NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: A Choice
[What choice will the host make?]
(I...I don't know...Why do I have to decide to abandon or save humanity/) Klaus thought to himself
[Because part of you wants to I would not have given you this option otherwise]
(But there are terrible people in the world that will become worse after the merge why should I save them)
[You don't you have to save humanity not every person. If you believe killing someone to help people is needed then do it]
(Do I have to decide now?)
[No you need to be sure about your decision because with will change the mission you receive]
"Klaus is everything okay You just standing there and you have that look when you're trying to make a tough decision," Jessica said tugging on his sleeve
"Sorry about that it's nothing...I will take you guys with me but understand that you have to stay close and listen to what I say. No running off on your own or doing something stupid to make me risk my life," Klaus explained
"yes whatever you say," a student said excitedly
With Jessica holding his hand and a group of five students and four teachers Klaus left the staff room and made his way to the gymnasium.
Seeing the chaos outside for the first time Klaus could only think about all those who are suffering like the other students and the things they are witnessing.
"Hey watch out it's one of those..."
Before the student could finish speaking Kluas's spear flew through the goblin's head killing it instantly.
"S-so fast!" one student said watching the spear
"And it's moving on its own, where did he get that from?" a teacher asked
[Lv.2 Goblin Killed: +20 exp./+1 gold]
(A level two this time)
Continuing through the school grounds Klaus cut down any goblin he saw and after killing over a dozen he leveled up to level three.
Reach the back of the school Klaus and his group saw the trail to the gymnasium. To their disgust, it was covered in dead students and a horde of over twenty goblins eating the corpses.
Seeing this some of the people threw up while Jessica hid behind Klaus to block her vision.
"Klaus..."
"I know but Damian would not die that easily...I know he wouldn't," Klaus replied clenching his fist
"Their a lot of them can you deal with that at the same time?" a teacher asked
"You guys just stay behind me," Klaus said
Holding his hand out he pointed at the horde of the goblins which noticed them and began running at the group. With a single motion of his hand, chastiefol went flying toward the horde.
"Increase,"
Saying that chastiefol glowed a golden light for a moment before being replaced by dozens of smaller daggers.
"Look the spear changed,"
As the swarm of daggers meant the horde there was nothing they could do but be torn to shreds. The only ones to survive were two archer goblins that jumped back and ran.
Seeing the archer Klaus called back chastiefol. Like he expected the archers shot arrows at them in quick succession.
"Watch out arrows," a student said covering their vitals
"Guardian,"
With one word chastiefol glowed with a golden light before growing and changing into a large stuffed bear that the arrows bounced off of.
While the goblins stared at the green bear in confusion Klaus took this chance and fired two gale orbs around the bear towards them.

[Lv.3 Goblin Archer Killed: +60 exp./+3 Gold]
Turning chastiefol back into a spear Klaus held Jessica's hand again and they continued to the gymnasium.
Arriving at the door Klaus looked down at the students switch arrows in their backs and fear on their faces.
"Open the door it's Klaus," Klaus yelled knocking on the door
"No, we can't the monsters," a voice replied
"They are gone now open the door!"
"Yes open it we need to get to the shelter," a teacher added
"I'm sorry we can't take that chance," A voice said
"Jessica step back for a second," Klaus said coating his hand in haki
Throwing a punch at full force he blew the door off its hinges and anything that was holding it back.
Walking inside Klaus looked around to see his classmates across in the corner all shaking and crying in fear.
"Damian, where are you?" Klaus asked
Looking at the group of students they all pointed on the ground in the center of the gym.
Laying there was Damian with blood pooling from his mouth and Mark standing over him with blood on his cheek and fist.
Seeing that his mind was filled with anger as he stared at Mark.
"What the hell are you looking at? You may be strong but not strong en..."
Before he could finish Klaus was already dashed towards him with his fist a few inches from his face. Punching him with full force Mark was sent flying into the wall and fell to the floor.
Walking up to Damian he activated the pollen garden. Once he did chastiefol changed into a flower and light particles gently flew onto Damian and he began to heal.
"Jessica please stay with Damian," Klaus said standing up and walking up tp Mark
"Klaus, what are you going to do?" Jessica asked with concern
Not responding to her question Klaus walked up to the knocked-out Mark and picked him up by his hair. Smacking his face Mark quickly woke up and yelled out in pain.
"What the fuck??!!"
"Shut up," Klaus said throwing a punch into Marks's stomach causing him to cough blood.
"No Klaus stop you will kill him!" Jessica said seeing Klaus throw another punch.
Blinded by anger and a grudge with Mark Klaus did not stop and continued to throw punch after punch.
While Mark was bloody and unable to defend himself from Klaus he was about to through another punch at full force when he felt someone place a hand on his shoulder.
"That's enough Klaus...Don't do it,' Damian said barely holding himself up
"...You okay?" Klaus asked still holding Mark by his hair
"Yeah I'm good you don't have to go further," Damian said with a smile
Dropping Mark Klaus stood up and hugged Damian. Even though the two had no relation they both saw each other as brothers. When Klaus was bullied after losing his parents Damian would step in and save him every time. When Damian was extorted and beaten by people from another school Klaus stepped in. What they had was a bond thicker than blood.
"What the hell happened to you man," Damian laughed seeing Klaus change
"Long story...But first, what the hell happened what did he do?" Klaus asked
"That bastard closed the door on our classmates and watched them be killed by those goblins," Damian said in disgust
"Then why did you stop me from killing him?" Klaus asked
"Because I can't let you cross that line, especially for me," Damian replied with a smile
"No you tell me what happened to you. The ear and those markings on your hands," Damian asked
"I will explain once we get out of here," Klaus replied
"Where are we going?" Damian asked
"I don't know yet but something si drawing me to the tree in the city,"
"The tree surrounded by hundreds of monsters and a dragon,"
"Yup, that same one. I need to get there,"
"Alright, can we go tomorrow we need to gather supplies and rest. Second I need to understand this blue screen. Judging by the fact you can kill them without being injured and that speed you just showed, you know what it is," Damian said pointing at the floating blue screen before him
