Yeah buddy!

Rolled 65 (1d100)

It begins

>>1226815
Som I'm going to kick your ass. I'm not going to kick your ass.

The rest of the day passes without incident, and when you finish your classes, you simply make your way outside, finding Damon already waiting for you, holding a book in one hand, and wearing a pencil on his ear.

Hearing running footsteps behind you, you turn your head and see Aria making her approach, stopping beside you and looking toward your friend.

"So, where do we start?" the boy asks.

>A. Ask if he knows any place where you can train in private

>B. There should be a park somewhere, right? Why not go there?

>C. Toss him the spyglass and tell him to start by training with it

>D. Something else

>>1226849
>>A. Ask if he knows any place where you can train in private

>>1226849
>A. Ask if he knows any place where you can train in private
A loner's gotta know some deserted wastelands.

>>1226849
>D. Ask Aria where they should begin, she's got the most experience out of the three of them.

Also just wanted to put this out there, we talked about doing a spirit punch move, but Aria(Som) said that we'd just be wasting energy and that the spirit gun was stronger anyways.

So how about this. We focus energy into the knuckle of our middle finger, so that when we punch that energy is still coming from a pin point source and we unleash it to fuck up our enemies?

>>1226849
>>A. Ask if he knows any place where you can train in private

>>1226863
It's not that it would waste energy, it would still be far stronger than a normal punch, but it would not be as strong as a Spirit Gun, and would drain energy over time

>>1226862
Does my ID not have colour to anyone else?

>>1226872
It does, but it's like the same fucking color as the board. Sweet color catch bro.
>>1226870
Not if we only use it when we make contact with enemies? But that's cool, just an idea.

>>1226872
Switch your style to something else, like Photon or Tomorrow, one hell of a coincidence though

>>1226863
I thought it'd be nice to create a really dense and hard but small shell of reiki, then use the majority of the energy that would normally go into just a wave of energy to propel that shell at incredible speed, a literal spirit bullet.
It would require fine control of our energy though.

>>1226875
Fug, i'm partially blind so i'd never have noticed

>>1226879
Could also try Spirit Shout or something. Just wanna' make our shruggin' snowflake have a unique attack.

>>1226858
>>1226869
"Do you know anywhere that we can train in private?" you ask him.

"Well, the library parking lot, maybe," he tells you. "Nobody really goes there anymore besides me and old people. Or we could try the park, or maybe the woods outside of town."

>A. Library

>B. Park

>C. Woods

>D. Something else

>>1226889
>C. Woods
That's where we'll run into the cultists and twelve-year olds trying to set shit on fire.

>>1226895
This, supporting

>>1226895
And monsters, don't forget the monsters

>>1226904
C'mon Som, everyone knows monsters ain't real.

>>1226889
>C. Woods
Do we have that knife still?

>>1226925
Good idea, we can use that as a focus for him. Like,
>"Don't let the blade out, just hold the handle and imagine the blade being out, when you've got that image pour some spirit energy into the knife."

>>1226889
>C. Woods

>>1226895
>>1226925
"Let's go to the woods," you tell him.

Damon looks as if this were the last option he wanted you to pick, but nonetheless, he leads the way, guiding you away from the school, and taking you toward the woods just outside of town, on the opposite side from where you returned with Aria that first night.

You don't go in too far, Damon seeming nervous straying from the forest edge. Aria finds a log and takes a seat on top of it, sitting back and watching you and Damon.

Damon takes the pencil off his ear, and gets ready to take notes.

"Okay, how do we start?" he asks.

>A. First thing's first, save the notes until after the training

>B. Tell him that you want him to hit you as hard as he can

>C. Toss him the spyglass, tell him to count to fifty, then use it to find you

>D. Tell him to give the Spirit Gun a try

>E. Shrug

>F. You don't know

>G. Something else

>>1226964
>B. Tell him that you want him to hit you as hard as he can
Combat training #1

>>1226964
>E. Shrug
>B. Tell him that you want him to hit you as hard as he can

>>1226964
>C. Toss him the spyglass, tell him to count to fifty, then use it to find you

>>1226964
this >>1226975

>>1226964
>C. Toss him the spyglass, tell him to count to fifty, then use it to find you

Probably better to go for the direct route and find out how much spiritual energy he has right now.

