Chapter 10:

Category SS Ghoul: Deadfall

My Near-Death Is A Blessing!


(As alarms continued to go off, meanwhile at the scene of the destruction, a hydra tailed Ghoul with dragonkin eyes and a strong physique was staring at the running civilians in the distance as the Ghoul then smirked as one clap from its hands creates a traveling shockwave towards their bodies and causes the civilians to pop as if they were balloons along with their organs.)

"???: Such fragile weaklings... This world is mine for the tak-"

(In a sheer instant, the Ghoul was then punched directly into an evacuated home which trembles the area after the powerful impact. The Ghoul then bursts out of the house and is angered now as it then notices Reinhard Leonhart, standing boldly unprotected as he let his hair flow in the wind while staring down the enemy.)

"Reinhard: As a student in school, I will remain diligent to my education... But as a Minor Mercenary, I will not allow the forces of evil to continue its rampage in the absence of higher classed Mercenaries! Hear me Ghoul and know my name, I am Reinhard Leonhart, the protector of mien home and protector of this city! Your evildoing stops here!"

"???: Hahahaha!!! Is this all they sent me?! A Minor Mercenary, YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN DEFEAT ME WITH SUCH A WEAK POWER LEVEL?! I'LL SHOW YOU TRUE POWER!"

(As the Ghoul then inhales a large portion of oxygen and converts it into a powerful exploding ball full of evil energy, a stronger explosion was then created as the cocky Ghoul then laughs as he expected the fight to be easier than expected.)

"???: Just as I expected... Another human scum tossed to me by cheap Mercenary trash... Huh?"

(As the debris clears, Reinhard was completely unscathed as his entire arm blocked the entire attack after layering five shields underneath the arm. The Ghoul then scoffs and prepares to take the fight seriously.)

"???: It seems like you're willing to die the hard way huh?"
"Reinhard: Ending my life is a task easier said than done, let us see you back it up!"

(Before the announcement was made, meanwhile at Jingyi Grand Academy, Jia noticed Bai wasn't in the Disciplinary Committee room as she was wondering where he could be.)

"Jia: Hey, do you guys know where Zhen is?"
"Peng: I have not seen him come to think of it."
"Cheng: Ah, my blessed friends! I spy with my crow eye, the location of friend Zhen! Follow me comrades!"

(As everyone follows Cheng quickly, Bai was cornered against ten A Tier students who formed a school clan and fights him in a ten on one advantage as he continues to restrain himself from violating school rules and pulling out his blessings.)

"Attacker: Such a weak-ass kid, why did the dean even allow you to come here, Mr. 500?"
"Bai: ..."
"Female Attacker: You answer us when we talk to you, trash!"

(Bai was then kicked in the face with a roundhouse as he had no intention to fight back but falls in his own pool of blood as he was laughed at for being weak by the ten. As a foot stomps on the ground and the snap of the fingers creates a strong yet disorienting shockwave, the ten then turns their attention to nine members of the Student Counsel consisting of all of Jingyi Grand's Tier S ranked students including the academy's Big 3, Wen Zexi, Xuan Hua and Fen Xinya.)

"Xuan Hua: (Tier S | Rank 3 | Power: Disorientation Curse, Feline Blessing): Every last one of you are in trouble... and don't think escaping is possible."

(In an instant, a fast moving streak of light ties down the ten A tier students and regroups with the Student Counsel.)

"Wen Zexi (Tier S | Rank 2 | Power: Speed Blessing, Depletion Curse): That should keep them from trying to escape!"

(As footsteps were clacking on the blacktop ground, Fen Xinya was staring down the ten with a pissed off glare as she noticed a defeated Bai bleeding out as the Disciplinary Committee arrived but was too late for the Student Counsel handled the issue.)

"Fen Xinya: (Tier S | Rank 1| Power: ??? Blessing, ??? Blessing, ??? Spirit User): Take Mr. Zhen to the infirmary and have these ten temporarily suspended."
"Student Counsel: Right!"

