The World We Do Not Know 121 The Real Monster

In every security point, the soldiers from the Ashura house recognized him and praised him for his fights in the purge.

*Knock knock*

"Coming! Please hold on." Faust reaches his apartment and knocks on the door.

"F-FAUST!" Neith comes to open the door and gets surprised after seeing Faust. Even though her initial emotions are happy, she stares at his captain's cloak with pride.

"Finally, I get to see you in captain clothes." Neith walks closer, sliding her hand on Faust' shoulder. "Oh, did you use the two sword style that I taught you? Did it help you win? Oh, silly me. Come in first, did you eat anything? Let me prepare your breakfast." One of the two swords that Faust is using belongs to Neith. 

For the two years that Faust spent with her, she taught him her two-sword style and gave him one of her swords to use it in place of f.u.kitsuna Masamune.

"No, Auntie, I did not get to use your sword Arts."

"Oh, you used unholy sword arts? I thought we both decided not to expose that sword arts in public." Neith asks in a surprise.

"No, I did not use that too. I used basic slash's and cuts and won somehow." Faust replies, and as he said, he did not use any of the sword arts in the purge than his unmatchable speed and strength.

"Wow Faust, I did expect it. You did not even use the sword arts and won every match. Talk about handicapped without spiritual power. It does not stop you, Faust." Neith praises Faust for his win.

"But that is not all Auntie." Faust sits on the dining table in front of the kitchen that Neith is cooking. He pauses in between the lines and holds his knuckles.

"He appeared again, took over my body while I'm unconscious. My team members told me I did not hurt him badly, but I know he would have done something horrible." Faust addresses that he lost his body to red-eyed Faust.

Neith is taking the ingredients from the cupboard and she freezes as she hears about the red-eyed. "Him, huh? Again?" She looks down in distress. *"I thought I got rid of him, What triggered this again?"* She thinks to herself. Her face displays concern and guilt.

"*How do I tell him? That it's not someone else. It is you, Faust. It's no dark magic or ghosts. But how do I tell you that it's your own personality? That you are suffering from a personality disorder."* The reason that Neith's face is also displaying guilty is because she is hiding from Faust about his illness.

The red-eyed Faust that keeps appearing is none other than his other personality. It is due to his anger, his feeling of uselessness and powerless gave birth to the other Faust that is ruthless and fearless. He fulfills the tasks that are left incomplete by Faust.

*"Two years ago when you approached with guilt and sadness. I had no other way but to tell you that what happened to your village is not your fault, but the one who is living in your body, a monster."*

"*But how do I tell you, you are that animal."* Neith is filled with remorse and fear. Faust is ok after coming to Neith, His personality is stabilized and Neith thought she cured him, but listening to this is filling her with nothing but regret.

She is stuck in between telling Faust about his disorder and leave him be, hoping he wouldn't go crazy with his other personality. If she tells him about the disorder, it would mess up his head where he could completely isolate himself from everyone.

"By the Auntie!" The words of Faust woke up Neith with a jerk, it's almost like a jump scare for her as she is deeply lost in her thinking.

"are you okay aunt?" Faust asks with while worrying about Neith.

"Ah, it's okay, I'm just" Neith turns back and the back of her elbow pushes a jar of flour behind her.  

Before the jar hit the floor and break, it disappears. Neith who almost had a mini heart attack due to the jar is now settled and looks at Faust. The jar is safe on the table.

"*His teleportation speed increased. He must've gone beyond limits again. This makes sense now. His personality changes when he exerts his eyes."* Neith observes Faust's skills and tries to depict what has happened at the purge. 

*"I shouldn't have sent him to the purge."* 

"What happened auntie? Why do you look worried and bothered?" Faust couldn't help but wonder and asks Neith.

"Nothing at all, don't I look normal?" Neith tries to act normal, but her hands are shaking out of anxiety and her breathing increases.

"Anyway, auntie, I need a favor from you. I have some elemental stones and I want you to come with me to sell them at a high price." Faust asks Neith.

"I can spare a few of my working hours for you, but remember we can only go there in daylight. There will be lots of powerful guys trying to rob people at nights." Neith replies while adding a pinch of salt to the flour before her.

"We shall go in the coming Sat.u.r.day then. I will go to school tomorrow and inform my princ.i.p.al that I have come back." Faust tells her.

-

"Yo! Aion." Faust waves at Aion, while waiting near the gates of the school which his back leaning against the wall.

"Faust, you are back already?" Aion casually asks as he approaches Faust and with his arm raised with his fist balled, travelling at Faust.

Both of them are gone for a fist b.u.mp. "Tsk, at least smile for my return you heartless b.a.s.t.a.r.d." Faust says in an annoying tone.

"Oh, look at this, captain's cloak but senpou cla.s.s? They only gave you Senpou cla.s.s? " Aion asks in a surprise.

"Huh? Then what? Am I a general or what?" Faust asks back.

"If they knew that you are my friend then would have given you Ten (Heaven Cla.s.s)." Aion displays a smirk on his face and starts running while Faust runs after him.

As Faust takes a few steps inside the school, he is stopped by the appearance of a tall figure before him. "So you have come back?" Awarnach, the senior and one of the strongest few in the school appears before him.

"Uh, wait! I know you from before don't I?" Faust asks.
