Chapter 59 - Savanticide

The door slammed behind Aaron, as he realised something. He had nowhere to hide the gun. Fuck. He did have an inventory where his Crafting materials could be accessed, but they existed in the physical realm aswell, so he needed to find a place to store it.

He decided to hold it in his right hand, and just hide his arm with his sleeve, and just went with it. There weren't any real options without him somehow getting a Deus-Ex Machina sort of ability, so that was off the table. He had already had a ton of those, so let's get things rolling.

He walked down the hallway, which wasn't actually a long distance, considering his shared dorm was dorm 103, which was only a ten second walk to the common room. Lucky him. He saw that there were still groups of peoe in there, but he was decently short, and, even considering the fact that he had a robe on, they didn't notice him. It did help that he didn't hit off of anyone while he did this, so that's a good thing.

As he walked out, he looked behind him, and, to his surprise, he noticed Ray sitting in one of the lounge chairs, talking with some people. We're they people he knew from his previous school? It didn't matter to Aaron, but it was good to note. It would be interesting to see if they would stay friends, or be driven apart by a simple power boundary.

He couldn't see Jacob, even when he tried to see if his 'Piercing Eyesight' would do anything, but it turns out that, right now, his Piercing Eyesight ability really could only see through thin walls, and the ability got weaker the further and further away the walls were.

He switched off his Piercing Eyesight, and began looking for a sign to find his was way to the firmiary. He still hadn't explored much of the school, so this would be a great way to actually learn more about the layout of the school. He walked away from the common room entrance, and found a map implanted into the wall of the main hallway, which had a small scale version of the school on it. He just needed to go right from where he was standing, and just follow the path to the end. Simple enough.

He began walking along the linoleum floor, his footsteps almost nonexistent. He began thinking about things he should do after this. 'Oh yeah, I still have those Stat Point things that I can use to make myself stronger! I'll use those after I get this little thing done!' He though to himself, putting a smile upon his face. He couldn't wait to see the reaction of Jacob when he appeared infront of him. It would be priceless!

He, after about two minutes of walking, reached a large white door, with a sign above it, reading: "Infirmary". Simple as that. He walked up to the door, and opened it, flinging the door wide open, revealing a row of empty beds, except for three. Two of them had Jacobs little associates in them, and in the bed between them, there was Jacob, with a large patch on his shoulder, where Aaron had hit him with the shot of Gravity. Jacob bolted upright, and just saw a small child. What were they doing here....

And then he saw the mask, and the robe. He belted out screaming, as his memories of both yesterday, outside of the hunter-wares shop, and in the arena on that same day returned. He had forgotten about Aaron due to the throbbing pain in his shoulder, but now, it came back to haunt him. Two of the nurses who worked in the infirmary rushed out, and saw Jacob screaming, trying to form words as he pointed as Aaron, and they were confused, to say the least. Why was he, the most powerful student in the school, screaming at a child in fear?

Aaron smirked, as he revealed the gun he had hidden in his sleeve, held by his right hand, and fired at the two nurses with Corruption Shots, hitting them in the forehead. Aaron didn't expect much, but they fell to the ground, unconscious. They must really have had weak skulls. The screaming from Jacob shot one of his friends out of his unconsciousness, but the second he saw Aaron, he became as straight as a stick, and fainted. It was just him and Jacob awake right now, and Jacob was screaming his bloody head off. It was futile, though, as this room was soundproofed, to stop the noises of people screaming when they are injured, or receive medicine, from reaching the classes.

Aaron took his time walking up towards Jacob, as Jacob finally began forming words. "Wh...what do you WANT from me?! Why are you HERE!?" He yelled, slowly climbing from his bed, trying to back up as far as he could. Aaron just kept walking, and Jacob began forming icicles to protect himself. Like a spiky shield, but Aaron just lifted up his non-gun-holding hand, and snapped his fingers, activating Boundless Telekinesis to shatter the ice forming around Jacob, and he just continued to scream more, as Aaron got closer and closer.

Jacob backed up against the irfirmiary wall after about twenty seconds of backing up, and Aaron still kept on coming closer, as he began to speak, his mask glitching his voice up and down like usual.

"You know, Jacob...I never really liked you. You made a shitty first impression by trying to kill me and my parents, and then went on to try and fight me and two other students. This really isn't a good start to these interactions, is it? You asked me what I want, right? Why am I here? Well, I want you dead, you idiot. I'm here to kill you, and you can't stop me. You weren't a decent person, but now, I just feel mad. Die."

Before Jacob even had a chance to make another sound, the sound of flesh ripping apart was heard, Aaron used his pointed middle finger to slice through Jacobs neck, actually taking two slices, because of the size of his finger. His finger was covered in blood, and he held the head up to his head, and then dropped it to the floor.

He lifted up the mask slightly, and placed his middle finger in his mouth, as he tasted the blood.

"It tastes nice. Quite sweet. I wouldn't mind drinking this."
