The City(2/4)

After the archery test came the assassination/ information gathering test.

"Your information part for your test will begin now you must gather information about this criminal in 10 minutes and tell us everything that you have learned." said the long eared girl that was apparently an 'Elf'.

When they brought the criminal in he had a type of magic suppressing his strength and movements. They began the test and 9 minutes have passed with just me standing there. when the time was over they asked me what I had found out.

"Well depending on the way he is standing he is 5'11 with a muscular build made up of 90% magic defences. He has 99 laceration marks on his chest that were imbued with fire magic that are in healing showing he was tortured. From the way he is looking at Zilla it shows he wants to rape her, from the lust in his eyes we can assume he has done it to about 30 girls. He looks like he used to be an adventurer he was presumably D rank and a sword user. His eyes show a large amount of pent up bloodlust and lust so we can assume he killed his companions after raping the women in front of the men." I said many more things after that which shocked them. "How did you gather all of that just from looking at him?" said the Elf girl. "I devoured a White Wolf and they are known for their great offence, defence, and scouting are they not?" I replied.

They all looked at each other not even shocked at what had been said. After a few minutes of them checking all the information "You got all the strong points." said the Elf looking girl "Now we will test your assassination abilities." after she said that she brought me to a room full of assassins. "your test is simple kill all of them. you don't have to worry because they are all enemy assassins. oh yeah, no devouring them." after those words she left the room. all the assassins in the room disappeared, ready to attack and kill me.

The room was silent I walked to the center of the room and decided to activated poison control and toxicity. Poisonous gass started leaking out of my body. Slowly encasing this room causing the room to be a poisonous miasma. The miasma was a beautiful purple blue pink tint. The only sounds that could be heard we're gaging sounds and the thumps of bodies hitting the floor. It was a beautiful scene for a assassin watching their prey die by their hands. I grew up like this and I enjoy it. as the smile appeared on my face memories of those times surfaced the anger again came and the room went silent. "MASTER! PLEASE CALM DOWN!!" It was great sage, he was panicked. When I hears those words it reminded me they don't exist anymore. Emotions are a plague that will be purged. That is what I was taught while being a child. after about 5 minutes all of them were dead and I took in the miasma. Then I left the room "You finished?" She said to me. "Mhm" were the only sounds I replied. "Hey whats with this pungent smell?" she said. "poison" I replied while leaning my head against the wall with my eyes closed. "When did we provide you poison?" she asked.

"you didn't" were the only words I said I paused for about 5 seconds and continued "I'm the poison itself." she looked shocked. She didn't carry on the conversation any longer. She observed me noticing how my eyes were a certain glint, the eyes of someone upset or wanted revenge against something. She didn't inquire about it but I could feel the stare. We went back to the colosseum where the others we're. "So how was it?" the three instructors said "full marks." she said while staring at me and how I was happily talking to Quo and Zilla. "How can that be possible. Those were all top assassins from enemy countries." the magic instructor said while dropping her wand. In seconds their is a person infront of her holding it, "you dropped this." I said while handing it to her with a smile. When I handed it to her our hands touched each other. when she had a grasp on the wand I let go and walked away. "How does he posses such pure magical energy." she said while blushing from seeing his smile. They continued talking when one of the instructors said "It is getting late we will continue tommorow." after that they all left. We went to a inn and ate some dinner. well they ate dinner I just sat there talking with them. It's weird but I don't get the urge to eat. maybe it's because I'm a slime. 'Am I even a slime?' I thought to myself.

"No you aren't a slime, you are a special organism made by the heavens." the great sage said. "Wait I'm not a slime?" I said to myself. "Yes your races name is Origin. it is a creature that gets stronger the more you eat taking their form, power, speech, and sometimes memories. They were feared so much that the heavens obliterated all them but one, the god of creations son." great sage said with a tone that sounded almost sad. "Then am I..." I was cut off. "yes you have the body of the god of creations son and you more or less have his soul in you. I am a sliver of the god of creations soul." great sage said "I am the protector of you." after great sage said that words, memories, emotions filled my mind. then, darkness. Then light, the alley I grew up in.

Darkness and Light were the only distinctions. Dark and Light. Light and dark. eternally intertwined. after about 5 minutes the memories stopped and Zilla and Quo had finished eating we all went to our respective rooms. When I entered I went to the bed. I sat in a lotus position and tried to circulate the Qi that was so popular in my last life. "Great sage can I use Qi in this life?" I asked out of pure curiosity while tilting my head up. "it is possible but you need to devour a warrior to be able to use it since you need to eat to gain the abilities." great sage replied in a quiet tone. After we talked for a while I went to sleep. well a type of sleep. Whatever my species is we can't really sleep, we just go inactive. The night passed like that. then it was morning.

The second day of the test will be happening. we all went to the colosseum waiting for the instructors I decided to start playing with the fire magic I obtained from the blond rapist. Surprisingly the fire didn't burn me, but made me feel a sense of warmth. We wasted time away doing that. I tried doing experiments on the fire making it into an arrow then compressing it and compressing it and making a wall out of it.

At about 10 am they came to the colosseum, they all remained quiet watching me playing with the fire as If it was alive and talking to me. After a while I stopped my trance and looked at them. "Are we continuing now?" I asked them while looking at the assassination instructor.

"Ah yes." the Elf said "Today we will test your physical abilities and body constitutions. please take off your shirt." After she said that I took off my shirt and then they noticed my body is constantly changing from a 6 pack to a muscular build. "Is that normal?" the elf asked the Male swordsman. "Nope." the swordsman said with a weird look. "I have no absolute constitutional form for my body." I said "My body has no true form, I gained this form by eating two different creatures." "magnificent." came from the magic instructor. I looked at her like she was crazy. "So does that mean you devoured a slime for the form of a slime?" she said while looking at my body. "do you have a great sage?" I said asking her. "Oh yes." she said while looking at me with a questioning look. "ask the great sage to give a definition of 'predator' and you will know what it is." I said while looking at her with a kind look.

After a while she drops to the ground on her knees in shock. "Devour everything in sight..." she kept mumbling those words. She finally snapped out of it when I lifted her up like she was a child and put her in a chair. My actions shocked them for the fact that I look scary but actually have a kind heart. "What the great sage said is what my race is. Not what I am." I say smiling at her with a face saying 'whatever the old man said isn't me'. "Ptuh" was the only sound coming from the great sage as if his daughter called him an old fart.

"did your great sage just make an upset sound?" I asked the magician girl. "yeah." she said while looking at me with honest eyes. We talked about the element of fire in magic for a bit. Then I said the word Hypotic. "you've seen a hypotic?!" she askes after I said the words. "Yeah." I said while looking at the way my body works from the inside out "why?" I asked while also looking at her childish face. "Hypotic's are one of the rarest and most beautiful flowers. They bloom in the embrace of the night sky." she said while looking at me with the look as if she fell in love with the word flower itself. I looked at her and sighed out "Well I can't give you a hypotic but I can give you this." I opened my palm showing a green liquid taking form over and over again and again. finally it took it's form as a beautiful flower with crystal like petals and a delicate amber/Jade black stem. When the flower took full bloom I tried molding the flower to take the shape of a ring. "Here." I said handing her the ring while looking away while also blushing "it's not an authentic hypotic flower but it was made from the image of one I devoured."

After that before anyone could try humiliating me more than I was I walked to the assassination instructor and asked "What is the next part of the test."

"Oh the next part is distance kills." she said while explaining. "So all I have to do is prove my precise accuracy while killing someone from afar?" I said while glancing at her. She agreed and pointed at a weird machine that looked liked it threw something out then she said "just hit all the targets."
