(A/N: Hello, uh about the previous chapter's name, it was supposed to be 'FIRST HUMAN CHANGED' and not 'FIRST HUMAN KILL?!'. I deeply apologize for the mix. My mind was so focused on writing the story that I did not noticed it. So, now that I told you all... Have fun Reading!! :)
–––––––––––––––––––
Back at the Pendragon household.
Elena looked at her crestfallen friend and frowned. They decided to go back after Alisha's condition. Elena did not know why her friend was like this. Having enough of the charade, Elena asked Alisha a question that's been bugging her since they came back.
" Spit it out. What happened back there? "
Alisha flinched at Elena's tone. She knows why Elena asked her that question. She knows but dares not to answer. Alisha sat there in deep thinking while Elena waited for her. But if she does not reply soon, patience might run out, and Elena might force it out of her.
At this point, everyone has already crowded them. Curious as to what's happening.
Seeing no way out, Alisha sighed in defeat. It has lways been like this, her not winning against Elena when it comes to arguments. Though she does not really complain. It gave Alisha a feeling in her stomach that she can't describe. So until then, she will have to make Elena do it a few times, for her to figure it out.
Yet unknown to Alisha, Elena felt the same way. But both did not dare to say.
" Haa~ You won't let this go, won't you? "
" Yes "
Hearing the stern reply, Alisha could only accept her fate and pray that things won't get out of hand after she's done telling.
" The place where we went, do you know why I suggested going there? "
Elena was silent as she thought. " To look for whatever you were looking for? " She said but ended up in a question.
Alisha gently shook her head. " No, We were there for another reason... Sigh, it's best to show you rather than explaining "
After she said that a floating screen appeared in front of everyone. Though surprised, they still got focused. The same screen that Alisha looks at when a new mission appeared was what everyone was looking at.
• NEW MISSION
>Kill a human, who is smuggling resources found in the Level 1 Dungeon, in the junkyard.
• Reward
>Access to all floors on Level 1.
>Access to Level 2 Dungeon.
As they read the words written, everyone's faces were grim. So this was the 'System' but why does Alisha have it and how come they did not know of these missions. Was it a different one? An alternated version? If so why?
Those were the thoughts running inside everyone's mind. They all wondered the same thing. There was a moment of silence as everyone absorbed the news.
It wasn't long for Elena to piece the puzzle together.
" The Level 1 Dungeon we entered, was that also because of this 'System' that we entered it? "
Elena asked, she needed confirmation by the very person who showed it to them. Elena yet again went into deep thinking as Alisha nodded at her question.
Ideas formed inside Elena's mind, unfortunately the moment she figure it out, questions destroys them all. Why did it choose Alisha? What was it trying to accomplish? What is this 'System' ?
Questions that plagued her mind, making it harder to figure the whole thing out. She was smart but the 'System' was apparently more smarter than her. Such thought msde her irritated. Yet she could not vent it out, who knows if the 'System was a person or literally an entity. If only they had a clue.
As Elena went into deep thinking, her emotions were coming out and was showing on her face. Alisha, who sees this became worried. Was it a mistake on showing them? But if she did not then Elena would surely pester her about it. And there's also the feeling that tells her that she can strust everyone here. And Alisha trusts that feeling. So she had no choice but to stay quiet and let them think on their own.
It was already night time when everyone finally managed to understand the situation. Not much change as everyone stayed the same even after hearing such news, which Alisha was grateful for.
–––––––––––––
Next Morning.
Alisha and Elena are back at the junkyard. With Elena on Alisha's side, she was not panicking like before.
They entered the place and directly went to the specific spot and waited until it's time.
Not long, the person they needed arrived. Alisha was, of course, cautious. Her and Elena would not want any accident happening. Not like it will happen though, considering how powerful Alisha is already.
Once the target was in place, Alisha motioned for Elena to stay in the spot and not move no matter what.
Relunctant, Elena nodded. Worried for her friend's safety even though she already knows what Alisha can do. She had already told herself that many, many times. Yet it still bothers her, especially when it comes to mentality. Judging by what happened last time, she just hoped that Alisha would be alright.
After getting the nod, Alisha walked away. She somehow felt the worry radiating from Elena and it made her warm inside. Knowing someone is worried for her.
Taking a deep breath, she approached the person with stealth. As she was getting closer, Alisha heard the person's voice, who seemed to be in a converstaion with the phone.
" Did you get it?... What- what do you mean someone got in the way?! Then fix it! Find that person and capture them!!... "
Judging by the rough voice, Alisha knew it was a man. And as the man paused in talking, Alisha used this chance to get close.
" So?! That doesn't mea- "
The man's voice was cut off and the one on the other side of the phone was confused. Did his boss just hang up on him? Though confused, he still did what he was told. Not even knowing that there was no more boss.
Meanwhile, Alisha looked at the body in front. Her moves were swift and fast. Those inexperienced would not even be able to notice her there. The man was a professional, Alisha knew that. That's why she made a fast blow. She thought of the possibility of a fight but she did not want that. Looking at the knife she's holding. Hands slightly shaking from the event. Blood dripped down to the floor. Alisha used a normal knife and directly pushed it towards the man's vital point. Coupled with her inhumane strength, the knife was bound to kill it's target.
After cleaning herself and getting rid of the corpse. Alisha went back to Elena.
And this day, Alisha did her first kill on a human and will forever feel the sensation she felt when her weapon killed her target.
