Chapter 151 – What the Training Was For.

Chapter 151 – What the Training Was For. Announcement

2 Chaps! And now for a sad announcement. Due to life reasons and general fatigue, after this Sunday, the Red Hand will only release one chapter per release day from now on. I do have chapters written past chapter 200, but with the upcoming job and other things, I will not have the time to ensure release consistency if I keep doing two per release day. I'm sorry if this disappoints you, but I hope you understand I made this decision so to keep both the quality of the story high and make sure there is consistency in releases.

Thank you!

Rewinding time to a bit earlier that same day.

Akagi's trip to the United States caused some buzz and gossip among the girls' classmates. Most were wondering what would happen, and there were even some who thought the Demon would announce her takeover of the world during the UN address. Something Naomi and Mika found hilarious, while Kana just groaned in exasperation.

Besides a bit of idle gossip, things had mostly returned to normal, owing largely to Akagi's polite request for civility. Most students were still standoffish towards, and Hito was still a problem once he returned from his suspension, but things were otherwise fine. The week blew by quickly, and it was soon Friday. Akagi's speech to humanity would be on Monday and it was already decided that the students would tune in to watch, which again gave Naomi and Mika ample opportunity to poke fun at Kana.

"So, hows does it feels knowing you will soon be the Princess of all humanity?" Mika laughed as they chatted in the classroom during break.

"Yeah? Will you still associate with us, peons?" Naomi smirked.

"You both do remember I can bend steel now, right?" Kana glared at them. "And I think bones are a bit easier to snap than that."Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

{Don't tempt me!} (Kana)

"The Princess is violent!" Mika cried as gave an overly dramatic recoil. "Please don't eat me!"

"It's in her blood, Mika." Naomi shrugged. "She can't help but wish to harm us lowly mortals."

"I swear to god, the moment I figure it out, you two are both going on an island in the Pacific!" Kana growled. "Why must you two aggravate me like this? Isn't Onee-chan's teasing enough?!?"

"What are friends for if they don't pick on each other?" (Mika x Naomi)

*Whimper Noises* (Kana)

{Why must people pick on me...} (Kana)

"Now, Now." Naomi pat Kana on the head. "No need to get all sulky. The Demon Princess shouldn't show such a sad sight to her subjects."

"I wouldn't need to be if you two would just..." Kana sighed. "Never mind. At this point, I should just accept my fate."

"She's learning." Mika grinned.

"Yeah, and I guess in order to be fair I should start picking on you two in return." Kana switched to an evil smile. "Perhaps Scary Kana should be my new default? I think that sounds like fun."

Mika and Naomi felt a chill run down their spins. "Wait, hold on! There's no need for something that drastic!" Mika exclaimed, waving her hands around in protest.

"Yeah! Just think about all the good times we had together!" Naomi gave a dry laugh.

"Oh?" Kana grinned. "But won't it be much more fun this way?" She was genuinely contemplating going full Scary Kana.

"I want to live!" Mika cried out.

"I take it all back! Just don't let the sadistic Kana out of the box!" Naomi started sweating. "Once that happens we're all doomed."

"Pfffff." Kana started laughing. "Man, the look on your faces was priceless! Good to know that all it takes is a few words and you turn tail real quick!"

{Onee-chan was right, seeing people freak out like that really is fun!} (Kana)

"Because it's a very real and scary threat!" Mika said. "You might not be as bad as Akagi, but you can get close enough!"

{We don't call it SCARY KANA for nothing!} (Mika)

"Yeah, I remember the story about the monkey bars." Naomi sighed.

"Hey! He deserved that for picking on Kaori." Kana puffed out her cheeks.

"But did you really have to break his arm?" Mika squinted her eyes in disapproval. "Sounds like overkill."

"It made him stop, didn't it?" Kana smiled.

"The world's doomed if Kana starts seeing violence as the solution to every problem..." Naomi put her head in her hands.

"Sad part is, that would probably work." Kana laughed.

The three kept talking for a bit more before a scream interrupted them.

"What was that?" Kana went on alert and saw what looked like one student biting another. "What the hell?!?"

The three girls and the teacher rushed over to the grisly sight of one of the girls in the class having her neck chomped by a young man.

"What's going on?!?" The teacher cried out. She tried to pull them apart but was thrown back by the boy. In that brief moment, the girls caught a glimpse of the young man's face.

"I-is that? H-Hito?" Kana stammered.

"Why is he attacking her?!?" Mika cried out.

"We need to do something!" Naomi said as the girl cried out for help.

"P-please, someone..." The girl went limp as Hito dropped her to the ground, her blood pooling around her.

"Ka-na!" Hito was stark white, even more so than Akagi, and his veins were visible on his face. His eyes had become red, and you could see two fangs protruding from his mouth.

{W-wha?} (Kana)

"Ka-na!" He yelled out, sticking out his hand and causing his nails to length into sharp blades. "Ka-na!"

He leapt at the girls, barely missing Kana, who jumped out of the way.

"Stop this, Hito!" Kana yelled. "What the hell are you doing?!?"

"Ka-na!" He didn't respond, only speaking her name as he tried to slash her.

"Naomi! You need to call Akagi!" Mika said. "We need her to get here and handle this!" She started to panic.

"A-ka-gi..." Hito stopped attacking Kana and turned towards Mika. Something about her name set him off.

"A-ka-gi!" He screamed as he ran towards her, going down on all fours, like an animal.

Mika screamed as Hito leaped towards her.

{Damnit, no!} Kana activated her magic, she still needed training, but it would have to do. She moved as fast as she could, summoning Himari and getting between Hito and Mika, blocking his claws with her blade.

"Get back! Call Onee-chan. I'll hold him off!" Kana said to her friends.

"Ka-na! A-ka-gi!" Hito put more power into his arms, causing Kana to be pushed back a bit.

Mika and Naomi moved back, trying not to panic. Naomi opened her AR device and called Akagi, but it would take a bit before she arrived.

{This isn't good. Himari, can we deal with him?} (Kana)

{Probably, but its risky to just try delay rather than destroy him. Holding back against him will be hard, and it might get you hurt.} (Himari)

"Ka-na!" Hito screamed as he put more power into his attack, causing Kana to fall backward onto the ground "Ka-na!" He went in to slash her but was hit with a rock thrown by Mika.

"Leave her alone!" Mika yelled.

"Rawrhg!" Hito growled as he lunged forwards at Mika. There was no room to get in between the two, and Kana made a snap decision.

{Himari, full power!} She cried out in her mind asking her partner for everything, to which Himari obliged.

{I'm sorry, Hito.} Kana apologized in her mind as she rocketed forward, faster than she'd ever moved, and dove Himari straight into Hito's back. Sending the blade straight through his heart as the two tumbled onto the asphalt

"Ka-na!" Hito cried out as his blood ran across the ground, he squirmed and twitched, reaching out towards Mika. But before her could do anything, he died.

Kana slowly stood up, her gym cloths were covered in dark red blood, and Himari was similarly stained red. The entire world seemed to go silent as she stared into the distance as she contemplated what she just did. What seemed like an eternity in her mind was only interrupted by a hand on her shoulder.

"na... Kana!" She was shaken by Akagi, who just arrived.

"Onee-chan." Kana turned to look at her sister. "I- I killed him. I-" she heaved forward as she puked on the ground.
