A/N:
Second to final chapter!
Here we go!~
"Ms. Beryl?" Almaz said shocked at the site of an unconscious Mao. In his honest mind, he thought Mao would beat her, but here he was, laying on the ground. It almost... disappointed him for some reason. He thought Mao would win. Not.. the newly titled Overlord, who was surprisingly now Raspberyl- who was Mao's rival as he knew it...
In fact, it surprise him at all that she would dare ever take Mao's father's title from him... he could imagine what kind of pain that had brought Mao, who even Almaz knew should have been appointed for Overlord- and not the tiny girl that laid before him. Tiny in size, he meant... not by heart. For all he knew, her heart was probably one of the biggest in the netherworld, but the smallest in the size that had been stored.
This girl.. even Almaz knew he had underestimated her as being "kind" for even a mere second.. as even a delinquent like her could not stop her demonic self from showing.
But this delinquent... he noticed.. was no more a delinquent. She was now just like Mao, an honor-student. And she was the Overlord now. And there was no stopping her.
As if she had an idea of what he was thinking, she casted a glare at him, which made his heart pump fiercely. His thoughts about it were little positive. Is she going to kill me too? Almaz thought, thinking the honor-student was dead, feeling despaired.
However, as he went to check the pulse, he quickly noticed he was most definitely alive.
He- He's alive? But that attack- that looked like it could've killed him! Almaz thought, astonished, taking a glance at the beat-up-Beryl.
And then she noticed, giving a grin at him as he stood there with a shocked look.
"Oh, so you know my name too, huh?" She said out-of-the-blue, clearly out of breath.
"Does this mean I'm your servant now?" Almaz asked and hoped it was not so.
"I can use some work around here, so yeah- your my servant." She said in her careless manor. Almaz sighed in defeat. "Mao on the other hand.. eh- I'm not sure about him. He could probably be my servant later, but I guess I could hold him off as prisoner, it's only right for what's he's tried to do~"
Suddenly, the energy levels rose as Geoffrey appeared between the two of them.
"No No No! Everything is going wrong! This is unacceptable, Ms. Beryl! I will not allow a former delinquent to become Overlord! Only Mao is suitable for such a title!" An angry Geoffrey shouted, but the grin that she was wearing only got brighter.
"Even you disagree with my new title, Geoffrey?" She asked, suddenly polite for her nature. For some reason she knew his name as well. But then she got downright aggressive. "Well then... I guess I'll just tear you to pieces too!"
As she charged straight towards him, through, he just stayed there.
"I am not in the mood to fight with such a pathetic demon." He said. Then under his breath, was words that weren't so clear to the ex. Delinquent. "You've ruined everything... this isn't according to plan at all. Hmph, I must have underestimated you."
And before she could even touch him, he was gone.
"Wow, so does he always just disappears like that?" Almaz said out of curiosity.
"Heh, apparently so. It's such a nuisance.. he seems like he's up to something, but I can't place my finger on what it is!... Anyway, lets go.." She replied, and Almaz could detect a slice of her old self. However her words were more mean-spirited then the old ones. But under her breath, she said; "But he is supposedly by my observation, Mao's loyal butler, so It could possibly be my own imagination..."
"Wait- But how do you even know him, if your whole memory has been wiped?" Almaz asked.
She gave him a glare, simply saying; "Just because I've been brainwashed doesn't mean I've lost everything."
"Why do you remember him?" Almaz asked.
"Let's move," She growled, ignoring his statement.
But as she took a step forward, faced away from Mao's unconscious self, she was stopped by the movement of his arm grabbing her leg. Almaz turned around as well by the sound of Mao's voice, a little shocked that his assumptions had been correct. In Beryl's own shock, she turned around a faced a half-opened eyed Mao, who could barely pick himself up off the floor.
"Urrgh... Beryl.." He moans angrily, and in the way of his tone Almaz takes it that he wasn't too happy about what she had done to him. He had scars all over his entire body, and his coat had been ripped apart from the fire-spells she had casted. So, he'd probably be furious at her, especially after getting his butt kicked by an Overlord.
But it wasn't like Beryl didn't look bad herself. In fact, she looked just as horrible as him with her torn up uniform, and her leggings had basically been shredded and were little existent.
Beryl kicked at Mao until he wasn't holding onto her leg anymore. Then in all her pride, she waited, surprisingly patient, like her old self, until he had gotten himself off the floor. Almaz stayed from behind and watched them interact, finding it interesting how Beryl was acting now, and wondered if she was started to recover more of her memories.
