Chapter 9 - The East Tower incident - part 1

Teacher: -that was team 4, very well, the work presented was amazing, boys, grade 10. - the teacher in front of the class pronounces the grades of the classes in the science work.

Lanna: -Look at Haru. – with a smile from ear to ear. - hihihihi.

Haru: -Very good Lanna! – glad that her friend got the best grade in the class along with the other teammates.

Kakui: -to think we only got 7. - pouting.

Emma: -if I had come dressed as a carp we would have gotten 10's too. – shown one of the colleagues who got a 9 who was dressed up.

Kakui: -It even appears that I would come like this, not even dead! – turning his back on Emma.

The day of the presentation had come to an end, of all the teams that presented, the best was from Lanna, Suika and Rayaka, the lowest grade was from Haru, Emma and Kakui, who even doing their best didn't bring a copy to the festival of the carp that would take place at night near the east tower, a place that every year gathers many travelers for the festival.

Rayaka: -Want to go to the arcade later? - eating candy.

Haru: -I can't do it today, I have kendo training. – walking towards the exit while hearing whispers in the hallway.

Suika: -It's your chance, go soon. – pushed Lanna.

Lanna: -H-Haru! – running towards Haru.

Haru: -Hi Lanna. – stopping walking after being surprised by the arrival of Lanna who was red as a ripe pepper.

Lanna: -it's just that... - no way to speak.

Haru: -What happened? It's a tin. – looking at Lenna who looked away.

Rayaka: –"I'm left here" – realizing the situation. -I'll go then, see you more Haru. – holding his backpack leaning on his shoulders, where you could see figures of shields of heroes adorned its outer part.

Haru: -See you later. – looking at Rayaka who was walking away until she disappeared from sight in the exit corridor.

Lanna: -hmm, Haru... - taking something out of the backpack that was decorated with several angelic wings. -for you. – with something in his hand that looked like a letter.

Haru: -What is this? – taking the letter from her hand.

Lanna: -Don't open it yet ok? Wait for me to leave. – too embarrassed to look up.

Haru: okay...well. – finding the whole situation strange but without realizing anything.

Lanna runs to where Suika was and the two leave the school in prison while Haru was used to standing there looking at all that.

Haru: -What happened to her? – looking at the letter. - Wow, what a good smell. - opening the letter. -... - with a red face when he read what was in it.

Kakui. -What was stupid? What are you doing standing there? – punching Haru on the back. -Have you become a watchman in the hallway? – punching again. -ueee don't move.

Emma: -I think he froze... - running a hand in front of Haru's face.

Haru: -aaaaa! – realizing the situation that had happened there.

Already at Wawa's pastry shop, the three stretched out to start the daily training they were having, it had been a few days since he discovered his powers and the truth about the world, about the ogres and there was still a lot to discover.

Haru: -What do I do, what do I do? – still in shock afterwards and reads Lanna's letter.

Emma: -What else is there? You guys go out together that I see, it's just another role. – tying my hair into a ponytail.

Haru: -But this time it's different, she was weird, I don't know... with her hands on her head.

Kakui: -For me all women are strange.

Emma: -With that way, there's no one interested in yourself.

Kakui: -What did you say your four eyes? I don't see any boy behind you either.

Emma: -It's because I'm hard as well. – running his hands through his hair.

Kakui: -aahhh, it must be because it's boring like a mule. - Annoyed with Emma.

Emma: -I repeated that, you animal. – standing face to face with Kakui.

Mileyde: -Stop this noise you idiots! – opening the door of the place.

-Yes, sensei! – all stand on their legs on the floor in a straight line.

Mileyde: -Wawa needed to be out of town today, and asked me to do your training...

(Souvenir)

Wawa: -Leyde, I'm going to need to do some things outside the city today, I'm afraid how can I train the boys?

Mileyde: -What do I gain with that?

Wawa: -All my deep gratitude.

Mileyde: -It seems...

Wawa: -Okay, I'll pay you 500 yen when I get back.

Mileyde: -Now we are talking.

(now)

Haru: -What was he doing? – looking at Mileyde.

Mielyde: -I know, that guy doesn't tell me anything until he's done it. – crossing his arms.

Kakui: -I thought you were all close. - removing stubble from the nose.

Emma: -That's right, but it looks like he has another one. - Venom coming out of the corner of the mouth.

Mileyde: -stop talking nonsense and go to the back. - blushing. -Wawa, you pay me. - speaking very low.

Wawa: -atchu – wiping the nose. - It seems that someone is talking about me. – watching something in a dark and damp corner.

