Ikke crosses the slums, then approaches my house, kicking down the door to my home. I look up from writing my book.
Ikke [Level 1]: You lied! you talk about fighting for the demons. Now this happens.
Zed [Level 3]: There was not much I could do. I could've stayed home if I'm being honest, but I still went. Why are you crying so much?
Ikke [Level 1]: Because you lied like s***.
Zed [Level 3]: about what? If saving Rei will save you from crying, then how about we go now?
Ikke [Level 1]: go now?! Takeda killed her!
Zed [Level 3]: No, he didn't actually. Did you not notice? Takeda only used a fake knife. Did you follow him after to see? Probably not, right? Because your group of friends were overpowered the second I left.
Now understanding what really happened, Ikke urges me go. We take a different route this time, to the church. When we get there, Takeda had already put Rei on the table.
set with traps. He made sure not to kill her yet.
Ikke [Level 1]: Takeda!
Takeda turns our way completely spotless.
Takeda: Always getting to random people's business. How did you know I'd be here?
Ikke [Level 1]: You underestimated my knowledge!
I glance to where Ikke stood. He returns a grateful look.
Zed [Level 3]: So, you know how the others thought you killed Rei? Well, I know you didn't, because that wasn't your real goal. To save the hassle of finding her again, you bring her to the church. Also, there was that fake knife.
Takeda: Seems you lot outsmarted me. Still, that does not matter since you're no match for me.
Takeda shows a wide grin, then plunges the real knife down on Rei, but Ikke was already upon him. Ikke fused his own soul with Rei as smoke gathered. Then the atmosphere shifted. From the smoke appeared a demon kid, hair down to their hip, so it was impossible to determine their gender.
Takeda looks up at Kikei [demon/demon queen] noticing the difference in power. Takeda reveals his two knives, charges at Kikei, then slashes away. He uses all his special abilities such as weapon fuse, thunder strike, lethal hit, but none of it could hurt this monstrosity.
The battle of the three concluded when faced with the student council. Cyrus appears with his crew as well. Takeda. Ikke. a bunch of other demons except Rei spend some time at detention. They also didn't forget that one dude who grabbed Rei by the hair.
Security: Under strict orders from the student council, you will face detention for trespassing on school grounds.
Zed [Level 3]: Excuse me. I don't have a clue as to what went down. I didn't fight or trespass. I tried to convince my friends not to do it using discord, but they refused.
Suddenly, I see Cyrus walking up to security
I lose my composure while my tone sounded different. I might as well be a little honest.
The door to the detention room gets locked filling the air with tension.
Takeda: Good job moron! You had to get the great Takeda arrested!
You sort of asked for it. But I don't actually say that.
Zed [Level 3]: How exactly did you come up with this idea? Not that I really want to know, but.
Takeda: I won't tell you.
Ikke [Level 1]: Can you at least tell me who you are? What you know about the demons?
Takeda: Right. The demons. slaves to their puppet masters: the priest, priestess, the gods.
All
I know is that the demons are at a bad spot right now.
Ikke [Level 1]: I'm grateful that you shared this info!
Takeda: I'm only saying this because I'm bored!
Since we don't have much to do. we talk about the past. Takeda explains first why he hates humans with the sad story of his parents. Ikke gets tearful over the story, while I stay emotionless. Ikke speaks up next; his story is terrifying having to do with the discrimination of this school. When it's my turn to speak, I speak my thoughts. This story was about Zed when he was a first grader trying to kiss a girl. I closed the gap her but didn't know what the right move was. I saw her beautiful jewelry.
After that story, we laugh for some time.
Just then, Ezio walks in with a wide smile. Ours turn to frowns.
Ezio: What's good boys?!!!
Zed [Level 3]: Great!!! The reaper is here!
Ezio: C'mon, what's with the frowns?! He shakes the keys in his hand.
Takeda reaches out for the keys with Ikke, but they fail to grab them. They then stood still no words spoken.
Ezio: How undisciplined can you be? Time isn't up yet!
Cyrus: Alright stop trolling, unless you want to join them.
Ezio laughs then frees Takeda, then Ikke. He looks to Cyrus, then back to me. After a few more seconds, I'm also free.
That night, I turn uncomfortably around the bed. The dream shows a powerful demon fighting another powerful demon. Their armor was cool, so were their weapons.
I knew that this dream was showing me the visions of cool characters.
When I get up from bed, my eyes burn had that burning sensation, so I run to the bathroom to wash my face. When the burn subsides, I get ready for school. I put some heavy wood behind my back. so that I can carry the book I created. My life had become really different since I got my max level stats. I still want to level up, but I didn't know how. I thought back to when I moved to this new school. I lost a critical fight. It was impossible to move after the poison took effect completely. I've decided to fight once more to prove myself to Ezio. That's the only way to show that Ezio is worthy of that top spot.
