The Legacy System

Funny though, because tonight he didn't have to go and look for trouble, because trouble was coming, looking for him.

As soon as he entered his neighborhood, he noticed more than 10 people were following behind him. He didn't recognize them, they didn't seem to be from this place either. ​​

That left only one option, these guys were a gift from his newest blacklist entry, Takeshiba's Young Master, Takeshiba Yuto.

He didn't want troubles with people and didn't want to enter people's eyes too much either, but certainly, Takeshiba's Young Master, wouldn't tell about his uselessness to the world.

Thinking like this, he intentionally entered a blocked dark alley, to have a face to face meeting with his lovely Exp and SP points.

He just hoped these guys were a bit more worthy than the drunks and junkies he knocked out the other day.

After discovering that useful trait, he had started to see every idiot's worth in Exp and SP points. And since he could see their stats with Eye of Clairvoyance, he could determine their worth easily.

He didn't have to wait long for his tails to appear though, even though they were a bit surprised that Eric had entered such an alley.

It was like he had noticed them, and intentionally was waiting for them. But the information said he was a useless poor kid, who couldn't even dodge a punch.

Looking at the confused faces of his audience, Eric said in a calm and carefree tone,

Eric:" Don't worry it will be over soon, but why are some of you still hiding around here, I am just a lone guy, and you are so many. Don't you feel ashamed at making a trap for me!?"

Even though he was alone, and in front of 12 people with bats and steel poles, he didn't seem frightened at all.

Quite on the contrary, he looked like someone who had gotten the best gift of the night. The leader was confused, but recomposing himself he said,

Leader:" You are right, but Young Master Yuto told us to give you a really big and surprising gift. We need to make all the preparations, right?"

At this moment he was thinking, what could a lone man do against him and his 17 underlings. It would be a walk in the park just like always.

But while the leader was talking Eric found something strange, when he mentioned Young Master Yuto, his pupils dilated, and his heartbeat changed.

This meant only one thing, that was a lie. It wasn't Young Master Takeshiba Yuto who had sent them here. But if it wasn't him, then who did?

Well, he guessed he would have to ask them nicely after the fight was over. So looking towards the leader with a devilish grin, he said with clear excitement in his voice,

Eric:" Well then, let the game begin!"

With that said, he went right for the leader, with his hand clenched into a fist. Before he could get there though, two guys jumped from his sides to kick him in the gut.

Stopping midway, Eric bends his body to the back, avoiding the kicks to his gut, and then punching both guys in their toolbox, knocking them out in the air.

Without having time to recompose himself, or take a better stance, three guys jumped in the air and then coming towards him with a kick.

Not minding this at all, Eric rolled to his left, dodging the three kick, and then placing his legs to the sidewall, he took the momentum and jumped towards them.

He caught the first guy's head with his hands, and turning it 180 degrees, then jumped to the next kicking him in the back of the head, while kicking the last guy with his heel in the chest.

In less than a breathing time moment, 5 guys were on the ground with 4 of them unconscious and the last one unable to move.

The leader couldn't believe his eyes! Where the hell was that week kid he had been informed about. This guy was a clear experienced fighter.

Before he could think more about it though, Eric was coming once again for him, with his hand clenched into a fist.

As startled and frightened he was, he screamed in a hurry,

Leader:" What are you guys waiting for, go there and kick him. Use your bats and poles, we didn't take them just for posing."

Immediately after his voice sounded, the people behind him, started running towards Eric to intercept him, while two people from the back threw fishnets.

They were trying to capture him like a fish or a wild animal, at that moment though, Eric seemed to speed up, and avoid the fishnets, and catching the crowd in surprise.

Nobody expected him to suddenly speed up, so they were all caught unprepared, with their bats and poles still over their head.

Eric didn't give them a chance to think again, and started punching and hand chopping them all on the back of their heads.

More like a fight, this seemed like Eric was dancing through them, like a fish in the water. In a breath's time, he was out of the crowd looking at their leader.

The leader was stunned to see that as soon as Eric got out of them, they started falling like dominoes, one after the other.

He was stupefied, from the 17 underlings that he had, only 3 of them were left, and they were useless in a head-on fight.

While he was like that, his left underlings were worst, they understood that they had hit a steel block this time, and immediately turned around to escape.

But how could Eric give them a chance to do so, he immediately blocked their way, and without any warning knocked them out too, leaving only the leader.

How could he let his Exp and SP points run away from him? He needed them so much, he was so happy to have stricken gold tonight.

Then turning towards the leader, he continued with his calm and carefree attitude, while saying,

Eric:" So tell me, leader-san, would you like to go through this the easy way, or the hard way. I will give you only one chance!

After what you just saw it should be enough for you to decide. So tell me, leader-san, who did really send you here?"

The leader was stunned, he never expected to have to answer such a question. He thought that Eric would easily accept that as Takeshiba's Young Master's present.

But it was clear that not only the information he got but even he himself had looked down upon this demon too much.

It was true though, what he had seen until now was enough for him to make his decision. He didn't have to be loyal to the guy who paid him anyway.

So with a frightened and shivering voice, he answered without losing time,

Leader:" It was the Yoshida's family butler. He paid me to beat you, without causing any critical damage. It was supposed to be an easy task, who knew…"

But before he could finish his words, he got knocked out too. He had already told the most important piece of news, from now on he would just blabber.

It would be a waste of time to bother with him more than this. But this was getting more and more interesting.

The Yoshida family paying to beat him, and not to mention that weird request. Most probably this was Yoshida Gina's work.

What was she trying to do, placing a nobody like him in front of the Takeshiba's family? Also trying to deepen the abyss between them.

This made him even more curious to know what was happening behind the curtains. But right now that was impossible for him.

Placing his curiosity at the back of his head, for now, he took a look towards his farming for tonight. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either.

Four of the thirteen people he knocked out first, had given him 4 points each, and the rest only gave him 3 points each because he had leveled up.

That was all he needed together with the points he got from training in the morning.

The boss looked like some terrifying beast with a muscled body, but even he only gave him 4 points after the level up, and the useless trio after him it only gave him 2 points each.

There was one problem though, his counts didn't add up, they were 18 in total, while he had points only for seventeen until now.

Then turning around the trio that attacked him earlier, he said in a teasing voice,

Eric:" Do you still plan to play the sleeping boy, meanie-kun?"

It was the guy who was hit on the chest, he was still conscious but pretending to be knocked out. Hearing those words though, he couldn't help but piss himself.

He couldn't say anything though or excuse himself because the next moment he was in a deep sleep that he couldn't wake up.

While Eric took the announcement that 3 Exp and SP points were added to his stats. He had been leveling well these days, he was now level 7 and all his stats looked really good.

It was a shame that he couldn't farm the same amount of points for every idiot out there. But there was nothing he could do about it.

He just took a look at his new stats,

He really liked his new stats. He was getting stronger with each passing day, he was a bit surprised with his luck stat falling, but he could guess that today had an effect on it.

At the same time he took a look at his SP points too, he was in much need of them after all. At the moment he had 152SP, he had surpassed half of his aim in such a short time.

He didn't know if he should be angry or happy about Yoshida Gina's act of sending these guys after him. Well while she would suffer because of that, he needed to punish her…
