Chapter 4 - The strange creature

I was shocked by the matter; all the abilities appeared in detail. The results indicated that my right hand had a void, and through it, I could attract objects or determine a place where I could cut off gravity. For example, I could say, "cut gravity in the room," and point my hand at the room, and gravity would be cut off. I would also be able to strengthen gravity to the extent I thought of and could make the people I specify unaffected by gravity. I, too, would not be affected. I could pull and push objects no matter what they were, and I could point at something with my finger and make it move.

But the real shock was in the final technique: I could open a void to travel between all the worlds like the world of Jitaki, Shosaki, Yugira, Nizika, Shimats, and Warashi. I felt I had heard some of them before, and I remembered the strange creature; it had spoken two of them. The first when it called me "Jitaki," and the second when it said: "Come to me if you want to live; I am in the world of Shosaki."

I wanted to open Shosaki but hesitated and did not open any world. However, I tried the other abilities. I disabled gravity, and everything in the room floated except me. Then I applied stronger gravity, and everything fell to the ground. I increased the level, and the items broke from the intensity of the gravity. At that moment, I realized that I didn't need to say the techniques' names out loud; I could do them just by focusing. Then I tried moving objects, and they moved easily. After that, I called Itara but didn't tell him about my abilities.

Izumi: Hello Itara, how are you? Itara: I'm fine, and you? Izumi: I'm good, but I want to ask something. Itara: What is it? Izumi: Can I come to school? I want to continue my research, please. Itara: Why are you asking me? I didn't do anything. Come if you want. Izumi: Does that mean you don't intend to hurt anyone? Itara: Why would I hurt anyone? What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Izumi: No, I'm fine. Alright, I'll come today. Goodbye.

I was surprised by Itara, who used to prevent me from coming to school, and now he wants me to come. It was strange. I slept. When I woke up to the alarm, I changed my clothes and put on my school uniform. After that, I wanted to leave the house and saw Oshira.

Izumi: Good morning, Oshira. Oshira: Good morning... I'm sorry I caused you trouble. Izumi: Don't worry, nothing happened (with a smile). I'm going out to school. You stay here and rest, alright? Oshira: Okay, goodbye.

Then I went and reached the school, and I saw two people standing in front of it. It was Yahiru and Itami, my devoted guards. I went and greeted them and told them to return, but they refused. They insisted on guarding me no matter what. I wanted to give them a gift, so I gently kicked them with my right foot and performed a regeneration on them. Their cells were renewed, and they were in perfect condition. At that moment, Itara arrived. I greeted him and told Itami and Yahiru that he had become peaceful. Suddenly, while we were standing there, Itara asked me why I feared him. I told him it was because of what he did to Yahiru.

Itara: You mean your guard? What did I do? I didn't do anything. I told Itara everything. When Yahiru was struck, he said he didn't remember doing any of that. Then, in the same place and time, we discussed this creature that looked like me and suddenly transformed into someone else. But Yahiru interrupted us with something we had overlooked. He said: Didn't you notice that he looked like Izumi and suddenly turned into someone else? I replied: Yes. He said: Now I've discovered Itara's secret. I said: What are you talking about? Itara said: What secret do you mean? Yahiru said: The person who appeared to you yesterday is the same one I fought that day when I got injured and lost my memory. Everyone was shocked. Could it be? I was talking to this creature and didn't even realize it. Itara said: That's a possible theory.

We all agreed not to tell anyone about what happened, and the lessons passed peacefully. When we were about to go home, we said goodbye — me, Itara, and my guards. I told my guards to go back and not follow me home, and they agreed. Itara and I walked together since his house was on the street behind mine. As we walked and recalled the past and laughed, suddenly a vortex appeared and a portal opened. The strange creature emerged and said: Hmmm, Izumi, didn't you think of coming? We were terrified and stepped back. I said to him: What do you want? What do you want from me? Why me exactly? He said: I want to show you the truth so that your goal becomes revenge for your parents. I will reveal everything to you about the world's environment that spread pain and injustice in our worlds.

I was shocked. My father and mother? What are you talking about? He said: This is the transfer mirror before you. If you want to come, then come. Itara looked at the strange being and shouted: Who the hell are you? He said: I am Madawa from the world of Shosaki. Itara said to him: What do you want? Madawa said: I want Izumi; I don't want you. Suddenly, I was shocked by something. Itara pointed his hand toward the portal called the transfer mirror and closed it. I was surprised, but even more strangely, Madawa's face showed signs of fear. He quickly opened another portal and escaped.

I asked Itara: What's happening? How did you close it? He was silent, then said: It seems like a coincidence. Then he smiled.

I accepted it, but doubts haunted me: Why did Madawa flee from Itara? How did Itara close the portal? We reached the point of separation, said goodbye, and I went on my way. When I got home and wanted to sleep in my room, I opened the door and saw Madawa sitting on the window sill with the portal behind him, his hand on his cheek, saying: Have you decided, Izumi?
