DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

"Ever since then…" Teresa paused, not knowing the appropriate words to use after telling Davies of Tisha's past, but the words did not need to be said.

It was obvious that due to the trauma of her parents' lives being ripped away, she had an aversion to killing.

This was probably the reason why she wore the selective earbuds. The selective earbuds as the name suggests, were earbuds that could block out selective sounds; they could be calibrated to block a particular person's voice or a particular type of sound.

Of course, the reason why Davies recognized them was that he was the one that invented them.

Tisha probably used it to block the sounds made by the flesh of any monsters attacked by her teammate.

Teresa thought all this as she looked at Davies's figure as he sat on the log, seemingly deep in thought after hearing Tisha's story.

But in reality, Davies was scoffing inwardly,

'What a noob,' those were his first thoughts after hearing about her tragic past.

It wasn't that Davies hated her for being mentally weak after such a past. It was that he was no longer capable of something like sympathy.

Sympathy was something that the weak felt when they heard about an experience that they could not imagine themselves going through… unfortunately Davies had gone through worse, so this kind of situation felt like a walk in the park.

Not to mention that for someone who had gone through the things he had gone through some of their emotions must be either messed up, dampened, or dead, and in Davies's case, sympathy was one of the first of his emotions that died.

It was not something he could change, though he wished it was some of his other emotions that had died instead…

Now, if Davies wasn't feeling sympathy, then why was he so deep in thought?

Naturally, it was because his curiosity had peaked even further,

'If she has such an aversion to the sound of tearing flesh, then why doesn't she seem to mind looking at blood?'

'Also, if she has such an aversion to killing, why is she even bothering to enter gates?'

'And, who the hell recruited her for this kind of job when she doesn't even bother to kill monsters?'

All these were the questions going through Davies's mind as he sat, deep in thought. That last question especially gave him a headache.

'Who the hell was recruiting weird people who seemed unsuitable for their jobs!?'

As Davies sat there wondering about all these things and trying to decide on whether he should ask the busty wind controller or if he should do a more detailed investigation of Tisha when he got outside the gate, Teresa began to speak again, it seemed she still had something left to say.

"The strangest thing is her powers go up another notch when she comes into contact with blood…"

Davies's head immediately shot up when he heard that,

"What was that you said?" he immediately asked, barely managing to keep his excitement from appearing in his voice.

"Her abilities seem to increase in power whenever she comes in contact with blood, though it always makes her go berserk," she repeated her previous statement with more clarity.

"Also, she hates coming into contact with blood for obvious reasons though she can cope with looking at it from a distance," she continued, but Davies was no longer listening to her as his thoughts were going crazy.

Not many knew about this matter, but some Megas have some type of hidden conditions in their blessing that can cause their blessing to increase in rank if they can find it and solve it.

Why find it and solve it?

Though humanity did not know the reason why, all the blessings given to a specific person had a very close tie to either the person's personality or the person's past experiences or even something much deeper.

There was no such thing as a wrong blessing as every blessing was perfectly fitted for its bearer's nature.

It was why every human with a blessing had a naturally high affinity with their blessings and it was easy for them to learn how to use it after activating it, but even though every Mega had a high affinity with their blessing, the affinities still varied and some were higher than the other, allowing for even easier use of their blessing's abilities.

Davies had a perfect affinity with his blessings so controlling them was as simple as breathing, but it was not the same with everyone.

What made Tisha's situation special was that, if a blessing had a hidden condition, then it was not at its full capacity and was being held back by something that plagued its bearer, and if it was solved then her blessing would increase in rank and so will her affinity with her blessing.

This was a golden egg!

After all, her blessing was already ranked S-class, so even if it increased by only one rank, then it would be an SS-rank blessing.

But despite that fact, Davies had a bitter smile because he knew it was a nigh impossible task.

'It really is a bad joke,'

'It just had to have something to do with blood,' he thought bitterly.

Davies knew that unlike a lot of idiots made it seem like, getting over trauma was not a simple walk in the park. He was living proof of that, though he did not show it.

It was one of the reasons why he still had nightmares. Of course, one could argue that his experiences were way worse than hers, but that didn't make the job any easier.

But since he already found out about this, he wasn't just going to let such an opportunity go, so he decided to ask all the questions on his mind so he could at least have a better knowledge of the situation.

"Why does she even do this kind of work in the first place?" he asked Teresa.

"Well, you pay a lot, boss," Teresa said with a chuckle but continued,

"After losing their parents, Tisha and her brother were brought to Yorkshire and dumped in one of the so-called orphanages by the MPA officers,"

"I'm guessing I don't need to tell you about the living conditions of those places, so the moment she awakened her blessing, and the Imperium League scouted her with promises of high pay and such, she took the offer of a better life for her little brother,"

"I don't know what she did earlier today, but please don't be too hard on her," she finished and began to head back inside the house.

'Someone with a past like that, yet still believes in things like happiness and humanity and not even thinking about revenge or anything along that line,'

'She really is a noob,' Davies sighed heavily as he also began to move towards the icehouse, he'd deal with this matter later, when there weren't over 6000 monsters for him to kill.
