Ficool

Chapter 5 - Transcend stones

Ezio takes a blue glowing stone from his pocket before disappearing mid-fall. He then appears behind me, delivering a kick that knocks me over the line.

I struggle to not hit the ground, but it was a pain to move after enduring the full force of that kick. It felt like I had no more energy.

Zed [Level 3]: What did you do?!

Ezio did not curse. This time, he felt apologetic. He felt like he needed to tell Zed about all of it. What he did that night. Bird. He simply apologized to all of it; then left the arena before his people got the chance to celebrate his victory. 

[Arena exit]

There was no doubting my supernatural senses. When I make it to the exit, I see the unknown reaper, a tall menacing figure ready to reap. I've heard about reapers who reap souls at night. Right now, I am ready for more action if Ezio was more so willing to fight till the hour had gone past. But before Ezio strikes, he stood still for a second, then lowers his weapon. After that, he leaves with no other words, except his apology.

I head home to rest, only to get up late that night to see class president.

I was left alone circling the house by the slums to fully understand what Ezio was so desperately trying to say.

[School Underground Hallway]

Terrified gang member [rogue]: Are you sure the best way to beat the DEATHKNIGHTS is to summon the Demon Lord?

Gang member [rogue leader]: Why must you ask? Have you not thought about it enough?! If we summon the Demon Lord, we will be his master, we will have complete control, we can have him fulfill our dreams. There is one task that we must do. Recreating this world!

Curious gang member [rogue]: Wait, what are these signs? The symbols are created using words, words with symbols, but it's hard to read. This would take a few minutes to correctly translate with modern technology.

Once the translation is complete, the gang members look at each other with more curiosity.

"If you have come this far, turn back now."

-Words written by the devil who owns this place.

The following day, I got to relax more because battle hour was forgotten about. Although it's true that I lost, I was able to give it my all. There was some confusion about whether Zed had actually lost or not. The demons stated that Ezio had actually touched the line first, but that was only them trying to fight with words. I could pick up the sound of more noise from door. Because these houses (if you could call them that) were so old, they didn't have a doorbell, so you wouldn't know if you got visitors.

 Ezio appears behind the door before asking if he could enter. I reluctantly make the choice of allowing him.

Ezio: So, listen Zed. I apologize once more for what happened. I had a talk with the student council about it.

I had cheated during that fight, because I didn't appreciate losing to a nobody like you.

Zed: Is that all you came here to talk about? I left all that behind already.

Ezio: No. there is more that I need to talk about. Let me explain some more to the story. A while back, there was a series of battles happening. Those battles happened because of some gang members who targeted our friends. The only way we could win each fight was with each other. We were two completely different souls. I was a cool powerful spirit who was capable of winning

all my battles. There were also rumors about a boy who was evil when they were young. That boy was you. But when the gang members found out, they made fun of you, didn't they? Because you did not appear evil at all. Some started to call you a little boy who couldn't fight. Then, all of a sudden, I abandoned you. Yesterday, you proved me wrong, so I apologize for that. So that is why I'm asking to have some friendly spars from now on.

Zed [Level 3]: Yeah, no.

Ezio: What? But why not? If I remember correctly, you like martial arts, correct?!

Zed [Level 3]: Yeah, I do. I've been setting more goals for that as well.

Ezio: That's good! We can start by sparring with each other more often!

Zed [Level 3]: Yeah, no.

Ezio: C'mon, I want you to get me back to that top position.

Zed [Level 3]: Fine, but only if you stop talking so much.
