Chapter 7: A Certain End of the King of Loners Part 2

This is not the way I want to reveal my identity. I want things quiet and just talk to them normally and then this shit just happened. These two magicians I'm facing right now are from that magic cabal. Firstly, they were trying to capture Miura and secondly, when that tall guy tried to punch me I caught a glimpse of something on his wrist. It's a bracelet with a carving of a snake surrounding a human face that wears an eye patch along with weird symbols and what could be a magic circle. I looked at the runes that were floating around the school. Bayloupe needs to break that barrier fast. the school might be too small of an area to fight in. I then looked at the crowd who are still shocked at this event. Some are taking their cellphones to video this while others are just standing there doing nothing.

"DO YOU GUYS WANNA FUCKING DIE?! GET BACK INSIDE OR ELSE YOU'LL GET KILLED!" I shout at them with my signature glare. Everyone followed my order and ran back in the school building though some are reluctant to do so. Few of those people are Hiratsuka, Zaimokusa, and Totsuka but they complied in the end.

"So, can I ask what your names are before I put you all in a coma?" I said menacingly while cracking my knuckles.

"...Atrotus046, My Body Will Become The Weaklings' Shield." The tall bearded guy said

"Penitrale370, One Who Will Be Guided by Nature." And then Shorty who sounded like a little boy.

Magic names, huh? That redhead fire mage told us that when a magician reveals his/her magic name, it is a declaration of a duel to the death. So, they want to kill me, huh? I'm gonna end this as quickly as possible.

"Not exactly what I was asking for but if you want to kill me, then good luck with that shit." I said to them as I take a stance. The golems are going to attack but not aiming at me.

"You bastards!" I blast them with the same whirlwind blasts and destroyed them with ease until Shorty summoned another two with his bow drill and are going to attack the building again. I hit them with another whirlwind blasts but this time it didn't work.

"What!?" I shout in confusion and surprise. The golems are about to hit the school with a synchronized punch. I dashed in front of them and blocked their punch. The attack dispersed into a strange light. Back when I fought Acqua with that Kanzaki girl, I came up with two hypotheses regarding the magic vectors; either the magic vectors in each magic spell follows the same rules, or they changed based on attack. The conclusion I reached; a little bit in-between. Right now I can block the attack but some effects still pass through. For example, here when I redirect those giant punches, the heat of that fire golem passed through which resulted in my sleeves burnt and the skin on my left arm is a little red burnt. The water golem is the same, some water passed through and now my right sleeve is wet. It's like there are some variables that are different from each magic-user present within the magic vectors. The reason I defeated Kakine easily in our last battle was that I was able to analyze his magic vector with his clones in that underground facility until I used my black wings to kill them all. I only have the basic formula in redirecting magic vectors but that doesn't mean it's an absolute solution. I tried different formulas but this is the best one I came up with. I need a few more seconds of exposure to this little shit's magic attack and I'll crush him with his own magic.

"So it is true, you can't fully block a magic attack." Shorty said and I swear there's a smirk on his face. The bow drill is pierced on the ground and moving on its own while Shorty's hands are just near it. Tch, so he can make these golems invincible by continuously twisting that. Then I'll have to take him out first.

"Heh! Is that the only thing you heard about me?" I asked with a confident smirk.

"Who knows? The only thing we can do is CAPTURE THAT BLONDE GIRL AND KILL YOU~!" He shouted that last part louder than usual. I could hear loud whispers inside the school.

"Eh? So they're after Miura Yumiko?"

"Aren't her parents' famous doctors?"

"Then are they kidnapping her for ransom or something?"

"What is Academy City doing?"

So that's it. He's doing it on purpose to shake Academy City's reputation. Is that the only reason why they would go for a straightforward assault?

"Tch, so you did all of this to make Academy City look like the bad guy?" I asked them with a scowl.

"Heh, well in case we die, that city will die with us." Shorty answered with an arrogant tone but I can tell that there's much more than just a false accusation and kidnapping plan. What else are they after here? The only thing I can make them talk is beating the shit out of them. I started by dashing towards the bearded guy at the same speed as before to punch him but he blocked it in time with his arm. I followed by kicking his right leg.

*CRACK*

"kuh!" He grunted in pain and then I punched his gut, sending him flying towards the barrier. He reacted quickly by landing his feet on it and jumped back towards me with his fist pulled back. I crossed my arms to guard until I noticed a trail of spark coming from Shorty's bow drill to that bearded guy's fist. A fire was ignited on his fist and I just stay in place to guard. If I move, he might hit the school building and hurt those people.

*BAM*

My arms are burning and he pushed me back with a trail. I held my ground as he still pushes me with that punch while analyzing the magic vectors. We stopped just in time before we crashed into the window of the infirmary with the nurse and some students inside. I tried to touch his arm to break its bones but he jumped away back near Shorty. My right sleeve is a little burnt but not that much. I already finished the formula for Shorty, and now it's time to knock him out. I tried to push the bearded guy to the side with a whirlwind blast but it didn't do anything. He just stood there and he didn't even get knocked away?

I noticed the golems are about to punch the school building again and I responded by dashing towards their punch and touched their fist to control the magic vectors with my hands.

*DING*

The golems are now being sucked into my hands, forming a giant ball of fire on my left hand and water on my right. I could see the surprised look on that little brat's face.

"Here, kid. I'll share with you a piece!" A small blast of fire and water shot out, aiming at the brat. If I did a full blast, it won't end pretty for these magicians and they may have more tricks up their sleeves. The bearded guy stood in front of the kid and took the blasts with his body. It did nothing to him so I fire a full blast of fire and water at him. Smoke and mists are enveloping them, unable to see even their silhouettes for a few seconds until the smoke cleared. The bearded guy is still standing with no damage from those blasts. His robe is nothing but a piece of fabric as I can see his body is filled with tattoos along with his face. The tattoos on his bald head are glowing. Are those runes and magic circles? I didn't have time to think as he started to run towards the shoe lockers' entrance.

"Oh no, you don't!" I throw a pebble at him that travels faster than a bullet but once it hit his stomach, it bounced off like his stomach is wearing some kind of invisible armor. I instead charge at him to at least touch him to render him immobile but...

