Chereads / Tartaros Hunter / Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: Night Fight on the Pier!

Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: Night Fight on the Pier!

It was several days before the rumors that Karia lived with Hikari subsided a bit, but despite that they continued to spread to the point that they began to downplay it. What most began to draw attention to this fact was that no one saw Karia's younger brother again at that time, Rinne had no choice but to make a small arrangement with the director so that this matter did not go to major problems.

On Karia's side, he simply went to the club room, in those days that both he and his friends spent with Hikari joined the club at Rinne's request because according to what they heard from her it seemed that this club apart from the club of journalism could obtain special permits for its students to be missing a few days.

- With permission, is there anyone?

He opened the door of the club finding it completely empty, not until he heard a certain noise of something falling to the ground, when to check where that noise came from, he ran into a certain girl with purple hair with some boxes around her with both hands rubbing her head.

- Are you okay Airi-chan?

- Huhu!… Senpai? Yes I'm fine now...

- You should be more careful.

- Y-Yes, I'll have it from now on.

Airi took Karia's hand to get up while both of them organized the boxes that fell to the ground, when they finished fixing the whole club they both began to make their own world.

Although the boy focused a little more on looking at the mission board that is in the club, being a group focused on all kinds of problems in today's society, they see themselves in all kinds of situations, from hunting monsters to arresting some criminals.

- Mmm ... I wonder if I should take one of these?

- I don't think you need to take one of those really Senpai.

Airi approached the boy and like him looked from time to time at the board full of some missions, but really her attention was more focused on the boy than on the board itself.

- But even so I want something to do, it's not that it's bad to help you when you're alone, I say as soon as I found out that you were the president of the club.

- Eh? Senpai I think you get it wrong ... I'm the vice president, not the president.

- What?!, So who is the president?

- Rinne-senpai.

The boy's face went blank when he heard that, Rinne Lucifer, is the current president of the student council also president of this club? The boy came to understand the reason why he ended up coming home late.

- I wonder if she won't have sleep problems.

- Did you say something Senpai?

The boy immediately got nervous when he saw that I mention those words out loud, now that he is supposed to say to the minor just now, for now he only decided to look away trying to ignore that question.

- Nothing, nothing, I think we should continue with this until the others come back, right?

- Yes ...

Airi was not sure whether to trust the boy's words because they still showed doubt in them, the two returned to what they were doing so that in a few moments without realizing it someone would arrive at the club.

- Yo...

It was a boy with short red hair with hazel eyes, he entered waving in a rather cold way and with an emotionless expression, this boy is called Muramasa Shinji and he is a third year student.

- Welcome Muramasa.

- Welcome Shinji-senpai.

- I'm back.

Shinji entered the club room while he left the scabbard of his sword on one of the armchairs, he approached one of the doors that were near the small club kitchen, he ended up opening it to reveal a kendo-sized room average.

Something curious about the academy was that each club had its own amenities to please the students, and this club was somewhat different from the others, the reason? Not even Karia himself knows it yet but since he arrived he realized that that this club has a video game console, a small kitchen, a kendo room and other things that he has not seen yet.

- Hey Karia, do you have time to practice a bit?

- Eh? Of course there is no problem I can do it if you want.

- Are you sure? Aren't you very athletic?

That last comment ended up hurting a little Karia who was only stabbed by an arrow in the heart, despite this, she still wanted to accept Shinji's proposal who for his part could only sigh softly taking the sword that was on the couch.

The two went to the small kendo room to start the little practice, once they were inside the two took their swords, Airi who was there to be the referee of both was a little scared because the two would use their real swords to Unlike the bamboo ones that they always use to practice.

- Well the rules are simple, until your opponent is disarmed or decides to surrender they will not be able to stop this fight, Any questions?

- None.

They answered them simultaneously, having both their eyes on the opponent in front of them, Airi only sighed, she knew that they were not going to stop even if she told them, she simply let them be before giving them the signal to start.

- Get started!

She barely managed to give the signal to see how both were already in front of the other, she did not even blink to see her in front of her opponent that was an abnormal speed, she only heard how the swords collided over and over again.

- Not bad Karia, but you're still slow ..

