Chereads / NAARA: Blind Sword (English) / Chapter 12 - 11:Little Truth

Chapter 12 - 11:Little Truth

Reen fell to his knees after drawing his sword then followed by Naara. They were both exhausted and in bad shape. It was very natural considering the wounds they received were not trivial ones.

Niin and Binggo showed their concern for Naara.

Naena moves to take care of them. Naara who felt that he didn't need anyone's help was about to stand up but a cold sensation had touched his skin.

Niin watched as Naena placed her palm on Reen's upper back and Naara appeared a green circle of light with a crescent moon symbol in the center.

Naara felt the pain in his entire body gradually disappear, the wound closed and a few moments later he felt healed.

"Thank you, Naena," said Reen shortly after Naena healed him and Naara. In response, Naena just nodded with a smile.

"Okay, time to meet the leader," Reen said standing up, followed by Naara. For a few seconds, his golden yellow eyes stared at Naara. There was something he felt when he saw that face but he didn't know.

A black hole suddenly appeared in the air wall, distracting all attention. Not long after the hole opened, a man in a mini hat came out followed by a man with glasses.

Niin looked at them warily. She sensed the strong Qiwer aura from the two men.

"O, Jeki, Yyug. It's really fitting that you came," said Reen.

"You think we came for what. You took too long," said the bespectacled man when he arrived in front of Reen, while the man in the mini hat sped away at stormy speed towards Niin.

He knelt while giving a sunflower.

Of course this took Niin by surprise and confused. "W-what ...?"

"Oh this sunflower is for you because you are like the sun that shines on my heart and dispels all darkness in my soul," Jeki said dramatically, making everyone look weird except for the very loyal Naara with his flat face.

Niin looks at everyone until she stopped when she saw Naena smiling and nodding slowly.

Niin hesitated to take the flower that Jeki gave her and at that moment the soul in Jeki's subconscious blossomed.

Seeing Jeki, Yyug as usual, he will take a deep breath while Reen seemed to chuckle while scratching the back of his head.

"Reen, what happened?" Yyug asked when he saw Reen and Naara's clothes which were tattered and covered in blood.

Reen explains it was nothing, just a minor incident and now it's over.

"Then let's go, the leader has been waiting for you," said Yyug ordering everyone to enter the hole.

Jeki invited Niin in but Niin looked at Naara instead, only after the man moved did she follow. When they all entered, the black hole closed and disappeared from the wall of air.

In a room with a large table in the middle, Ryukai and Levi were sitting opposite each other, they seemed to be having a serious conversation.

"... so you have absolutely no idea what Thougha's purpose of building those 99 towers was?"

"No. Apart from carrying out a coup, we Aces were assigned to gather strong and genius people to work on building the tower. General Thougha never told what and why the tower was built," Levi explained.

Ryukai's brow furrowed at what Thougha was really up to. He had a bad feeling about the 99 towers. There was something big behind it, the Aces didn't even know anything, the spies he had dispatched had not provided enough information either.

"Then ... do you think the person who helped design the building knew?" he asked, thinking of all the possibilities but Levi said no. Their consciousness was in General Thougha's control.

Ryukai felt dizzy thinking of Thougha, he needed to massage his temples while Levi just stared at the person who a few minutes ago had become his new leader. A few seconds of silence were allowed to flow until a hole opened in the wall.

"Finally, they come," Ryukai said.

All RGO members get out of hole. Levi looked surprised when he saw Naara and Niin while Niin immediately hid behind Naara when he saw Levi.

"Welcome to RGO, Naara Arude." Ryukai stood up and walked towards Naara.

Niin who was behind Naara felt an extremely powerful Qiwer aura from Ryukai, an aura greater than anyone else in the room.

"Who are you?" asked Nora flatly.

Ryukai smiled lopsidedly. "Ryukai," he answered.

A thin line of surprise appeared on Naara's face. Ryukai ... that name reminded him of one of the people he hated.

"It seems my name reminds you of someone," Ryukai said as if he knew Naara's thoughts.

"..."

