Quick note: This is a double upload with the next chapter. The rest of the author's notes are at the end of the chapter.
Everyone was silent, with the sound of fire crackling and the water fountain gushing not making the whole place silent.
Then all the delinquents cheered, celebrating that they are all alive, locked behind the bar again be damned.
Yuuka breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it was all finally over, while Suzumi just sat down as she felt her legs give out. Hasumi and Chinatsu smiled at each other as they carried Shun by the shoulder to get her to a comfortable area to rest.
Meanwhile, Wakamo stared at the humanoid grasshop- no, the superhero, in the distance as something seemed to stir inside her.
Her heart was beating very fast, she felt her cheeks flaring up and she couldn't take her eyes off Ichigata.
She felt like wanting to get closer to him. Wakamo could not stop imagining herself close to him… hugging him… and…
"W-wait… am I-"
"There she is." Wakamo's thoughts were broken by Yuuka's voice. She turned behind her and saw the Millennium student holding a handcuff and pointing a pistol at her. "You better come with us, or else."
If Wakamo was like any other delinquent around here, then she would have accepted and surrendered herself.
But this fox girl was not a repeat offender if she did that. She will always have a plan of escape.
The success rate is another story.
"Well… I would love to…" Wakamo said as she raised one of her arms up. "But my job here is done."
Finishing that sentence, Wakamo quickly pulled out an object behind her and sprinted. Yuuka's immediate reaction was to shoot at it, which was completely futile as it was just a piece of rock.
Yuuka quickly looks away from the distraction, only to see that Wakamo had already run into an alleyway, meaning that chasing her in a tight spot would be useless.
Yuuka clicked her tongue, frustrated that she had been distracted by Wakamo. "Darn it…"
Hasumi walked towards Yuuka from behind and placed her hand on the shorter girl's shoulder. "Do not dwell on it right now. We still have the delinquents to place the handcuff, Shun to help heal up, and reclaim the Schale club room."
Yuuka huffed at the comment. "Fine, let's get the building back first. But let's try and see if we could call the vice president to get the delinquents back to the Correction Bureau."
Yuuka nodded in silence and joined Hasumi in making sure that the delinquents are either captured or given to Chinatsu for medical treatment.
Saito looked at all Yuuka and the rest of the students performing their duty, with Shun being the only one who stayed back. He walked in her direction while pushing the lever, closing the Progrise Key, and then pulled it out of the driver.
The armor then dissipates into the air and now he is back and reverts back to his normal self, biker jacket and all.
He got close to her and sat beside her. "Are you alright?"
Shun gave him a reassuring smile and massaged her thigh lightly. "I am fine. It is not as painful right now. Shame I am not able to help them."
Saito shakes his head and reassures her. "No need to feel that way. You had done your part in the fight. So rest now."
"If you insist, Sensei…"
Saito nodded and then stood back up, deciding to help Yuuka and the rest in arresting other delinquents.
Once again, unknown to him, someone watching him in the distance on top of a building.
"... To think I would see him again… and here too…"
The figure muttered quietly before walking away from the scene, unbeknownst to everyone.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Sensei- what happened here?"
After handcuffing and making sure that most of the delinquents were given proper medical attention, Saito and the rest of the students slowly walked towards the Schale building, finally achieving their objective.
When all of them reached the building, Yuuka was finally able to contact Rin. She explained briefly to her what happened and requested her to bring the Valkyrie Police to take the captured students away. Rin complied, stating that she would also come to the building now that all the threats are cleared.
Currently, both Rin and Saito are in the basement of the Schale Building. Looking around her surroundings, she noted how the place was in a messy state, as if there was a battle, with the floating object being the only thing that came out without damage.
"Not sure, it was like this when I came here. Must be the result of the fight between the Magia and Wakamo." Saito answered. "But why are you surprised by the state of this room? Doesn't all the damage outside give us a clue that the basement will not be pretty looking?"
"To answer your question, Saito Sensei, I was under the assumption that no one knew this place. But it would seem I was wrong." She sighs as she finishes her explanation, then she reaches into her jacket and pulls out a tablet. "Regardless, here, take this."
He took the tablet and looked at it for a few seconds. "This is…"
"One of the last things that the President left for you other than the items that were given to you back at our HQ. The Shittim Chest." Rin said.
"The Shittim Chest…" Saito repeated the name in a silent whisper, feeling some sort of familiarity with the smart tablet in his hand."Where did you guys even get this?"
