Chapter 152 - No More Reasons

Stomping his feet to the ground, the latter was destroyed as it formed a two-meter deep crater. 

Bang!

A loud explosion spread throughout the area, dust filled the air as Narukami's figure was covered in dust. Jim and Jaz coughed as they moved their hands back and forth so as to scatter the dust before them.

"What happened?" Jim pondered as he opened one of his eyes as dust somehow got into his other eyes. However, as soon as he did it, he could not see anything aside from dust covering his vision.

But, a few moments later, the dust gradually faded away as the outline of a man could be seen inside the deep crater.

Jim was bewildered. Since when was there a huge hole here? He probably thought as he approached it.

Not long after, the dust finally scattered and Narukami could be seen standing at the center of the crater.

His surroundings were the dead bodies.

"You did this, Narukami?" Jim pondered. He never knew a human could form a big hole just from stomping.

Narukami shifted his line of sight to Jim as he nodded.

Quickly afterward, he leaped out as he left the crater and landed near Jim.

Jaz was coughing crazily as though he had the flu.

"You okay?" Narukami wondered.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just sensitive to dust, cough, cough!" Jaz replied.

Narukami nodded after he heard Jaz's words. He then turned around to the corpses and covered their bodies with dirt.

It took half a minute. He left after images as he did it at speed beyond light.

He was quite fast that dust begin to fill up the air once again.

Later, he halted his steps as the crater was no more but replaced with flat ground. The dust had also gradually vanished.

Jim and Jaz could not do anything to help and felt a bit useless. However, they were also grateful that things went smoothly and were done rather quickly.

Narukami's hands were layered with dirt. He clapped his hands and one could see dirt was flying off of his hands.

Without uttering a word, Narukami left the backyard and left the building through the front door.

Jim and Jaz want to say something but upon seeing Narukami leaving just like that, not say anything.

They followed behind him.

In the process, Jaz halted his steps as he looked back at the spotless ground which buried the dead bodies.

They were laughing and eating snacks yesterday, talking about a lot of interesting things, and just having fun by doing some stupid things but as time passed, it got worse and worse. 

They did things too far and this was what they got.

Jaz honestly thought they deserved it but thought it carefully, they did not. They were just kids who had no adult taking care of them, mad at them for doing wrong. This results in taking the wrong path. 

Next time, I'll do the right thing, Jaz vowed to himself.

After careful thought. No one had the right to take other people's lives. Jaz had no right to blame it on Narukami. He did what he thought was right.

However, to Jaz. It was the complete opposite yet he was not in the opposition to say that Narukami's way of doing was wrong.

He could not just say, what you're doing is wrong. You should have not killed them, right?

But it was worth the try. He was given the chance to live and he would do everything he thought right without hesitation.

He did not want to live while holding back what he was going to say in his mind. For he was afraid of being blamed, faulted at or someone angry.

Middle finger to those three. He would say it if it was something right!

"This is wrong," said Jaz abruptly.

Narukami halted his steps and so was Jim. The latter was the first one to turn his head around to Jaz.

Narukami pondered without looking back, "what is?"

"Why did you kill them? I know they raped a woman and it's something terrible and disgusting. I'm not on their side but they did not deserve to die," replied Jaz.

"Then what are you suggesting? They are dead and I cannot bring back people to live," said Narukami.

"I want to know your reason, that's it. While it is true that it does not change the fact they are dead, I simply want to know why."

Narukami fell silent as soon as he said it. A few seconds later, Narukami said, "It's because they have no place in society anymore. Once someone passes the border of something they must not do, they will be okay with it the next time they do it.

"For example, a saint who kills for the first time would have guilt filling their hearts but when they kill another and another, they will be okay with it as though they just do another job."

It was obvious what Narukami was pointing out here.

"But that does not mean they deserve for their lives to be taken away. This world has a system in it! You're not a cop or a judge!"

"You know there is a system in it then why did you end up like this?" Narukami asked as his voice turned a bit cold.

"Selling drugs, stealing, hurting people right and left and almost rape a woman. If not for me, I think it's safe to assume that you'll be the same as them. True trash of this world.

"I do know for a fact there is an organization out there who, well, clean up the mess produced by society but do you think they have the time to take care of brats?" Narukami asked. Jaz did not know how to properly respond as he was a bit stuttered, "I– this isn't my point. You try to change the subject here."

"Oh really? Then why don't you go to college so that you can prove me wrong? Instead of following me, why don't you go and look for a job? Saving money and then educating yourself?"

"But I don't have any money," Jaz shook his head.

Narukami turned around his body, snapped his fingers and its sound spread throughout the building.

Not long after, the atmosphere turned strange. Jim and Jaz could not pinpoint what's causing it but they instinctively raised their guard.

Their eyes darted around. They could feel inexplicable horror in their hearts as a strong wind suddenly produced in the building!

It was unexplainable and for humans, nothing more terrifying than the unknown!

Their hair fluttered. Their clothes swayed about.

"What's happening?!" Jim asked as he was alarmed.

They could also smell something was over-burning.

In the midst of chaos, Jim noticed something as the air seemed to vibrate. This was may only his eyes playing tricks on him, how could the air vibrate as though the ground?

However, the more he looked at it. The more he realized it was not his eyes playing some pranks!

The air cracked and rippled like water. In the next moment, a vortex was opened as it sucked the air.

"The air! It's… it's opening!" Jim pointed out his finger.

Jaz followed the direction where Jim directed his finger at. His eyes constricted as he was genuinely shocked.

As the vortex appeared next to Narukami, Jaz shifted his line of sight to him and frowned as he instinctively deliberated this to Narukami.

"Narukami, this is…" Jaz wanted to complete his sentence but cut off in the middle as Narukami entered his hand into the vortex and pulled out gold coins.

Jaz and Jim were flabbergasted and confused. Narukami just opened a vortex and then gold coins came out as soon as his hand left the vortex?

Throwing it to Jaz, the gold coins bounced and rolled as they made a light, sharp ringing sound.

Clink!

"Now you have it," said Narukami rather calmly.

Jaz fell silent as he had his mind loading what in heaven's will just happen. He retracted his vision from the gold coins lying in front of him to Narukami.

Narukami stared at him for a good few seconds. Without uttering a sound. Simultaneously, the vortex beside him had vanished.

In this aspect, Jim became the third party who had no idea what he should do. It felt wrong to continue the silence but simultaneously, it was the best thing he should do.

Speaking of surprise, Jim indeed had that feeling in his body but it lasted shortly as he had witnessed Narukami's power.

Therefore, witnessing a vortex open, the feeling lasted briefly.

However, what surprised him the most was the fact that Narukami threw gold coins like they were nothing!

If Narukami had that much money, he could have gone back to Japan already and did not have to eat free food!

She's going to whoop my ass to the moon but whatever, I'm sure she'll understand, thought Narukami in his mind as he joked about it a bit.

Yup, the gold coins were from his ancestor. She had an enormous amount of wealth that could be compared to the wealth of every richest person in the world if combined.

Heck, probably exceeding that if adding the antiques and other stuff.
