Chapter 10

Me and Leon patrolled Simpsonville and we killed a few Exorcist here and there,
Leon gave me zero help so when a Exorcist pulled a handgun on me it was purely up to me and skill to dodge,
I got shot a few times in the lunges, the heart, my legs and arms but not my head. Luckily I was able to heal like Wolverine from X Men but outside of that Leon told me under no circumstances should I leave myself open for a headshot.
Their bullets maybe dipped in holy water and blessed by a priest but for someone of my power level and durability, a headshot would kill me.
We ventured further into the back roads of Simpsonville and hit neighborhoods notorious for drug deals and cought a pair of ordinary men in business suits asking around for suspicious activity,
stench of blood,
etcetera,
then concluded with a scan coming from their sunglasses.

"I'll take the guy on the left, you get the guy on the right."
Leon says as wind picks up and he forms a ball made of wind, building pressure in it as he charges it up,
I form a bow the way Anton tought me and three arrows,
we both fired,
the Exorcist on the left explodes from being hit by Leon's pressurized wind canon of sorts and my Exorcist explodes the second my shadow arrows touched him.
Leon bags what's intact of their bodys then puts them away in thin air and it's gone, no stench of blood,
no evidence, just gone.

"How the hell did you do that?" I asked. "What Penny and Anton not teach you? Ughhhh I always have to clean up behind them. Alright rookie it's called a pocket dimension, some people also call them hammer space, basically you link your weapon or bags of items with your aura and you store them within your aura, via your space. Sounds complicated but it's not." Leon then proceeds to walk me through the steps to putting things in amd out of my pocket dimension.
"Thanks man, that's useful."

I say as I store their swords and guns in my pocket dimension.
"Thank me by staying alive byond two more weeks, also those shirasayas and chiappa rhino hand guns you have there, don't touch the metal it's been dipped in holy water and blessed by a priest, it'll cut through your skin and bones like a hot knife through butter, your skin will melt at best."
Huh, noted. At 7 o'clock Leon passes me off to Anton,
in Greenville the place was crawling with Exorcist everywhere,
bars, fast food restaurants,
expensive restaurants,
cell phone stores,
all stores for that matter and walking casually on the streets with their swords sheathed on their sides with the occasional police officer asking them why they're carrying weapons out in public.

It was like staring into the heart of a hornet nest,
Anton goes on the move and forms wings out of shadows and flies through the air, I soar after him and we servey the city inside and out,
took out a few Exorcist here and there, Anton actually backing me up to make sure I don't get shot but he doesn't over protect me either.
By midnight we all met back up at the base we call home and made our reports. "Amazing results, as expected, so everyone, what's your opinion of the new guy?"

Penny voices that she trained me how to spot Exorcist,
no practical field training from her and that she would like to get a feel for me out in the field, Leon and Anton on the other hand vouched for my field training and said I'm ready to start covering cities on my own so long as I fight at most two Exorcist at a time, anything more would overwhelm me.
"I see, Penny, tomorrow night you two get the graveyard shift, 7pm to 6am, I want all cities patrolled, I want a detailed report and I expect some Exorcist deaths in there. Go on get some sleep now."

Everyone returns to their rooms and I crash for the evening,
I like this feeling despite the pain that came with it,
I really do feel like I have my own little family here,
I get to watch tv,
I get food, of course I'll be pitching in but that's to be expected and best of all they pay me to stick around and work for them.
The place isn't exactly what I imagined myself living in but oh well,
I'm living the dream life,
I slept like a baby on the couch and slept until 4pm then me and Penny were up and active,
