My Demon Hunting System

Chapter 17: Control your Anger

"Almita, retrieval my blade!"

Ary called out while opening his right palm and his cutter blade of death appeared on his palm.

While grabbing the blade from its handle, Ary stepped forward with a furious expression on his face. He was exasperating after seeing Selina's past. And due to the fury that simmered inside of him like an active volcano. He started walking away from the realm of Warriors, the Astral Realm, to kill the Demon race.

"I will never forgive the demons!!"

Continuously cursing the demons, Ary was walking through the hall to get through the exit door.

He saw a large black door in front of him. It was the door to exit the Astral Realm and then by using portals, one can travel to where they wanted.

Ary held tight to his blade, ready to destroy the door.

Unfortunately,

"Where are you going, little one?"

A sagacious voice was heard from the left direction.

"Hmm?"

Ary, still furious, glanced to his left to see who called him just now.

He saw a man in his late 30s standing there with a gentle smile on his face while closing his eyes. He had fair skin with straight blonde hair. He was wearing a monocle in his right eye and a set of white and yellow astral dresses like a priest.

He opened his eyes as the color of his crystal green eyes emitted at Ary, he asked,

"You can ask me if you need anything, little one?"

***

"Mu..."

Erica responded in her sleep as she slowly stretched her arms and due to her action, the blanket that she was using, fell to the floor. She slowly opened her eyes, mumbling,

"Why does my head feel so heavy?"

Then she glanced to her right but there was no one.

"Eh? Where's Ary?"

She mumbled. Soon enough, while looking around, she realized that she was on her bed.

"Hmm? When did I come here?"

Then she glanced to her left, toward the futon. Yet, Ary wasn't there either.

"Where did he go?"

She mumbled but suddenly she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

"Umm? Yuck! What's this? I haven't eaten anything. How could the taste sensation in my mouth turn brittle?"

She didn't remember what she drank back then.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, her eyes fell to Ary's futon. She noticed some drops of white fluid on the bottom area.

In an instant, she jumped down, and forwarded her right hand to gave a check on that liquid.

She rubbed the fluid on my fingers.

"Eww. It's stinky. What is this?"

She said to himself while making a disgusted face.

A thought struck her head and while dilating her eyes, she assumed,

'Hold on a second, the color of the liquid is white and it is on the bottom area of Ary's futon.'

Then she blushed as this thought came to her mind, she pondered,

'Is this sticky thing Ary's...'

Then, due to embarrassment, she placed her palm over her face, blushing,

"What am I even thinking? This can't be, right?"

Then she came to halt as she realized something,

"I was lying here with Ary, right? And this liquid is here too. Also, my mouth tasted better. Was I just..."

Then she shook her head, bestowing,

"No way, what am I even thinking? Ary never does something like this."

But she wasn't sure. Her face shaped an anxious expression, she pondered,

'Then...why does my mouth taste bitter and this futon is wet?'

***

"I see. So you were planning to annihilate the demon race. Right?"

"Yes,"

In response to Wise man's questioning, with a distressed voice, Ary confirmed while lowering his gazes. They both were sitting on a bench in the corner.

"Hah..."

That man sighed and got up asking,

"So, will you be able to do that? Answer me honestly."

Annihilating a whole demon race was not child's play. Just going there in the physical state where Ary was in, would be just as equal as committing suicide.

"I...I don't know."

Ary replied. Trying to calm down a little bit yet reminding the scene that he saw in Selina's memory making his blood boil in wrath.

After hearing Ary's comment, the man smiled at him and commented,

"You're a good boy. That's why learn one thing and I promise that you'll be fine if you follow it."

"Hmm? What?"

Ary reacted as he raised his head to look at that man.

With a smile on his face, that man put his hands in his pocket, and while looking toward the sky, he advised,

"Control your anger, my child. Because...it's just one letter away from D'anger"

After seeking his advice, Ary smiled and replied,

"Mhm. I think you're right."

Then he got up from the bench and while walking toward that man, he asked,

"By the way, it was my rudeness, I still haven't asked who you are."

"Oh?"

That man responded then while bowing a little, he introduced himself,

"My name is Albert Steller. The father of Heavenly Realm."

"Hmm? You're...the father of the heavenly realm...?"

Ary repeated while widening his eyes in shock.

"Yes, my child. Ary, right?"

Father Albert inquired.

"Y-Yes,"

Ary confirmed in an apprehensive voice then immediately bow down, greeting,

"It's my pleasure to meet you, Father Albert."

It was normal for him to be slightly nervous since the person standing in front of him was none other than the father of all deities, Lord Albert, the owner of every heavenly realm.

"Ahahahah. You don't need to be so formal, kiddo. Raise your head."

Father Albert suggested with a gentle smile on his face.

"As you wish."

Ary replied then raised his head.

"So, my child, what about you train yourself first? Warriors have the sole purpose of defeating the Demon King. But to do so, you need to be stronger first. Because the demon king is so strong that no one except the first Warrior till now could manage to defeat him."

