Chapter 8 : The Void

Aqua's POV

I, Aqua am now seeing something impossible.

"Kazuma!" x4

Me and the others yelled out as Kazuma fell down instead of knocking Yoshikage out.

On his back, we can see an arrow sticking out.

Looking behind, I saw one of the bandits me and Darkness defeated has his hand on a bow, apparently he wasn't knocked out for real and shot Kazuma in the back.

We never predicted this.

"啊...!"

But neither Yoshikage Shidou, the jackass boss predict this either as he is taking a step back from Kazuma's body in fear while muttering something.

Why did he took a step back?

Isn't this what he want? Seeing Kazuma drop dead like that?

"Damn! Kazuma!"

Megumin ran forward, forgetting the fact that many mines caging us.

"Wait Megumin!"

Before Darkness could warn her, she already sprinting forward.

Closing my eyes and bracing for explosion, I can see that the Shigeki guy stood in front of us as if going to take the full brunt of explosion when they are going to be detonated.

But the explosion never came.

"It seems that Yoshikage disperse his 「Mine's Field」when he was surprised earlier."

Shigeki said while taking several step forward before going to Kazuma's position.

"Wait!" x2

Both me and Darkness yelled as we followed him.

Arriving at the place where Kazuma lies, I can see that Yoshikage is several meters away from us, eyeing us warily.

What's up with him?

"Damn it, why does my rune won't work on him!?"

Shigeki said while holding a pebble carved with rune, apparently trying to heal Kazuma to no avail.

"Yoshikage-san! I did it! I killed that bastard who almost got you!"

The man who shot Kazuma came toward Yoshikage.

"Fool! That arrow... Why the hell did you shot him with that 「Arrow」!? And where did you find that arrow!?"

"That 「Arrow」? It's fine isn't it? I just found it in your room, so technically that 「Arrow」saved your life, Yoshikage-san!"

"IDIOT! That 「Arrow」could spell the doom for us! You doomed us all!"

Then, Yoshikage's Stand punched the bandit's face till he lose his consciousness.

What are they talking about?

"Aqua, don't pay attention to them, can you please try to heal Kazuma, my rune isn't working here!"

Shigeki snapped at me.

"Y-Y-Yes!"

I promptly cast a healing magic to Kazuma's body.

His wounds healed, but he hasn't regain his consciousness.

That's weird.

"Hey, hey, why didn't he wakes up yet? You already healed him right?"

Megumin asked me nervously.

I did!

I healed him already.

He should be regained his consciousness by now, but...

I 'look' at him, only to find that-

-his living physical body...

...is 'empty'

"His soul isn't in his body..."

I muttered.

"Huh?" x4

Everyone muttered that.

"Ha...ha...hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Shigeki lets out a maniacal laugh after hearing that.

"What's with him!?"

Darkness snapped.

"I'll try to bring him back!"

I said.

Opening my 'channel' to the place where the dead went before going to either heaven or cycle of rebirth, I contacted Eris, my annoying and arrogant disciple, Eris.

Geh, I don't want to talk to her, but it can't be helped.

'Hey, stupid Kazuma, if you're there, listen to me!"

'Ah, this voice. It's senpai!?'

My stupid disciple and kouhai exclaimed in surprise.

'Hey, what's with that stupid response!? I asked you, is Kazuma there!?"

I ask impatiently.

'Eh, no, there's no one by the name of Kazuma came here recently.'

She said in panic.

'I see...'

Then I cut off the 'channel'.

"I can't resurrect him..."

I muttered.

"What!?" x3

Darkness, Megumin, and Shigeki exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course you can't! Weak person like that dog will die if they're pierced by the 「Arrow」! He isn't worthy for that 「Arrow」to grants him a power!"

"What!?" x4

Now even I am surprised.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Now it's all of your turn to die!"

Knowing the implication of his words, we ran away and split up to avoid being caged or focused down with his absurd ability.


-o-


Kazuma's POV

"Satou Kazuma-san, welcome to the after-life. Unfortunately, you have died. It might be short, but your life is over."

BZZZTTT

Someone suddenly spoke to me in a pure white room.

The sudden turn of events confused me.

It was just Aq-

Ghhh!

My head hurts!

What was it again?

In the room was a set of office desk and chair, and the one who announced that my life was over sat in that chair.

If there was a goddess, she must be it.