*DING*

My hand just bounced back. I didn't even have enough time to analyze his magic vectors from that and he's still running towards the school. I tried to stop him with a whirlwind blast but it did nothing either.

"STOP!" I dashed again to try and kick the side of his head but my leg bounced back instead. He's about to go inside the school and I can't stop him! But the moment he reached the entrance to the locker room, it's like he ran into an invisible wall and bounced back.

*RING* *RING*

I picked my phone up in my pocket and check the screen to see who it is. Bayloupe? I answered immediately.

"Hey! What happened to the barrier?"

"I can't break it. They most likely used our magic barrier and improvised it with telesma. The only thing to do is to stop those two magicians. I cast a barrier on the school building but it's a different kind of spell which requires me to hold still so for now, you're on your own."

Telesma? That power that angels use as their source for magic? Despite having the formula for magic vectors, it doesn't seem to work on telesma. It's like a different kind of vector entirely. The only way I can control telesma is by using my wings, which I currently can't transform in my awakening state right now. The only thing to do is to defeat these two.

I noticed he stood back up and started continuously punching the barrier until a crack formed. I rush towards him and touched his back to analyze the magic vectors despite its constantly trying to bounce off my hands.

"Got it!" I exclaimed as I tried to control the vectors inside his body to immobilize him but he responded quickly by jumping to the side and then right next to the kid. He's panting hard and he looked as though he's in excruciating pain. My plan was to break some of his skeletal muscles in his limbs and it almost worked since he was having a hard time moving his arms until he moved them as if they're healed. It doesn't matter now that I have the formulas for both of them, it's time to kick their asses.

"You're lucky that Norse mythology is my specialty because that's what that bearded man's magic is. Based on his tattoo, his magic is a reference to Baldur, son of Odin and Frigg. When Baldur began to have dreams of his death, Frigg went around everything in the world and formed an oath to not harm him which then he became invincible to all weapons and dangers. His regeneration would be considered a reference to Frigg making an oath to any harm. Also, the runes glowing on his forehead could be a reference to Baldur's dream of his death to gain the magician precognition to any dangers."

So projectile or any offensive attack won't work on him and he can regenerate AND can predict the future. Fucking fantastic. The only thing I could do is touch him and then he's out and the only trouble left will be that little brat. I wonder if I could at least destroy his bow drill, he would be useless.

"Only one way to find out." I made the first move by charging at "Baldur" and tried grabbing him but the moment I touched him, he turned into a water-like state and disappeared. I noticed that I was surrounded by floating water and it formed into multiple copies of "Baldur". This is probably that kid's doing but I don't know where he is.

"You think that'll scare me?" I smirked as I controlled the vectors in the air to create a big tornado around me. My smirk was gone when I noticed that all of them weren't lifted by the tornado. Don't tell me they all got the same "Baldur" spell? The duplicates suddenly jumped at me and I just stood still until they exploded into strange light the moment they were in contact with me.

"So it is from the brat." The next thing I knew, I got blinded by a mysterious light and I heard footsteps. I reacted by trying to punch "Baldur" while blind but I didn't hit anyone. My vision came back in time as I saw a human figure of light moving very fast towards the cracked part of the barrier. I dashed towards him and he quickly backed away to evade my grab. I looked at him and noticed the kid next to him is holding an unconscious Miura.

"WHAT!? Since when did you-" I was interrupted as a golden wind blew them and Miura slowly fades away.

*RING* *RING* *CLICK!*

"Bayloupe?"

"You can tell if someone is lying just by looking but you can't tell that was an illusion spell?" She said on the cellphone with a teasing tone.

"Tch, shut up."

"Well, anyway I used all of the 'Loki' powder for that one so this is where you're really on your own."

"So they're trying to trick me with illusions to get me far away from the school. Clever little shits." I said as I sensed the little brat summoned another two fire and water golems from his bow drill behind me while "Baldur" is trying to sneak in. So, he can only summon two of them and can be summoned in a different spot, huh? The golems tried to punch the crack with their giant fists but I reacted in time to guard and absorb them with one hand while holding the phone with the other and blast them back to the kid.

I saw him react in time by casting a barrier that looks like a snakehead. I chased "Baldur" who punched the barrier on a different spot and it already formed a small crack. I saw some scared students in the window back away from the cracked spot. I tried to grab him again but he quickly evaded and punched the barrier again on another spot. At this rate, he would break the barrier and hurt everyone, and then there's that kid too who was about to summon another golem but I stopped him with a whirlwind blast and he jumped back to evade. The kid disappeared again and I'm still chasing "Baldur". Offensive attacks won't work on him but...

"Does this guy have some sixth sense or something?" The kid said in wonder and I fire a whirlwind blast on the direction of his voice while still chasing "Baldur" away from the barrier. Nothing hit. I need this "Baldur" guy to look at me for just one second. And he did, he turned around to see if I was still chasing him and that led to his downfall. I made a hand gesture as if I'm holding something and several numbers scattered from my hand and staff appeared. The shaft is brown as if it's made of clay with a golden skull of a bull at the end. the skull glowed and "Baldur" suddenly stopped moving.

"W-what is this?" He asked in surprise and confused look.

"Your magic is a reference to a god so this thing is a perfect counter against you." I said as I quickly approach him. Since he is immune to all attacks, this staff can only freeze his movement. However, he was inchanting something and broke free from my spell. He moved away to keep our distance. Tch, that white nun was right, each spell has its weaknesses and counters.

"Just in case, does his 'Baldurness' have any weaknesses?" I asked on the phone.

"Loki asked Frigg if there is at least one thing that she didn't make an oath to and she answered that mistletoe is harmless so she didn't bother to make an oath on it. As the gods amused themselves by throwing weapons at Baldur, Loki created an arrow made of mistletoe and deceived the blind god, Hodr to shoot it at Baldur which pierced him and got killed. It might be possible that he won't be able to predict a mistletoe arrow with his precognition." She explained

"Tell me more about Hodr and that arrow now." I demanded and while she explained more, I then noticed that the little brat disappeared while Baldur shined brightly and ran back to the school building in a flash. I chased after him and now we're playing a game of tag at blinding speed. I tried punching, swinging a kick, or grabbing him but I either missed or hit the ground and left some craters. All while holding my phone near my ear. As I tried to hit him one last time he turned into water and disappeared.