Rin could only shrug. "We honestly don't know. The manufacturer, the OS, system structure, components that made this tablet and where did the President get this, we don't know. What she did say about this was that it would help take back control of the tower along with your key card."
The elf woman continued. "We don't know how to activate it. Perhaps you might know, but if you don't…"
There is nothing to be said, they both know the implication. Regardless, Saito had to try. So he decides to ruminate and see if there is something that he might know.
…
"... I think I know how to open it."
"You do?" Rin asked.
The teacher silently nodded and opened the Shittim Chest. The tablet screen lit up and letters began to move on the screen.
…
"Connecting to the Shittim Chest…
Please enter the password."
When he looked at the screen, Saito felt a tug in his brain, as if telling him what the password was.
Taking advantage of it, he began to type it out quickly. And once he finished, he looked at the password.
"We thirst for the seven wailings. We bear the koan of Jericho."
After a second the password was entered, a ping sound was heard from the tablet and the screen showed that the password was correct.
"Password accepted. User identifies as Ichigata. Confirmed"
"Ichigata? And not Saito? Is there a reason behind it?" Saito silently thought as he stared at the tablet screen. He quickly shook his head and saw the text had moved on.
"Welcome to the Shittim Chest, Saito Sensei. Converting to the operating system ARONA for biological authentication and certificate verification. Please place the keycard on the box."
Then the screen showed a rectangle with said instruction on top of it. Saito fished out his keycard from his jacket and placed it on top of the table and a ping sound was heard.
"Certificate verified. Connecting to OS ARONA."
The tablet then lit up brightly, causing both Rin and Saito to shield their eyes for a little while. After that, both of them opened their eyes and noticed a snoring sound coming from the tablet. Rin walked closer to Saito and they both saw…
"A little girl?" Saito said.
The screen now showed them a strange classroom. Endless blue sky and the ocean can be seen in the background and the wall of the classroom was half destroyed. There is a hill of tables and chairs right outside the classroom, with only 7 tables and chairs left in the classroom.
On one of the seats, Saito saw a sleeping little girl. She has short light blue hair, tied by a white tie making it like a pair of ears. From what he can see, she wore a blue sailor uniform and a white skirt. Like any other girl that Saito saw, she has a halo, this time it is blue in color.
"...*nom* Cake…"
"Huh? Cake?"
Saito shifted his ears closer to the tablet, hoping that he could hear the girl's sleep talk clearer. Of course, he was not expecting what was coming out of her mouth.
"...*nom* Castelle cake… Banana cake… goes better than strawberry milk…"
Rin blinked a few times before she turned her head towards Sensei. Though her expression is neutral, he could tell the puzzled look in her eyes. "Did- did you hear what she said?"
Saito could only dumbly nod. "Yeah, I heard it."
They both let the girl mutter words in her talk in her sleep for a little longer, until Saito decided that he needed to wake her up.
He touched the screen, where her cheek is, once. He expected nothing much, but he saw the girl stirred in her sleep. Seeing that, he decided to 'poke' her cheek one more time, which successfully stirred her up from her sleep.
At least that was what he thought, as he literally saw her stand up from her seat… and proceed to sleepwalk her way to the front of the screen.
She then let out a rather cute yawn, albeit with some static in her voice. "What's going… on?"
"Huh?" She then blinked a few times before she stared in front of her, seemingly seeing Saito and Rin in front of her.
Then her cheek suddenly flushed and rapidly turned her head from left to right confusingly, letting out rather incomprehensible sounds before she stared at Saito.
"S-sensei?! If you're here, that means you are Ichigata sensei, right?" the girl asked.
Saito raised his eyebrow, and then asked her. "Erm, yeah, I am the sensei you are talking about… but why call me Ichigata sensei? My name is Sendou Saito, Ichigata was what the Magia called me actually. What's your name?"
Somehow, her halo was not a perfect circle anymore as she panicked. "Wait, but the system- it registered you under that name? Did it record it wrong?" Then she let out a squeak and continued. "Wait, there was a Magia? W-where is it right now? Don't tell me it's running around right now!"
Saito quickly tapped the screen once more, this time on her forehead, which made her stop her panic. "IT'S OK!" He quickly shouted. Then Saito coughed, and recomposed himself. "Calm down, I have beaten the Magia already. It's all alright now."
