Chapter 72 - Fury and his Slaughterhouse

To say he surprised everyone would be an understatement as no one could have imagined such an outcome. When he arrived and began to drag the carcass home many people watched him curiously, whispering among each other and speculating about why this child was pulling a large boar behind himself. Kaiser didn't doubt for a second that most people would come to hear about this in the next couple of hours and countless rumors and theories would begin to circle around.

As soon as he arrived at home he was immediately assaulted with questions by his family. To avoid staining the house and hide the boar he had to drag it around the house where they hung it up to bleed out. One of their neighbors an old man who had been attracted by the noise outside promised to help them in processing the boar if they would give him one of the boar's tusks as well as some meat. At first Kaiser was suspicious as to whether or not the old man would be able to properly take care of the boar but his parents ensured him that the man had experience.

As soon as Kaiser and his family had agreed to the old mans price he began to work. Because of his advanced age Kaiser and his father assisted him to the best of their abilities. As they were working on it the old man praised the boar as he had never seen such a large and powerful individual.

Before they really could start the old man told them to collect the boar's blood in pots before setting it on the stove to cook all while one of them constantly stirred the pot with a large wooden spoon to get the white blood cells out of the hot blood. After the boar had been drained they skinned it and kept the hide which was still a bit bloody with a few chunks of meat at the side. Perhaps they could find someone in tanning later who would be able to make good leather out of it.

Then they began to separate the parts according to their future use. Some parts to be turned into minced meat, some into steaks, a few other into bacon and much more. For each part the old man had an exact plan and with great precision he executed it.

After a break in between where they had to go and watch the public execution as it was mandatory they returned and after a few additional hours of work they finished. The old neighbor took what he had been promised and had headed home followed by the well wishes of the family. This night they feasted until the last sun rays faded and they had to go to bed.

As everyone had to go to work the next day they could only continue slowly with their work. After a day of search they had found a middle-aged man nearby that had experience in tanning who agreed to work on the hide in exchange for two tusks and a few steaks which they still had. Although it pained them to loose some meat, as something like meat was very rare, they agreed because Kaiser had half jokingly stated that he wanted the hide to be tanned and as the hunter they thought he deserved it.

When Kaiser went to school that day almost everyone knew about what he had done, the people whispered about him with each other and got out of his way as soon as he approached. Listening to their whispers when he had some spare time he came across some interesting news. When he went to the toilet during a break a few guys who hadn't noticed his arrival as the were inside the stalls were still chatting loudly.

One of the guys who was located closer by the door was the first one Kaiser could hear. Apparently they had been talking for a while so Kaiser intruded when they were almost done. Although he found it weird to go to the toilet with a friend and chat casually there he ignored this strange circ.u.mstance for now and instead listened. "...But that was completely crazy. That boar had blood streaming from its pierced eye and that kid didn't even batting an eyelash! Even most people that watched just this small part got sick and were close to vomiting but he didn't care at all and stored it in a bus to take it home! The other ones that were with him are all at home and will probably go to therapy but someone in my class told me that the kid came today and didn't look any different. He's a psychopath I tell you! I hope I'll never have to meet him. Imagine if he ever got angry"

The other one was silent for about two seconds before replying: "That's really crazy. One of my classmates, Aster, who's the daughter of the mayor is in my class and I was wondering why she didn't come to school today. Bu..."

The first one laughed before interrupting the second kid: "Oh, you like her? Do you want to kiss her?"

The second one reacted embarrassed and started to shout loudly. "Of course not! Why would I?" before quietly continuing: "But how did you know about the therapy part?"

The first kid chuckled and replied: "Sure...I believe you. Not! But that aside one of my friends knows someone whose father knows someone who works with the mayor and overheard a discussion between him and someone he didn't know. But it's true, trust me."

Sadly at that moment one of them got up, opened the door of his stall and walked a few steps only to see Kaiser leaning on the wall (which normally not advisable to do in school toilets for young children), glaring at him with a scowl on his face. Shocked the kid stepped back while Kaiser smiled coldly and advanced towards the child. Sweating and nervous as he was worried that Kaiser could have overheard the discussion he had had about him he tried to retreat which was cut short when his back touched the door of the stall he had just exited. Gulping he tried to find a way out as Kaiser was still coming towards him but stopped just about two steps away from him.

For a second everyone was silent until the kid who was still taking care of his business carefully asked whether his friend was still present. The boy in question was still too confused and irritated by the situation and just stood still, seemingly petrified. At least that was until Kaiser decided to speak up. Or rather he tried as he was still smaller than the guy in front of him who was a few years older. "Move". After he had said this the awkward silence continued. As a result Kaiser tried again. "Move. I need to go". After saying so he advanced, shoved the boy out of the way and answered the call of nature.

Besides that rather...bizarre...occurrence nothing all too interesting happened besides the hide which returned a few weeks later in great condition as well as the return of the traumatized students around the same point in time. Another week after that Kaiser owned a long coat made of boar hide were its teeth formed the buttons and its tendons were used to sew a few parts together. The only problem was that it had been made to suit his future height and so he was still unable to wear it. Although to his convenience he stored it in his inventory and took it out from time to time when he felt a bit cold in the future or simply wanted to show of which was the case most of the time.