"That was an illusion!?" I didn't even look at the barrier and just jump straight to the cracked part. I was met with light coming in fast and before he would back away, I summoned the staff and froze him.

"Stay down already!" I touched his head and controlled his bioelectricity to stop him from inchanting and rendered him unconscious so that the regeneration from his magic won't activate. But before I realized, a wooden bird flew towards "Baldur" and landed on his shoulder. He suddenly woke up and backed away. Tch, Despite the kid being the less combatant type, he's versatile with his magic as support and trickster.

They're trying everything they can to get me away from the barrier, especially the cracked part. I could just stay here and guard but they're just gonna find another spot and create a crack. It'll turn into a game of tag AND endurance if that happens. "Baldur" and I both matched in terms of speed but what turned the table is that kid's illusion spells since I don't have the same sight as Bayloupe's along with his other tricks. 20 minutes left, plenty of time but gotta make every second count.

*DING*

I stomped the ground with my right foot and a giant explosion of air came out under "Baldur"'s feet. Sadly, it did nothing. So literally any harmful attacks won't hurt him. Not even send him airborne. I guess I have no choice. After Bayloupe was done explaining, I put my phone back in my pocket and made a hand gesture as if I'm holding a bow and arrow and aim at him.

"No doubt, you can also use magic even though you're an esper." "Baldur asked.

"Magic? I have no idea what you're talking about, you delusional terrorists!" I said it out loud so that everyone can hear it. Several numbers scattered from my hand and an actual bow and arrow appeared. The bow is made of wood with symbols carved on it, and the arrow has a green tip.

"Don't even try. Despite being equal in speed I have better evasive maneuvers along with my partner for support. Plus, my invincibility will defend me agains-" He stopped talking and stared at me as if he realized something terrible.

"That bow and arrow. It can't be-!" I didn't let him finish as I fire the arrow towards him, aiming for his legs. He quickly enveloped himself with light and dodged the arrow. He's now running around like he's waiting for an opportunity.

"What bow and arrow? I don't see it." The kid asked in confusion but let go of the question as he pierced his bow drill on the ground again and twisted it once. Water came out and formed into several human-like figures of light and scattered everywhere around the school. They're trying to confuse me, huh? The bow and arrow disappeared and I made another hand gesture. Several numbers scattered and then a staff appeared that is made up of gold with a wooden snake swirled on the upper part, and a curved tip. I tap the staff on the ground and all of the illusions around the school dispersed into nothingness.

"What?!" The kid shouted as he appeared in front of me. He was waiting for me to chase the decoy or the real "Baldur" for him to break the barrier. While he was surprised, I approached him in a flash and he created a barrier of a golden snakehead surrounding him. I punched the barrier with ease and knocked him on the head. Now it's just me and "Baldur".

"Isonash!" I heard him screamed a name that could belong to this kid. A flash of light blinded me again but I sensed that he's coming towards me fast. I responded by making a hand gesture like I held a gun-like weapon and several numbers scattered once more on my hand to reveal a crossbow. Yellow-glowing symbols appeared floating on my back as ten green-tipped arrows are loaded in the crossbow in a fan shape.

"That crossbow can't be from-" He didn't have time to talk as he tried to dodge the arrows but the arrows are following him as if they're homing missile and he got hit by all of them on all of his limbs. This is an inferior version of that One-Eyed Blondie's crossbow as it's a little closer in having the same destructive power as the original but it doesn't distort space-time for the arrows to go in different directions. I manipulated the vectors in the air to change the arrows' trajectory while increasing their speed. Welp, that was easy. I didn't expect him to try and save the kid. It only took 15 minutes to end the fight. Meaning I only got 15 minutes left on my choker. I heard a cracking sound from about and looked up to see the barrier of telesma breaking until it disappeared. I noticed a glow of green light coming from "Baldur" and sounds of groaning pain.

"Gghh..kughhh!" His body is shaking like he got a seizure and then a giant, green-glowing magic circle appeared on the ground under his body as the center. It covered the entire school area and even further until it disappeared.

"What the hell? What the fuck did you do?"

"I...don't know..." He said as he started to lose consciousness. He must've lost a lot of blood. I should at least close the wounds to stop the bleeding.

"Hey, look at me." I ordered and he followed. I made a hand gesture and the staff from before appeared again. I tapped it lightly on his chest and all of the wounds from the arrows disappeared. The only thing left is red marks which are the muscles.

"I only sealed your wounds. You won't be able to move for a while." I said and then he went unconscious. My thoughts wandered on their stupid stunt. What exactly are they planning? If it's just to kidnap Miura then there should've been other ways than making a fucking scene. That big magic circle earlier confirmed my suspicion that something was up. I looked around to see any weird changes. So far, everything is normal aside from the craters and burnt marks on the ground, and two people lying unconscious. Is it a delayed effect or something else?

*RING* *RING*

I picked my phone in my pocket and looked at the caller. An unknown number? I answered the call.

"Who is this?" I asked and a voice that belonged to someone I wished he would kill himself answered.

"OOOOOOOOIIIIII~! HIKIGAYA-KUUUUNNN~!"

"What do you want, Bandaged Corpse?"

"GUESS WHERE I AAAMM~?!" He sounds like a drunk retard. I'm starting to get annoyed.

"I don't fucking care. Don't call me when you're drun-."

"I finally did it! I made it into the afterlife~! I'm in a bar talking to this bartender about playing a game with my partner for reincarnation or something but I don't want reincarnation I wanna stay in this lovely pla- GAH!" (1) He suddenly screamed in pain as I heard a man shouting with sounds of someone punching the other.

"SHUT UP WITH YOUR DELUSIONS, DAZAI! *AHEM* sorry about that. He wanted to talk to you about something important until he suddenly shouted about suicide by eating a mushroom and...yeah, you can guess what happened next" The man explained in a tired tone and then I heard Bandaged Corpse's voice.

"As expected of the guidebook~! Who would've thought that there's such an easy method! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

So basically, Bandaged Corpse ate a mushroom that made him so high that he thinks he's dead. That guy even has a guidebook on suicide? Just how committed is he? Or is it just for stupid shit like a comedy skit or something? Whatever, back to the topic at hand.

"What does he want?" I asked the man on the phone.

