Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 - When Will They Arrive?

[ Place : Unknown ]

Somewhere unknown, a collection of monsters seemed to be created from an infinite amount of energy. If people saw it, they would put on a deathly pale expression because it was completely beyond what they thought.

To make matters worse, the monsters seemed to be preparing to launch an attack, and that was evidenced by the many black hole-like portals connecting them to certain places.

The question is, when will they come? Can humans survive?

[ 3 months later ]

In a room, similar to a command center, a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman were focused on observing the large screen in front of them.

The various screens and holograms around them showed data as well as graphs. The information displayed was difficult for ordinary people to understand, but one thing that could be understood was that they analyzed various information regarding Eternite.

...

"Dr Hasegawa, Mr Akahasa, we received information that there is a slight change in gravity around Japan. We found that the anomaly was so small that we did not detect it before. But now, it seems that the change shows a slight crack of space around Japan."

An officer in black and white uniform reported the information they found. He reports mainly to its leader, namely Prof. Hasegawa.

Hasegawa herself is a beautiful woman with long black hair. She wears glasses and wears a lab coat like a professor. She is the current leader of the ETER Union.

Not that the uniformed officer disrespected the man beside her. After all, that middle-aged man had strength and status, even he was respected by many.

Only, it was Hasegawa here who could make the decisions here.

"Will Eternite appear again?"

"That's a big possibility. And from the changes that have occurred, the scale is quite large."

"So the 4th Invasion huh. When and where exactly will they appear?"

Dr Hasegawa asked the officer who reported the information.

"We can't say for sure. We only know that it will happen around Japan, but the timing itself is hard to pinpoint. It could be 1 year from now or 4 to 5 years at the most."

Hasegawa turned to the middle-aged man.

"What do you think, Mr. Akahasa?"

Hasegawa asked the middle-aged man who was beside her.

The middle-aged man was the current head of the Akahasa family. He was highly respected even by Hasegawa himself.

Even though Hasegawa was his superior, but that didn't change the respect she had for the man. It showed how the other status of the middle-aged man was.

Master Akahasa himself looked calm, as if he expected this, or at least he wasn't afraid. It probably stemmed from the sheer amount of battle experience he had gone through.

In his mind, there was no point in panicking or being surprised.

"Another invasion huh. Once one of our cities was destroyed, but now we might be able to take revenge."

A strange aura radiated from his body, as if he wanted to eliminate all the monsters immediately.

Well, even though the Man said it confidently, but in his heart he knew that it would definitely not end without any casualties. But in that situation, he had to show his confidence to keep his subordinates confident.

"Just do what you have to do, little Hasegawa. Prepare everything to the maximum, especially evacuation and rescue. You are currently the leader of the ETER Union."

Then he turned and waved his hand.

"This week I will be taking time off. When the preparations are complete, you can call me at any time to take command of the battle. I will meet my grandson first."

Then the middle-aged man left the room.

"Alright everyone, start making rescue and battle plans. Also tell the 5 Great Families for help. Inform them that the 4th Eternite Invasion will take place in Japan."

After Mr. Akahasa left, various preparations began to be made at the ETER Union. The preparations will take a long time because they want to make maximum preparations to minimize casualties.

Luckily that won't be happening anytime soon. But even if it happens in the near future they still have a plan even though the loss will be huge.

[ Library ]

"This is a good school indeed."

Currently Riyu is in the school library, looking for some information about the best Academy in Japan, Yozora Academy.

(Yozora (Japan) = Night Sky)

His family had him transfer to Yozora Academy for several reasons. Riyu hasn't decided because he doesn't really care about any school as long as he can be with Mei.

However, after reading the book about Yozora Academy for a long time, Riyu realized that he was jumping to conclusions too quickly.

From the book Riyu read, he felt that the academy was suitable for Mei. The reason is because the resources, technology, and quality are very good. If the result is satisfactory, he will invite Mei to study there. Of course, he would ask Mei's parents for permission.

In essence, that was why Riyu kept looking for information about Yozora Academy.

Right now, Riyu was in his school library, looking for some information about the best Academy in Japan, namely Yozora Academy.

(Yozora (Japan) = Night Sky)

His family had him transfer to the Academy Yozora for several reasons. Riyu hasn't made up her mind yet because she doesn't care about any school as long as he can be with Mei.

However, after reading the book about the Academy, Riyu realized that he was jumping to conclusions too quickly.

From the books he read, he felt that the academy suited Mei very well. The reason is because the resources, technology, and quality are very good. If the results are satisfactory, he will invite Mei to study there, of course he will ask permission from his parents.

In essence, that was why Riyu kept looking for information about Yozora Academy.

[ POV Riyu ]

I'm currently in the school library. I'm quite busy, especially since I'll probably be changing schools. Of course, if Mei stays here, I'll stay here too. I have my own freedom.

Well, although it would actually be great if Mei could go to school there.

"What are you reading?"

Mei came from somewhere I don't know where it is. She was wearing his school uniform. It adds to his charm that I can't help but be mesmerized by her mere arrival.

That's also the reason why I'm just silent and absent-minded at the moment.

"Why are you just silent? And what's with that stare?"

Mei was a little annoyed that I didn't answer her. However, I can't be blamed. She was the one at fault for being so beautiful.

Her appearance fascinated me. I'm even prepared to stare at her for hundreds of years.

Am I crazy? Possible.

"Your beauty is driving me crazy, Mei."

I digress, I know.

"Ouch."

And ended up with him hitting my head. It doesn't hurt. Especially since I practice regularly.

100 push ups, 100 sit ups and run 10 km make my body stronger. Well, of course not only that.

Well, obviously I'm willing to be hit a few times just to see her smile. Hah… (sighs) I'm really crazy.

"You have not answered my question."

Mei said in an annoyed tone that I still didn't answer her question.

Okay, no more kidding.

"I was reading about Yozora Academy."

I showed the book cover in my hand.

"That book?" Mei asked with a bit of hesitation.

I saw Mei start to show a sad face and... frustrated?

"Is something wrong Mei?"
