Kimpusen-ji, Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture
A group of people in yellow uniform were sent flying by a powerful demon that went amok as they tried to seal it earlier. The squad leader grits his teeth together, unable to save the others. Commander Akiyama blames himself for not being strong enough and mostly he'll be blaming their current leader for not being considerate at the danger he put on them.
Like, who would put people that were at level 60~70 on a level 90 mission. They're not monsters who can defeat a demon this big, like him and his clan. For God sake! Their leader's family were a bunch of monsters, they can summon and use demons.
Rumor has it that the Hotsuin was the one who caused this nationwide calamity, demons rampaging at certain parts of Japan. Some say they wanted to rule Japan, others proclaimed that the eldest son wanted to rule the world by creating a system based on merit so he uses the demons to kill the weak.
It is confusing per se but some people believed that they are evil due to their ability to control something others can't.
The government shunned them back away, into the shadows, using them when they see fit. Oddly, the Hotsuin never resisted even though they can.
Akiyama stares wildly at the sky, as soon as he saw a helicopter hovering around the perimeter near them, his squad survive but they are badly wounded, the commander sighs in relief. Their back-up came just in time, thank God!
A person jumps off of the helicopter 7 feet above from the ground. The person landed perfectly and gracefully stands on his two feet. He wears a JP's standard director uniform with white gloves, a black heavy trench coat that seats perfectly on his broad shoulders, black baggy trousers, and black leather boots and a rapier hangs around his hips. The 17 years old boy looks the squad commander. Sharp gold eyes, boring straight to the man's eyes as if he's looking right through him.
"C-Chief Hotsuin!" The commander stuttered due to shock at seeing the young chief, he didn't expect that he would come. "Mr. Akiyama, withdraw your squad from this battle now." The young chief ordered with his voice filled with authority. Alkie didn't wait for the commander's affirmation to his orders and walk where the rampaging demon is. Unwavering when it screech at him angrily as it begun to attack the boy furiously.
The boy swiftly dodges the attack, summoning his demons and fished out his rapier from its scabbard whilst swinging it in midair, the other members thought nothing happen but the demon let out a loud scream upon having his arm decapitated.
The squad leader and other members turned to the young chief and see his rapier glowed in the gold light. It's the Dragon Stream, they can't believe they are seeing the Hotsuin's prized ability.
"M-Monster." One of the squad members said, looking at their chief with a horrified look. Akiyama can never argue with that, no matter how you look at it. A 17 years old boy that was at level 83, making a huge damage on a level 93 that none of them can make.
Only a monster had that kind of a power.
After decapitating Zaou Gongen's other arm, the young chief staggers back a bit while panting heavily. Alkie points his rapier to the demon and created a bind to hold it firmly, spirals of light sprung out of the ground and wrapped around to the demon's torso and limbs. "Loki, Lugh. Finish it. Maziodyne." he commanded which the demons complied, a powerful lightning spell and finish it off.
The others watch as the demon they fought for hours falls on his knees and down to the ground and was single-handed got defeated by a 17 years old. They didn't know if they should be scared of him.
The commander grabs a hand size rock and unexpectedly throw it at the teen who was hit on the head while placing his rapier back. "Why did you even send us here when you can defeat it yourself!" he yelled "We could have died! You fucking monster!"
The young chief turned to them then fall on his knees to prostrates. Performing dogeza. "I am sorry for my incompetence. Please forgive me," he said sincerely before looking up, smiling deviously. "But it's not my fault you're weak. Blame me for giving you all this mission for I thought you are capable of handling it. Alas, I expected nothing but victory yet it seems that I was wrong." Alkie says as he stands up, he knows that he expected too much.
Yamato is right, he shouldn't expect too high from others much or less from weaklings.
The 17 years old leaves the area, ignoring the helicopter and Akiyama's angry face and when he knew he was alone, the young chief let himself lean on the nearest wall while covering his mouth. Throwing up a cough fitting, blood gushes out of his mouth and dirtying his pristine glove...
He smiles bitterly, this is what it had to take of becoming a monster. He failed his oldest brother again. "...Sorry, Mr. Yamato. I failed you again." he mutters, tears cascading down to his cheeks, he didn't know why he's crying.
Can you tell a failure like him why is he crying?