Her beauty was beyond the idols shown on television, she had glamour that surpassed humans.

Her long blue hair looked silky smooth.

She seemed to be about my age.

She wasn't too busty or too lacking. She had a light purple hagoromo draped over her clothes.

The beauty blinked her eyes which were the same aqua blue color of her hair, staring at me who didn't know what was going on.

CRACKLE

CRACKLE

… I thought about what happened moments ago.

… It was rare for me who kept staying at home to go outside.

I almost defe-

BZZZTTT

In order to purchase a limited Blu-ray version of a certain famous series movie, I got up early to queue up.

Society addressed people like me as Hikikomori.

It's always been like that.

After buying it, it was time to return home to watch it. I was in a great mood when I thought of that and prepared to return home, but at this moment...

A girl was looking down on her cell phone and walking before me.

WRONG

From her uniform, she should be studying in the same school as me.

I was so close of beating Yos-

GZZZZSSSHHHTTT

Guh!

After seeing the lights turn green, the girl didn't check the traffic and crossed the road directly.

A large shadow loomed towards her.

I was shot do-

BZZTTTT

That must be a large truck heading towards her at high speed.

I lost my consciousn-

CRACKLE CRACKLE

When I came to my senses, I had knocked that girl away.

WRONG!

After that...

... I asked the beauty before me with a mysteriously calm emotion:

"... Can I ask one thing?"

The beauty nodded in response to my question.

"Please go ahead."

I asked calmly.

"Can you stop imitating and distort my memory?"

"I see, so you managed to notice it."

Then, my memories slowly came back starting from this point onward.

As the fake Aqua said that, everything surrounded me crashed down not unlike a glass breaking until only I and the fake Aqua stood on the world filled with white.

"Who are you and what are you planning to do?"

I asked that.

"Nothing really."

"What?"

"Like I said, nothing. I'm here because this is where I live."

"You live here? And tell me, what is this place?"

"You don't know?"

"Of course I don't. Why would I ask if I know?"

I frowned.

This fake goddess somehow isn't as bad as the real one, but somehow, she is annoying me more than that real ones can.

I wonder why.

"Then..."

A bright light came from her.

When it fades, I could finally saw it.

!?

In front of me, there stood.

Another me with Mystic Eyes active.

"What!?"

"You asked who am I, I just answered you."

The other me said.

"Don't screw with me! I asked you a serious question and you dare to answer it with this kind of joke!?"

"How rude, I'm not joking. Because... I don't know how to joke anyway."

"Huh?"

This is weird.

No, this guy is weird.

Heck, what's going on here is weird.

What the fuck!?

"Now, now, I can see that you are confused."

"Of course I am!"

"You are inside yourself."

The other me bluntly said.

"Huh!? Hey, hey, are you seri- Guh!"

I almost defeat Yoshikage.

I dropped down.

Someone shot me down.

I lost my consciousness.

Finally, my latest memory returned.

"I-I-I died..."

"No, not exactly. If you were dead, you wouldn't be here."

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm... How do I put this... You are in a coma not unlike what Shiki Ryougi suffered once."

!?

Wait...

Don't tell me!

"How long it's been since I'm out!?"

I frantically asked.

"No more than a moment ago. Though, it's due to a strange factor that you got in this state. In other words, your condition is similar yet different with Shiki Ryougi."

Huh?

Wait...

Then, can I wake up quicker!?

Also, who he really is? He knows about Shiki, so he must be coming from my previous world.

Don't tell me!?

It's a work of enemy Stand!?

"Haa... Don't lump every weird things related with the work of an enemy Stand, Kazuma."

He sighed.

What?

"You see, I'm no Stand. But, more like a personality who was created quite recently. To simplify it, I'm your version of 「」Shiki."

"That's... Impossible!"

"Really? You accepted the fact that a Dullahan, Giant Toads, Goblins, Kobolds, and many other monsters exist, yet you can't accept the fact that I exist? That's quite strange I say."

When he says it like that, it makes sense.

But...

"Despite all that, their existence can be proved! But you shouldn't exist here! I don't have the traits of Ryougi family nor double personality to allow you to survive existing in me!"

I retort.

"I see. Your reasoning is completely plausible, but I say I'm quite an exception."

"Exception?"

"Yes, normally I would perish since you only possess one personality which will erase my existence, but... I ask of you, when did you receive this 'eyes'?"

He said while pointing at his eyes.

!

