MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 30 The hot night

"Mah! I want this!"

Four people were walking in a market of two boys and two adult women.

One of the boys pointed it at the toy store.

Without waiting for an answer the boy immediately ran towards the store and looked inside through the glass wall.

"Mah! I want this!"

The boy pointed towards the super hero toy that was displayed there.

Not long after the other children also ran there as well.

"Waahh! I want this one too!"

Another child pointed towards the store but the difference was that he pointed towards the kaiju monster that was installed near the super hero.

"Why did you choose the evil monster Ryu?"

"Eh? doesn't that look cool? and I feel a little sad to see monsters always die."

"They are evil so they must be killed!"

The boy explained excitedly.

"But I think they must have a reason to do that."

"I don't understand, Mah is that true?"

"Mom doesn't know about that."

"If according to auntie it might be because even monsters have feelings and may not have bad intentions just that their mindset is different from humans so they are considered evil."

"Good words mayumi."

"Thank you, already let's buy and continue shopping you can play it when you get home."

""Baiic!""

.

.

.

"Argghh lost again!?"

"My nails look like you're gonna have to treat me tomorrow."

Two lower-middle-class students sat while holding a game console.

The screen looks ultra human against kaiju but it ends in a kaiju victory.

"Well, but why do I always lose? we play all day but I never win!"

"Simple, when I'm alone I always train hard to win!"

"I did the same thing."

"Err then I get the power from the gods so I can win!"

"That kind of thing can't exist."

"Is that? well the point is just accept your defeat this is reality."

"Huh how can I lose after using the strongest character."

The boy muttered.

.

.

.

I woke up and held my head which was very painful, my body also feels very painful now.

I forced myself to get up and when I got off the bed I almost fell down because of dizziness.

A servant came in and supported my body.

"Please allow me to help you put your clothes on."

The service spoke without emotion.

I'm the man you know?

"No thanks, I can wear it myself."

"Understand."

The waiter helped me sit down and then came out.

I put on my clothes and then came out.

At the door was a waiter waiting, As he walked I started to follow him.

We arrived in front of a large door and when we entered there was already a large table with food on it.

My friends were there and I was the last.

"You're late, you lazy bastard!"

Daisuke stood up furiously.

"I'm sorry."

"Have it, let's eat."

I sat down and the waiter was standing behind me, I looked up at the whale seat and it was empty.

"Where is the Pope now?"

I just asked inadvertently out of curiosity but someone answered my question.

"The Pope is currently doing something and is very busy so can't attend, and sorry because I don't know what he's doing either."

"Ahh no need to think about it, I'm just a little curious."

.

.

.

We were all gathered in a field that looked like an army training ground.

"tuk tuk tuk." The sound of footsteps.

"Good morning everyone~"

We all turned around and there appeared a woman with long black hair and a typical kind-hearted sister.

At least that was my first impression.

The woman walked while yawning even her clothes were so casual like just waking up.

Her hair was messy and her walking manner was so uninspired as it was forcefully awakened.

What made him look like a warrior was a sword still hanging on his waist.

The woman stopped in front of us.

"Hooh so these are the heroes, some of them look pretty promising."

"Ano.... You who?"

"Hm? me? you didn't hear what the old man smelled of the land?"

Can ridicule the pope so blatantly..

"We were directed here to practice but that's it."

"The two jackbirds! Huh alright I will explain it as briefly as possible."

The woman began to introduce herself.

"My name is Yumei Evenlope, one of the 7 holy knights and will be your instructor from now on."

"..."

"why?"

"Umm just that?"

"Yes, we'll be together from now on so we'll get to know each other as time goes on, then we start by checking your status so that I can know what kind of training you deserve."

The waiter began to appear and hand out a small glass like gadget.

"Drip your blood into the mirror and then flow where you are into it."

Following the instructions I pricked my finger with a needle and then drained my man into it.

The mirror gave off a little light and there appeared an inscription.

"As a normal human comparison it will usually have a basic statistic ranging from 10-20 and a hero is usually between 50-100."

"Woah my strength is above 100!"

"My speed is very high!"

I heard the students start jumping and showing each other their stats.

I looked at my stats with my heart and after seeing them I could not say a word.

Name: Hirohito Daiki

Age: 19 years

Gender : Male

Basic statistics :

Stamina :5

Speed: 5

Intelligence: 5

Physical strength: 5

Magic power: 5

"..."

"Pff! Guys, look at this! The statistics are so low hahahah!"

"Seriously!?"

My friend started to gather and started laughing out loud especially Daisuke who had already rolled on the floor while holding his stomach.

From the beginning I should not have hoped.

"Hey look at this!"

Daisuke showed me his stats and it was great.

Name: Daisuke Katsuo

Age: 19 years

Gender : Male

Basic statistics :

Stamina :100

Speed: 100

Intelligence: 100

Physical strength: 100

Magic power: 100

"Waahhh as expected of the boss! your statistics are amazing!"

"Boss you are the main character now!"

I intended to turn around to return to the room but in front of me stood a woman.

"Where are you? the training hasn't even started yet."

It was Yumei.

"I want to go back to my room."

"Why? am I being too hard on you or something?"

"Look at yourself."

I showed my statistics and strangely he was not surprised or demeaning to me.

