16 Training the new Anarchis (1/2)
It had been a day since Kate had started following Vincent. She was almost completely convinced by now that she had been completely scammed. There wasn't a single other person in their organization and he was actually planning to apply to mercenary camp.
However she still followed him as she felt a odd dense of sympathy for thew poor bloke. She wanted to be a queen that reigned supreme and united all beastmen and this guy dreamed of crating some super-shady all powerful secret organization. He was probably as insane and delusional as him.
Also the guy was strong all right. Moreover, the way he gave death threats and attacked people was extremely cool and amazing. He was also a good teacher.
A group of bandits were camping out in the open.
Vincent and Kate walked into the clearing, completely exposed and unarmed.
Some of them looked over and whistled ”Looks like we have some fresh meat.”
”Can you believe they walked right up to us!”
Vincent ignored all of them and looked at Kate and asked,
”Do you remember the best way to make someone do what you want them too?”
”Give them the feeling of pure terror! Threatens to kill someone close.”
Vincent's gaze softened for a second before going back to his usual self.
”No, girl that is only for kind folks. Out here in the wild, people only care about saving their own skin.”
The bandits didn't take kindly to being ignored ”Hey quickly leave all your valuables here if you want to live!”
”Yeah! Leave the little girl too, such a cutie will fetch us a lot.”
Vincent continued as if he couldn't hear them,
”Pure terror is when you let someone believe they are in control only to have the ground pulled out from under them. The moment when they realize that their world crumbles around them. The moment when they realize that they are completely in the enemy's palm, when they realize there is no hope of resistance, is pure terror.”
The girl nodded her head vigorously, then smiled darkly. Of course crumbling their worlds would surely be a pleasurable situation.
”Then Observe- the power of face slapping!”
”OY! I will count to ten and if you don't do as we say, DIE!”
Vincent tsked ”No class at all!” Shaking his head he looked at them with a face full of sympathy.
”I am afraid that you folks haven't understood the gravity of the situation here.”
”If you really want to live, give ME all of YOUR money and I would let you go.”
”Hahahaha! Looks like this guy's brain has short-circuited due to fear!”
Vincent continued ”See that Katie, they currently believe they are in control that's why they are spouting stupid lines that seem to come straight out of a crappy novel”
He snapped his fingers and well the camp they were sitting in moments ago was blown up. A geezer of piping hot lava seemed to rise to the sky and fell back down annihilating a lot of their surroundings.
”Now I have taken the ground right from under their feet!”
”I thought you meant figuratively when you said it, not literally.”
”This just double the effect.”
”The thugs scrambled in panic and immediately activated their magic barriers.”
”Cheap tricks, but now you won't be able to harm us.”
”Do you really believe that yourself”
