(BL) Hunting The Field Guide novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Are you fucking kidding me?

Warning : This Chapter does depict some graphic violence against others. If this would be triggering to you, I recommend you skip this Chapter. Stay safe.

"I didn’t realise all of you wanted to go to jail. There are easier ways." Kellen started, and that got everyone’s attention.

"J-Jail?" One of them squeaked out, one of the ones who was clearly regretting their actions, and Kellen nodded seriously, crossing his arms.

"Yes, jail. Are you even aware of what you fucking morons did?" Kellen felt his voice raise in volume and a few of them flinched.

"W-We did nothing wrong!" One of them had balls, Kellen thought. He clenched one of his hands tightly, before shifting on his feet.

"Nothing wrong? Are you fucking kidding me right now? We could charge you with attempted murder, on several accounts, and you would all get a full fucking sentence." One of the ghost white Guides started bawling.

"I-I never wanted to participate! They forced me!" They flung a finger behind them, pointing to a trio that had a mean look on their faces, in their eyes, and hadn’t seemed remorseful in the slightest.

"Oh? And what did they force you to do?" Kellen asked, and the Guide swallowed. They tried to gather themselves enough to speak again.

"T-They didn’t want us to guide the lower level Espers. Said it wasn’t worth our time. I-I never thought that-"

"That your actions would have consequences? That you would be held accountable for going along with someone’s plan who isn’t actually your fucking superiors?" Kellen moved until he was standing over the shaking pile of shit. The look in their eyes when they stared up at him was one of pure fear, mixed with surprise and horror as Kellen continued to speak.

"Or, was it the guilt? Because you had a chance to save them, but you didn’t guide them even then, so you must have agreed with them somewhere in your heart." Kellen looked over the group, disgusted. "Tell me, as Guides, do you think people who have a lower class than you are inferior to you?" He demanded, and there was silence. There was shame in some eyes, but most stared back at him defiantly. "Do you think they are worth less than you?" Again, the same people were ashamed, while the others didn’t give a goddamn. Kellen sighed.

"You’re all fucking awful. Let me make one thing very fucking clear. T is your privilege to have the powers that you do. It is not something you get to choose, it is something that you are inherently born with. No one gets preferential treatment in this. All of you were born with the capabilities of B Class, C Class Guides, and you are blessed to even have that. You are lucky that you sit in the Class you are in." One of the ring leaders snorted. They turned their head to the side, scoffing, before glaring at Kellen.

"Yeah, I don’t think you can say anything. You got to jump Classes. I’m sure someone helped you do that." Casper gasped behind Kellen, and Kellen held up his hand to stop anyone else from approaching. He wasn’t able to read power fluctuations, but that didn’t mean he was an idiot.

Kellen moved towards the woman who had spoken, and picked her up by her uniform with both hands before chucking her across the room. She screamed as she was airborne, before she landed on the ground, rolling and sobbing until she came to a stop. Even with the mats, it must have hurt. Kellen knew his own strength, and knew that she must have several, severe bruises. Maybe even a broken rib if he was lucky. He knew violence wasn’t the answer, not really, but at the same time, this bitch was supposed to be in his training program. She was supposed to be a Field Guide. He recognised her from the meeting.

She had wanted all the acclaim that came with being a Field Guide. The notoriety, the superiority of that title. At least, that was how she was viewing it. And Kellen, well, he was going to gracious enough to give her the treatment of one of his students who had fucked up. A last little gift just for her. And anyone else who opened their mouth and spewed bullshit.

Kellen picked her up again, and tossed her further into the room. He kept picking her up, and throwing her against the floor until she started bleeding. She was sobbing, screaming in pain, but Kellen didn’t feel a single ounce of regret. She was lucky he wasn’t kicking or punching her. She wouldn’t have withstood his hits without breaking her bones. Kellen had the urge to.

In fact, he wasn’t the only one. Several of the Espers in the room were glaring at the group of Guides too. Feeling that she wasn’t going to be a problem for the time being, he turned and strolled back to the group of Guides. They were all quaking in fear now, clearly horrified at what he had just done, but Kellen couldn’t bring himself to care. He wasn’t an almost murderer.
