Wouldn't it be so much fun to see how someone eats back what he says?

In a hut on a hill, Noah and others were enjoying a dessert.
“I did not expect there to be a place this good on the hill is not known,” said Wawan, he really enjoyed his dessert.
“Hoho, you will never feel this way anywhere else,” replied Edmu, he just finished making tea to entertain his guests. After a brief discussion on the road, Edmu decided to take Noah and the others to his place.
The purpose of Edmu taking Noah and the others to his house was to find out more about Noah, what the relationship of two people with this very opposite power was. If Noah's existence would harm Leah, then Edmu would gladly eliminate Noah.
However, when Edmu finds out that Noah and Lea are siblings he feels eliminating Noah now is a bad thing. Therefore, he would devise a plan to make Noah reveal his true intentions.
“Are you guys a Hunter?” Edmu pulled out a rattan chair and sat down. He sipped the flower tea that still reflects smoke, because it was just brewed.
“Ya, except the girl.” Wawan replied with outstretched hands pointing at Lea.
“Aduh,” pekiknya, he immediately pulled his hand and rubbed the part that hurt because hit Lea.
Hearing Wawan's reply, he raised next to his brow confused, “You are not Hunter, Nak?”
“Ya, just ordinary High School girl.” It was not Leah who answered, it was Noah. Really, he really wanted to leave this place immediately. Noah really disliked Edmu who blatantly hated him and considered him a criminal.
“Why don't you become a Hunter? Though you have the potential for it, if you become a Hunter, you might be in Rank A or stronger than that.” There was no lie tucked into Edmu's sentence, he was very sure Lea's power range was more than that. He would probably be a Hunter that exceeded Hunter Rank S, because he knew very well the strength of a Knight of Light was beyond the capacity of an ordinary human.
“What are you sure, Cake?” asked Wawan enthusiastically, even Lea was mengolum smile hearing that, he was sure if he became a Hunter, Lea could certainly help and protect Noah when his beloved brother was in danger.
“Sure sa-“
“Stop talking useless nonsense,” cut Noah. He was really upset right now, it could be that a stranger seemed to want to get Lea involved in danger by making her hear useless things.
Edmu turned to look at Noah's black bead, knowing that he had just upset Noah. Because that's what he wanted.
“Then what about you guys? What level is a Hunter like you?”
“I Ranc C!” Wawan answered enthusiastically.
“And older brother is Hunter Rank F,” he continued.
“Rank F? There's no way it exists. Each Hunter that awoke, their strength would be measured and then grouped into several levels. From E to S, and obviously Rank E is the lowest Rank and Rank S is the strongest Rank. Those who belong to Rank E are trash that are only slightly stronger than ordinary humans, and you say Rank F? Isn't it clear that means he's worse than trash?”
Quiescent.
There was no response from the three people, Wawan was holding back the annoyance of hearing Edmu vilifying Noah and Lea who had just found out about it, of course very surprised. Noah always came back with injuries and was often in and out of the hospital.
What then?
What about Noah?
He did not care about that assumption, being underestimated had become a daily thing for him, so he did not bother about it too much. Well, maybe he used to just be quiet without doing anything, but now it's different.
Wouldn't it be so much fun to see how someone eats back what he says? It would be easy to silence the mouths of people like Edmu, but not now.
….
Luxury black cars speeding through the streets at night. Unlike on a train, traveling by car takes longer because the path they have to pass is twisted.
The clock shows at 23pm, coinciding with that, the car was passing through a quiet forest area. The atmosphere was silent and gripping, until finally from a distance was seen a person who was waving his hand.
When the car Noah was riding was very close, then it was seen a car was stopping in the middle of the road.
The driver stopped the car, and someone approached and knocked on the glass.
“Sorry to interrupt, but can we ask for help?” ask the man, after the driver lowered the windshield.
“What can I help you with?”
Instead of answering directly, the man peered into the passenger's place. As if checking something.
After he confirmed something, he also showed his smirk.
Unbeknownst to the driver, the man pulled out a dagger he had hidden in his jacket. And…
Bugh!
Without a warning the man was already lying on the asphalt and lifeless.

“You okay?” asked Noah from behind, of course Noah was not sleeping. He had been awake since he was afraid that something like this might happen.
And before the driver became a victim, Noah immediately attacked the stranger with black power.
“I'm fine, but is that person okay?” the driver was confused, because suddenly the stranger was lying unconscious.
“You don't have to worry about it, stay here and lock the car door.” Noah took off the safety coir and went straight down.
“Eh, sir is there a problem?”
“So why did you get off?” Wawan who woke up to a noise, a little surprised when he saw Noah out of the car.
“Fixed here. I will be back soon,” stressed Noah, he walked closer to a crowd of people who wanted his life.
Noah clearly knows what they want and the system won't give Noah a warning that his enemies are just market thugs. Certainly among them, must be a great one.
“Isn't he crazy?”
“I didn't expect, the Rank F came out. Though I was already preparing to fight Rank C.”
“Maybe it could be a warm-up for us.”
“Kita? Are you kidding me? Isn't one person enough to beat him?”
As Noah approached, Noah heard the barking of the dog.
“Did Scarlet tell you?” asked Noah without further ado.
A thin man with thorny hair came forward arrogantly. He looked at Noah from top to bottom, then laughed lightly.
“You nanyaaa?”
