Chapter 367 A Plan Not Mine [1]
It had been 2 days since I started training with Req and by now I had completely learned how to use Eclipse. Along with that, I also got a hang of handling 10% of Requiem's full power.
After all, while it gave an enormous buff the power itself was quite hard to control since I wasn't used to it. Though now I was learning to do that.
But that's not what took the priority right now. I was equipped with all that I needed to face Akumi and thus I was going to go forward that route now.
For that I already had a plan in mind—or well, it wasn't really "my plan" since I was not the one doing most of the things.
I had been observing Akumi all this ti and from what I could tell he was going to do sothing to , thus what I needed to do was give him the chance to strike.
From there I would simply go along with what he had in mind. Before I had told him that he couldn't kill inside the academy campus since he would get in trouble as well. Therefore I'm sure he will try to kill when I'm outside the campus, and that's exactly what I was doing now.
It was past ten in the night and I had left the academy campus a few minutes ago. There were still a few people on the streets which didn't make it a suitable spot, hence I decided to walk down a path that was less crowded.
I turned and took an alleyway that was far from the main street. There were obviously lights on the road since this entire city was illuminated with bright magic lights even at night, however, I stopped seeing anyone walking down the sa path after a few minutes of walking.
Now it was just , walking alone in an alleyway. The only sound I could hear was my footsteps. I put my hands inside my pocket and continued walking.
[Do you really think he'll co?] Req asked. She was able to communicate with through telepathy again and I also had the Requiem sword attached to my waist.
'Yeah, he will,' I replied. 'He wants to kill so badly and this is the only way he can do that. Since if he tried to kill inside the academy campus he will get caught no matter where he does it or how sneaky he tries to be.'
[I understand that but isn't what you are doing seems way too fishy? Like, it's obvious you are trying to lure him out? Only an idiot will fail to see that.]
I chuckled a bit at that. 'Yeah, only an idiot,' I said.

About ten minutes later I began to hear so footsteps behind . I had no need to look behind in order to confirm, I knew that two people had erged and were tailing .
Those two people soon increased their pace and were closely next to , and then they were on my side. Both of them seed about sowhere in their thirties and had fairly built bodies.
'rcenaries perhaps,' I thought to myself.
One of them went and stood in front of , blocking my way forward while the other stood behind .
"Excuse ?" I said, just like any normal student would in this situation. "Can you please step aside?" I asked politely.
However, I didn't receive a response. No, that wouldn't be the right thing to say. I did get a response, it's just that the response ca in the form of a kick on my back rather than in the form of words.
The guy behind kicked in the back, hurling forward as I crashed face-down on the ground. Then the guy in front of took a few fast steps forward and kicked in the face. That kick was hard and made turn my body. Now I was lying on my back, looking up at the beautiful night sky.
One of them ca close and held from my collar, pulling up. I was basically hanging on his hand when he delivered a hard punch on my face, then another, then another, and once again.
After that, he threw on the ground and kicked in the stomach. By that ti the second guy also ca and joined him and both of them started beating the crap out of .
A dozen or so kicks later they stopped and looked at —their expression was of disgust and disappointnt.
"What a loser," one of them said. "He had a fucking sword with him, yet he never used it."
"Who knows, maybe he doesn't even know how to use a sword," the other one replied.
"The sword looks quite expensive though. Can we take it?"
"Hmm, we were only expected to deliver the boy so I think taking the sword would be fine. From what I can tell, it will fetch a great price."
Then the guy bent on his knees and tried to take out the Requiem sword from my waist. However, no matter how hard he tried the sword was not coming out of its sheath and neither was the sheath ready to leave my waist.
It was like the sword was stuck to my body.
"Tch, it's not coming off!" the guy said in an irritated tone.
He tried pulling the sword forcefully but it still wasn't ready to bulge even a bit.
"Ah fuck it!" he said and kicked in the stomach trying to pent out his frustration.
"W-What are you…doing?" I asked in a weak, squealing voice.
"BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!" he scread and kicked in the face, knocking unconscious.
Or well, supposedly knocking unconscious.
One of the two guys then ca close and picked up, hanging on his shoulder. They then began to walk toward a certain path into the alleyways.
To a place where soone was most likely waiting for .
