Chapter 22: Psychos (2)
Chapter 22: Psychos (2)
POV: William Hunt (VIA Agent)
My words are simple truths with lies mixed within them. This conversational skill can lead me to control not only the conversation, but a person's mental state as well.
This led me to where I am currently, a teenager acting like a madman attempting to blow up the entire room we are in.
I read his report given to me and I believe he has talent in this field, but that doesn't mean he currently is up to par with my standards. The only way to test this was the stunt I pulled off with blatantly insulting his darkest times.
One must have complete control over themselves in this field, if not you're simply dead weight and a nobody.
The boy was being tested as soon as he left his room, I watched every single movement he made while coming here all while not being caught. Working as an agent here this is considered a massive failure, so he and I have much to work on.
"BOOOOOOOM"
An explosion rang out at point blank range. The size of this explosion though wasn't all that big, so I was fine. However, the room was completely destroyed with everything inside it being turned to ashes.
I had gotten pushed all the way outside, I put Ki towards my eyes seeing if I could see if the boy was alright. U//ppTodat𝒆d fr/𝒐/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m
As I was peering through the black smoke a pair of grey lifeless eyes met mine. I made out the boy's face which was him smiling like a madman showing his white teeth like a feral animal.
The scars only added on to this crazed look, then I heard a terrifying sound enter my ears.
"Found youuuu."
Upon hearing his awful voice lighting sparks could be seen dancing around the boy. The next moment he was gone and appeared right in front of my face.
He threw a jab towards my jaw, but I easily slipped it and threw a right hook aiming for the back of that big head of his.
He tried to lower his body for me to miss but I managed to still clip him, making him stagger backwards. My hook was followed by a mean side kick which sent the boy flying back into the smoke.
"Tell me idiot, did you think that sorry ass attack would do the trick? Tell me what you're smoking after this I have to try it."
My insult was left with no response, I tried to look for him again but could not find him at all.
'Oh? It seems like he is actually able to control his emotions to some extent. He might be adding them to fuel his combat which is a smart idea. Very good boy, let's see what you're capable of.' I thought to myself, I was examining the boy to see what we needed to work over the next couple of weeks, so being soft was not an option.
His mission is extremely important, I need this kid to become the best version of himself. I don't care what I have to do to get him to that point.
I felt the ground start shaking all around me. I started to look around to see where the attack would come from. I came to found out it would be coming from every direction as rocks with pointy tips started to come flying at me from everywhere.
I dodged most of them easily while breaking the ones I couldn't dodge.
I then felt the kid right behind me and immediately ducked down. A fist flew by right where my head was. The force behind the punch was able to rip through the air leaving a whipping noise behind it.
I grabbed his arm and flipped him over my back and proceeded to slam him into the ground.
I lifted my left palm up towards his body and used wind mana to further imbed him into the ground. A wave of air slammed down into the boy making him sound out a grunt.
"Stop this meaningless assault you loser, I'm not your farther. If you want a beating that bad why don't you go out and find him. Oh wait, he left your ass too, no wonder you're like this."
The boy said nothing and just stared dead into my eyes. His overall presence was no joke, but I've seen way scarier things in my life.
He grabbed onto my left arm and tried to burn it with fire mana. I immediately used wind mana again to blow the flame opposite of my direction.
I noticed electrical wires wrapping around the flame, I reacted poorly though which led to me getting blown back from the explosion once again.
I would be lying if I said this one didn't hurt, but it was not the end of world. I was still able to fight to my fullest capabilities.
I saw the boy getting back up slowly, I could tell he was pretty injured and that going further would be silly.
I decided to go all out moved as quickly as I could and appeared behind the boy. I pulled out handcuffs and put them on his wrists which nullified his ability to attack.
He had tried to fight his way out of them, alas he failed. He did also try to attack me, but with no mana or Ki at his disposal there was no chance of it being successful.
"Alright alright calm down, this was a test to see your capabilities and nothing more. I know I said some hurtful things but get over it, we have a job to do and I'll be teaching you for the next couple of weeks. Go take your ass to a healer and get fixed up. When you are done come back."
"Tch screw you too asshole, so help me god once I found out about what you're sensitive about its over for you." The boy said as he was sitting on the ground with the handcuffs still on him.
"Yeah yeah cry me a river shorty, instead of focusing on me I would worry about that height of yours. Not many girls like short kings like you and an a ugly one at that."
"When you die, I'm going to be the happiest man on this planet. You better ban me from your funerial because I'm pissing on your grave."
"That's pretty fucked up kid...."
"....Yeah I'm sorry.. Intrusive thoughts."
