Chapter 140 - Black

[ Tuesday ]

[ 08:45 P.M. ]

[ Ikazuchi Residence ]

" I can't believe this ... !!!! " Hotaru says while walking as she tries to recover from her wound since the doctors who treated her recommended her to take a rest.

" Me ... an Ikazuchi .... rest !!!!!?? " she says as she tries to walk while Naori follows her while looking pale as she follows her mistress in her section.

The Ikazuchi Residence belongs to the Ikazuchi family that now only consists of Hotaru and her family. This residence is so big that has three large sections which consist of the Ikazuchi's patriarch's section, the Ikazuchi matriarch's section, and the last is her section as the house looked like a triangle of some sort.

While Hotaru talks in anger, Naori then exhales as she tells her master to rest since her father would like to see her soon. Hearing that, Hotaru bursts at her as she didn't want to meet her old man this night as she was very angry upon hearing him having another child outside his marriage with her mom.

" Scram those Clan Advisors who told my father to marry again !!!!??? " she bursts out.

" Now my position as the sole heir of this prestigious family will be eliminated thanks to that new child he's having !!!!! "she cries as she angrily tells Naori that she is very stressed right now for being dishonored by both his father, Rangga and Max as her father says that he is disappointed at her after hearing the result of that practice battle.

" .. Calm down madam ... " Naori tells her as Hotaru's faithful servant.

" It is not your fault ... "

" It is just a daily practice today that's all ... "

" Nothing for you to be stressed about ... " she tells her.

" You didn't understand anything didn't you? ... " Hotaru says as she explains that her father is a perfectionist person a person who will never tolerate any failure.

As she says that, Naori looks at her as she calms her down while telling her that it is alright as she pats Hotaru's back. At that moment, while Hotaru is crying like a grown baby, Naori looks at Hotaru's back as suddenly her nails increase turning into claws as she slowly pierces it to her making Hotaru shocked since her body suddenly turned while Naori holds her.

( Minutes later.)

" Welcome back Ryota-Sama (Lord Ryota), we've been all waiting for you ... " said the house maiden as the Ikazuchi patriarch leaves her without saying anything as he march to his daughter's residence.

.....

Ryota Ikazuchi, the current patriarch of the Ikazuchi Clan and the sole descendant of the great Ikazuchi who received his legendary Metahuman power from the Diviner itself.

As his descendant, he now uses his ancestor's name as his hero name since he wants to relive his ancestor's greatness since he is blessed with his ancestor's Metahuman ability [Flashing Thunder] which he later inherits to his only daughter Hotaru.

Because of that, due to his pride and perfectionism, he often hears the Clan's advisors on how to increase the Ikazuchi Clan's power as he dreams of having a Super Descendants of Tier V Metahuman as he uses many ways to achieve it even using marriage, to achieve his goal of having the perfect successor since he wanted to have one that probably had the power to rival that of Undefeated.

But now ....

His dreams are in question ...

As he heard the news that her only daughter ... that inherited his pure ability ...

Has been defeated ....

In battle ....

....

As he comes in, Hotaru already sits on her chair as her father comes in while Naori greets him, bowing to him as she should be.

" Welcome home Ryota-Sama ... " he tells him as Ryota tells her to leave them since he wants to be alone with his daughter.

Hearing that, Naori leaves as she bows at them and quickly turns back while she shows her changed eyes as she leaves them.

After she leaves, Ryota looked at his daughter for a minute ... and then he slammed the table as he tells her.

" You are a disgrace to this family !!!!!! " he tells her, barking at her, making her feel uncomfortable.

" How can you be defeated by a mere Tier IV Meta like that !!!!!??? " he asks her as he heard the news from the people he knows earlier.

Hearing that, Hotaru tells her father how did it happen which, unfortunately ... makes her father angry even more.

" You are a total failure .... Hotaru !!!!! " he tells her which shocks her as she cries.

" You are a total ... total ... total ... failure !!!!!! " he says as he insults her being weak despite being gifted as a Tier V and a Multi-Talent Metahuman.

As he says that Hotaru tells him that she is sorry for what happened as she vows that she will not make the same mistake again while father ignores it and tells her that he regretted having her as he says that her mother is a weakling, a Tier III trash that somehow also inherited her trash DNA to Hotaru, making her growth impure as she depends on her Tier III ability more than her Tier V ability that was greatly inherited from their ancestors.

" Father .... " she says to him as she felt insulted hearing him insult her mother as she bows while her hand touches the ground.

Seeing her daughter like that, Ryota then tells her that this conversation is over as he tells her that she will have a brother soon as he tells her that his new child will be a boy and he is also talented will Dual Tier V Meta abilities.

Hearing that, Hotaru gasped as her mind grows unstable as her fears of being replaced comes true.

"( No .... )"

"( No .. no ... no !!!!!! )" she says as her eyes change as its cornea clouded with a black thing as her pupils shaken turning it into a violet purple as Thunder comes out from her feet.

As she draws that, Ryota turns back as Hotaru then leaps towards him as she uses the knife in the table as she strikes at her father while Ryota who has that ability to dodge fast sees her teeth grows as her teeth became sharper like a monster.

When it happened, the two then slammed the walls that became their landing as Ryota sees her daughter changed as horns came out from her head while she calls him.

" Fatherrrrrr .....!!!!!! " she says as she uses her flashing speed to strike at him while Ryota uses his Tier V ability ( [Flashing Thunder] ) to strike at her using his nearby sword.

" Grrhh ... you troublesome daughter ... " he says while countering her attacks.

" I regretted having a failure like you into this world ... "

" For now our clan's honored name has been turned to shame ... "

" For we already lose our pride of being a clan with victorious members ... "

" Because of your failure !!!! " he shouts to her as he attacks her while Hotaru blocks his attacks.

" Now ... failure daughter ... " he says as he uses his stance.

[ Ikazuchi Stance: Thunder's Judgement ]

" DIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " he says as he really can't accept failure even at the slightest as Hotaru only lost in a 'practice challenge'.

(Like seriously .... does this guy have any logic left in his brain? or is his pride over his glorious family name already blinded his heart ...? ).

" [Sen no Inazuma no Surasshu] ( [Slash of Thousand Lightning] ) " he draws his ability as he cut off her daughter's horn while subsequently destroying her daughter's section where he cuts all the walls there with his blade.

But sadly, in midst of his ability, Hotaru sees him as she draws out her slash, a slash that is very new as the thunder she sparked was filled with blackness, a tainted black thing that swallowed the shining purple color from her thunder as Hotaru in that slow-motion moment moves quickly as she then strikes her father with the knife-sword filled with Black Thunder as she cuts her father down before he even reacts and draws his speed.

" Da ... mn ... you ... "

" Daug .... "

" ...hter .... "

[BAM] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( Outside the residence.)

As the Black Thunderstorm explosion happened, Naori looks at the residence as her master comes out with his father's corpse and looks at her with her black eyes staring at her as she took off her father's blade from his dead body while she also sees that Naori already dealt with the people in their residence leaving no one alive.

When the two met each other with their black eyes, the two smile as suddenly a large shadow appears behind Naori while the shadow brings out a Black-Robe person that has the ability to control the shadow as the person then offers the shadow to take them to the person's place.

" Show me ... " Hotaru says as she follows Naori and her new companion, leaving the Ikazuchi family Residence behind as she already took everything from her family.
