Chapter 8 - The One-Man Army (1)

As Mephisto and Rowan settled their quarrel, Mephisto warned Admir that he should be careful even if Rowan is just a kid, he has the strength of a High-Holy Knight.

Admir then reassures Mephisto that he'll contact the 'Guy' that could help Rowan soon.

As Admir and Mephisto continued to talk, Rowan then proceeds to his daily routine; prank people.

Rowan has fame, but it isn't a fame where you're loved by people, actually...It is the opposite.

"You little jerk! You've done it again!" (Frowns angrily while his eyes is in flames out of anger)

"KAHAHAHA, he got his head shaved again!"

***

Kenta almost died...It's of heart attack, he almost died because of a heart attack. Though, he knew that he was saved by Rowan, he had a heart attack after what he saw...

[Kenta's Flashbacks]

(Mephisto shoots his fireball at Kenta)

While Kenta thought he was done for, that he thought that he was going to die..

Rowan appeared right before his eyes faster than a blink of an eye....But...It wasn't a normal speed, Kenta saw an outragous darkness that flows around Rowan as he stood against the fireball, and he felt that if it was not Rowan before his eyes..

Kenta was afraid, he has develop a trauma against fire, but it wasn't because of the fireball.

It was because of Rowan swallowing the fire in his hands, it's as if the fireball that Mephisto shoot just got sucked out of Rowan's hands.

Kenta saw a massive red-blackish aura that is of a Dragon, and it was terrifying...

The Dragon then disappeared after Rowan sucked the Fire out of his hands...

Rowan looked at Kenta's eyes sharply, he then felt shivers runnin down his spine, and he was suffocating in just Rowan's glance, it's as if his soul is being torn apart, he can't blame.

Rowan thought Kenta cannot breath because he was scared of Mephisto's fireball.

[End of Flashback]

Kenta developed a minor trauma against fire, whenever he sees fire, flashbacks of Rowan swallowing the fire whole pops out. 

'What was that? How did Rowan did that? Is he not a human? What was the darkness I saw?'

As Kenta questioned everything he saw, Mephisto looked at him with a worry in Mephisto's eyes.

Mephisto knew Kenta saw something that a human cannot do...

***

Admir prepared a luggage for a journey with Mephisto to see the 'Guy'.

"Mephisto, we have to prepare quickly, we also need to bid our farewell before this children..I don't want them to worry about me"

"Alright, Admir The One-Man Army"

"Stop calling me by my title, I have retired 16 years ago.."

"Ahh... that day huh? That was our first defeat after we battled together with our comrades... It was a total defeat that even you didn't had a chance to scratch him.."

"Stop it Mephisto! I don't want to remember that day ever again!" (Admir muttered angrily)

As Admir and Mephisto are preparing for a journey, Kenta enters the room and asked...

"Father, why is Rowan like that?"

Kenta asked as his voice trembles

Mephisto and Admir was shocked at Kenta's question because he was Rowan's closest friend and he already knew about Rowan's strength and cleverness, but he asked something that he didn't knew..

They we're baffled because of the fact that Kenta didn't know anything, and he's giving the face that as if he saw a Monster. Both of then knew that Kenta is not asking about Rowan's strength and cleverness but something more terrible..

'Why is Kenta asking about Rowan?

Admir was confused on why Kenta is asking about Rowan. Admir thought that Kenta already knew about Kenta's strength, but to think that he was this ignorant of Rowan's strength..

'Why is he asking about Rowan when he already knows about Rowan's strength and Cleverness?'
