Hello again! Thank you for reading the previous chapter and I hope you enjoy this one.
You God Damned Monster
Ryuji's Room
Ryuji sat down at his desk as his lighthouse showed two pictures of the other two fisherman. "Dammit, both of them look super unappetizing." He sighed as he closed the picture and left his desk to lie down on his bed.
'You seem to be distressed, are you really worried about passing this floor? It won't be difficult.'
"No that's not it."
'Then what? Wait, don't tell me. Girl problems? I knew that you were getting to that age but I never thought you'd be interested THIS soon.'
"Wait what?! No no no, nothing like that!"
'You sure? I mean you ARE at the age where your hormones are at their peak. Which one is it? The red scout girl or the blue wave controller. Or do you have your eyes on the Tu Perie girl. She's a little to high maintenance for my taste but I'm not one to judge.'
"Are you serious?" Ryuji said in an emotionless voice as he stood up and opened the closet to reveal a complimentary t shirt and shorts. "The just thinking about the first test." he began as he started to change his clothes. "Do you remember how many people we ate?"
'The first test? I don't know, 25? 35?
"50, we ate fifty people." he sighed at his partners bad memory as he finished dressing.
'So what?'
"Think about it, the reason we got best seed was because we got a high score on the second test. So that means whoever got the other best seed was the one who did the best on the first test." He said as his lighthouse showed a picture of Wes.
'Now now, are you saying this kid was able to kill more people than US?, the Voice said as it looked at the picture.
"Well the whatever the case, we need to keep an eye one h-" he was interrupted halfway only for the door to knock. "Who is it?"
"It's me and Trish!" a cheery voice said.
"Me and trish?" He asked before turning off his lighthouse and opening the door to reveal Haruhi and Trisha wearing the same clothes he was wearing.
"Who are you talking to?" Haruhi asked
"Myself," he said in a deadpan voice, "Why are you guys here?"
"Well we came to see if you wanted to have dinner with us." Haruhi said
"Yeah, it's on us. Think of it as thanks for getting us through the last test." Trisha added.
'Oh ho ho, seems like you get to have a cushy free dinner with, not one, but two cute girls.'
'SHUT. UP.'
"Well if you guys are paying then sure." He said before looking over to his lighthouse "Lighthouse, Invisible Mode."
"Yay, let's get going." said the red eyes girl.
Cafeteria.
The trio entered that cafeteria and grabbed their food before looking over to the eating area. "So where should we sit guys?" Trisha asked.
Haruhi looked around and saw that at one table sat Drake and Wesly. "Oh let's sit with them!" she said as she led (dragged) them towards their table. "Hey Drake, Wesly, can we sit with you guys?"
"Sure, whatever." "U-um sure if you'd like."
"Cool cool." Trisha said as she sat next to Drake while on the other side sat Wes, Ryuji and Haruhi. "I don't think we've been introduced, I'm Trisha Shula. 13 years old, same as them two."
"Drake, 14."
"Hello, my name is Wes, I'm also 13. I hope I can along with you guys."
"My names Haruhi Fukari and this is Ryuji" she said pointing to the boy as he ate. "So where's Clari?"
"Eh who cares about that bitch." Trisha said as she began to eat. "She's a pain in the ass."
"Oh come on Trish, be nice. Don't tell me you're still mad about what happened awhile back."
Trish made a disgusted face as she remembered her argument with the Tu Perie girl. "I just hate stuck up people like her."
"But Ryuji's also stuck up." Drake added only for everyone to look at him with a you are about to die look.
"Heh, I guess I am stuck up." Ryuji admitted, "But the differance between you guys and me is that I can back it up." He said and as if to show that off he created a balls of light in his free hand while his other was used to eat.
"Damn man, are you a monster or something?" Drake asked as he and the others watched in surprise.
"Or something." He said with a cocky grin.
As they continued to eat, two new arrivals approached their table. One of them was much taller than the other boys and more visibly muscular. He had short silver hair and silver eyes. The other was not as impressive, she was a young girl. A VERY young girl with black hair and black eyes. They both wore the same clothes everyone else had. "... Ummm may we help you?" Haruhi asked.
"Yes," the boy said, "My name is Alm Wolfenstein. I am 15 years old and dream to become a knight. This is my friend Charlotte O'neil, she is 9 years old. She wanted to ask you a question." He said as he looked at Ryuji.
