CHAPTER 11
I James Moriarty am now walking the busy streets of campus. Everywhere I look I find different kinds booths, like a both for playing games or booths specialized for knitting or cooking. But the booth I’m looking for is the one that sells different kinds of milk shake.
“4 different kinds of milk shake huh? I wonder what they taste like.”
“You really love any food that has milk in it, don’t you James?”
The woman right next to me is my class advisor Reshulla Morrigan who is eating one roll of shawarma, I’m eating 3 shawarmas myself.
Oh right, the reason why Robin isn’t with us is because she is helping Mr. Douf and Abby pinpoint where the golems really are created. After all we only found out that they came from the mountain behind one of the 3rd year buildings.
So robin and I made a promise that we would meet up and check out all the booths together.
As I continue to walk the streets, I once again caught the eye of many; correction Reshulla caught the eyes of many. I couldn’t really blame her though, she is only in her 20s yet she’s already a professor and a beauty to boot.
“Hmm? What’s this James? Did you suddenly have the urge to walk while holding hand with our finger intertwined?”
No, not really. I didn’t have that urge to begin with.
“Come on, I’m ready anytime you are.”
Stop making that “Come and hug me!” gesture, or more like, why did your “Holding hands” change into hugging?
Because of Reshulla more and more eyes stared at us. The girls are giving me questioning looks while the guys are making a jealous one.
I don’t want to cause any trouble so I quicken my pace and walked faster.
“Ah, James wait up, there are too many people, so can’t…Mmm…kyaa!?”
I didn’t mean to leave her, I just thought she could keep up, but suddenly heard her and so I quickly went back to see her.
“Reshulla? Are you ok? You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”
“Yeah, don’t worry James, I’m fine. Just some prick didn’t know how to move his ass.”
“That’s good to hear, grab on.”
I guess I shouldn’t walk too fast; I don’t want her to trip like that again. She then grabbed on to my arm and I slowly pulled her up. But just to make sure…
“You’re sure you didn’t hurt yourself? No sprain or anything?”
“Sheesh, I never would have pegged you to be such a worrier.”
Well it is partly my fault that you trip so I can’t really just ignore her.
“Hehe…hmm…”
“Whoa!? What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Can’t you tell?”
Of course I could tell you’re linking you arms with mine! I don’t think a professor should be acting like that her in campus, especially if the 99% of the student body is present!
“James scent is still the same, just like last night.”
Reshulla won’t let go and now she starts to mumble something about last night…hmm? Last…night...eh!!! Why is she remembering that now!?
Damn it! Now I can’t take it out of my head! All those embarrassing line I said to her! Please, if anyone out there can hear me! Take these embarrassing memories away!
“Ah! Could it be?”
Reshulla snuggled onto my arms for a few minutes and stared at me in about the same time as when she was snuggling me. But what does she mean by “Could it be?”……might as well ask. *Gulp*
“Could it be………what?”
“Could it be you’re recalling what happen last night between the two of us?”
““”””EHHHHHH!!!!!!”””””
That wasn’t me, I was about to shout the same thing, but I was over taken by the students around me. Crap! Don’t tell me they heard that!?
“That’s it! I’ve have had it, why does Ms. Morrigan have to hang out with a low-life like him!?”
I guess they did hear her, damn how am I supposed to get away from this on?
“Hey you, first year! Stop clinging onto Ms. Morrigan’s arms like you his boyfriend or something!”
What is up with this guy? It’s not like I’m the one who wanted to do this. Huh? Wait, I think I’ve seen this guy before…oh right, it’s the guy who tried to give Reshulla those roses.
“Don’t you dare ignore me first year! I bet you’ve just forced her to do this to, so get away from her.”
“*Sigh* Alright “Roses”, why don’t you stop falsely accusing me for something I clearly didn’t do, but if you still can’t see that I didn’t force her then stop bathing with your cologne because I think their starting to burn your eyes and most of all, it hurts my nose just standing close to you.”
