teach you how to fully use your body." Mr. Heriss grinned ear to ear. He bought out a pair of knives from his right pant pockets.
"Wait! Wait! You can't bring it here." I tried to complain but was turned down.
"I made rules here, Jodan." He was seriously going to kill me. This was his intention from all along?
"Drag your feet, Jodan. Think of me as one of Kurama's underlings. Fight!"
Hearing that made my body shiver with rage. The rage that wouldn't go away without killing.
"Ahhh!" My eyes turned red as the rose. But there wasn't any beauty to it. The system got into the battle mood.
[Battle more has been activated: every skill will get a boost.]
"You can't use your ability. Only physical Moves." He warned me with a serious face. I liked that look. It's not as irritating as the grinning one.
I smashed attempted to smash his gut but as I did that I couldn't feel any sensation in my hand. It went down like a rotten flower.
"Huh?"
"That's a wrong move, Jodan. You use your brain also. You can't just randomly throw punch and kicks. " I thought he didn't want to strike as I'm still learning. However, my prediction was gone wrong as I didn't expect it.
"Let's see if you can take this." He grabbed my head. It might have appeared small to his huge hand. Then without wasting a second, he drove it down on the floor, making me pass out the next second. My head was spinning round around. Daziness got me.
"Are...are you alive? Jodan!"
A loud voice went into my ear that was heavily wounded.
"What a magnificent move!" I couldn't help but utter that. His physical strength is in a whole different league than mine.
"I thought you would pass out. I see, You have improved quite a few in those days. I can see great potential in you. If you continue doing hard works, I'm sure you would overcome all of us. Not only that you might even surpass Kurama."
"Is that so? Then when I do that I would kill him first."
"Haha, you are still not enough to challenge him," Mr. Heriss ridiculed.
"R-right." I scratched the back of my head. "I have been wondering if you're that strong physically than how much power you would be with your ability. It would totally be overwhelming."
"Haha, perhaps it would be. But you have to remember that not everyone can be perfect on both sides. That would destroy the balance of the world."
I didn't understand what he meant by that. Was he mean he wasn't able to utilize his ability yet? Or it's just a bluff?
"Well, what if someone became perfect on either side just like said, what would you do? For example Kurama" I went off while looking at his rather large rounded eyes. Those eyes have nothing in them. No emotions what do ever. They're only there to do the solo purpose of the sighting.
"You sometimes ask a silly question. Unless he did anything destructive, I wouldn't interfere. However, I would try to stop him if he went out of control." As expected from Mr.Heriss. Always choose to be rational. He's a great guy I have to say. Not for the reason he saved me earlier but for the reason that tries to save people. Not what I expected from a monster. You disappoint me as a monster, Mr.Heriss.
"Nobody is Perfect. Because that's how God created us." His depressed eyes fade in.
What has happened that made him who he is now. I wanted to know his story. The story that drove him out of his monstrous mind and becomes more like humans. In the end, I can't fully say I know him a bit for the time I stayed here.
