I was lying on my bed while looking at my phone.
I was searching about how the S system works or what it was for. Maybe the S system is made by the school, that's why I didn't see the S system that I was looking for on the internet.
I turn off my phone and close my eyes to accumulate my energy. But before my eyes closed, I sensed a vibration coming from my bed.
I checked what it was and it was nothing but a phone call from Kizuna.
"Hello?"
"Amayori-kun, Kazanawa can play tomorrow. They say that she is fine now.
"That's good news."
"I'll end this phone call now, I have to go to her room now."
That's a fast call, I can't even talk on the phone longer.
I again went back to accumulating my energy.
While I was accumulating my energy, I woke up at 6 AM because of a dream.
A dream of a man who was the last standing who fought everything, even his successor.
"What a dream is that?"
I drank water and checked the other room and saw that Ishigamura was sleeping.
Since I can't sleep because of that dream, I plan to jog this early in the morning.
I went outside and a girl from our neighbor was going to jog too.
"Goodmorning."
And I got no response from her.
She was about to go in the right direction where I was going but she turned left and went down.
I met her again in the corridor of the school dorm and I continued jogging.
At the same time, she starts to jog at the time I start jogging too. Also, both of us jog in the same direction.
"Hey!"
She stopped and I continued since it didn't bother me but she called out to me. Well, I stopped since I was the only one who was around for her to call.
I turned around and she gave me a bad expression on her face. Seems like she was disgusting to me.
"Are you following me?"
"Isn't it just a coincidence?"
"Is there any coincidence that I've been jogging at the time that I went outside of my room and still you are with me?"
"It just happened to jog the same direction with you since this was the longest route back here."
Since she was in the same class as me, I wanted to get along with her even in this situation.
"Can we be—"
"Do not ever get close to me or talk to me."
I was about to ask her if "can we be friends" but she suddenly gave me a harsh word before she left and continued jogging.
Both of us kept our distance from each other. I think she feel uneasy while jogging on a guy so I just went in the other direction and went to the field,
I jogged 2 times on the 200m field and saw Kazanawa waving at me.
"Amayori-kun, How long did you jog this morning?"
"About 30 minutes ago"
"Kaga-san will be here too so let's go 2 laps since she is still not here—"
"AHHH!!! Help me!"
A shout comes from nowhere. We looked where the voice came from and we saw Kizuna running who was chased by a dog.
I never thought she was afraid of dogs.
She has been running and has already finished two laps while watching her.
"Kazanawa-san, is she going to be fine?"
"Do not worry about that, Kechi really loves chasing Kizuna so it's fine. Also, don't be polite when talking with me since we are friends."
"I'll note that"
A small toy ball of dogs bounced and Kechi chased it away.
"Phew, You leave her to untie Kazanawa-san"
"Where have you been Kaga-san?"
"How long has Kizuna been chased by Kechi?"
"About 7 minutes"
"Can't believe you Kazanawa-san, you always make Kizuna run."
Now that she mentioned it, Kizuna is not a good runner at all, but as I watched her earlier, she runs fast and her stamina is long enough. This is called adrenaline, the fear that boosts her body to run.
"Thanks for saving me Kaga-san."
"Nothing to thanks for"
"Oh, Goodmorning Amayori-senpai!"
"Goodmorning"
"Senpai? Aren't both of you classmates?"
"Hehe, I used to call him senpai since I was in grade 7 and he was in grade 8. I accelerate for some reason."
"Senpai huh?"
Kazanawa muttered and we looked at her.
"What's wrong Kazanawa?"
"No, no, no. It's nothing, really."
She flustered without knowing why. She looks red while Kaga and Kizuna are chatting. I was looking at her. I somehow approached her and asked her.
"Are you really okay?"
"Hmm, I'm totally fine. Look, see? I'm fine."
She is getting weird for some reason.
Kaga called us to go on a jog.
While we are jogging, I looked again at Kazanawa, she seems not really fine, and lately, she started to rush to go to the bathroom.
"Is she fine?"
"No, she is not absolutely fine."
We finished doing 2 laps and Kazanawa returned.
"Oh, you guys are done already? I'll finish first then let's go back"
Her looks went back to her normal self. I wonder what was that earlier?
They went ahead of me because Komigashi approached me.