We need to train our own skills, why are we wasting time with this dude

>>1226993
Didn't need to go to the woods for that

>>1226994
Because comrades save your ass

>>1226994

You shrug. "I want you to hit me as hard as you can."

Damon looks at you like you're insane. "You want me to hit you?"

You nod. "As hard as you can."

Damon looks toward Aria, who just gives him a shrug.

"I say go for it," she tells him, watching with interest to see what the other boy will do.

Damon sighs, dropping his notebook to the ground, sliding his backpack off his shoulders, and putting the pencil back down. You get the feeling that he hasn't been in very many fights, at least not ones where he was able to defend himself.

"Okay," he tells you, breaking into a run and pulling back his right arm. "Just remember, you asked for it!"

His hand clenches into a fist, and he punches you full-force in the face, throwing you off your feet and sending you sliding back in the dirt.

Sitting up, you wipe your thumb over your lip, finding a bit of blood on it. He's definitely stronger than he looks. That punch hurt, and threw you to the ground, so you'd imagine that he's stronger than the average person. Then again, you haven't been hit once since this whole mess started.

Damon seems rather surprised by what just happened, and stares down at his own fist with wide eyes, a smile slowly coming to his face.

"Wow," is all he says.

>A. Nice job

>B. Tell him to try using the Spirit Gun

>C. Tell him that now you're going to hit him

>D. Something else

>>1227031
>C. Tell him that now you're going to hit him.
Gotta' toughen him up.

>>1227031
>A. Nice job
>D. You've probably never tried to defend yourself if that suprised you. Your spirit energy makes you much stronger than a normal human.

>>1227031
>>A. Nice job
>>C. Tell him that now you're going to hit him

>>1227031
>A. Nice job
>C. Tell him that now you're going to hit him

Oooooh, what if we stop our fist right before it touches his face?

>>1227031
>>C. Tell him that now you're going to hit him

>>1227057
For what purpose?

>>1227077
I don't know, like how sometimes in anime guys do that, and there's a big gust of wind?

>>1227080
You know he'll make us roll for it though, as if we don't know our own range.

>>1227086
Implying we're not gonna' roll for punching Damon.

>>1227055
>>1227049
"Nice job,' you tell him as you pick yourself back off the ground. "But now, I'm going to hit you."

Damon gulps. "U-uh, you're gonna-"

Rushing forward, you pull back your right arm, clenching your hand into a fist, and giving Damon an uppercut to the stomach, throwing him off of his feet and sending him crashing to the ground.

Damon clutches his stomach, groaning in pain. Rolling onto his stomach, he pushes himself up,his arms shaking a bit as he stands on his feet and faces you, looking as if he's already recovered.

>A. Tell him that he took a punch better than the other people you've beaten up

>B. See? He's tougher than he thought

>C. Tell him to give the Spirit Gun a try

>D. Give him the spyglass and tell him to use it to work on his Spirit Energy

>E. Something else

>>1227100
>B. See? He's tougher than he thought.
>D. Give him the spyglass and tell him to use it to work on his Spirit Energy.
We know he's strong, but does he have stamina?

>>1227100
>>A. Tell him that he took a punch better than the other people you've beaten up
>E. "You're also the only person to even make me bleed, well, except for doctors"

>B. See? He's tougher than he thought

>>1227109

Oh, and we eventually need to get that money from Koenma.,

>>1227100
>B. See? He's tougher than he thought.
>D. Give him the spyglass and tell him to use it to work on his Spirit Energy.

>>1227116
The cheque is in the mail

>>1227113
>>1227109
>>1227106
"See?" you ask. "You're tougher than you thought. You took a punch a lot better than the other people I've fought. You're also the only person to even make me bleed, except for doctors."

"Actually, your file makes mentions of schoolyard scrapes you got into as a little kid," Aria pipes up. "Ye bled in a few of those."

Sighing, you reach into your pocket and retrieve the spyglass, tossing it toward Damon, who catches it.

"Practice with this, work on your Spirit Energy," you tell the boy.

"Alright," he tells you, glancing toward Aria, who is already covering her chest and glaring daggers toward him. "I'll see you in class tomorrow, then?"

