MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 25 Instructions

New day, this time I walk alone in the trading district, there is no particular reason I just like to walk the street while trying all the food there is.

"Hmm hm hm~" humming

"Please!"

Although the sound was very small but with my enhanced hearing I could hear it a little.

"Help me!"

I ignored the sound and kept walking but it was very disturbing.

So at least I decided to take a little look at what happened.

I followed the voice and entered into a narrow and deserted alley.

the deeper I go the voice also gets clearer so I'm pretty sure.

in front of me I saw a turn and there was a half-naked woman surrounded by some big men.

Her clothes already looked like a washcloth because it was forcibly opened, now the woman was lying down with a thug sitting on top of her.

Wahh what should I do? a run? helped him? or maybe play? :)

I decided to go down and approach them.

"Am I going the wrong way? it's bad to get lost."

I emerged from the turn like an innocent man.

I turned towards those few people and all of them also instantly shut up and looked at me.

"Ohh excuse me! do you know where to buy a satay around here? I heard it was in the trading district but I got lost hahahah."

The bandits recovered from his shock and the person who looked like the leader pointed at the person to approach me.

"Wahh it would be very dangerous if you got lost, here I will take you there."

"Thank you very much."

The moment the bandit touched my back I immediately took his hand then raised it forward making it fly into the air and hit the ground hard.

"Brok!"

The man immediately fainted.

"Hahaha sorry I didn't do it on purpose, and sorry also because there's no such thing as satay in this world."

"Kill the boy!"

All the bandits went straight ahead and I gave a few punches right in the chest to make them all faint.

Now the leader who came in sat on the woman.

"I give you a little advice, if you want to do this please keep your mouth shut so that he can't scream because the sound of his screams is so annoying that it makes my ears hurt."

The leader started to stand up and walked towards me.

"You're strong enough to be the size of a boy."

The leader attacked me very quickly.

Damn it so fast!

I can't believe the bandits can move this fast.

I instantly upgraded my physique with the light element to compensate for its speed.

"Hahaha why? you're just a kid who can run away now."

After rediscovering my composure I continued to dodge the bandits' attacks while analyzing his strength.

Not knowing what happened, I hit the bandit's stomach and pushed him away.

I imagined he would fly up to the wall but what happened was that he was only pushed back a few meters.

"Tch this is so annoying."

The bandit rambled and then took a shot from his pocket and stabbed him directly into his arm.

"Haha! I feel the power overflowing inside me!"

The bandit's magic power instantly exploded from within his body.

I've seen this, it's like the unification of the handicap that students usually wear during selection tournaments, only this one is wilder.

If left alone this person would die because his body was unable to withstand that power.

The bandits attacked me very quickly but that doesn't mean I can't fight it.

I dodged the bandit's attack and counterattacked by hitting him in the stomach with a reinforced attack.

It made him pushed back and immediately lowered his head and spewed out liquid.

"No way, I was the chosen one! how could I lose to this brat!?"

The bandit stood up and attacked once again, this time I did not retaliate with punches but kicks reinforced by the darkness element of mine.

The bandit was thrown into the wall to destroy it.

"Soak!"

The bandit sat down on the floor limply.

When I intended to tie him up and then take him to Lucifer's residence to research the bandits began to squirm.

His body began to grow like a balloon ready to explode, I panicked and ran straight towards the woman and lifted her up to take her away.

I tried to run as fast as I could, I didn't know why but my instincts said so.

I used the light pooling and ran as fast as I could.

"Twoar!!"

The shockwave sent me crashing forward.

I turned around and saw a mushroom-shaped smoke.

It was an extremely powerful explosion even at the level of mass destruction magic.

"Haaah haah that's almost."

"A what is it?"

The woman asked tremblingly.

"I don't know either, let's go before people get together."

"Thank you."

The woman took it casually, her face was indeed reddened but at least I was expecting her to scream "Emesum" or something.

"Let's go."

We went back to the main road and there people had started to gather so we decided to leave as soon as possible.

After getting to a quiet place I decided to leave.

"Well we split up here, you can return it tomorrow in the arena."

After saying that I turned around and started walking but I felt something touch my sleeve.

"Umm can you accompany me to go home? I'm a little scared."

I forgot about that, she must have been traumatized.

"All right, I'll keep you company."

"Thank you."

We both went to the residential district and we arrived at a luxurious house.

"Welcome, miss."

The waiter approached us and bowed.

"I want to rest so don't let anyone into my room."

"Understand."

"Follow me."

We both went upstairs and went into a super big room.

"Sit anywhere, I want to change clothes for a while."

The woman went into another room that seemed to be a dressing room.

I went around the room and was amazed because although it was not as big as Lucy's room but it was still quite big, at least she was a noble.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The woman came out in casual clothes, she's pretty enough I guess even when compared to Lucy or Ana.

"No problem, this room is amazing."

"You're kidding, this is nothing compared to the others, please sit down."

"Thank you."

I'm actually a little suspicious now.

"I remember you, you were a student of the Fibel academy who fought against the Luxen academy in the first round."

"I'm so happy that you remember a losing person as pathetically as I am, My name is Aria Argenta you can call me Aria."

"well Aria then you can call me Ryu."

"What a good name."

"Even if you lose but you get into this tournament means you're the strongest person in the Fibel Academy, and I suspect why someone like you could end up in the hands of that bandit."

"Haha that's so sad I guess, honestly I don't understand why either but Edward hasn't removed the seal yet."

"Huh? wait, you mean your magic is still sealed?"

"True, that's why I can lose to bandits."

"Should we report it? I think this is too much."

Aria's face looked bright but instantly became moody.

"I thank you but my family lives in Leviathan's territory and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

"But with your magic sealed like this you will become an ordinary demon."

"No problem and instead the seal will last forever, because it is installed quickly so it will last at most 1 week."

"If you say so, fine."

"I'm quite curious, you're human right? how could a human end up in the Empire and even become the princess's personal knight?"

"Well, why is everyone always asking the same question. The story is quite long."

"It doesn't matter we have a lot of time."

I told him how I fought the dragon lord, got carried away by an avalanche and ended up being found by Lucy while dying.

"It must have been hard for you, ohh and were you alone from the start?"

"No, I'm with some of my colleagues, why ask that."

I was just a little suspicious because I never mentioned friends in the story in the first place for fear of someone using them.

"Hmm I used to hear about rumors that there was a human sighting in my territory but I thought it was impossible because the border was heavily guarded, but after hearing your story I thought it was one of your comrades."

"I think I'll be visiting to find him, in the meantime can you find out where he is?"

"Sure, I owe you so I'll help you."

"Thank you, later I will also speak kindly to Edward to remove the seal."

"That's good but please don't overdo it."

"sure."

We kept talking for a while and when it was dark I decided to leave.

"I'll be back now."

"Come visit whenever you want, I'll welcome you."

I walked away and heard Aria muttering behind me.

"Sorry."

I ignored it and kept going.