"We wanted to inform you that we encountered the group of espers wearing robes trying to kidnap a woman. There are two of them and we saved her but the culprits escaped." He explained. The group of espers he was talking about might be this magic cabal. So, he doesn't know about magic? I guess it is true that Bandaged Corpse really is the only one in his group that knew it's existence.

"What did they want from her?"

"They didn't talk. They just attacked us when we're trying to stop them. They are two people wearing robes; one is female and the other is male based on their voices. Of course, the most important one is that both of them wore those bracelets. I'm looking at the ID of the victim and her name is...Yukinoshita Haruno, 20 years old and studying at the University of Chiba. She was unconscious and we already sent her to a nearby hospital." He said with seriousness. They're after the she-devil too? Is she also part of resurrecting Eve? Hhmm...If we're going in that direction, then the reason why she's needed for their spell is her personality. That would make sense but this straightforward kidnapping these two did is still puzzling. I touch the ground to see if there are any unusual vectors and found only nothing. I don't know what that magic circle was but it could be dangerous if not investigated properly.

"I encountered some espers here in Sobu High School. They were trying to kidnap a girl name Miura Yumiko but I don't know their purpose." I said.

"I know about that. It's all over the news right now. There was a video of you and two espers fighting."

"Shit. The media is so quick with getting juicy info. This isn't going to end well."

"Agreed. Academy City will need to come up with an excuse for why you're here or else it might turn into an international concern. I checked the internet on my phone right now and those rumors about level 5s roaming in different countries are starting to come back. Many negative comments about the city's behaviors and go so far as speculating that the city's planning for world domination or some crap."

"Oh yeah, there's that. No, I have my own problem that won't end well." I said as I look at the school window where my clubmates are right now along with Sagami. Yuigahama looked scared, no, worried? It's more like she's begging for answers even if the answers could be terrifying. Sagami is more of shock and confusion, and Yukinoshita's face is filled with anger and sadness. I heard footsteps and looked at Bayloupe who's walking towards me with a sad smile.

"We need to go." She said.

"Yeah..." I said with a serious tone but there's a hint of guilt in it. I spoke to the phone again.

"Can we meet up? We need to talk about this situation in person."

"Sure. Find a secluded area and I'll find you there." It was Osamu's voice who answered.

"Okay." I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket.

"Let's go to a small alley where no one can find us. We're going to talk to the Gemstones." I said and she only nodded in response. I lift her up in my arms to hold her in a princess carry and I jumped very high and far away from the school. The two magicians are lifted by the wind as I manipulated its vectors to carry them with me. After a few jumps on building to building Bayloupe spoke.

"Hey, you can just talk to them after this."

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"Your friends at school. You can just explain to them about you and apologize."

"This isn't some shitty kids' story where everyone is forgiving."

"They don't need to. You just have to tell them so they would know what's really going on. It's best to let them know than just keep them in the dark."

"...Yeah. We'll wait here." I said as we landed on a shady alley and I turned off my esper mode. Not even a second passed and Osamu appeared right in front of us.

"That was quick." Bayloupe said in surprise.

"Well, if I follow his line of thinking, you would probably hide in some alleys near that school. I got lucky finding you on the first run." He smirked and then looked at the magicians.

"Just to be clear, this magic business is secret, right? Not even Academy City knows about it?" He asked with a serious expression.

"Yeah. Is there anyone else with you?" I asked.

"Nope. It's just me for now. I'll tell them when circumstances deem necessary." He said while waving his hand.

"Well then, let's start with figuring out their motive behind that attack." I said and Osamu nodded.

"We know that they're after Miura-san but they now started targetting another woman by the name of Yukinoshita Haruno. That raises eyebrows from us since for many months they were only focusing on Miura-san and they picked this timing to go for another one?"

"Their plan is to resurrect someone that could be a threat to the whole world. Those girls are their primary targets since they share similar traits; For Miura-san, it was her appearance, and for Yukinoshita-san was her personality." Bayloupe explained. So she also came to that conclusion, huh. Osamu looked surprised at her speculation.

"Can magic really do that?" He asked.

"With normal magic, no. They just have a very powerful item that could possibly make that happen." I said.

"The real question is why trapping everyone in school just to kidnap when they should've gone for a more stealthy approach like those magicians that my partner and I encountered." Osamu said while holding his chin up.

"One possibility is that they're trying to hurt Academy City's reputation but there is a bigger one; A giant magic circle appeared and then just vanished with nothing happened. You guys should've seen the light coming from our direction." I said.

"We didn't notice anything though." Osamu said. They didn't see it? That magic circle was so big and emitted such a huge green light so how come?

"Based on the writings and symbols, it could be referencing Ragnarok." Bayloupe said while pointing her finger up.

"Ragnarok? You mean the end of all gods?" He asked.

"You know about that?" I asked in wonder.

"I watched a superhero movie about it. It ended on Asgard being destroyed by some fire god and the characters are about to face an alien tyrant, it was a good movie. (2)"

"Well, Ragnarok is famous in pop culture. What he said was right, it is an event that presents the twilight of the gods and the end of humanity. The very first sign of Ragnarok happening is the death of Baldur, next is the three long winters that last for three years with no summer in between, and the last is two wolves swallowing the sun and the moon." She explained.

"But that 'Baldur' asshole is alive." I pointed at the unconscious bearded magician.

"Hmmm...Based on what you said, I can assume magic is used by referencing mythologies. So going in that line of thought, they may not be using his death to trigger the spell but maybe how he was defeated?" Osamu explained. This guy is actually smarter than I thought. Is he the leader of his group?

"But Hachiman defeated him without having the weapon that killed Baldur in the mythologies." She said

"Oh, I did beat him with that." I said indifferently and Bayloupe looked at me in surprise.

"What? You didn't even have a single weapon with you when fighting those two."

"Magic, duh." I said while stretching my neck a little.

"...You better give me an explanation after this." She said while looking a little angry and pinching my ear.

"Aw...okay."

"Okay, okay back to the topic. So they're planning to use Ragnarok to destroy the world? Are they using the person they're trying to resurrect to make that happen?" Osamu speculated.

"Possibly, if they want the effects to be bigger." She answered.

"But if they want to reenact Baldur's death, then shouldn't THEY be making the arrow instead of me doing the job?" I asked.

