I’m Not The Hero
Chapter 51- Metal Barrel

Chapter 51- Metal Barrel

I had walked out of the hospital room, Lucy alone was waiting for me on the chairs

“You’re awake Neila”?

She was injured, she had a large swelling on her cheek

And her eyelashes were wet

“You look less well than I do? You should go get some medicine, so who were the ones that did this”?

“Neila, no one did anything to me”. She was shaking

“You’re in a hospital, go get some medicine”.

“Neila, it’s fine, I don’t need any”.

I gave her an ice pack from a nearby fridge

I’ll find the person who did it myself

Demons are widely hated by the people, anyone who resembles them would of course get bullied but I wonder why she didn’t retaliate

Why didn’t she do anything?

School closed for an entire month after the incident, they had to do repairs to their buildings on the campus

I was out with Jaclyn as she had some important business to attend to, she had asked of me to accompany her

She simply sent me her location but someone had approached me

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

A random man had came from the dark alleyway

He had a gray shirt with jeans on

Goldish brown hair with a toned jawline

“Hi, you must be Neila, name’s Michael Jean, I’m half Japanese”.

He was looking at me behind his glasses smiling at me

“I’m gonna beat the shit out of you”.

In a split second, I put a small hole in his stomach

“You really aren’t pulling your punches”.

His injury had healed within an instant

It seemed he had teleported to another place, 5 foot away from where he originally was

“Who the hell are you”.

He looked at me from behind his glasses

“Didn’t I tell you ? I’m Michael”.

He had this large smile on his face that was way too uncomfortable, he had so much confidence he would win against me

Since he has a regenerative ability, the only counters to this ability are instant decimation or knocking him out with blunt punches

Killing is a last resort, I shouldn’t go too far for just a criminal

“I’m asking you what your objective is”.

“I’m here to kill you, didn’t you hear me”?

His eyes were filled with a violent urge

“Why would you want to do that? What do you gain from my death”?

“You’re too close to Jaclyn, you’re about to go on a date aren’t you”?

“What? No? She’s a fr-“.

What really do I call her? I wouldn’t really call her my friend

“We’re acquaintances”.

“You’re lying, you were thinking for quite some time”.

This incel is stalking her, I honestly couldn’t care less, I just want him to go away from me

He was launched towards the wall, bleeding with his legs were slightly twisted

There was no way he would get back up, he was unconscious and his eyes were plain white, his eyes rolling into the back of his head

His ability seems like it’s only good for healing him, I wonder what would happen if I just simply walk off

I had tried to walk away from the dark alley but he had pursued me, I felt something cold behind my head as my skin and flesh tore apart

Time was stopped

How did he manage to get a gun in this country? Some random crook got a gun?

Time had flown again

He woke back up, uninjured and undamaged

He was standing up far away from the position he originally was

All I could assume was that his ability had something to do with time manipulation to some extent

“You think that’ll put me down”!?

His face was shifted into a smile

“I’m not gonna go down until you stay away from Jaclyn”.

He pointed the gun towards me

I could see down the barrel, a metal bullet
