One week later,
Yuuta held a funeral for his mother and his little sister and buried their ashes alongside
his father's fake grave, Hasegawa Yura.
‘Losing someone that dear to you must be hard’ He thought.
The fear of losing, mourning still creep inside him.
That was the moment he made a decision that he cannot turn back.
To become a sorcerer and a fighter.
He doesn’t want people to feel this agonizing.
"Yuuta, I already took all your belonging into the moving truck." Yagura patted
his shoulder, stopping him from reminiscing.
"My gaming pc too?" He asked.
"All of it." Yagura winked at him.
"I got one question to ask you." Yuuta turns his gaze toward Yagura.
"Ask me anything." Yagura throws a big smile.
"Where will I be staying? I mean I don't have any relative in Tokyo." He asked.
"Didn’t I tell you that?" They both drop in silence.
Yuuta just shook his head slowly.
"My bad. The school will provide a personal room for each student, you don't have
to worry about it." Aoki approach them.
"I told you to tell him everything about ADSH." Yagura sighed.
"Watanabe, where have you been? I thought you already left to Tokyo already." Yuuta asked.
“I hunt down that s-rate demon. Can’t have them let loose anymore.”
“Did you get it?” Yuuta asked.
“Already turn into ashes AHAHAHAHA!” He laughs.
“It took you one week?” Yagura smirk at him.
"It's not like I will come to Kyoto every day. So let me make a little tour." He
showed him all the souvenir he bought.
'I thought that I can rely more on Watanabe, but he’s no different than Yagura sensei.'
Yuuta thought to himself as he throws a fake smile at them.
Seeing how Aoki and Yagura went along so well making him realize that this is the aid the
he needs.
If only Yagura and Aoki didn't come to him that night, giving him hope for the better
day, he knew he will be drowning with pain and regrets.
Being told that is not his faults was all the thing he need to ensure himself.
"Yagura sensei, do you know Hibiki?" Yuuta asked, breaking the laugh between
Yagura and Aoki.
"Hibiki? How do you know that name?" Yagura asked him again.
"I heard it from that demon last week. He was so shock to see me and ran away
immediately. He said that he was not arrogant enough to fight with
Hibiki-sama." Explain Yuuta.
"There will come the right time for you to get to know about him. Of course, before it
all too late. Now let's go, before we miss the train." Yagura patted at
the back of both of them before walking toward the street.
Yuuta didn't give very much thought about Hibiki even though Yagura didn't give him any
answer.
He knew damn too well how demon could be mischiefs and conning just to shake the human's
belief.
After a long train ride from Kyoto to Tokyo, the three finally arrived at the ADSH.
"Okay! Yuuta, this is your room." Yagura gives him the key.
"Hasegawa, you just live next door." Aoki excited.
Yuuta gives him an awkward smile.
"Listen here carefully, this is all the rules you need to follow." Yagura looks at
him, dead in the eyes.
"One, no women into the boy’s dorm which is this building. Two, no drinking in this
dorm. Three, no testing your power here in this dorm. When stepping into this
building, you are just a mere mortal kid. And lastly, do not go beyond the
sealed door which is the one and only sealed prison under that training
ground." Yagura pointed his hand toward the training ground that can be
seem from the window.
"Got it." Yuuta replied.
"Both of you may rest for today. But tomorrow, there's no mercy in your training
Aoki." Yagura grin at him.
"G... Got it." Aoki stuttered.
"And Yuuta, we will test your chakra tomorrow. So, make sure to have a good rest
today." Yagura throws them a smile before leaving them two behind.
"Yagura sensei seems a bit scary sometimes." Said Yuuta.
“You call this scary? You don't experience his wrath yet. The thought of it gives me
shiver." Aoki replied.
"What have you done?" Yuuta laughed.
"I broke one of the rules he gave." Aoki drop silence.
"You brought a girl in?" Yuuta's eyes widened.
"What do you think I am Hasegawa? I broke the last rules obviously. I went beyond the
sealed prison." Aoki look at him.
His eyes full of thing he wants to spill.
"Stop there. I don't want further information." Yuuta step in his room and close
the door.
"Hasegawa wait! I got no one to talk about this!" Aoki begged him.
"You such no fun Hasegawa." Aoki mumbled and went to his room.