Father Albert suggested.

"I understand."

Ary proclaimed then, he asked,

"However, father Albert. I have a question that I wanted to ask."

"About the name of the first Warrior?"

Father Albert mentioned since he know that Ary seemed to be troubled after knowing that his surname matched with the 1st Warrior.

"Ah, yeah. Did you know his name? I'm kind of in a dilemma about it. I'm not sure whether it's a coincidence that our surname matches or something else."

Ary said while placing his right fingers on his chin.

Upon hearing his query, a sagacious look shaped Father Albert's face.

He glanced at Ary and said,

"I won't mind explaining his name to you, my child. However,"

Then his gentle smile returned to his face, he mentioned,

"Tell me. What does it give to you?"

"Hmm?"

Ary reacted while twisting his eyebrows after hearing his comment as he mumbled,

"What do I get from it...?"

"Yes, you can't get anything from knowing his name. It is just a waste of time for you now since it's better to train yourself. I'm not telling you that I don't want to tell you or anything. However, in my opinion, it's better if you will know it when the time comes."

Father Albert indicated.

"When the time comes...?"

Ary repeated.

"Yes, when you become the X rank warrior then I'll promise that I'll tell you his name as well as teach you some of his techniques."

Father Albert told as he looked toward the sky for some unknown reason.

"Ah, I get it. But actually, I don't know the ranking of warriors."

Ary claimed in a slightly nervous tone as he lowered his gaze.

"Hmm?"

Father Albert reacted as his gaze shifted to Ary after hearing that he had no idea about the ranking for Warriors.

A smile formed on his face, he clarified while raising his right arm,

"The ranking of Warriors is not very different from the ranking based on Demon race. l think Galiriothoxmus had already told you about normal ranking, right?"

"Ah, yeah. From C to SSS."

Ary confirmed.

"Hmm. Good. Let me explain the ultimate Warrior race and their ranking."

Father Albert claimed as she walked some footstep away from Ary and while looking toward the sky, he clarified,

"The Ultimate Warrior race is the evolved version of Warrior. The race has the power to create their own dimensions which they called "Arkinest Dyneema". Their speed is just as equal as thunder. With the weapon they hold, no ordinary demon can escape their wrath. Their ranking started from T and ended in Y. You They can even able to have a heavenly beast on their side that helps them to fight the enemy."

"Heavenly Beast? Was it a beast with super powers?"

Ary asked.

With nodding, Father Albert confirmed,

"Yes, ordinary warriors aren't allowed to take them as pets. However, Ultimate warriors can take them if they want, of course."

Then his eyes fell on Ary, he claimed,

"Their appearance makes people get the feeling of heroism. Also, if people saw a normal Warrior, they usually think that the person is mad and playing cosplay."

"Eh?"

Ary responded as he felt like a sharp arrow hit his chest since he was also a normal Warrior.

"Ahaha. Don't feel sad. I'm just classifying them. After all, they are a lot more powerful than normal Warriors."

Father Albert comforted him with a smile.

After hearing his classification between normal and Ultimate Warrior, a query hit Ary's head, he asked,

"So, are there any Ultimate Warriors here in the Astral realm?"

"No,"

Father Albert denied it with his closed eyes then while opening his eyes, he said,

"Ultimate Warriors have their own separate realm where they train themselves in seclusion. Most of them live in groups while others live alone."

"I see..."

Ary responded while looking at the floor and gradually nodding his head then as expected, a query struck his head again.

While enlarging his eyes, he glanced at father Albert and asked,

"Then does that mean, the 1st Warrior was an Ultimate Warrior?"

Ary's curiosity grew even further but it looked like Father Albert didn't want to explain everything just yet.

"I think it's better to save some knowledge for later."

Then he glanced at Ary and commented,

"It's already midnight now. I believe it would be better for you to take some rest to get ready for tomorrow."

"Hmm? Will there be something special about tomorrow?"

Ary implored, thinking that maybe something will be special tomorrow.

And as expected, there would be something special.

Father Albert opens his mouth and told,

"Yes, tomorrow is the training day for all Warriors. That's why it would be better if you have a good sleep so that you can have a perfect day tomorrow."

"Ah, yeah."

Ary responded and he bowed to Father Albert to show his respect toward him, and while turning around, he said,

"Excuse me then. I hope to see you tomorrow, Father."

"Yes, sure."

Father Albert replied with a smile and then Ary walked away.

By seeing Ary walking away toward his room, Father Albert pondered while glaring at Ary,

'That boy...he's not very different from the first Warrior. But there's only one difference that makes them like the difference between Earth and Heaven.'

Then he sighed and while closing his eyes, pondered,

'Ary doesn't have the correct knowledge of his power and he even acts in emotion. If he had to fight then he had to eliminate his emotions.'

Then he slowly opened his eyes and mumbled,

"I wonder...whether this boy will surpass him...or not..."

The "him" that Father Albert meant was the 1st Warrior.
