Chapter 96 - Chapter 94: Offering (1)

Rei was angry as he was breaking every single training in the room, constantly resetting the simulation before using shadow manipulation and channel master to create powerful attacks. "Damnit! If only I was faster. Stronger and better… Then maybe senior Eunji would still be here…" He uttered to himself before the black haired male continued his rage by destroying more of the training dummies before calling it a day.

The Assault Division office was silent as he had to close everything by himself for the second time of the week. Three days ever since the incident with both Kamigami Academy being raided then with Eunji been kidnapped, the power dynamic and hierarchy went into shambles with every students becoming anxious of who might get targeted next while also looking out for themselves since Rinka is barely out of her dorm to stop any bullying happening in the campus.

The once bullies who feared bullying others had now started once again upon learning that Eunji was gone and kidnapped as they started beating those who were weaker than them. Although, some of those former bullies refused to relapse and go back to their old ways but instead found the courage to fight back for the weak.

Rei had joined Keitaro along with Sylvie to look after both senior Rinka and Ha-Eun who's staying in Eunji's room. The two girls who are depressed and down are struggling with coping with their own things as the trio can only help them by providing them warm meals and company.

Sylvie wanted to repay the debt by taking care of them when they had done a lot for her when Rei tried to take his own life. The magenta haired girl looked after Rinka a lot while doing the same to Ha-Eun afterwards if the orange brown haired girl had gone to fall asleep again.

"I'll talk with the fxcker if he has any moves to help us." Rei said to Sylvie as he left her alone with Ha-Eun while Keitaro was on the couch as the black haired male sat next to him before closing his eyes, meditating to visit Keith while the blue haired male went to check on Rinka again if she was doing alright.

......…

Rei was surprised at the atmosphere upon visiting the mindscape. Total silence and heavy dreadful feeling as if one single move will be the death of him. The once skills that were like a throne to Keith are now all shattered to pieces or dust all over the place, the atmosphere emitting from him was heavy to the point that made Rei want to go back rather than pushing forward.

"Speak." Keith growled to which sent shivers down his spine as Rei tried to calm himself down before talking.

"I-I need to know if there's anything you could do to bring her–" Rei was immediately interrupted when a pair of golden yellow eyes looked directly into his, surprising him as the atmosphere grew heavy.

"She'll be fine for now. At least. Now go. Or I'll change my mind." Keith said before forcefully pushing Rei out of the mindscape by slashing him which caused the latter to jolt awake on the couch that surprised both Keitaro and Sylvie.

"Eunji…" Keith uttered to himself as he clenched his fists, his golden yellow eyes glowing brighter than before as he was looking over to the spiritual energy that belonged to headmaster Sho.

"Screw this." He said before manifesting himself out of Rei's body without permission, silencing him as he immediately went towards the headmaster's office.

......…

To Keith, Eunji Jeong was nothing more but an interesting student-sorceress who had the best potential to reach his level. The sexual encounters were just bonuses to him in the beginning but soon found them to be beneficial. Emotions that he suddenly started to feel which made him both guilty about the memories of becoming the tragedy that the lives of every living being.

At first, he was arrogant because of his immense power when first awakening in Rei's body through his incarnation process. Then came the ruthlessness and sadism throughout the process. When the second relic came in during the incident where the brat almost died along with the magenta haired brat that almost lost her life except only her prowess was gone. He suddenly gained another batch of memories that made him doubt his own existence.

A memory of him to which he could barely recognise since the person that was supposed to be him acted differently to who he is now. A man laughing softly while letting a strawberry blonde woman lay her head on his chest who's also laughing like him. The sight was similar to what he saw from Rei's memory when watching romance films, a married couple who loves each other so much that nothing was gonna split them apart.

It was weird since that was the first time that Keith had felt anything other than being ruthless and always craving for fun such as killing or mocking people. When Rei wanted to enter in a contract with him, a sudden flash of memory of the same woman entered his mind while listing out the things he had promised to do.

This is the whole reason why he decided to hang around with Eunji, trying to see whether he was getting soft or did he change throughout the years without any memories of his entire past except for becoming the calamity that brought tragedy into the world.

......…

Sho was surprised to see a male who was taller than Eunji in a few inches, jet-black hair with blood red highlights along the tips, pale white skin, extra set of eyes above and below the main ones. Golden yellow with the main ones with sharp fox like slits, bright blue on the left while bright red on the right.

"Sho." Keith called out to which brought Sho out of his trance. "Yes? And who might you be?" The headmaster responded as the latter responded back with words that surprised him before focusing.

"You… what do you want?" Sho demanded as Keith locked eyes with him. "An offering." Keith responded before letting out a quick flare of his spiritual energy that made the headmaster shiver as he had to comply with his statement, not wanting to face the wrath of the ancient being and making Keith destroy the academy down to the ground.

"Alright. List them out." Sho said before Keith started to explain the entire thing to him.

......…

Tengen was having the time of his left, returning back to the chamber after play pretending to be the greatest and heroic sorcerer hours ago as he was surprised to be met with someone that was panicking. "Sir! It's about Eunji!" They exclaimed as the white haired male chuckled, trying to diminish that they could just heal her if she's near death or breaking down since he expected for the sorceress to be broken after being assaulted by a behemoth until the next statement had made him enraged.

"The fxcker is refusing to touch her! It's like they're scared of her for some reason even when her prowess is sealed off!"

Tengen had no choice but to head to her cell, seeing the sight made him confused as he reached out to the door of her cell. If the latter couldn't do it, then he'll do it himself. He just needed to apologise to Neon before handing her to him for taking her for the first time but the moment he reached out to the handle, a heavy atmosphere suddenly dropped on him.

He could feel his body shivering then also succumbing to the will of someone stronger than him. If he decided to ignore them there was no doubt that he was gonna die even if he didn't want to admit it. "How long has it been since they were like this?" Tengen asked while still trying to get over the feeling of death that was looming over him when trying to do something bad to Eunji.

"They've been like that since yesterday. I tried to use the medication on the latter and still refused to do it while I only handed a small amount of food to the sorceress." They explained as Tengen nodded his head.

"Sir Tengen." Another of his staff called out to him as Tengen dismissed the case with Eunji as he decided to focus on this one.

"What is it?" Tengen responded before the staff responded after bowling down professionally, "Our dear guest who's been providing us how to use the power from the Fallen's relic is now incarnated after their long cultivation. He's waiting in the private room in our headquarters."

"I see. Handle the situation here. Don't escalate it. We need her alive. Just figure out why it is like this." The white haired male said before glaring at the behemoth then at angered Eunji who was glaring at him silently.

......…

The white haired male soon arrived at one of the private rooms in the headquarters as he was met with a male with long grey hair and bicoloured yellow and blue eyes. "Oh? You must be Tengen. It's a pleasure to meet you." They introduced themselves formally.

"Yes. And you must be one of the great old ones like the 'Fallen'. Must I say Ryukyu Sasaki."

The two smile at each other, ready for their discussion or any negotiation that needs to be assessed.