She sat beside me and I started to ask her "what do you need this early?".
"Nothing really. I just wanted to get along with everyone."
"The president doesn't have a thing to say to me?"
"Nothing, but I have one warning to you"
Suddenly. The atmosphere changes. I thought it was my time to be friends with others but they have a reason why they keep close to me.
"To what your sister said, some of Cube X is in this school. Mostly, they're a lower high school. Earlier, while you guys were on a jog, there was something important that included the president, mayase-sensei, and the principal. I left my other mobile phone inside the room while on a call. I hear all their conversations. I don't like what they're thinking because it may be a problem for you."
"What did they talk about?"
"About the Cube X."
It's part one of my problem. Because inside the Cube X, so many kids grow strong and smart. Cube X's main teaching is human Abilities. Their top teaching is human strength. That teaching is worse than all their teaching. They made us become a parasite, isolated, and emotionless. Things such as Joy, Freedom, Weakness, and emotion don't exist inside Cube X. Cruelty, Abusive, heartless, and emotionless. Those things that they're teaching inside the Cube X. the second teaching is the power of hearing, scheming, and plotting. Ever since I was a kid, I did nothing but obey them. They throw away our freedom. Freedom to make friends and freedom to be happy. They built a place of fearful humans. Fearful more than the criminals. I did escape the Cube X to find my freedom and myself. But, it seems like I won't find anything outside. It's hard to find freedom in such a big world.
I'll just let the Cube X subjects be here. Unless they made a weird move towards me.
"Zomigashi, I want you to keep this thing a secret. Just for now, we need to stay normal until they make a move. They might cause something to this school just to force me back to the Cube X."
"You don't like to be inside Cube X?"
"Being a parasite, Isolated, being abused inside. Would you still want to stay there? I would like to look for my freedom rather than stay in that place. Right, Rutakaha Yue"
"It's nice for me that you remember my name."
"Didn't expect to see a person from Cube X. So how many Cube X subjects are inside of this school?"
"For Junior high school students. Overall, 10 Cube X subjects and high school. Overall 7 including you and I"
"Thanks, I'll be going now"
At the time I stood up, she pulled my shirt.
"What do you want?"
"Just to inform you, we all are ready to face the real you even if we dont wanted to"
"If you don't want to face me then obey me"
"Alright, let's have a bet. I'll obey you but if it's a bad thing, it's different"
I left because Kazanawa and others might be waiting on me. Also, at this time. Ishigamura might be cooking so I'd like to go back as soon as possible to eat the food warm.
While on my jog the way back to the dorm. Coincidentally again happened to jog with the girl earlier.
"This is not a coincidence—"
"It's futile talking to me."
Wow, I can't even finish talking.
While we are on a jog. I've been sensing what is about to happen. There is a student who has been watching us.
"Hey, are you being followed?"
"That's why I'm telling you not to be close to me."
"Why did they chase you?"
"Envy that turns into hatred"
Someone threw a knife and I pulled her to evade it.
"Are you alright?"
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Someone just threw a knife, maybe there is more. Stick close to me."
At this hour, no students weren't around since they were eating inside their room.
"What time is it?"
"Around 7:30"
Kazanawa should be going out at a time like this. Also, I didn't see each one of them call me. Something right isn't happening.
Another 3 knives were thrown toward us. A guy showed up from the bush with a knife and tried to stab her. She manages to catch one of the knives and defend herself.
"Run inside the school."
I followed her and we saw that no one was inside. And we saw a drop of blood inside. We entered the library and stayed hidden.
He's really excited. This is all Ryohei's doing. He called it the "bloody Festival". Maybe right now, Ryohei is in the student council that holds all the students.
"What's happening right now? It's not how they go this far. This wasn't my problem anymore. I don't see students around. Something is happening to the campus right now"
"Bloody Festival is the third-year class D's Festival. A real survival game."
"What do you mean?"
"It means this is between life and death so be careful. They use weapons. They're many so don't let down your guard. And if you wish to stay here, then stay. If you want to come with me then come."
"I'll go with you this time. I'll just need to see what's happening."
"They went to the second floor looking for us so we need to move right now to cross the hallway to go to the dorm. Stay here for a minute, I'll just check outside. Since you can fight, if I don't manage to go back here for 10 minutes then cross alone to the hallway."
