odd glances were constantly being shot my way, from everyone but Raya and the guy who looked to be in charge of the group, those were the only 2 that didn't have eyes of distrust for me, I knew why for Raya, we knew each other, but for the adventurer guy I was drawing blanks.
the entire group was comprised of one dude and 3 girls, Raya making four girls, but she wasn't apart of their group so I don't think she counted, neither did I for their group count since I was planning on ditching after confirming Raya got somewhere she could then go home from, I needed to go back put and away from people and work on myself before I lived In a city full of em, my past experiences as human weren't helping much contrary to my own thoughts, it was only made worse and I felt like the more I learned from here the less I understood in general, both sets of info I had from my two lives were in conflict, one directly contrasting the other like it wasn't supposed to exist, I needed to find a solution to this or any hopes of self control were beyond saving.
since without having a defined self, there is no self control as hard lines you think you have in your mind are nothing more than soft ones in sand, the proverb aside and all knowing myself was part one of my improvement, I thought I had a handle on that but I don't, at least I can admit it.
"hey! you."(adventurer)
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked around, my eyes finally landing on what could be the tank type person of the group, she was giving me a look, a look I'd never seen before.
"you will listen when we talk to you."(tank?)
"no one said anything until now."(syn)
"don't get smart with us."(archer)
"but I already am smart."(syn)
"don't be a smart ass is what they mean."(crystal staff girl)
"I'm gonna say whatever I want."(syn)
"Syn!"(Raya)
"you know me, don't pretend this is something new that I've never done before."(syn)
in truth I'd always done this, saying and acting however I wanted, sometimes it worked out, other times it made me look like an evil piece of shit that needs to die, I'm honestly surprised that only Amira is actively trying to kill me in the name of justice, her definition of it anyway.
"you insolent little!-"(tank?) shouted before unsettling her weapon and swinging.
in the brief time I had I gave Raya a no head shake before catching the blade with two fingers, the impact echoing.
I pushed my fingers together as that part of the blade went flatter than its edge momentarily, it groaning before going back to normal.
"not possible!"(tank?)
"how interesting, you don't seem to have a weapon, your only clothes are shorts and you blocked that like it was nothing."(head adventurer)
"it really was nothing, it was too slow and too weak to do any damage."(syn)
the heavily armored girl got mad, really mad, swinging her sword again and again as she walked towards me, her form slipping as her strikes became more emotional in nature, wild.
I dodged them all, gracefully moving out of the blades way almost as if I knew where it was gonna be, often times moving as she was beginning the swing, her attempt at changing directions never working as I kept aloely walking backwards and dodging.
I'd observed enough and had my fun, I stopped her by placing my fingers on the center of her chestplate, between what was obviously her boobs, I regretted it but if I used full force she'd die.
doing a one inch punch the spot on the armor shattered as she flew back, knocking most of the group down like bowling pins, the armor cracking more before it stopped, a large hole showing her clothes underneath, cute bra.
hee face went red from embarrassment and anger, I'd dug my own grave might as well lay in it, not like she can actually kill me though, it's an expression for taking responsibility or something, I'd heard it alot on earth.
before she charged the guy in charge stopped her.
"you have no chance against him."(head adventurer)
she tried to protest but was shut down by his look down at her.
"you, where is your weapon, and what is it?"(head adventurer)
I figured I could be honest, they posed no threat.
"up until a little bit ago I was stuck in one, I don't need one, my power is my own."(syn)
"I see, your a creature then, humans can't be captured or sealed inside weapons."(head adventurer)
"they can its just that its so weak that it's almost no different from your average weapon, its pointless."(syn)
"so you've seen many a things."(head adventurer)
"less than you'd think."(syn)
he knew that was all he was gonna get for now, I was honest and upfront because I wasn't in danger, he knew not to mistake that as trust, at least his eyes were saying that, his look one of Intrigue and understanding, he wouldn't understand a word from my mouth if I really told him everything, I could even use that odd language to make sure he wouldn't understand.