12 am in the midnight, Yuuta laying down on him bed, scrolling thru his phone's gallery.
"Nii-chan miss you, Yuri." His eyes become teary.
Yuuta starts to reminiscing his memories with his beloved sister, Hasegawa Yuri.
It takes only few minutes for Yuuta to completely close his eyes, falling asleep as he
drowns by the thought of his younger sister.
"Aaaa~" Yuuta gets up and stretch his body.
It's already 8 in the morning but he still felt sleepy and keep yawning while getting ready
as if he didn't get much rest last night.
"Hasegawa, what are you doing last night?' Aoki asked.
He looked up and down at him as Yuuta look really miserable.
"I was sleeping obviously until someone decided that it is okay to sing out loud in
the middle of the night." Yuuta frowned, as he letting out another yawn.
"Sing?" Aoki look at him, full of curiosity.
"Don't you hear it? Last night or should I say all night." Stated him.
"Stop saying such nonsense. You knew that our dorm is sound proof right?" Aoki
laugh it off.
Yuuta drops silence, didn't get the joke.
"Come, let's go to the training ground." Aoki said as he patted Yuuta's back.
They both walk and acts like Yuuta never stated such thing.
"Yuuta, looks like the uniform fit you well." Yagura greets them with a big smile.
"Yes, and it's comfortable enough." Said Yuuta as he adjusting the clothes he
wore.
A pair of black clothes fit him well like a tailor made, revealing all the toned of his
muscles.
An ankle short pant showing how long his legs were, makes his puma runner shoes stand
out more.
Yuuta completes his look with a bright red hoodie he wore underneath his jacket.
"But, are you cold?" Yagura asked him.
"A bit." Answered him.
"But it's in the middle of the summer you know." Aoki look at him.
"I don't know, I woke up today and felt chill to my bone." Yuuta stated
again.
"Stop with the chit-chat. Yuuta, move forward and stand in those circles."
Yagura asked him.
Yuuta followed his instruction well and stand in a circle in the middle of the
training ground.
"I need you to focus and relax! Start release the chakra out from your body!" Yagura
shouted from a far.
"But I don't know how! How would I know if I have chakra in me or not?!" Yuuta
shouted.
"Everyone does have chakra! Just feel the flow in your body!" Replied Yagura.
Yuuta spends a solid 1 minute, trying to make himself get into a total focus state. He
doesn't even know what were he doing.
He takes a very deep breath, relaxing all his muscles.
Yuuta shut his eyes close, try to feels the flow in his body.
Before he noticed, his hand already on fire.
"Argh!" Yuuta shock, as he trying to shake the fire away.
Slowly, the flames burn out and vanish.
He took a close look at his palm, there were no injury at all.
"What is this?" He mumbled.
"The power of Kagutsuchi." Yagura walks toward him.
"Kagutsuchi? The fire god?" Yuuta blurred.
"Yes, he was a deadly god that killed his mother when giving birth to him. Because of
that, Izanagi killed him and his power split up to eight and scatter around.
But 1000 years ago, a guy named Hibiki collect all his power yet to create
Hinokagutsuchi again. He failed the ritual and become the deadliest demon
himself. There's a told that the power of Hinokagutsuchi was scatter again
which is I don't believe at all." Yagura explains.
"Why would you think that way, sensei? Isn't that was based on the true story that
our principal told?" Aoki asks.
"Because I believe that Hibiki is not Hinokagutsuchi." Yagura said.
"Either way, Yuuta! You don't have to worry about that because lot of our student here
does have fire as their nature chakra." Yagura looks at him, smiling.
"I did not worry about that. It's not that bad to have the power of a god." Yuuta
replied.
"Glad you would say that." Yagura laughs.
"Okay now let's practise! Aoki, you teach Yuuta how to do that move. The one that I
teach you last time." Yagura passed the task to Aoki.
"You just made me fight you last time." Aoki mumbled.
"Yes, exactly!" Yagura said as he walks away.
"Sorry Hasegawa, I don't really know much what to teach you. And more importantly, my
chakra is Fujin (wind). Different element." Aoki muttered.
"Watanabe, wind you said?" Yuuta asked.
"Yes, why?" Aoki return the question.
"Didn't wind make the fire stronger?" He spoke.
"Exactly! You are genius Hasegawa!" Aoki's eyes widened.
