Chapter 205 205



"Are you The Reaper?" The one who asked was Daichi.

When he saw Tenku appear, he felt confused as he noticed the expressions of the Realizers around him. Daichi quickly figures out his identity as The Reaper after hearing their words.

He was unhappy because he felt Tenku was arrogant and pretending to be cool by coming to that place on his motorcycle. Moreover, Daichi envied that an illegal Realizer could become famous and respected.

Daichi is annoyed but can't do anything because he hears The Reaper is mighty. So he decided to stay silent and suppressed his displeasure with Tenku. But after Daichi discovered that Tenku only had powers in the asteroid phase, he smirked and walked over to him.

When Akio saw Daichi suddenly get up from his seat, he asked, and his best friend said he wanted to chat with Tenku. So Akio and the others didn't stop him.

Tenku glanced at Daichi briefly and then ignored him. Daichi was very angry because he thought Tenku looked down on him.

"Do you think you are powerful because you use the nickname The Reaper? My phase is only one level below yours, but my age is much younger. Aren't you ashamed of playing strong like that?" Daichi scoffed, but Tenku still ignored him, making his emotions explode.

"Do not be arrogant! You're just an illegal Realizer in the asteroid phase! Do you think that you are invincible!? I can even beat you with power in the meteor phase!" Daichi raises his voice and manifests a Phantasmal Object in the form of a gauntlet in his left hand.

"Wait a minute, Daichi!" Akio and the others were shocked when they saw the situation had suddenly turned bad and wanted to stop Daichi, but they were too late.

Daichi charged and used the opportunity to attack Tenku before he used his Phantasmal Object. He threw his fist and was sure he could injure him with his strike.

Just before the attack hit him, Tenku threw his fist casually without even looking at his opponent. Daichi sneered when he saw that because he thought Tenku was exaggerating his strength for countering his attacks without using a Phantasmal Object. He was sure that he could cripple Tenku's hand with his attack.

After that, their fists clashed, and what happened was the opposite of what Daichi had imagined.

Click!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Daichi screamed in pain and was blown away to where the students from Suisei High School were gathered. The sight surprised the other Realizers because Tenku could counter Daichi's attack without using a Phantasmal Object.

"What!?"

"How could he counter an attack by a Phantasmal Object with his bare hands!?"

"Has he secretly manifested his Phantasmal Object!?"

The Realizers became noisy and said their respective assumptions. Some of them no longer dared to underestimate Tenku, and the rest didn't care because they thought he used some trick to counter the attack.

"Daichi!!" Akio shouted and stood up from his seat. Asuka and Michiko quickly checked on Daichi's condition.

"How dare you to attack a student from our school!?" Akio looked at Tenku and retorted.

"Are you blind? He was the one who attacked me first, so what I was doing was self-defense. You don't think I should stay quiet and receive his fist, do you?" Tenku looked at Akio and replied.

"But you shouldn't be too hard on him since he will participate in this mission! If he were seriously injured, he wouldn't be able to fight against the monsters! That would reduce the combat power of our school!

Are you deliberately reducing our strength?" Akio narrowed his eyes and accused Tenku. He didn't want to accept Tenku's words and thought his action was wrong even though his attack was in self-defense.

"Now, you accuse me for no reason? You should blame him and not me. The people here weren't blind and knew who started attacking first. You say that because you want to show that you are a person who upholds justice, right? But you don't consider who is right and wrong here. You defended him openly because he was your childhood friend.

Most importantly, you should check your friend's condition before saying that. So don't show me your heroic appearance because it's disgusting." Tenku said and turned his face away from Akio.

"You!" Akio is angry and intends to manifest his Phantasmal Object. But before he did, he was startled as a massive wall of ice appeared.

"Stop!" Setsuka shouted and walked over to Akio with a cold face.

"Why are you stopping me, senior Fuyushima? He already hurt one of the students from our school." Akio looked at Setsuka and said.

"Are you two not causing enough trouble?" Setsuka asked angrily. She could still hold back her emotions when Akio and Daichi mocked Tenku, but she couldn't stay silent when she saw them attack him.

"What do you mean?" Akio didn't understand why Setsuka was angry with him.

"I mean, stop what you're doing. Don't you realize that you have embarrassed Suisei High School because of that? First, you let your friend attack The Reaper, and now you're blaming that person. Secondly, your friend was not seriously injured and only dislocated his shoulder.

So you don't have to make things worse by saying he hurt your friend. You better check his condition first before you accuse The Reaper. Your friend would have lost his arm by now if he were serious.

So stop your actions and sit quietly while waiting for the mission to start. If you cause more trouble, I won't hesitate to remove you from this mission." Setsuka warned Akio and went towards Tenku.