"Don't tell me that you managed to exist here due to me receiving my 'Mystic Eyes' and me being older skipped your demise!?"

"It's correct yet not complete at the same time."

"What do you mean?"

This is confusing.

Really confusing.

"It's correct that I was born here when you received the Mystic Eyes, but I lay dormant most of the time, only observing you and acting passive like nothing but a recorder. Your incomplete description is the fact that you said being older skipped my demise. I'd die regardless of age if I exist inside anyone, the one thing that prevented it is you."

"Huh?"

"Sorry, I should've explained it in a better way. It's your experience. I gained a sentience from observing your 'experience' and 'personality'. This is also the reason why I choose to converse to you right now."

"So you are Akasha or the Void version of me?"

"You can say that. Though, compared to Shiki, I'm at least not going to be really passive like her."

"Why's that? Aren't you the personification of Akasha itself?"

"Well, you can say this is your fault. You see, I gained a sentience after taking in your experience and personality, so you can say I'm partly you. Though, calling me Akasha itself is wrong since I am merely a tiny shard of it due to you possessing that Mystic Eyes in the world where I, Alaya, and Gaia didn't exist or exist in a different form. Also, I'm a little bit interested about this world."

I see...

Wait.

Interested in this world?

Did I heard that right?

This friggin mind blowing ridiculous world?

As if knowing what I thought, he said:

"Yes, this ridiculous world. Besides, I can't feel even a faint connection to Alaya nor Gaia in this world. Despite the 'absurdness' and 'ridiculousness' you described, this world seems like a better place than that world. Though, I still found some unpleasant resemblance of undead to dead apostles alike."

Does that mean?

My killing intent when seeing undeads...

"Looking from your face, I can say you guessed right. I am the one who made you feel that killing intent. Had you let yourself accept those killing intent, I will take control of your body and use it to its maximum potential in order to defeat any opposition in the form of those undeads. Though, don't expect my power will be equal to Void Shiki, cause there's no Alaya with its Counter Force to back me up here so that's all I can do."

Well.

That's...

Wait! All these explanation and stuff, but I forgot the important part of my circumstance!

How should I returned back to consciousness!? Shigeki, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness are in danger!

Now I get a feeling so complicated about my situation.

"Well, it seems like you are distressed with something, Satou Kazuma."

He called me.

"How can I get out of here?"

I bluntly asked.

"It's simple, just climb those stair and open the door."

"What stai-"

Before I could finish my sentence, a stairway leading to the sky can be seen several feet away from us.

The hell.

Since when did it exist there!?

"Hey, I don't care if you're a part of Akasha or whatever shit it is, but why don't you tell about this friggin important thing in the first place? God knows what happened to Aqua and the others right now."

With a stoic face, he replied.

"You didn't ask."

...

Did he just pulled a Kotomine on me?

"Well, whatever."

I promptly going forward to the stairway.

"Wait."

He called me.

What is it this time?

"What is it?"

"I want you to do this while walking up on the stairway; Strengthen your will, Don't look back, Don't fall down, Don't give up, and more importantly, don't give in to any voice you will hear even if it's mine or you'll never get out of this place."

"H-H-Hey, are you serious? I thought I was merely in a coma!? That amount of rule is as if I'm trying to get out from hell instead of waking up!"

"Just trust me on this! Also, your body in both world will get weaker by every second you waste walking up on that stairway. Now go!"

"How about you? From the description of yours, this place is dangerous. Why don't you come with me?"

"No, I can't walk on that stairway. But I will also leave this place and returned along you if you do manage to get to the other side of that door."

"Damn, so technically your life is also on my hand?"

"Kind of. Now hurry up and follow those rule."

"Fine, fine."

THUMP THUMP

Taking my first step on the stair, I felt a little jolt to my feet.

You are-

I can hear a faint whisper.

Taking another step, my body felt slightly tired.

Also...

You are an useless piece of shit

Die

Die

A waste of oxygen

The whisper isn't a whisper anymore and it's now louder and audible.

Trying to turn back, I remembered what the other me said;

'Don't look back.'

Ignoring the voice, I walked several step up.

My body is slowly getting sluggish.

Damn, I'm only at a quarter way to the door.

You shame us, Kazuma

I regret giving birth to you

! ! !

The voice of my parents suddenly appeared.

What?

My determination wavered, somehow it caused my sluggish body gets heavier.

