Good morning mom.
Oh Damon morning, how was your night.
It was great ,I slept like a baby. Is dad at home?
No he has gone for work, but he left something for you. Here you go. She the hands over a small box.
I wonder what it is . He then opens the box
Wow ! It's a dagger .
Really I didn't expect that, let me see.l wonder how he was able to afford a high quality dagger like this. She then saw a note in the box.
There is a note in the box.she said
Huh... here it is.said Damon
It says "sorry son for leaving so early something important came up, but I hope this little present of mine can make up for it. At least with this you can protect your mom and yourself when am not around ". After reading this Damon felt a strong sense of motivation and said.
"Mom I promise to protect you no matter what.".
Don't worry Damon, you don't have to protect me ,your father just said that to you believe in yourself.
No mom I have to protect you, am your son it's my duty. He said we a determined look on his face.
Oh son, I love you so much, but you can't protect me you're too weak even with the dagger. I will prefer it if you just stayed with me. She then went to embrace him.
Am sorry mom I can't do that. I know am weak but I will become stronger and promise to protect you.
Son, it's all my fault, even only I gave birth to you with more spirit energy. She said crying and still embracing him.
Mom stop, how many times have I told you not to blame yourself.
But I heard you were being bullied by those street thugs.
Don't worry now I have this dagger they won't bother me anymore.
Are you sure? she asked worrying
Am sure mom, so why don't we go eat breakfast am starving.
Ok... let's go have breakfast.Even if she knew he was lying she didn't want it to escalate.
After breakfast Damon went to buy some goods for his mother on the way he thought to himself.
"What should I do today,I could visit Martins or I could train using this dagger".
As he was thinking he saw people gathering and decided to see what was happening.
What is going on? He asked a woman.
A boy is beginning beaten by those gang members.replied the woman.
He went in for a closer look and saw the boy that was being beaten and couldn't believe what he saw.
Look boss he can't even stand up now after all the big talk... hahahaha. Said by one of the ruffians as they rest followed him to laugh.
Shut up you bastards. Said the boy on the floor.
Huh.... so you can still talk then how about I break your jaw. The ruffian said as he went to punch him but Damon landed a punch of his own first and sent him flying.
How dare you beat up my friend, the next person to try and lay a finger on him will get his finger cut off. Damon said as he brought out his dagger.
Damon what are you doing here run these guys are dangerous. Said the boy
I won't run,I will protect you because your my friend Martins. Damon said with a serious face.
How dare you punch our comrade, who do you think you are. Said another ruffian
Am the one that is going to teach all of you a lesson. Damon replied.
Teach us a lesson? We're they ones that are going to teach you a lesson. Then all the ruffians rushed towards him.
Stop!!!. Said a man in the background,who turned out to be their boss.
As they stopped,they made a way for the boss to pass and the boss said .
"Hey kid what do you think you're doing interrupting us like that".
What do you guys think you're doing beating my friend like that?
How dare you talk back to the boss you little piece of shit.
That's enough, you got alot of nerve just like your friend and now look at him. Said the boss.
What exactly did he do that was so bad that you guys beat him up like this?. Damon asked.
He spilled his drink on me and my dress got stained and it turns that this loser doesn't even have money for me to get a new one. The boss replied.
That's it, are you crazy, you can't beat up someone like that for such a childish reason. Damon said angrily.
Childish? You think that what happened was childish, do you have any idea how much his cloth cost. Said the boss.
So you think it was childish ,that I Brock the the boss of this gang ,will indulge in childish things then what exactly are you going to do about it?
Am going to stop you. Damon replied
You're going to stop us? did you guys hear that this little piece of trash is going to stop us. All they gang members started laughing as Brock said that.
Okay then how about this, if you can land one hit on me I will let you and your friend go. Said Brock.
And why am I supposed to believe you. Said Damon.
You don't have any other option, so you just have to believe me but if you lose to me,me and my boys will take everything you have. Brock said overconfidently.
Don't do it Damon, he is strong you won't win. Martins said as he held on to Damon's hand.
Don't worry Martins I will win I promise. Damon said with a smile as he released his hand from Martins grip.
I accept.
Damon then rushed Brock with his dagger and will try to hit him with it but Brock dodged all of his attacks. But Damon didn't give up he kept on attacking even though he was being laught at he didn't care and kept attacking.
Suddenly one of the gang members said.
"Is it me or is the spirit energy coming from the boy just too low".
You're right, his spirit energy is very low.
Wait,don't tell that is kid is an E rank.
Hahahaha... He's an E rank and he dared to challenge Brock who is a C rank .
So you are just a mere E rank and you dare to challenge me, l will make you regret this. Brock said.
It doesn't matter if am an E rank,I will help my friend no matter what. Damon said as he launched another attack.
Brock easily avoided it and punched him in the stomach and Damon got on his knees. Brock showed no mercy and kicked him on the face to the floor and Damon began to bleed from his forehead.
Look at you just two hits and your already bleeding but if you beg for mercy I might let you go. Brock said.
Damon was still catching his breath and didn't reply him.
Did you hear me,I said you could leave if you beg for mercy but you will have to leave your dagger and all of your belongings or else I will kill you and take your dagger and kill your family with it. As Brock said that, him and his gang began to laugh.
Suddenly they felt an enormous amount of spirit energy emitting from Damon coated with a reddish aura. As Brock turned to look at Damon he was intercepted by a punch from Damon he didn't see coming and which sent him flying in his gang.
The crowd that was there couldn't believe it. After crashing into his gang, some of the gang members began to stand and as they stood the looked at Damon and saw him staring at them with high levels of bloodlust and became afraid.
Who the hell is this kid.
How was he able to send Brock flying.
Is he not an E rank, how does he have that much spirit energy .
No it's not just the spirit energy,I can also sense s different power emitting from him.
No I can't take this am leaving.
Me too, I didn't sign up for this.
Wait you cowards, were do you think you are going. Brock said.
Sorry Brock, we can't take this, we're out of here.
No stop!!. Brock screamed but they didn't listen and ran away.
Do you think you can intimidate me,I gave you a chance to run but you chose not to I will make you regret everything. Brock said angrily.
Brock began to emit spirit energy of his own and then ran towards Damon and tried to punch with all his power but Damon block it with his bare hands and countered it with a slash to his chest using the dagger followed by a punch to his face which took him to the ground. Brock began to bleed from his mouth and nose.
Everyone couldn't believe what happened especially Martins. Then at that moment, Damon tighten his grip on the dagger and it looked like he was going to kill Brock. Martins then immediately called out to Damon snapping him out of the state he was in.
Damon then went towards Martins thinking he won and that Brock will keep his word.
