There was a moment of silence in the room as both Dean and Kat looked at the kneeling deceased figure of Kacy Anderson.
Both in their thoughts contemplating their recent actions a few minutes ago.
For Dean, he killed a human being granted the only thing human was Kacy's former appearance before she mysteriously turned into a psychotic maniac. He hardly knew her as almost everyone avoided Dean like the plague. Main reasons most students avoided Dean was because of his low-born status and his uptight rule-bound behavior as the diligent honor student.
Kacy also avoided Dean but unlike most people, she respected him for his strength and diligence. She was also pretty normal compared to other people in the top 100s.
So why...
'Why I do feel nothing?'
'Is it because I accepted the fact she wasn't human anymore?'
'Or was she beyond saving?'
One question lead to another then continuing the endless cycle of questions in Dean's head.
Kat, on the other hand, was deep in thought but her thought process was faster than a normal human being so she was questioning herself while justifying her actions.
'I know I indirectly forced Dean to kill a person but it was the right choice'
'Ahhhh.....but it goes against my nature as a paxian to think of violence even if it was a indirect suggestion, but I protected Dean by putting his head straight'
'Though from old recounts and Mom's experience on the frontier, we'll use violence to defend ourselves even though we don't like violence, so yeah this was self-defense'
Kat successfully cheered herself up after going through over a hundred thought processes leading to the conclusion of self-defense. She reappeared next to Dean in her full size with her small fists pumped up to cheer Dean up.
Sadly.
They forgot the other two people breaking down the front door while screaming.
"HEY KACY, LEAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US."
"LET ME IN!!!"
Their banging left heavy dents on the door until eventually the middle part was dented enough for a hand to slip through and attempt to force one side of the door open.
"Kat can you open the front door....I think I'm ready", said Dean wearing an expressionless face but inwardly he was still a little disturbed at not feeling anything.
Kat briefly looked at Dean's face to see if he was fully ready, but decided to open the door anyway as she knew he hardly show muscle movement on his face in a stressful situation. After the door open partly due to the heavy dents, Kat went back into Dean's watch ready to assist him.
[Remember, the one on the left generates a reactive energy armor while the other has a weaker form of hydro-kinesis.]
Kat informed Dean as the two assailants walk in with the left wielding a large two-handed hammer while the other was using a high-frequency rapier.
They both looked towards Kacy's slumped dead body with a bone sword stuck in her, but their expressions suggested that they didn't care for their comrades' death.
"Tch, that's what the bitch gets for locking the door on us," the hammer-wielding one said believing Kacy closed the door shut on them and locked it.
"Another dead meat turning into a husk", the other one said as he prepares to gather water fluids from the surrounding blood splatters.
'So the water user is around D+ at most', Dean thought while remembering the standard average power level of 4th years being C+.
Dean quickly came up with a plan of attack a few seconds after Kat informed him of their abilities.
He quickly uses his telekinesis to send varies kitchen utensils like pans, knives, and even tableware toward the hammer guy, draining his reactive energy armor as Kat whispered its vulnerability.
Its always active against the amount of force that is harmful to the user.
The pots were deflected.
"What the fuc-"
The knives were deflected though his reactive armor's repulsion interrupted his companion's concentration causing the fragments of water he gathered to turn into puddle.
"This is pissing me-"
The plates were deflected but,
The hammer guy swung his hammer around wildly as his dodging attempts failed against a B+ power level telekinesis user. The deflected objects were like a whirlwind around him constantly 'poking' his reactive armor effectively distracting him for a minute or two. Which is enough time for Dean to take out the water user.
He emptied his mind of his previous thoughts on his first kill as close-quarters combat leaves no room for idle thoughts.
BZZZZTTTTT
The clash between the high-frequency rapier and hardlight covered metal sword was heard, but Dean ignored it as his concentration was between the whirlwind of kitchen wares and the enemy in front of him. Both briefly locked weapons against each other but backed off to prepare for a second one.
The second clash was very different as Dean stopped concentrating on the whirlwind and used his telekinesis to divert the incoming rapier farther away from him. The fiend was ignorant of Dean's sudden use of his power as the rapier-wielding fiend was briefly exposed for the killing blow and that's what Dean did.
Xui
Splaat
Dean killed him with a quick and clean stab as he turned to his left to face the hammer wielder all under one second when he deactivated the whirlwind of pots and knives.
Alone with just the two of them....with a certain digital pink girl included in the mix.
The hammer wielder squinted his eyes at Dean but there was no fear of death...only madness and bloodthirst for Dean's life.
However, Dean ignored it and motioned his hands in sync with his powers indicating he is using the full strength of his telekinesis to try to pull the big hammer out of his grasp.
Usually Dean can use his powers without motioning his hands or looking in the direction of the specific target as he practiced tirelessly for almost 14 years, longer than his academy years...
....and longer than he knew his deceased parents.
The hammer wielder was struggling to hold his weapon but a B+ level Telekinesis is able to lift a full bus.
The wielder was lifted into the air desperately holding onto his hammer trying to touch the ground as the hammer touched the ceiling but-
BAM
Dean backed away while he violently slam the hammer down temporarily stunning its user causing him to let go, but the hammer was lifted up to the ceiling again over its former master's head and-
SPLAAT
-the sound of a crushed watermelon was heard.
The reactive armor was mostly drained because of the barrage of kitchen wares and even then, it wouldn't have protected its user against the full force of the hammer.
[A little overdramatic on the finisher...doncha think hehe.]
**********
A/N: If the fight felt a little drawn out, then I apologize because I wanted to show off Dean's power a bit plus there won't be much of our characters getting stronger in this story. Though they do get stronger but it'll be a mix of their abilities upgrading and acquiring new gadgets. Let me know how you feel about this.