I guess this guy never thought that a first year would talk back, so he just has this agape face and stood motionless. But minutes later his face started to turn red.
“Y…You got a lot of nerve! To insult me like that in front of my school mates and most of all in front of Ms. Morrigan!”
I don’t think you should worry about that “Roses” because…
“Heheh I don’t who it was, but that person just called you my boyfriend.”
As always Reshulla ignored the very existence of “Roses”, I mean the guy who just said that is right in front of us, but it would seem like she could only hear the things she wants to hear. Reshulla, your ability to ignore people never cease to amaze me.
“I won’t let a low-life like you insult me. I challenge you to a duel!”
Huh!? Are we going to play battle cards or something? That was the first time I heard someone say that to me.
“I don’t really see why we have to.”
“Heh, I knew this was going to happen, that is why I’ve made plans.”
Plans, is this guy serious?
“Sorry, but I got places to go, so if you’ll excuse me in need to go.”
“I see, so you’ll ignore the fact that I know of a booth that sales the “6CP”.
The “6CP”? What is that? I have no idea what that is and most of all I don’t want to cause trouble for others, so I’ll just leave him alone.
“Look, I already said that I have somewhere to go, so…”
“6CP stands for 6 Cheese Pizza.”
Huh? What did this guy just say? 6 Cheese Pizza?
“Let me guess, a pizza with extra layer of cheese right?”
“Wrong, the pizza itself has six different kinds of cheeses.”
“………!?”
“You see this ticket? Only a chosen few can obtain this. But it’s not an ordinary ticket; behind it is a map, a map where the secret booth is being held.”
Is this guy provoking me? Ha! Like hell I’m going to get trapped by that. Because…
“I accept you challenge!!”
I deliberately dive in to it!
The booth that is standing in front of us is a “Shooting Booth” made by the “Air Gun Society”; you use the air guns to hit the target. These things are found in every festival or game center, so it’s pretty simple.
But he gave a few conditions.
There are 10 targets and the one who hits more is the winner. But the player can only shoot one shot per turn.
“Sorry for side tracking, Reshulla.”
“Don’t worry about it, but why are we doing this again?”
“For the rumored “6CP”, I need that ticket to have one.”
On our way here, I asked Reshulla about the ticket and how is it special. Usually a student or a guest can us regular money, but the only way to get the best product in a specific booth is by giving this ticket. A club who obtains this ticket will get financial help from the student council for a month.
No wonder this ticket is special, but what I’m aiming for right now is not the ticket, but the thing this can get me.
“Since I was the one who challenged you, you can have the first shot. But I must warn you, I have used the real thing to hunt animals with Daddy.”
Pfff…did this guy just called his father “Daddy”? Though I know that there are people out calls their father daddy, but how this guy says it sounded so girly and wimpy. Forget the “Roses” nickname I gave him, I might as well call this guy
“Daisy”.
“I’m great full for letting me go first, but are you sure?”
“Hahaha, go right ahead! We all know what the outcome will be.”
Despite what I called him, he seems to be famous. Because the students that are surrounding us keeps talking about how I would lose.
The shoot off or whatever you call it is about to begin and the booth attendants then handed me a rifle.
Hmm…this air gun is a “Benjamin Trail NP XL Air Rifle”, huh. They have good taste. The distance is about 70 to 80 meters and the air pressure is considerably strong.
Isn’t this too easy?
Oh well, the easier it is, the faster I can get those tickets so I shouldn’t complain.
“Hey James, you should hurry it up. We might miss Robin; she did say she will be joining us after helping Douf.”
That’s right, I almost forgot. I was too preoccupied with the 6CP and nearly forgot about that. But…
“Don’t worry, I’ll end this quick.”
After hearing my words, not only did “Daisy” smirk, but all the other audience did to.
I stood at the pedestal took my stance.
That’s right, keep laughing. Because after this, I’ll thoroughly enjoy your shocked look while I take that ticket away from your hands.
