CHAPTER 4 – SLAYING AROUND (OR HALF-A-PENNY BABY)

Ataru was astounded. That old, dirty building attached to a Subway's bridge was really a gym?

- Megane. Are you sure it's there? – asked Ataru while smelling the sewer's odour that sorrunded the place.

- It's there – Megane answered, and then walked to the ancient building's door. A rotten wood door. There was no bell, so Megane had to knock. A young, beautiful woman with magnificent reddish hair opened the door. She was wearing a black strip and yellow leotards. Ataru was about to take out his agenda again, but when he saw her small boobs, he put it back in his pocket.

- What do ya wish, lads? – She asked.

- Are you Lina Gabriew, ma'am? – Megane asked back

- I am – Mrs. Lina answered.

- I called you. My name's Megane, and this guy struggling for an agenda with a green-haired hottie is Ataru Moroboshi.

- Yes, I remember: is this the crazy fool who has accepted champion Biglipsdude's challenge?

- Yes.

- … - Lina shrugged - I expected something different?

Ataru then appeared just a centimetre in front of Lina's face.

- What kind of "different thing" are you talking about, maidmoiselle?

- Ahhhh, look at yourself. You're nothing but a 170 cm chump, not a champ! – and then, Lina punched him. Ataru didn't move. He just stand there, looking strangely at her, ant totally unharmed.

- Eh? Why are you touching my face? Are you trying to splat some pimple on my face?

Lina looked at him, terrified. She looked back and yelled:

- Gourry! Come there, darling!

A very handsome and muscular young man appeared. Lum looked at him with disbelief.

- Gourfht! Akomeu Netszy & Alepuz! – She said in her language (It meant "God! It's the 2ond handsomest man in the universe after Darling!". Yes, she's even TOO crazy about Ataru).

- What happens, Lina-Chan? Is there another leech in the changing room? – He asked just before falling backwards for an incredible left hand elbow. After helping him to get up, Lina said:

- This weirdo… This freak… He has resisted the punch you jus received. It's him, Gourry. The guy we were waiting for, our Messiah!

- Do you mean…?

- Yes: a little man with a semi-superhuman strength ! The man who is gonna take us out of this hole.

And then, pointing Ataru with their fingers, the couple exclaimed together: THE SLAYER DONKEY.

- Hey. No offending! – Exclaimed Ataru furiously

A man with the temper of a slayer and the resistance and patience of a donkey: Ataru Moroboshi, is about to start his training for a big day.
