Realizer of Death : The Reaper

The next day, Tenku wakes up in a room that looks unfamiliar to him. He woke up early in the morning and started his new life in his new home. Tenku didn't want to be late for school because the apartment was far from Suisei High school and would take at least thirty minutes on foot.

After bathing, wearing the uniform, and having breakfast, Tenku left for school early and stopped by Wang Haotian's place first. But when he came to his apartment, no one answered his knock.

Tenku thought the old man must have left earlier because he had important business. He finally decided to go to school immediately because he didn't want to be late on his first day at his new place.

On the way to school, Tenku saw many Realizers walking around the area looking for monsters that were left behind and could potentially harm the residents living in the neighborhood. But it was none of his business because the most important thing for him right now was to get to school as soon as possible.

After Setsuka arrived at the school, she immediately came to the student council office. Just like yesterday, Kaede had arrived earlier than her and seemed to have been busy in the morning. Luckily Satoru wasn't there because he had a training schedule at his club until noon.

"Good morning, Kaede. What are you doing? Is there a problem in the student council that I don't know about?" Setsuka looked at her best friend in confusion.

"Good morning, Setsuka! Nothing. I came early today and thought to help Kohana find her savior as there wasn't much activity on the student council at the start of the new school year." Kaede looked at Setsuka and smiled.

"Huh? Did Kohana call you yesterday? Did she ask about the reason I couldn't find that boy?" Setsuka raised her eyebrows when Kaede mentioned her sister's name. Yesterday she lied to Kohana with the excuse that she was busy in the student council and class. Setsuka was worried that her little sister would contact Kaede to inquire about the matter.

"You don't have to worry. I have matched my answer with yours, and Kohana believes." Kaede got a call from Kohana yesterday, and the girl asked about Setsuka's schedule.

Kaede was confused at first, but after remembering that they had been looking for a male student from Suisei High School who had saved Kohana, she quickly understood the purpose of the little girl asking that. Kohana wants to confirm what her sister did yesterday.

She realized that Setsuka must have lied to cover up her failure to find the boy. Setsuka was worried that her sister would be angry because she couldn't keep her promise. To help her best friend, Kaede answered Kohana that the student council was very busy yesterday, and it wasn't a lie because they spent a lot of time looking for the student, and that little girl easily believed it.

"Thank God. Thank you, Kaede." Setsuka let out a sigh of relief after hearing Kaede's answer.

"You don't have to think about that. We should look for that student again today. If you still haven't found that person, Kohana might be mad at you." Kaede smiled and returned her focus to her computer screen. She matched the male students from the first to the third year with Kohana's description.

"You are right. Before the student council gets busy, I must find that student. I want to properly express my gratitude to him for saving my sister, not only for Kohana but for me as well." Setsuka nodded and started searching for the student on her computer screen.

Kaede and Setsuka started checking with the third-year students first. Because according to Kohana, the boy who saved her was very fast despite not manifesting his Phantasmal Object. They thought that person must have been training for years and couldn't relate to a first-year student who had just awakened his Phantasmal Object and learned how to fight.

After several hours, Setsuka and Kaede still hadn't found the student, and they decided to stop it because both had scheduled at their respective clubs. They exited the student council office and headed to their club together since the place was in the same direction.

As the two walked down the school hallway towards their club, Setsuka saw three male students walking in the opposite direction, and she recognized one of them. The three students are Tenku, Takaya, and Noboru. They were also on their way to their club; coincidentally, the direction was opposite Setsuka and Kaede.

"Aren't they the trio you asked for the data yesterday? One of them is famous for being the weakest student in the first year, and he can't be the one who saved Kohana." Kaede whispered. She didn't want her voice to be heard by the three students.

"Yes." Setsuka nodded. She not only knew but had met and chatted with him yesterday.

The three students noticed Setsuka and Kaede's appearance. Takaya and Noboru smiled and greeted the two girls. Their gazes made Setsuka uncomfortable, although not as disgusting as the other male students. On the other hand, Tenku slightly lowered his head to Setsuka without seeing her face and acted like they didn't know each other.

Setsuka frowned as she felt uncomfortable for a different reason. She felt Tenku deliberately kept his distance from her.

(Have I done anything wrong to him?)

Setsuka thought back to what she had said to Tenku yesterday and was sure that nothing that came out of her mouth would offend that boy. As she thought deeply about that, her best friend's voice sounded from next to her.

"Setsuka… Setsuka…" Kaede looked at Setsuka worriedly because the other party didn't respond after she called her several times.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Kaede?" Setsuka asked and quickly stabilized her thoughts.

"I'm worried because you don't respond when I call your name. Has something happened?" Kaede felt Setsuka had been acting strange since yesterday. She thought her best friend might have other problems besides finding his sister's savior but hiding it from her.

Of course, that was just conjecture, and another possibility was that he was tired of Kohana, who kept whining about meeting the student who saved her.

"Nothing. I was thinking about yesterday's goblin attack incident in the middle of the city. I almost got hurt for having let my guard down." Setsuka smiled to calm Kaede down and gave a random excuse for her best friend not to ask further about what she was thinking earlier.

"Huh!? What happened!? Are you hurt!? Are you okay!? Why did you tell me!?" Kaede asked frantically and looked at Setsuka's perfect body from head to toe to check her condition.

"I'm fine, Kaede. Didn't you see that I was standing in front of you unharmed? Luckily, there was someone who saved me yesterday. Otherwise, I will be seriously injured or may not be able to see you again forever." Setsuka recalled yesterday's events and showed a different smile than the one he usually showed to Kaede and Kohana.

Even though Tenku said that he accidentally kicked the stone, it didn't change the fact that the boy had saved Setsuka.

"Thank God. Who saved you? I have to meet him and thank him in person." Kaede was curious about the person who had saved Setsuka. In two consecutive days, the two siblings almost got hurt and were saved by people. Even in her wildest imagination, Kaede would never have thought that the same person had done it.

"A Realizer who happened to be passing by because he was kicked out of the house. Pfft!" Setsuka answered but suddenly covered her mouth to hold back her laughter when she recalled Tenku's cute expression walking on the streets carrying a large suitcase. Kaede was taken aback when she saw her best friend's laughter. She had never seen her laugh, even though Setsuka was with Kohana.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally remembered something funny. Then, didn't you get that mission too?" Setsuka noticed her best friend's gaze. She quickly regained her composure and shifted their conversation.

"No. I didn't get it. I know that monsters have been popping up around Tokyo recently. That shouldn't be possible because no reports of a space collapse have occurred in this area. Is the machine used by the organization broken, so they miss it?" Kaede said in a low voice.

"I don't think the machine is broken. Several Realizers may have caused this incident." Setsuka whispered.

"What do you mean?" Kaede frowned when she heard Setsuka's words. He had a bad feeling about the information.

"Although this is only conjecture, the organization has found clues about this incident. They say that some illegal Realizers have formed terrorist organizations, causing riots worldwide. This incident was probably the work of those people." Setsuka said in a deep voice and tightly clenched her fists. On the other hand, Kaede fell silent in shock after hearing Setsuka's explanation. She didn't expect that those illegal Realizers were the root of the incident.

"Okay. We don't need to think about that for now. However, it is just a guess. We better head straight to our club." Setsuka gently patted Kaede's shoulder.

"Yes. You are right. But we better be more careful in the future." Kaede nodded, and the two quickened their footsteps toward their respective clubs. But on the way, Setsuka remembers the attitude Tenku showed her when they met.

(What has happened to me? Why do I feel so bothered by that?)

Setsuka shook her head and tried to get rid of those thoughts.
