Faced with the horrible scene he was witnessing, Keijo remained open-mouthed without even being able to shed a tear; he was paralyzed by what had become of his best friend!
Chigau (Emomonster): Keiiiijooo! Let me take you with me! We have to stay together!
Keijo: Needless to say, the truth is that my life is hell. I know it, they all know it, I'm cursed!
Chigau (Emomonster): I'm sorry Keijoooo, but I have to kill you!
Keijo: (Surprised!) What?
Chigau completely transformed into an Emomonster no longer follows anything but his instinctive voice and throws himself on Keijo who he gives a great blow with the back of his large hand. Keijo receives the blow fully and sees himself thrown on buildings of the The din caused by the Emomoster alerts everyone on the premises who run to their heels in total panic!
Keijo: (Rising up, bleeding from the forehead!) Shit! He hits him hard! What is his hand made of? I can't stay here, I have to get out and quickly!
Chigau (Emomonster): Are you planning to escape Keiiijo? Do you think I'll let you do it! I'm going to kill you and them too then, it will be the turn of the whole of Japan and I will finally be able to pass my admission to Tensaiiiii!
Keijo: (Who's running to escape the Emonster!) What's he talking about? What he said makes no sense! Why does he say that by killing us he will pass his exam? What does it mean ?
Keijo is cut off from his thoughts when the Emomonster suddenly appears to his right as he runs and kicks him, knocking him into another wall in the plaza, causing the people in the area to panic that some peed on themselves, not having the courage to move.
Keijo: (Leaning against the wall, badly hurt in the head and bleeding continuously!)…So, am I going to die here? Is that how I'm going to end then?
The Emomonster lands in front of Keijo!
Chigau (Emomonster): You make me laugh Keiiijooooo! I'm going to kill you and I can pass my exaaaaammmm!
While aware of the posture he is in, Keijo still bursts into laughter!
Keijo: (Laughing out loud!) I pity you slimy monster!
Chigau (Emonster): Are you calling me monster Keijooooo ?
Keijo: At least I'm happy about one thing.
Chigau (Emomonster): Huuuuuh?
Keijo: It's that Chigau is no longer alive to see the calamity that replaced his body!
With an acrobatic spin and despite his head injury, Keijo manages to kick the Emomonster's upper right eye and destroy it, then goes to hide behind a building taking advantage of the pain and the Emomonster's eye regeneration time.
Keijo: (gasping!) I don't know how I'm going to do this. There are a lot of people here and they are all innocent. It is me that this monster wants to kill; although I really don't know why. If I stay here and he ends up killing me, all those people will die too. What do I do now ? How can I do ? What do Geniuses do? It's time to reapply! I will not be able to…
A huge 7 second scream from the Emomonster towards the building where Keijo was hiding completely destroys it and leaves Keijo exposed, totally surprised by the loudness of the scream emitted by the Emomonster.
Keijo: (With hands to ears!) Wh...is that just his cry?
Keijo turns his head and sees the bodies of everyone present at the scene except for him, lifeless with their pupils fully shattered!
Keijo: (Holding his hands to his ears, looking horrified at the sight he sees!) They...they...are they all dead?
Chigau (Emomonster): Keiiijoooo! Now you are going to die you and allow me to pass my exaaaaammmm!
The Emomonster opens its mouth wide and rushes at Keijo who had closed his eyes in fear when…
??? : Local Reverse!
The stranger who had just arrived wearing a black T-shirt and kappa jogging pants of the same color managed to swap places with that of the Biting Emomonster in a building a little further from them instead of Keijo!
Keijo: (Who slowly opens his eyes and sees the stranger who saved his life!) Who...who are you?
??? : A profiteer.
Keijo: A profiteer? What does it mean ?
??? : It's not your problem. If you can still be standing, it's already a grace; so get the hell out of here quickly if you don't want to die in the end.
Keijo: Huh? I can't leave like this, until proven otherwise, it was my friend's negative emotions that gave rise to this... so I have to stay to see what will happen to him afterwards.
??? : You're heavy, you know that? Look at the bodies of the people who fell victim to his shrill cry.
Keijo: (Who's looking at the dead innocent bodies!)…!?