Ghh...

It's not them, it's just a voice trying to prevent me leaving this place.

What's this?

Look at him, a pathetic guy

He thought I loved him just because we're close, what a joke!

The voice of a familiar girl joined.

"Ah! ! !"

Cupping both my ears, I walked forward.

I'm halfway to the door and felt like crying.

That damned memories.

Those words are true.

That's why it's painful.

Both of my legs now felt like being tied with a rock on each of them.

But I still pushed forward.

Did you hear that?

What is it?

Satou Kazuma never came back after that

Oh? How pathetic, just because he's rejected he got all emo and shits, how disgusting

Yeah, I feel bad for his parents

He's a waste of space

Shut up...

Look, that's the stupid dropout

Let's get away from him, I don't want to be infected by his uselessness

Shut up... Shut up...

It's a quarter way to go, but my legs felt like being restrained by steel ball.

My will to go is barely surviving this mental onslaught.

Look, he's now a hikikomori

What a joke

I thought he has a bright future, but turns out he's that weak

NEET like you should just die!

BUGH!

Three more steps to the door, I fell on my knees.

"AHHHHHH! ! !"

Unable to stop myself from getting all those truth, I yelled in tears.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

I clamped shut my ears even more, but the voice won't go away.

USELESS

FOOL

GOOD FOR NOTHING

A SHIT

BURDEN

"SATOU KAZUMA, Don't you dare listening to any voice you've heard!"

!?

The other personality of mine yelled out loud.

That's right.

I got important things to do.

And that is-

"You should just give up and stay here if you can't take it."

He said that calmly.

Huh?

I can do that?

Then, I'll take a break from this mental tortu-

Promptly letting my will go, I almost gave up.

"Don't give up, Kazuma! If you do, it's over for you!"

His voice came back again.

What?

But he just said.

"Don't mind that voice, Kazuma. You need to take a break, I know those voices are quite painful for your heart."

He said that again.

What the heck is going on!?

Stupid hikiNEET

Good for nothing

Useless human

Fool

The voices assaulted me again.

"Satou Kazuma! Right here and now, the enemy you fight against isn't someone else, it's a battle against yourself! If you can't get your act together or you lose your will to live now, it's over!"

He yelled out loud.

"Don't listen to that voice, Kazuma. Your body is too weak to even take another step, just get back and rest your body, you've gone through a lot."

That's right.

My body is now felt like being chained with tons of steel weighing around ten times my body's weight.

To move forward is absurd.

Besides, I can climb this later on.

Being like this, I'll probably get hurt even worse if I continued.

But...

Aqua, Darkness, Megumin, Shigeki...

Sorry, I'll take a bit rest.

I'm not strong enough to get out of here for now.

"Yes, take a break for now. You can get to them la-"

"You expect me to believe that, aren't you?"

"What!?"

"Guh... I know you aren't the real other me. If you really are the one who absorbed a part of my experience and personality, you wouldn't be a stoic bastard who can calmly told me to give up."

Dragging myself toward the door, my legs failed me and I fell down face first.

"Ha, it's useless. You can't even walk toward that door anymore."

"So what!? I will pass through that door even if I have to crawl or drag my body!"

Using my hand to drag myself forward, I'm one step closer to the door and the voices intensifies.

Die

Die!

You useless piece of shit!

Trash of the community!

Hikikomori and NEET like you should die!

Coward!

You shouldn't exist

"Yeah, that's right. I, Satou Kazuma am a hikikomori and NEET!"

! ! !

WHAT?!

I yelled as I grabbed the doorknob.

Guh!

I grit my teeth as I slowly stood up using the doorknob as my crutch.

"Even so! I will live my life to the fullest in the new world despite its ridiculousness and stupidity! I will also admit that I am a coward hikiNEET, but so what!? That doesn't mean I will keep walking in the path of being useless! Laugh if you want! But I will use those traits of mine to create a path to the greatness!"

I declared while turning the doorknob and opened it.

Ghhh.

A bright light engulfed my view.

When I opened my eyes, I was in the same white room as before.

What?

Did I failed?

I see

All the voice that insulted me before suddenly spoke at the same time.

"What!?"

You are that resolved, huh?

Then, you are worthy for That

"「That」?"

Rejoice, Satou Kazuma!

Your resolve will be rewarded!

With that declaration, another bright light engulfed my view.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that now I stood at the place where I fell before.