>A. Yep

>B. Why don't you all get dinner somewhere?

>C. Tell him to try the Spirit Gun

>D. Something else

>>1227151
>>B. Why don't you all get dinner somewhere?

>>1227156
>>1227157
>>1227174
>>1227157
You give another shrug. "Why don't we all get dinner somewhere?"

"Oh, I know this great pizza place," Damon tells you, seeming almost excited. "It's actually not too far from here."

>A. You could go for some pizza

>B. Not really in the mood for pizza

>C. Invite them to your place

>D. Something else

>>1227220

>Parents see their son eating together with a female ginger and a meek boy.
>Have Aria introduce herself as the one that hired Will, solidifying our story that we work for a detective agency.

It's like you don't want us to look more popular, on top of having a iron clad alibi.

>>1227267
>>1227229
"Why don't we order from that place, and have them deliver to my house?" you suggest.

"That sounds great," Aria tells you, hopping off the log. "I'm sure yer parents are wonderful people."

"Alright," Damon says. "Give them a call and see what they want, then just give me the address and I'll order."

Calling home, you're answered by your mother, who seems thrilled that you'll be having friends over, saying that it was leftover night anyway and that some pizza actually sounds quite nice.

Damon calls the order in, and the three of you head for your home, arriving in no time, and entering the house to the sounds of your mother setting the kitchen table.

"Will, is that you?" your mother asks, apparently having the good sense not to call you "dear" in front of your friends.

>A. Yeah, mom

>B. Ask where dad is

>C. Bring your friends into the kitchen, and introduce them to your mom

>D. Take a seat on the couch and turn on the television

>B. Ask where dad is

>>1227314

Emphasis on "regular" so Aria knows we aren't talking the actual Spirit Detective business, but the cover up story.

>C. Bring your friends into the kitchen, and introduce them to your mom

>>1227321
"Yeah, mom, it's me," you answer, leading Aria and Damon to the kitchen.

Your mother has just finished setting the final plate when the three of you step in. She gives a friendly smile to both of your friends, with Aria readily returning it, followed by Damon, who at first seems a bit nervous.

"Mom, this is Damon and Aria," you introduce.

"Nice to meet you both," your mom says pleasantly.

"Aria here is actually the one who got me that office job at the detective agency," you tell your mother as you gesture to the girl.

Your mom walks over, her smile bigger. "Well, that was very kind of you, Aria. You work there too, I'm assuming?"

Aria nods. "Yes, I'm an assistant there as well."

Your mom's brow furrows for a moment. "That accent. Is your family Irish?"

Aria nods. "Yes, we just moved here recently."

"Well, it's great to meet you," your mom says before looking over at Damon. "And Damon, very nice to meet you as well."

Damon lowers his head. "Thank you, ma'am."

"Where's dad?" you ask your mom.

"Upstairs," she answers. "He'll be down for dinner in just a bit. Until then, can I get you all anything to drink?"

"You wouldn't happen to have orange juice, would ye?" Aria asks with a smile.

"Why, yes we do," your mother answers, heading for the refrigerator. "Will? Damon?"

"A glass of water, please," Damon requests.

>A. Water

>B. Orange Juice

>C. A soda

>D. Nothing

>E. Ask how long ago Damon called the order in

>>1227380
Milk works for me.

>>1227440
>>1227442
>>1227385
"Milk, please," you tell your mother, going to take a seat.

Before you reach the chair, however, the doorbell rings, telling you that dinner has arrived.

"Would you mind getting that, dear?" your mother asks. "I left money on the counter."

Picking up the money, you go to the front door, opening it to reveal Rachael, now dressed in more casual clothes and holding the pizzas. She seems surprised to see you, but offers a friendly smile.

"Hey, Will," she greets before going over your order and telling you the price.

>A. Tell her it was good to see her

>B. Ask if she'd like to come in and eat

>C. Pay her and go back to the kitchen

>D. Something else

>>1227449

>>1227472
>>1227476
>>1227479
"It was good to see you," you tell the girl, handing her the money, plus a reasonable tip.

"You too," she replies, handing you the pizzas. "Have a nice night."