??? : Did you count them? I guess not, right? This is exactly how someone else will pass by and see your lifeless body, but they won't care because it's a human principle, when you're dead, you're dead . No matter how much we move heaven and earth, nothing will change. I know it's by no means easy, but your friend died the moment he mixed too many negative emotions.
Keijo: (Sad!)…!?
The Emomonster gets up and rushes at Keijo and the unknown teenager who saved his life!
??? : He is coming !
Keijo: Huh!?
The Emonster tries for the first time to reach Keijo and the stranger who haven't moved an inch from his lower right arm, but the latter explodes before he even reaches his targets.
Chigau (Emomonster): (Grumbling in pain!) You're going to paaaay me the damn Geniiiiuuuus!!!
The Emomonster takes a deep breath to release his vocal cords and let out his destructive scream again; but just as he is about to release the compressed air, the white-haired teenager appears in front of him with superhuman speed. and stops his mouth with his left hand, squeezes it so hard that the Emomonster can't open it anymore and the compressed air in his body explodes blasting his entire lower body. next to Keijo as he was lost and shocked.
Keijo: (Surprised!) Co…How did you do that? You are a genius, right? These humans with superhuman intellectual abilities?
??? : (Who puts their hands in their pockets!) I told you when I arrived, I am a profiteer.
Keijo: Huh?
??? : The Geniusess work for the State, they are the ones who created Tensai. I prefer to work alone. I kill these crap to make money, it's 3000 Yen for an unconscious and purely instinctive Emomomonster and 6000 Yen for those who have intelligence, since it's not necessarily all men with supra-intellectual faculties who have accepted to work for the State. Don't think I saved your life, I didn't mean to. I only came to...
The boy who had just beaten the Emomonster that had become Chigau finds himself pierced through the stomach from the back by the fingernail of the Emomonster he was supposed to have killed from behind.
Keijo: (Surprised!) What?
??? : (Bleeding from the mouth and hole in the stomach!) Shiiiiit! How come he's still alive? I was however convinced that the compressed air would have destroyed his heart at the same time as his lower organs; unless he protected them!?…he regenerates very quickly; he's not an Emomonster like the others, he has intelligence.
Chigau (Emomonster): You'll paaaay me! I will destroy you and pass my exam!
The Emomonster lifts the young boy with his fingernail and throws him on the ground floor of a building and the latter descends towards the ground at incredible speed but still lands gently and leans directly against the building, unable to lift a finger.
??? : (Bleeding everywhere!) Shiiiiit! If I hadn't remembered to wrap my body in my IQ the moment it stabbed me to limit the damage, I would have died that very moment…the IQ units added to my body made me heavier, therefore, slower in space. I avoided the shock on this building only because of that...I spent a lot of IQ, making the local inversion work is impossible now...it will devour me!?
As the Emomonster approached the black-clad Genius, Keijo jumped on to the Emomonster's back and tried to reach for its head. Realizing there was an alien presence on him and not being able to reach him because his upper arms were short and his lower ones were far too long to move normally, the Emomoster started to hit his body all over and ended up throwing Keijo who fell on the ground, but got up quickly after a roll fast.
Keijo: How are you? Aren't you hurt?
??? : (Panting!) But… what the hell are you doing? You are no match! You are not a genius!
Keijo runs towards the Emonster again, but gets kicked off again. Despite this, Keijo doesn't intend to give up and gets back up again!
Keijo: (gasping!) Don't worry, I know all that! I know that today's society relies only on people with high IQs; I know that failures like me deserve all the misfortune that happens to them; I know that throwing myself on this monster is the craziest thing of my life, certainly my last action before giving up the ghost; but if I don't do anything to stop this thing, you will die and I wouldn't have brought rest to Chigau's soul, I want to at least do that for him, yes, just that!
??? : (Surprised !)…!?
Keijo launches himself again on the Emomonster and when the latter is about to strike him with his large lower right hand, Keijo manages to dodge it by lowering the whole upper part of his body, but his feet remained well on the ground, without anything moving!
??? : (Bewildered!) Incredible! He managed to lower his upper body without having to move his feet! Is this what I'm thinking? No ! Impossible ! His IQ does not allow him to have an Intellect! So what is it ? What is this strange energy that emanates from him?
Chigau (Emomonster): (Angry grunts!) You'll aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
??? : Huh? Attention !
