The Anti-Hero
Chapter 7: Subordinate II

Van who was enjoying his bowl of ramen suddenly piqued after hearing the commotion there

Van sees Typhon, the senior he met this morning being bullied by a group of students

"Hey hey, isn't this the only one without [Skill] in the third year? What disgrace"

"What's the point of you training your physique? You want to rely on physical strength to become a hero?"

Yet Typhon remained silent while facing all insults with a smile

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

Van finished his lunch and walked to the next class

After a few classes, Van's first day at the academy was finally over

Van then walked towards the academy and looked at the afternoon sky

Van with a plan in mind immediately tried to find Alice's whereabouts

After a few seconds, Van learned of Alice's location in the forest while training her newly acquired [Telekinesis] powers

Van then sends a message to Alice via telepathy

Alice who was training in the forest suddenly got a strange feeling in her brain and heard a voice

...[.Alice, bring me a B-level monster]...

Van's voice rang out in his mind and Alice subconsciously knelt down without her wish of "Good Master"

Alice stood back up and went deeper into the forest to look for monsters

It's been a night since Alice got Van's blood and became his subordinate

Thanks to that, Alice progressed very quickly

Now He does not even need to eat or sleep and his talent is so frightening that it can even be said that He is immortal because all his wounds will heal in an instant

Alice, who was walking through the forest, finally met a 10-meter rhinoceros monster with a 3-meter black horn

"Yet, B-level monsters [Dark Horn Rhino]" Alice muttered

Alice unhesitatingly activated [Telekinesis] and lifted the rhinoceros into the air hundreds of meters high

Alice then unleashed the power of [Telekinesis] and the giant rhinoceros fell

The giant rhinoceros hit the ground with its head landing first

Thanks to that, the giant rhino immediately fell unconscious and Alice lifted the rhino into the air

...[.Report Master! Your orders have been fulfilled]...

...[.Nice work, Alice]...

Alice takes the giant rhino into the air towards city #1

By passing through the underground sewer, Alice managed to enter city #1 and reach the academy

Alice leaves the giant rhinoceros in the waterway and goes to meet Van in the dormitory

After walking while evading surveillance, Alice managed to arrive in front of Van's room

The door then opened and Alice entered the room without hesitation

Arriving in the room, Alice kneels to Van "Greetings Master"

"Taking Typhon down the drain, I think you already know who Typhon is because my blood is in you" Van said without asking where the giant rhino was because he had seen it through Alice's memory

"Good Master" said Alice and exited Van's room

While Van was currently wearing his [Darkness] style clothes "It was time for [Dark Shadow] to echo in the world"

As for the current Typhon, it was outside the city after coming out quietly

Typhon trained hard with his physique by hitting a very hard tree

"988, 989, 990, 991" Typhon said, hitting a tree

*Grhhh

Typhon who heard a growling sound immediately turned around and saw a wounded 10-meter-long rhinoceros staring at him

Without waiting for Typhon to wake up, [Black Horn Rhino] rushed towards Typhon

Typhon instantly dodged to the side while [Black Horn Rhino] hit the tree that Typhon had struck before

As a result, the tree collapsed and Typhon who saw it was stunned "Very strong"

[Dark Horn Rhino] once again rushed towards Typhon with killing intent

Typhon panicked and exerted his ability to think

Typhon then took a breath and put on a fighting posture

As Typhon and [Black Horn Rhino]'s distance drew closer, Typhon grabbed the rhino horn and held it with all his might

Thanks to this, the rhino eventually slowed down slowly

[Black Horn Rhino] who realized he was slowing down once again added to his speed

The unprepared Typhon was immediately pierced by a rhino horn and thrown several meters away

Typhon held onto his stomach which had a scratch wound and sighed "Fortunately only a light wound"

As for [Black Horn Rhino] directly rushing towards Typhon once again

Typhon tried to dodge but unfortunately he suddenly stepped on a rock

Typhon immediately slipped and fortunately the rhino horn only pierced Typhon's left abdomen and not his heart

Typhon jumped away while holding his hollow stomach and bloodied hands

Typhon who realized he was on the verge of dying instantly grabbed the rhino horn

Typhon moved all his strength to pull out the rhino horn

Due to Alice's previous attack, the rhino horn weakened as the previous giant rhino fell out of the air with its face landing first

Typhon finally managed to burrow the rhino horn and stab the horn into the rhino's head

But when Typhon stabbed the rhino, there were only sparks

"The dial is hard" Typhon murmured

Typhon once again swung the rhino horn to the left eye

Eventually the horn managed to pierce through the rhino's head and Typhon lost all his strength

Typhon fell to his knees while looking at the left part of his hollow stomach

While on the brink of death, Typhon heard the sound of footsteps stepping on dry leaves

Typhon raised his head and looked at the familiar figure of "Van?"

Typhon looked at Van in front of him seriously "You are completely different from your Academy self"

"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment" Van said

"So what do you want? Killing me to end my suffering?" ask Typhon

"I'm just giving you an offer, I'm giving you a second chance. If you refuse, then you will die as a hero... If you accept, then you will live longer and only see yourself as a criminal" Van said

"Heh do I look like a good person who wants to die this fast? I still want to live" Typhon said

"So" said Van and put his finger on Typhon's forehead

Van's blood then absorbs into Typhon's body

Typhon suddenly felt a sense of warmth all over his body and the wounds on his body began to heal in an instant

Typhon also felt a strange power in his body that felt unfamiliar yet familiar and comfortable

...[.Subordinate #2 - Typhon - Boost]...

[Boost]: Skill that can increase the user's strength at will

"Typhon, from now on forget your identity, from now on you are part of [Dark Shadow]" Van said

"Good Master" Typhon said on his knees involuntarily
