Animeverse Slayer!

Leo stretched his neck and laid down on his bed. His first night of work went smoothly, he was amazed at how organized these people were, their forces were spread out like a wide web, an Extraordinary would be locked on the moment it appears.

He rested for a while and woke up when noon was closing in. His body was filled with power as he stretched out and did some warming exercise. Washing up he went down and ate at a restaurant down below.

Having filled his stomach Leo strolled through the streets and stopped before a large building. Two men guarded the door, they looked at Leo who was walking towards them and spoke.

"Restricted area, authorized personnel only."

Leo stopped in his tracks and pulled out a badge, the men saw the badge and immediately gave way.

Walking into the building Leo saw a desk, a middle-aged lady was seated behind it. She heard footsteps and looked up, upon seeing Leo she stood up and welcomed, "Good afternoon Mr Leo, this way please."

Leo followed the lady. Soon both of them stood before a door, the lady knocked on it twice before opening it. She gestured for Leo to enter and closed the door.

The moment he walked in Leo felt several pairs of eyes focus on him. He looked around and found several men and women looking at him curiously. He wasn't fl.u.s.tered and calmly gazed at everyone.

"Have a seat, Mr Leo."

A deep voice reached his ear, Leo looked over and found a man in his late fifties or so. He wore a black suit and had a grey mustache that was well groomed. He radiated the presence of a leader.

Nodding his head Leo looked around and found Dalia waving at him, she had saved a spot for him, he went towards her and sat down.

The leader spoke up after Leo took his seat, "Everyone, this is Leo Heart. All of you have been informed about his circ.u.mstances, he will be a member of Dark Light for some time."

Dalia nudged Leo and he understood what she meant, he stood up and bowed towards the crowd, "Thank you for your help. I will do my best in these coming days."

The leader smiled, after some miscellaneous things were discussed one of the Extraordinaries asked Leo.

"You use a sword as your main weapon, that's way too primitive."

Leo followed the voice and found a man in his late twenties lazily look at him. He was quite handsome. Dalia saw who it was and said, "That man is called Arthur Lex. He is the same as me, a natural awakened Extraordinary."

Leo looked him in the eye and said calmly, "Everyone has their path, mine is the sword."

Arthur curled his lips, "Against a class S Extraordinary swords are useless, a single hit and you are done."

Leo smiled and replied, "Then I just gotta make sure I don't get hit."

Arthur scoffed, "Heh, I read Sam's report, you are strong but don't be so arrogant. Firearms can kill more demons that your sword."

Leo replied, "A weapon in the hands of a master swordsman is a tool to kill, in the hands of a weakling it's just the same as a toothpick."

Arthur looked at Leo and said coldly, "Are you calling me a weakling?"

Leo asked back with a sly smile, "Did I say that?"

Arthur glared at Leo, "You got guts."

"That's enough. Arthur, Leo, both of you are on the same side, so tone it down."

The leader suddenly spoke up.

Leo wasn't bothered by Arthur's attitude, he ignored his glare and looked at the old man seated at the center.

Dalia whispered to him, "That's the current head of Dark Light, Edward Highland."

Leo narrowed his eyes, his soul sense picked up tremendous energy from this man, he thought to himself.

A class S.

After some matters were settled the meeting was adjourned. Leo walked out with Dalia however Arthur walked upto him and said, "I hope you don't die quickly, little swordsman."

Leo just smiled and walked away. Arthur scoffed and left.

"He doesn't seem to like me."

Dalia rolled her eyes, "Duh, that's obvious."

He looked at her with a peculiar gaze and said, "I wonder why?"

Dalia didn't answer and increased her pace. Leo shook his head and followed.

The night came. Leo reported for duty and did his work flawlessly. Sam was hoping Leo would work here till he retires, however that was just a pipedream.

Two days later.

Sam was explaining something to Leo.

"Do I really have to go? I am after all a temporary member."

Sam waved his hand, "That's not a problem, since you are here, go and make us proud."

Leo sighed. Dark Light had an assessment every six months and it just so happens to be around the corner so Leo was to attend it. Though it says an assessment it's more like a competition between different bases.

The strong and talented will obviously stand out and they will be groomed. It's as simple as that. Since their branch mostly dealt with intelligence their ranking within the organisation was rather low, so Sam was preparing to use Dalia and Leo to obtain a high rank and thus larger resources.

Leo rolled his eyes at Sam and said annoyed, "They say the older you get, the more shameless you become."

Sam sipped his coffee and smiled, "Why thank you."

Leo's mouth twitched. He let out a sigh and accepted his request.

Leo stared at him and said, "You better not forget what you promised."

Sam patted his c.h.e.s.t and said, "I am a man of my word."

Leo ignored him, however what he said the next moment kind of threw him off.

"Also watch out for that Arthur, he has an eye on Dalia and since you are her partner he quite hates you."

Leo rubbed his forehead and asked, "How should I deal with him?"

Sam shrugged, "How would I know? Just clobber him till he recognises you as his father."

Leo nearly pulled out his sword when he heard that. He let out a long sigh and accepted his future.
