Instantly there was a terrible voice:
Stroph had unique eyes, his vision was much better than that of an ordinary man. To notice every muscle shift wasn`t a problem for him and naturally, having such an unusual skill Stroph had mastered the "Cold Reading".
Although he didn't even introduce himself and just got into the car, it didn't mean that every inch of her body wasn`t noticed by him.
He understood very well that most likely she had no good intentions and she wasn`t Anthony's person.
In addition, although he couldn`t learn much from "Snow White Darkness" last night, it taught him a simple trick, which is owned by anyone even with no great power.
Feel the aura of others and spread it. It was similar to the way the pupils at school forgot how to breathe and fell to the floor from fear, seeing the Demonic Armored Ogre and some especially impressionable or incredibly weak fainted.
All this happened because of the presence or the aura of such a terrible monster of the third rank. If an ordinary person meets such a monster, most likely, he will not even be able to move out of fear and will be killed. Although the monster won`t do anything for this, he just instinctively releases his aura.
Besides the "Cold Reading", Stroph also felt a weak killer aura coming from this woman. The aura and his own judgment was enough to be ready to kill her.
The woman also had her own thoughts about this strange young man. The moment Stroph looked at her whole her back was soaked in a cold sweat, she was terrified.
Stroph just started emitting his aura as "Snow White Darkness" had told, because of that the woman began to worry whether everything would be okay, she had many thoughts:
In order to Stroph didn`t suspect anything, they were moving straight towards the "Slums".
They were driving for a great while, the way to the barrier between the "City of Silver Wings" and Elliford was incredibly long. It takes about five hours to get to the 'Barrier' that separates the "Outer Circle' and the 'Slums', and after getting to the slums territory, they will need about ten more hours to get to Elliford.
If you want to travel between the cities of the "Outer Circle," you can safely use the super-sonic airplanes or trains with magnetic levitation. For long distances no one has used cars, it is too long. But the maximum of what there in the slums were the old trains on the rails and a lot of roads where not the fastest and the most expensive cars were driving along.
About four hours later they began to approach the area where the "Barrier" is located, but at this moment Julia changed the direction and went into some backwoods.
She decided to check Stroph's reaction, but she saw only his unemotional face and a calm look directed at the window.
Within 30 minutes they arrived in some stale alley with broken houses and big cracks on the roads.
Next to the "Barrier" no one lived. It was too close to the slums and eventually all those who were near the barrier had moved far away from it.
Julia stopped the car and then said: "Boy, come out, we need to talk".
After these words she opened the car door and got out of it. Stroph did the same in silence and then asked her with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Why do we have to stop and get out of the car for a conversation? And what kind of conversation is it?"
Julia frowned when she heard his dissatisfaction and said: "Listen to me carefully, you have two options either to come with me to the "Inner Circle" and serve the country, or..."
"Or what?" Stroph already understood everything, but he had to make sure it and moreover he didn`t want to kill a potential driver after all.
The woman was silent for a while and then said harshly: "Or I will kill you if you don't serve the government in the Inner Circle, it means that such a talented person is dangerous for us and you should be eliminated".
Stroph was not surprised and after looking at her he asked: "What kind of weapon do you use?"
After these words, everything became clear. Julia scowled and squeaked her teeth: " The blades".
Although Julia had the right to kill Stroph, it would be much better if he agreed to go with her to the Inner Circle. She had very strict bosses, by the way she wasn't happy with the fact that she had to kill Stroph herself.
"О? And where are they?" After these words a terrifying aura began to flow out of Stroph.
To be exact not only his and also of "Snow White Darkness", but Julia couldn`t know about it.
Initially, she wanted to kill him with her bare hands, she was sure that breaking his bones and twisting his neck would be as easy as at a toy doll. But the terrible aura coming from Stroph made her change her plans.
She instantly bounced off the car and quickly pulled out of the trunk two azure blades, each about three feet long (1 m).
It was seen that they were far from the level of school weapons or even what he saw in the branch.
They were certainly weaker than Charles` "Ripper", but very, very good.
[Paired Blade - "Azure"]
[Rarity - normal]
[Damage - 10]
[Skills - no]
Stroph was not impressed with the characteristics of the weapon, but she could kill it.
Also after a couple of seconds the blades were covered with a pale white glow.
Seeing it, Stroph took a slight breath and said: "And is it not a shame for a third rank fighter to attack a high school student?"
Julia answered nothing and got ready for the fight.
At that moment in Stroph's head there was a couple of calculations
After a short reflection, Stroph nodded to himself and stretched his hand forward, pointing it at Julia as if he was holding a gun.
Julia was surprised at such a stupid action and said: "Boy, are you an idiot? I`ll kill you..."
The next moment she felt an unimaginable pain and started falling to the floor. Her leg was shot off and her arm was torn off, but she was still alive. During the fall she looked at Stroph's hand and her lips trembled from what she saw.
Just a second ago his hand was empty, but now it had a large black-and-white revolver with a trickle of smoke coming from the muzzle.
