The girl left as soon as possible because she couldn't understand what was going on. The reason why she was frightened because she found herself in the middle of the street at midnight all of a sudden.
After a while, she quickly went home and hid in her room.
At that moment, Viktor again found himself in front of his body's biological brother, Jinin.
"It's been a long time since we saw each other. How are you?" Jinin asked.
'Why am I meeting with everyone all of a sudden-_-?'
Viktor put his left hand inside his jacket's pocket and said, "I'm doing well. What about you?"
"As usual. What are you doing here at this hour? It's past 2 you know. Kids should stay indoors at this hour."
Viktor then said, "It's not like I'm in danger or something. People should be worried about their own safety around me. Anyways, what brings you here at this hour?"
Jinin looked at his phone and said, "My sister told me to pick her up from her workplace. She's busy with her drama shooting."
"Ah, I forgot. She's an actor, isn't she…"
"You're talking as if you've forgotten about your family already."
"Well, that's true though. I have nothing to do with that family anymore. It's good to throw everything away and move forward." At that moment, a cat suddenly started to walk around his legs. She was worried about something and desperately needed help from someone who was one with nature.
Since animals can detect guardians, they don't attack them. Instead, they worship them and rely on them.
The cat sat in front of him and started to say something. Jinin thought the cat was Viktor's cat so he asked. "Is that your cat? She seems to adore you."
The cat started at Viktor to complain about something through her 6th sense. So Viktor answered, "No, she's not my cat. She's asking for help."
The cat jumped on Viktor's shoulder and pointed her paw in a direction towards a dark alley. Viktor looked at the path and said, "Want to go on a walk with me? We can have a nice chat and help this fellow cat."
"You, you can understand what the cat is saying?" Jinin asked.
"Well, yes? Every animal has their own language. They have emotion, intelligence and they are also social beings. It's just their communication is limited to their own kind."
"Is understanding animal language your hybrid power?" Jinin asked.
"Hm…no. It's just a side skill. My powers are on a whole different level."
Viktor entered the dark alley and started to look for the thing the cat asked for. The cat was a mother and she was looking for food for her 4 kittens. Her kittens were all white and so beautiful that some humans took them when she wasn't near them. After she came back to her home, all her kittens were gone. She started to run here and there to look for the kittens and that's when she noticed a guardian.
She immediately knew who it was even though she'd never seen or heard anything about a guardian. She approached him and asked for help.
Viktor went to the spot where she lost her kittens and then asked a man near the shop. He was a shop owner who used to feed the kittens from time to time.
Viktor entered the shop and said, "Have you seen 4 white kittens beside this shop? This cat mama is so worried for them."
The shop owner looked at the cat casually sitting on his shoulder and staring at him. "Um.. I fed them this morning, but why do you ask?"
"They are missing. I believe someone took them a few hours ago. Can you check it in your CCTV footage?"
The man was charmed by his beauty so he said, Um..yes. Please take a seat. I'll check it right away."
Viktor took a seat and bought a beer can and cat food for the mama cat. But she was so worried that she couldn't eat a single bite. She was so worried that her whole body was trembling.
"It's so tough to be a mother, isn't it?" He patted her head and again said, "Don't worry. Your babies are all safe. We'll find it very soon."
"Meaw…"
Jinin then asked, "It's really weird to see you talk with a cat as if you really can understand it."
"Think whatever you want. I just want to help this mama cat and then walk around. I've been taking tests for 3 whole days and I need refreshment."
At that moment, the general shop owner lent his phone to Viktor and said, "See these two girls? They took the kittens with them."
Viktor looked at those two girls and immediately read their records to find out their whereabouts. Luckily, their house was very near to the store.
"Thank you. We'll take our leave now. Come on meao chan. Let's get your babies."
The cat again jumped on his shoulder and went outside with Jinin. He was a little confused so he asked, "Do you know those girls?"
"No. I just happened to see their faces on the street." Viktor stopped in front of a house and the cat jumped off his shoulder. It then looked at the house and again looked at Viktor's face. "Stand still, I'll ring the bell."
Viktor pushed the button and after some seconds, a man opened the door. The man looked young and he looked like he wasn't sleeping at all. Moreover, the man was someone who studied with Ivon North in high school. He seemed to be that girl's boyfriend.
The man looked at Viktor with a cat and became speechless. His face was so perfect and so handsome that he nearly got charmed. But he had a girlfriend so he held his heart back and asked, "Ahem!! What do you want?"
