Hitman with a Badass System-Chapter 37: Gaya as bodyguard

Early morning mist began to clear as the sun rose casting orange and pink onto a thin layer of cloud. The lively chirping of the early birds filled the air.

"Brother Ghost would have woken by now, I need to hurry"

At this moment, a pair of legs rushed forward hurriedly in the direction of the lone house in the mountain.

He was no one but Jack, the disciple who settled down Michael and Gaya yesterday. Usually, Jack would feel tired if he ran from his dorms to the core disciple house, however, today he felt energetic. The number one genius of his generation now belonged to the Sunrise sect which catapulted their reputation among the sects.

"Why is the door still closed?"

Reaching Micheal's house, Jack halted his steps to catch his breath and wondered looking at the closed doors.

Knock!

Jack knocked on the door but he was careful not to knock too loudly in case it would disturb Ghost's cultivation.

"Brother Ghost"

There was no reply from inside as Jack knocked again and this time, he increased the sound of his knocking.

"Brother Ghost"

"Who the fuck is there?"

Jack almost jumped back when an annoyed voice came from inside.

"Huh?!"

A few seconds after his brain processed the voice, he realized the voice sounded feminine and nothing like Ghost.

"Brother Ghost?"

I must have misheard it, that's what he thought.

Thud!

"Go away!"

Jack heard the same voice again and this time, the voice sounded even more annoyed as he heard something heavy as a stone hitting the door.

"Who is there?!"

Panic and uncertainty hit Jack's core. He clenched his fist and shouted loudly.

"Fucking idiot, I'm gonna beat your ass for disturbing my sleep!"

Jack quickly stepped back from the door as the door opened to reveal a black hair girl staring at him furiously.

He had no idea how the girl got in or who was she?

All he knew was Ghost came alone with them yet, there was another girl inside his house.

"Who...are..you?"

The girl didn't answer him but stared at him while tying her ruffled hair into a ponytail. Nonetheless, he could tell that the girl is annoyed but he subconsciously relaxed seeing that the girl is just a commoner and not a cultivator.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"Wait..what?...you!"

Jack couldn't believe what he had just heard. He never thought a delicately beautiful girl like this would have such a foul mouth.

For a moment, he had no responses as the girl walked towards him.

"Cat got your tongue? Why did you wake me up this early, you little shit? "

Jack was still in shock when Gaya flicked his forehead to make him talk

"Who are you? What are you doing in Brother Ghost's room?"

After a few seconds, Jack was able to speak these words while caressing his forehead

"Me? I'm your Brother Ghost's mentor, you ignorant fool"

"Hahahaha"

However, Jack couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard the girl. The girl before him spoke these words with a straight face and didn't even bat an eye speaking such a huge lie. She was shameless beyond words.

How could a mortal girl who is at the Arch sensing stage teach a genius like Ghost? The Arch energy in her body was too weak and even some newborn babies would have more Arch energy inside their bodies than her.

"What the fuck?!"

Gaya didn't expect such a reaction from this boy, she knew that she had blatantly lied but he didn't have to rub it in her face like this.

"You mentor...Brother Ghost..hahaha, AH!"

His laughter suddenly turned into a scream as he felt a sharp pain across his butt.

He turned to see the girl holding a long stick in her hand and swinging at him with full force and before he could react, he received another attack

Chit!

"Damn! Stop AH!"

For a girl who had no Arch energy or rather too little energy, her moves were too quick and swift.

In a few seconds, his butt suffered five or six attacks and he started to fiercely stroke his rear disregarding his pride as a man in front of a beautiful girl.

"Stop it! Ouch ouch!"

Gaya wasn't going to stop beating his ass, no matter how loud he shouted.

"Don't make ouch...me hit you!"

His eyes already welled up and his butt turned red but still, he was taught not to hit a girl, outside of serious battles and tournaments, especially not a mortal girl like her.

"Hit me and I'll make Ghost rip your throat out"

"At least AH! Tell me...who you..are"

Since he didn't want to take any chance by hitting her, Jack did the next best thing, dodge, and ran away from the reach of her stick.

"I told you, I'm his mentor"

"But?"

"What's going on here?!"

Just as Gaya was chasing Jack around with the stick in her hand, Elder Mark came to the scene.

"Jack, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!"

He shouted and felt extremely wronged here considering this girl kept attacking him with the stick for no reason, he was the victim here, yet, Elder Mark asked what did he do?

"Teacher, I didn't do anything, I came to bring Brother Ghost to the assembly hall but instead of Brother Ghost, I saw this mortal girl coming out of the house"

"Mortal? How dare you?!"

She shouted in anger but didn't try to attack Jack who was hiding behind Elder Mark.

"Girl, who are you?"

"I'm Ghost's friend"

"Friend?! You said..."

"Let the girl speak Jack"

Jack quickly shut his mouth but he was so angry and shocked seeing the honest expression she made while talking to Elder Mark.

"Where is Ghost?"

Elder Mark however seemed not to care about Jack's protest as he asked Gaya.

"He's attempting to break through, he asked me to don't let anyone disturb him but Jack tried to do exactly that"

"She's lying!"

"Breakthrough? This soon!"

Elder Mark's brows almost touched his head when he heard Gaya and forgot about the ruckus that happened between her and Jack a moment ago.

"Yes"

But soon, Elder MArk's reaction changed from shocked to panic as he tried to rush forward into the house.

"Hey! Stop"

Gaya jumped in front of him and stopped Elder Mark from taking any steps further

"Girl move aside, if he tried to prematurely tried to break through,it will hinder his cultivation in the future, he must first strengthen his cultivation base"

Even after hearing Elder Mark, Gaya didn't move an inch as she put both her hands on the hip and said.

"I don't care about that, he asked me to guard him while he's cultivating, that's what I'm going to do. Besides, that freak wouldn't have entered into the breaking through process if he wasn't sure about this. Leave him be "

"What do you, a mortal girl know about cultivation? Move or I'll move you"

Elder Mark threatened Gaya as she took out the knife Micheal gave her angrily

"Who the fuck are you talking to? I know more about cultivation than you old fart!"