"They're a small group of 5 members. Maybe they don't have the power to collect resources?" Osamu speculated.

"No, crafting an arrow is just as easy as making a kids project. Mistletoe, the material that Loki used to kill Baldur, is easy to find in stores here. Perhaps they don't have anyone to represent as Loki or Hodr. Or maybe their ritual has a different process." She said.

"This is all we know for now. The only way we can get some info is by interrogating these two. First thing, we need to find a place to confine them other than an alley." I suggested.

"I have a few good places, leave them to me." Osamu said while putting his hands on his pockets.

"No, we'll handle that. You keep on guarding the two girls." I still don't trust him that if I handed these two assholes to him, I won't be able to see them nor will I be sure that the info he would tell us is true or not.

"*SIGH* Fair enough. Well, that concludes our discussion for now. I need to go to the river." He said while walking away.

"Why?" Bayloupe asked.

"Because I want to get drowned in it to see if there's any difference from last time! Will it be a good suicide place? Is the water fine? You never know!" He shouted in excitement and disappeared with teleportation. A smart guy with a fucked up hobby. He can't be a leader, right?


At Sobu High School. An hour ago, right after they left.

"What the hell was that?"

"That whole thing was crazy! He beat them a lot quicker than I imagined!"

"If those two bad guys terrorists, then does that mean that Hikitani is a good guy?"

"You don't know that. He was studying here with us while hiding his powers. I'm starting to get suspicious towards Academy City."

"Are those the same terrorist that tried to overthrow the UN?"

"This is getting scary. What else is that guy hiding."

Everyone is currently confused about what happened. Espers appeared at our school to kidnap Miura-san and then Hikigaya-kun suddenly intervened to stop them. Is Hikigaya-kun also an esper? Is he a...What did they call it? Gemstone? Did he come here as a bodyguard? If that's the case, then Academy City would be hiding that so they can track down Gremlin. It was a terrifying terrorist organization, after all. They want to overthrow the UN so that they can govern the world in their beliefs alone. Academy City and many other countries worked together to stop them. A big miracle is that there weren't many casualties but many didn't believe that and speculated that the government was underreporting information.

"H-hey, look! I checked the Academy City website and Hikitani-kun is here!" Tobe shouted and many people are gathering around him to look at his cellphone. Tobe is struggling to break free from the crowd.

"H-hold on! Calm your heads guys! I'll read it for you!" the crowd gave him some space and have their faces full of focus, fear, and curiosity. He then shows us a picture of a skinny guy with white hair and pale skin.

"This is Hikitani! He's the strongest esper, Accelerator!" He shouted and everyone gasped. Some of them checked their phones to see it for themselves while others are convinced. I look at Miura who was sort of shaken by that.

"Accelerator?! The number 1 level 5?!"

"Then if someone like him is here, wouldn't that mean the terrorists are even more dangerous?"

"M-maybe it's to get rid of them for good. I mean, sending a level 5 would make sure that they'll be dealt with."

"H-Hayato, what do you think?" Yumiko asked me with fear. The fact that the most infamous terrorist organization to this day is after someone like her would terrify her.

"We don't know anything about him nor his true purpose. We should wait for Academy City for an explanation. Don't worry everyone, rather than thinking that we're in even more danger, shouldn't we think that we're a lot safer since someone as strong as Accelerator is protecting us?" I said with a fake smile that convinced everyone. A lot of them were in relief while others were still having doubts but decided to be optimistic for the better. There are many things that only Hikigaya-kun can explain. I noticed Hiratsuka-sensei walking towards us and spoke loudly so everyone can hear.

"Hayama is right. We should just wait for the news and calm ourselves. Alright, Pack your things and go home. All club activities will be suspended. Also, all schools will be suspended for a week to ensure your safety. That is all."

And with that everyone is packing their things to go home. I'm currently still in my classroom, thinking about all of this. I listened to the others talking about Hikigaya-kun with even more admiration since I convinced them.

"Do you think he will give me his autograph?

"Dude, you should stay away from him. At least til this shit blows over."

"It's fine. There could've been better places for him to go undercover but they chose to disguise him as a student. I say he's not bad."

"We'll just have to wait and see, I guess."

The last part that the first guy said bothered me. If he's here to hide, then is the Hikigaya-kun we knew before was fake? Then were all those times with the Service Club meant nothing for him?...No, last week, we thought he suddenly changed due to some kind of circumstances but right now, I know that is his true self. If he wanted to keep his disguise up, then there was no reason for him to act like that. Then...

"Yui-chan, are you okay?" I heard Sagami asked Yui-chan worriedly. Of course, the most affected by this is her and Yukino, and anyone at school who's closest to him.

"I'm fine. It's kinda shocking but...I'm sure Hikki will tell us everything."

"How can you be so sure? That creep hid something that big from you and then that happened." Miura said with a scowl.

"All the times spent here should have at least a small meaning to him. I want...to believe." Yui answered while looking down.

"Quit dreaming. I bet that guy thought you were annoying and just wanted to hang out with you for cover."

"You're just saying that because you're scared about those terrorists kidnapping you." Sagami defended.

"Why wouldn't I be scared?! If he was just here to get rid of those terrorists, wouldn't that mean our lives were in danger since the first semester?!"

"Then wouldn't that mean he's been protecting us this whole time?" Sagami countered and then Yumiko is silent as she couldn't think of an argument. She's right, if we follow that thought, then it is incredibly reassuring that he's been doing this for a while. I don't know about the people in Academy City but one thing I do know is that it is mostly made up of students, people who are the same ages as us. They're not made to be espers as weapons, but as special individuals for the future. Not all espers are evil.

"Sagami is right, Yumiko. He must've been working hard to stop them." I put my hand on her shoulder.

"So calm down. Be grateful that he's here. Plus, we'll be here for you."

"Yeah! If Hikitani's job is to protect you from those terrorists then it is our job to protect you from being a drama queen!" Tobe said it a bit too loudly but it did the job done in lifting her spirit along with everyone hearing our conversation.

"Well...I still have doubts though. You remember those rumors about level 5s roaming around in other countries? That was before Gremlin appeared. What could they be doing there?" Ooka said while folding his arms.

