Chereads / Psychic Hunter: Shiro / Chapter 28 - August Massacre

Chapter 28 - August Massacre

11:30 am august 3rd 2018

The school was eerily quiet and the atmosphere felt rather dark and compelling. The skies that day were cloudy but not many people noticed nor cared.

All the students that day were minding their own business, not even noticing the absence of the one they all bullied.

Goro and Akihiko were both in the P.E hall playing volley ball with the rest of the students, however being the delinquent's that they are, eventually refused to continue playing. The teacher not wanting to waste effort on the two, ignored them.

Goro sighed as he said, "Where did that bitch boy, Akira run off too? My mom stopped giving me pocket money, so I need his for lunch."

"Aren't we gonna stop messing with him? He's getting boring now, I wanna do it to someone else."

Goro chuckled, "We can't stop now, especially when he has no one left to bitch too. His Mom is dead after all... But per chance that he did kill himself..."

Goro pointed his finger at one of the random students playing dodgeball. He had brown hair in a bowl cut, with heavily nerdy glasses.

"He's an obvious target, let's do him next!"

He was about to call out to him, but the doors to the P.E hall suddenly slammed open, gathering everyone's attention. A dark chill flooded the room which caused them all to shiver not from the cold, but from fear of what was coming to them.

In this world there a those who are weak, and those who are strong. The strong make use of the weak, while the weak desperately try to gain the favour of the strong, and in turn become strong themselves.

In this moment, those two kinds of people witnessed the one who left that world behind. The one who had transcended that world and has become demon of revenge.

Akira Hayashi, the resentful.

No one could utter a word as the amount of unexplainable fear they felt overcame them. It was almost as if they were no longer staring at just one man, but hundreds of demons instead.

Despite seeing the boy they once mocked together, standing before them once again, Akihiko and Goro felt unexplainable danger. Unfortunately for Goro, his fat ego got in the way of his survival instincts, and instead of backing away, he tried to confront Akihiko.

Goro slowly started approaching him, with every step feeling like a weight was being added onto him, but it was too late to go back now. If he did, then he would be a wuss.

"Well well well, where the hell have you been? You really had me worried ya know? Other wise where would I get my money now!"

He quickly tried to throw a playful punch towards Akira, only for his arm to be severed by a mysterious force, and flung away.

He backed away and fell onto the floor screaming as blood poured out of his open wound. Akira just looked at him with disgust, while all the other students didn't even dare to scream.

Despite how injured he was, his sheer grit made him cuss out Akira.

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU BASTARD?? I'LL-"

Unlike before, Goro noticed the thing that severed his arm. It was long and black almost as if it was an extension of Akira's shadow. It extended out from the floor, and quickly impaled him in the forehead before retreating.

Goro's head fell back, as a puddle of blood began to leak out from his body, visible for all to see.

The fear that over took them before, finally disappeared as they realized what kind of danger they were in. Some students hurriedly tried to leave using the fire escape, while others quickly ran past Akira into the darkness of the school.

Akihiko on the other-hand, got onto his knees and started begging on the floor,

"Look, i'm sorry man. He pressured me to do it! If I didn't do it with him, then he would've bullied me instead! I really didn't mean to do that to your mot-"

Before he could even finish, his decapitated head suddenly rolled onto the floor. The rest of his now headless body fell, as a puddle of his blood made its way to Akira's shoes.

"I have no words for scum like you. May you spend the rest of your days suffering in the afterlife. If one even exists for you pieces of trash anyway."

Akira left the the P.E hall, abandoning the two corpses behind. Once he entered that familiar hallway, he saw that the entire place was drenched in blood, gore and corpses.

They all belonged to the students which had escaped P.E after Akira came in. It seemed as if they were killed by something, which Akira left behind as a measure in case they all escaped. It's likely the same happened to the students who escaped using the fire exit.

Akira continued to walk through the school, reminiscing about his bullied days. He visited all the spots where he was beaten, only to see them covered with the dead bodies of multiple students.

Every student, every teacher, every child even, all killed. All those who attended the school were massacred into a bloody mess, leaving no life left untouched.

Akira didn't have a hint of pity for all those that were killed. They all knew his suffering, but no one banded together to help him.

Even after all this blood shed, there was still one person left that he needed to kill. The catalyst for this mass culling. The one who lit the fuse, and sparked the cause of his mothers death.

He walked to the schools gate, and was surprised to see that person waiting for him. But he was glad nonetheless, his revenge was coming to an end.

Shiro looked at him, shell shocked at what he'd done. He tried to sense the presence of anyone in the school, but alarmingly they were all dead. 

"Do you understand what you've done??? Do you how many people you've killed???? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LIVES YOU'VE RIPPED AWAY???"

Akihiko without a hint of emotion, blatantly said, "600 students. And I don't regret killing a single one of them."

Shiro started to emit an uncontainable amount of psychic power which damaged the floor he stood on. Remembering Yukiko who was killed by a psychic power user, his rage boiled.

"I WON'T EVER FORGIVE YOU!"

Akihiko smiled as he laughed at Shiro,

"IT'S THE SAME FOR ME TOO! LET'S BURN THIS WORLD TOGETHER!"
