The Anti-Hero
Chapter 11: [Red Blood]

Jin who had been tracing the forest for 15 minutes finally met with Bruce

"Bruce, quickly meet the Master" Jin told Bruce calmly

"Yes, I know" Bruce replied and started walking

While walking together, Jin looked at Bruce next to him with curiosity in his eyes

"Bruce, why did you meet the Master?" ask Jin

"It's just an old story, because I don't have the skills so I want to be made a guinea pig by the dark organization of the underworld" Bruce said with a slight touch of sadness in his eyes

"Because people who do not have skills are always considered as trash, then I who disappeared was not even realized by anyone" Bruce continued

"So, what is that organization doing?" continued Jin

"At that time, the organization was trying to develop an artificial [Skill] by stimulating the potential of the body, and people without [Skill] like me were always having terrible experiments like 10,000 volts electric shock, he said, banished from heights and other things" Bruce continued with fear flashing through his eyes

"so.... How did you survive that time?" ask Jin

"Obviously the experiment left me with a very serious injury, but eating monster meat made me recover for a while" Bruce continued

"Fortunately, Master broke through the experimental area and managed to destroy the organization. I was lucky because I was the only one who survived the experiment" Bruce said

"So that's it." said Jin and stopped having conversations with Bruce.

...15 Minutes Later...

Van looked at the two people who were kneeling to him with both cold eyes

Then turned to face the 5 monsters behind the two people

"Lucy, bring Bruce back to [Infinite Castle]" Van's voice echoed through the air as he spoke

Then, there was a snap of a finger and Bruce and his 5 animals disappeared in an instant

"Jin, do your job as usual" Van said

"Well, Master" Jin replied then disappeared from his place after activating [Stealth]

As Van was sitting on the edge of the bonfire, footsteps came from behind

"Va-Van, are you busy?" sounds are heard from behind

"No" Van replied briefly

A student sat down next to Van and stared at the fire

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Bear" said the student

"Van" replied Van

"How do you feel having 2 SSS skills and having a strong background?" ask Bear

"No comment" Van replied calmly as if it had become a normal thing for him

"What is my day that is just a mediocre human being" Bear said

"By the way, which underworld organization are you from?" ask Van

Van's speech made the atmosphere instantly become silent

A few seconds later, Bear suddenly grabbed his pocket and pulled out a short knife

Bear slashed the knife right at Van's neck with killing intent

But Van simply moved his head to the side and managed to dodge the attack

Realizing his attack was unsuccessful, Bear jumped several meters back

"How did you realize it?" ask Bear

"When you broke up [Barrier Master] and Rover by taking them out to eat, and you're asking me to talk right now, it's pretty noticeable that your mentality is very well trained" Van said calmly

"Heh, it seems like you are not simple either, having such a powerful subordinate ckckck. What kind of organization is behind you?" reply Bear with impressed face

As Bear blinks, Bear has noticed that Van has disappeared from his place

Bear suddenly felt a pain in his stomach and made him hold his stomach involuntarily

"Listen to me, I ask and you'll answer, okay?" van said

"Who's the organization behind you?" ask Van

"You think a-" before Bear finished speaking, Van kicked Bear's stomach once more

Due to Van's kick, Bear instantly vomited out a mouthful of blood

Without waiting for Bear to catch his breath, Van once again kicked Bear in the stomach

Not only once, Van kicked Bear's stomach so many times that Bear felt the breath in his lungs almost empty

"Hah, I say, please stop" Bear said as he took a deep breath

"Quick say" Van replied

"The organization [Red Blood]" Bear said stammeringly as he was still breathing

"What kind of organization is that?" asked Van curiously

"I was just an ordinary member, but I heard that we worshiped [Vampire] as their god and often sacrificed human blood" Bear said

"Vampire?" van Mumbles

In addition to humans and monsters, there were other intelligent races such as Vampires, Elves and others

Even so, some monsters can also develop intelligence like [Goblins] that evolve into [Hobgoblins] and acquire intelligence

Because humans evolved to survive, monsters and other living things besides humans would also have evolved

"So, where's your base?" ask Van

"I-I don't know, I'm just an organization hunting dog and just taking orders" Bear said in fear

"Tch" muttered Van with a cold face

Van then activates [Decay] and Bear's body begins to turn to dust

Van turned around and entered his tent

The next day, Van was awakened by the sound of the [Barrier Master] echoing in the forest

"THE BEAR! WHERE'RE YOU?"

"BEAR!!!"

Van then exited the tent and looked at the anxious [Barrier Master]

"Van, have you seen Bear?" ask [Barrier Master]

"No" Van answered briefly and walked over to the river to wash his face

"[Barrier Master]! There's blood" Rover's voice sounded

[Barrier Master] who heard it instantly rushed over and saw blood spots on the ground

"Is this a monster attack?" say one of the students

"No, this is not a monster attack, if we are injured by a monster then there will be fragments of meat from monster attacks or there is monster saliva" said [Barrier Master] while staring at the blood spots on the ground

"So, what is it?" say a scared student

"It looks like Bear was kidnapped, it's human... It seems like this is the work of the people from the underworld organization again" said [Barrier Master]

"The organization of the underworld?!!" said the students with fear even Rover also looks trembling

During their time at the academy, in addition to learning about heroes, students also learn about crime including underworld organizations

In addition to monsters, humans are also terrible creatures

The underworld organization is a misguided organization that commits all heinous acts only for a profit

For example organizations that worship gods of other races, assassin organizations and various other organizations with diverse purposes

"For a while, we will continue this activity, but we will tighten the supervision" said [Barrier Master]