Returning to the kitchen, you enjoy a pleasant meal with family and friends. Damon was right, the pizza is great, and you make a note to get food from that place again sometime.

When time has passed, and your friends have left, you say goodnight to your parents and go up to bed, falling asleep rather quickly. After a restful night, you wake up and go to school as normal, only to see something unexpected partway there.

Damon and Kevin are fighting.

No, that's not really a good description. Kevin's on the ground, battered and bloody, and Damon is holding him by the collar, punching him repeatedly even as he makes no effort to fight back.

"And this is for last Tuesday!" Damon shouts, slamming his fist into Kevin's face.

>A. Go ask what's going on

>B. Tell Damon that Kevin's had enough

>C. Tell Damon to stop it right now

Goddammit Damon.

>>1227572
Actually I support this instead.

>>1227407
Oh no nigga, what is it? Good news, your body will have a defense against it this time if it is the exact same. Should be better in a few days compared to what happened before. Unless you got a shitty situation and got the strain that is just a little different.

Sorry, just got through the immune system section in nursing school.

>>1227407
Shit man, kick that virus' ass!

>>1227572
>>1227575
Walking up to the two boys, you give Damon a light punch to the back of the head.

He looks back at you with a glare, though that vanishes when he realizes who it is.

"Oh, Will," he says before looking back at Kevin. "What's up?"

"He's had enough," you tell your friend, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Not even close," Damon tells you. 'Now that I know how strong I am, it's time to pay him back for all the crap he put me through over the years."

"Jesus Christ, man," Kevin groans. "You're nuts!"

Damon kicks him in the stomach. "Shut up."

>A. Wait, Damon, did you start this fight?

>B. Tell him that's enough

>>1227660
I support this

So cute, we made Damon into such an assertive young man, he got his first look at tiddies yesterday and won his first fight today thanks to our tuteladge.

We are going to be the best spirit detective ever!

Like Sensui except once we see Chapter Black our response will be "So.. what's the big deal, seen worse on 4chan." and then ask if it is a series and if they have any kleenex.

Adding taking kevin to the nurse to this.

I dont want us to scold Damon too bad, the kid looks like he was bullied to shit, and we know just how bad Kevin is, he attacks lone defenseless kids with a gang of goons.

Just because we beat Kevin, don't forget how dangerous he is to normal people and how much he probably deserves exactly what Damon is doing and more. If Kevin doesnt change his ways I wouldnt be surprised if some students big brother ends up leaving his body in a ditch or at the bottom of a river somewhere.

>>1227698
Second.

>>1227698
I agree this Anon, but don't you dare put that "You'll be just as bad as him" bullshit in.

>>1227698
>>1227674
True

>>1227712

Fair enough, I was thinking it might've been to preachy.

Just take Kevin to the nurse then, no preaching.

>>1227698
>>1227682
"Wait, Damon, did you start this fight?" you ask.

Kevin nods frantically, while Damon shrugs.

"I never did anything to him for years," Damon tells you. "But him and his asshole friends still came after me. Now he can see what it feels like."

"That's enough," you tell your friend sternly.

"Not yet," Damon says, raising his fist for another blow.

"Look, just knowing you're stronger should be enough," you tell Damon. "Beating him like this when he can't defend himself? How is that better than what he did to you?"

"Who says it is?" Damon asks, glancing back at you. "But I think it's fair. Besides, it's just a one and done deal. I'm gonna beat him until he never even looks at me wrong again."

>A. Tell him that if he punches Kevin again, you punch him

>B. Sounds reasonable

>C. Point out that he'll be late for class

>D. Offer to take Kevin to the nurse

>E. Offer to help Kevin get to a hospital

>F. Shrug and walk away

>G. Something else

>>1227764
>G. "Okay man, you're really starting to sound like a super villain right now. "I'm gonna' beat him until he never looks at me wrong again?", who talks like that? Next thing you know you're gonna' start forcing yourself on girls even if they turn you down. Now seriously, knock it off and go to class. I'm gonna' take Kevin to the nurse."

This

>>1227764
>>A. Tell him that if he punches Kevin again, you punch him
>>G. "Its pretty easy to lose yourself in power, if you start abusing it, i get the feeling my boss won't be all that pleased about it, and i've broken fingers for my job, well, not MY fingers, but, y'know"

>>1227764
>B. Sounds reasonable
D. Offer to take Kevin to the nurse

Don't fall for the bullshit and side with Keven for God sake please.

