Parasyte System

The next day, after Jay had finished his preparations to enter the South Zone, he began to think about how to deal with the person who was spying on him.

After seeing the video inside the drone's memory, Jay concluded that it was perfect evidence to use against his personal stalker.

The video began from the moment the drone left the package containing the two products Jay had ordered on his door and ended when Jay turned off the drone.

The drone had even recorded how Jay had dyed his hair!

'...Since when do I have a stalker...?' He thought as an uncomfortable sensation filled his body.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, Jay could not come to a logical conclusion as to why that person was spying on him.

Then, seeing that there was no apparent reason, Jay came to the following conclusion:

"It's got to be one of those 'weirdos', right?" He said with a bitter smile.

By "weirdos," Jay meant those people who had hobbies...not very healthy, so to speak.

"Oh well, at least I know where to go to solve this."

Fortunately, the drone was not just a simple drone without name, it belonged to Jujusen, a huge and highly regarded company with multio, and not only that, it also had irrefutable proof that the drone operator was spying on it.

Although Jay had felt quite uncomfortable with this, he knew he definitely could get something out of this.

Obviously, he was talking about money!

Thinking about it, Jay's mood improved considerably, almost being thankful to that person for spying him...almost.

While it was true that the fact that someone had spied on him was not a pleasant thing at all, Jay wanted to look at the bright side of this.

"Then, I should go to one of Jujusen's offices to sort this out...but first...I'll pick up my little ones."

After saying that, Jay, already disguised, took his backpack and left the house, heading towards the South Zone.

***

At the entrance to the South Zone, quite close to the neighborhood where Jay had defeated Taylor and Colt, unlike the lonely and dangerous look this district had at night, right now there were several open stores, with people walking on the sidewalks.

All together, it looked like a lively and busy zone.

Even though the South Zone was a dangerous part of the city, there were still a considerable number of low-income people living there, which led to people opening several local businesses due to the demand for various products in the area.

Although people walked normally on the sidewalk, one could tell that they were a little nervous, as if something that made them uncomfortable was nearby, making them hurry up.

Every now and then, they would look at a small cafeteria nearby, just to move their eyes in a hurry, afraid that they may attract the attention of the person inside of it.

"Hm, these cookies taste great." Said one man who was inside the cafeteria as he watched people pass by with a smile on his face.

Since the windows of the cafeteria were large, he had a wide view of the neighborhood and the people outside.

This man's appearance was simple but stylish, he had gray jeans, a leather jacket and a white T-shirt along with a pair of sunglasses, his hair was brown and it was tied up in a ponytail.

"Thank you, it's a new recipe." Replied the cafeteria manager, who, unlike the people outside, did not seem uncomfortable or intimidated in the least.

The man said nothing else and just kept eating a few cookies in addition to drinking tea from time to time, continuing to observe the outside of the cafeteria.

If one looked closely, you could see that right now, in this man's pupils, there was a clear blue glow, totally different to the one Jay or Carl could do, indicating that this man was a rank (C-) super!

However, the next moment, the glow faded, and the man's pupils returned to their original brown color.

Although it was incredibly difficult for Jay and Carl to activate the aura, this man could activate and deactivate it at will very easily, which indicated that he had a really good control over his energy.

He had activated his aura momentarily to improve his senses and that way feel if there was a strong super in the vicinity, but unfortunately, he could not find anything.

"Haa...still nothing." He said with a bit of boredom, he had been doing this for quite some time, It was understandable that he was bored since nothing interesting had happened in all that time.

This man's name was Aiden, the new guardian of the 31st District.

Or at least that's what it seemed to normal people, since the real reason he was there was to catch the unknown man who had defeated Taylor and Colt.

While it was true that the unknown man attacked at night, the boss thought it would be best to start taking precautions early on, which is why he was keeping a close eye on people passing on the sidewalk even though it was still daylight.

As to whether the unknown man would come this way, Aiden was sure he would.