"That's right. I am the younger brother of your teacher, Ryukei and also the younger brother of the person you killed."

Niin's eyes immediately widened. What does Ryukai mean? Naara killed his teacher? Impossible.

She turned his head to look at everyone in the room, no one was surprised, they seemed to already know the crux of the matter between Naara and Ryukai.

"Huh. So, now you want revenge?" Naara said sarcastically.

"I want to but I'm bound by a promise."

"Promise?"

"Let's sit down and we'll go over everything one by one." Ryukai turned and walked towards his seat.

All the RGO members scattered and pulled out their seats at the side of the table. After everyone was seated, Ryukai began to explain in detail about RGO to the three new members. The explanation is almost the same as Reen's previous explanation but here, Ryukai explanation that RGO has made alliances with several countries and other organizations that oppose injustice.

Their mission is to help liberate a country or group from colonization and plunder. In return, they would provide an alliance agreement.

Responding to Ryukai's explanation, Naara sarcastically said that Ryukai was the same as his brother. They were both naive fools, thought that all countries would not betray. Naara asked in what way they would ensure all countries and groups would not betray the deal and Ryukai firmly replied 'equality of fate'

Naara knew exactly that was the sentence his teacher always said. Ryukei believes that it is the equality of fate that will make one want cooperate.

The same pain and suffering will make people understand each other, then together they will unite to get out of that pain and suffering. Naara remembers that his teacher was a man who really dreamed of a time where all people unite against injustice and walk side by side towards peace.

It seemed that Ryukei had passed the dream on to Ryukai.

Because remembering the past, Naara began to feel annoyed.

After receiving no further response from Naara and the explanation of the organization also being completed, Ryukai instructed all his members to rest.

When Naara stood up and was about to leave, Ryukai advised Naara to rest well because tomorrow Naara would start on a mission but he instead received a cynical response from Naara.

"Huh. Let me explain to you. Me joining doesn't mean I will follow all your orders and I have no interest in doing charity work like that."

"As expected." Ryukai thought while massaging the bridge of his nose. "You are not interested in doing charity work but I believe you are interested in information about your father," he said, stopping Naara who had arrived at the door.

"Master?" Niin looked at Naara confused. Confusion also looks thin on the faces of other RGO members.

"Caary out mission and in return information about your father," Ryukai added.

After hearing that, Naara continued his steps without saying anything.

Ryukai hissed while massaging his temples again. "This father and son is really giving me a headache."

"Leader," Reen spoke up, causing Ryukai to stop his activity and stare at the young man standing in front of him.

"Do you know who Naara's father is?"

Ryukai stared at Reen fixedly. In his heart he realized that he had never told his members about this. "He's … General Thougha," he said, making the entire room gape, not to mention Levi, who had worked under General Thougha for many years.

"W-what?" Reen making expression of disbelief.

Ryukai snorted and started to tell him about General Thougha and Naara's relation which wasn't like a typical father and son relation. General Thougha had made Naara a vessel for Seimon and ....

Niin who was walking with Binggo following Naara in the corridor suddenly stopped. "Binggo."

"Hmm?" Bingo looked up.

Niin looked at Naara's back which kept away and then imagined when Naara turned into a half monster. "Do you know about the teacher who can transform in to a half-monster?" she asked without taking her eyes of Naara.

"You mean Seimon."

Niin looked at Binggo with a questioning look.

While looking at the figure of Naara who kept away and disappear around the corner, Binggo tells that Seimon is a living weapon that General Thougha planted in Naara's body.

"J-general Thougha?"

"So you don't know yet?"

"..."

"He is Mr. Naara's father."

"What?!" Niin felt her heart stop. Father ... Master ... imposible ....

Binggo continued his explanation, he said that Seimon would start crawling out if Naara used forty percent of his qiwer and would rise if it was more than that.

Niin imagines Naara who fighting and protecting her in the fight against Aceblue. "Then ... what happens if Seimon wakes up?" she asked with downcast eyes.

Binggo took a deep breath then closed his eyes and said, "Master Naara will probably die."

Instantly Niin's eyes shot up. "W-what? W-why?"
