The Anti-Hero
Chapter 25: Psychologist

A week has passed since the incident at City Mall #1

The incident was named [White Tiger Incident] by the local government

Even so, many things were hidden to the public, such as, the appearance of the Devil and the emergence of the leader of [Darkness] the leader of [Dark Shadow]

This was done so as not to cause concern to the public

And also, Van's father was also dizzy because he had to spend more money for the construction of a shopping center

As for one of the perpetrators involved, Van, was walking in the Academy park under the gazes of admiration, envy, and hatred of the Academy students

While walking, Van sees a student reading a book without a cover and sitting on a park bench

While staring at the student, Ace came up with his [Light Speed] skill

Ace arrived next to Van and swung his right leg into Van's face

However, Van only shifted a step to the side and managed to dodge Ace's attack

Van just lightly kicked Ace's left foot

As a result, Ace lost his balance and fell

"Aww" Ace murmured as he felt pain in his back

while standing, Ace cleaned up the dust stuck to his uniform

"Hey, what did you notice?" said Ace while looking at Van looking

"Hmmm that kid?" said Ace while astonished

"You know him?" ask Van

"Yes, I heard it from the gossip" Ace replied

"What rumors?" ask Van again

"Name Luke. He is one of the students in our class who has no skills. However, it has an amazing psychological. He managed to defeat a student with an S rank skill "Ace replied

Van nodded and continued walking towards the Academy class, followed by Ace following him

"Are you interested in him? It's unusual for you to be interested in something" said as you walked after Van

Van just silently walked over and ignored the noisy Ace

Academy Canteen

Van arrived at the cafeteria to take lunch

Although he no longer needed food because of the [Physical] he got when [Shinigami] became his subordinate

However, Van still did it to keep his image

As Van was walking with lunch in his hand, he saw no students sitting next to Luke

Van then takes the initiative of walking towards him and sitting at the same dining table as Luke

Van's action led to much discussion among the Academy's students

But realizing that what they were gossiping about was Van, they immediately stopped gossiping and continued to eat their lunch

Luke who was eating while reading a book without a cover suddenly felt a movement in front of him

He lifted his head and saw the most popular, strong, handsome, cold, and 1001 excess students sitting at the same dining table as him

However, there was no change in the look of the eyes, expression, hand movements, foot movements and more, which signified that Luke's psychological qualities were excellent

"What are you doing?" ask Luke

"What to ask? I was in the cafeteria, bringing lunch, and sitting at the dinner table. Is it less clear that I want to eat?" return the Van calmly

"So" said Luke calmly and continued reading the book

"Reading a dark psychology book, it seems like the rumors are true" Van said in a low voice that only Luke could hear

Hearing Van's words, Luke's eyes showed a startled look and immediately closed the coverless book he was reading

Spotlight surprised eyes Luke immediately disappeared and returned to calm as before

However, Luke kept staring firmly at Van for a dozen minutes

"Why read a book like that? Whatdoyouwd? What are you gonna do?" van says and eats the last mouthful of his food

"If you want to know more, come to the barn at night" said Van and stood up with an empty plate from his lunch

Luke stared at Van's departure with his calm eyes, but in his mind had been filled with all sorts of analysis

...----------------...

Night

The van sitting inside the warehouse suddenly felt a movement

"Finally you have arrived" Van said as he stared at one corner of the room

"Tell me why you're approaching me" Luke's voice rang out in a corner of the room shrouded in the darkness of night

"I'm only interested in you, someone without skill is still trying hard to fight against this cruel world. What reason?" answer Van

As Van was speaking, a fruit knife flew towards him

Thanks to the [Physical] skill, Van leather is one of the hardest materials in the world

When the fruit knife hit Van's skin, the fruit knife was immediately shattered into pieces

Van remained unmoved and saw Luke still circling around in the barn throwing dozens of fruit knives

However, his efforts failed and all the fruit knives were destroyed when they hit Van's skin

"Just for nothing, someone without skill would never be able to defeat someone with skill. Although it can, it is just luck. That was the law of the world today" Van's voice echoed in the Academy's warehouse

A moment later, Luke appears in front of Van with a fruit knife in his hand

Luke ran as fast as he could and swung the fruit knife towards Van's neck

As he got closer, Luke suddenly felt a crisis in his heart

On Van's side, Van activates [Telekinesis] when he sees Luke getting closer

When [Telekinesis] was active, Luke suddenly stopped moving like a statue

Luke's face was filled with shock and looked at Van in disbelief

At one time, Van had 2 skills, namely [Decay] and [Immortality] which were impressive enough to have 2 skills

But the skill that Van used on him was not related to the two skills

That is, Van has 3 skills, or even more

Van then walks towards Luke who is still motionless

"What's wrong? Surprised? Isn't the world unfair to you? Someone can still have 2 skills or more, while you do not have any skills" said Van

Hearing Van's words, Luke gritted his teeth

Van's figure was then shrouded in darkness

Luke is confused by what happened

As the black fog disappears, Luke sees Van's other figure, [Darkness] the leader of [Dark Shadow] and the most wanted criminal

Luke could not maintain his psychological ability to remain calm and trembled in fear upon seeing the figure before him

[Darkness] grabbed a sword he took from [Infinite Castle] and placed it around Luke's neck

"Luke, tell me what you want! Fight this world and join the [Dark Shadow]....

Or the...

It's dead....."

Hearing [Darkness] say, Luke was silent for a few minutes

Luke rounded his resolve and looked at the [Darkness] in front of him firmly

"I chose to join" Luke said firmly

[Darkness] nodded and injured himself

Then put his blood on Luke's forehead