Bullying is not like it is in the cartoons, Kevin definitely is the type to deserve this. I mean I don't think he is beyond redemption, but if I got to beat the shit out of the bully that used to come after me it would have been great. Unfortunately if I ever did I would have gotten a wrathof shit from the school, because bullies are innocent gorgeous angel babies, and victims are satan incarnate. Oddly, when I switched schools and picked a couple guys who where fucking with me off the ground by their wrist, people stopped fucking with me.

What I am saying is, Damon isn't doing anything wrong. Yeah by Highschool PSA's he is a horrible monster who is going to start smoking marijuanas and talking to girls of loose morals! But in reality he is just a poor bullied kid trying to defend himself and make the torment, beatings, and humiliation stop. Just so happens overwhelming strength is a good way to do that.

>>1227802
The first thing he did when given x-ray goggles is look at a girl's breasts despite knowing it was wrong.

Being weak or shy doesn't make you good. It doesn't stop you from being bitter and twisted up and entitled. I mean... you go to 4chan you dense motherfucker, surely you must know that by now?

Strong protect the weak.

>>1227823
True

>>1227802
Fair point

>>1227802
I mean, i agree Kevin isn't a good person and probably deserves this, but in no way is what Damon saying reasonable, because at this rate someone is going to bring a gun to school, whether Damon would of snapped w/o learning of Spirit powers or Kevin will after this, we need to rein him/both of them in

>>1227764
>G. And how exactly are you gonna determine that? When he gets a concussion? Also you really wanna do this in broad daylight? Is he really worth getting suspended, or even arrested?

>>1227764
>G: Look down at the bloodied Kevin and say "I think you've accomplished that already"

>>1227764
>>A. Tell him that if he punches Kevin again, you punch him

It's apparently the only way to get it across.

>>1227783
>>1227796
"Okay, man, you're starting to sound like a super villain here," you tell Damon. "You're gonna beat him until he never looks at you wrong again? Who talks like that? Next thing you know you're gonna start forcing yourself on girls who turn you down."

Damon looks back at you, disgusted. "Why the Hell would I ever do that? This bastard's been beating me up for years, I think one ass-kicking is more than fair payback."

You give him an irritated look. "Seriously, dude, knock this shit off and go to class. I'm taking Kevin to the nurse."

Damon heaves a heavy sigh, and does as you say, letting go of Kevin, and heading for class after giving him one last glare.

Once Damon's gone, you help Kevin up and aid him in walking toward the school.

"T-thanks," Kevin groans. "I thought he was gonna kill me."

>A. Tell him that maybe he should be careful about bullying people

>B. You doubt Damon would have gone that far

>C. Shrug

>D. Don't mention it

>E. Ask where his friends were

>F. Something else

>>1227764
>>1227853
Pretty much this. Threatening to punch Damon will only make the situation devolve further because he'll see it as taking Kevin's side. Even I know that, and I'm pretty sure Damon is a pretty big creep in the making.

>>1227872
>>C. Shrug

>>1227872
>B. You doubt Damon would have gone that far

>>1227872
>C. Shrug
>E. Where's your friends Kevin?

>>1227872

>F. "A little while ago, he probably did too."

>>1227872
>>A. Tell him that maybe he should be careful about bullying people

>>1227888
>>1227880
"Maybe you should be more careful about bullying people," you tell Kevin.

He sighs. "Yeah..."

"Where were your friends?" you ask as the two of you continue toward the school.

Kevin looks down. "They ditched me as soon as Damon started wailing on me."

Some friends.

Not saying anything else, and ignoring the strange looks that others are giving you, you help Kevin into the school, and take him to the nurse.

>End Updates

That's it for tonight, everybody. I hope you all had fun.

Don't worry, we'll be back to demon hunting soon enough

Follow me @qmdralo to see when I'm running

As always, I'll hang out for a while

>>1227962
thanks

>>1227962
Tournament when?

>>1227980
We'll see

There's no way I can measure up to the Dark Tournament arc.

