Chereads / Jackal : The Goddess Of Death / Chapter 37 - Zenith

Chapter 37 - Zenith

Von was a teenage boy with short brown hair and heterochromic eyes, one gold and one silver. He always wore an eyepatch over his gold eye, not showing it to anyone. Every time he went to school, he wore a black cape and had on black gloves.

He was known as the weirdo at school for multiple reasons. Many people in his school hated things like anime. Despite the school being filled with underage, premarital sex, many people criticized anime for more lewd themes. Despite people being bigoted towards white people, they complained that anime was mostly Asians with no diversity. Despite the school being filled with short people, even the adults, they called anime pedophilic because of loli and shotacons solely because the characters were short and acted innocent. And many more cases like this circulated in the school. It was like the physical embodiment of Twitter.

But amongst everyone, there was one man who stood above the rest. And a man so universally hated, yet unbreakable. His name was Von. He was not only a massive weeb, but also a chunibyo. He went by the name of The Starstorm King and would often make scenes at school. Although he was bullied and isolated in his class, he never seemed to stop his antics. He didn't care what others thought about him. He just cared that he was having fun and his classmates and teachers hated him for it.

One day while walking back from school, he found a cat with blue and white fur in a box on the street. He saw that it didn't have an owner in sight and figured it was abandoned. The cat looked starved and lonely, so Von decided to feed the cat his dinner he got from his favorite restaurant.

Everyday, the cat would return outside his house. She would wait at his doorstep for him and he would feed her. But even after she was feed, she didn't leave. It was clear that she wanted to live with him, but his parents would never allow it, so Von just ignored her afterward. But the cat never gave up.

Over the coming weeks, Von and the cat began to grow closer. Sometimes, the cat would even follow him to school.

One day, Von came outside the school gates to meet the cat again and he petted her. Despite being dirty, her fur was still super soft and fluffy. Some of his bullies saw this and grew a smile on their faces. Von decided to give the cat a bath in a kitty pool in his garage while his parents were away. After her bath, she nuzzled against him, practically begging him to stay, but he had to send her away.

The next day, Von noticed the cat didn't wait for him outside like she usually did. He wondered if she went to find a new owner and hoped that's what happened. But his hopes were shattered once he got to school. When he opened his locker, he threw up as he was the head of the cat and her mutilated body inside. Von stumbled back in horror right next to the stairs. Out came a man much larger than he was with big muscles. He looked down at Von with a sadistic grin.

"W-What did you do to her?!"

"Oh, so now you wanna break character."

Suddenly, the bully kicked him down the stairs. The last thing he saw before his head cracked against the staircase was the intestines of the cat in his locker.

As the bully began to walk away, the body parts of the cat began to float behind him and formed something more human like. In the next moment, the bully had a pair of claws that ripped through his back.

A few minutes later, the whole school was engulfed in flames and no one inside the school survived. They were all murdered in the same way the cat was.

When the police and firemen pulled up to the scene, they saw someone walking out of the flames in the school. She was a furry cat girl. She had blue and white fur all over her body and she was very tall. She had a blue hair tie with a ponytail. She had a very long tail, along with fluffy cat-like ears. She had golden eyes and wore a red and golden kimono. She wore no shoes, exposing her paws below. In her arms was Von's dead body which she carried close to her body.

The police aimed their guns at her, attempting to fire, but they were all killed before they even had a chance to move. On this day, a new zenith class anomaly was created.