In a quick way, she passed the edge of her sword, unbalancing the boy a little, who was just crouching down, seeing how the blade of the sword passed over her nose a little.

- Woahh!

- Hmp!

With a swift movement of his sword, Shinji disarmed Karia who only stared at the edge of the sword in front of him, the black haired boy only sighed in defeat seeing how the red haired boy extended his hand to help him up. .

- This is already frustrating .. There are four with this one.

- At least you try, right?

Karia sighed again as he went to where the sword was stuck in the ground, he was disappointed in himself, he still had a lot to learn, right now he began to doubt what Rinne mentioned that he did not need fencing classes.

And his training partner did not think the same as him, Shinji was as surprised as Airi to see how he was in front of him, unlike his previous encounters in this one he had even more speed than before, even Shinji himself dared to say that his speed was at another level, the problem is that he has not mastered it yet.

- I think you were great Senpai! So I think you should cheer up!

- Seriously, I'm fine Airi-chan, it's just that it's a bit disappointing.

Karia tried to make her friends see that she was fine but she was still really shocked at having lost another round against Shinji, but she couldn't do anything, after all the red haired boy was older than him in fencing it was logical that will beat you simply and easily.

- No, this time you won.

- Eh?!, What's that Muramasa? It was you who disarmed me first.

- But you gave the first blow long before me, you also took me by surprise when you appeared in front of me out of nowhere.

- Ah ... Well ... That's hard to explain haha.

The other two saw the nervous look that was on Karia's face who was looking away, before Airi or Shinji asked, they heard someone open the door of the club. The three went out to verify who had entered and indeed, it was the rest of the club, Rina, Hikari, Shinsou, Mushashi, Shirou and Rinne, what most caught the attention of the group was the fact that Shinsou seemed to be beaten and all in pain Before this, Karia was only left with a poker face, knowing why.

- Seriously, Satsuki-kun doesn't understand morals.

- You should not expect much of what I wear in this academy and you want to know what kind of underwear I use.

- Well Rina-san and Hikari should calm down a bit, our Shinsou has always been like this.

Musashi intervened in the conversation of the elf and the fallen angel who were still annoyed with the blonde, Karia and company only remained silent observing that because they did not know why they were so upset.

Karia who decided to take the initiative and approach Shirou who still kept smiling watching as Musashi tried to calm the other two girls who were still annoyed with Shinsou.

- Shirou now what did Shinsou do?

- Let's say we were climbing the stairs and .. As you can see.

- This Shinsou ... never changes

Karia could only put a hand on his friend's somewhat disappointed face, but he could not do anything it was the behavior he has always had since he met him, for him it is normal to see him do this kind of thing every day.

He let out a small smile for some reason seeing this kind of scene with his new friends was not so bad, Rina and Hikari had to swallow their pride and apologize to Shinsou for almost killing him, for his part the blonde only promised that he would not do it again when less without the girls not seeing him and again he earned another slap from both teenagers.

The day for them passed quite normal except for one thing, for a week Karia has been having a strange bad feeling about her friends but she couldn't tell what it was exactly, maybe he was just very confused these last few days. Right now he was with Rinne fixing a couple of documents in the student council room, he did not want to leave her alone, besides that he worried a little that she was not sleeping properly.

- I seriously worry you so much.

- Hehehe ....

Rinne answered him in a quite calm and calm way, keeping his eyes closed organizing the last pile of documents, for her part, Karia made a little jump when she heard the voice of the girl next to that question, he really wondered if it was so obvious. even Musashi noticed her concern the week before.

He gave a small sigh putting the documents in their place to look at the girl in a serious way, their eyes met again somehow, it was as if they had their own space right now until.

- Are you really okay Rinne?

- If I'm fine, thanks for worrying Karia.

I answer in a simple way, leaving the boy in his place, he got up from his chair before looking out the window, it was already a bit late, the sun had already set and everything around him was dyed black.

- We should go home now.

- Eh? Of course, no problem

- It's good that you understand.

- Did I say something wrong?

Somehow I came to notice that the attitude of the girl took a sudden change a few minutes ago she was calm and serene but just now she felt somewhat hurried, she simply decided to pay attention to her and follow her both were leaving the council room to run into Airi who was a bit surprised to see them come out so suddenly.

