It has been 1 day since Jesus had taken the entrance exam and currently he's was walking to the City's gate to head off to Anjo Tribe. He decided to visit them since it might be the only time he can freely until school starts
'Master I know you don't care about that village. So why don't you tell me your real reason for going' Lucy said while walking beside Jesus, going to the city's gate to leave
'It's true that I don't care about them but I've decided to go to checked up on them to see the progress they made so far'
'Ah, that makes sense, since that girl from yesterday looks familiar.'
'Exactly, if they manage to have multiple Mid-teir demons then that village will be big in the future and since I helped them, they owe me a lot' Jesus explained
'Well, she might be the only Mid-teir demon in that Tribe so I don't expect a lot from them since becoming a Mid-teir demon takes years for a demon to become one'
'But I wonder though who she is, maybe it's someone from the Distruzione Tribe before it was taken over. Well either way we'll find out once we get there' Jesus thought
Both Jesus and Lucy were having a normal conversation while walking to the City's entrance. It took them 15 minutes to walk to the City's entrance and wait in line to exit the city. Jesus got a few stares here and there mostly because of Lucy. He didn't care though as he was finally out of the city. When he was about to start his journey, Lucy asked a question
'Master do you know where the village is at?' Lucy asked
'Kinda' Jesus answered slowly
'*Sigh* Master kinda isn't going to cut it. If you say kinda that means you don't know'
'When I say kinda Lucy then I kinda know the way'
'But if you don't remember clearly, it could get us lost and will take us more than 2 days to reach there'
'Well since I don't know the path clearly, you can lead the way. Also, we'll try to get there in less than 2 days since last time we only walk. So Instead of walking, we're going to keep running until I'm tired'
'But I can't catch up to you in speed though. You will leave me in the dust master'
'Yeah I know that, you could just rest in my Shadow the whole way'
'But I want to run as well. I don't want to stay in your Shadow the whole day, I'll get bored'
'Well it's either that or you can run with me at my full speed, but I won't stop even if you get tired'
'Alright fine' Lucy then disappeared like a mist going into Jesus Shadow with a grumpy attitude
'Let's hope she's not like that all day since I don't want to deal with her grumpy attitude' Jesus said internally
'Can you go now master? It's better to get there sooner than later'
'I already know so be quiet unless it's necessary, and don't start complaining along the way' Lucy was a little bit shock by what she heard from her master but at the same time wasn't, as he usually doesn't mind Lucy complaining over small stuff but today it looks like he isn't having it
'O-Ok master' Once she said those 2 words, she went completely silent
'I should get going if I want to get there before nighttime'
Boom!!!
Jesus was now off breaking the sound barrier the instant he started sprinting making the demons around him surprised as it sent a shockwave all around them. Jesus during his journey was encountering monsters that deemed no threat to him and killed them like they were an ant. Jesus got lost at some point but he didn't realize it until Lucy pointed it out in which listen to Lucy's directions to the Anjo Tribe. He even saw two demons traveling but simply just ignored them both and continued past them. So overall he traveled for 3 hours doing nothing but running and taking a break here and there
He stops running as he could see some gates in front of him which looks bigger the last time he was here. He slowly started walking up to the gates alongside Lucy
'I guess there Tribe really did get an upgrade huh. The gate and the walls here are bigger the last time I was here I believe'
'No, you're right master, these gates are bigger than the last time we were here'
While Jesus was walking towards the gate, he heard a scream from the top of the wall
"Who are you? I don't recognize you at all" The guard yelled at Jesus
"We don't allow outsiders here to our village so get the fuck out of here or else," The other guard said rudely
Jesus did not bother looking up, ignoring them both, and continue walking towards the gate. Once he was close enough, he stopped and looked directly at the guards
"Motherfucker, if you don't listen then we will rip out your-" The guard was cut off as the guard next to him was shaking him profusely. He turns around and saw his terrified expression
"T-That man, It's Jesus," The guard said with a shaky voice
Once the other guard heard that, he directly look at Jesus's face and sure enough it was him. The Guard was now terrified as he saw the very man that murdered multiple demons in an instant when they were fighting the Distruzione Tribe.
'Shit I might be killed by him since I talk to him rudely.'
"You get the chief and I'll wait here and watch over him" The other guard simply nod and started sprinting to get the chair
'It looks like they finally recognize me. They seem terrified but Oh well' Jesus thought
'They seem terrified of you master. I'm guessing they're afraid because they might think you kill them'
'That's probably the case'
Jesus was waiting at the front gate while peaking glances at the guard, in which the guard flinched every time while Lucy was laughing when she saw the guard flinch. After a few minutes of complete silences, the gate was now starting to open
"Y-You may come In," The guard said in which Jesus obliged
Once he was inside the village, the gate behind him closed
"Please follow me, I'll lead you to our chief" Jesus nods his head and begins following the guard
While he was following the guard in front of him. A few people were staring at him and Lucy but he just ignored them and face his head straight. The guard was a little bit nervous leading Jesus as he was still a little bit scared of him. He wanted to apologize for yelling at him but was too scared
So after a few minutes of walking, they finally reach their destination. The Guard bow to Jesus and started to run off. Jesus shrugged his shoulders and started heading inside the building where the chief was at. Once he was inside, he could see a normal-looking living room except a TV.
Jesus sat in one of the couches and try to relax after 3 hours of running. He knew no one was inside this house so he simply waited for a few minutes until he heard the front door open and saw a man that was tall that looks to be around his 50s and having 3 horns on his forehead. It was no other than Alex
"It has been a while Jes-"but before he could finish his sentence, He looked directly at Jesus's eyes that seemed almost lifeless like he was staring at a man who doesn't want to live anymore. there was a few seconds of complete silence until Jesus open his mouth
"Stop staring into my eyes. You're being creepy" Jesus said, which snapped Alex out of his dazed
"Oh sorry about that, it just you look different than I remember"
"Uh-huh, sure"
"So you finally decided to visit our Tribe, it's been almost 2 months since the last time we saw you. So how do you think of our village?" Alex asked
"It got an upgrade that's for sure. Even the buildings are bigger. So what did you with the other village?"
"Ah that, we abandoned it as there weren't that many people left since you killed most of them during our battle"
"Wow, so almost all of them were that battlefield, that's quite something. So how many demons were left that decided to join your side?"
"About 10 hunters and 20 non-hunters, so 30 in total. Making our village having over 100 demons and we didn't need to change much as our village was big from the start so we added a few extra buildings. We even build you a house"
"Why? I don't even live here"
"So when you visit, you can sleep in there," Alex said with a smile lying through his teeth which Jesus became skeptical
"Uh-huh right, well I'm going to explore the village to see what's changed" Jesus got up and started to exit out through the door
Once he was out, Alex sigh as he definitely notices he was different
'He definitely changed. the way he talks and his facial expression changed. I'm quite worried for him'