The girl blinked once, then twice, before her eyes seemed to shine from what he said. "You have beaten a Magia?! That's… amazing!"
After that statement, she turned her head slightly and noticed Rin. Her cheeks were flushed once again before she shyly looked at the Vice President. "Oh, erm… I'm so sorry about not addressing you just now…"
Rin shook her head. "It's alright." She reassured the girl. "Now then, would you like to introduce yourself?"
"Um, oh right… I forgot to introduce myself." The girl reminded herself.
She then makes a small bow and introduces herself. "My name is Arona. I am the system manager living inside the Shittim Chest and serve as its main OS! You can think of me as your trusty secretary, Sensei!"
Saito hummed and nodded. "Nice to meet you too, Arona. As I said, my name's Sendou Saito… at least I think I am. You can call me Saito Sensei. Next to me is the Vice President of the General Student Council, Nanagami Rin."
"Nice to meet both of you! I'm so happy to meet you finally, Sensei! I've been waiting for so long!" The newly identified AI said happily.
"I guess I was pretty slow if I somehow made you sleep while waiting for me." Saito jokes.
"W-well, it's alright. At least now we finally meet." She stuttered. "Erm, Sensei, can I quickly ask how my current form is right now?"
He raised his eyebrow, wondering why she would ask this question. He then asked her why, which led to her reply. "My physical form is still small, and my voice does need a serious upgrade. But I hope that I can prove to be useful to you!"
Sensei sighs and lets out a small smile, he lightly touches her forehead again and then replies to her worry. "You don't have to worry. I'm very sure you will be very helpful to me. I don't think supervising an entire city is a one-man job, so I do need all the help I can get."
Arona happily said a thank you to him, having her worry eased up. "Oh yeah, let's finish up your biological authentication."
She then walked even closer to the screen and then held out a single finger. "Ok, Sensei, you just have to touch my finger with your fingertip. I-it's part of the protocol, ok?"
Saito followed her instruction and touched where her finger was. She giggled and smiled. "Hehehe, this is kind of like we are making a promise or something, right?"
"Yeah, we are kind of making a promise to each other right? You help me with many things that will come, and I fulfill my role as a teacher. Sounds like a good promise right?" The teacher smiled at her statement.
Arona giggled again. "Yeah, that's a promise!"
Then after a few seconds, she said "All done! Don't worry about other people accessing the Shittim Chest in the future, I got eyes like a hawk!"
"I trust you then."
Arona nodded and then seemed to stare off into the space for about 10 seconds, then her body suddenly jerked. "All done!"
"Thank you, Arona." Saito praised, which prompted Arona to smile and giggled in happiness. "Now then… since you had been sleeping for a while now, need me to catch you up to date?"
Saito spent the next half an hour explaining to the AI what happened since he woke up. He did also tell her about his amnesia, so anything that happened before his first memories were filled up by Rin.
"... I see… so many things have happened huh?" Arona muttered. "The GSC President disappearing, no control on the Sanctum Tower… and the Magia start attacking now…"
"Yeah…" Saito agreed with her. "Say, you know anything about the President."
Arona shocked her head and gave him a sad expression. "I'm sorry… I got a lot of info about Kivotos, but I basically got nothing on the President. Neither on who she is nor why she disappeared. Sorry."
"It's alright. Besides, we got the Vice President to fill me up on who the President is, so don't beat yourself up over this, ok?"
Rin nodded. Then the Vice President began to ask. "So I assume that you know what these Magia robots are correct, Arona?"
That question brightened up Arona, moving away from the previous question. "Yup. Got a lot of info about them. I can tell you guys if you want."
Rin said, "Go ahead." And then Arona cleared her throat (something that she doesn't really need to do, to begin with), and began her explanation.
"Magias are hacked robots or newly manufactured robots that are connected to the Decagramattion, an AI that called itself a new God. These Magias are all manufactured by Decagramattion's Ten Prophets, giant robots that independently promote their God and cause destruction and chaos."
She then continued. "All the Magias used a Zetsumeriser and a Zetsumerisekey, like Sensei with his Cycloneriser and his Rocking Hopper Zetsumerisekey. They had to be hacked by Decagramattion via placing the Zetsumeriser on the robot, then they transform into a Magia from placing the Zetsumerisekey into the Henshin Belt."
"So I have a different transformation device from them, but we used the same activation key to transform…" Saito mused.
His face then darkens, wondering if he is the same as the Magias. From the way Arona explained it, it seems to indicate that he carried the same origin.