*Bang!*
One shoot was fired…
*Ting*
One target down.
*Ting*
And another…
*Ting*
And another…
*Ting*
And another went down and continued to do so until 2 paint canisters are left standing.
“………………………..!!?”
Not only Daisy but even the gallery has their mouth wide open. See? I told you I’ll be enjoying your shocked look and I got the bystanders as an extra.
“James, you got an evil grin on your face.”
Huh? Really? I must have smiled in reflex.
“I knew it; James has a Sadistic side in him. Just like last night in my office. I remember that time when you said “Come
one Reshulla, tell me where it feels good.” and kept teasing me.”
“Nooo! Stop! Don’t remind me!”
I despise myself for saying those Porn Video lines.
But moping around is going to have to wait, because I need to exchange that ticket for the 6CP. Yes, as long as I can get the 6CP, everything is going to be alright.
“I’ll be taking that ticket now.”
“Huh?...oh…yea…sure…here you go…”
So lifeless, is he really that depressed from losing? Oh well, I got the ticket might as well buy a few thing while I’m headed there.
“Wait! You might be good when it comes to air guns, but what about a real sport like baseball!”
Where the hell did guy pop out from? I don’t know what his deal is, but I don’t have time for this.
“Sorry, but I need to go…”
“I have the same ticket and I know of a location where they sell the best Cream Cheese Carbonara! So accept my challenge and…”
“You’re on!”
Hehehe, I’ll make you regret challenging me and take that ticket along with your face full of despair.
“James, you’re making an evil grin again.”
30 minutes has passed and I’m walking to the meeting spot where Robin and I promised to meet.
And of course, what I’m holding in my hands are my spoils of war.
After the baseball match I was challenge one after another, thus making me win 6/6, a perfect victory.
“Wow, this stuff is good. No wonder their exclusive,”
The one I’m sharing my spoils with is Reshulla, my class advisor.
The both of us are making our way to the gymnasium, the meeting spot where I promised Robin.
“Here you go James, say “Ahh” for me.”
“Wha!?”
What is this woman doing!? You know I can’t do the “say ahh” thing that couples do!
But then again, I guess she does have a valid reason for feeding me like this, I have my hands full after all.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
“…………”
Is she seriously waiting for me eat it!?
“Ah! It’s starting to melt.”
What!? Such a waste! I can’t let such a deluxe product get wasted!
“Hamph……”
Ah…I reacted on impulse and I just ate it.
“……………”
“……………”
Well this is embarrassing, but to bad this embarrassment is only one sided. Reshulla started to giggle while having a child like smile. I can’t deny it’s cute though.
We eventually made it in front the gym entrance; though I had to endure the painful stares of the male populace of campus while I’m having Reshulla feed me. I didn’t have any other choice; I don’t want to waste good food.
“So all we have to do is wait for Robin to finish her job with Douf and Abby, right?”
“That’s the idea, but…”
We can’t enter. For some reason the gym is packed with people and shouts echoes trough out the building.
Is there some kind of special event happening inside?
But just like I said, this place is packed. Not until Reeshulla came along.
“Get the hell out of the way you brats! If you don’t, I’ll make it as if you can never graduate!”
Eh! She can do that!? Does she really have that kind of authority!?
The students in front of her frantically moved away from her and again just like the time I looked for my student number last month, I experienced the red sea dividing, thus giving us the room to get to the front row.
“Huh? What’s this? Is it a fight?”
Reshulla, who is in front of me, said something about a fight. I got curious and look at the place she was referring to.
“Do you see that ladies and gentlemen!? This man joins the Karate Club in his first year, yet he was able to beat 4 people easily!”
I see, so it was a demonstration. So they can promote their club.
Hmm? I think I’ve seen their announcer before………where have I………
Ah! Now I remember her! She was the one who tried to trick me from joining some sketchy club! So these are the ones that hired her.
While I’m at it, there seems to be another familiar face that’s standing in the matted floor.