What else came from Mao's mouth, through, wasn't pleasant.
"What the hell did you do to me?" He said, after regaining his ability to speak. "I never knew a stupid delinquent like you could possess such power... whats your secret?"
After his words, Beryl couldn't help but laugh.
"Have you forgotten one tiny detail?" She said, almost enthusiastically, pausing for a second to make sure Mao was listening. Then she added; "I'm not a delinquent anymore! And I'm the freaking-a- Overlord, Mao! And your my prisoner now."
Before he could react or say anything, she grabbed onto his hands and tied them to the back with heavy-duty rope, and then told Almaz to escort Mao to his cell room.
His last words along with rolled eyes were;
"I'm not your prisoner of love, Beryl."
And his look told all words.
Which made Beryl give one last look at him, anger rising up in her at the word of love, a word she used to be accompanied with. And she slowly but surely, walked up to him, with furrowed eyebrows, rising her hand up as she struck him across the face.
She then, turning the tables in such a quick way, with a grin growing on her face; she asked in a taunting voice...
"Now who's the true honor-student?"
Before making her exit.
The days Mao spent in his cell were not pleasant. The only one who came to visit him was either Almaz, or Beryl herself and neither of their visits were satisfying. Especially Beryl's. And it was Beryl who usually came to Mao now, the only thing separating them being bars. Usually what she expressed on her face was what she felt. And it wasn't hard to catch what she was feeling. Whether it was the rarity of jealousy, the powerful punch of anger, or the sweetly but sadistic happiness that had lately been increasing, he could always tell. And right now she was grinning, a sign that today she was even more sadistically happy then the last.
He couldn't stand looking at her in the eyes- not after all he'd been through. Why didn't he kill her? If he would have done that when he had the chance, none of this would've happened. And then finally forced a look at her, in the eyes, and saw the happiness burning in her. It almost made her shiver.. as if she had a reason to be so happy.
"Beryl... what are you scheming?" Mao asked, gritting his teeth as she laughed from the other side.
"Scheming? That isn't very nice to say. I'm simply thinking of letting a breeze run through the netherworld." She replied, giving a look at him that told him not to interfere with her plans.
"No former delinquent should be Overlord, especially not you! Give me back my title, and the title of Overlord! They're mine!" He screamed back, grabbing onto the bars as to make a point, but she just shook her head no and grinned again.
"Why would I give back what I stole? Face it Mao, your not getting this title back, even if my life depends on it! Besides, I'm having too much fun as it is," The Overlord then gave a quick, haughty giggle before stepping away from the bars and walking towards the exit.
As she left, Mao protested to let him out, and she turned around, walking towards him as she said;
"Why should I let you out? You've tried to kill me twice, not to mention you gave me flowers. I have enough proof to wipe your existence off this world that you are a delinquent." She replied, stepping closer to him and he gritted his teeth.
"I am not a delinquent!" He shouted back. "I am one-hundred percent Honor Student!"
"Who's title is mine then?" She tauntingly replied, taking yet another step forward.
"Mine!" He screamed, trying to reach through the bars to steal her #1 honor-student title that she hid in her pockets. However, she knew exactly what he was doing, and began to walk away from him once more.
"NO NO NO! Come closer you idiot, I want that title!" He screamed, and she just gave one last look and grinned before leaving.
As he slumped back to the hard chair he usually sat in, now that he was imprisoned here, he grabbed the small empty pocket-sized journal he stole before being brought here, and wrote in it.
That damn delinquent... He wrote, gritting his teeth with every sentence. How dare she think that she can just steal my title like that, and the Overlord title I've been waiting to receive from my dad! And imprison me in this cage! I'll kill her! But first... He gave a wicked smile as he came up with another evil plot. I'll use her title to commit the most uncanny things an Honor-student has yet to see. I'll be as delinquent... curse the word... as I can, and she'll be so jealous, she'll regain her memories. And once she does, she'll realize how far she's set herself onto the honor-student path and beg me for her title back! It's perfect!
After he had written his master plan on paper, he tore the pages out of the book, crumbled them and teared at them until it was surely destroyed, and then stomped on them. After all, he couldn't have had Beryl find out what he was going to do. It would be the most terrible thing he had done, more terrible then that time he gave her flowers... and more terrible then the acts of delinquency she had done to him.
After all, he was going to become a real delinquent.. no matter how much he despised the idea.
A/N: I had fun editing and writing this chapter, through I faced a couple problems. I had to really add and edit and even remove some stuff.
Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter.