Inside the principal building, at the very top. Ryohei is pointing a gun at the school principal's head.
"Just stay still little Ma'am"
"What will you do if you take over the school?"
"I'll crush that guy Amayori Takayaji"
"Do you know that it's futile?"
"So you do know about him after all?"
"You see yourself cruel but Amayori's brutality is on another level"
"It doesn't matter how brutal he is. He can't stand many enemies"
13 people total were down in a second on the first floor and second floor. They hit so many guy students' heads and tried to do some dirty stuff on the girls but I happened to see them and avoided it from happening.
I saw a wooden sword. I entered the classroom and beat up all my enemies inside the room.
"Sorry for that. Also, would all of you close your clothes? I have only one request. Would all of you keep this a secret? I'll make you all secure so I'll wait outside and follow me"
I mostly end up killing those guys. It doesn't matter anymore if they see that it was me who saved them. This school is already ruined so I'll end it and start a new fresh life.
The girls and I went to the library. It was the most secure place since the library is big and there are so many places to hide on.
"Sorry, I'd get late, do secure them and hide them"
"What's the situation outside?"
"For now, don't let anyone go outside. It's dangerous, also for a person like you, a girl. I'm gonna leave again, I won't come back so if ever you or they feel thirsty, there is a water dispenser inside that room. And let the other men push the bookshelves to make a barricade for them not to get inside."
"What about you? Where will you go?"
"I'll go find another place for other people to hide in."
"Amayori-senpai, wait a minute"
"Kizuna? I thought you were with Kazanawa and Kaga-san?"
"I was with them at the time we went ahead of you but we three got separated. Kaga went to the dorm direction and Kazanawa did go to the second-year and third-year high school students' Building. We contacted the third floor using the outside of the window. All of the students on the third floor are secured inside the Science room. There are not many people here, maybe they're at the dorm."
"What with the bandage on your head?"
"I got tripped earlier while some of a guy chasing me but Takamiha-chan saves me"
"Yo! Glad to meet you Mr— Amayori-senpai, hehe"
"Would you two mind helping the wounds of the others?"
"Let's go Nayahase-san"
"No thanks, I don't like getting attached to anyone"
"I see, alright then, just rest, I'll do it myself"
I talked with the girl named Takamiha while Kizuna helped the others.
"What do you want with me, Irregular X-senpai?"
"Takamiha, we have an enemy who is from Cube X. are you aware of it?"
"Of course I do, then? Is that all you want to talk about with me?"
"Secured this place until I came back. and comfort Nahayase to participate with you. She is a good one to use. I'll be going now"
"Roger that Amayori-senpai"
Inside the student council, Sakito is tied to the chair and full of bruises. While Kawaragi stays hidden because Sakito ordered her, she obeyed even though it was cruel.
"Stupid, there is no turning back anymore. He likes a peaceful life and you guys messed up with it. All of you didn't know him, your leader only knows him. Even Ryohei will fear him after all of this. Your high school life ends right here."
"Do not scare us, we are not stupid to be scared of him."
A guy knocked on a door and it was one of Kito's dogs.
"Kito-kun, this is bad. We saw many of our men were all down to the Junior high and first-year building."
"Seems like they're on their move. He'll probably fall into my trap. Alright, everyone, Let's go to the 4th floor and bring all our men. Also the girl we captured. Just like Ryohei-senpai's plan."
One of his dogs again interrupted.
"Kito-kun, There is a crazy girl who took down 15 of our men to the entrance on the first floor. She was as strong as Amayori when we fought on the rooftop. Her kicks and punches took all of them down. And I saw Amayori going to the Dorm while facing our 10 men. Ryohei has only 13 men on the 4th floor. we have only 10 including you and me. We are on the losing side just for a two-person. They're on another level than us, we should surrender—"
"Shut up, I don't need coward people around me"
"Even your ally?"
"Sakito-senpai, if it's useless, then throw it. Enough talking, I'll surely get rid of that girl"
"HAHAHA, the futility is slowly going up your veins. I'll just be letting you know that girls were trained by Takayaji."
Kito leaves the room while 2 men are inside and outside.
I reached outside and saw 10 students again get in my way. After beating all of them up I saw Kaga who came out of the dorm.
"What happened here?"
