117 Saint Nicholas (1/2)

Linri's back was covered in a cold sweat. He was so close to dying just now. This time, he had no grand back up plan or a sure way to escape death. His only trump card turned out to be useless and he almost paid the price for that with his own life! He was currently angry beyond measure. His fists were clenched so tight that his nails were stabbing his own palm. He was careless and arrogant. I guess his own words were true with great power comes an even greater arrogance... How could he forget such a simple thing!?

”Who are you?” Zero's voice was calm but his sword was pointing towards James who was picking his own ear. He could feel that Old man James was much more of a threat to him than all the people in this place combined. How could some like him even be here? Most importantly why didn't he notice his presence before?

Unbeknown to Zero Linri was wondering the same question. Old man James was the reason he decided to attend the ceremony in the first place. He was the school janitor and he was an admin only character. After a fight, he would appear and immediately fix everything in a second almost as if nothing ever happened. Also when there was a +18 content going on in the club he would magically appear there and make the said students wear thick winter clothes. Once James was done with them they wouldn't even be able to move and another RP character would have to come there to take their clothes off. Of course, not in a dirty way otherwise, James would appear once more.

”I am James. The Janitor” said James while flicking the filth he picked up from his ear. Then something unimaginable happened and Zero suddenly crashed into the wall. It happened way too fast for Linri to see anything! Even weirder part was that James was still standing on the same spot without moving. Did that mean Zero was hit by that piece of filth?

”Now that's interesting. I didn't know he would be here” Solas' melodic voice was heard once again.

Linri had guesses about who James was. You see, canonically, nothing about James was ever revealed. He was just your every day overpowered Janitor, nothing out of ordinary. But there was one instance where his identity was revealed, unfortunately, it was in a non-cannon side event so it couldn't really be called trustworthy. As some of you might have guessed it was a Christmas side event and in there James was revealed to be the Saint Nicholas or better known as Santa Claus! He appeared and granted everyone a wish. If you desired you could even wish to spend time with someone who already died. I mean they would disappear after that day but still!

Linri wanted to confirm if the things in the side events were cannon or not. So what better way was there aside from making him fight Zero? If James was defeated he could still let Solas incarnate and kick Zero's ass. Of course, that was assuming his own life was in danger. Thank god James was stronger than he thought otherwise he would be dead meat just now.

”Who is he?” Linri could not help but ask. He was too shocked to see James' prowess.

*Crash*

Before Solas could answer Zero darted out of the debris and attacked James. They started a furious battle in the sky that was too fast for his eyes to follow. They became two blurs and if you weren't paying attention you wouldn't even see they were there. Then they suddenly stopped.

”You! I know who you are! You are the abominable son of Gurgos. The one who refused the grace of Gods”

Zero seemed out of breath while James still seemed relaxed. It seemed like he was the one who came out on top from their 'little' scuffle.

”I don't know what you are talking about” James denied vehemently.
