"Mr Levin, you are needed at the correction center"
It was a teen boy that came to call me while I was in class. I was excused from the class and I went to the correction center. I met the guild administrator whim I had met the first time I was called to the correction center
"This is our second time meeting each other Mr Levin, call me Miss Kate"" she introduced, offering me a seat
"I don't understand the reason I was called today, I've done nothing wrong"
"Yeah. I heard you formed a hunting squad, that gives the guild the right to use your squad to its personal use"
"I know, what is it?"
"I'm sure you received a message from the system about the supervillains yesterday night, right?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"The supervillains are all over the nation and it falls in the guild's neck to protect the nation from the supervillains, we have decided to post hunting squads to different part of the nation and your hunting squad is part the ones chosen"
"My hunting squad is made of teens, how are we supposed to take down super villains?"
"Because we saw what tiyr squad did in the dungeon, killing over twenty monsters, even you killed eight monsters in few seconds, the guild is amazed"
"How'd you know that?" I asked surprisingly
"I once told you that our technology covers the dungeon's first floor do we can see everything you did especially the part of jewelries and golds "
"Shouldn't we take them?"
"You can, you can. In Fact, you won't have to give the guild any percentage your loot from the dungeon, that not applicable to black gold coins "
"Oh, I'm amazed "
"Only if you succeed in this mission ".
"I'll inform my squad members, their decision is what I'll choose, can I go now?"
"Yes but I do hope for the most positive response from your squad"
After the classes, The Devil's Bane net at the cafeteria as usual
"We really need to change our place meeting " Maxine said while taking a sit
"You are right Maxine, I'll tell the guild administrators to give us a place on the guild"
"So, what's the update?" Jack asked curiously
"The guild wants us to help her in the fight against super villains, we can keep full percentage of our loots from the dungeon as reward "
Jack's face froze when he heard what I said, he quickly replied"the super villians will be way stronger than we are, you think we can defeat them?"
"Not really but we have to try" I replied
"I go with my brother, we are too weak to fight the super villains, we barely survive the monsters" Jay replied fearfully too
"What about Maxine?" I asked
"I'll go with whatever you decide " Maxine replied without caring
"So do I " Susan said
"So it's left to Jack and Jay, choose now whether you are going or not"
"We are sorry, our sister won't allow us to go on such a mission" The two brothers pleaded
"I understand, since the two of you won't be coming, I guess Susan, Maxine and I will be going then "
"I really want those +2 stats if I kill one super villain " Maxine said
"It won't be easy but we can succeed if we have each other's back. We can depart now, I'll tell us when the guild is posting us "
The next day, the three of us went to the guild's correction center. Miss Kate decided to dry run us to know if we are qualified for the mission. Using a particular skill of hers, she was able to guess our overall ratings
"Mr Levin, tiy are the only one that qualifies for this mission because you have over two hundred overall ratings but the remaining twos have under two hundred. It's up to you if you want to go or not"
After discussing with Maxine and Susan, I decided to go on behalf of the hunting squad.
I flew to the North part of the nation. I boarded a cab from the airport to the nearest police station just like the guild advised me to do. The cab broke down on the way so I had to come down from it. The driver gave me a vague direction to the police station which I took, on my way, I got to an alley
The alley was slightly broken, it was very long, only two people could pass at a time and the garbage bin placed at the end completely blocked it.
Similarly, it also blocked people's view of the alley.
At the deepest part of the alley, where shadow enshrouded all, a body was lying down in puddle of blood
The puddle was facing down but the outfit and the physique caused me to raise my brow
The outfit was similar to the one I'm wearing now, the physique also closely resembled me Huuuu!
I took a deep breath ignoring the smell of blood that filled my nostrils, I flipped over
Despite the half of the head being blasted of with a single shot, the remaining face was enough to tell me that eighty percent of the face here shared my appearance
"Is this one of the shapeshifters?" I exclaimed as I searched the body
He's got a leather case, a cigarette case with four cigarettes in it and the set equipment from the search.
Nothing else!
I touched the fatal wound on the body, inspecting the body carefully
The hair, the skin at his back have scald marks which means he was shot with a g*n pointing at the back of his head. The head splattered blood and brains means he was shot right here.
I used the Holy Veil to check if anyone was around or for footprints but I found none.
"Super Villians" I repeated not understanding the reason those super villains will kill an avatar of mine.
I've never been to this part of the country before, everything seems strange here, it looked like only super villains exist in this place, no existence of super humans at all
So if the shape shifter that has the same face as mine was killed and then I appeared in public, what would happen?
The answer was self explanatory
Potential ceaseless attack might scare a random superhuman away but not me
An Hybrid of Devil and Human
I decided to send what this shape shifter has been doing since I sent it from the dungeon. I opened the leather case and found three hundred dollars bill in it, some black gold coins together with a key and dozens of name card with the same name written on it
The first side of the card had Levin Walker written on it, that is the only thing written on it
I thought the shape shifter's identity was a dead end but fortunately there was an address at the back of the name card
16th Saltlake street
After getting a few informations, a burned the body thoroughly and hid the remains
After double checking for leftovers, I strode out of the alley but before I walked around the garbage bin, it was toppled over
A person that followed the toppled garbage bin, staggered to a fall before ne
