Chapter 15: The roommates

[Alysha's pov]

After finally getting released from the professors who made me promise to never kill a single student (they tried to say 'harm' but I kept repeating 'kill') I got back to the waiting line. Apparently I'm going to have a unique magic teacher along with the hero and two other students. God damn it, I ended up in the same class as the hero...

As I grumble internally about my misfortunes, the three idiots from before approach me. I had put my hood back up so nobody would know. One of them approaches me from behind and while the two of them behind him were giggling, he put something in my robe. I shot my tail at it and brought it to the front to inspect what it was. It ended up being a cochroach. Real funny guys. 

I turn around and face the giggling group, who noticing my stare and my lack of reaction look at me a bit confused. Smirking from ear to ear, I slowly take off my robe to reveal myself in one of my nicer dresses. 

Oh boy, I think one of them fainted while the other two looked confused and the one who threw a cochroach at me says "Hah! So you're a demon girl! I knew it! You don't deserve to be here!" He shouts but I smirk even more. Nobody was around here as everyone was up testing right now, so I slowly say "Hey kiddo~ Have you ever heard not to anger bad people~? It'd be best to check who you bully you know~ And demons usually don't like humans..." I trail off while walking towards him. I then disappear from his view and reappear next to him and say in his ear with my platinum adventurer card in hand "Especially SS-rank demons..." I say and he falls back on his butt from the scare, and then he tries to crawl away from me. The other guy was already backing off, so I catch both of them by their legs with my tails and lift them up to my point of view

"Oh? Could it be two noble brats actually don't know who I am? That's really good, I get to teach it to you~!" I say and shove the cockroach down the kid's throat. The other one was completely drained of blood and heavily struggling to get off, which wasn't quite a success. 

The kid starts chocking a bit, So i shove my hand down his throat and take out the cochroach, then shove it down the other kid's throat. Rinse and repeat a couple times and they had fainted. I tie them up naked and hang them by their feet on a tree's branch. Heh, idiots.

Feeling satisfied, I go back towards the group with my hood back on, planning on revealing myself when suddently I see someone running over. Looking closely, it seemed like it was... the god damn 'Hero'... And he was running towards me... With hands in the... Air?

"Forgive me mam! Forgive me! I'll never do that again! He shouts and when he sees me he swiftly hides behind me, with me still shocked to a standstill at his idiocracy. There was a half-naked, extremely muscular woman chasing after him. 

"YOU COME BACK HERE PERVERT! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET! oh, hello! How're you doing! Can I please have the kid hiding behind you?" She first shouts at him while running, then stopped and greeted me normally. Is this world crazy or is the 'Hero' crazy?

He wispers from behind me while trembling "R-r-remember our favor! Yes! The favor! I use it now! Shield me from this woman!" Face, meet palm. Palm, meet face.

I sigh and say "Just what did you do...?" The woman looks a bit suprised at first. I get it, these clothes hide all of my female charms (not that I have any), but at least my voice is clearly that of a girl.

"I accidentally "accidentally?? YOU PERVERT!" opened the women's bathroom and she was there naked. Not my fault!" I first slap him on the face, leaving an angry red hand, then turn to the woman and say "Sorry ms, I'll punish him for you." She looks a bit confused, then nods and walks away. 

I turn to see a tearing 'Hero'. I then say in a sweet voice "Hey Pervert, How about we have some fun~" I say in a cold-hearted voice. He starts sweating and tries to run away, but I grab him by the leg and start repeatedly smashing him into the ground while laughing. After 5 minutes of smashing, I stop and nod satisfied. This isn't even the first time I did it, and definetly not the longest. There was one time he somehow sneaked up on me taking a bath on pond, and I somehow only noticed him when I smelled blood (from his nose). Needless to say, the night was veeeery~ long that day. 

I pick the 'Hero' up and start walking towards our soon-to-be classroom. I think the Pervert has the 'Hero' magic, which means he can learn all kinds of normal magic. This technically is a special magic, so he somehow gets to stay in the same classroom as me. No idea how this makes sense, but according to the school it does. Fucking rules, they're only meant to be broken, not enforced!

