[Leon]
I can't find the president right now. She must have been very far. I have been dealing with these pesky vampires, swatting them off and they are quite stubborn.
Also, my female spirit samurai is about to disappear since she's reaching her limit. Without her, I'm vulnerable against them.
Looking at my status scream, I curse.
[Onna Musha-Omo
Time Limit has been reached!
Cool down: 20 minutes]
I have a long cool down with her.
The female spirit samurai is flickering. If she disappears here which is high up from the ground, I will fall and show many openings to the enemy. I have to think of something.
To my surprise, my female samurai vanishes causing me to fall and scream. "Ahhhh!"
"Damn it!"
Three of them jump at me as though about to slash me with their sharp fingernails. Afterward, a quick giant bird pass by and catch me with its talon.
I sigh in relief. I seem to be saved since we are far now from the vampires.
Looking at the bird that got me, it seems to be a giant eagle toy made of wood.
I'm filled with glee since I know whose ability this one have. A girl from the top looks over to check if I'm fine. "Leon, you're still alive, huh?" She says in a gloomy manner.
"Huh?! What's that disappointed voice Fenna?"
I can't tell with her monotone and bored voice if she's being sarcastic or not. Regardless, I'm glad she is on time. If she weren't I would have been killd back then.
Her name is Fenna, our class treasurer, she is a short and petite girl with twin pony tails. She has a pink hair and doesn't talk much. But when she does it usually pisses me off.
She has the system title of the [Marionnete Sorcerer: Level 125]. She has a convenient ability being able to turn small toys that she created into tough, giant toy monsters.
"Whatever, let's just go to the class pres and save her. Class pres, stay there, your hero is coming!"
"You can't even handle those three what makes you think you can handle her enemies."
It feels like a slam on the gut hearing her frank words.
"Shut up Fenna! It was one against three."
"But the one our president is up against is five no, ten times more powerful than your enemy. I mean she's also a hero like ourselves."
Hero like ourselves? It can't be.
"What are you talking about Fenna? There's no way that can happen. If those two classmates that betrayed us were to be up against our class pres, it will be a piece of cake."
"Well, just see for yourself."
We have a bird eye sight from up here. We are now proceeding to the location where class pres and the rest of the classmates are.
It looks like there are several up them and up ahead they are against one person.
My eyes widen upon seeing their enemy clearly, without a doubt--
"No--- way Myla!"
Only a several meters from that location, I can see the bodies of the imperial knights strewn on the streets.
"Th-then those bodies..."
"She did that, but unlike before this time she did it with no hesitation and without batting an eye."
Myla, why is she doing this? If someone were to turn evil in our class, I suspect she would be the last one to become one.
I mean despite her conflicts with the class I knew she was a kind soul.
As I remember it was during our clean up. Myla, Kezia and I were about to dispose the garbage to the disposal area. On our way there, one teacher ask me to take care of a rodent that was damaging our plants on the agricultural garden.
I had an iron rod on my hand, chasing it and intending to kill that pest. At some point, I finally cornered the thing. I would be able to kill it and return to my room.
Myla blocks my path. "Leon, stop!"
It startle me as I blush seeing her in front of me. "My-Myla what are you doing?"
"Isn't it cruel to kill that thing with that?" She eyes my iron rod.
"Forgive me Myla, but I can't lose that thing now. Can you move away? This might be my only chance."
To my surprise, the rat just skitter out and enter hole to disappear. I sag in sadness. "That thing is gone now."
"Forgive me for that Leon, but I hope we can just scare it away from the garden. We don't need to resort to violence."
I sigh and face Myla. "It's fine. You're always the kindhearted one Myla, that's why I'm your fan!" I smile sincerely.
However, those are just memories right now. The Myla I know is probably gone. I mean I used to have a slight crush on her.
While I'm reminiscing the past, Fenna says something. "Leon, looks like we are coming to this, huh? Myla, used to talk with me when we are waiting on the train station. I used to greatly respect her."
"Fenna, you're wrong. That thing is not Myla. She is just an enemy wearing Myla's skin. If she is against the president and our classmates, we'll kill her for good!"