- E-Eh? Senpai what a coincidence hahaha.

- Airi-chan, what are you doing here?

- We always go together, I usually let her dry from her house.

- Oh I see.

Now she realized the reason why Rinne was late every day, she usually has a mountain of paperwork in her office while when she finishes this she takes Airi who lives in a very different district from her. The districts in Bayview were sacred places for many people and races, the four islands were divided into four sectors each with a district for each, each of the districts governed by entities known as the four kings.

- Somehow I feel a little better having Senpai with us.

- I see that the news scares you a bit.

- What news? I haven't heard anything for a few days.

Rinne made a small gesture for him to look at one of the digital screens that were near the place.

"In these latest news, some disappearances of some girls under sixteen years of age have been reported"

The boy blinked three times when he heard what the woman who was broadcasting this news said, if he remembered correctly Shirou and Shinsou were talking about this issue while they were in the club. And from what he heard from his two friends they hadn't the slightest idea what they were doing with these girls.

For some reason that I can not identify, he felt a certain chill in his spine, he took Rinne and Airi by the hands who had faces of surprise at that act. A huge blow was heard on the ground after the three of them left that place, the dust in the place was present and without realizing it a huge muscular man came out of that dust

- Oho~ you're fast kid, it's the first time I've seen someone dodge one of my blows.

- W-Who is this Senpai.

Airi quickly hid behind Karia who put a hand behind her to keep her away from danger, Rinne who was also on the ground quickly shot a threatening look at the unknown man who let out a huge sigh letting out his breath.

- Hmp!, Could it be known why this interruption is due? Attacking some simple students.

- Oho~ What an honor is this, the daughter of the demon king Lucifer in front of me, it is a pleasure to meet you princess, my name is Darius the third.

The man introduced himself in a courteous and generous way to Rinne who simply did not trust the smile that the man had on his face at all, Karia on the other hand got up from the ground clashing both hands to invoke her Dainsleif and have it in her hand , this fact made the smile widen even more.

- Haha! brat I see you have a Dainsleif with you, this will definitely be interesting.

- And what about that old man! I'm not afraid of you!

Despite saying those words with all the courage he had, his hands were shaking and this did not go unnoticed either by the man or by Rinne who had their eyes on the boy.

Darius laughed out loud seeing the panic in the boy's eyes, for him this was like a reward brought from heaven, but now he had to focus on something else.

- I wish I could have even more fun with you, but I have other plans, Oraaaaa !!!

With a quick movement he disappeared from Rinne's sight to be in front of Karia who before he knew it ended up being thrown against some trees, taking them away in the process.

- Senpai!

- You come with me girl!

- Not! Get out of me! Let go!

By the time the other two reacted, Darius already had Airi between his shoulders so he could give them a smile by giving them a small sign with his hand to let them understand that he would be leaving. And as he gave both of them to understand, he took a big push making a small crater where he was taking a huge leap starting to jump over several buildings.

- W-We should follow him Rinne.

- You are in no condition to fight Karia.

- But I can't let him take her away like this! , I wouldn't consider myself a man if I did!

Rinne saw that determination in his eyes again, it did nothing but help him to get up off the ground, despite the blow he received he was still not in a position to stand but he was doing his best to stand this was something that made him proud. the girl in a way.

- Mm ... Well if there is no other option, hold on!

- E-Eh? What are you!!

He did not even finish the sentence so that he could see how the girl extended black wings from her uniform to take the boy's hand, when she did this she took an impulse to end up taking off towards the sky, for her part, Karia tried to hold on as hard as he could to not fall.

- This is the plan?!

- It's better than being all over the island walking aimlessly.

- But this doesn't help anyway!

Rinne was more or less trying to balance while in heaven but she realized that no matter how hard she put in, she still couldn't carry the boy with one hand, the first thing she did was put a gravity spell on him.

- Gravity Zone.

- Woohh! ... I'm floating ... It was to be expected of you, you're a prodigy at these.

- Thanks for the compliment.

She gave her a soft smile as she closed her eyes for a few moments, the boy did nothing but blush for a few moments before shaking her head, it was not the time to admire the girl who was next to her.