"Hmmm this is weird, how can your stats be so low."

Yumei started touching my body and watching me from all directions like seeing something strange.

"Can? I'm gonna go back and sleep."

I walked past but without realizing it I was just walking in place, I looked back and found Yumei pulling my collar.

"The training's about to begin and you're gonna have to go."

"Hey let me go!"

I used all my strength to hold it in and it stopped.

Yumei looked at me with a surprised look and it made me very scared.

"Please let me go."

"No, you should come."

Now he's dragging me stronger so I'm forced to come along.

.

.

.

We sat in a room that looked like a classroom and Yumei stood in front of us.

"Today I will explain a little about magic and you will practice it."

Yumei began to explain what mana and magic are and how to use them.

We practiced it in class and Yumei pointed Enaka sensei to come forward because among all of us he had the highest magic power.

Enaka sensei came forward and started to close his eyes and instantly flames started to appear in his palm.

"Well, it worked!"

Enaka sensei tried again and this time he created water, earth, wind, lightning, ice and more.

"That's pretty great how do you do it?"

"Hehe's pretty simple I just tried a few things like I know about the laws of physics and it worked."

"Hooh interesting, you're quite talented."

I tried it myself in the back and it turned out that I could use it even though it was very small.

"Then we have class today, you should practice on your own because tomorrow there will be a match practice to test your skills."

I returned to the room accompanied by the waiter.

"Why do you keep following me?"

"I'm your personal servant so it's only natural that I keep following you everywhere."

"So, my name is Hirohito because we'll be together often so greetings."

The waiter looked at me with a surprised look.

"M–sorry! forget it."

I decided to leave but the waiter opened his mouth.

"No, I'm Marie just marie so you can call me by that name."

"Greetings to Marie."

I turned around to go to the room and Marie came behind me.

A DUG! A DUG! A DUG!

"Cru!"

"Sir hiro what's up!?"

My chest hurt even more than it did this morning.

"Aargh!!!"

I almost fell but was immediately restrained by Marie.

"Sorry."

"No problem."

I got to the room while being supported by Marie.

"Whatever happens please don't tell anyone, I don't want anyone to know."

"Understand."

.

.

.

Midnight.

"Haah haah haah Arkk!"

Marie kept compressing Hiro's forehead nonstop since he slept.

"What am I supposed to do, the temperature is getting higher and the breathing is getting rough, should I call the healer for him? I can't be held accountable until the end, but what am I supposed to do?"

Marie panicked because she had seen hiro's condition worse for hours.

"Although it hasn't reached a high level yet but at least I can try."

Marie extended her hand to Hiro's chest and cast a simple healing magic.

"Armghh!"

"Damn! what am I supposed to do?"

Marie was getting more panicked because while using healing magic Hiro's condition instead of getting better was getting worse.

Marie could only sit down and hold Hiro's hand while putting it on her forehead in hope.

"Please get well soon."

.

.

.

"My head hurts a lot."

I woke up holding my head.

I realized too late that my clothes and bed were very wet.

"Is there a roof that is leaking? ah, it's impossible."

"My head is going to explode, Hm?"

I saw something under my blanket and when I lifted it up there Marie was lying down curled up.

Not to mention her clothes were so thin and wet that it made her mountain cover clear!

I glanced a little down and immediately shouted Because I had seen something I shouldn't have seen at my age.

"Ohhhh!!"

I screamed in panic and tried to stay away.

"Ouch!"

I fell to the floor.

"Ehh?"

I tried to stand up but I didn't know why it felt like I didn't have the strength to do it.

Marie woke up to the sound I made.

"Mr Hiro are you okay!? what about your body!? please don't move, you need to rest!"

I lowered my head to strengthen the faith so as not to get out of control.

"From that did I do anything to you?"

"Eh? why are you asking me that?"

"My bed is wet and you are beside me in such clothes!"

"What clothes do you mean?"

Marie looked puzzled for a moment before looking at herself in the mirror.

"M–sorry!"

Marie ran out but in just a few minutes she was back.

He was only wearing thin clothes and looked very messy maybe he just changed his clothes and immediately rushed here.

He also brought men's clothes.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

I intended to take the clothes but Marie passed me and undressed me.

"What are you doing!?"

"By your clothes, look you've been very wet."

I took the clothes.

"Now you go to your own room and clean yourself you're pretty wet."

"Understand but please remember that you made me wet like this, and allow me to prepare warm water so you can take a bath."

What have I done!?

Marie went into the bathroom and started preparing the water then helped me to get in, because she started talking about rubbing my back I immediately told her to come out.

"Ahhh~ is so delicious, I don't do anything but I feel so tired."

"And what exactly happened? why is Marie in my bed and soaking wet in clothes like that!? did I get drunk and do it? no it's impossible I never drank alcohol so what really happened!?"

After soaking for a long time I felt a little calm and my energy filled up a little.

I was finally able to walk well despite being a little dizzy.

I got dressed and came out, at the door Marie was waiting in her maid outfit.

"Umm Marie did I do anything to you last night?"

"Hmm? what do you mean?"

"Hahhhh!! thank goodness!! Good, me!"

"Ehh!? is there a problem!?"

"Uhuk no, let's eat the dining room."

"Understand."
