Max was sleeping and it was a good dream but that was interrupted when he was called on his hell phone he groaned in frustration and saw that it was moxxie he answered with tiredness.
Max: mox i like you and all but why did you call me in the middle of the night?
Moxxie: sorry about that listen blitz called and he called me about the harvest moon festival and millie liked the idea so I wondered if you wanted to come.
Max really wants to say no but a part of him was curious about that festival and he is completely awake now.
Max: I'm coming were do we meet?
Moxxie: blitz's office.
Max: got it.
Max got himself ready this time he decided to leave his jacket behind and go in a black t shirt he got to the I.m.p office after a while they got on to the van and drove off to the wrath ring.
Millie: oh right max this is the first time you've been to the wrath ring right?
Max: yeah now that you mention it this my first time here.
Millie: oh I'll tell you now mister you are going to love it especially now that the harvest moon festival is here.
Max: is that celebration event? Like a birthday?
Millie: something like that it's basically an event that celebrates all of our hard work but the pain games are the best but it's sucks for me because I can't play in it.
Max: how come?
Millie looked away in a sheepish manner.
Millie: I kinda got carried away in a few and caused nine funerals and I'm sorta banned from the pain games. and somehow my sister still gets to compete and let me tell you now Maxi she has more of a body count than me.
Max: right.
Max then noticed moxxie was awfully quiet he thought that with the way himself and Millie were talking he would though he would be giving him the death glare but instead he looked nervous milllie also noticed and sat beside moxxie to get his attention.
Millie: mox you okay?
Moxxie: huh? Oh yeah I'm fine.
Max: mox your not your shaking like kids who are about to get a needle shot.
Moxxie just let out a sigh of defeat.
Moxxie: well I'm nervous about seeing your family again because every time they look at me I just gets to me you know.
Max: Millie do your family not like mox?
Millie sucked air through her teeth and max could tell this was a sensitive topic.
Max: actually no you don't have to tell me I'll find out when we get there I respect both of your privacy.
Moxxie: thanks.
After a while of driving they got to a farm like area and max was honestly curious about this living style compare to his.
He was raised in a shrine and mikado sold charms for people and pure soul who wondered in as protection from lost souls his family isn't poor but max decided to waist his life working on a job that bearly does any good he decided to become an exorcist to provide and get stronger to protect the only person that gave him a home and a actual good family.
But compared to a farm max was imagining himself playing a banjo with a straw hat that made his sister in his psyche laugh.
When they parked max saw two imps one looked almost identical to Millie and one had a mustache and was muscular he would assume that those are her parents.
Millie got out of the van first and ran towards her parents and four got out to greet them.
Max saw moxxie struggling with there luggage and he decided to give him a hand.
Max: let me take care of that.
Moxxie: thanks max.
He grabbed the luggage and put it over his shoulder.
He saw blitz and Joe who he managed to hear from moxxie when he dragged into the conversation.
He put the luggage near the stairs of the house he didn't want to get in and start a commotion so he left it there.
He decided he might as well introduce himself to Lin and Joe he is gonna be hear a while.
When he got close enough the two notices him and they were surprised to say the least.
Joe: well I'll be your that famous human that took care of those nasty things.
Max: yup max McKnight Mr.joe right.
Joe: just call me Joe son that just makes me sound old.
Lin: you aren't honey even if you were I wouldn't trade you for anything.
Lin pecked Joe on the checks and approach max.
Lin: got to say you look pretty strong for a human.
Max: well you I don't really want to be all jacked up I'm fine with the way I'm.
Max saw Lin with a small smirk and he felt a chill down his spine.
Lin: take off your shirt.
Max was dumbfounded and so were everyone else.
All: what?
Lin: I heard humans don't exactly have strong bodies and you are the first human we saw in person so I'm just curious.
Millie: Maw this is-
Max: ok fine.
Max took off his shirt and showed his well build body he wasn't jacked up but more slim muscular and everyone were surprised at his physique and the girls were blushing.
Max: satisfied?
He put his shirt back and decided to pretend that never happened.
Max: max McKnight nice to meet you Lin.
Lin shook of her astonished look and shook max's hand.
Millie: got to say maxi you are ripped how did get like that?
Max: tough fights and training and I my senior beating the hell out of me?
Blitz: so you got your ass kicked guess you aren't such a hot shot.
Max: you try fighting someone who literally has a shadow dog and the ability to use shadow and let's see if you think is so easy.
Joe: well anyway max why don't you enter the pain games?
Max: oh that sorry but I'm not interested.
Loona: what you can't handle the pressure?
Max looked at loona with an irritated look and he saw a mountain and decided to display his power.
