55 Merciless

[mother's pov]

I was waiting in my sofa and an open window for the letter my son should send today, since he entered the academy for Blazers, every Monday he would send me an ice bird with a letter to me, I still wonder how he could make a sculpture alive, but it is soooo cute!

Oh, here it is, the ice bird came from the window I left opened and I extended my index finger, and the bird landed over it with the letter in its beak.

When i took the letter, the bird jumped in my shoulder and rubbed it's head on my cheek, even if it was made of pure ice, it released a warm feeling to me, maybe it is because it was made from my own son, or he did something to it.

Then the bird evaporated, it shouldn't be possible, because it should melt before evaporating, but my son somehow could do it, it is incredible how he could think at such things. Then I opened the letter and started reading.

"Dear Mom,

Hello Mom, how's going the week? Mine was pretty good, I even got a new roommate, even if she's a girl, she is incredibly beautiful, she has long scarlet hair, and pretty big red eyes, her body was in a good size, and has my same age, she's called Stella Vermillion.

Maybe you know her from the news of her being the princess of the Vermillion Kingdom, but she's being a bit friendly now. Well, let's say that we met in 'special' circumstances.

I didn't know nothing about her entering the school as a transfer student, she didn't know nothing about having a roommate, and I entered the room while she was getting dressed up. Later we fought and I won, and from now on we forgot about the incident and became friends.

Soon I will join the Seven Star Sword Art Festival, and… There's nothing else to say, bye Mom.

From Xiao Qiangwei, your son."

When I finished to read the letter, I started laughing till tears came out, because my son wasn't a pervert like many mens outside the world, and probably he just walked inside while picking a can of beer, and then left the girl alone.

[Xiao Qiangwei's room]

Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were watching the TV, when he suddenly sneezed.

Stella: Bless you.

Xiao Qiangwei: 'How the fuck did I catched a cold?!' Thanks.

[mother pov]

Well, I just hope that my son could win, and stop with his revenge… I already knew about it, and I know already who killed my husband, but I am afraid about what would happen to my son Qiangwei, I don't want him to be a killer, and I don't want him to be killed… So I didn't said nothing to him.

*Groowl*

Well, time to start eating something…

Mother: What should I do... Well, let's just order a pizza...

[4 days later/Xiao Qiangwei's side]

Ikki was knocking at his door with his sister behind him, and Xiao Qiangwei opened the door while drinking beer.

Xiao Qiangwei: Yo, do you need anything?

Ikki: Well, my sister wanted to take me to see a movie, so I though if you would like to come with us.

Xiao Qiangwei then turned towards his room.

Xiao Qiangwei: Hey Stella, do you want to come with me, Ikki and his sister to watch a movie?

Stella: Mh? Sure, I don't know the place really well, so it is a good possibility to know more about it.

Xiao Qiangwei then turned to Ikki

Xiao Qiangwei: We will come.

Ikki: Fantastic! Well, we will see each other in 3 hours then, bye Qiangwei

Xiao Qiangwei: See ya later Ikki.

Then he closed his door, and turned to Stella

Xiao Qiangwei: Well, you heard him, in 3 hours we will leave, prepare yourself.

Stella: Ok, I take the bathroom now, you will enter after me.

Xiao Qiangwei: Mh.

Then she entered the bathroom while Xiao Qiangwei prepared his clothes over his bed.

[3 hours later]

Xiao Qiangwei and Stella were waiting at the gates of the academy for Ikki and Shizuku, who came well dressed, while Shizuku looked like a doll.

Stella: Ohhh, you are so cute!!

Then she hugged Shizuku who had an arkward expression over her face and a bit jealous due to Stella's size.

Ikki: Are you guys ready?

Stella/Xiao Qiangwei: Yes!

Then Shizuku and Ikki grabbed each other's hand while Stella was watching Xiao Qiangwei's hand, then she was filled with determination and tried to grab his hand while blushing a bit, but Xiao Qiangwei unconsciously grabbed her hand and walked with the rest of the group at their destination, while Stella was embarassed.

[later]

They were in a table to eat a crepe, Xiao Qiangwei and Ikki just eaten normally, while Stella and Shizuku were entranced from its taste.

Ikki: Hey Shizuku.

Shizuya: Yes?

Ikki: You got cream on your face. You have to watch out, it'll ruin the beautiful looks.

Then he rubbed the dirty place on Shizuku's face and eaten the cream, making her blush and hide behind Xiao Qiangwei, who got a frown.

Xiao Qiangwei: Hey girl, it isn't the end of the world if he cleans your face, you don't need to hide from him as if he was a disease.

Shizuku: You just shut up!

Then she got back at her seat while avoiding to glance at Ikki.

[later]

The group was walking in the higher floors to see the movie.

Shizuku: It's almost time. So let's head up to the theater on the fourth floor.

Ikki: Sorry Shizuku, I gotta go to the washroom first. Could you buy my ticket for me?

Xiao Qiangwei: I need to go too, see you later girls.

Then Ikki and Xiao Qiangwei walked towards the bathroom

[later]

They got out from the toilet after taking a piss and were leaving from the bathroom, suddenly Xiao Qiangwei was in front of Ikki and many gunshots rang from the door, destroying it.

Meanwhile Ikki was watching Xiao Qiangwei getting shot repeatedly in his back, he was worried first, but Xiao Qiangwei was unharmed from them, when the gunshots stopped, Xiao Qiangwei turned and used his just materialized claws to kill the terrorist in a swing.

Two terrorists fell to the ground and a big puddle of blood extended under them, Ikki had an hand over his mouth from the shock and glanced at Xiao Qiangwei with rage

Ikki: What's wrong with you?!

Xiao Qiangwei: What? Are you worried for your almost-being killers? I just killed them.

Ikki: Just killed them?! You could just make them unconscious!

Xiao Qiangwei: You think that the world is a good place? They could have already killed, raped, and looted from many people.

Ikki: And if they didn't?!

Xiao Qiangwei: Then I just saved the life of many innocent people, since they even tried to kill you. I work like this, if someone wants me dead, I will decide what do to with them, if either giving them mercy or death.

Ikki: You… You don't care about their lifes?

Xiao Qiangwei: I care only about the people important to me, I don't have time to think about the others, if someone was raping another stranger in front of me, I would try to do something, but only to save the victim, not the rapist. I already tried giving mercy to a killer… And I almost fucked up later.

Now let's go, if there are terrorists here, then it's certain that there are more that want to make a mess in other places.

Ikki took a deep breath before looking at the dead bodies, then he though about his sister that might be in danger and got a resolute look, then nodded and followed Xiao Qiangwei
