76 Demonic Joker (2/2)
In the cave, the projections were being watched by about ten people. Eight of them had their faces covered and their bodies wrapped, however two of them were completely exposed. The two exposed people were none other than the Headmistress and Fae. They were intently watching the projection with the other eight people.
”Headmistress, this new kid that you brought, are you sure that he is five years old?” One of the mysterious people spoke up. This person had a deep, masculine voice, however even that wasn't enough to clarify the man's gender. It was still unknown.
”He is five years old. We did a thorough investigation on this boy's family background, and found nothing too peculiar.” The Headmistress spoke with some confidence, however there was also some hesitation within her voice. It could be seen that even she was in disbelief.
Fae looked at the Headmistress, and then turned her head towards the mysterious person. After looking at both for a bit, she began to observe the video that showed Arnin. ”I can guarantee that this child is only five years old. However, there were a couple things that happened in the past when I was getting information.”
The mysterious people turned their heads to look at Fae, including the Headmistress. ”Go ahead, tell us.”
”Well, Arnin is actually from a small village that is about a day's flight from Lepidoptera academy. Of course, if someone went by foot then it would take longer. His village is called…” Fae went ahead and began to describe where Arnin was from, and who his parents were. She was also able to recount his childhood in a detailed manner. This showed how well the academy was able to gather information..
All of the listeners nodded their heads, but the Headmistress looked at Fae and couldn't help but ask. ”But what was the problem with him? You said that you found some other information about his past that we weren't able to?”
Fae nodded her head and handed a small piece of paper to each person in the room. ”This here is the information from his Orb Identification. This was extremely difficult to obtain since almost no one would be able to see these other than the people themselves or their families.”
The people in the room looked at the contents written on the piece of paper. Although the faces of the mysterious people was hard to see, one could tell that they were in shock due to the sounds that came out of their mouths.
'(Arnin) Sex: Male. Species: (D)Human. Realm: ???. Talent:??'
The Headmistress looked at Fae with bewilderment. ”Fae, what is this? Other then his sex, everything else is different. Even his species has the letter (D) in front of it. What does all of this mean?”
”I am also unsure. As I have already talked about the boy's background, we know for a fact that his parents are both human, and even looking at the history of the village, there were never any attacks from demonic beasts, or other sentient species. It has a rather peaceful history.” Fae's clarification stupefied many. They assumed that there might be a chance that Arnin's parents were not necessarily human because of past events, however that didn't seem to be the case. Both of his parents were certainly human.
”Then what about these question marks? I have seen unknown talents before, but why is his realm also unknown? Shouldn't he be at Orb Birth - Earth?” One of the mysterious people voiced out.
Unknown talent was uncommon, but not rare. There were many like that, however having an unknown realm was extremely rare. Even if one had a problem with their orb and they weren't in Orb Birth - Earth, the information would state that. That had been the case for Lilise.
”I am also not too sure about this. There was no other information. All I know is that Arnin was different from other children his age. He was extremely mature and had no friends from the very beginning. This may seem to be nothing out of the ordinary, but it was said that people would find him sitting in secluded areas with his eyes closed.” When these words came out of Fae's mouth, the room became dead silent. It was so silent, that one would feel chills all over.
”Are you sure that he wasn't just resting?” One of the mysterious people spoke out after some hesitation.
”I am not saying anything. All I know is that he sat everyday with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He would do this for long periods of time, however no one knew what he was doing. It might have just been him resting, since it would be nearly impossible to begin cultivation or even knowing how to cultivate at such a young age.” Fae spoke out what she knew, but nearing the end, even she felt some hesistion.
She had seen Arnin's ways in Lepidoptera Academy, and did not believe that he would so simple.
--------------------------------------------------------
While there was discussion going on, Arnin was oblivious to the fact that his whole background had been investigated. He continued on his way, and killed any individual that came into sight.
He had already killed two more boys and three girls. Some of their deaths were extremely brutal, while others were instantly killed through a head slice. Arnin did not spare anyone and just killed continually. His essence was still continuously leaking, however because of him constantly absorbing blood essence, he was able to bring his realm back to around Orb Birth - Sky.
Of course, his body was in a very unstable position. He had too much blood essence and the equilibrium between all of the essences in his body was broken. This caused his hair to remain crimson.
Arnin walked around with a smile on his face. He carried a silver dagger that was soaked in blood. This dagger was not his, rather he found it on one of the girls he had killed. It was helpful since it was not rusty, and had not been used too much.
He had killed so many people that he was slowly becoming known to other, stronger students. Although Arnin had only killed weaker people, that still did not affect his new nickname, 'Demonic Joker'.
This name was given to him because of his red hair, and his way of killing. Many had seen how Arnin would kill his victims slowly, or even torture them just for fun. This resulted in his dark nickname. Of course, the name only brought fear to people around Orb Birth - Sky or below. Everyone else found Arnin to be a joke, so many didn't care to waste their time on him.
Arnin, of course, knew about the nickname and he did not mind it. He really did like killing others, and found it enjoyable to see others in pain. Plus, he wasn't too concerned with how others perceived him. In the end, he still planned to kill them all.
