Zack was struggling hard with his throat in my grasp, but my fingers didn''t budge . .


    "Cough… ghrr…".


    Finally seeing fear welling up in the man''s eyes, I slightly loosened my grip . .

    "What do I gotta do…".


    "Right… I''m going to need a room, can you get me that?".


    "N-not right away . I''ll need a month . ".


    I looked into his eyes as he spoke . He didn''t seem to be lying . .


    "I see . Well whatever . Actually, suddenly getting myself a room will make me stand out . I just need a roof over my head is all . I''ll sleep in the hallways I guess . ".


    .


    "Sure thing . I''ll get you a spot…".


    "Also, I''ll need meals, well balanced meals . If you can''t get that, I''m afraid I won''t need you . ".


    "Y-you won''t need me…?".


    "Nope, not at all . ".


    I tighten my grip momentarily . .


    .


    "Oh, Ok, ok ok! I can do meals, three meals a day, no problemo!".


    "Thanks a bunch . Next… info yeah, I''ll need that . This place looks like it''ll be fun . Lots of intrigue . ".


    .


    "… I''ll answer anything I know . ".


    "Then, let''s talk about our relationship . You said you''re with the Doem Camp, yes? I don''t want to pick a side just yet . I''ll be Trash . ".


    .


    "… Then I suggest you don''t talk to me in public . How am I getting you the food?".


    "I''ll have it in this room . I can come in without anyone noticing, so it''s not an issue . ".


    "… Sure . ".


    Zack had on an extremely bitter expression . .


    .


    "Yeah, that''s enough for now . I''ll find you when I need something again . ".


    "Yeah, you do that . ".


    .


    I let go of his neck . He sat down and looked up at me while ma.s.saging his throat . .


    "Who the h.e.l.l are you? How come you''re this strong when we''re not supposed to have mana…".


    "Who can say…".


    "You''re no student . A spy… no, someone from the underworld…".


    "Perhaps, but would I really reveal that?" I said, putting some strength in my gaze . .


    "…Tsk" Zack tsked and looked away . .


    .


    "f.u.c.king politics… whatever, I ain''t involved, just do whatever you gotta do . ".


    "That I will, Mr . Zack . That I will . ".


    "… Yeah, sure . ".


    .


    I turn my back to the dejected Zack and grab the door handle . .


    "Ah, right . I don''t think I need to tell you, but do keep this on the hush hush . ".


    "… I know . ".


    "Just a friendly warning . You see, I honestly don''t care if I have to kill you and everyone else in your little Doem Camp—" I said, momentarily releasing a strong helping of mana and bloodl.u.s.t . .


    .


    "—Wha!? But your mana''s supposed to be…".


    "As if this trinket can seal me…" I said finally, opening the door and exiting the room . .


    .


    "… f.u.c.k me with a sledgehammer . I just had to pick up a freakin'' monster…".

    Listening in to Zack''s muttering from the other side, I did another mental fist pump . .