-o-


"Kazuma!" x4

Aqua and the others called me out few distance away from me.

Seems like I'm back to this world.

Looking down, I saw an ornately decorated arrow on the ground and...

Somehow the wounds I've suffered before I was out in a coma is gone and I felt better than ever.

Then, I felt something is floating behind me.

"啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊...! ! ! I-I-Impossible! This can't be! Y-Y-You! How did you!?"

Yoshikage fell on his butt and points his finger to something behind me.

I looked back and saw something that surprised me.

A yellow humanoid-like being is floating behind me. It has a build similar to mine, but the appearance is another matter as it's wearing nothing on it's top, showing its bare chest packed with enough, but not too much muscle with 'INITIAL' word on it with an hourglass directly below it, a spiky golden hair, a tattered trousers with tear on its knees, a pair of gloves in both hands with the right one has the word 'HELL' and left one has the word '2 U' written on the back of the hand, but the prominent thing is that it wore a blindfold with the word 'OFF LIMIT' written on it.

"This is my..."

"...「Stand」!?"

Yoshikage shouted.

"啊! You should be dead! There's no way you could be alive after getting hit by that 「Arrow」! Damn it!"

He yelled out.

I see...

So the thing that hit my back is the 「Arrow」, huh?

And now I got a 「Stand」!

I wonder what's the ability of my Stand?

"Ghh... No matter, I'll kill you before you could use your Stand! 「Blaster King」!"

His Stand appeared behind him.

"「Mine's Field」!"

As he said that, many mines appeared around me.

Fuck.

They're all detonatable mines!

"Goodbye, fool!"

He snapped his fingers.

Oh cra-

BOOM!

A huge explosion occurred at where Kazuma stood.

When the dust settled, the place where he stood is now a huge crater.

"Hahahahahaha! I finally end this stupid fanfic early!"

Yoshikage laughed hard.

"Really? Then, who's going to be the next main character? You? Don't be joking."

The voice from the left side few distance away from the crater brought Yoshikage's attention.

Something unbelievable happened.

"啊啊啊! How did you survive that!?"

"Kazuma!" x4

Yoshikage pointed at Kazuma who stood away from the crater.

"It's simple really, my Stand did it."

Few seconds ago...

Oh crap, he's going to blew me up!

Somehow sensing a danger, my Stand swiped his hand in front of me and some sort of portal appeared then, my Stand quickly dragged me.

"Where am I?"

I muttered.

I'm currently at the white space not unlike the one I've been before in my temporary comatose state.

In front of me is an image of some sort of a map of the place where we fought Yoshikage. There's red pointer at the crater(where I should be) and a blue circle surrounding it around 10 m.

Pick where you'd want to be dropped at, your Stand will drop you there, you only have 1 second left before it drops you randomly, think quick Satou Kazuma!

A voice suddenly spoke.

It's the same voice of the other me!

1 second!?

I think I should listen to it.

Pointing at the left side of the crater, but still inside the blue circle, my Stand promptly appeared in front of me and swiped the area I pointed at.

Suddenly, I was back to the battlefield and on my right, a smoking crater where I was bombed.

"Hahahahahaha! I finally end this stupid fanfic early!"

Yoshikage laughed hard.

What?

Did he really thinks that I already died?

Time to scare the shit out of him.

"Really? Then, who's going to be the next main character? You? Don't be joking."

"啊啊啊! How did you survive that!?"

"Kazuma!" x4

Yoshikage pointed at me while the others exclaimed in surprise.

"It's simple really, my Stand did it."

"Don't tell me!? Your Stand can teleports your away!?"

Pointing my index finger of my right hand to the sky with my left hand support it by holding my right elbow, I spread my legs at shoulder length while my Stand entangle around me.

I struck a pose.

"Yes, Yes, Yes!"

Then, I brought my raised arm down before pointing my index finger to him. I said:

"The one who'll going to judge you is my Stand!"

[Menacing]

Then, I send a mental command to my Stand for swiping its hand forward to teleports me again.

But...

"Eh?"

I muttered that.

My Stand is just swiping the air multiple times like a moron trying to swat a fly. No portal. Nothing happened.

Eh!?

"Hahahahaha! I see! Now it makes sense!"

"What?"

"Your Stand's ability needs time to recharge! A Stand with that kind of ability is bound to possess a weakness!"

