Room A-0174 was quiet now, deeply thinking, each one of the trio was drowning in their own thoughts and trying their best to come up with the best answer.
Yume broke the silence.
All 3 of them were trying their best to stay quiet... As quietly as possible.
Yume:
"We create it."
Saito replied quickly:
"Create what?"
Haruka also wanted to know what she was talking about creating.
Yume:
"Create Alastor... If it doesn't exist as a stone, we will create it as a team."
Haruka:
"What team exactly? We are already in a Heroes organization, we can be heroes, and then when we go to higher classes or ranks, we can easily get the public's trust and expose the government."
Saito:
"I kinda agree with Haruka, you know..."
Yume:
"True, true... but this world doesn't need saving, it needs to be fixed."
She continued.
"It is corrupted... As Haruka explained, it is corrupted by the Government... it can't be saved... someone else will do the same... or maybe something else which is more convincing and deceiving, and there won't be anyone to detect it, innocent people will continue to suffer. It needs to be fixed."
Haruka got goosebumps, because these thoughts of Yume's match with βHaruka perfectly; he still remembers why he and βHaruka got into a fight.
Suddenly, something came into his mind. People get rejected by the Ferixo stones when they are not worthy, but Alastor stones, or those red-black gradient version of Ferixo stone, accept every mindset.
Haruka:
"Wait... I just remembered, people get rejected by Ferixo stones when they are not worthy... Shouldn't their mentality or mindset be the reason for that? If Alastor stones really aren't a thing, then how are those people rejected by Ferixo stones but accepted by Alastor stones, I mean, the red-black gradient version of Ferixo stones?"
Saito:
"Wait... then, as I said before, what if the villains themselves don't know they are being toyed with by the government? As pawns? Because that leaves only one theory, right?"
Yume:
"What if the stones just reject people when they have low mana?"
Saito:
"There are mages with low mana, too..."
Yume:
"What if the stones reject people who can't handle them properly? And those Alastor stones are just the evolved version of Ferixo stones that don't have the rejection system? And about that whole soul corruption thing, what if people just believe it that way, what if it takes too much to handle Alastor stones?"
Saito and Haruka were both stunned by the fact that Yume was debating and replying so efficiently and smoothly, coming up with theories within seconds.
Haruka:
"Oh... could be..."
Saito:
"I am out of theories."
Yume chuckled nervously.
Haruka:
"So, what were you talking about? fixing the world or like creating Alastor?"
Yume:
"Yeah, so like, we will create this team, let's name it Alastor. A villain team or organization, secretly, which is a revolutionary team. We will send spies into the T.H.S and we will create the most perfect villain organization that ever existed."
Haruka and Saito were once again stunned; they never thought Yume could be this vicious when it comes to being a villain.
Haruka:
"R-right... but we could've done that while being in here, right?"
Saito:
"Yeah, we don't have to go that deep."
Yume:
"So many students come in... I wonder why the produced successful heroes are just one-third of what comes in. I saw so many students enter here... but successful heroes are so few in number."
Haruka:
"Didn't you say you can't process complex things?"
Yume (blushes slightly):
"This is not complex! Hmph!"
Saito:
"I guess bro."
Haruka:
"I really don't like the plan of creating Alastor, but as my ma'am said, I shall obey her."
Haruka remembers how much he hated βHaruka for thinking that way, but now he is siding with Yume. And his own perspective is changing too; maybe he killed an innocent soul, a lost soul, maybe a broken soul.
Saito:
"Well, I don't mind starting an adventure with y'all. Marcus and others will join us, too."
Yume:
"We have to work harder. We will train from here to grow our own empire."
Haruka:
"You surely are fired up... Easier said than done."
Yume:
"This is our 2nd chance... There's no alternative, we have to work harder."
Haruka's spine got straight.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Yume punched his stomach hard as Haruka screamed.
Yume:
"Keep it low, idiot!"
Saito was chuckling and trying his best to hold his laugh:
"You two are like some married couple, both of you are such a tsundere."
Yume (blushing):
"W-what? Ts-Tsundere? Absolutely not!"
Haruka:
"We can see that."
Saito:
"You can't be talking, Haruka. All it will take is Yume grabbing your ear or complimenting you to make you blush."
Haruka:
"You gotta shut up, dude."
