The Void Hunter stood amidst the wreckage of the school's main entrance, a looming silhouette against the bruised afternoon sky.
It's very presence seemed to drain the warmth from the air, causing ice to bloom on the shattered walls and the students to shiver uncontrollably, even after their soul-nourishing meal.
[Monster Identified: Void Hunter (Rank: C+)]
[Danger Level: Extreme.
Designed to neutralize 'Awakened' entities. Avoid direct confrontation.]
[Special Abilities: 'Soul Chill' (Drains life force and spiritual energy), 'Shadow Step' (Teleportation through spatial distortions), 'Void Rend' (Creates localized vacuum fields).]
"Soul Chill, Shadow Step, Void Rend," Han Jin murmured, reading the System's pop-up.
He didn't seem impressed.
"Basic parlor tricks for a mid-tier assassin."
"Han Jin! Its power is immense!" Lin Xi shouted, stepping forward.
The Starlight Fried Rice had given her courage.
"It specializes in isolating and nullifying opponents.
Its Soul Chill can freeze your spiritual core!"
"Good," Han Jin replied, a dangerous glint in his eye.
"Then it won't complain when I'm done with it."
[BING! Opening 'Emperor's Kitchen' Loot Box...]
[Rolling... Rolling...]
Han Jin held out his hand.
[You have received: 'Dragon Bone Cleaver (Mortal Form)' (Rank: Epic - Suppressed)]
[Description: Forged from the spine of a celestial dragon, capable of slicing through concepts. Currently disguised as a normal kitchen cleaver.]
[You have received: 'Cosmic Whetstone' (Rank: Legendary - Fragment)]
[Description: A fragment of a primordial nebula, capable of sharpening anything from blades to intentions.]
[You have received: 'Infinite Spice Pouch' (Rank: Unique)]
[Description: Contains an endless supply of all known and unknown spices across the multiverse.
Warning: Do not snort.]
A gleaming, heavy kitchen cleaver materialized in Han Jin's hand.
It looked like something a master butcher would use, but it hummed with an almost imperceptible energy that made the air around it shimmer.
The Cosmic Whetstone was a palm-sized chunk of swirling starlight.
"Finally," Han Jin said, hefting the cleaver. "A proper knife.
System, is this thing sharp enough to cut through a D-Rank Abomination's ego?"
[System Note: It is sharp enough to sever the thread of fate itself, if wielded correctly. Please do not 'cut' fate.
It makes paperwork difficult.]
The Void Hunter, sensing a challenge, took a step forward. Its featureless head tilted, the blue pinpricks of light narrowing on Han Jin. It radiated an aura of absolute cold.
"You are an anomaly," the Hunter's growling voice echoed, vibrating through the cafeteria.
"You hide your power.
You defy the Harvest.
Your soul... is mine."
With a speed that defied its size, the Hunter vanished.
It didn't move; it simply wasn't there and then it was behind Han Jin, its scythe-like arm aimed for his neck.
This was Shadow Step in action.
The temperature in the room plummeted.
A wave of Soul Chill emanated from the Hunter, aimed directly at Han Jin's spiritual core.
Fatty Wei and the other students screamed, their breaths turning to mist as their very life force felt like it was being siphoned away.
But Han Jin didn't flinch.
He didn't even turn.
He simply extended his left hand behind him, holding the Cosmic Whetstone.
With his right, he brought the Dragon Bone Cleaver against it.
SHIIIING!
The sound was not just metal on stone.
It was the sound of reality itself being honed.
Sparks flew...not just of light, but of pure spiritual energy.
The entire world seemed to wobble under the force of the sharpening.
When the Hunter's scythe-arm connected, it didn't hit Han Jin's neck.
It struck the flat of the Dragon Bone Cleaver, which Han Jin had raised at the last second.
CLANG!
The sound was deafening.
The Hunter's scythe-arm, which could rend dimensions, shattered.
Not just broke, but exploded into fragments of obsidian chitin, showering the ground around them.
The Hunter recoiled, its blue eyes flaring with shock and something akin to fear.
Its Soul Chill attack, instead of freezing Han Jin, simply bounced off him, a useless ripple against an ancient, immovable will.
"You call that a strike?" Han Jin said, finally turning to face the bewildered Hunter.
The cleaver in his hand shimmered. "That's barely enough to julienne a celestial radish."
He took a step forward, and the ground cracked beneath his feet.
He was no longer just a student with high charm.
He was a force of nature.
The Hunter, sensing the shift, tried to use Void Rend, creating a localized vacuum field designed to crush Han Jin into nothingness.
Han Jin merely swung the Dragon Bone Cleaver in a casual, horizontal arc.
WHOOSH!
It wasn't a physical cut.
It was a cut through the concept of the vacuum.
The Void Rend attack, instead of crushing, transformed into a gentle breeze that carried the scent of fresh pastries across the cafeteria.
[System Note: User has 'sliced' the concept of 'Vacuum' into 'Gentle Breeze'.
Please do not 'slice' any more concepts, User.
The universe is becoming very confused.]
The Void Hunter let out a guttural shriek, a sound of pure terror.
It recognized true power.
It knew that it was facing something far beyond its rank or programming.
Han Jin took another step.
"Now," he said, his voice cold and even. "You interrupted my lunch.
You threatened my classmates.
And worst of all... you didn't even bring your own ingredients."
He raised the Dragon Bone Cleaver. It pulsed with a faint, golden light.
"For that," Han Jin declared, "you will be... tenderized."