Then, I looked back at my Stand to see that the hourglass on its chest is slowly filling down.

From the looks of it, one more minute before it's full.

OH SHIT!

The cooldown and the duration of escaping enemy's attack is too imbalanced!

"Die!"

Yoshikage said while his Stand is starting to plant mines.

I promptly activate Ehwaz rune on my boots again and partly materialize my Stand's leg on my real ones to run like sanic.

Gtg fast or I'm gonna get rekt!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Running around in circle, I tried to avoid his bombing run using his detonatable mines.

"啊! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

I exclaimed while trying to escape his bombing run.

3 more seconds!

"Got you!"

He said as he caged me with two explosion incoming.

"!"

I reflectively use my Stand's ability.

Inside the white world, like before I only have 2 seconds before I will be returned to the place I've previously been or when I choose where to teleport.

But my position is bad as I'm cornered by the wall of forest's tree!

Two minutes later

"Where is he!?"

Yoshikage yelled while walking toward the place where Kazuma disappeared.

"「Mine's Field」!"

As he said that, many mines were set around the forest nearby where Kazuma disappeared.

"Farewell, you stupid mongrel!"

Yoshikage said while turning back.

CLICK

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The forest behind him was engulfed in a great explosion.

Luckily it was snowy, thus preventing the forest to caught on a forest's fire.

"Yo, Yoshikage. You seemed happy, care to share what's going on?"

[Menacing]

"!?"

Yoshikage turned back...

Only to see Kazuma stood behind him with his Stand, only slightly injured with some burnt patches on his clothings.

"啊啊啊啊啊啊啊! ! ! Y-You! You shouldn't be alive! How did you!?"

A minute ago...

Inside the white world, like before I only have 2 seconds before I will be returned to the place I've previously been or when I choose where to teleport.

But my position is bad as I'm not cornered by the wall of forest's tree!

That's it!

Pointing at one of the part in the forest, my Stand promptly teleported me to the bushes.

"'Hide'!"

Casting the skill I usually used for scouting, my presence faded.

Two minutes waiting for him, I heard him yelling out.

"Where is he!?"

Yoshikage yelled while walking toward the place where I disappeared.

"「Mine's Field」!"

Heh.

He only set the detonatable mines.

"Farewell, you stupid mongrel!"

He said while turning back.

I promptly summoned my Stand to offer a little bit of protection to endure the explosion.

CLICK

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

He didn't even look back at the detonation.

Using the loud noise of explosion, I leaped forward and landed around 3 m behind him.

Present

"Hee...Hahahahahahaha! Fool! When you were explaining about your tactics, I already set the mines around your friends!"

He said while preparing to snap his finger.

[Menacing]

"You know, at this range, you can't use your mines since it'll also kill you and my Stand can beat you to pulp too you know?"

I cracked my knuckles.

Trying to use my friends as a hostage huh?

"Stay back! If you dare to move against me, I'll snap my finger and blow your friends to bits!"

He said nervously.

"Wanna try?"

"What?"

CRACK! ! !

The sound of bone crunched can be heard as Yoshikage's right hand's fingers bent toward the wrong directions.

That's gotta be hurt.

"Gahhhhh! Bastard! How could you attacked me unprepared like that!? You coward piece of shit!"

He said while clutching his right hand.

"Who says I'm an honorable knight? Besides, I'll do even underhanded tactics if it means to beat my enemy like what I'm gonna do to you now."

CRACK! ! !

"啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊! ! ! FUCCKKKKKKKKK! ! !"

Seeing that he's going to use his left fingers to detonate the mines, my Stand reflexively crushed his left hand before he could even make a snapping gesture.

Now his left hand's fingers suffered the same fate as his right's.

"It's USELESS, USELESS, USELESS! My Stand can see and reacts faster than you can click your left hand's fingers. Though, this confirms that you are no difference than me in using underhanded tactics. But the reason why you lose because..."

I balled both of my hand into a fist.

"Your tactic is far inferior to mine!"

"Hii!"

He retreated back a few step.

Apparently, he was struck in fear as he's unable to run.

"Any last word?"

"啊..."

He muttered weakly.

"I'll take that as a no."

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA KARA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ! ! !

My Stand's fist rained down on him like a machine gun and ended with a final punch to his chin, sending him flying away.

"啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

He screamed as he was sent flying several meters away and lied down on the ground, twitching for a bit before he fell unconscious.

