Ficool

Chapter 16 - 16. Is it a dream?

Mika: I wanted to talk to you, that's the reason, in case you're wondering.

Yuki: I don't trust someone so easily, but I feel she's telling the truth. (huffs) About what? 

Mika: About Yuvaraj.

[ She started walking towards the main gate. He remembered their past. He rushed towards her. ]

Yuki: Where do you think you're going?

Mika: (slight grin) What? Are you gonna stand in school forever? 

Yuki: (huffs) I hate people. Hmm… Reason?

Mika: Well, it's personal. Well… It's actually professional.

Yuki: Does she like him?? But it's not my problem.

Mika: Not what you think. Anyway, how long has he been here?

Yuki: Well… Hmm… 2 years ago… No, 2 and a half to be precise. 

Mika: he could be one of them… Have you noticed anything unusual about him?

Yuki: (shook his head) No, from what I know.

Mika: Damn, these demons are smart. Anyway, I want to hear what happened from him. He said something about you. 

[ His eyes widen in surprise and asked. ]

Yuki: What did he say? 

Mika: There was that time you didn't call the cops… when he was getting beaten up by some people… 

Yuki: It's true, so what?

Mika: What exactly happened?

[ They both stopped walking. ]

Yuki: I was returning from a bakery, and I saw him getting beaten up. So I let them do it, and I did ask them to do it twice. I walked away after that. That's all.

Mika: That was a lie? Huh!

Yuki: Never trust him.

[ They started walking along the street. ]

Mika: I never did

Yuki: That's true, she wouldn't have asked me, silly me. So what's next?

Mika: That's all, at least for now. I do have questions about you, but…

[ She felt diverse negative feedback from all directions. ]

Yuki: I bet you have something else on your mind.

Mika: Wait a minute. What's this? I've never felt anything like this. 

[ Her eyes run through the surroundings, but as far as her eyes reach, there is nothing. ]

Mika: But they're far apart from here, sprinting towards us

[ A sharp thudding sound, over 30 demons marching towards them. They both took note of them. ]

Yuki: What the hell are these? 

Mika: Stay closer, I'm gonna blast the floor on the count of three.

Yuki: (confused) Huh!

Mika: 3… 2… 

[ The ground begins to quiver and shatter into small pieces. The second, those who came near them yelled in pain. ]

Mika: 1. 

[ The particles shot up with enormous speed, piercing through the flesh. But not a single drop of blood. They fell to the ground. ] 

Yuki: It was amazing. Is this a dream…?

[ Mika fell to her knees, spitting out blood. ]

Yuki: Wha…

[ Yuki's eyes widen in shock, his heart racing in fear. Fear of blood, his breathing heavy. He steps away from her. Mika looks at him in confusion and shock. ] 

Mika: Are you… Hemophobic?

Yuki: (Nods) Yeah…

[ Before he could think of anything, among those who were lying lifeless stood and charged in the direction of Mika. A sword hit Yuki's foot. ]

Yuki: I can't let her die.But… no buts, just do it.

[ He grabbed the sword and tried to block its attack. But he couldn't; that demon stabbed in his belly instead. ]

Yuki: This thing is strong.

[ He tightens the grip of the sword in his hands. ]

Yuki: No… I'm far too weak. 

[ Mika held it, immobilising it. He barely slashed through its head. He fell to the ground, blood flowing through his shirt. Mika stood up, reached out and sealed every demon around them. ]

Mika: Deactivate TFZ.

[ The scene cuts to them standing in the walking yard. ] 

Yuki: Is that a dream? 

[ He feels sharp pain in his stomach. ]

Yuki: You're explaining everything.

Mika: Yeah, you've the right to know…

[ She remembered the scene when he fell to the ground. A screen showed up in front of him. Saying "Congratulations, You're now a Level Two Protector." Yuki noticed the demons had disappeared now. ]

Mika: There is no point in hiding it from the level 2 protector. Activate TFZ. 

Yuki: What?? What's that?

Mika: Our world is governed by a system that recognises demons and protectors. These demons feed on human life force. Each one has a special power, and they are not always unique. These demons disguise themselves as humans among us. And we, the protectors, we're the ones who protect others with our powers. Draw a P on air and read the instructions for more info.

[ He drew P in the air with his index finger. A screen showed the title "Instructions". He read through it. ]

Yuki: So, this is the system you were talking about, huh!

Mika: Yup, I've sealed those demons and deactivated TFZ to stop bleeding. 

Yuki: You're strong, aren't you?

Mika: Well, you can put it like that.

Yuki: So, how do I see what my power is?

Mika: Go to the Stat tab.

[ On the left side of the screen, he spotted it and pressed on it. It displays "Power: Illusion" and some other parameters below it. ]

Yuki: It says illusion. 

Mika: (surprised) It's a rare power.

Yuki: Ohh 

Mika: But not as rare as mine, only I have the telekinesis among all protectors

Yuki: Even if it's true… You sure like to annoy me.

Mika: Isn't that a job for a friend?

Yuki: You're not my friend. 

Mika: Come on, don't give me that. I'm not so bad.

Yuki: Friends are just people who act as if they care about us, but in reality, they are just being with us to use us when needed. 

Mika: I can't ignore that. It is hard to bump into good friends, you know. 

Yuki: Do you expect me to believe that? 

Mika: You should give me a chance…

Yuki: (annoyed) Nobody ever understood me, and no one ever will.

Mika: 'Cause you never let anyone in.

Yuki: You sure about that?
