Chapter 102: That Is What You Are Best Suited For, After All.

The superhuman killer might have been in the army, but he knew exactly what he was. He was only a slave that the army was trying their hardest to keep on a leash! He was a guard dog that they would send out whenever they felt like it and when he came back they would throw him a bone and pet his head before tying him up again like an animal!

It grated on his nerves and he hated the fact that this was his life. As time went on, he started to grow a distaste for killing people. Killing normal people became so easy and simple to him that there was no fun in it anymore.

So when he saw a chance to get out of the military when the Armageddon class attacked, the superhuman killer wasted no time and immediately began his escape. The superhuman killer also received a blessing, but his blessing was from a minor god that did not have much of a name in the heavens.

He did not have any special abilities and his god did not have a name, but that did not mean that he did not have power. The superhuman killer received enough power to be on par with a B-class superhuman.

It might not seem like much on the grand scale of things – especially when you compare him to superhuman powerhouses like Mark and Tylor - but when you take into account the fact that the superhuman killer was already a professional at killing and murder even before he became a superhuman, you realize that giving him any form of power whatsoever will boost his already superhuman strength and make him almost unstoppable by anyone in the military.

The superhuman killer tore through more than a hundred people who were standing in his way. He killed every single person that tried to stop him from escaping as he made his way out of the military base and escaped!

After escaping, he was finally able to leave the military life behind, and since the military already trained him in how to covertly hide from detection and remain under the radar for very long periods, he was able to avoid being found by his military handlers who were constantly looking out for him.

So why would someone who despised killing so much turn to a life of killing once more? One can say that the thrill of the hunt was what the superhuman killer enjoyed most. But the answer to that is more complex than the fact that he simply enjoys the thrill.

He enjoyed his freedom and individuality, and lived without following any orders, simply doing whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. But then another problem arose after some time.

He was not a normal person.

The superhuman killer was trained from a young age on how to take life and murder people and he did not know about any other type of life other than a life of killing. It was impossible for him to suddenly settle down and become a salaryman or maybe a teller in a convenience store. It would be too boring and mundane for him after he lived a life of adrenaline rushes and murder for so long.

So he decided that he would go back into the business of taking lives, but this time, he would do it at his own discretion, and with his own rules.

The first rule was that he would not kill regular humans. He had grown a distaste for that after he killed so many of them, and he realized that it would be too easy for him. The second rule was that he did not kill children, and the third rule was that he would always finish a job he had started.

It was because of one of these rules that the superhuman killer went to Mark's house and spoke to Arit. His initial plan was to find a way into Mark's house and to kill Mark when he was at his most vulnerable, but that was not going to work because of the people who were living with Mark. One of them was a child and the girl was a normal human.

The superhuman killer used the package that Arit received as a test to see if she was a normal human or not. A superhuman of any rank at all would be able to carry that package easily without showing the amount of exertion that Arit showed.

The superhuman killer was only a C rank, so he was sure that C ranks and above would be able to carry the package, and even D ranks and below would not think it was too heavy. There was a high chance that Arit and the child would become casualties during their fight.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

The superhuman killer felt the phone in his pocket vibrate and he brought out an AirPod and placed it in one ear before answering the call. The voice on the other side of the phone made his eyes narrow in annoyance.

[I hear you took on a new job. I don't remember you saying anything about this in our previous meeting.]

"I don't answer to you. The jobs I take are of no concern to you."

[Yes, normally that would be the case. But they are of concern to me when they directly affect my own plans. Your target, Mark Vanitas; I have plans for him. I need you to stand down until I confirm his position.]

"What sort of plans?"

[That is not your concern. Just do as you are told, killer; that is what you are best suited for. If Mark Vanitas proves to be useful then you must cancel your kill order; but if he doesn't, then you may eradicate him.]

Beep.

The superhuman killer turned off the phone once the man said this and he looked around him blankly while passing in front of a restaurant that sold naturally grown foods. The person on the other end of the call was not someone that the superhuman killer wanted to go against, so as far as he was concerned, he had to put his kill order on hold for now.

The superhuman killer wondered what Mark Vanitas could possibly do for someone as twisted as that person. Whatever it is, it will definitely not be anything good.

But that didn't matter to the superhuman killer. That wasn't his jurisdiction, and so he wasn't going to bother about it. He would just wait and see what happens in the future.

His job was to kill and to do as he was told. That is what he is best suited for, after all.

'Are you happy with this life?'

The superhuman killer blinked in surprise as a random memory from a long time ago popped up in his head. The memory came suddenly and without any warning so he did not even know how to react to it.

Why would he be thinking about that girl now?

He shook his head to get rid of the memory and sighed as he took out a face cap and put it on before blending into the crowd again. The superhuman killer concluded that he would have to come up with a new plan.
