In the middle of the night, Ronx woke up and decided to get some water downstairs.
He went down the stairs, turned on the light and drank a cup of water. He then turned off the light and went to his room. As he was about to lay down on the bed, he saw a figure of a girl with long white hair, standing on top of a pole while holding a scythe.
As Ronx was sleepy, he was still unsure if it was him imagining it. So he rubbed his eyes and focused closely and upon realizing it wasn't his imagination, he got extremely scared and started to slowly move backwards to get a pencil that he could use to stab himself, in case he needed to.
As he grabbed his pencil that was on his study desk, the figure flew towards him in an incredible speed, breaking the window in the process.
Before Ronx could stab himself, the girl jumped and held her scythe, high above Ronx, she then tried to slash him vertically by sliding the scythe downwards in a quick motion. However, He was able to dodge.
The girl then positioned her scythe behind his feet and tried to pull him but Ronx instinctively jumped. Ronx then kicked her while still being the air, launching her onto the wall.
Ronx then stabbed himself multiple times in a quick motion and hardened the blood, creating thorns made out of blood. The thorns surrounded her and stuck onto her, tying her up by making the thorns act like ropes.
She was now trapped, unable to move.
"Who are you?! And why did you attack me?!" Ronx asked angrily.
"You deserve it, you rotten devil" she answered angrily.
"Devil?! You're the devil here!" Ronx said angrily, who made the thorns around her even tighter, making the thorns slightly penetrate her skin.
"Why is evil aura emitting from you despite being an undead crow member?!" she asked angrily, demanding an answer.
"Huh evil aura?" Ronx thought for a moment, clearly confused but continued on, "How do you know about me?"
"I am in the same organization and of course I know the person who defeated the headless man!" She answered, angry at him for tying her up like this.
"First of all, I didn't defeat the creature alone! Secondly, I don't care if you are an undead crow member, I will still be killing you" Ronx replied coldly.
"Huh? Kill? Why did I say that?" Ronx thought to himself. "Did I use to be so aggressive?"
"Is that so?" the girl said, her face turning serious. "Then die."
She suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Ronx and slashed him cleanly with her scythe.
"Huh?! Teleportation?!" Ronx thought.
As Ronx turned around to retaliate, she wasn't there.
He looked around but found no one, so he thought that she had run away but the very next moment, she attacked him from above. Thankfully, Ronx managed to get away just in time.
"Answer me! Why do you have an evil aura surrounding you?!" She asked angrily, pointing her scythe at him.
"Evil aura? I have no idea what you are talking about?!" Ronx replied, confused.
"Speak honestly or else...I'll have to kill you!" The white-haired girl said.
"Look. I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about" Ronx said, trying to prove himself innocent. "First, you break to in MY house, then you start attacking me and now you are accusing me of having some kind of evil aura?!"
The girl sharpened his eyes, not sure whether to trust him or not but knew he was right.
She hesitated but slowly lowered her scythe, though, still cautious of him.
"I...am sorry. You don't seem like you would have an evil aura. I apologize" she said while slightly bowing.
"It's alright, plus you didn't do that much damage apart from a slash on my back" Ronx said.
"I am so sorry, I will make sure to tell the organization to execute me" She said, feeling guilty.
"What?? You don't have to do that!" Ronx said, laughing nervously, not sure if she is joking or not.
"Really?" She said, slightly surprised. "Thanks."
With that, she suddenly disappeared.
Ronx let out a small sigh, leaning onto the wall for support. "What the hell was that?"
"Evil aura? Hm...wait...I became a follower of that strange being. Is it because of that?!" Ronx thought to himself, widening his eyes in realization.
"Thankfully, she didn't realize or else...I don't know" Ronx thought, slightly relieved. "Nonetheless, I have make sure nobody finds out."
After that, Ronx cleaned the room up and put everything in the same position as before, removing anything that was broken or unusable. Though, there was still a broken window. Nonetheless, Ronx tried to go to sleep but he couldn't.
He kept thinking thinking about the fight and him becoming a follower of a strange being.
"What does it mean to become a follower of some random being? Do I have to do some tasks? Ehh...whatever. I'll figure it out tomorrow."
After thinking for a while, eventually he went to sleep.