That's right, I made up my mind. Even if she's someone who looks like Myla and who intends to harm against the president and my classmates, I'll help ending her!
[Rendon]
I slowly approach Myla without a weapon on my hand, raising my arms up in surrender. "Hey Myla, I know things were tough back then but we can talk this through. I know you were bitter when we sacrificed Verni, but come on it was necessary."
The president is yelling at me. "Rendon, what are you doing? Return at once!"
Myla glares at me piercingly. "You heard her Rendon, you should go back while I still have some patience left."
Not working, huh? I guess what I said about Verni pissed her off. Her eyes says she is dead serious but the Myla inside her should still be there even if she changed a lot.
I need to do this for the sake of my classmates!
[Nathan]
What is that idiot Rendon doing? He always mock me for being a muscle brain and wreckless but isn't he the wreckless one?
Rendon is still talking to her out of desperation. "You know Myla, I had a crush on you back then! I can't fight a girl who I adore greatly right?" He bows while blushing. He looks away blushing while scratching his hair.
Kezia beside me pouts after hearing it. "Rendon, you idiot."
However, what is he trying to do by confessing? This isn't like him.
"Myla, you were a great girl! You are kind and brave. I always thought that you were the ideal girlfriend. It would be every men's dream to have someone like you."
Looking at Myla she seems to have her guard down. Looks like Rendon's words are working.
"Rendon-- you know as things are now, we can't return as it was how it used to be--"
In all of a sudden, Rendon holds her hands in a romantic manner. "Then I'll go with you Myla. If it meant betraying everyone here."
My classmates are shocked after hearing what Rendon said.
"It can't be."
"He's letting his penis think now, huh?"
"Rendon you bastard!" I shout. However, I notice Rendon's other arm which is hidden behind him is flinching as though he is signalling for something.
I gasp in realization.
Before we realize it, Rendon reveals a holy dagger on his arm and stabs Myla's shoulder. Her blood smears out as she crouches from pain.
Rendon pants from surprise. He sweats as he staggers back. "Everyone do it!"
It takes a second for us to realize it was Rendon's plan, we then proceed to attack.
[Rendon]
I falls back to the group only to recieve a slap from Kezia. "Rendon, you were so convincing that I hate you!"
I rub my cheek. That hurts. Why do girls slap us guys all the time even if they meant to praise you. "I take it as a compliment then. It's an oscar worthy performance right?"
Kezia folds her arms on her chest and looks away. "Well, whatever. At least, I'm glad you were on our side."
I guess that's why she was upset, huh? I thought she would be more concerned for my safety. Kezia and I have been pretty close even before we got transported into this world. She's my childhood friend after all.
"Look here. There's no way I would betray the class president or you. Well you are dear to me." My smile showering bright upon her.
Kezia blushes and looks away. "Okay, I forgive you, but if you do that again without telling us beforehand, I'll whoop you."
[Nathan]
On the scene, Myla is currently on her knees, pulling the holy dagger on her shoulder. She won't be able to cast her skill while that thing is stuck on her body.
Using my double axe, I charge at her desperately. However, just when I am about to get close to her, she effortlessly pulls the dagger out out and slashes my chest with her fingernails, causing me to scream in pain and fall on my knees.
She pierced my armor and delivered a significant damage. Worse, the wound that she inflicted brings me pain just by moving. I can't move.
Damn it, it must be her skill!
Myla is walking towards my classmates with eyes filled with bloodlust. "From that performance, I now understand you people fully. Just when I was a little hesitant to kill you, it seems I no longer feel that way. Thank you Rendon for showing the light. First, I will start with you Nathan!" Myla eyes me. She then summons dark tentacles around my body and it slowly swallows me. I gasp from fear.
[Rendon]
Damn it, it wasn't enough to kill her. As expected.
Right now, Nathan is being coiled by the tentacles as though being captured. He is then being crushed as the tentacles become tighter and tighter. His screams full of anguish permeates the air.
At this rate, Nathan might die.
Shira forces herself to stand up. "Myla, stop it!"
Myla glares at me then to the president. "Rendon and Shira. Don't worry, you will join him shortly. In fact, everyone of you here."
