Chapter 4 - 3: Metallic Problem 2

On the other side of the room.

Nijito Sato, a distant friend of Shōri's father, was in the room besides Shōri's. Shōri recognizes him and always thought Nijito was a good friend of his father.

"This brat... I got too careless and brought back the handle without altering it." Nijito said to himself, with a hint of dizziness and fatigue maybe due to the impact of the handle.

"Surely my needles were a direct hit, I sent around 234 needles to him, I have one left. I better finish that brat off...!" Nijito said while existing the room he's in and slowly walked towards the room Shōri was in.

"The knife... that knife that my metals made contact with... I can control it and stab that bastard! It might be... might be hard to figure out his location as there's no metallic objects in him, I don't know where he is..."

The doorknob turned slowly, he's definitely here! Come on... open the door you bastard... It's only a matter of time that I'll return your attacks.

As the door opened, I was already infront, ready to punch that asshole's face... I performed a powerful strike. Although, it was like I didnt hit anything, did he control the doorknob and opened the door while he was 4 feet away from the door!?

"You fool, I respect your intelligence, but it won't get you victory against a real fight! You'll join your daddy soon!" The enemy said while I stood there infront of him.

"Is that so? Well, go ahead."

The knife behind me float and was aimed at the back of throat, it was attracted to the enemy, therefore pulling the knife and targetting the back of my throat, I leaned to my left, the knife impaled directly to his throat.

"W-what the hell...!!!"

"This ability of yours, you can propulse a metal with great control, but in order to recharge them, it has to get attracted to you, pulling it towards you. But, I noticed that the more mass the metal has, the more harder it is to control, therefore the handle and the knife were nearly impossible for you to slow its trajectory when it is near you. Am I right or not?"

"You are one cocky individual..."

"Me? Cocky...? How rude." I sprinted quickly grabbing the handle of my knife and I sliced his throat downwards.

Blood came gushing from his throat everywhere, although it became minor as he stitches his wound up with a controlled needle.

"Ach! I'll definitely... definitely have someone take revenge!" Suddenly, that needle he used to stitched himself, pierced through my brain.

"You idiot! Completely distracted! Nijito shouted.

"Ack! You bastard...!" I rushed towards Nijito with my knife and stabbed Nijito in his skull.

"You call that a last resort? A brain for a brain, get it-?" I suddenly collapsed to the floor, it was such a mess, my blood was gushing everywhere, I was at the point of bleeding out. I can feel the pain everywhere now, it seems like my andrenaline ran out, it hurts beyond hell... My only hope... please come soon, Ms. Kyo-

Everything was black.