"Maybe a vacation? I mean, there was that Kami guy who went to England as a prize for winning a contest." Yamato said with a reassuring smile.

"Yup, plus those are rumors so we can't be sure if it's true or not. And just because level 5s are going to other places doesn't mean something bad is gonna happen. They are all students like us." I said while closing my bag. Everyone agreed and decided to end the discussion there. Yumiko is still afraid but is slowly fading and being replaced with the normal Fire Queen that we all know. Sagami was walking with Yui-chan to cheer her up. Yui-chan is still bothered by this incident but there is something else. It's probably about Newlight-san being carried by Hikigaya-kun. It was plain as day that Yui-chan is in love with him so that kinda hurt her. What surprised me was Sagami. She became a genuine friend and there is no hidden intent on her words and actions. And then there's Yukino.

"Hey, Yui-chan." I called out to her.

"Yeah?"

"What happened with Yukino?"

"...Yukinon looked angry for the most part and then she went home without even talking to any of us."

"So it was that bad, huh. I can't do anything about that. It's all up to Hikigaya-kun. See ya next week." We wave at each other and then walked away in different directions. After a few more steps, I stopped and realized something. Why am I still relying on Hikigaya-kun after all of this? I am worried that we'll be in danger again. How come I'm so sure that he wouldn't run away and left them?

.

.

.

No, I know that answer very well

...

"Let me be clear. I don't like you Hikigaya-kun."

We're standing face-to-face near a certain vending machine in school. Lunch break just started and I called Hikigaya-kun to talk about something important. His sudden change might affect my clique if another issue with them will appear which I have a feeling there will be.

"You called me here just for that? Okay, I don't like you too. See ya." He said it indifferently

"The way you're acting right now is worrisome. You might go out of control at this rate." I said with a serious expression. The fake smile I kept gluing on my face is gone and I showed my true side.

"What the hell are you talking about? It's not like it would change your clique anyway." He said while waving his hands like this issue is nothing.

"It might be if you keep this up."

"...Are you worried that I won't be able to help you with your clique affairs anymore?" He said while raising an eyebrow and I responded immediately.

"No, relying on someone like you with my clique is the last thing I want to resort to. It's just that-"

"You're scared of me, is that it?" He interrupted.

"What makes you think that?" I said it with a little menacing tone.

"Well, not exactly scared of me. More like...scared of what I am."

"And what am I scared about you?"

"Change." He said it while putting a coin in the vending machine to buy a drink. Change? Did I hear that right? This man is a pessimistic loner who views the word "change" and "social relationships" are a superficial element that is used to build the structure called "Youth". A man like him thinks that he's a changed man? He should've said words like "adapt".

"Change? Am I actually hearing it right? I thought you hated that word." I said and I heard a sound coming from the vending machine.

"Yeah. I didn't say anything that I changed. I'm saying that you're afraid of me because I represent 'change'. If one of your 'friends' keep watching me doing unusual things that I don't care what others think, then he/she might follow my example." He explained as he grabbed the can of Maxx Coffee in the vending machine and opened it.

"Then there would be a possibility that they might do something that fucks up the status quo that you worked so hard to preserve. Even though the Service Club and I did the shitty work for you." He drinked the coffee after finishing his explanation. In a way, he's right. I'm a little scared that my friends might act a little too soon. There was that one time when Tobe wanted to hang out with Ebina alone after he watched the way Hikigaya-kun and Newlight-san interact. It's a good thing Ebina refused him by saying she was busy with something personal. And then there was Miura when she made a bento by herself because seeing Newlight-san making bentos for him sort of created a spark in her. The food isn't particularly bad since she asked the Service Club for help according to Yui. These are all signs that the clique will start to fall apart. At this rate, I need to do something about it.

But how? Am I supposed to tell Hikigaya-kun not to change? What right do I have for me to do that? He's literally doing his best to talk to others even though his vulgar way of talking disturbed some. What should I do?

"...I know what you need to do. Stop being a pussy." He said as if he just read my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"You're taking such simple situations way too fucking seriously as if you're gonna die if there's something you don't like happens. Just blurt it out what you wanted to say. The end."

"Hahaha. If that was so easy to do, I would've done that a long time ago."

"That doesn't mean you have to keep being a liar."

"..."

"Look at me. I was a cynical loner who became friends with the Orange Airhead and Ice Queen because I can blurt out shit without a care. Then there's Totsuka who is geniunely kind to me and now Bayloupe whom I still friends with her even though it's been a year since then. And in a way, I was already influencing your clique albeit indirectly and unintentionally ever since my early days of becoming a Service Club member. And then after I turned into THIS, my friends are still close to me. Honest people exist, Golden Boy. It's just a matter of effort in your relationships if you really care about them. They don't just formed by going karaokes or having shallow conversations."

"How should I do it?"

"I don't fucking know. They're your friends, you know them more than I do. It's all the more impactful if you're the one who comes up with an idea than asking someone like me." He said as he turned around and walked away.

...

Hikigaya-kun, those words helped me. I still don't have any clue of what to do with my clique, but I know that I need to do something. You let me witness something that wasn't part of this world right now, and that made your words back then all the more stronger. Yeah, hiding the fact that you're an esper was not being honest but the relationships you have are real. Maybe I'm just being naive again. I'm not good at mind reading like him, but all those months being here should have a meaning for him. I'm sure of it.


Hikigaya Household

"So let me get this right. This Spiritual Tripping is a magic spell that can create illusionary weapons that you're fond of. In your version, you need precise information about a weapon without even seeing it in real life. And you can get crafty with it to make spiritual items and highly advance gadgets." Bayloupe repeated what I explained to her about my magic.

We're now in the living room sitting on the couch with Last Order and Worst are in the dining table eating some snacks. What she said was true, I tweaked the spell a little so that I can create weapons based on information and not experience. During my training with that silver witch, she kept using old weapons like a flintlock pistol or a sword because those are the weapons she always used before. My version can create weapons by imagining how it was made with logic like I can't create a lightsaber without figuring out what it's made up of. For example, that bow and arrow from earlier. I just imagined a bow made of wood, carved with symbols that represented the Blind God thanks to Bayloupe's info, and I imagined a bow with a tip made of mistletoe.

"Uh-huh." I nodded in response to her explanation.