“Gyahaha!! Come one, who’s next to fight me!?”
It’s the guy who tried to punch Robin, the big bulging classmate of mine, its no other than “Tons of Fun” himself.
I know I said this before, but just like I said. I don’t want to cause any trouble so I tried to back away. But I was too late.
I guess the girl who tried to trick me last month was still angry when I didn’t accept her invitation.
She called “Tons of Fun” over and pointed directly at me.
It’s obvious what this two are aiming for, and that is revenge.
I understand why the girl is angry, but why is “Tons of Fun” angry to? I just stopped him from hitting a girl. In n the other hand, that girl can really hold a grudge.
“It’s nice to see you again, Mr. Playboy.”
“I don’t really feel the same though.”
“Aww, well that’s too bad.”
He then raised his hand and swings at me.
*Clank!*
He didn’t hit me though, what he hit is the tray I borrowed at one of the booths so that I could easily carry my food.
The food that I honestly won after being challenged 6 times, are now on the floor, uneatable to anyone.
“Opps, I guess my hands are too tired, I have been wining every match, so my hands must have slipped. Gyahahaha!!!”
“………………”
“You no good human, I’ll burn you to till your very soul disa…huh? James?”
“It’s fine Reshulla.”
I stopped Reshulla before she gets angry and I slowly walked closer to guy who ruined my food.
“Alright you big ape, you got my attention. You wanted a match against me? You got it.”
We then made our way to the matted floor and took different corners. Reshulla and I took the right corner, while Tons of Fun took the left.
Apparently he was able to get supporters and fans when he won the earlier matches and now people started to cheer for his name.
“Take this prick down Binson!”
“Make this Playboy cry!”
“Make him regret for ever getting close to our Ms. Morrigan!”
“Don’t hold back on this chump, Binson!”
So that’s his name. Well, it’s not like it’s going to matter to me anyway, so no point in remembering that.
He slowly walked at the mat while raising both his arms in the air while showing a confident smile.
That smile………I’ll be sure to break it.
“James, as a professor of this academy, all I could say to you is, hurt him slightly. But as for someone close to you, make it hurt.”
“………Reshulla, you do know that both of what you said practically the same. Right?”
“Huh? Really?.........well its fine, just go out there and relief you anger.”
Just like what Reshulla said, I’ll have this guy apologize to all the dairy farmers everywhere. I’ll never forgive him for wasting deluxe products like that.
Right after Reshulla’s…uh…pep talk I made my way to the mat and faced him. I heard a lot of booing for me though.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to half kill you only.”
He then took of his Karate uniform and showed his…muscles.
I’m sure he’s doing this to intimidate me, but what I’m feeling isn’t intimidation. Its disgust.
Sure he has muscles, but they are way too big and seem to look bulging. There even veins popping out.
I wasn’t the only one who thought that though, the whole building went quiet.
“……………”
“What’s the matter? Got scared?”
“No, I just thought that you have a repulsive body to the point of barfing.”
“Wha!? What was that!?”
“Psst…James.”
I looked behind me and found Reshulla, calling for me while making a gesture like a beckoning cat.
“What is it?”
“You should take off your boots, you might suddenly slip.”
Well, the mat does look slippery. Now that I’ve noticed my shirt is also stained. It most likely came from the wasted food
earlier. *sob* all those good food.
“Here Reshulla, and hold on to my shirt to.”
“……Eh?”
*slip*
Alright, now I’m ready.

“………………”
Now then, how do I take him down?
*Click*
*Click*
Should I use…
*Click*
*Click*
*Click*
No, maybe…
*Click*
*Click*
Huh? Am I hearing thing or am I hearing clicking sounds.
*Click*
Whoa!? Why are they taking pictures of me!?
Everywhere I look I see flashes of the student’s cameras flickering.
I don’t get why but for some reason I feel like hiding my body.
“Um…Reshulla? A second thought, I think I’ll have my shirt back……Reshulla?”
