Chapter 49: Army Of 2, Oh Wait There's 3

'They died?!?' Kaden screamed in his mind. The person in front of him just killed someone in cold blood with their bare hands there was no use in running or trying to call authorities. It was better to confront the killer themselves and try and gain some information is what Kaden thought.

"I didn't get beaten up actually. I just enjoyed the atmosphere and wanted to hang out here for a while." Kaden said explaining to the Kitsune mask while glancing at the dead body that they now have laid on the ground.

"You realize that's the definition of loitering right?" Kitsune mask replied nonchalantly.

'He has got me there.' Kaden cursed in his mind.

"Well, why are you worrying about my loitering when you just killed someone right in front of me? Shouldn't you be freaking out or something?" Kaden questioned as he widened the distance between them a little bit for his own comfort.

"Why would I freak out when I've done nothing wrong? This guy here just tried to kill me. I believe he is a part of the new group that has been emerging on the news." Kitsune mask said as they removed the arm sleeve of the dead person revealing a tattoo with two diamonds intertwined. Otherwise known as the symbol of the people that have been killing off new students with a high class potential.

"You actually killed one of those people?! How?!" Kaden had heard over and over how powerful some of the members of this group were and Kaden's assumption was that the Kitsune mask person was quite weak and only drank expensive soup from maybe a company they own or their parents. He couldn't quite gauge how old the person was but based on the fact that so far the group has only gone after new students rose a few questions in Kaden's mind.

"Well, he wasn't that strong really. Needless to say, he got what he deserved." Kitsune mask said with a slight hint of anger that was even readable through the voice changer.

"Well considering how these people operate I assume that you're a new student as well and just got your high-ranked class?" Kaden questioned with interest.

The Kitsune mask quickly shook their head, "I'm afraid you're mistaken. While I do have something to do with the school I am not a new student. In fact, I am the farthest from it but that's for you to figure out." They said laughing at his lack of knowledge.

'What could they possibly be then? Maybe I was wrong and they are some sort of super-strong class user.' Kaden thought to himself in surprise. Not often was Kaden wrong in his assumptions but this time it seemed he was way off course. That's if they are telling the truth after all but there was nothing he could do to know whether they are or aren't but based on them taking down such a dangerous person they should be good and not a liar.

"Fine! Be a jerk about it then!" Kaden said stomping past the Kitsune masked person but not before touching the soul hanging above the body of the person that just died.

[Would you like Dave Woodside to join your family?]

[Accept] [Decline]

Kaden hit accept before walking away quickly back to his apartment. Today was not the day to be spending time in a ramen shop.

Once Kaden arrived at his home all of the rewards and other things to do with Dave joining had already passed through his class screen but he had yet to look at it. One of the things that caught his attention first was the change to his current rank.

[Name: Kaden Crown]

[Class: Necromancer]

[Potential: SSS+]

[Current Rank: E-]

He was surprised that his rank was moving up this quickly and he could feel the slight differences in his body from the rank up. While it may be easy to rank up now Kaden had the theory that with each rank letter he would have to get more and more people for it to move up. All during the F rank Kaden just had to add one person per rank. When he first created the family he added himself as the leader making him rise to F rank making it one person in the family. Then Sky accepted his invitation into the family making it two people and he changed to rank F+ and now with a third person, he has risen to E-. He won't know whether his hypothesis is true or not until he adds more people but for now, he would focus on the new addition to his family.

Another thing that he had glanced at briefly as he was making his way home was a new ability he had unlocked right when he hit accept on the class screen. It read like this.

[Family Call: Whenever you desire you can call upon a family member that was dead before you resurrected them. They will appear before you in whatever location you choose. This does not apply to those that are still among the living.]

"That's exactly what I needed!" Kaden said happily with enthusiasm. While he was thinking about how his army would work Kaden had wondered how he would transport all of those people with him at once. The group would no longer be a strong and stealth force but a walking army or a walking target. This class ability however fixed all of those problems.

Kaden was very happy with how his class had given him everything he needed the moment he needed it. It may not have been intended to be this way but since it has he wasn't complaining. The only thing left to do was confront the new member of Kaden's family. historical

Kaden thought for a moment and activated the [Family Call] skill which made a blue and red smoke begin appearing in front of Kaden. Similar to the smoke that the Rattler was covered in before. Kaden had also wondered why when he added Dave to the family it was different than the other but he was more focused on the man in front of him that has now been uncovered by the smoke.

"Nice to meet you boss." Dave said kneeling down.