>>1227962
thanks for running

>>1227991
Not with that attitude

>>1228001
It was the greatest tournament in anime history

>>1227994
Thanks for playing

>>1228006
It ties with the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament for me, but yeah it's pretty good.

Just think though Som, you get to make all those cool OC's. That's like half the fucking reason I QM, is making up characters.

>>1228006
Is the school considering Will an enigma at this point?

>>1228021
True enough

>>1227979
You're welcome

I kinda want Kevin to become a member of the cast just for the dynamic. we need 5 for the dark tournament anyway (or whatever replaced it) so we gotta start recruiting

>>1228180
>Will

>Damon (maybe)

>Kevin (maybe)

Keep at it

>>1228195
don't forget Aria

>>1228199
Do you really intend to make her that strong? Because she's going to need some serious training if she's expected to even survive the boat-ride to the Dark Tournament.

>>1228209
maybe you're right. tough fight-capable waifu when?

>>1228214
Maybe when you interact with some other Spirit Detectives; a few of them are women.

You know I've always liked the idea of regular animals gaining super powers and becoming actual members of the team.

>>1228222
how many of them are cute though?

>>1228224
Depends what you mean by "cute"

>>1228223
I mean, that's sort of what Kurama did

>>1228241
nah Kurama was always a spirit fox he had sentience from the beginning and could turn into that silver fox-man at will

and cute as in cute not hot or sexy. you know, anime cute

>>1228248
He was an animal spirit that became a demon over time, or whatever.

And sorry, probably no talking animal sidekicks

Yeah and we would have done that if we could have figured out an excuse too. Anyone with a penis would have done that faced with an x-ray monocle and a cute redhead so shut the fuck up.

>>1227872
Awww pooor buwwy!!!!

Do you want all my money and to fuck my mother too Kevin?

Do you want me to give you a handjob while I suck on your wounds?

Great, so we definitely just went the fuccboi route by even talking to "poow wittle innocent Kebin" as we hall his broken ass to the nurse.

Totally forgetting this guy tried to rob us and would have beaten us nearly to death the first fucking day of class if it hadnt been for our powers.

Ohwell, lets spreadem and let Kevin jam it all up in there with no lube, how about we tell him about Spirit Energy, give him the Spyglass, and ask if he wants our lunch money too.

I would be fine with helping him to the nurse if we where a little less friendly to this piece of shit and a little less of a piece of shit to our friend.

>>1227991

Also thanks for running, I enjoyed it and like the story, I just fucking hate Kevin and cant wait for him to end up with a knife in the neck courtesy of some guilt free plot development or I guess total redemption, still would prefer the throat cutting but ohwell.

I don't know SOM.

Apparently school bullying is a sore subject with a few of your readers.

So how badly is Damon going to villain out?

I mean... we all know it's coming, I'm just asking for magnitude.

You seem pretty dead set against Aria the fighter, any specific reason?

Any chance we can participate in an investigation with other Detectives soon?

I know anons ignored Steph (oh god I probably got her name wrong) but maybe if we are working closely with her we can learn a few tricks?

What's the deal with (um) Sally (?) the girl we saved. She seemed a bit standoffish considering everything. Of course she probably expected us to be a creep about it, but then we weren't.

Should I go back and watch YYH? I never finished it.

>>1229058
Jesus, hang in there, anon

>>1229137
I'm not against Aria becoming a fighter, but she's not a natural warrior, if that makes sense. So, making her a fighter that can keep up with the team will take a lot of work, though it won't be impossible.

Eventually

Maybe

Sally's grateful to you for saving her, she just isn't necessarily what you would call a people person, at least not genuinely.

Depends how far in you were when you stopped

>>1229897
You know what, I was going to shitpost, but I like this quest too much, please remove yourself.

You are either a female with a major misunderstanding of how teenage males act or want to act, or you are a seriously brainwashed male.

If I was 15 again and given an item that could see through clothes by a super hot redhead, my first thought would be about just how much of her goodies I could see.

As an adult I can see how that is terrible and would definitely refrain from doing that, but I cannot blame a teenager for trying to see some tiddies when they are basically thrown at them. Sure it isnt a saintly action, but it is better than trying to beat someone nearly to death for not giving you enough money, but then again I guess that is the difference between understanding teenage stupidity and being a total Kevin-fag.