After spending the rest of the afternoon in training, it was time for the festival, as always the cultural district was full of people, people of all ages and regions, everything was well done and lit, the colors and kites, from afar you could see the east tower where fireworks would be fired at the end of the night.

Haru: -Damn I'm sweating cold...I've never been on a date before. – shaking like a green stick.

Emma: -relax romeo...you are not getting married today. – Emma was wearing a purple and white dress, her hair was loose and swaying in the wind.

Haru: -marry? - putting your hands on your head.

Kakui: -tsc. – looking at Emma.

Emma: -I'll start charging if you keep looking at me like that. – kind of awkward.

Kakui: -who said I'm looking! – turning his back on her.

Emma: -idiot. - She gets angry and walks away.

Kakui: -beast... - walking away.

Haru: -It's almost time...she said 8:30 on the stairs of the maid cafe. – very sweaty. -What does she want to talk to me about? – he wondered.

Emma: -look, the festival is about to start. – looking at the dancers.

Kakui: -What's good about this year? - smelling food.

Haru: -I'll go then, see you later at the fireworks display. - taking a deep breath.

Emma: -See if you don't die of anxiety.

Kakui: -or the blonde will suffer a lot.

Haru: -That doesn't reassure me at all. - starts to climb the stairs.

Suika: -wow, what tension in. – leaning against the stairwell.

Lanna: -I've never been so nervous in my life as I am now. – walking from one side to the other.

Suika: -Relax, Lanna, what can go wrong. – wearing a blue dress with yellow details.

Lanna: what can? If he… – Lanna looked stunning, wearing a yellow dress with white, hair tied back, wearing a little makeup.

Suika: -There's no way, silly. – holding Lanna's hands. -it's gonna be okay.

Haru: -Rayaka? – seeing him standing on the stairs.

Rayaka: -Haru! All right bro? – looking at Haru.

Haru: -Yes... what are you doing here? I thought you didn't like crowded places like this.

Rayaka: -Yes, but my mother told me to go out, it would help me socialize better and make new friends, she was very happy with the 10 I received in my science work.

Haru: -ah, that's it, good luck then. – looking at him all locked in that situation.

Rayaka: -Thank you. – smiling strangely.

Haru: -... -

The festival begins, the crowd gathers close to the dancers' performance, soon the time set by Lanna in the letter would arrive and Haru would go up the stairs watching the people and the movement, up there Suika sees Haru approaching and leaves Lanna alone , but Lanna was delighted with the festival and didn't notice what was happening on the other side, only those 3 saw what had arrived in the tower.

Haru: -That energy. - Stopping up the stairs.

Kakui: -It can only be one thing. – with a dango in the mouth.

Emma: -Ogres are here. – looking at the tower.

-It seems that well brought us to a very busy place.

-look at how much meat, but without almost any hokoshin.

-except for those 3... - Seeing three hokoshin focuses approaching the tower.

Haru: -You also noticed right. – arriving at the foot of the tower.

Kakui: -I couldn't help but notice. - taking the shinai.

Emma: -All this energy...it's a very high level. - taking a deep breath.

-3 Dan level Kenshins, who knew there was such a thing in this shitty little town. – sitting on a central pillar.

-Which one of you killed Chesses? – jumping on the pillar to the left.

Haru: -The ogre from before? - feeling a pang in the heart.

-Let's not be shy, we don't bite... a lot. – anchored to the right pillar.

Kakui: -Damn...that appearance.

Emma: -they are... onis.

3 demon level ogres appear in the city, the one on the central pillar is almost 2 meters, is the biggest of them, wears orange clothes with black traits, his face has 4 eyes, his hair is silver, teeth in the form of saw, claws sharp, the one on the left has feminine features, brown hair, pale skin, big green eyes, blood red lips, reptile scales spread across its legs, the one on the right and the smallest of them, has three eyes, one of them on the forehead , gray skin, and close-cropped hair, blue eyes and sharp teeth, its claws are like spears.

Kakui: -They came to take revenge? – calling his real shinai.

-Revenge? – Laughing out loud as he jumped out of the tower.

-We have no interest in avenging an idiot who died for children. – jumping from above.

-we came was to devour every soul in this place, and thus gather hokoshin the covers! – jumping forward.

The ogres were divided between the three of them, each one was fighting a well-trained oni as they had never seen before, they would go by approving everything they had learned in these last few weeks, if training with their new sensei had been worth it was at stake.

Haru: -real shinai! - Leaving on top of the ogre that was coming towards him.

Emma: -real shinai! – jumping to the uncovered side.