(As they were given the command, the Student Counsel leaves with Bai and the restricted ten A tiers as Xinya gave a small glare of disgust towards Jia as she did the same without saying a word to each other. Cheng and the rest of the Disciplinary Committee noticed Jia's mood swing quickly. As time flies by, all classes were cancelled as alarms were going off in Hong Kong as the SS-Rated Ghoul was in the vicinity as Jia noticed the alarms, she noticed an open window and a knocked over chair as Reinhard left the class in a hurry. As the Disciplinary Committee and the Big 3 of the Student Counsel joined the Dean's office, Sun Xinyi begins to explain the situation.)

"Sun: As you all know, a Category SS Ghoul has entered Hong Kong and three students has left to fight the Ghoul. As of this moment, you all have the permission to use your blessings and abilities outside campus grounds until the enemy is defeated or when higher ranked Mercenaries arrive. Any questions?"
"Lian: J-Just one... *yawn* What's the.. name of this G-Ghoul..?"
"Sun: That's what we're finding out. The Ghoul at the moment has no name but once its defeated, we will have it detained and analyzed."

(As they all understood, we return to now as Reinhard and the SS Category Ghoul was fighting at a fast pace but at the same time were delivering echoing and thundering strong blows to one another. The two then clasp in a test of strength as the ground beneath them began cracking.)

"???: You're not bad, for a mere kid!"
"Reinhard: Mere kid? Hahaha! I have leagues and leagues of power that you cannot comprehend to! You underestimate me because of my appearance... but how can you underestimate a foe, thousands of times stronger than you?!"

(As Reinhard than layers himself in seven layers of armor and delivers a powerful punch, the force was powerful enough to launch the Ghoul through the entire evacuation area into the skies as news helicopters were circling the scene of the fight. Suddenly, the Ghoul then laughs as the fight was more serious now and rockets back down to Reinhard, smashing through one of his first three layers of armor after enhancing his strength then was punched back once again after being given a cut on the side of his face.)

"Deadfall: HAHAHAHA!!! I like you kid... Reinhard was it? I am Deadfall, one of the fifteen Ghouls from three years ago, I can finally see no longer hold back against someone like you! I was BORED LOOKING FOR COMPETITION!!!"
"Reinhard: Then let us fight to our heart's content!"

(Suddenly before Deadfall could power up, Jia blasts Deadfall across the field then was attacked by Zexi at lightspeed then was blasted into the skies for an ariel combo until was axe-handle slammed back down as Deadfall then lands on his feet as the Student Counsel and the Disciplinary Committee arrived in time.)

"Deadfall: So... It seems you've called in some reinforcements?!"
"Reinhard: I only arrived here alone, calling for backup is not a manly idea for a one on one."
"Deadfall: Tch... At least you're honest, human... But the rest of you, you made a grave mistake.."
"Jia: Remember the training everyone!"
"Cheng, Peng, Lian & Qiu: RIGHT!"
"Deadfall: It seems you've all made a fatal miscalculation... Ghouls that are SS and above.. Can summon Ghouls from a 50 mile radius!"

(Deadfall then roars at the very top of his lungs with a hollowing screech as over three hundred rouge Ghouls from all corners of the 50 mile radius ring were coming to the center of the fight.)

"Reinhard: I will handle you myself, Deadfall!"
"Peng: INCOMING!"

(Before three Ghouls could slash down the sleepy Lian, Xuan releases a powerful disorienting wave towards the Ghouls while using her unleashed cheetah form.)

"Xuan: Are you already?"
"Lian: I'm fine... *Yawn* Sleep.. Blessing.. go..!"

(As Lian was floating on his blanket, his pillow once again becomes an active fighting tank and shield as incoming Ghouls were attacking the students while Reinhard battles Deadfall. During the fighting, Mercenaries were responding to the calls as the Big 3 of Hong Kong's Association were the ones to arrive quicker than expected and battle alongside the students of Jingyi Grand Academy while Jiia and the Exchange Mercenaries along with Negan were watching the fight to see what's going on.)

"Jiia: The Big 3 arrived before you guys-"
"Negan: We're not going."
"Jiia: Huh?"
"Negan: They didn't leave yet and I think this will be over quicker than expected."
"Jiia: Hm..."