"I'm sorry for the actions of the students from our school." Setsuka bowed ninety degrees to Tenku and said apologetically. The people from Suisei High School and the Realizers in that place were stunned when they heard that.

Tenku looked at Setsuka and also had the same feeling as them. He did not expect the girl to apologize to him in front of so many people.

"You don't need to worry about that. I don't mind it at all." Tenku said in the voice of a middle-aged man.

Setsuka secretly smiled as she bowed because she felt the gentleness of his words, and she was sure that person was Tenku.

"Thank You." Setsuka raised her head and smiled slightly. After that, she quickly left the place and returned to where the students from Suisei High School were gathered.

Akio fell silent and opened his mouth wide when he saw what Setsuka was doing. But he quickly returns to his senses as he checks on Daichi's condition.

"How's Daichi's condition?" Akio asked Asuka and Michiko, who were checking on Daichi.

"He is fine. As senior Fuyushima said, he wasn't seriously injured." Michiko replied.

"Then why does he look in pain?" Akio looked at Daichi, who was holding his arm with a pained expression and a pale face.

"Daichi became like that because his left hand was sprained. He just needs a little treatment, and he will be back to normal and able to participate in missions." Asuka explained.

Tenku barely used his strength when punched Daichi because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. If he had increased his strength even a little, then Daichi would have lost his hand by now, making Suisei High School and the Realizers of the official organization angry with him.

"That's good. I thought that he had been injured because of that person." Akio sighed in relief after hearing Asuka's words.

"You shouldn't accuse him before you checked Daichi's condition." Michiko responded.

"Okay. Let's put that problem aside for now. We better treat Daichi immediately so he can continue participating in this mission." Akio tried to change the topic of their conversation as he felt ashamed of what he had done. What's more, it was seen by the senior Realizers.

On the other hand, Kirika was paying close attention to what had happened because she felt that Setsuka's behavior was strange. Even though she knew that Daichi was guilty, Setsuka shouldn't have to apologize like that to The Reaper in public.

Kirika raised her eyebrows after thinking about something. She secretly manifested her Phantasmal Object and used its ability. Kirika shoots an invisible spiritual thread at Tenku and intends to control him. She tries to discover the relationship between The Reaper and Setsuka.

But then Kirika was startled when she saw The Reaper suddenly turn his gaze to her, and his eyes lit up.

"Aargh!" Kirika knelt and held her head with both hands. She felt an excruciating headache, and it was familiar to her.

"That person is him..." Kirika said in a barely audible voice. Even though she was in great pain, a beautiful smile bloomed because she was happy.

Kirika is sure that The Reaper is Tenku, and the proof is the terrible pain in her head. The spiritual mark inside her has been activated because she has bad intentions toward Tenku. Kirika knew about The Reaper from the news she read on the League of Heroes forums and the stories of the people around her.

She didn't expect that Tenku was The Reaper, a famous illegal Realizer who had been slaying monsters from space collapse that had appeared all over Tokyo over the past few years. It made her happy, and she admired him. Tenku must have a reason for doing that. Although their goals may be different, what they do is the same, killing monsters.

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ "Kirika! What happened to you?" Ichiro asked worriedly when he saw Kirika suddenly groan in pain while clutching her head. The other Realizers also turned their attention to her. They were confused about why Kirika became like that.

"ah, I'm fine. I just had a slight headache from exhaustion, but now it's gone." Kirika pushes Ichiro, who intends to touch her. She stood up and sat down in her seat. After that, Kirika took a deep breath to stabilize her mind and looked at Tenku gratefully.

Fortunately, Tenku quickly deactivated the spiritual mark. Kirika would keep rolling on the ground screaming in agony if he didn't. It would embarrass her because the Realizers around her would be watching.

Ichiro is surprised when he sees Kirika refusing him to touch her. He wanted to say something to her, but a voice stopped him.

"For all the Realizers participating in this joint mission, we will be entering the Kumotori mountain area now, and please prepare yourselves. Space collapse is predicted to appear in a few hours." One of the overseers from the three official organizations said over the loudspeaker.

Upon hearing that, all of the Realizers immediately prepared to depart. The three overseers from the official organization walked ahead to lead the way while the Realizers followed behind them.

Setsuka glanced at Tenku and saw the other party sitting quietly under the tree. He didn't seem to show any signs of moving from that place. Setsuka wanted to walk with him but couldn't because that would make the other Realizers suspicious of Tenku. Setsuka reluctantly left the place with the students and teachers from Suisei High School.

Meanwhile, two people were chatting in whispers at one spot. They seemed to keep their distance from the other Realizers deliberately.

"When will we carry out our plan?" One of the two people asked.

"Once space collapse breaks out and high-level monsters emerge from the portal, it will be time for us to act. At that time, all Realizers in this mission will die." The other person answered and grinned horribly.