-look...go ahead!

In the midst of the festival the fight would be fought right there, a confrontation that was just beginning would involve a whole change of scenery never seen before, it was time for the world to know.

-Blood technique: deadly trail! – firing red-colored blows at Haru. - just feel it!

Haru: -sound kamae: -echo boost! - Deflecting the blows that came in his direction.

Emma: -Black Widow's Kamae: -Surface Corrosion! – using ranged strikes against the scaled ogre.

-Blood Technique: -Scaly Skin! – creating a shield of scales that repel emma's blows. -dangerous girl.

-Blood Technique: Spinning Claws! - from his fingers come out claws in the form of spears that cross the field in the direction of kakui who jumps and immediately uses his ability.

Kakui: - Salamander's Kamae: -Fiery Salamander! – slashing the claws in the air and then immediately striking flaming blows against the oni.

On the other side of the tower, near where the fireworks were being placed, something catches someone's attention.

Mileyde: -I knew that all this restlessness was not for nothing. – looking at a being devouring a person while he was with several others scattered around the place.

- You caught me... - Wiping the blood from his mouth.

Mileyde: Get away from that body, damn ogre.

-How long, Meilyde Garden.

Mileyde: -You? - is irritated by what to see. -real shinai! – taking the shinai to go for the ogre. -kamae of photosynthesis: -proteins of light! – absorbing light from plants. -beams of light! – creating several triangles together forming a cube of light.

-that blow always. – protecting the horn. – blood technique: - innate repulsion!

The blow hits Mileyde's belly and she is thrown against iron bars in front of the tower.

-How weak is this... is it over yet?

Mileyde: -Damn... - Feeling two broken ribs. -It just started, Over...

Over: -aahahhaha! – licking the wound that opened on his face after being hit by Mileyde's rays of light.

In the other battle, things weren't better, the oni were putting the 3 to sweat.

Haru: -kamae do som: sonic cut!

-you have sound techniques like that old man...damn. - dodging the blow. -Are you a maru by any chance?

-stop talking nonsense Yugashi, they can't be one.

Yugashi: -I'm saying Ganyu, he has his eyes, that damn look.

-Yugashi is right, this skill is the same as that old man, it can't be just coincidence.

Ganyu: -Whatever, we can't back down, the plan is already underway, let's kill those annoying kenshins soon, right Beise, or do you want to feel the wrath of that ogre?

Beise: -Alright then, let's fight seriously now.

Kakui: It was already hard to keep up before, now then. – with blood coming out of a cut on his forehead.

Emma: -We have to be careful, they are very strong. - panting as he tries to get a drop of blood from his glasses.

Haru: -Let's fight in order to avoid major damage, people still haven't noticed this mess here, we have to protect them at all costs.

-right! – the others agree.

The battle was fought with everything they could, blow after blow, cut after cut, everything was heading for a tragedy, even for the veteran it was complicated.

Mileyde: -What did you come here to do? - feeling pain in the stomach region.

Over: -recovers from my name, princess, who knew.

Over is a high level oni, unlike the other 3 that were there, his appearance was that of an ordinary human, what set him apart was his horn on his forehead, black eyes and very pale skin.

Mileyde: -beams of light! – with several sunflowers by the arms indicating that the blows were stronger.

Over: -Annoying woman, innate deviance! – irritated by her quick blows. -no patience as usual, what? - Feeling a flash of her back. -aaaaaaaa! – being hit by a ray of light.

Mileyde: -I can't relax, not with you. – staring at the oni.

Over: -hahha, how I missed that. – joining hands, blood technique: impure!

Mileyde: -I won't let you! Kamae: Reverse Light Cut! – shooting a blast of light against the ogre that was evaporating gases and his body.

Over: -It's no use! – grabbing Mileyde's arm before she could deliver another blow.

Mileyde: -No...

The smoke that was there is dismissed revealing a new form of the oni, he was less human and more ogre, his horn was bigger, his skin was green, his teeth were out, he had huge claws and bigger eyes, in his arms, balls black were glued to them.

Over: -It's been a while since I used this form...since that day against the old maru...consider yourself unlucky, second-rate kenshi.

Mileyde: -Let me go! – using the shinai to cut the Oni's arm which is soon regenerated.

Over: -The night is just beginning. – spitting a yellow egg with red stripes out of his mouth.

Mileyde: -Damn...Wawa! – holding the shinai tightly after seeing it coming out of the ogre.

Wawa: -atchu... - scratching his nose. -It seems I caught a cold, I'm glad I'm returning home. – looking out of the bus.