"Oh really? And what would that be?" He said as he finished eating his meal.
The silver eyed boy gently shoved the girl, telling her to talk to him directly. "U-ummm, I was hoping you can me train in training room 2 later?" She said before she ran behind the Alms leg.
"Why?" Haruhi asked, interested in the small girls intentions.
Alm sighed as the little girl stood behind him bat shit scared of the others at the table. (Ok maybe not Wes or Haruhi but the other three are aggressive) "Well you see, Charlotte was picked to be a Wave Controller. And compared to the other Wave Controllers she's pretty weak." He said and Charlotte nodded in agreement. "We were hoping that someone can help train her, so we picked the guy who seemed the strongest."
"Makes sense." Ryuji said before remaining silent for a good 30 seconds.
'What are you thinking?'
'I'm thinking that having a knight that is willing to take a hit or two wouldn't be so bad to have around.'
"Meet me at the training room later:" he said as he stood up to throw away his trash but stopped half way after thinking a bit. "Actually, all of you meet me at the training room tomorrow, after all of you have finished with your position classes." He finished before leaving. Having a hidden, toothy, smile to himself.
'I know that look, it's the look of an animal at an all you can eat buffet.'
'Not this time, this time I have a better idea.'
Hallways
After dinner and chatting, Haruhi and Trisha walked back to their rooms together, "Hey Trish?"
"Yeah?"
"Why are you climbing the tower?"
Trish stopped walking, causing Haruhi to stop and turn around, "I want to become strong."
"Why would you need to be strong?"
"... I don't know, I guess it's because I've always hated looking up at strong people." She said as they began to walk again.
"Looking up?"
"Yeah, I hate being looked down on."
"So do you hate Ryuji?"
"No! Not at all. Well, it's not that I hate him specifically. I just hate the fact that he's above me."
Haruhi smiled brightly as they were reaching her room. "I see, well that's good. I wish I had a dream to motivate me."
"Oh really? Why did you enter the tower?"
"Well to be honest, it's because I was bored." She said before entering her room. Leaving a bewildered Trisha.
"What?!"
Day 1, Fisherman Class
Eurasia Sakamori was a lazy man with black hair and unruly hair. The man stood in the middle of the classroom with three students scanning them. "This is pointless." He said as he sat down on his desk.
"Excuse me?" The lizard man known as Triton Dreg asked.
"What I mean is that neither you, nor the cyclops, are going to pass the test so what's the point in teaching the class." He said before resting his head on his desk. "Class is over, leave."
The room became quiet at this before Ryuji decided to stand up and start to leave. "Where do you think you are going?" The lizard asked from behind him
"... I'm leaving." He said before he continued for the door, only for the cyclops to block his path.
"Not so fast you monster." He said with a large sledgehammer in hand.
"What is this?" Ryuji asked as the lizard also drew a needle from his arms inventory.
"Me and lizard face over there realized yesterday that neither of us would pass this test if you are here, so we decided on a truce in order to 'eliminate' you." He said with the reptilian nodding in agreement.
Ryuji sighed before looking over to the lazy teacher, "You aren't going to do anything?"
"No." the lazy teacher said with his head still on his desk.
"I see, Arms inventory, Visible Mode." He said as a standard arms inventory with two special needles and a reel appeared. The the first special needle was black with gold accents on it and was much longer than the regular one, having a handle that was one foot long and blade that was 3 feet long. The other one was the same size and shape as a regular needle except it was gold with a black tip.
Ryuji grabbed the golden one and pointed it at the cyclops with one arm, "Your hammer looks heavy, but mine is heavier. This needle is called the Golden Tower. It's a compression weapon that is the same weight as a real tower made of pure gold." He said before gently putting the blunt part of the blade on Cabels shoulder. Not long after, the cyclops began to feel the full weight of the weapon which caused him to fall to his knees in pain. "This blade seems to be too heavy for you, eh? But do you wanna know a secret?" He said as he lifted the blade and sheathed it back into his arms inventory. "Most fisherman above floor 30 can hold this weapon with two hands." He said as he walked out of the classroom.
With Ryuji leaving, the room stayed silent as the two regulars could do nothing but stand still and contemplate the black a yellow themed boys words. And after a full ten minutes the only person who said anything was the one eyed man who felt the full weight of the blade say one thing.
"You god damned monster."