The South Zone had two entrances, which were in District 31 and 29, Metal Body and Wolf's Fang territory respectively.

The difference in these 2 entrances was that at the entrance of District 29, one had to pay a toll to get through, not to mention the fact that in Wolf's Fang territory, robberies were common.

In contrast, at the entrance to the 31st district, anyone could pass without paying a toll, running the risk of being robbed or something like that.

Taking into account the fact that the unknown man was wearing an outfit that concealed his identity, it was obvious that he did not want to be discovered.

Therefore, he had to keep a low profile, so going through the entrance of the 29th district was not a good option as he would definitely encounter problems as soon as he got in.

"Hm...?"

Right at that moment, Aiden's gaze fell on a certain person.

A young man who had just entered his field of vision, he had golden hair that looked well taken care of and blue eyes that stood out, as for his attire, he was wearing gray jeans with a brown sweater and a backpack on his back.

Looking at his features, he could not be described as a handsome man, but he definitely had a peculiar charm.

'...His hair looks good...' thought Aiden, focusing on the young man's hair, 'I wonder if it's natural...'

He then activated his aura again to improve his senses, inspecting this young man.

Although the young man was across the street, such a small distance was nothing for a rank (C-) super.

'...Well, it looks like it is.'

Aiden was a little surprised, although there were many people with brightly colored hair, such a pure blond was still unusual.

After confirming that the young man's hair color was real, Aiden proceeded to check the amount of energy present in the young man's body, in order to see what rank the young man was.

This was one of the ways to discover the rank of a super, it was a useful and convenient method to use, although it was only available to rank (C-) supers or up.

'(D-) rank, he's at Taylor's level, higher than I expected.' Aiden thought, a bit surprised.

Since normally the amount of energy in an average person's body was in the (F) or (E) rank, this young man's (D-) rank showed he was a bit strong.

'And that backpack...a college student...?'

When Aiden saw the backpack, he began to think.

Since the classes for high school were over, judging for the young man's appearance, he could only be a college student.

However...he had been in the cafeteria since early morning, around 5 a.m, because he was an early riser, he had arrived very early.

In fact, he even helped the manager to open the cafeteria, and from that moment on he had been watching the people entering and exiting the South Zone.

There were some people who entered the South Zone that Aiden hadn't saw leave, however, all those people had tired faces and work clothes, so the reason they were coming back so early was obvious...they worked at night.

What was this college student's excuse, though?

Had he spent the night in the center of the city due to an intense night of partying?

Of course not, his refreshed and full of vitality look indicated that he had slept perfectly, so that possibility was ruled out!

Besides, Aiden was sure he'd remember such fabulous hair if he'd seen it before.

Then, he was a stranger entering the South Zone!

Of course, it could be that Aiden hadn't really saw this young man before but...

'...It's definitely suspicious.'

After thinking that, Aiden got up from his seat to go and interrogate the young man.

"Tim!"

But just then, before Aiden could even get to the door of the cafeteria, a voice was heard outside.

"I told you to wait for me, this isn't a place you can walk through alone!"

Because the volume of his voice was a little loud, some people turned to the person who had said that, Aiden included.

It was a young man with glasses and lustrous brown hair, he was carrying a backpack just like the young blond man and it was obvious that his words were directed at him.

'Oh...Noah.' Thought Aiden after seeing the person who had yelled.

Because of his peculiar esper ability, Noah was a little known in the South Zone.

"You're just too slow." replied the young blond man with a bored expression on his face.

"I think you're the one who's too fast...well, never mind, we'd better hurry if we want to finish the history project on time." Noah simply ignored his friend's comment and started walking besides him.

"Alright~"

After that small exchange, the two continued to walk.

"So it was his friend...damn." Said Aiden, sitting back in his seat, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Although he had thought the young blond man was suspicious, with Noah's appearance, all doubts about his identity were clearly answered.

"Haa...looks like it's going to be a boring day...." He said before biting another cookie.