After dragging him towards our little building, where we supposedly will live for the next couple of years or so, I stop at the entrance and knock on the door a couple times.

After a while, I hear rushed footsteps and the door opens. A pretty boy of about 16 or so stands in front of it, he looks like the exact opposite of the Pervert. He has blonde hair, is rather tall and is very much well-toned. Quite the feast for the eyes, but I'm not a pervert and simply say "Hello. I'm going to be your schoolmate for the next couple years. This Pervert here is the 'Hero'. Pervert, greet the idiot in front of me." I say and the idiot flinches at being called idiot. Earn your non-idiot title, idiot. 

The hero jumps up as if nothing ever happened and says "Ah, Yes! Hello! I'm the summoned hero Masaki. A pleasure to meet you." He says and the other guy's eyes were wide open and he says "Ah, Yes! H-h-hello! My name is Robert, I always admired the heroes! It's a pleasure to meet you!" He says with a bow. Masaki just waves his hand and says "Eh, don't worry about it. I heard there were four of us, where's the other person?" 

The idiot nods and tells us to come inside. I follow them both from behind, checking out the little house. It's quite nice, but it won't remain so for long with me in it. After all, I still enjoy my daily torturing of random people I kidnap.

After a while, we enter a living room and inside there was a tall woman. I think she's an elf judging by those ears of hers... Not shure though. 

"Oh, hi there! You two must be the other two roommates! My name is Sahra, I'm a half elf and my unique magic is Plant magic." Oh? A halfling? It'll be fun to tease her about it...

The Pervert says "Ah hello! I'm the 'Hero' Masaki. It's a pleasure to be in the company of such a beutiful woman!" She blushes a bit at that, but I slap the Pervert in the face and say "Pervert, Do your things later. For now, my turn." 

He goes and sulks into a corner while crying, both Sahra and Robert look quite shocked at what I did. I simply remove my robe and throw it at the couch. They look at me a bit confused, I guess they haven't heard of me.

"For proper introduction, That Perverted Pedophile is indeed the 'Hero'. He's a retarded Pervert with no future in romance.  As for me, My name is Alysha Bloodseeker. SS-rank adventurer. People call me 'Bloody Cat'. My favourite sport is terrorizing bandits and my favourite activity is torturing bandits." I say and they both visibly pale a bit. Heh, fear me, suckers!

Robert asks with a shaking voice "Y-y-your the 'Bloody Cat'? The cat who terrorised entire towns? The one the assassin's guild has been hunting nonstop for the past months?" I simply nod, but say "I don't remember terrorizing towns though. That's an exxageration. I simply killed some perverts or bandits in there. Ah, and yes! I personally met the assassin's guild headmaster. He was quite the pleasant guy. Too bad they had to replace him as his body was never found again after meeting me..." I trail off with a smirk at the end. I quickly add "Oh, and if you want to touch my tails you'll have to at least treat me to some nice meat and you'll have to slap the Pervert in the face. Twice." I nod to myself at the end and run off saying "Oh, the tree outside of the house is mine! Touch it and you're dead!". I then climb up said tree and settle onto one of the higher branches, where I spend the next two hours combing my hair and tails. 

[Robert's Pov]

I was born a commoner, and had the lucky talent of not only having a very good mana pool, but also unique magic. Although it's in the lower tiers of magic, It's still quite good. I succeded in passing the tests and checks. My unique magic is 'Magnetism'. I'm not yet quite sure what it does, but it sounds good. The teachers said it was in the lower tiers as I said, but I think it should be higher then that.

While I was chatting with my half-elf roommate, I hear a knocking on the door. I go to open it to find a black-haired man and another person who's completely covered in black robes and has a hood on. After introductions, I find that the black-haired man is actually the 'Hero'! The other guy has a very feminine voice, but I can't yet tell who he is. 