While still holding Rinne's hand, they both looked for Darius, but no matter how hard they looked they saw nothing, no trace of him in even a single place until Karia surprised Rinne with a sudden cry of surprise.

- There is! It's far but I can still see it!

- Eh? ... But if that's too far, how can you see it from here?

- I would not know how to say it, but I think it would only be good to follow this intuition.

Rinne only smiled knowing the answer to this, after all Karia had a long way to go, she put her own thoughts aside to continue with her flight in the direction that the boy was indicating.

In less than they realized they were near one of the bays of the island, the two ended up landing near some cargo boxes trying to climb without a single person seeing them, which would ruin the surprise.

The two simply watched as some men ended up insulting or treating some girls who entered one of the boxes in a bad way, this only made their blood boil thanks to the rage they were feeling right now.

- Come on walk you brats we don't have all night!

- Quick! Quick! Get on now!

- Let's go!

Those men could only hurt those poor girls with a whip while ordering them to enter the boxes, Karia and Rinne just stood silently watching the situation waiting for any opportunity to do something.

They were about to comment on something before someone covered the eyes of both teenagers for a few moments, the two stayed a few minutes in this way before he took his hands off their faces only to meet the rest of the club being in the same position as them.

- Guys, what are you doing here?

- Nothing "Why are you guys here?" We were worried about you Takamiya.

- Yes, Rina-san didn't stop worrying about the president.

- Is my lady okay?

Karia simply looked at the concern on everyone's faces for them, she smiled at this despite not having her brother with her, she had good friends who were like her family to him, and she would not let anything destroy this happiness that he had right now.

- This is crazy and I guess everyone already knows it, but even so I want you to accompany me I feel that with all of you by my side I could do anything, are you with me?

- You don't have to say it twice, we would be willing to do anything for you partner.

Musashi was the one who spoke while I put a hand on his shoulder, the others simply nodded smiling at that giving an answer to the boy who simply stared at them with the same smile.

- But we would need a name for our team, one that is cool like superhero teams.

- Shin-kun is right but we should leave it to Karia-kun, I don't think you're the one for that.

- Oe! Emiya that hurts you know! , I have feelings you know!

- A name? I give them a name?

He was thinking for a few moments ignoring the moans of Shinsou who was hitting Shirou on the other hand, the white haired boy ignored this, on the other hand Karia remained silent for a few moments leaving the others in bewilderment at that even though they were finished surprising with the fact that he got up from where they were hiding.

Not caring if they were attacked or found Karia had a determined look on his face looking at his companions with a determined look.

- Hunter, that will be our name and that of the club, we will dedicate ourselves to hunting down all the bad people in this world.

- Hunter? I like the idea, but are you aware that we will be in trouble all the time?

- I do not care, I have a goal in this world, is to get my brother back and become the king of the four Bayview islands.

That last revelation left everyone with their mouths open, Rinne only kept a smile from ear to ear when hearing what the boy proposed, it was definitely a good idea to choose him.

The others got up like Karia smiling next to the boy, the boy could not be as happy as now seeing that his friends wanted to support his selfish desire, he simply could not contain the joy he felt right now.

- So when do we start this rebellion, future king?

- Good? Admiral Musashi, how about we start with them?

- We will give them what they deserve for hitting those gorgeous girls.

- Shin-kun you have the batteries on.

Both Musashi, Shinsou and Shirou ended up agreeing to make a little strategy of what they would do, the three of them left the others behind, starting to jump through each of the boxes that were on the dock. Without anyone seeing them, each one took one of their weapons to surprise the traffickers who still did not realize the presence of any of the three of them until.

- Achooo!! Excuse me, could you tell me where there is a handkerchief?

- Hey, you should go back to....But heck?!

Before he said a single word, Shinsou ended up kicking him in the face, throwing the man to the ground, he simply complained of the pain, he didn't even see when he got behind him, what kind of brat was that.

- Everyone to him!!

- Do not believe that I will make it easy just because they are terrimorphs!

One after another each of them ended up being hit with the boy, although they ended up on the ground they got up again and again. The most curious thing about all of them was that all those people were terriforms, people who could take on a human appearance but, under them, they hide the appearance of animals.

