The rest of the morning passes surprisingly easily, when the clock hits 3:10, Marcia walks inside the shop. Not like I care right now, I'm playing an online match and defeat is not an option for me. After she walks up I decide to talk to her.
"What can I get for you"
"Ramen" I finish my match by this point, he was forced to play defensive. Online is so much fun.
"6 dollars and I'm calling in that favor from saving you yesterday. Get the girl crashing here into a good school." I then shut off my HHG and walk back to cook some ramen. After 20 minutes, Bianca walks back in, I'm extremely confused. I mean why would she.
"Someone put in an order for a burger and fries." I just nod my head and start making those as well, 19 minutes later, I send the ramen out with Bianca while I continue making the burger. Around 3 minutes later, I leave the kitchen with the burger and fries. When I put the food on her table, I walk back to the counter and signal Bianca over.
When she gets over here, I pull out the soul scanning crystal. It has a slip of paper on it that I open up first, something of an instruction manual. The ranking were really simple, it went from F to SSS. If the affinity was stronger than that, it wouldn't show color. Different effects will be shown for different elements, and people can have more than one elemental affinity. Elemental affinity will give you a boost if you use certain types of magic or cultivation techniques. Such as a SSS fire talent would be worthless when it comes to water spells.
Bianca then puts her hand on the crystal, and a lighting storm inside the globe is created. After a few seconds I can see the words SS written on the front of the crystal. Curious, I decide to touch the crystal myself, and it looks like a drop of ink inside water, the whole crystal turns pitch black. There wasn't an element supposed to be like this, but I assumed it was because I was a god. When the words appear on the crystal, the words "Talent Immeasurable" is shown. Don't know what I was really expecting. It was supposed to measure mortal souls, not godly ones.
"By the way, go talk to Marcia Rose later about getting into any school you want, she owes me one." Why am I doing all this you might ask? Getting her to a good school might not be necessary, but it's something I feel should be done. Using a favor from Marcia was the perfect way to get her out of my hair and that was an added bonus. Bianca then walks over to Marcia's table and they start talking, while there busy doing that I start editing some chapters. While I'm editing, I decide to go buy myself a laptop later.
It's been about 30 minutes, and all my customers have left, so I probably don't have anything else to do. I then leave the shop and start walking to the nearest tech store to buy myself a new laptop. When I arrive at the store, I start looking around and find the newest Atom phone and the Zonebook. Together they cost a total of about 1000 dollars. It was quite the price, but I had the money to blow, I just kept getting it. I then put the laptop inside it's case and put that over my shoulder while I put my phone in my left pocket with my hand staying there.
When walking back to my shop while playing a mobile game, I'm approached by some gangsters with pipes. They walk over to me and stand around me.
"Hey hey hey pretty boy, you wouldn't mind taking all the things you have on you, would you? The black fangs would appreciate it."
"Goddamit, could you dumbasses let me game in peace?"
"No chance in hell pretty boy"
I then hit the power button my phone and put inside my bag. I then take the dagger from my right pocket. This gets the gangsters on alert, no regular person carries a dagger in their right pocket. One of them recklessly dashes towards me. He swings downwards, the other two are just standing there. I step sideways, causing him to lose balance, seems these were rookies. I kick downwards on the mans back causing him to faceplant on the sidewalk. When I kick him down another one of them dashes forwards with a horizontal swing, I can hear the last one dashing up behind me I jump up and do a flip to reduce the area to hit me, they both whiff, albeit barley. I then uncurl myself about at the height of their head and spin, kicking my foot towards the one behind me. I then land on my one foot, the last one standing his getting ready to swing again, when I'm standing still. He swings downwards and I turn my body and let out a kick to his ankle with my right foot, followed by a kick to just below his hips and then his thigh. I then recenter myself and jump forwards and punch downwards on his head. His head slams onto the sidewalk, I take their pipes with me, while I drop them in a nearby dumpster.
While walking back, I open my phone back up and start looking over some of the stuff girls enjoy. Aside from a game console, I didn't really have any gift ideas. While scrolling the internet I find a bunch of stuff ordinary girls would like, but Amelia can't walk and was always more of tomboy, so it was all basically worthless.
"This is all worthless, fucking hell. Why is gift shopping so hard?" My mood was taking a downwards spiral, from the thugs to unsuccessful birthday shopping. My language gets significantly worse when I'm in a bad mood, it's what kept people away from me most of the time. That and the fact I looked pretty gloomy most of the time. A loner with a temper? No one would want to deal with that.
Anyways I get back to the shop and start talking with Bianca, after around an hour so, I had gotten the base and hierarchy of the black fangs.
I take my soul splitting sword, my colt and the Glock Bianca had, the First Scythe and my steel dagger while I walked with my cloak on. It was time for a bloodbath.