I really hope Kevin and his goons get killed with no redemption, just to create butthurt with you kevin-lovers.

hey somnius, how would you feel about running shaman king, if the mc dies you could keep running the quest because they could be one of 3 things, they could become a spirit that can be used, they could become one of those zombies with a seal on their face or they could be reincarnate an have to start again.

>>1230145

>>1230159
>Pulls out blade of Titty Sight
>Prepares shield of Kevin Fucking

Come at me!!!

I honestly am probably reading way too far into the characters, but as someone who remembers what it was like to be a bullied teenager I really understand what Damon is going through and I dont see it as Supervillain foreshadowing so much as "Hahaha I am king in the castle I have a chair, I am no longer lowest on the shit totem pole" kind of feeling.

Yeah Damon may have gone a bit overboard, but a teenager wanting to see some hot gril tity's and beat up his bully does not make a "OMG we need to murder our friend before he goes overboard and slays MECHA-JESUS and dooms humanity>!!>!>!!>!" like so many people seem to be gearing up to do.

>>1230185
You're pretty much right. Damon suddenly had the power to get back at somebody who tormented him for years, and he took it. Was it necessarily the right thing to do? No. Did he go overboard? Sure. Is it understandable? I think so

And seriously, half the anons voted to peek at Aria as soon as you got the spyglass, I'm not sure what the judgement here is about

>>1230159
Also Shaman King is pretty cool, you use your magic ghost seeing powers to convince ghosts to fight with you against other ghost fighters, and then you beat the ultimate ghost fighter and I assume become God or something.

You got Shamans who equip ghosts, and Necromancer chicks who kill Bruce Lee and ressurect him as a battle zombie and stuff.

I am remembering this from like 10-12 years ago.

>>1230185
I don't think anyone wants to 'kill Damon', just rein him in a little, rather than take out that anger on Kevin he could put it to better use and take it out Demons

>>1230126
>tfw bullies tend to have few friends, shitty lives, shitty parents and a shitty upbringing and take it out on others

I know! I mean honestly I feel like at least half the posts secretly want to lewd Aria.

Ahem, I may secretly want to lewd Aria but I will save that for writefaggotry and such.

I just dont want to see these players go full psycho and lynch Damon for looking at boobs and punching Kevin.

Hell I am not entirely sure this was precipitated by Kevin starting something and Damon just not giving a shit and punching his shit. Been a bit since I re-read the quest and if we got an answer whether Damon started the fight or not.

We back

>>1230635
Yeah buddy!

>>1230635
heck yeah

>>1230635
Can we get that spyglass back and peek at girls now?

Getting Kevin to the nurse takes a significant bit of time, and by the time you've delivered him there safely, you've already missed homeroom. Rushing to make it to class, you once again run into a pretty blonde, knocking both of you to the floor and causing her to drop a stack of papers all over the floor.

"Dammit!" Sally shouts, hurrying to gather the papers. "Do you have any idea how long it took me to-oh, it's you again."

The furious look on her face dissipates a bit when she recognizes you, though she still looks rather annoyed.

"So, is this going to be an every day thing?" she asks, half-teasingly as she gathers up her things.

>A. Help her

>B. Apologize

>C. Looks that way

>D. Ask what this is

>E. Leave her and go to class

>F. Something else

>>1230671
>>C. Looks that way

>>1230671
>A. Help her

>>1230671

>>1230665
Damon has it

>>1230685
>>1230681
>>1230688
>>1230685
"Looks that way," you tell her, giving a playful wink as you bend down to help her gather up her papers. "Not that I mind."

Sally gives a little chortle at that. "I'll bet. But I don't really appreciate being knocked over, so try to tone it down a bit."

Once her papers are gathered, she gives you a little nod and runs off toward her class. You run to your own, making it just in time. Nobody really seems to care that you ran late today, though you do hear plenty of whispers about what happened with Damon and Kevin. Somehow, you doubt that Kevin will be able to live this down.

You don't see any sign of the boy on the way to lunch, but you do pass Rachael, who gives you a friendly hello as she makes her way to class. Arriving in the cafeteria, you find Damon sitting by himself, though students at other tables seem to be discussing him.