Although it seemed hard for Shinsou, he still did not stop, with each blow he gave them and each one was faster and faster than the previous one, in the end they ended up giving way to the point of staying on the ground.

- Withdrawal....Ha!

- You will not escape...Lord terrimorph.

- When?!

The man only showed amazement and surprise when he saw him in front of him as well, when he looked around he realized that there were also more and more people on the ground, what kind of boys were these, they ended up with almost fifty people in less than a flicker.

He remained in silence looking at how Shirou had his sword close to his neck, the white haired boy still wore that characteristic smile of his but the man could feel it, that murderous instinct that was hidden behind that kind and reliable smile.

- I'll finish with the other side...

- Good job Mu-chan, now...Could you tell us what this little job of yours is due to.

He brought the sword back to his neck, the man became even more nervous at the action that the boy did, Karia and the others who were taking care that there were no more terrimorphs in the area approached Shirou next to Shinsou.

The man had no choice but to speak, it was this or to be killed by this boy, he simply stared at the others waiting for him to finally release the words they wanted to hear.

- If it is the Hyoudou girl they are looking for here they will not find him.

- Are you saying it's gone?

- Indeed boy ... Darius is gone, he took the girl before you and your friends arrived.

- We were late then...

Hikari, who had been silent for a few minutes since they finally arrived, took the lead in speaking, from the others they were only frustrated and annoyed at not being able to save his comrade who was still missing.

Rinne who was staring at Karia who was silent was about to say something but stopped, the boy's face was serious but not even she could decipher exactly what the boy was thinking.

- Don't worry guys no matter that I'll bring Airi-chan back, it's a promise.

- You don't even have a clue where it can be serious like walking in circles brat.

The terrimorph that was still on the ground and with Shirou's sword near his throat spoke again, on the other hand Karia could only scratch her cheek a little giving the older man a clumsy smile.

- Nothing happens if you don't try? Not?

- You really are an idiot!

- I am, and always will be, it is for that reason that this idiot that you are seeing in front of you wants to propose a rebellion to your boss.

The terrimorph just stood still watching as Karia made a sign to Shirou to remove the sword from his neck, Shirou obeying this kept his sword in its sheath while the terrimorph ran away from the sight of the teenagers.

- Do you think it was best to let him escape? Seriously, are you very nice Takamiya?

- It will be fine, we also told Muramasa to call the knights of integrity

- Takamiya, sometimes it surprises me how soft you can be...

Karia who was left confused by what Shinsou said just cocked her head to the side watching how the others laughed at the scene that the blonde and the black haired boy just did.

Far from where the teenagers were, the terrimorph they had let escape stopped in a certain way falling out of sight of anyone trying to recover some air, it simply stood there waiting to recover air before feeling a huge dark pressure behind it. .

With the fear that he brought on him, he barely had the courage to turn to see the person behind him, and he thought he would come out of it alive.

- Mm? So you were the only one who escaped?What should I do with you?

- My sincerest apologies my lord! But some brats appeared out of nowhere proposing a rebellion against you!

The last words attracted the attention of the newcomer, who simply kept thinking for a few moments, on the other hand the terrimorph could only stay on the ground giving him a bow, trembling with fear, waiting for him to spare his life.

- Rebellion huh? Would you tell me the names of those children?

- I only got to identify two of them, one was the daughter of the demon king Lucifer, Rinne Lucifer and another brat named Takamiya Karia.

That last name made the man show a certain malevolent smile that the terrimorph knew better than anyone, before he realized it, he tells of huge black thorns came out of the ground, completely penetrating the man's body, which twisted in pain until to the point of releasing a huge cry of suffering, in the end he ended up stopping moving, dropping a huge pool of blood to the ground.

On the other hand, the man only laughed maniacally when he saw what I caused, it was not as if he really cared about killing him, he simply saw it as another toy for his amusement, he approached the corpse taking a taste of his blood for a few moments.

- How sweet ... How unlucky that I didn't live that long, I hope you have a good life in the afterlife, thank you for your arduous service with us, Takamiya Karia? Rebellion huh? You will love this, brother.