The Emomonster comes back with the punch that went over Keijo who was like lying on the air and tries to hit it on Keijo, but the latter does a flip backwards and jumps with his formed right fist in order to reach the Emomonster!
Keijo: I have to do this...I have to do this for him at least!
??? : (Looking intently at Keijo, face showing utter surprise!) This guy doesn't have an impressive IQ! In principle, he should already be dead because of this Emomonster; but no, he is still alive! The figures he performs prove that he is a good sportsman, he has sport in his blood, but is that enough? No, there is something else that escapes me and that I cannot define! He was able to dodge the Emomonster's second blow and he used the pressure that this blow exerted on the ground to launch himself more easily in the air! Basically, he didn't leave the ground for the air, but a vacuum for the air because the blow of the monster created a shock wave which lifted a lot of objects around including him...this guy, this is the greatest mystery I have ever had to encounter!
Keijo was moving towards the Emomonster's chest with his formed right fist, and at the same time, the giant monster is also trying to get him with a swipe of his large lower left hand!
??? : (out loud!) Huh? BE CAREFUL !
The Emomonster's kick was hurtling down Keijo's right profile, but just as the monster's large left hand was about to get it, Keijo performed a flip through the air that propelled him a few inches higher than the hand. of the Emomonster; and when he comes back down, he leaned on the hand that had stopped dead below him to continue his way towards the Emomonster's chest!
??? : (Dumbfounded!) I can't believe it! He did a flip in the air, without leaning on anything! Of course, it's not the first time I've seen someone move through the air, but it's the first time a non-Genius has done it in front of me! If it's not his IQ that powers him, then what does?
Keijo continues on his way to the Emomonster's chest by means of the air and on the way finds himself invaded by memories!
Keijo: I've never been anything but good for nothing. I never used much. In fact, I was not even worth the nickname of the useless because this word has all its meaning, which makes it useful. If you hadn't been there, with me, I would never have arrived where I am; I spent my time relying on you and I made no effort, you did everything so that I did not sink after the death of my mother. You have always been able to watch over me even though I am your eldest… What a paradox! You were constantly behind me, on top of me, in front of me like the majestic sun in the sky…yes Chigau, you were my sun. So, just this once, I ask you, I implore you to… LET ME BE YOUR SUN TOO FOR ONCE!
??? : (Surprised!) Huh?
Keijo finally comes face to face with the Emomonster's chest and is about to slam his right fist into his chest, precisely where his heart is, when a large billboard on the scene announces that it's midnight!
??? : (Who looks at the billboard and sees the time!) It's not possible! Midnight ? How come ? I arrived it was 10:04 p.m. and since my arrival, I haven't been here for thirty minutes yet! What's going on there?
Keijo: October 4th...? Already ? In short, it doesn't matter! You know what that means don't you?
Chigau (Emomonster): (Grumbling!) Keiiiiijoooo don't doooo it!
Keijo: My birthday is over; and yours can begin!
Keijo strikes the Emomonster in the heart with his right fist while holding his breath; the Emomonster then begins to swell as if water has been put inside it and explodes into several mini pieces that fall on the ground and began to disappear in vapor!
??? : (Jellyfish !)…!?
Keijo: Happy Birthday Chigau!
Keijo sits up and manages to keep his balance despite waddling in place. Then, he returns to the young white-haired teenager who was still leaning against a building and badly injured!
Keijo: (Holding out his hand to the ailing Genius!) Come on, let's go!
??? : What's your name ?
Keijo: (Who tries to smile and hide his sadness!) Call me Keijo!
??? : Call me Hari! That was good work Keijo!
Keijo: (Smiling!) You see you can be nice anytime you want, can't you?
Hari: Shut the fuck up! Are you sure it's gonna be okay? I mean for your friend!?
Keijo: Ah...don't worry about me; If I had to die because life is very hard on me, I would have died a long time ago, believe me!
While the two teenagers were chatting a bit, a mysterious man dressed in a black-colored tailored suit with a black shirt inside, neatly groomed black-colored hair with optical glasses made entirely of glass resting on his nose and a black umbrella in the right hand appears near the young boys who had just made their presentations!
??? : Congratulation !
Hari: (Surprised!) Huh?
Keijo: (Amazed!) What?
??? : (Smiles!) You are both admitted!
TO BE CONTINUED !