"Does that mean I am also…"
"Sensei," Rin snapped him out of his mind. "Despite having a similar method to transform, I believe that you should not be concerned about being similar to our new enemy. You have shown that you are willing to protect the students with your power, even if it is just one time right now. So we believe you."
Hearing her reassurance, Saito nodded in silence and just gave her a small smile. He then muttered "Continue" and Arona continued her explanation.
"I'm pretty sure you already know this, but to stop the Magia, we have to destroy it or the belt they are using. But right now, I don't think most Kivotos have the firepower to fight them back… aside from using tanks and other forms of concentrated firepower."
Saito then asked. "So you are saying that the robots that I saw on the streets are all vulnerable to becoming a Magia? Do you think you are able to make a prevention method for it or something?"
Arona, once again, gave him a sad look. "Sorry, Sensei. As of right now, I don't have that much data on Magia's right now, so I don't think I can create a prevention method right now since the belt was..."
"Oh yeah…" Saito muttered, remembering how he completely destroyed it.
"Well, let's not dwell on that right now, Sensei. We need to fix the Sanctum Tower first to get things in order right now." Rin said.
"Right, I can help on this one! Let me restore the permission in a few seconds!" Arona said.
Just as Arona said, in a few seconds, the lights in the Schale Club Room were restored and he could hear multiple electronic devices in the distance that began to activate too.
"All done! Sanctum Tower is now up and running! The tower's now under my control."
"... I don't like the implication, but what does that mean?" Saito asked.
"It means all of Kivotos is in your palm, Saito Sensei."
"Give majority authority to the General Student Councils PLEASE." Saito replied.
"Majority?" Arona asked.
"Yeah." He said, pushing up his glass (something that he had not done this whole day). "I know I would be too busy with being a teacher in Kivotos, my past and the whole Magia thing to be concerned about, but I felt that at the very least having access to Schale Building is fine, right?"
Rin pushed her glasses too. "Well, it would not affect us too much. The General Student Council will still be able to manage the city as well as before. So go ahead."
Arona hummed and began her work on giving access to the respective people. Rin then received a call, and she quickly walked away and took the call.
Saito looked at the elf woman for a bit, before he turned and faced the AI once more. "Hey, Arona… do you have any info about me?"
Arona placed her hand on her chin and closed her eyes, making Saito assume that she is going through the files about him in the Shittim Chest. Then she opened her eyes and waved her hands which immediately showed a document.
"Here ya go, this is all the information I got about you, Sensei. It's not much, but I hope you got something out of it."
Sensei shook his head and just told her that he appreciates her effort. With that done, Rin walked back to Saito.
"Sanctum Tower's control has been restored. It should give the GSC all the ability to restore everything back to normal." Rin said.
Saito nodded, happy that things will be back to how it was… as far as what he knows of course.
Although…
"So what happened to the delinquents that Yuuka and the rest captured?" Saito asked.
"They will be transported to the Correction Bureau." She said. "We will provide all the medical aid that they need, but they will be placed behind the bars."
"I see…"
In the limited view he has, Saito felt that the need for putting students into basically a prison in all but name is rather uncomfortable. He knows that there might be several good reasons from what he has seen so far, but that one delinquent who saved him told him that it might be more complicated than it seems.
Whatever the reason is, he will have to see Kivotos with his own two eyes and form his opinion from there.
"Still, thank you Sensei. You have been a tremendous help today to the General Student Council, especially with the Magia." Rin continued.
"No," Saito said. "You should thank Yuuka and the rest, even the delinquents. They were willing to risk everything to fight back against impossible odds, so you should give them the credit. Plus without you, I think I would be directionless in the street, so thank you."
The elf woman blushed, before she cleared her throat, trying to fight it down. "I appreciate it, Sensei. Still, there is one thing left to do, I want you to follow me. Don't worry, I will call someone over to clean up this place afterward, so let's ignore this for a little while."
With a nod, both of them decide to leave the basement and move to their next location.
The teacher and the Vice President had moved towards the elevator of the building. The Vice President chose the highest floor of the building, which led to them waiting for a little while before the door finally opened.
Both of them then walked towards a glass door with the Schale logo on the side and a paper stick on the glass door. From what he can see inside, it is an empty office, with only a larger desk with three monitors and a desktop, a desk lamp, and several boxes stewed around the office. Other things that he noticed are the empty shelves, the guns on the wall, and a whiteboard.
