Dooms At The Corner

The Offer

After knowing about the scholarship process I decided to try my best to achieve my dream and I also researched manything but here I am, a boy without motivation the next day. I forgot I am a wallflower.

While I was thinking about my scholarship process, the Morning classes were over in a blink of an eye and now it was lunchtime. I was eating my lunch sandwich behind the school building. The best place for me.Complete solitary and peace.

But here comes the problem

"Oi oi, Commoner what are you eating here like you own this place, don't forget you are just an ordinary person, don't be full of yourself, "Tristan said showing his disgusting looks.

  It's become a problem but its simple solution is to ignore them. You cant keep everyone happy. so you be happy is the best.

I didn't reply to anything and ignored him. It has been like every day that problems keep poking me.

" I wasn't satisfied that day when you lost. The fight was between you and me but Sunao Sakurako interfere. The feeling of beating the useless ordinary commoner like you is just paradise for royalty like us."

   "so I Tristan Rodgeruig hereby challenge you for a battle"

  "Huh! battle from nowhere is just.." I show him a poker face but with a low voice.

  ha ha ha ha it was just like I wanted, I am relieved that it turned out like this. It will become my 1st official match but

 "I accept your challenge, but I have 4 conditions, if you accept these then I will fight with you"

 "huh, say your condition lowly commoner"

  "The 1st one is that the match will be played in no audience."

 "Are you afraid of what happens if you lose for the 2nd time, ha.. ha... I accept it" 

  "The 2nd one is that it will be played as an official battle under the direct surveillance of the teacher."

 "I accept it"

 "3rd one if I win I will get 2 matches worth of points and you convince the teacher for it"

 "ugh... it's not in the rule, I can't accept it" 

  "So the great lineage of the royal guard  isn't sure that he can beat a lowly commoner like me" 

 "I accept it and I will talk about it to the teacher. Whatever I will win for sure"

'Last but not least whatever the result comes out no-one will announce it outside"

 "I accept it, is this all you need?"

 "Yeah, that's all"

"And what happens when I will win which I am definitely going to, hmmm... let's see you will live as a slave of me for your entire life" 

 "I accept it"

  Then we informed Ms. Tanya to survey as a teacher and the conditions.

  I was a little worried about the points system but it turns out if the two players decided teachers have nothing to do with this but your performance decides whether you get 2 match worth points or not. The day which it will happen is decided as next week Thursday after School.

  I am kind of relieved that it turned out like this. Next is to wait for the match.

  But I am quite worried about something. While I was talking with Tristan I felt a presence but I was too focused on that matter I ignored it. I don't think anyone listens to us, right? Who might be that?

   The next day when I arrived at school students were chit-chatting about the battle. Maybe that guy who I am going to fight spread this. But it doesn't concern me. it's not like it will cause me any problem and they don't know about the conditions.

  If I win that match no one will know who won and everybody assumes that Tristan won and I lose. Two things in one arrow.

   MEANWHILE AT CELESTIAL AGE MAIN CAMP 

  "Did you get the information that I asked for?"One of the celestial commanders asked his soldier.

 "Yes sir, precisely. Name Kogen Starlezia, Hometown Loser city Harsya,16years old, His mother name Dethy Starlezia, father Yoru Starlezia. His father and mother were both former Adventurers. But both  retired 17 years ago." Soldier replied.

  "And sir one more thing, can you come closer, whisper... whisper...."

   "What are you saying but how?" the commander replied.

   "Then I am going" 

"But where are you going, sir?"

"isn't it obvious, that I am going where I need to be?" the celestial commander replied with a prideful smile and after that left the camp.

    That day passed by and today is Tuesday. After the classroom, I was called by a girl from the school. But as a man of society, there are some things that I have to do. So I did the obvious thing I didn't open the letter and behaved as if nothing happened to me and ignore it like it was my first day as a baby in the world.

 huhuhu... Mission accomplished.

  "Umm...Kagen"

   huh? Who called my name,oii.. oiii...oioi... 

 "Here me Sunao, "Sunao said while tilting her head slightly.

  Huh. She just tilted her head like a manga character. but I know nobody ever compares to manga characters. Wait it isn't the time to do this.

  "How do you know my name?"

  "I heard it from the principal that day"

that old tricky principle ...

 " Huh, then goodbye "Kagen avoided it and started to return.

 "Wait I have something to talk with you Kagen, do you going to fight with Tristan  secretly" 

 "Huh, eavesdropping isn't a good thing " 

  My, decision resolution is to have something that's definitely can't deny. Eavesdropping is one of them.

 "Sorry I didn't do that intentionally"

 Ohh... I didn't do it secretly, I just want to give the debt with it's interest to him. So I did that"

"Ohh.. sorry"Sunao apologized.

"But you are very cold to me" 

  "Not you but everyone, I pity you to live in a society who needs help from others," Kagen replied with a firm smile.

 "But it is easy with the help of people, "Sunao argued.

  "That's the wrong mindset society gets to your mind. But it is true that in normal cases two is better than one. But what if the one is more capable of them, he wants to do his work on his own even if it hurts. Even if he knows he doesn't have any chance with the opponent but he still moves forward. He accepts the fact that he can't win and once more time he faces off with the opponent. What's wrong with this?" Kagen replied with all he got.

  But for the 1st time, I lost my cool and couldn't handle these things.

 "I understand, But you seem to me like a realistic monster, "Sunao replied smiley.

   "he... What is that? ``I replied smiley.

 Monster? is a good word. I don't mind becoming a monster if I have the power to protect my world. But still, she does something noticeable to me every time we meet Hugh...

 "Then I shall take my leave" 

I said this and started walking to my dorm .but suddenly...

"Wait, can I call you Kagen, if you don't mind?"Sunao asked while fidgeting.

  Name? I wouldn't mind.

"Do what you want but don't tell others my name and other things also."

  That day I went home and didn't do anything, just sleep.

[Sunao Sakurako POV]

 He smiled two times today. First time I have ever seen him smile. He looks like just a prince in the fairytale. His dark aura gives the chills of a  Demon lord. His reasoning is so legit even I couldn't defend my opinion there. All things he said were rude but it didn't hurt. maybe because all of that things are true. But his aura is amazing. I felt my heart beating so fast only by looking at him. I have to train myself. And today I got a special bonus, I can call his name huhu~hu,hmm~hmmm.

[POV END]

 After that day time passes faster and now we are here for my future...
