Zack was struggling hard with his throat in my grasp, but my fingers didn"t budge . ."Cough… ghrr…".
Finally seeing fear welling up in the man"s eyes, I slightly loosened my grip . .

"What do I gotta do…".
"Right… I"m going to need a room, can you get me that?".
"N-not right away . I"ll need a month . ".
I looked into his eyes as he spoke . He didn"t seem to be lying . .
"I see . Well whatever . Actually, suddenly getting myself a room will make me stand out . I just need a roof over my head is all . I"ll sleep in the hallways I guess . ".
.
"Sure thing . I"ll get you a spot…".
"Also, I"ll need meals, well balanced meals . If you can"t get that, I"m afraid I won"t need you . ".
"Y-you won"t need me…?".
"Nope, not at all . ".
I tighten my grip momentarily . .
.
"Oh, Ok, ok ok! I can do meals, three meals a day, no problemo!".
"Thanks a bunch . Next… info yeah, I"ll need that . This place looks like it"ll be fun . Lots of intrigue . ".
.
"… I"ll answer anything I know . ".
"Then, let"s talk about our relations.h.i.+p . You said you"re with the Doem Camp, yes? I don"t want to pick a side just yet . I"ll be Trash . ".
.
"… Then I suggest you don"t talk to me in public . How am I getting you the food?".
"I"ll have it in this room . I can come in without anyone noticing, so it"s not an issue . ".
"… Sure . ".
Zack had on an extremely bitter expression . .
.
"Yeah, that"s enough for now . I"ll find you when I need something again . ".
"Yeah, you do that . ".
.
I let go of his neck . He sat down and looked up at me while ma.s.saging his throat . .
"Who the h.e.l.l are you? How come you"re this strong when we"re not supposed to have mana…".
"Who can say…".
"You"re no student . A spy… no, someone from the underworld…".
"Perhaps, but would I really reveal that?" I said, putting some strength in my gaze . .
"…Tsk" Zack tsked and looked away . .
.
"f.u.c.king politics… whatever, I ain"t involved, just do whatever you gotta do . ".
"That I will, Mr . Zack . That I will . ".
"… Yeah, sure . ".
.
I turn my back to the dejected Zack and grab the door handle . .
"Ah, right . I don"t think I need to tell you, but do keep this on the hush hush . ".
"… I know . ".
"Just a friendly warning . You see, I honestly don"t care if I have to kill you and everyone else in your little Doem Camp—" I said, momentarily releasing a strong helping of mana and bloodl.u.s.t . .
.
"—Wha!? But your mana"s supposed to be…".
"As if this trinket can seal me…" I said finally, opening the door and exiting the room . .
.
"… f.u.c.k me with a sledgehammer . I just had to pick up a freakin" monster…".
.
Listening in to Zack"s muttering from the other side, I did another mental fist pump . .