"I was walking and saw them beaten up"
"I see, anyway. Is the inside of the building safe? Is everyone fine? Students from the dorm participated with me to beat them safely without any sound and locked them all inside the staff room."
"Inside now is secure but there are a few innocent people who were injured. Just to be careful on the third floor. There might be 2 or 3 of them there so bring some good fighters if you're going inside to save them."
"Also, Tsuyuri-san has been caught by them. Please get her back safe"
"Understood" Even though I don't want to get into a fight. I hope Kazanawa and others can end this meaningless fight.
"Hey!!! Amayori, I'll come with you"
"Shimuyara? That would be a great offer. Let's go"
At the building student council, on the first floor, where Kazanawa is located. All their men were all beaten up by Kazanawa and we noticed us going up the stairs. And Shimuyara called her up.
"Shimuraya secured this place. Go with Kazanawa"
"I see, then I'll be going now. Be careful. Yeah, it's hero time"
I let them go because I notice that the elevator is going down. It might be few of them since no innocent student dares to go outside.
Shimuyara was running slowly at the stairs and didn't manage to catch up with Kazanawa.
"K— Ka— Kaza— Na— Wa— shit you are so fast."
He drank the water on the dispenser and started to shout"
"UOOOH!!! Kazanawa!!! Where the hell are you!!!"
Few of them heard Shimuyara's noise and he started to run.
"Shit I forgot it— Whoa—"
"Who the hell put oil on the floor— shit they are already here"
He went upstairs and their foot landed on the oil. Kazanawa showed up and Kicked them down.
"Huh, what's that sound?"
Shimuyara went back downstairs and saw Kazanawa.
"Kazanawa? You did that?"
"Hehe"
"
"Dumbass I slipped on that trap of yours"
"Huh? Me dumbass? You stupid are dumbass. stupid just like them who fell into a stupid trap. What a stupid, stupid than the stupid."
"Say that one again you little—"
"Quit fooling around you freaking shit!!!"
A guy interfered with Kazanawa and Shimuyara's fight. He rushed with a bat and ended up becoming the punching bag of Kazanawa and Shimuyara.
I heard them fighting while Kito was in front of me.
"All of you go up there, I'll face this guy alone. Imura is waiting on the fourth-floor door so some of you report it to him"
I don't think Shimuyara can handle Gojo but Kazanawa can so there is no problem. Gojo is stronger and more skilled than Kito. maybe Shimuyara can handle Kagumoto.
"Amayori, this is our second match. Just you and me. I was just carried away at the rooftop fight but this time. I'll gonna be serious—"
"I launched and attacked his head with my punch"
"Shit— So fast."
"Do you still want to continue this? You look slowly losing consciousness."
"Shut the fuck up, I can beat you even if you are fast—"
I continuously attacked him in several parts of his body. Head, stomach, and face are the most I wanted to hit but I've been targeting his head lately.
"Kito, you'll end up dying"
"Shit— where are you—"
The last kick that I launched on his head is heavier than earlier. I'm sick of it already so I did end it with a last heavy attack.
I went upstairs and on the second floor, I saw Kagumoto and Shimuyara down. I went straight to the Student Council. 2 people are guarding it and I beat them up into nothing.
I saw Sakito was full of bruises and tied to the chair. I tied him up and he was still unconscious. The Vice president comes out to the staffroom inside the student council room and I lend Sakito her hand.
"Hmm… Amayori-senpai, right?"
"Great place to hide up there"
"I didn't think there was a person inside that staffroom. Wouldn't it be easy to hide inside this closet?
"What do you need?"
"I wanted to fight you—"
I launched another heavy attack.
"You are really a monster Amayori haha"
"Rest yourself Sakito, I'll be going now to end the fourth floor"
"I'm begging that too you"
Kazanawa was sitting on the floor and Gojo was down. Seems like she won. Inside that door, they might be there so I'll be going in now.
"Amayori-kun, careful inside. There are still few since I only fought Gojo at the time I got here"
"Just rest there. If you still can stand, help Shimuyara."
I went inside and saw Tsuyuri and the principal.
"Would this be the end for the King?
5 men on his side holding knives While the principal and Tsuyuri are tied, blindfolded with bruises.
In this situation right now, Killing is only a matter in my head, nothing else.