We did introductions, and learned that the robed person was actually the extremely famous 'Bloody Cat'. It's said that she's a demon who enjoys torturing innocent people, and is the bane of all bandits in existance. She cleared at least 20 groups by herself and is considered SSS-rank, although her rank is only SS-rank. She said a bunch of scary things, then said that to allow her tails we have to give her meat and slap the hero twice. I might actually try if the 'Hero' let's me do such an act! After all, they look really soft...

She shouts that the tree outside, which was grown by Sahra, is hers and that she'll kill us if we touch it, which based on the rumors I don't dare try. They say that she would sometimes arrive at a city holding bandits in a leash and ordering them like dogs. She would then cut their heads off, give them to the guild, and swiftly run away before the guards arrive. 

I think having her as a roommate is even more shocking then having the 'Hero' as a rommate. I wouldn't be suprised if her unique magic would be 'Mass Destruction', 'Death', 'Apocalypse' or something along those lines. Her red eyes make her look quite scary too... *shivers*

Me and Sahra talk a bit with the hero, and I can see why the cat calls him Pervert. He was literally staring at Sahra for the whole time, who at first blushed a little, then got annoyed, and then got straight up angry. He never stopped staring though, which I found quite daring. I wonder if he does that to the cat too? Are the 'Hero' and one of the most notorious demons actually friends? That's... New.

After a while, we hear a knocking on the door. We all go to open, and we find a man in perhaps his 40s standing in front of us. He greets us and says "Hello kids. My name is Professor Mizro, and I'll be your teacher in regards to unique magic. We'll talk about that later though. For now, I'll be living here from now on due to your special cases. Let's go inside, shall we?" He says and we all nod. We go to the living room and all sit down on the couches. We introduce ourselves, he already knew about the 'Hero' being here though. We don't tell him anything about that cat though, I kinda wanted to see what he'd say. 

At one point he frowns a bit and says "Isn't your fourth roommate a bit late? Where is he? I haven't gotten any information on him..." We look at each other and silently agree to let him figure out our little troublemaker himself. Sahra says "He suddently said that the tree outside is his, so he should be there." He frowns a bit and says "Well, let's all go meet him then." We follow him through the backdoor and arrive at the tree. It's at least 30 meters tall, Sahra grew it with her plant magic in an hour. It was quite amazing...

The professor screams "Hello? Anyone there?" We wait for a bit, and then a torrent of apples somehow falls down and hits us all in the heads. We run back towards the house cursing and screaming in pain. Where did she even find all of those apples???

After we reach the safety of the house, the professor rubs his head and says "... Ok, I guess he didn't want to be disturbed?" And a voice reaches us "Indeed I would've preferred you let me rest in peace. I was sleeping quite nicely you know?" We turn around and she somehow already was in the house. i don't know how or when she got there though...

The professor had his mouth hanging open. He then slowly said while backing away in a fighting stance "What are you doing here, 'Bloody Cat'? Are bandits not enough?" She laughs at that remark and her tails grab something, which turned out to be a kid. "Well, I'm here as a student and you'll be my teacher. Don't worry, I swore to never kill a student unless they touch my tails without my consent. Also, My daily ration of bandits is already in my room upstairs. I already tied them up and they're just waiting for me to play with them a bit, you know? Cat and mouse games?" She giggles at her poor attempt of making a funny joke, and when she sees we're not amused, she pouts and turns away saying "You're no fun at all..."

She then let's go of the kid in her tail and jumps up and climbs the house all the way to the roof, where we don't see her anymore. Only then does the professor relax a bit, and check on the kid. We asked him what's wrong but he only said things like "Bandits... Bandits... Blood...". 

After a bit of prodding and calming him down, it turns out he was kidnapped by bandits, and they were going to sell him but then someone screamed "The Cat is here! Run away!" and immediately every bandit abandoned every sane notion and began to flee, which is when he heard a laughing voice and was dragged around for twenty minutes without ever managing to see the one who dragged him. 

After that, we all went to sleep in our rooms, and the professor said that we'd begin training the next morning. It was truly a sleepless night, with all the screams resounding through the house and a creepy laugher following them...
