Talking about all this stuff is hurting my head, probably because it doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. That guy is talking about awakening power within me and these strange prophet things!!
He called me a prophet but didn't he also say that they are basically extinct?
"I'll awaken his power. He's got to learn how to fight too I bet." She says before laughing.
Makes me feel bad that I didn't take any sort of martial arts while I was back in school since I don't know a damn thing about fighting. It probably would've helped me out more if I did.
"I don't exactly know what to do here but my grandpa is going to be quite worried if I just disappear." Nori chimes in while scratching his head with his free hand.
I can't really tell what that guys thinking since he's got a helmet on that covers his face but I'm sure he'll have some sort of answer for me. They wouldn't just take me away from my grandpa since he's an old man who definitely worries too much the way it is.
"I'll notify him that you got a job with us and will be very busy. There's nothing to worry about, I'll assure him." Aki speaks with a serious tone.
That's it, I'm going to die here. These people are probably going to take me somewhere and kill me. They probably told me all this just to make me feel like I was doing something noble but in reality I'm going to die.
Drag. Drag. Rika begins to drag Nori away from Aki as they begin to reach yet another portal that appears within the room.
"No no no! Not again!" Nori shouts as they go through the portal.
Everything changed around him once again as he notices that they appear in a dojo like place. It was very well put together and no one else appeared to be here.
"Where exactly did you take me this time?" Nori asks while glancing around.
This was definitely a dojo of some sort but I didn't see anyone else here so who was going to train me? Wait why am I asking myself that like I'm ready for any of this.
She let's go of his hand and takes a few steps away from him. "This is a place for me to train you to fight. Though I'm not sure it'll be easy to do if you don't even have your power awakened yet." Rika speaks with a bit of disappointment in her voice.
Fighting a girl? I don't even think I can do that to begin with, especially a girl with the strength of a damn dragon! I've never even encountered a real dragon before but I can imagine they are quite strong.
He lifts his hands up to prepare himself to fight, even though his stance is terrible. "Haha. You're funny, you know that." Rika laughs as she prepares to fight.
Her stance looks way better than mine but I've never really fought against anyone before so this is new to me. I don't even think I'd be able to fight her, she's a girl after all.
Dash!! He didn't even see her dash towards him as he sees her fist coming towards him last second. Pow!!!
A right hook right to the face, what a way to end the day... That was the last thing I saw and felt before everything faded to black before me. The pain was there briefly too I guess, but it doesn't matter because I'm out cold right?
Thump. Thump. Thump. Is that my heartbeat going that fast? Is something wrong with me!?!
A strange feeling went throughout his body as he laid on the floor there, but it didn't take long for it to turn into pain. He jolted up, wide awake.
"Gah! What the hell is this!" Nori shouts while gripping his chest.
This pain is absolutely insane, what is going on right now?
Rika kneels before him and places her hand on his chest, he can feel the pain slowly disappearing from his body. "Awakening power is always painful, you'll still need to learn how to fight and it'll take time to use it fully, but it's awakened." Rika speaks with a smile on her face.
I don't know what she's so happy about but damn that is something I don't ever want to feel again. It felt like my body was being torn apart over and over again.
"How can you be so happy?" Nori asks with a bit of a confused expression on his face.
She takes hold of his hand as she looks into his eyes. "You're the first prophet I get to be with so I'm excited that you woke up. Not every prophet gets a chance to awaken their powers." Rika answers while looking down at their hands.
Those other prophets probably didn't make it, or at least that's what I'd assume happened to them all. Learning to fight is something I need to do, or at least that's what I'm told I need to do.
"Why was I chosen?" Nori questions.
"Prophets are brought into the world by other prophets. Your mom or Dad must've been one but it's not a bad thing. You'll be able to work with others who want to help save the world. Aki is awesome and oh don't let me forget about Yuji! You'll meet them all." Rika explains a bit while trying to contain her excitement.
My mom or Dad could've been one of these prophets huh? Grandpa would've known about this right. Why wouldn't he have said something to me about it if this was such a big thing.
The end of the world is at stake and no one said anything to me until now. I don't think really think I'm capable of stopping any of these things from happening since I don't know how to fight or what I'm fighting.
Demons, monsters, gods, angels, what am I fighting?