(Meanwhile, Fen and Jia continued to battle out of hatred for one another as everyone else was concentrated on the Ghoul.)

"Fen: You're a failure of a leader, Yi."
"Jia: Don't call me by my last or first name, you're nothing but a backstabbing bastard!"
"Fen: Bastard?! You dare address your superior that way, bitch?"
"Jia: WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"

(Jia releases a tornado out of rage which spins at fast speeds to turn the nearby Ghouls into mincemeat as Fen slashes a Ghoul behind her with a quick slash from her katana as she shoved Jia purposely.)

"Fen: I'm your superior! That's who I am you cheap piece of shit!"
"Jia: TCH!"

(Jia then blasts Fen with a strong wind cannon as Xinya then walks on air after stopping herself which revealed one of her hidden blessings.)

"Fen Xinya (Tier S | Rank 1 | Power: Airwalk Blessing, ??? Blessing, ??? Spirit): Tch, you forget the skies are mine, you damn slut."

(As Jia then scoffs, the two then began to fight each other as Reinhard and the Big 3 is close to finishing their fight with Deadfall.)

"Deadfall (Pained): It appears.. we've underestimated you... The Big 3 has never fought.. t-together... But you.. Reinhard, I.. will remember you... On the day of the f-final battle, we shall fight to the death...!"

(As Deadfall screeches in a Ghoulish language, the remaining Ghouls retreated and before Deadfall could escape, he'd notice an opening slash on his chest which lightens his entire body and in a mere second, a massive blinding light of sun obliterates Deadfall into ashes which stopped all the fighting, including Jia and Fen as a man in an all black suit carried his sheathed katana and stares down everyone without a second thought or a care in the world.)

"???: This is Jingyi Grand Academy's best and Hong Kong's Big 3? Tch, quite a shame."
"Gao: W-Who are you?!"
"???: Introductions aren't necessary. You'll know my name, when fate says its time to know."

(As the mysterious individual vanished after scanning the area, everyone then notices Jia and Fen still fighting each other aggressively as they both was bleeding in the process until the Disciplinary Committee and the Student Counsel separates the two from each other. Meanwhile at the main hideout base of the Ghouls, Deadfall returns after by sheer chance escaping the strong attack and kneels to the three Ghoul leaders sitting on their thrones out of respect.)

"Deadfall: Leaders, I have failed you. I could not infiltrate the academy..."
"???: ...Heh... Hehehe.... HAHAHAHAHA!!!! COULD NOT INFILTRATE?! You've done more than I even ordered you to! We have more than data on half of those Mercenaries..! You have done marvelous work, I dismiss you."
"Deadfall: ...Y-Yes leader."

(As Deadfall then leaves after being praised, the three then discussed their next plan of attack as one Ghoul with a punk styled attire and greenish streaked hair spoke up first.)

"Nylisa (Category X Rated Ghoul | Power: Absorption Curse, Quake Spirit User): What's our next plan of action for these Mercenary pissants?"

(The second Ghoul with the skin of a snake and the features of a chameleon wearing an all dark robe was then the second to speak.)

"Valence (Category X Rated Ghoul | Power: Shape Curse, Energy/Technology Spirit User): Hmm... Maybe we could use the knowledge we've learned and attack Mercenaries one by one then strike at the association."

"???: No need... Alert the Ghouls, we begin.. our most strategic phase yet."

(As the Ghoul then removed his mask, his face revealed half of his exposed flesh as a menacingly dark aura surrounded the Ghoul who'd reveal tendrils made of titanium steel and a hauntingly evil smirk on his face.)

"Triple Ghoul (Category X Rated Ghoul | Power: ??? Blessing, ??? Curse, ??? Spirit): I plan to return us to three years ago, where Ghouls has taken over the United Kingdom.. We of the fifteen will repopulate our murderous kind and annihilate every Mercenary in our path."

(As the Triple Ghoul then laughs manically, all fourteen Ghouls in his presence bows to him for he is the supreme Ghoul among the others.)
