Shoujo Hater

Luis took the cooked meat but he didn't start eating it.

Because he didn't trust that psycho kid.

And as Luis's brain started to think about what to do with that meat, whether he should throw it away or give it to someone who needed it, he started to walk and threw it to another hungry dog.

The dog didn't eat it and continued walking even though it needed to eat because its stomach was too hungry, but it didn't eat and fell dead from hunger as tears fell from it.

And that planted a seed of doubt.

But what Luis didn't know was that focusing on something useless like that was just Jester's doing, because he didn't want him to focus on what he was about to do.

Jester gradually gave him the uncooked meat and told Luis to give it to someone who needed it more, in a place with 50 people who were ready to eat someone alive, but under one condition: the person who took it should get out of there alive.

As Luis entered the area Jester had chosen, he saw a kid who was starving, and that was the first person Luis thought of checking. But the real secret was that Jester stood at a specific angle so Luis's sight would be directed to that kid.

And so Luis moved toward him, guided by unseen threads that Jester held.

As he stood five meters away from him, the smell that came from the uncooked meat suddenly spread through the small place, and it made everyone stand up to take it with their lives.

This place was called the Bury of Viremoor City, and it was made for people who had deadly diseases, people who didn't have long to live, people with missing limbs and scarred faces, and those who carried fatal diseases.

He thought the test was easy, but as he entered, the people who had been smiling at the food gradually stood and started lunging at Luis fast.

Luis activated a mana shield and started jumping. Gradually he realized that Jester had played him.

Kid Jester stood resting his head against a tree as he coughed blood.

"Ohhhh, it seems I won't last here long. She is forcing me to use my power."

Back to Luis, who was surrounded by people trying to take the meat from him. He kept jumping and deflecting every attack they used against him.

Gradually Jester stood and watched until five thugs had taken the poor kid to a corner. They began hitting him strongly. They were strong men beating a teenager.

"You are the son of that slut Cohane?"

They started kicking him from every direction. His body became bruised, his teeth fell out, and blood poured from every part of his body.

Every one of the diseased men stood laughing at the boy.

Until a psychotic laugh stopped them in their tracks.

"Haaaa....hahahaaaaa."

Jester slowly entered as he threw a knife to the boy, who was slowly embracing his death in despair.

As they turned, they saw the little five year old kid Jester.

Fear erupted and they began vomiting in a disgusting way, because on the surface he seemed like a harmless kid, but people who worked in the dark already knew who that kid really was.

Back in the past, when he was little, Jester had a strange title given to him by the people who worked with him.

It was the Faceless Monster of the Dark Skirt.

And he was pretty famous for his crazy deeds.

No one dared to move, because if that kid got mad they knew what would happen to them.

Last year, he had boiled a group of thugs and their leader in hot water, then fried them in oil and fed them to his dogs before their very eyes, because they had tried to mess with him after he threatened their sales in the meat industry.

And due to that scene, their lives had been destroyed. Because of what this little devil had done, it was a nightmare and a trauma that would keep living with them until eternity, and it may have even been one of the reasons why their actions started to seem very ill.

Jester slowly spoke. "I am giving you five seconds. Take this knife, cut two fingers from everyone standing here, and take your right back."

The boy looked at him, caught the knife, and stood.

He tried to run but as he did he fell, because that kid didn't have the courage to survive. His hunger and weak state were due to his mentality. He refused to kill or steal. He wanted to live peacefully in a dark place like that.

He tried to run, but collapsed before taking more than a few steps.

The boy's body wasn't what had failed him. His ideals had.

He refused to kill. Refused to steal. Refused to become the kind of creature this place demanded from him to survive.

And that's why He wished to live peacefully in a land where peace had died long ago.

A fish is not weak because it cannot cross a desert. But neither does the desert care whether the fish survives.

Gradually he fell, and the thugs began vomiting.

Jester sensed that Luis had finally come, so he decided to finish this scene of his theater dance.

"If you all kill this kid, I will let you all leave."

One of them lunged fast as he started charging.

Luis had already arrived. He saw the disgusting scene, and as he tried to save the boy and win the first deal, what he saw instead was the boy killed and everyone vomiting in a disgusting way.

He fell to the ground as he was vomiting too.

But he slowly regained his composure and grabbed Jester from his clothes.

"What did you do?"

He began hitting Jester hysterically.

Jester's eyes glowed crimson as he endured and felt nothing, and when he got bored, he hit him in the head, then put his Jester hat on.

"Didn't I tell you... Salvation is just a coin I invented. That is why I sell morals to all kinds of people."

"What are you trying to imply, you demon?"

"You already know that... Bad people attract good people. Good people turn bad people. Bad people make good people. And the cycle continues."

"No... that's impossible."

Dog meat. A farm. How could a little kid do these things? Luis jolted, asking.

"Oh, you finally caught it."

"It wasn't a memory."

Jester's little body suddenly grew to that of a fifteen year old boy.

"I will leave now. Your mother is pushing me to my limits. If I don't go all in, I will die."

"My Mom!!!!!!!!"

As Luis suddenly stopped, a realization dawned on him. Fear and worry gradually surged within him as he lunged at Jester, who slowly disappeared into the mist and fog.

"Damn it... I need to save my mum. That wasn't a test or a memory. That was the real Jester himself. How did he come here, and when did he arrive?"

And so Luis had caught Jester's plan, but the problem was that it was too late, because Jester had already manipulated him to buy time. He was already in two places: the first was fighting Luis's mother, and the second was the second test, which was all for his main plan.

And that leaves one question: why would Jester be in the library of knowledge?
