My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Jake opened his eyes wondering where he was and then his eyes met with a white ceiling and the smell of chemicals hit his nose making him aware he was in the academy clinic. Jake tried to move his legs but he noticed something heavy on it. Looking down, Jake could see someone's head sleeping on his legs. The little movement he made, woke the person up.

And Jake could see it was Kate that was sleeping on his legs. With a dribble down her mouth, her eyes swollen as if she had cried and her hair messy, her eyes lit up in delight, she greeted Jake with a smile then she felt something on her face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Touching her face, she could feel the dribble then she quickly wiped it off and looked at Jake embarrassed with her cheeks having a tinge of red.

"What happened? Why am I here again?" Jake asked then he felt a banging pain in his head as the memories from the hunt and then to the Iron Fist Guild members surfaced in his mind.

He remembered the arduous battle and the many times he felt he was going to die by the hands of the Iron Fist Guild members. He even remembered killing Kilberg. This soured Jake's mood and his eyes showed a glint of remorse for it was the first time he killed a human ever. Continue your adventure at empire

It felt different from killing a beast although Kilberg and his gang were a beast of their own kind for trying to kill young teenage students but they were still humans.

"It wasn't your fault." Kate said as if reading Jake's train of thought. "The situation called for it so you had to do what you did to survive. Anyone in your position would have done the same thing without a second thought."

"You don't understand how I feel. It's just.." Jake sighed.

"I know, I can't understand how you feel but I do know what you feel, which is guilt and remorse. I know it was hard killing a fellow human but I just want you to know that it was for the survival of you and your friends, your family." Kate said.

"If you hadn't done that, you would have eventually weakened then he would have possibly killed you and then come for us next so as to not leave any witnesses."

"So try to forget what happened. Think of everything as a bad dream, okay?"

"A bad dream huh?" Jake mumbled as he recalled having a bad dream with his mom in a forest warning him he wasn't strong enough.

'Was this what she was warning me about? If so then, I definitely proved her wrong by showing how strong I am.' Jake thought. Then Jake looked towards Kate.

"Thank you for the talk, it kind of helped and I think I will be fine soon." Jake said then he remembered something.

"Hold on, how long was I out for?" Jake asked.

"You have been out for a long time." Kate replied.

"How long? Two days? Or better still, three days?"

Kate shook her head telling him no. "You were out for a week."

"A week?" Jake shouted.

"Yes, a week." Kate replied.

"But wasn't our monthly beast hunt supposed to be held by this week?" Jake asked.

"Well it has been cancelled owing to what happened with us and the Iron Fist Guild. The academy is currently trying to sort things out with the Guild." Kate said.

"Hope I am not gonna be punished for killing a Guild member?" Jake asked.

"No, don't worry you are in the clear. Rather the Guild had a lot to answer from the academy about trying to kill its students." Kate replied.

"How did the academy find out?" Jake asked again.

"Well, when you and Peter fell unconscious, we took you both out of the forest then we met the other students at the entrance of the forest all waiting for the Iron Fist Guild to open up a portal so they could come back to the academy."

"Knowing that they won't come, Sophia opened up a portal with the button she took from one of the Iron Fist Guild's members then the students started questioning us about where we got the button from."

"Sophia was trying to explain but the students weren't giving us a listening ear. Then Sergeant Leo arrived through the portal. Apparently, he was called by the soldiers that guard the portal room about the portal opening up but no one came through so he went through the portal and asked what happened."

"We explained what happened to him, he collected the button and asked us to go in then he went to the forest to investigate. There he came across the Iron fist Guild members so they came back to the academy and were reported and handed back to their Guild to deliver the appropriate punishment."

"But, the Guild were seriously pissed about one of them that was killed and they swore to take revenge. But with you still being in the academy, it won't be possible for them to attack you unless they are willing to make an enemy of the academy which they are not willing to." Kate explained.

'Well at least I am still safe as long as I am in the academy.' Jake thought with a sigh of relief.

"So how's Peter?" Jake asked.

"Peter is fit and fine. He had recovered during the previous week and is currently in the room next to you."

Jake heaved a sigh of relief hearing that Peter was okay and then decided to lay back on the bed because he was mentally drained right now. Kate, seeing that and confirming he was okay, decided to let him be for now as she headed back to their dorm to freshen up.

Jake just slumped back to the bed and decided to shut his eyes. "That was a thrilling battle you had there." Zee said.

Jake almost shouted out but then he remembered that there was a talking AI in his system and with Zee being quiet sometimes, he kinda forgot about him.

"Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you or the system." Jake smiled.

"Speaking of the system, you need to check it now because before you passed out, I had seen what was written and am sure you will be pleasantly shocked and surprised to see what message you received." Zee said.
