“There she is!”
“The monster!”
A group of thugs moved in on a woman, attacking her as she tried to defend herself with her arms crossed in front of her. Ryota saw this movement growing day by day since the attacks. IT grew a sour taste in his mouth as he watched how 3 adult men charged at the poor thing.
One of them had a makeshift weapon and charged at her, seemingly using electromagnetism. “Please! Please don’t hurt me!” She pleaded as she got hit multiple times already, grunting and groaning with every shot that got her. Once she was down on the ground, arms crossed in front of her face, she spoke once more.
“I am begging you!” And she peeked from behind her arms, tears already stinging her eyes. “Let me go!” Her voice shaking, her body started to shake out of fear.
One man, wielding a knife, turned slightly inward, while the other used a makeshift mace. ’ Non chakra bearers huh…’ it finally clicked in Ryota’s mind as he finally stood up to do something against this.
“We see you for what you are!” The man with the makeshift cannon-like weapon yelled towards the woman who cowered once more. “And we are not going to let this town suffer for another day!”
To Ryota, this seemed to be the new reality… Once more, he donned the mask from the ANBU before actually dropping down, taking the hit of that weapon. ’ Not enough voltage to actually harm any muscles, hard enough to make them annoyingly twitch…’
“Listen… “ His voice was cold as he stood there now firm in front of the woman, who in turn didn’t even dare to look up anymore. “Please calm down.” Ryota started as he watched the two others flinch for a second, lowering a little of their weapons.
“I totally understand that a night like this makes you extra nervous, especially to see if there could be another attack… But look at this woman.” He pointed out to her, and he could see all the weapons lower right after. “She shows no sign of hostility to you or anyone.” It was then that the people really saw the woman for what she was. Just a person who couldn’t control their abilities and was trying to live a normal life. They clicked their tongues. “People like her shouldn’t even be at the streets!”
After they left… Ryota turned around and patted her head. “There now… You are safe.” It was only then that she let it all out. Her weeping got louder, and Ryota stayed till the woman calmed down again to move forward home.
“ I wonder… Was this also the way you wanted things to go?” He asked out loud in a sigh, before vanishing into thin air.