"This is the main office of Schale. It was not occupied for a very long time, but now this place is yours."
Then she pulled out a key card and tapped on a scanner beside the glass door. The scanner beeped in approval and she was able to open the door, letting both of them enter the room.
"You can also consider this as the Schale Club Room, where you will be working from now on."
"... Definitely rather big for one person to work in."
"You'll get used to it."
Then he walked towards the empty desk (his desk) and placed the smart tablet on it, then looked around his surroundings, taking in every detail.
"I wonder where the bridge above leads to?" He thought as he saw the bridge right above his desk.
"So… Rin, before I am here, what was Schale's work actually, might help me grasp the full scope of my job." Saito asked.
Rin pushed up her glasses and answered his question. "Well, it might sound absurd, but there is no particular goal that Schale has as of right now."
She then continued. "Aside from what I said in the car early today, you do have quite a lot of freedom as both the teacher and, as much as I don't really like to use the word, a problem solver."
"Problem solver?"
"Yes," Rin nodded. "The General Student Council usually is flooded with many kinds of requests and civil complaints, especially now we are having our hands full finding the President. Requests can range from environmental aids and providing support materials, to saving failing clubs."
"And this is where Schale comes in, right?"
"If that is what you want to do right now, then we are glad to have your assistance, Sensei." Rin gave him a grateful smile. "I will send you all the documents on your desk afterward, for now, I think you would need to rest after what happened today. Please review them when you have the time."
"Of course to make things easier for your job as our teacher, you can freely enter any academy district, and you can recruit any students as a club member of Schale."
Saito nodded. "I think I might need to recruit students, I definitely can't do all this by myself. I'll be counting on all of you then."
"We will be counting on you too then." Rin smiled. With nothing left to do, Rin turned around and began to walk out of the office. "Best of luck with your new position, Sensei. Let me know if you need anything in the future."
He stared at her for a little bit as she walked away, then he turned back to his desk and took the Shittim Chest, which displays Arona, who has a deadpan expression.
"So~"
"What?"
"Are you going to read the document I gave you now?" Arona asked.
He looked at the document briefly before he looked back outside and shook his head. "Well, there is still one more thing to do."
Saito walked out of the elevator and saw Shun sitting on one of the sofas in the lobby. She noticed him and waved at him with a smile. The other students also noticed Sensei and began to approach him.
"So, finished everything you need to do?" Yuuka asked.
"Yup," Saito replied. "It's definitely a lot to take in though. That and the Sanctum Tower are now under control, so no need to worry."
"Wakamo had escaped to other districts already though," Hasumi noted. " but I'm sure she will be found out and captured."
"That was a terrible miscalculation on my part, I won't get distracted by her tactics again." Yuuka muttered darkly.
"We get there when we get there."
Deciding not to dwell too much on her failure, Yuuka changed the topic, mainly about the teacher. "Still… I was right about that device, right Sensei?"
"You got it right on the money on that one, so good job, and thanks, Yuuka." Saito praised her, earning a blush from her. "I want to say thanks to all of you too, I don't think we can reclaim this tower without you four."
The response he got was "Your welcome" and a little grumble from Yuuka. A little while later, Yuuka mentioned that all of them had to return to their respective academy, whether to rest or to report to their superiors.
"Do drop by our academy soon, alright Sensei?" Yuuka said with a smile.
"Yeah, I'll settle with everything here first then I'll see when I can visit all of you." Saito agreed. "Do take care of yourself alright? And your transport will be here soon, right Shun.?"
"Yes." Right when the woman replied, they all saw a car pass by and stopped at the entrance of the building, which prompted her to get up as Hasumi assisted her. "I'll see you soon then, Mr. Send- I mean Saito Sensei."
"You can still call me Mr. Saito, it really doesn't matter to me."
All Shun did was nod at him and began slowly walking to her transport, while the other students also began to exit the building.
"See you soon too, Sensei, be sure to come to Trinity General School soon, okay?" Suzumi said as she exited. To which Saito joked "No promises."
Then it was Chinatsu who gave him a farewell, "I'll be going too, Sensei. If your work takes you to Gehenna Academy, be sure to say hi."
He nodded and waved at her, which only led to Yuuka. "Before I go, there is something I need to give you."
She went to her pocket and pulled out a piece of folded paper. "Apparently one of the delinquents told me to give this to you when we were being taken back to the Bureau. I don't know why or what is inside there, but my guess is something harmless."
