'Molly and Anna,' Nyx thought after seeing the sleeping faces of the kind face of the Yellow house prefect and the girl who'd tried standing up for him.
'I guess this is your lucky day,' the red-haired boy thought and left the room, going into room after room. He still had three more people to kill to complete the quest.
Fortunately for Nyx, the next room he entered happened to be the one his remaining second-year target was residing.
Killing them was also a success, but the red-haired boy started to get a bad feeling that he would soon run out of luck… The instinct that had guided him over the years signaled him to hurry and finish this Quest.
'So bad I'll not get to torture that muscle head,' Nyx mused bitterly as he arrived at the room where Yiran and Apollo resided.
Opening the room, a loud alarm from downstairs pierced his ears.
"Attention, this is your head prefect Anna. It appears someone has infiltrated our dorm house and is killing all of us. I advise all of you to wake up and be on guard; help is on the way!"
"Anna, that bitch!" Nyx gritted his teeth as he slammed the door shut. Yiran and Apollo were already awake, and they were advancing towards him with their abilities activated.
"The bastard is in our room—" before Yiran could alert the other students, Nyx lunged at him and drove his knees into Yiran's left jaw. The sound of bone cracking reverberated through the room, and the muscular student was sent reeling in pain.
"That would keep you quiet for some time," Nyx thought just in time to dodge a swipe of Apollo's transformed claws.
After gaining his footing, he could see that Apollo was now fully transformed.
'I'm proud of you, but to think to use this form fight the very person that taught you.'
Although Nyx was not planning to kill the black-haired boy after the hurdle he had gone through to make him his pawn, he would at least leave him immobile to escape.
Dropping down on all fours, Apollo started to pounce towards Nyx. He was in his wolf form, and his red predator eyes looked very dangerous and intimidating. There were fangs sticking out of his mouth, and his overall presence exuded the aura of a primal beast.
However, in contrast to Apollo's intimidating visage, Nyx was as calm and serene as ever. The giant wolf pounced on his prey, and when the fangs were just inches away from locking onto their target in a way that would be difficult for anyone to escape, Nyx suddenly vanished and appeared behind Apollo.
With one powerful punch to the back of Apollo's head, the wolf boy was effortlessly knocked out.
Thud!
Still in shock and surprised, Apollo landed on the ground with a loud thud and started to revert back to normal. 'I was so close,' he thought, frustrated at how easily the intruder had thwarted all of his efforts.
At that moment, Apollo saw the intruder bring out a bloodied knife, and his eyes widened. He tried to shake violently and screamed, but the punch to the back of his head had left him totally immobile. He couldn't even scream for help.
"I don't want to die this young, please don't kill me!" Apollo thought as he saw that intimidating knife.
Just then, a huge spear made purely out of water was hurled at the invader, kindling a sense of hope in Apollo's heart. But hope quickly disappeared when the intruder caught the water spear.
Of course, it was Yiran, and currently, there was a sneer on his face. "Bastard!"
Yiran still didn't understand how the intruder had caught his sneak attack, as if he had another eye in the back of his head. The skillful display started to cause beads of sweat to form on Yiran's forehead.
What if the person they were against was a high-ranking superhuman?
Just then, a loud bang sounded as the intruder hurled the solid water spear back at Yiran, who was a bit too slow to dodge, and the spear ended up impaling his shoulder to the wall.
'Shit!' Yiran was now stuck; he flailed his hands about as he saw the intruder approaching him with calm, collected steps, as if he had all the time in the world.
"Please kill the black kid, my family is very rich; I can give you anything you want. My father is the 60th person in the super Heroes ranking; he can give you super items or anything, please just don't kill me." Yiran's proud facade crumpled to the ground at that moment as he started pleading for his life.
When the intruder got closer to the trembling Yiran, who was now sweating profusely and even urinating himself, he raised his head and met the muscular boy's frightened gaze.
"You!" Yiran exclaimed loudly when he saw the red-haired boy. "I'm very sorry for what I did there; I was just merely following the second-year's orders. Please don't kill me; whatever you need, I'll give it to you!"
"Following second-year's orders, you say?" Nyx asked with a light chuckle, remembering Yiran's past antagonizing remarks. "I don't think you were just following orders; I think you were just a stupid third-rate villain, I'd have killed sooner or later. Talking to you already is just delaying me from my sweet reward, so goodbye!"
Consumed by terror, Yiran watched as the bloodied knife flew out of Nyx's hands and pierced his forehead, and he died.
Ding!
[ You've Completed the quest to kill all of them ]
[ Reward would now be calculated ]
With a smile on his face, the red-haired boy hurriedly jumped out of the room window and fled into the dark night.
A few moments later, Apollo became mobile again. A whirlwind of thoughts swirled in his head. 'He didn't kill me? But why? Did he take me as an insignificant pest? Sigh, what am I even thinking? I should be glad that I'm still alive." The black-haired boy thought as he walked up to the window, watching the intruder escape after transforming his eyes to that of a hawk.
Suddenly, the intruder turned around and stared directly at Apollo. Apollo stumbled backward when he saw those dangerous red eyes staring at him.
'Nyx…' Apollo thought in shock as he watched the black-haired boy disappear into the distance.
