"No sir!" Haider replied. His voice was unwavering and not containing a hint of doubt.
"I read your report Haider," the captain said.
"Thank you sir,"
"Stop speaking and let me talk... Haider do you understand what kind of trouble you are in?"
"I do not sir."
"You killed 10 humans in the establishment made for humans." Haider was confused, he did not kill anyone so he asked the captain to further explain.
"You cut of the d**ks of several men, you may have thought that you were teaching them a lesson but these men bled to death, normally this would not be a problem at all even if it was caused by a red hair elf like you but you know better than anyone, ever since that humans rights act was created and passed by the summoned heroes 1 year ago you know this will get political." the captain explained to Haider. He explained to him how he could get fired and go to jail.
"But I'll do you a favour, I'll cover this up for you."
"Thank you,sir... but may I ask why?" Haider asked. Normally when someone did him a favour there was a catch. There always was a catch.
"I need you to Keep up the good work," the captain said.
"I beg your pardon."
"Haider, unlike everyone in this place you have something to prove which is why you work hard, ever since you came here everyone picked up the slack and started working hard and took their job more seriously. You messed up but that is normal, shit happens, if no one in this world messed up we would all be perfect angels wouldn't we?" the captain praised Haider some more telling him how he raised everyone's competitive spirit.
As Haider was about to leave when the captain called him one last time and said, "Don't let this get to your head Haider and do not disappoint me."
"I won't sir."

Haider was eating his lunch at the normal restaurant he always went to. As he was munching on his food 3 people sat down next to him.
Sind and Winfrey sat on each side of Haider each holding on to his arm while Horatio sat down in front of him.
"Have you heard the news Haider?" Horatio asked.
"What news?"
"The gaurds that were killed at the abyss." Horatio whispered.
"The abyss gaurds were killed?" Haider asked with a shocked face. "I thought they were part of the most elite force trained since birth to gaurd the abyss and make sure nothing comes out of it."
"That is not true," Sind said. She was currently sniffing Haider discreetly so that no one could see her. "The abyss gaurds are just normal people who were hired to stand in front of the abyss in which nothing comes out of."
"They are normal people so even if monsters came out of the abyss they would not be able to handle it. The rumour that they are part of an elite force made to gaurd the abyss so that no monsters come out is merely a rumour made so that people could sleep peacefully at night without having to worry about monsters." Winfrey chimed in. Winfrey was a short flat chested kuudere with a monotonous voice just like Horatio. She clung onto Haider's arm like a koala to a tree.
"Who killed them?" Haider asked. "Surely the murderer would be found by now."
"That's the thing, no one knows who killed them or even how they died."
"What do you mean?"
"There are no signs of injury except for a hit on the head that knocked them out but besides that the autopsy shows nothing."
"Where they poisoned?"
"There was no poison found in their body and no needle marks anywhere on their body."
Haider closed his eyes and thought for a minute.
"What are you thinking about?" Sind asked.
"It's just that I met this man yesterday, he was really strong and he seemed to not care whether anyone was an elf or human," Haider said. 'It could have been him.' he thought to himself.
"How strong was he?"
"Really strong,"
"Who would win if you and him fought full power without holding back?" Horatio asked. He was actually quite curious about this man Haider spoke of. Even Winfrey and Sind were curious as they stared at Haider waiting for an answer.
"I don't know how strong he is but his aura and mana were in an own league of their own. His mana reserves was thick and massive and his aura was overwhelming and sharp, if I had fought him at full strength I highly doubt I could leave a scratch on him." Haider said.
"But that's impossible, your the strongest person ever in our schools history."
"I highly doubt it but even if I was, for me to compare my strength with that mans would be an insult to his hard work and dedication. The world is too large for me to call myself the strongest."
Horatio, Sind and Winfrey watched in silence as Haider ate his food in silence.
"Hey Red head," Haider looked at the person calling him. Winfrey, Sind and Horatio also glared daggers at the man who called him Red head. The man gulped and said what he was going to say.
"The... The captain... The captain is calling for you."
Haider stood up reluctantly as he had just been disturbed from his meal. He had already met the captain earlier on today so what was it that he wanted. "I'll come with you," Winfrey said. "Me too." Sind said. "I shall also accompany you." Horatio added.
"It's alright, the captain called for me. Just continue eating your food."
"No, I do not eat food from such a plebian establishment, I shall also go with you to the captains office because I can do what I want, I am the daughter of Duke Der-" Sind stopped speaking as Haider shook her arm of him. He walked of leaving the three sitting in their seats.
"You know he doesn't like people using their titles to get what they want, that goes double for us since we are his friends." Horatio said to Sind.
"I forgot," Sind said in a small voice.

"Your brother is... dead!" the captain said to Haider.