"And for that to work, you need to link each other's minds and the target needs to see your hand gestures."

"Yeah, that's pretty much it."

"Can you make spiritual items with that?"

"Yeah. I used two spiritual items against them. Those two are the staffs. The Golden Bull Staff is an illusionary spiritual item that I created. It is based on Babylonian Mythology about the Bull of Heaven and Enkidu as they both have one thing in common; they were born to stop the mighty god Gilgamesh so the most powerful aspect of that staff is to restrain my opponent. The more divine the target is or the more telesma he/she has, the more powerful the binding spell can become." I explained and Bayloupe nodded in understanding.

"Did you create the staff in real life or-?"

"Nope, I just imagined the staff and I bring it to reality. I didn't 'forged' it in real life nor someone has an actual staff like this. It is a weapon born from my imagination." I said as I made a hand gesture with my right hand and after numbers scattered, the Golden Bull staff appeared and Bayloupe looked surprised. I raised the staff and turned my head to look at the two brats on the table.

"Hey, brats! Do you see what I'm holding right now?"

"'You were...holding a knife! No, a sword!' says Misaka as Misaka thinks we're playing a game of charades."

"You were holding nothing. Is Misaka supposed to see something or does Tou-san want to use that hand for some...action?" Worst said with a seductive tone and I threw a remote at her head.

"So, No one can see it unless their minds are linked with yours. That's pretty amazing."

"Of course it is." I said with a smirk.

"So what about the other staff?" She asked in wonder. I made another hand gesture with my left hand and the Staff of Mythical Serpents appeared.

"This staff has a basis of Loki and Jomungandr from Norse Mythology and Asclepius from Greek Mythology. I can do illusions and heal people with it. Plain and simple. I can also undo illusions from other magicians as you saw back there at school." I let go of the staffs and they disappeared.

"Did you use that spell against Adam and Eve?" She asked.

"Yeah, though I was more of a support for One-Eyed Blondie." I said while scratching my cheek. Despite mastering my Awakened form and Spiritual Tripping, I still couldn't give Adam and Eve serious injuries. Even she couldn't hurt them with that Spear of Gungnir but can hold them off better than me so I act as a support. We were holding them off while the hero and the Right Seat to get to Lucifer and kill him while the others were fighting the angels that Eve created with her Book of Genesis.

"Just how overpowered can you get?" She said while touching her temple as if she got a headache.

"Meh, who knows. Time will tell. I'm not some monkey-alien who wants to get stronger as a hobby. (3)" I shrugged and then I heard the front door opened and closed hard, and I hear footsteps coming towards us.

"Onii-chan! Did you see the news?! You're everywhere!" She shouted while looking tired as if she ran her way from school to here. Her hair is a bit of a mess with some strands sticking out aside from her signature ahoge and she's sweating a lot. I heard other footsteps that are quiet as if that person is just casually walking. It was Forest. I gave her a simple guard duty for Komachi and they hung out a lot more times than I could count. You could even say they became "besties".

"Nothing happened to us if that's what you're going to ask. Well, besides Komachi being bombarded with questions by the entire student body." Forest said with a serious expression but that was all gone when my sister hugged her tightly.

"And it's all thanks to Furthest-chan that they all left me alone with her magic! Thank you! Thank you!" She happily said that while rubbing her face to Farwest. Even now she can't get her name right. Like brother, like sister I guess.

"S-STOP IT! YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME! AND HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, MY NAME IS FLORIS!" Flower pushed Komachi away though not without being resisted.

"So, what's gonna happen now?" She asked with seriousness coming back to her face.

"We're gonna settle this with that magic cabal and once that's over, we go back to Academy City. Komachi, you'll come with us." I said while folding my arms.

"Eh!? But what about school!? And my friends?!"

"You can get private tutoring there for education. And this is for your safety. Who knows if there are other people besides magicians that might try to hurt you to get through me. I can't allow something like that happened to you because of me so we go to Academy City where I have many people that can help us." I explained while walking towards her and put my hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry that you might not see your friends again, but I can promise you that you'll have more friends there. Hell, I know some brats from a prestigious middle school and a normal one that I'm sure you'll be good friends with them." I said with a reassuring smile and Komachi looked conflicted for a moment and asked.

"But what about mom and dad?"

"What about them?"

"Are you going to leave them?"

"if you know our parents' job, you know that they'll be fine on their own."

"What is their job anyway?" She asked.

"You didn't know? I thought you could at least guess their job even if you have to check their room." Well, they're more like the damn hero with their jobs. Going to different countries to stop bad guys and whatnot. I was kinda surprised when I discovered their job by investigating their bedroom (Which became mine and Bayloupe's until they came back so pretty much we're sleeping together). If I would describe my parents in a few words, it would be;

Holy shit, they're fucking crazy.


"So, do you agree with our request?" A matured bob cut black-haired woman spoke standing to the people sitting in chairs around the long table like a meeting between a boss and the staff. The woman is wearing a long brown loose coat over her white collared shirt with a blue tie and black pants. Right next to her is a man who looked like he's on his forties with an unshaven beard along with his long black, uncombed hair that almost reached his shoulders. He's wearing a black trench coat over his shoulders the reached under his knees and a dark grey business suit. He sat on the other end of the table facing the head along with other people in the middle.

"Of course we agree. We owe you a huge debt for helping us. Although, I do say I'm quite shocked about your son. He got those strong genes from both of you." The head of the table said with a warm smile. He is an old man with long white hair and white beard. He's wearing a black yukata with brown haori.

"Thank you for granting our selfish request." the man and woman bowed. Another woman spoke.

"There is no need for you to bow. I'm not doing this for you but my children. Chiba is one of the cities where our Japanese brethren bloom into intelligent, hard-working citizens with punctuality and kindness. We're not helping you with your troublesome child." This beautiful woman is wearing a yukata with flower designs and her black long hair is tied into a bun.

"Tch, tsundere..." said the unshaven man.

"Q-quiet you!" the woman in yukata stuttered. A man beside him spoke.

"She's like this for a very long time. Kinda adorable don't you think? Hahaha." His face looks like a young man but he is actually also in his forties. His black hair is slick backed, and wearing a brown business suit.

"Dear, one more word and I'll have you electrocuted." The woman in yukata said in a very menacing tone with an Icy glare that resembled her daughter.