“Hah…hah…hehehe *slurp* *gulp* A shirtless James…hah…*Click*.”
“…………………………”
Your one of them!!?
Or more like your even worst. Wipe that spit of your mouth along with the blood flowing out of your nose!!
“Reshulla, give me back my shirt!”
“No way…hah…I’ll be treasuring this moment! *gulp* Now hurry up and give me a sexy pose!”
Mr. Policeman! A pervert! A pervert is here!!
This must be it. This must be the feeling of those animals in television shows being shown while they give birth. Such shame!
“What is going on?”
Huh? That fairy like voice? That must be…
“Ana! It is you! Hurry, I need your help.”
A fairy has come, no more like an angel has come to save me!
“Fueh!?”
Huh? Can’t she hear me? I’ll get a little closer and…
“Ana, can you get me a shirt to…”
*Click*
“…wear…”
Ana?…your one of them to!!?
No one is on my side!? Do any of you have any idea how embarrassing this is!?
“Stop ignoring me, you bastard!”
I was looking at Ana, so bulging ape got a hold of me from behind and threw me.
But I twisted my body, landed on my hands and do a 2 spin which what you call a summersault.
“Sneak attack, huh? Not really surprising coming from you.”
I deliberately provoke him and he quickly charge at me.
He first swings his right arm at me, but I easily dodge it. He then came at me with a left hook and a kick, but it was so slow, I didn’t even need to get serious. Honestly it was so slow, I found it boring.
So I just ended it quickly with a punch in the gut.
“GUHAAA!!?”
*Thud*
He then fell on the mat and stopped moving.
“………………”
Everyone was surprised on what they just seen.
The man they thought to be unbeatable is now lying down, unconscious.
“*Sigh* I guess that’s that.”
“James! Behind you!”
I heard Ana’s shout and as I look behind me 4 men who are wearing a karate uniform is charging at me!
Seriously? These guys still want to continue?
I first took down the one in lead by charging in a crouching position and hit him with my left hook directly on the gut once again, but then I continue while doing one spin and hit the 2nd man in the chin with a right hook.
With the force of the right hook I made I did another spin while jumping, hitting the 3rd man with a spin kick.
And finally, I knocked out the last one with a right straight punch on the face as soon as I land after the spin kick.
*Thud*
All 4 men landed in the same time.
I sure hope that’s the end of it.
“Did you just see that?”
“This guys a freak.”
“That was scary, he didn’t even sweat.”
“This guy I dangerous, we better clear out of his way.”
Eh? Wait…I’m the bad guy!? How did that happen?
He was the one that started it, him along with that woman over there.
“Kyaaa! I’m sorry, I…I won’t do that again! I promise! So…so please, don’t hurt me! *Sob* please…”
What is she crying for? I was only defending myself.
“Don’t make girl cry! You creep!”
“Leave her alone!”
“Get out of here! You freak!”
“Yeah, get out!”
“”””GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!! GT OU!!!””””
*sigh* Might as well do what they say. I would just make things worse if I stay any longer.
“James, please wait for me.”
“Stinking humans.”
I’m finally out of the gym building, while enduring the painful stares of the students.
“James, are you alright.”
“Don’t worry Ana, I’m fine.”
“Don’t let them get to you, James. They just don’t understand what really happened.”
“Yeah…thanks.”
I might be hated by most of them, but at least I still have Reshulla, Ana and...
“James!!!”
I heard my name being called and found Robin running towards us.
She seems to be in a panic, did she find out something with Mr. Douf and Abby?
“Robin, what’s wrong?”
“Hah…Mr. Douf he…”
“Douf? What’s wrong? What happened to him?”
Robin slowly retains her composure and finally said what she wanted to say.
“Abby and I finally pinpointed the location, so Mr. Douf and a few security officers went behind the 3rd year building. But all of a sudden they disappeared one by one.”
That could only mean one thing…
“The golem’s creator caught them.”
