Chapter 29: Out of Town
Chapter 29: Out of Town
There are only a few days left before this month test, Sol had tried all he can to help his student prepare for the test.
Nerva become quite big as well, she now looks like 2 years old and quite mature already that Miya can already teach the class while Nerva sits alone, she seems to talk to herself.
"maybe she talks to Minerva" Sol muse.
Today Sol plans to go to the mountain to prepare his fight against Brutus, he had rent a snow car for his journey so he most likely will be back before dark.
"Sol, let's go together, Nya!" Miya begged Sol.
"Yup, Daddy needs to bring Nerva too!" his child won't let him leaves her.
"Miya, you need to teach the class for me, and Lil Princess, you will need to protect your Mom for me" Sol reasons with them.
"but, Nerva wants to protect daddy too!" Nerva hugged his leg.
Sol squats down and pats her head, " you want to play with Daddy like the big brother and sister at the school right? You need to go with your Mom to school so you can learn to be stronger" He persuades her.
"emm... Nerva wants to play with everyone." She noded.
The playing Sol talking about is him bullying his students during a sparring session, Nerva always wants to join in, she thought that bullying the students is a fun thing.
It was part of being a cat, cats like to play with their friend and their prey, cat hunt for fun not solely for the food.
After freeing himself from two clingy Catwoman, Sol directly uses the snow car to get out of town.
There is a very little number of traveler, the risk of meeting creatures are too big, it wasn't worth it to travel out of town.
Sol brings a handgun, his knife, a dozen bottle of anti-snake chemicals, and food for a few days in case he got stranded out of town for longer than his plan.
On his way, he met with some creature but he left them behind before they come close to him.
When he arrives under the mountain, he continues his way by foot, there are too many trees so the snow car won't be able to go fast and only attract more creatures with its sound.
Sol uses his white coat and finds that place but he can hardly differentiate between place because everywhere is covered in tree and snow.
It didn't take long for Sol to met his first creature, it's a werewolf. Normally he isn't a match for a werewolf but he had taken shooting practice since he gets back from the mountain so he can hit his enemy before it reaches him.
Sol raises his gun and shoots it, his first shot missed even though it's running in a straight line toward him.
On his third shot he hit it on its right foot, it seems to be scared off by it and run back into the mountain.
Sol didn't go after it, "Luckily it runs off, I don't want to fight to the death the first thing in the morning"
After an hour of looking for that place he finally finds the trees around him somewhat familiar, there is a lot of fallen trees near a clearing.
Sol pulls out a shovel from his bag and starts digging on the snow, it takes him another hour to find what he was looking for.
He uses the next hour digging the snow and gathers as much as he can put inside his bag.
He was about to get back when he found himself surrounded by a pack of werewolf, there are five of them including one with a gunshot on its foot.
"Fuck, it's back with some help! I shouldn't have let it go" he lamented.
Sol empties his magazine on the injured wolf, decreasing his enemy into four wolves.
The other almost into him when he pulls that thing from his bag and wraps it around his left hand.
They attack him together, Sol only able to dodge two of them while blocking one with his left hand and parry the other with his knife.
That thing he warps around his hand was Nerodia's molded skin, it blocks the impact from the werewolf and protects him from its claw.
Sol's knife wasn't sharp enough yet to cut through the wolf claw, it was not because the claw is harder than the black python he killed but because his knife only gets sharper toward something it ever hit.
He needs to hit the wolf a few more times before he can cut through its claws.
Sol kick the wolf he parries with his knife so his right hand can be free then he used his knife to cut at the one he blocks with his left hand.
His knife cut its hand, it severs some tendon so the wolf lost one of its arm function.
When he finished his swing the other two he dodges already into him again but Sol already learned from his past mistakes against the pair of rat-man, Sol uses his coat as a cover and barely dodges them while pulling out one of the bottles he had filled with sulfuric acid.
Sol throws it toward the nearest wolf and puts some distance with them, he stands before a tree so they can't surround him again.
From the five wolves going after him, one is already down from a gunshot, one had lost one arm from an earlier clash, one having burned skin and still rolling on the snow from pain, while the other two are completely fine.
"Now what?" Sol wondered to himself, he had his escape cut off by the wolf and they outnumber him while they are also stronger than him.
Each wolf can beat him in close combat, the only thing he has better than the is equipment, he had a super sharp knife and super hard snakeskin.