Max: you all might want to step back
Moxxie: why?
Max: just trust me.
They were all confused but stood back.
Now with them out of danger max got out his black arms and gathered spiritual energy in his black palms making a black energy ball he aimed it at the mountain and fired.
A few moments later the mountain had a gaping hole in it this display shocked everyone.
Max: if I was a crazy bastard a lot of people would have died by that blast so be grateful that I have a good brain on my head.
All they could do is nod but that was broken when a loud horse cried out making everyone look and they saw an imp that had a cowboy look to him and he had yellow eyes.
Striker: howdy you must be Millie I heard good things from your folks.
Max took one look at this guy and he used his senses to see his soul and what he got was not pleasant.
Striker noticed max with hand in his pockets looking at him like a hawk striker didn't know why but it felt like he was staring directly at his soul but he still put on the friendly act.
Striker: you must be the famous human I've heard so much about you.
Max still looked at striker with killing intent but he calmed down a bit
Max: really? that must be quite impressive.
Striker: it is say why are you are still in hell? I figured some like you would want to get out?
Max: I did but honestly it isn't that bad well almost but this place is pretty interesting.
Striker: is that so?
Joe: hey striker come here!
Striker walked over to Joe to see what was up.
Striker: something wrong?
Joe: nothing much I just want you to handle that hog for dinner.
Striker was about to do it but he heard moxxie about competing in the pain games so he decided to show him up.
Striker: actually I think we should see if the little man can handle a simple hog.
Moxxie: me?
Striker: yeah I figured that you can at least show us what you can do.
Moxxie: all right watch me-
Moxxie was about to reach for his gun but striker stopped and handed him the equipment to handle the hog properly moxxie was already nervous about this.
Max saw a glint in blitz's eyes and he grabbed him by the back of the his shirt.
Max: the guy is nervous enough leave him alone.
Blitz: you are no fun.
Millie tried to stop moxxie but he didn't listen and he managed to get the rope wrapped around the hog's neck and max saw that he was struggling to pierce through it shell.
All the sudden striker came into the picture pushing moxxie off of the hog and he grabbed the knife and pierce through it killing it.
Max heard a crack and he got to moxxie who was glaring at striker and he couldn't blame the guy.
Moxxie: ow fuck my arm.
Millie: I'll get the bandages.
Max: that's not necessary.
Millie was about to ask why but max created a small whip and he poured healing energy into moxxie's arms
The others watched In awe this the first time they saw his healing ability.
Max: try moving your arm.
Moxxie did as max said and his arm felt like it was never injured.
Moxxie: thanks how many abilities did you have?
Max just shrugged and put his hand in his pockets.
Max: I'm full of surprises.
Max walked off to explore the barn he wasn't familiar with these types of places so he was curious about the living conditions.
While he was walking he saw a female imp that's sorta looks like Millie but she was taller and one of her eyes was covered by a hair bang.
And a short imp who was throwing a bag who he assumed to have a body.
He would have been suspicious but he sensed there souls and they aren't bad people or at least he hopes so.
He was about to walk away from the scene until he was called out.
Sallie: hey humie I saw you with my sister and her co workers got to say this you are the first human I've seen in person.
Max: thanks you are Sallie Millie's sister?
Sallie: oh so she told you about me and let me guess she told you about the whole I have more of a body count than her?
Max looked on to were the little imp who he assumed was her brother who was digging a hole to bury the body.
Max: I can definitely see why Millie said that.
Sallie: oh that body was from the previous pain games and no I didn't kill him he was already dead when I found him I just decided to might as well give the poor bastard a place to rest.
Max: well good to know that at least you aren't a psychopathic killer.
Max got ot his hand for a hand shake.
Max: max McKnight.
Sallie took his hand and shook it.
Sallie: Sallie may nice to meet you so I walked past and I saw you with your shirt up got to say that body is one a man would kill for.
Max:(if only she meet Jonathan or Thomas they have more muscle than me)
Max: well thanks but I was just passing by and exploring the place I've never been to a farm.
Sallie: you haven't?
Max: no I was raised in the city well mostly in a shrine but that aside I was just exploring.
Sallie: I can show you around if you would like.
Max: sure I don't mind as long you don't try stabbing me in the back.
Sallie: okay maxi boy one I don't kill someone unless there asking for it and second why would I do that?
Max: it's because of that guy striker.
Sallie: what about him?
Max: he is gonna do something I don't know what but I don't like it.
Sallie: yeah I can kinda see why but hey enough of that let me show you around.
Max: yeah [I'm going to keep an eye on that guy if I see him doing something suspicious]