"She can't take a joke as you can see. But if you find a crack on her attitude, it's worth the pain." he said with pride formality.

"Well, that's Yukinoshita-san for you." The unshaved man said while laughing.

"Alright then, it is a deal. We help you cover your son's excuse in exchange for our children's protection." A blonde man spoke. He's also wearing a brown business suit.

"AND a free trip to a hot spring." the unshaved man said with a bored expression while holding out tickets.

"I don't care about that hot spring. We'll accept your request either way." A long brown-haired woman said besides the blonde man. She is wearing a labcoat with a green sweater under.

"Now one problem though," The old man spoke. "is whether Academy City would use your son's made-up excuse about terrorists or they would straight-up force him to go home."

"They will. After all, my son knows a person from the Board of Directors. Plus, the other corrupt bastards in Academy City don't have much power left. They're getting easier to control." The woman in brown coat said with certainty.

"Very well. Meeting adjourned." The old man declared. Everyone stood up and bowed at each other in sync.


Hikigaya Household. 5 pm.

"Do you think she'll answer?" Bayloupe asked with doubt.

"That white nun knows how to handle a cellphone. It took her a few months for her to get used to it though." I said indifferently. My cellphone is on the table ringing, hoping that someone from the other side would answer. We heard a click and a girl spoke.

"Y-yes! This is Index speaking!" The white nun shouted as the phone is on speaker.

"Hey, brat. Good thing you still remember how to use a phone."

"A-Accelerator?! Are you okay?! Those magicians were actually pretty strong. Judging by their magic and combat, they could stand up against a Saint and-."

"Yeah, yeah we want to talk to you about them actually." I explained to her about them, especially the kid. Not even Bayloupe knows what kind of magic he used so we turn to the little brat with a shit ton of books inside her head. She was silent for a few seconds after my explanation and she finally spoke

"Hmmm... Isonash is from the Ainu people. They're a peaceful indigenous group that doesn't get involved in any conflict with outsiders unless those outsiders try to hurt their home and territory. The Ainu people are also a magic community of animists devoted to the guidance of spirits and nature. Although, there are some who adopted Buddhism and Shinto or converted as members of the Russian Orthodox Church. Their numbers are small and again, they don't get involved much with outsiders so that's why they are not well-known. Isonash's bow drill is a spiritual item that references Kamuy-huchi, the Ainu goddess of the hearth and Waka-ush Kamuy, the Ainu goddess of freshwater to summon those fire and water golems which is the reason why those golems have a feminine figure." She explained but a doorbell rang at the front door. I seriously hope it's not the paparazzi or something.

"I'll get it." I said as I walked to the door and opened it.

"Kawasaki?"

"Yo, Hikigaya." She said with the usual delinquent aura. I noticed she was holding three school bags and she reached out 2 towards me.

"Your school bags, you left them."

"Oh, thank you." I said my gratitude and took the bags. We were staying at each other for who knows how long until she spoke.

"Look, my brain is still trying to understand what happened back there. You, being an esper, terrorists are in the city. A lot of things I need to understand but might take time. But there is one thing I want to get from you." She said as her face formed a scowl and grabbed the collar of my shirt violently.

"I have a family here. If they're in danger because of you, I will never forgive you." She said it menacingly and I wore a serious expression.

"Yeah, I understand." I said and she let go.

"You better do." She walked away while holding her school bag over her shoulder. Huh, that actually hurt and it's not the grab I'm talking about. Being mistrusted by your own friends. I went back to the living room and it seemed Index was done explaining about the kid and start discussing Ragnarok.

"Huh, that's an interesting spell. So all he needed to do is make a hand gesture and a weapon will appear? In a way, that kinda reminded me of a show about a redhead magician who goes "Trace On" and swords appeared on his hands (4). He is so cool with that whole fight with-"

"Alright," I interrupted her. "Get on with the Ragnarok part."

"Hmmm... I can't think of anything since I didn't see the magic circle. There's nothing in the video that was recorded at your school."

"What? Are you saying we're the only ones who saw that?" Bayloupe asked.

"Probably. Can you please elaborate some details on the magic circle." the white nun asked and Bayloupe explained. Problem is, we only saw it for a second and it disappeared. We didn't have enough time to fully look at the magic circle but Bayloupe was able to catch the important details. Index spoke after her explanation.

"It does sound like a ritual for Ragnarok. As for why you two are the only ones who saw it, I still have no idea." She said in disappointment.

"It's okay. Thank you for your help. Bye." Bayloupe grabbed my phone.

"Okay! I hope all of you will be alright! Come back soon!" And then the call ended. Right now, there are still many unanswered questions. Interrogating them is really the only way now.

"So, wanna make some dinner with me?" Bayloupe asked as she stood up to go to the kitchen.

"Yeah, sure." I complied. Many thoughts are scrambling in my head but the biggest shit that still bothered me is how am I going to talk to my friends. I guess going to their houses won't be a bad idea. I just need to talk to them, that's all. If they hate me in the end, fine but if there's chance...No there is one. I can feel it. All schools in Chiba are suspended for a week so I have time to go to each one of them.

"So, which one of them are you going to meet first." Bayloupe suddenly asked.

"What?"

"You were thinking about how you're going to talk to each of them since you have a week to do it."

"...were you reading my mind or am I just saying my thoughts out loud?"

"One of a girlfriend's 108 skills." She smugged.

"Hoh? 108 skills, you say? I wonder what they are." I said with a confident smirk.

"I'll show them to you someday, now go chop those vegetables."

I complied and we went back to cooking while talking about mundane things despite all the things that happened today. Oh yeah, I forgot about Azusagawa and his supposed "distortion" thing that Bandaged Corpse was blabbering. So far, there was nothing weird happening to him nor around him. I'm gonna have to ask Bandaged Corpse at a later time. Right now, I should think of who should I talk to first tomorrow.

Thank you for reading this chapter. The next chapters will focus on 8man and one character in each chapter with some action probably or who knows what. My question is who should I go first?;

A. Totsuka, since he's sort of the most obvious first choice

B. Kawasaki, since she doesn't have many appearances here and I realized it too late.

Let me know in the reviews along with your opinions for this chapter. They will help me make my story better.