As you take a seat, Damon retrieves the Psychic Spyglass from his pocket, sliding it across the table at you.

"Thanks for letting me borrow this," he says to you. "Made me exhausted, but I slept like a baby after using it."

>>1230823
"No problem," you tell him, taking the spyglass and pocketing it. "So, did you get everything out of your system this morning?"

Damon crosses his arms, a serious expression covering his face as he nods at you. "Yeah, I did what I had to do. As long as Kevin doesn't bother me again, I'll leave him alone."

You suppose that's alright, but perhaps you should keep an eye on Damon, just in case he tries to pull something like that again.

"It's weird," he tells you, uncrossing his arms and opening and closing his hands. "I feel even stronger today than I did yesterday. I guess training with that spyglass really did help."

"It's an extremely basic form of trainin', but an effective one," Aria comments as she takes a seat beside you, sliding a folder over to you.

"You've got another case," she says, looking toward you.

>A. Why is she telling you about it in the cafeteria?

>B. Alright, what kind of case?

>C. Ask Damon if he'd like to tag along

>D. Something else

>>1230851
>B. Alright, what kind of case?
>>C. Ask Damon if he'd like to tag along

>>1230851

oh thank god! demons are infinitely better than high school

>>1230851
>B. Alright, what kind of case?
Not sure about Damon tagging along right away.

>>1230851
>B. Alright, what kind of case?
Let's find out what the case is like before we invite Damon anywhere, especially after this morning.

>>1230851
>>B. Alright, what kind of case?
Gotta know the issue before even guessing if Damon is capable of going

>>1230851
>A. Why is she telling you about it in the cafeteria?
>B. Alright, what kind of case?

>>1230889
>>1230891
"Alright, what kind of case?" you ask, sliding the folder in front of you.

Opening the folder up, you're greeted by the image of what looks to be scattered pieces of flesh and bone. Whoever this was, there's scarcely enough of them left to even tell that they were human, a lone ear the only confirmation that this was something other than an animal.

"Your town's police found him this morning," Aria explains. "They're assuming some sort of animal attack. But here's the thing; no soul came from that body."

You close the folder to find Aria giving you a serious look. "Sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?"

>A. Looks like somebody learned from Suldon not to leave a body for a soul to come back to

>B. You think this is probably whoever Suldon was working for/with

>C. Looks like you're cutting class today

>D. It can wait until after school

>E. Shrug

>A. Looks like somebody learned from Suldon not to leave a body for a soul to come back to

Not a good idea to leave a demon on the loose that is basically starting to eat people, let alone if there might be another victim while we wait for school to finish.

>>1230926
>B. You think this is probably whoever Suldon was working for/with
>C. Looks like you're cutting class today

>>1230960
>>1230965
"Looks like somebody learned from Suldon not to leave a body for a soul to come back to," you comment.

Aria nods. "But it raises the question of why Suldon didn't just rip your body apart, or trap your soul in some way."

Pushing the folder back to Aria, you stand up and stretch. "Well, it looks like I'm missing class today."

Aria gives you an approving look, standing up and grabbing her backpack. "It's best not to leave whoever's behind this on the loose, especially if they're connected to Suldon in some way."

"Wait, you guys are going after a Demon?" Damon asks with great excitement as he quickly gets on his feet. "Awesome, I want to come!"

>A. Alright

>B. No

>C. Something else

>>1230979
>C. Okay, but you're just going to be watching. Consider it a learning experience.

"Damon, it is still too soon. At the rate I'm getting cases though, and the fact you apparently aren't that far behind me sans no Spirit Gun, there is a good possibly that bringing you on the next Demon Hunt would be acceptable."
Not exactly like that, since I don't think it sounds too Will-y.

"Sure, but keep your distance and stay on guard," you tell him. "You're only going to be watching."

Damon looks like he wants to argue, but before he can make any kind of vocal protest, you speak up again.

"Consider it a learning experience," you tell him.

Damon relents, nodding in agreement. "Alright."

The three of you leave the cafeteria, and make your way off of the school grounds without anybody stopping you. As you make your way across town, you notice Aria studying you, a thoughtful look on her face.
