After school, Randy came home early because the exam only lasted about 4 hours. Randy didn't know what he was going to do in broad daylight
"I want to study but tomorrow is a day off, huh.... my school is weird. Why does the exam start on Friday, instead of on Monday?" Randy was complaining in his room because he was bored.
The exam was held on an unsightly day. Friday is the last day of school this week because Gakroh School adheres to a Saturday and Sunday as a day off system.
"Yo kid, instead of staring at an empty table, talking with me is a better thing to do." A voice was heard inside Randy.
"Who is that?!" Randy glanced around his room.
".... I'm in your mind!" The voice sounded angry.
"You... Was that demon earlier, right? What happened to you?"
"I don't know either. After I entered your body. I was forced by brute force to serve you!" The demon's voice was sad in confusion.
"Hwa ha ha ha! Servant Demon?! What a lame!"
"Hoy, that's because you sucked me up!"
"But what really actually happened?" Randy, who was laughing earlier, turned serious.
"Oh what about? Me inside you or Time Fracture?" The demon shrugged his shoulders.
"Time Fracture? I guess I'll just ask what happened to ourselves first." Randy chose the answer.
"I think what's happening right now is that I'm trapped inside you and I can't take your mind. But instead, you are the one who takes control of me and my powers." The demon explained.
Right now Randy and the Demon Lord were sitting cross-legged and facing each other in a dark place. The light that accompanies only an eternal candle burning between them.
"Controlling you?" Randy held his chin.
A mischievous smile was written on his face. Randy stood up and pointed at something. "He he…, the Demon King shoots at over there!" He said joking.
"Yes, Boss!"
The demon stood up and shot its arrow in the direction Randy was pointing.
BLASH!
A powerful shot made Randy's hair and clothes blow off just because of the arrow's streak.
"Ohhhh...." Randy stared at the Demon with a freeze.
"Hahaha, that's easy jobs!" The demon shrank back proudly.
But soon the demon came to his senses. "Wait, don't just give me an order, you bastard!" The demon clenched his fists at Randy.
"Sorry, just trying, bleh..." Randy stuck out his tongue.
The two of them sat back together in the darkness. There were many things Randy still didn't know.
"If you have a question, ask it!" The demon said it firmly while crossing his 4 arms.
"Then about the Time Fracture?" Randy asked nervously while scratching his cheek.
"Time Fracture is the time when everything in this life stops except Justiciar and Valkyrie."
"Justiciar and the Valkyrie, what kind of thing is that?" Randy asked confused.
"They are two factions of girls who fought during the Time Fracture. They fight for the key that was inside the monster that came out during that time. They got that magic power because they have a strong desire. Usually, that power awakens when they are got in big trouble. Their power will follow their needs when the time they are in trouble."
"Got in troubles? Girls?"
"Yes, only girls have that kind of power. Their powers can also be used in this world but I don't think they are willing to take the risk of displaying their power other than in Time Fracture."
"That's right, it will scare the people if they show it in public."
"About being in trouble when the girls can't stand their troubles. A light ball like a shooting star descends on them and becomes a necklace. The necklace serves as the main source of their magic power. If they lose the necklace, they can still use their magic but it's limited by time."
The demon explained to Randy in a different tone than before, about what was happening in this world. A world that ordinary people, especially men couldn't see.
"Oh wait, I forgot to explain Time Fracture in more detail. Time Fracture will appear every day at 6 pm. Each day the duration will increase by an hour, starting on Saturday and ending on Friday. You understand what I mean, right?"
"Why does it start on Saturday? Why not on Monday?"
The demon held his forehead with a sigh. "I remember humans always use Monday as the first day. In reality, Monday is not always the first day. If I remember 2000 years ago, there were always celebrations in my demon king's castle, starting on Thursday and ending on Wednesday."
"Is that your world who do that weird thing?!" Randy looked down at the demon.
"Nonetheless!" The demon stood up while raising his voice.
"Sit down!" Randy gave the order.
Instantly the terrible demon sat down like an obedient dog. "Yes sir!"
Even with an annoyed face, the demon still tried to explain what he knew to Randy.
"For sure, don't always use Monday as a prefix." The demon looked down while holding his head.
"Ah, you mean like today's exam?!" Randy remembered something.
"An exam? What kind of party is that?!" The demon asked in confusion.
Demons obviously don't know what an exam is. Not to mention, he has lived for more than 2000 years. How could he know such a thing?
Their conversation went on for quite a while. Randy put his hands behind his back.
"Ahhh... Hearing your words, it's obvious that I'm crazy." Randy closed his eyes because he was sleepy.
As soon as he closed his eyes he remembered something.
'Before, I want to be the leader of a running club. So I race with one female student who has the same goal as me. I race against Ira and the result is I was lost. Really, is she actually a human? At first, She was so slow, but just as both of us were about to finish. She suddenly passes me.' Ilham's words flashed through his mind.
Instantly Randy straightened his seat and looked at the demon seriously.
"No, I'm not crazy. Sir, uh Mr, or... uh... what's your name?" Randy was confused about how to call this demon.
"I'm the Demon Lord, I don't have a name!" The demon scratched his head.
"Then Dalor. That's the name I gave you!" Randy pointed at the demon with a proud expression.
"Okay."
The demon couldn't object and just obeyed Randy.
"Dalor, we're going to take a look at Time Fracture one more time!"
"Okay, but be careful. If you find a Valkyrie or Justiciar use the power of mimicry to avoid being found. With that ability, you will turn into a thorny plant like the statue of people around you." The demon conveyed a suggestion.
"Oh yeah, what's the purpose of the Valkyries and Justiciar? They can't fight aimlessly, right? What are the keys going to be?" Randy asked who was still confused.
"Justiciar collects the key to stop the Valkyries. The obtained key will be stored in their bodies. Meanwhile, the Valkyrie collects the key to get their less-than-perfect wish. If you ask why the Valkyrie is, they feel that their wish has not been fulfilled and wants to open the world file to get what they want." Dalor explained with a sigh.
"Then, what about you?" Randy added his question.
Dalor sighed and gave up.
"Actually, what they are doing is the same. That is to destroy the balance of the world and strengthen my power which is now in you, the fewer keys there are in this world. Then, the balance of the world will be broken and have an impact on the destruction of the world. The Justiciars are not aware that what they did are not helpful at all."
"So the Justiciars think they're playing the role of a hero but in the truth, they are doing the same thing as their enemy does? What an irony." Randy clutched his shoulder with goosebumps.
"Calm down, the easiest way to stop this is to kill them all! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Dalor spoke in a terrible tone.
Unfortunately Randy was not afraid to look at him with a silly look.
"Are you lying?"
"Eh?! I-I trul-
"Dalor, tell the truth!" Randy gives an order.
"Okay, you should at least take back the keys they took and scattered them all over the place as before!" Dalor immediately told the truth in a cowardly tone.
"It will be difficult to take it from them if we have to meet them face to face." Randy sighed.
"Relax, you can use my power to attack them. If you put your magical energy into their necklaces. They become like me who will do whatever you say. But be careful, just like me. They can also act as they please if you don't order them." Dalor explained in detail.
"Alright, that's enough information. I just need to get their keys, right?!" Randy patted his cheek.
"Yes, boss!"
Randy returned his vision into his room and prepared to face the Time Fracture.
