A few hours ago in Viktor's office…
Viktor took his record out of his library and flipped the page to read his short-term 'future'. After his record became full, he could see a full month of the future fully detailed. So it was easy for them to predict the upcoming events related to the war.
It was all okay but there was one person who awakened late rather than being born with mana.
It was a veteran soldier from the military.
After Viktor read his future from his record, he found out that the soldier became a victim of the devil summoning colt. His whole family died because of a demonic human and he lost his sanity. The devil who lived inside his body failed to take control and thus he gained all of its powers.
But Seoul was already destroyed into bits in just half a year. The guardian of greed couldn't find anyone from the guardian realm so he left to make problems in Europe.
"There's no way I'll make him destroy my precious house. I need to get a hold of that man before he becomes a demonic madman."
He took his pack of smokes and left after telling that he'll be absent from Adonis's class. Instead, he ordered Adonis to recruit a huge group of healer-type hybrids. Because a mini-war was near.
Back to the present time…
Viktor looked at the man's face and said, "Nam Seo, right? How would you feel if I told you to join the Hybrid association?"
Seo was too stunned so he couldn't prepare the question's answer quickly. He just nodded his head and drank a full glass of water.
"I see. Please don't be so scared. You'll get a text message from your boss with a thick bonus tomorrow. Also, I'd like to offer you something. If you become a hybrid, you can get rid of the drug dealers of bad people you talked about an hour ago."
"Can you please explain what hybrids are? I'm still seeing fog in front of my eyes."
"Hybrids? They are humans born with superpowers. The one you see in fantasy anime or manga. It's the same. There's a hidden association that controls the hybrids to protect them from the public eye. The prime minister, most of the politicians, and even some of the members of the military are also hybrids. Even the general is also one of them. It sounds stupid, I know. But you'll understand once you see it."
Nam Seo was speechless. All he could think about was how 'mentally ill' the boy who was talking in front of him was.
At that time, Adonis walked in by talking on his phone and took a seat right in front of him.
"Yes..I'll check your files after I finish my dinner. It's already too late. Yes…. Viktor, I just talked with your professor. He said he can only give you 2 days' leave."
"Only 2 days? I hoped for weeks."
"That's too much. Anyways, Nam Seo. What kind of rare piece are you to catch my brother's attention?"
"I don't know what you're talking about…"
Adonis smiled a little and said, "Because I believe that catching his attention is the hardest thing to do on earth unless you're so important or entertaining him."
He then looked at Viktor and said, "What are you thinking about, Viktor?"
Viktor didn't reply to his questions for a minute and kept eating his meal with his left eye closed and the other one wide open without blinking.
And then he put down his knife and fork to say, "An intruder will break in."
"What?" Adonis screamed.
"Yes, in 5..4..3..2..1.."
Crashhh!!!!!!!
The window to the dining room shattered and a group of people came in with mana guns. They surrounded them quickly but little did they know that Adonis had already pierced needles deep into their heart in anger.
He was hungry for blood but ruining his master's appetite wasn't an option. So he chose needles instead of smashing their heads like grapes under a brewer's shoes.
Nam Seo was terrified.
"How did they even get in?" Adonis asked himself.
"They jumped from a plane without any killing intentions. That's why nobody felt it. Dream assassins are really painful these days."
"Master, should I just wipe out the dream clan?"
"No, just kill the head who paid the money. The dream clan don't work unless they are paid like vending machines."
Nam Seo stood up and tried to attack Viktor with a punch but his hand landed on something invisible.
It was a shield.
"Nam Seo-ssi. You're not going to bite the hands of your master. Are you?" Viktor's grin gave him chills down his spine and became almost frozen.
Adonis cleaned the sharp glass pieces off the table and warmed Viktor's food with a simple magic spell. And Nam Seo happened to witness that.
"What ..is that circle-like thing in front of his hands? You guys are playing with me, aren't you? These are all acts. Come on. Don't make fun of me."
He moved a few steps back and then he tripped over a dead body behind him. He fell on the floor and saw the wide eyes of the dead body. If it was really all an act, the body would've been breathing. But in that case, the body under his legs wasn't breathing. Not even blinking either.
"Ah…aahhhh!!!!"
He stood up and started to tremble in fear. He saw all the dead bodies of more than 15 people and finally fainted.
"Oh? Looks like I need to heal him now. He got a stroke." Viktor stood up and cast healing magic on him quickly so that he wouldn't die. "Is he really someone from the army? I mean… he just fainted after seeing some bodies around." Viktor looked at the man's face and finally found something really special.
'No wonder why you awakened as a powerful hybrid in the near future even though you've never used any magic in your whole life. You're the grandson of the scorpion guardian.'
The jet black-haired man with hazelnut eyes was too shocked that he got a stroke out of nowhere. He was a soldier, but he was never confident enough to kill anyone or see a dead body.
He was a crybaby.
After some hours…
Nam Seo opened his eyes and saw luxurious ceilings decorated with golden chandeliers. He was feeling so comfortable with the soft silk bed sheet and the blanket around him and at that moment, the last memories of his life before he felt a sharp pain in his heart came visible.
He was terrified.
He quickly sat up and saw a very familiar face. It was his team leader from the army.
"Yo… I'm surprised that you crashed inside the North house. How lucky…"
"Team leader? Wh..what are you doing here?"
The man with a huge body smiled and said, "You won't even believe who ordered me to escort you from now on. The general did. He told me that you're finally coming to the world of Hybrids. Your father is going to be so proud of you."
"Father? You knew my father?"
"Why wouldn't I? He died right before you came into this world. He was a powerful hybrid at that time and went on so many social missions for the organization."
"Perhaps, you're a hybrid as well?"
"I am. Sorry for not telling you. It's the 1st law of any living hybrids."
At that moment, Viktor came in and found him awake. So he said, "You won't even believe how much it would've cost you to cure your heart disease in a hospital. 4 blocks? What kind of food did you consume to make these blocks at that young age?"
"Hum? No wonder I wasn't feeling any pain after I woke up. What did you do?"
Viktor laughed a little to see his funny expression and said, "You're not even thinking about paying me. Well, I've already got the permit to play with you. From now on, you're my student and I'll be teaching you how to catch bastards."
He was again left speechless to hear Viktor's idiotic words.
"You still don't believe it, ha? In the morning, you'll get a text from your boss along with the money. Your family is safe so go back to sleep. Your team leader will be staying here as well so rest assured."
Viktor left the room and saw Adonis staying against the wall. He was waiting there to ask him some questions.
"If you're going to say it. Then say it already."
They both started to walk towards their room and then Adonis asked, "Master. May I ask why you brought a non-hybrid man into our household?"
"That's because he's going to fight for me in my place with the guardian of greed. I am too lazy to do that. So I picked someone with so much potential. He'll become powerful as Welis.
He will become a great dark magician."
And I can finally become a lazy sleepy head because I'm just planning to dump all my work onto a mortal shoulder-_-. There's no way I'm going all the way to America to kill some devil brats.
He sighed a little and again said to Adonis, "Please prepare a warm glass of water. I'll be going to bed soon."
There's no way I'll sell my laziness over this damn crazy Human-Guardian war.
This is pure stupidity for a lazy ass like me to participate. As a powerful guardian, I need to be careful about using my powers.
Or I'm afraid that I'll end up destroying half of the world with a sneeze or punch like saitama -_-.
