Chapter 5 - <Prologue> The End For A New Beginning Part 2/3

"Masayoshi!" I called for Masayoshi and he rushed in first towards the monster who is now more vigilant.

*TAP*

With a tap of it's staff it spawned three of the monster that was the same as before.

"Be careful they are extremely strong!" I warned all of them. There are three of them now. One of them held a bow while the two others held a sword and shield.

"Masayoshi and Tori-san! Deal with the small ones, I'll stall the big one!" I shouted at them once again.

"Okay!"

"Confirmed.." I heard both of their confirmation and ran straight towards the main one ignoring and dodging every attacks from the small spawns.

"Hah!" I kicked the monster back and used it's strong and tall body to my advantage and used my martial arts technique to locked it's hands with it's own force and threw it to the ground.

"You.. are.. the.. one..!" I suddenly heard the monster talked..!

"What do you mean by that?!" I was confused but I didn't stop. Before it could stood up I axe kicked it on the neck to kept it on the ground.

"You.. are.. the.. one..!" It repeated itself once again but I still didn't understood what it meant!

"Genji! A little help?" Suddenly Masayoshi appeared right besides me..

"Freezing Touch!" He tried to freeze the monster but it is not that easy..

*SCREEEEECHH!*

It swung it's staff hard enough to knock both of us back and hit the wall..

"Argh..!" The force almost breaks my back but I am fine..

"Masayoshi! Are you alright?" But Masayoshi's physical strength and durability is not as high as mine.. so he is probably not.. fine.

"I'm fine!" He shouted back and I only nodded in relief. I didn't waste any time and went back into offensive while Tori-san supported me with her precise shooting..

It had been a while since we started fighting it.. I had not seen Fuuji-san since then.. he is probably busy setting up the traps for killing this monster.. but it seems like our time of fighting needs to be over..

"It's done!" Fuuji-san suddenly showed up and threw something round towards the monster.

"Look away!" He said and I immediately looked the opposite way as I think.. it's a flash!

*EXPLODE* *FLASH*

"Shit! It's bright!" I complained while squinting my eyes to not blind myself.

"The traps are done..!" Fuuji-san reported to me while pointing to where the traps are. Based on where he pointed at, the traps are in the teachers office..

"Masayoshi!" I called out to Masayoshi once again and he responded with an 'Okay!'. So this is our time to lure it there.. either forcefully or relentlessly.

"Thanks, Fuuji-san!" I thanked him right before the effect of the flashbang dissipated.

*KICK* *PUNCH*

Both me and Masayoshi immediately rushed in once again. I sweeped it's footing causing it to almost fall to the ground but it started to levitate.

"Quantum.. Call.." I could hear the monster said before multiple weird purple cubes appeared behind the monster..

"Everyone..! Dodge that!" I heard Hatsumi-san shouted and immediately ran the opposite way carrying both Masayoshi and Fuuji-san with my hand.

"Wha-?!

"Genji?!"

I ignored their confusion and threw them away of the vicinity and immediately moved around unpredictably to avoid it's attack.. The monster waved it's staff and the cube started moving and chasing after me..!

"Tsk..! It's a guided attack!" I clicked my tongue in frustration and keep on running around trying to make them either collide with each other or collide with the surroundings.. but the monster is very intelligent..

"Tsk! Masayoshi! Tori-san! Distract it for a while!" I shouted before increasing my speed even more to becoming even faster invisible to the naked eye..

"Freezing Touch!" I heard Masayoshi rushing in to attack the monster but it dodges quite easily while Tori-san's shot didn't damage it quite enough.

"Tsk..!" I need to use that..! I didn't really wants to show this to anyone but this is one thing that I learned that looks like magic..

"[Flash Arts: Lightning Kick]..!" A technique I made by fully utilising my physical attributes to the max level..

*CRACKLE* *FLASH*

I moved so fast that lightning flashes from the ground below me. It flashed brightly as I moved faster than the speed that anyone could foresaw..

*KICK*

I kicked the monster one time and it set it eyes on me like it was reading my soul..

"I am not done.." I may not have any special abilities like them.. But this technique relied on my continuity and strength..

*KICK* *KICK* *KICK*

I continued to move faster and faster while increasing the rate of my attack until I looked like a crackle of lightning in their eyes..

*SCREEEEECH!*

Suddenly the monster releases a screech which creates enough shockwave to push me back.

"Tsk, it didn't get much damage.." But the monster's toughness was way more than I imagined..

"Genji! Are you alright? This monster is tough!" Masayoshi said while I am eyeing the monster's steaming body..

"I think I could lure in the monster towards the trap. But I need your full cooperation.." I said to Masayoshi while not looking at him at all.

"Okay.. but why are you saying it like that..?" He seemed to notice it weird.. as expected of him.

"It's nothing.. let's focus on this for now..!" I said as I got ready to release another technique that I made for my martial arts training..

"[Iron Body]!" With this technique I flexed my dense muscle to increase my durability and strength by a notch. But this also exhausts my body by a lot so I could only use this technique for 15 seconds..

"Hngh!" I ran towards the monster who was seemingly unmoving and wrapped my arms around it's body..

"HA!" Then I threw it as hard as I could towards the trap that Fuuji-san prepared.. but it is not that easy..

*TAP* *TAP*

"GENJI!" I heard the scream of Masayoshi before I saw the moving headless monster with only tentacles and sharp teeth towards me..

"Tsk..!" I can't completely dodge it and as a result..

"ARGH..!" I looked down and see that the tentacle had lodged onto my stomach and not even one second later, I felt it pulling me towards the monster who was already in the trap room..

"SHIT! RU-!" Before I could finish my sentence I was pulled hard and flew to inside of the room trapping both me and the monster inside..

"Tsk.. you are one persistent fuc- Kuagh!" I couldn't even taunt my enemy anymore as I coughed up more blood staining the ground in red..

"This.. is.. the.. end.. traitor..!" The monster said with voice that sound hateful..

"What.. do you.. mean.. by that..?!" I do not know what they mean.. I do not know what they thought of me.. a traitor..? I never betrayed anyone.. I have no one to betray..

"You.. cowardly.. traitor..!" Why..? Why does even the monsters hate me..? What do I deserve to be hated by this world..?

"*Cough* *Cough* I do not.. know what you think of me.. but I never ever knew you.." The image of Shihori flashes through my mind.. her smile.. her laugh.. her cries..

"I have seen.. all hate.." I already promised to never leave her.. but I think I will break that promise today..

"If.. you.. want.. to kill me.. you need.. to try HARDER!" I said as I stood up preparing for the last thing I will say..

"MASAYOSHI! FUUJI! TRIGGER THE DAMN TRAP! TAKE CARE OF SHIHORI.. MASAYOSHIIII!!" I shouted as loud as I could so they could hear it..

"I will never.. surrender..!" I quickly flashed forward right to the face of the monster..

"And if.. I must.. die..! I will bring.. you to.. hell with me..!" I held the neck of the monster and twisted it with such a force it would break a normal person's neck. But this is no normal person..

*TSSSSS~*

'Ah.. so this is his trap..' I take a look around the room and see the same runes drawn on the walls and even the floor..

"It seems that you are prepared to die.. eh?" I said as I looked at the unmoving monster that I was holding..

"I.. had.. fulfilled.. promise.. no more.. purpose.." It said emotionlessly.

"I.. see.." I released the monster from my hold and sat down right next to it waiting for our impending doom.. it seems like the goal of the monster is to kill me..

"*sigh* *cough* *cough*.. Shihori.. be.. well..!"

*FLASH*...

*BANG!!*