Yoshikage Shidou

Status : Beaten to pulp/Retire

"Nice job, Kazuma! That punch must be satisfying no? Also, congratulation for somehow getting a Stand."

Shigeki walked up to me.

I promptly let my Stand disappeared.

"Kazuma! What was that thing floating behind you earlier!? That looks cool!"

Megumin said with sparkling eyes.

As expected for a chuuni like her.

"That was my Stand."

"Stand? As in the same Stand like that Yoshikage owned!?"

Darkness joined.

"Hmm... Kinda..."

"Can I test my defense against the punches of your Sta-"

"Refused."

"Muu..."

What a great way to mess up the mood, Darkness.

I'm sure my Stand will get a feeling so complicated doing that.

"By the way, Kazuma. What do you call that Stand of yours?"

Shigeki asked.

Hmm...

To think about it, I need to name my Stand.

Let's see...

Portal Transferer?

Teleporter?

Transporter?

Trying to come up for a cool name, I instead come up with many ridiculous name.

Naming it is hard...

Or my naming sense is bad.

Ah!

That's right.

Why don't I name it after the one who encouraged me in getting this Stand and the place where the Stand sent me!

"My Stand's name is The Void : Initiation!"

The Void : Initiation!

Owner : Satou Kazuma

A Stand with high speed and precision with the power of short teleportation through unique means!

The ability's name is Void's Phase

"Now let's take care about him. I also wants to ask something to him."

I said while picking up the 「Arrow」 from the ground.

To Be Continued(Roundabout theme)

Stand's Stat :

「The Void : Initiation」

User : Satou Kazuma

Stats :

Destructive Power : C

Speed : B

Durability : C

Range : E~D(only when he used 「Void's Phase」)

Precision : B

Development Potential : B

Abilities

Void's Phase : 「Void's Phase」 is an ability possessed by 「The Void : Initiation」 which allows it to create a portal leading to an unknown world which allows Satou Kazuma to enters it and stay for 2 seconds before being randomly teleported or when he decides the place where he'll be sent. This ability's range is 10 m and possess a drawback in the form of 2 minutes cooldown that can be seen on the hourglass on 「The Void : Initiation」's chest.

High Precision : 「The Void : Initiation」 is capable of detecting even the slight movement its opponent made and reacts just as fast.

Fast Movement : 「The Void : Initiation」 possess a high speed as it significantly boost Kazuma's running speed when he partly materialize its legs on his and its punch can match the speed of machine gun.

Author's Note :

Like usual, nothing much to say for myself. But for the people who wonders why I choose such Stand with that ability and stat, I'll explain it down below. But first, now we finally know what happened in the cliffhanger of the previous chapter as Kazuma was unfortunately shot down and it's the 「Arrow」! Next, to rub the salt into the wounds, his willpower to survive that isn't that high and it was tested with Kazuma losing. But! The impossibility that is his other personality, Void Kazuma somehow snapped back Satou Kazuma's resolve and proved himself to be strong enough to grants him a Stand! What is the mystery behind Yoshikage and his possession of the 「Arrow」? What is going to happen from now on since Kazuma discover the other personality than him? What kind of influence the Stand will bring to this story? Find out later!

A little reassurance that the Stand won't overtake the ability that Kazuma learned in this story, cause it's dumb to do that.

Note : Below here is the reason of Kazuma's Stand and Ability, read this if you really can't find out why he got that kind of Stand or if you're just plain curious or you want to prove your speculation correct or not. Whatever.

His Stand, 「The Void : Initiation」 is a close ranged Stand with small range ability. It symbolizes his resolve of accepting his flaws and facing this world as a better person, its ability, Void's Phase」 is the ability based of his personality : a coward who tries to run away from reality. Disappearing(Running) away from a battle to a safe location just like how he was in the previous world as he ran away from a problem, but only to cause even worse problem to appear. The short amount of time he stayed in the some sort of pocket dimension and the mere 10 m range of teleportation symbolizes the resolve that he's no longer a person who ran away from the problem he'll going to face, but still exhibit a trait of cowardliness, not because of being scared, but because of being careful on how to deal with the problem he's going to face. His average stat Stand despite it being a close range type symbolize his new life in this world, wanting to start over as a better person than what he is in the previous world. P.S : High Speed and Precision came from the fact that he's fast on the run(part of his cowardly behavior) and from being perceptive and careful in most thing he does.