"I'm here to pick up the kittens. The mama cat is worried for them."
The cat smelt her kittens inside the house and went inside running. The man was surprised so he said, "Wohh…. Is that your cat? I'm sorry for my wife's stupidity. I should've told her to bring back those kittens."
"Ah.. Don't worry. But are you sure you don't want a 5th cat? The mama cat seems to like your house."
The man looked back and saw the cat snuggling with the kittens. She looked so happy and playful that he couldn't kick her outside.
That moment, Viktor handed him a grocery bag full of cat food and said, "This might help you to maintain a big family of cats. I'm sure your wife will be happy to see another cat in her house in the morning. And here is a small gift. Sorry for the disturbance at this hour so suddenly."
The man was dumbfounded. He thought the young handsome man was here to take the kittens because he was the owner. But when he said he was not going to take them back, he was a little confused. Moreover, he received a dozen beers and a huge bag full of cat food from him out of nowhere.
He couldn't understand what was going on but he was happy.
Then Viktor bid goodbye and walked out of the neighbourhood with jinin.
"How did you know that man is going to take in all the kittens? And that cat food, 13 beers, cost you more than a hundred dollars. Where are you getting that money from?"
Viktor smirked at him and said, "I'm so rich that I can buy your father's company 30 times. Enough with the chit-chat. You should go home now. I've been sensing someone following us since we got out of the store."
Viktor looked back and saw a man with a black hoodie. He was following him and probably reporting everything to someone. So Jinin was in trouble because he wasn't a mana user.
It was a person possessed by a devil who was working for the guardian of greed.
The devils were slowly spreading all over the world.
"Jinin, it wasn't wise of you to follow me even after I warned you. Now I have to cover you."
The stalker started to cast a magic spell and threw a fire arrow at them. Viktor who knew his future quickly dodged it and male Jinin hid behind his back.
"What!!! What is going on!!"
"Shut up if you want to live."
Viktor opened his empty record book and created the man's 2D drawing by magic. He then wrote his name on the page and drew a red line on his hand. The attacker's hand became disabled and wounded just as Viktor drew.
'Hm…it's my first time attacking someone by using my core attack style. It's kinda like witchcraft and exorcism. It's basically 17th-century black magic of earth. Not bad. But lame.'
He then stabbed the pen on the man's 2D head on his book and it blew apart. The attackers died in a blink of an eye.
Jinin looked at that man and saw his head was missing. He was still bleeding but his head was nowhere to be seen. He was terrified.
"You…you just killed him. How can you kill..someone so easily?"
Viktor smiled and answered, "Just like you killed your brother with poison. Moreover, hybrids are allowed to kill another hybrid attacker if their life is in danger. You should go home. If the hybrid police officers find me hanging out with a human, they will send me to IT missions."
"What? There is a special unit for hybrids in the police department?" Jinin asked.
"Yes. And they will come here any minute."
A huge explosion occurred a few blocks away and they heard people screaming. It was the work of demi-humans(possessed by the devil) sent by the guardian of greed.
They were in South Korea on a mission, to kill all the hybrids, take over the government and catch that person who made an elixir that heals a missing arm.
Their priority was to kidnap Viktor and take him to the greedy guardian.
"What is going on??" Jinin asked.
"The military will come out tomorrow and also, I'll have to join the disciplinary committee. Since I'm an A-class student of Elite High, I'll be appointed to a team to capture them."
Viktor looked at the future and saw the government announcing the existence of hybrids because of the emergency situation. The situation was so bad that it was left with no choice.
The normal citizens were terrified of the unknown terrorists.
"I guess it won't be a problem if the police see you with me. Stay close to me. They have a device that detects mana users. In just 30 seconds, we'll be surrounded by a group of them."
"What, what are you saying? What is going on?"
"We're under attack. The future is changing quickly every second that I can't even process."
Viktor grabbed Jinin's shirt and teleported to his house. He smacked his nape to knock him out cold and then again teleported back to the place.
His phone rang…
"Hello?"
*This is Kang Hajin, the director of Elite High. Your presence has been requested on the school premises due to an emergency situation.*
A recorded message played on the phone call so he quickly put his phone in his pocket and took out his H.drive.
"Well, since the 'future me' is busy slaughtering the terrorists, I should get a good outfit from the academy. I can sense Rae and Welis are already at the premises."
He wanted to call Adonis but hesitated. So he just activated his H.drive and started to run towards his academy.
"I'll make sure to make that Midas bastard get the taste of his own medicine."
