Blood Assimilation

"…" 

Instructor Ava continued to stare at the mysterious red-haired young man with the same suspicious expression for a while as she pondered to herself.

'He is right about his statement. With the strength that he displayed a while ago, it's safe to assume that he could very easily kill all of us if he wanted to. In other words, there's no need for him to go through all that trouble to simply make us see something like that just to scare us. Since that's not the case, then how did the monster corpse suddenly decompose? This is almost as if…' She quietly thought to herself with her expression relaxing a bit.

"Since you get it now. I don't have to explain myself any more than this. It's time for me to leave now— Eh?"

'Hm? Why is he here?' The red-haired young man silently thought to himself.

"What is it? Why did you stop?" Instructor Ava quickly asked when she noticed that the red-haired young man suddenly stopped in mid-sentence.

"Ah, it's nothing. Anyway, as for what to say to the military regarding this, you can simply tell them that whoever sent this thing after you guys might've temper with the monster beforehand, leading to rot a few minutes after its death. Most likely to get rid of the evidence. This should be quite useful enough information, right?" The red-haired young man said to her.

"…Hm, that should be enough… And what you say also makes sense. I'll make sure to deliver this information" She agreed after a while of pondering to herself. 

And she continued: "But are really not going to deliver the message to the military yourself? If that is the case, then how do I introduce you to them when asked? After all, I still haven't heard your name yet." 

"About that… I don't plan on revealing my name so it would not be a good idea to reveal myself in front of the military in this district. But you can call me however you like when introducing me to the military. After all, this isn't my first appearance in the eastern district, right?" The red-haired young man in a somewhat mysterious tone. 

"…" Instructor Ava was confused by the other party's words since this was her first time meeting him, let alone seeing him somewhere before.

However, one of the male students who caught on to what the red-haired young man was implying by his words at this point suddenly raised his voice and then happily said: "Teacher Ava, this person is called Blood Venerable Fist God in the virtual world. Although I don't know his real name, we can call him by this, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Instructor Ava turned to the male student who spoke just now for a moment before retracting her gaze from him and back to face the red-haired man.

'Blood Venerable Fist God? What kind of person would name themselves like that? Is he not embarrassed by this nickname?' She quietly thought to herself as she continued to stare at the red-haired young man with a strange gaze. 

The red-haired young man suddenly felt uncomfortable with the gaze on him and immediately cleared his throat before saying: "With that out of the way, I will now take my leave. Ah, but before that, I'll have to take care of this thing first—"

Saying so, he instantly manifested a sharp-looking energy dagger about the length of 12 centimeters, and then he quickly threw it upward, seemingly aiming at something. 

Boom! 

A loud explosion resounded shortly after in the sky above them, shocking and startling everyone.

Soon after, they all proceeded to quickly raise their heads to look up into the sky as they wondered what the cause of the explosion could be. 

"What was that just—" 

Crash!

Instructor Ava frowned and then was about to ask something before quickly shutting her mouth when something suddenly fell from the sky onto the ground, and its parts were strewn everywhere on the road afterward. 

Upon closer observation of what fell, she noticed right away that it was most likely a surveillance flying robot, and it seems like something that originated from this Eastern District, meaning that it was something that was created by the magical technology division in the eastern district. 

'This is not from Western District, so does that mean the one attacking us came from the Eastern District. Does that mean that the people who attacked my students back in the Western District were also from the Eastern District? No, that can't be right. This might be a ploy by the enemy to hide their true identity…' She silently thought with a look of concern. 

"There you have it! Now it seems the spy is taken care of, or should I say the one that caused the corpse of the creature to decompose, and also, if it is like I am thinking, then the one that is blocking communication with the military would be that thing just now." The red-haired young man said before turning around to leave. 

'…This young man is quite sharp and perceptive. Not only did he find out that there was a flying surveillance robot in the sky, but he even managed to figure out that our communication wasn't getting through with the appearance of the surveillance robot.'

'After taking down that surveillance flying robot, it should be possible to connect to the military now. With this action alone, I think it is safe to assume that this person isn't one of the culprits behind this attack on us. But he's still too suspicious, so I shouldn't just trust him blindly, however...' 

Instructor Ava deeply thought while looking at the back of the red-haired young man departing with a half appreciation and half cautious gaze.

When the red-haired young man walked about three steps heading towards the direction of the Sky Rise City, she opened her mouth and then said: "Thank you for helping us in this time of need, uhm… Blood…"

"Ahahaha, just call me Crimson if you feel that uncomfortable with saying my nickname out loud." The red-haired young man laughed, waved his hand without looking back as he continued walking away.

"…"

Instructor Ava, along with everyone else, looked on as the figure of the red-haired young man who claimed to be called 'Crimson' slowly disappeared from their sight as he walked away in long strides. 

Eventually, his figure could no longer be seen within the darkness that shrouded the vicinity of the Beast Forest since it was now dark outside due to it being nighttime right now.