After she handed him the paper, she walked away from the building. "Well, guess it is time for me to go too. See you around in Millenium Science School!"
As she went further, he opened the paper and read the content in the paper. It was crude writing, done in a rush, but he could still read it.
"Thank you. Kamen Rider."
"Kamen Rider…" He muttered, feeling a strong familiarity with that name, that title. He muttered the same title again, and ultimately smiled.
"Whoever was the one that wrote this… thank you. I will carry this name with all the responsibility that comes with it."
"By the way," Yuuka stopped and turned around, facing the teacher with a smug smile. She shouted, "Do expect that everyone in Kivotos knows you. After all, that transformation and that fight have been trending in social media now."
She quickly turned back and quickly walked away as Saito looked at her and blinked… and blinked…
"What?"
After Saito returned to his office, he asked if Arona was able to open the social media. She wasn't sure why, but she just told him she could and showed him the social media.
And he saw…
"One of them said, 'Is this a new member of Kaitenger?'" Arona said. "Oh, I found a post in a tabloid company with a video in it. The title is 'Green grasshopper jumped to save delinquents from an odd spider robot.'"
"I think I get the image now." Saito said as he sighs. He placed his glasses down and rubbed the bridge between his eyes before he raised his head again and looked at Arona, who is now on one of the computer screens. "Well, there is nothing much that we can do now. The best we can do now is ignore it."
Arona hummed in agreement before they decided to move on from the topic. "Well, let's move on from that. So, are you going to read the document I sent now?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna read it now. But before that, can you quickly tell me if this place has somewhere I can sleep? It is getting late."
"I'll go check it quickly, you go on reading it."
He muttered a thank you to her and then proceeded to open the document that Arona provided, hoping that maybe they got more information on him.
Name: Ichigata (Updated name - Sendou Saito)
Age: 25
Birthday: April 3rd
Height: 176 cm
Club: Schale
Additional note: The Sensei in Kivotos, is currently an amnesiac with very little information, even in the database. Need to investigate and gather more details for Sensei's sake.
Addendum: "Still not sure why the database calls Sensei 'Ichigata' instead of his name, but right now I just have to update it."
"Ha… really shouldn't get my hopes up there." Saito sighs in irritation.
"Sensei," Arona called him from the screen. "I found a room that you can sleep in, want me to guide you there later?"
Saito nodded and thanked her again for her work, but he saw the AI frown at his response. "You finished reading the file, have you? I'm sorry Sensei, that is all I got."
"Nah," Saito shook his head. "It's ok, I know that there might not be a lot of info about me since I was summoned to Kivotos instead of being here, to begin with. On the bright side, I am glad that I at least know my age and birthday."
He sighs again and looks outside towards the window, noticing that the sun is going down. "Well, it seems like the day is going to end soon. One heck of a first day, I say."
"Yeah," Arona agreed. "Between waking up without memories, the disappearance of the President, the Magia, and taking back the Sanctum Tower, that is definitely a wild first day for a job."
"But still, our job is not over yet." Arona continued. "We still have a few things needed to clean up and familiarize the academies in Kivotos."
"The next few days will be very busy, huh?"
"Yup, so Kivotos will be continuing on you, and I'll help you along the way!"
"I'll be counting on you too then, secretary." He joked.
She giggled at his joke, happy that she will continue to be of use to Sensei, now and future in this new blue world.
"Well, you can do it, Sensei."
"So fight on, Kamen Rider!"
Prologue: Wake Up! The Hero!
Now we are at the end of the prologue, with all the exposition dumps and wrapping up of the events that happened beforehand. Saito now has newfound fame, and his past is still in mystery. Will he find it? How would the Magia affect the story? That is for me to know and for all of you to find out, just like the question of form change and secondary rider.
Well, there is one more chapter, but this one is more of an interlude and some notes on my decision on some parts of the story. If you guys can ignore that, or you can read it. I just put there both as a way to let you guys have a sneak peek at the behind the scene stuff and a reminder for me.
And with that, I'm gonna take a little break. The next part of the story may not come out for some time. Things are picking up in my internship and my brain does need rest after writing well over 12k words in just 1 month non-stop.
Well, that is all for the prologue. Again, thanks for reading this, and see you guys in the next part.
Part 0.5: Life in Kivotos
Don't worry, we will get to the main story.
