ORION
Man Shaded
Wandering around into the luxurious house of an official, in fact there was nothing strange at all. The existence of someone he had felt was suddenly lost without a trace.
He combed through the entire back garden and slit he checked so as not to miss a single thing. So was the back of Hendrik's daughter's room.
“Nobody is here. Cussing is also free because there is no suitable place for him to hide.”
At first he felt useless coming here, but no longer after he heard a rustling sound then followed by a loud bang from behind. One of the flower pots there was broken, a man wearing a black mask ran away from her.
Orion immediately chased the man. He shouted to ask the man to stop. But the longer the man got away from him. He ran very fast, almost making Orion lose track of him.
The drap! The drap!
“You don't want me to have to make it stop with my fire power!” thought Orion while running and extending a hand forward.
Focusing the energy at one point towards his palm, a fireball appeared and then elongated as Orion wished.
It makes it elongated with two sharp tapered ends. As soon as it was done, he made it dart fast but unfortunately the man was conscious. He dodged easily, then returned to running.
After dodging without the slightest injury, the man's form disappeared as if melting into a paved road.
Taps! Orion stopped running. He looked around and no one was seen. He then brought his ears closer to the paved road, there was no special sound. The man's existence completely disappeared.
There are not many big trees around here. Orion hesitated that the man wanted to fool her. There are only the walls of luxury homes, tall and large. The scorching sun and breezy wind felt the stinging heat as Orion stepped back and looked for his whereabouts.
The shadow turned west, moving along with the clouds in the blue sky.
The splash! The sound of water gurgling, someone who lives in the housing is watering the streets with water through a hose. At that time, the thing Orion realized was an unnaturally moving shadow.
“Why is there an unidirectional shadow!? It's also not from just plain running water, is it?” thought with jelly.
Orion darted towards where the shadow was going. Moments later the moving shadow stopped and gave rise to the form of a black masked man.
“Meet you!” cry Orion in a loud voice.
Orion then ran at full speed following the man. This man seemed to be very panicked from being surprised by her. They end up in a relentless pursuit.
When one time, Orion tried the technique of expanding his range of attack. He stretched out his arms while running and let out a fire in both hands. He intended to make such a classy technique, but unfortunately once he cast his own power, it suddenly disappeared when it came to the shadow of the man.
“Ah? It was really hard?”
If you think about it, when he first issued this technique was also said to be still not very perfect.
“The guy! How long will he run from me!?” amuk Orion's.
Turning in an alley, Orion again accelerated his run. And very lucky, it turns out the masked man took the wrong path. They're at a dead end with Orion blocking the only way out.
“If what I think is true, you are the one who planted needles to girls?” Orion asked as he prepared himself with the flames revolving around his left arm.
Hope he gets an answer but it seems like it will be useless if you keep waiting. Especially when this man who was in front of him was looking at him by raising one eyebrow. Like mocking.
“Alright, I won't wait for you to answer. Well, every criminal would not confess easily either. What if I force you?” thought Orion.
Using agility in terms of jumping faster, he approached in one step while raising a fist.
Bruak!! It was the wall that he hit that made it crack, the loud bang made the streets tremble a little. The man's body penetrated into the wall as if it was indeed part of his body. The fire that should not have been easily extinguished just because Orion had punched the wall violently disappeared in an instant.
“It turns out not because of the way I sucked at controlling it but rather because of the power of this person, yes.”
The man pierced through the wall and disappeared as if he had swallowed his own shadow.
***
It's free to keep looking, that's what Orion thinks right now about black masked men. His strange strength caused him to worry, and to think how to deal with it if the power of Orion had simply vanished because of it.
Orion returned to the luxurious house, at a glance he looked from outside the fence and felt himself no longer needed he decided to leave.
“Nak! Come here!”
However, Hendrik calls Orion to go back inside. Inside, Orion was treated to plenty of food on the table.
“This what?” ask Orion. With wide eyes surprised to see this one sight.
Looks classy, even the look of all the food on the table feels like in a fancy restaurant. For the first time, Orion faced this. So that he can't stop gaping.
“I serve a lot of food, because I think you're hungry. Eat, don't hesitate. And of course I did not only serve food or drink, the payment that had kept my daughter safe I sent to where Arutala was.”
“You don't have to bother. I can't accept all of this,” said Orion who was really shy.
“It's okay. Thanks to you, I'm healthier than ever.” Even Hendrik's daughter also greeted and presented other things.
“Ah, you no longer feel any pain?” ask Orion to Ayu.
“I'm fine. Then, don't talk too formally to me,” the door.
“Ba-well,” says Orion stammered.
Because it has been presented so much, moreover, they always look at Orion with a clean face and continue to smile, making Orion unable to leave.
He also ate enough food, after feeling full then stop.
“After not eating? It's full, huh?” thought Hendrik.
“Yes, thanks for the meal. I want to ask, this is about matters related to the father's daughter. Is it okay to talk about it here?” ask Orion.
“Please if you want to ask.”
“Alright then. I just want to know, who was the last person who came before I came here? If you like, you tell me.”
Deciding to ask, who was the last to come here before him, might get a point of enlightenment regarding the identity of the man.
