Chapter 33 - Chapter 33

Majin sat on a plane of red grass, gazing at the view as a gentle breeze blew. Twelve minutes earlier, Majin was walking near the gate of the kominka when he encountered two bald men. He asked them, "Oh, where is Sir Bakujin?" with a serious expression. The two bald men replied, "Lord Bakujin, he's asleep." Majin's face showed signs of annoyance as he thought to himself, "Well, of course that bastard is going to sleep. Just like last time, he fell asleep for an entire eight months. He's a sleepy brain guy."

Twelve minutes later, as Majin continued to gaze, an old man approached him and started waving. The old man asked, "Can I sit with you, Sir Majin?" Majin replied, "Sure." The old man nodded in gratitude and sat down next to Majin, getting a little too close for Majin's comfort. As the wind blew, it gently tousled their hair in a pleasing manner.

The old man turned to Majin and asked, "What is on your mind?" Majin fell into a momentary silence before turning around and responding, "Something that I am in control of. I want to claim the Lance, and I will do it in just a month. I will take over and fill any world with my endless shadows." The old man's eyes widened, and he whispered, "Such weird intense wisdom and a love for power." He then turned away, his eyes returning to normal, and remarked, "If you were to tame such power, how could you ever find a worthy opponent? I mean, possessing the Lance you speak of could bring nothing but eternal boredom."

Majin smirked, standing up, and replied, "Nah, that would be of no concern to me. I don't care about what I feel. All I want is to exercise my free willpower and shape this world according to my own story." He began walking away, ignoring the old man who was taken aback. The old man struggled to get up onto his knees and exclaimed, "Wait! So you're saying that if you achieve this power, you will do anything and mold the world as you wish. It would be a corrupt disaster. No human, no demon, no monster, no spirit, no god, or anything could stop it!"

Majin's face displayed a complex smirk as he continued to walk, paying no mind to the old man. The old man desperately called out, "Hey!" but Majin's thoughts echoed, "Of course, an old man like you is just an old tale."

As Majin started to walk away, the old man got up, lifted his katana, and said, "I said stop!" However, Majin didn't listen and continued on his way. This angered the old man, who began running towards Majin, attempting to strike him down with his katana. But Majin swiftly turned around, effortlessly grabbing the katana with two fingers on his right hand and said, "Don't try to fight me. It would be pointless and foolish to do so."

The old man, however, didn't care and persisted in lifting his sword, but in doing so, he accidentally hit his own head with the blade, causing it to bleed. Confused, the old man uttered, "What just happened?"

Majin responded nonchalantly, "You just cut yourself... that was cringe." The old man was puzzled by the word "cringe" as Majin simply walked away. The old man attempted to remove his katana, but as he tried to do so, his torso down to his hips suddenly split apart, completely slicing his body. Not knowing what had just happened, the old man was instantly killed. What caused his demise? It was Majin's own presence that brought it about.

Majin continued walking, gazing up at the sky and remarking, "The planet is pretty giant, such a great creation, Bakujin..." Unbeknownst to him, a female ninja wearing ninja armor and wielding a Dragon Ninjatō approached. She noticed the lifeless body of the old man and let out a scream, calling out, "Lord Ryota!!!!!!" Filled with anger, the woman ninja turned towards Majin, pointing her weapon at him and declared, "I don't care who you are, but you dare not ignore me after what you did to Lord Ryota!"

Majin continued walking, seemingly unbothered, and whispered to himself, "Who the hell is Lord Ryota?" The woman ninja appeared behind Majin and whispered, "Don't you ever ignore me!" She attempted to strike Majin's head with her Dragon Ninjatō, but to her surprise, the blade broke easily, having no effect on Majin. Undeterred, she continued her assault, repeatedly kicking him in the stomach, creating huge dents in the ground. However, Majin grew annoyed by her persistence and grabbed her foot, halting her attacks. He then delivered a powerful palm strike to her stomach, causing her to cough up blood and fall to the ground, unconscious.

Looking down at her, Majin muttered, "I was planning on killing you, but never mind, I guess..." He resumed his walk, seemingly unfazed. In the background, a shooting star collided with a star cluster, catching Majin's attention. He turned around with a surprised expression and asked, "What was that?"

Patora began running, even though the rain had stopped just five minutes ago. As she ran, she noticed a group of students and more people in the streets, with onlookers in cars, all looking concerned and asking, "What's going on?" Patora started to wonder and whispered to herself, "What the hell could have happened? Did school just get delayed or something?"

She approached a group of students and asked them, "What happened?" The students stopped and replied, "Don't mind the situation, just keep running..." They resumed their run, but one student recognized Patora and urged her, "Run with us." However, Patora was confused and shook her head, indicating her refusal. She replied, "No, it's fine. I'd rather investigate!"

The student who recognized Patora insisted, "Fine then, but don't let death reach your eyes..." Patora nodded in response and whispered to herself, "I don't care because I'm strong!"
