Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 : Seedless Fruit.

Just like every morning Zamira is the first to wake up in the house and one of the first actions she makes is to check on Akira, like an expert she gently opened the door and tiptoped to the boys bed as not to wake him up, from afar she noticed something was a foot because she couldn't register any breathing in the room, quick to act on her wits she forcefully yanked the blanket of the the ,her discovery leaving her utterly shocked and fearful " DEAN!!!" she loudly shouted as a stream of tears made its way on her face,not a second later her husband appeared right from beneath her shadow using one of the class skills , she couldn't care less how fast he arrived " where...WHERE IS MY SON ?" she asked in a fit of rage ,her arm found it's way to his throat and the strength exerted by her grip was nothing to laugh at but to Dean it felt like nothing so he didn't even bother to remove her hand " Zamira... I can assure you he is safe wherever he is ...I myself am not aware of his whereabouts but he will return safely so do not worry much ." He tried to calm down his wife " you would take is as far as to kidnap your own son ? ....you can't just accept that he is different,that he is not like us ?" Zamira retorted knowing full well what Dean was attempting " both of his parents belong to a class so it's only logical that we give birth to a child that has a class too . We need to know what is wrong with him and if we can force his aura energy or mana out ...the assassin class is already dejected and loathed by society so we can't afford humiliation of this caliber!" Dean roared back at his wife believing this justifies his actions" that doesn't matter ... This is not about the reputation of the assassin class leave that to the king ! This is about Akira...you can't abandon your responsibility as a father , a protector to him Dean." She exclaimed but you her dismay Dean was already too far gone to start developing a consciounce now , his class was not to blame either . He slowly removed her hand from his neck" Regardless of that if he doesn't prove to be normal then life won't be as easy for him and not to mention his not being able to choose a class." The look he gave her shattered her more then his words , afterwards he let go of her hand watching her helplessly falling to the ground producing an endless stream of tears .

Having realized his predicament, Akira couldn't think of anything else aside from returning back to the safety of his house .which begged the question ' HOW ?' Knowing precisely how dire this situation was for him , he was operating purely on instinct now wondering around the forest for hours trying to find his way back to the Kingdom , dusk eventually set in -gggrrrrr- they boys stomach rumbled because a full day hand concluded without him consuming or drinking anything,his energy levels had never dropped to such a degree " aw man...I need to eat something or atleast find water to drink ... But it's already this dark so there's no way I'll get any of those at this rate !" He said to himself as he maintained a hunched sluggish walking posture , eventually exhaustion got the better so he decided to find a place to call it a night , seeing a bush not far from him he laid his head down on it ' I never imagined bushes would be this soft and...warm ?' Just as he was about to flea from the odd behaving bush a deep growl eminated from it " wait ...is that a..." He couldn't finish his question as the bush revealed itself to be a beast ,it rose up to a hight 3 times that of Akira it's appearance resembling that of a very huge , muscular black wolf with abnormally long fangs , well known for its intimidating build and as a predator type beast it's problematic to deal with, not because of their tenacity but because of their two innate abilities

[ Beast Run ] - this abilities boosts the speed of the beast by 20% , it levels up along with the beasts tier .

[ Maw Crush ] - the bite force of the beast is bone crushing but as the tier evolves it can compete with steel

Luckily this one is of the intermediate tier but for someone like Akira who knows nothing about combat or how to use a weapon let alone posses one or even utilise mana or aura energy it meant guaranteed death " that bush wasn't a bush... I must have woken it up by sleeping on it " Death maws are nocturnal beasts, they sleep the entire day in hiding or stealth and rise at night to hunt , Akira knew exactly what the wolf was thinking right now from is intimidating gaze and growl , not even giving him a chance to act the wolf pounced on him and used it's skill [ Maw Crush] , he tried to block the attack with his left arm but due to the tier of the beast being high it crushed his arm with no resistance, screaming at the top of his lungs he forcefully pulled his arm from the Wolfs maw , alas the weight of the beast kept him pressed down so he couldn't even topple if over , planning to finish the task the beast unleashed an attack to the throat and Akira being on the receiving of this couldn't describe the fear and the pain he felt , it truly felt suffocating and he knew there was nothing he could do to alter the result.

' I believe I've seen enough .' Arising under the boys shadow [ shadow crawler] a figure threw a punch at great speeds towards the Wolfs head , not even having a second to react the Wolfs head exploded from the powerful attack and it's body toppled over next to the defenceless Akira lifeless. Having experienced to much in Akira tried to look at the face of his saviour, his body gave up on him as consciousness gradually left his body, he fainted right there and then but not without catching the face of his saviour.
