First Training

When Luc said, ‘you, won't work like, at Golden Luxury Hotel’, I understand. Hearing the word, Underground Prison, means that there will be another fight between us and the prison inmates. Might as well...

The execution?

Robin has repeatedly discussed prison. Why didn't I realize it and immediately agreed with Marc's offer. I'm the stupid one, I didn't ask for details.

Luc is moving deeper into the Underwall. In his hand, there was a map containing some papers. Shortly after, he looks back at me and starts to explain,

“Every time you arrive here, you will be given a document. This document, it contains the profile of the demon that is here. Why he was jailed and when his sentence will be handed down”

“And you mean, I should punish them?”

“You caught it pretty fast, Miss Dallaire. Is correct. You'll help us execute them”

“Why recruit an ordinary human like me? You alone? Can't you take care of it yourself?”

“Our power is limited. In Underwall, we have thousands of prisoners. Every day, we have to execute ten of them all. Not to mention the catch, which is still hanging around out there. If only spurred here, those out there will continue to kill humans”

Finally, we arrived at a cell numbered 2788. “Name, Ludovic Lemaigre. From the bloodsucking clans of the 7th class, the lower caste of the East. He became our fugitive, after killing three young women. After sucking their blood, he ran away for a week. He's been locked up for two years. The latest update, the results from the High Court say, he should be executed” explained Luc. A moment later, he looked back at me after that, busy reading the profile of the demon in cell 2788. “Today, is the day of its execution. And the one in charge of executing it is... Reine Dallaire, our new member” continued Luc, who ended up switching towards cell occupant 2788.

Sure, as you thought. I'm appalled. How not? Kill the demons, you say? You kidding?!

I looked at the face of the devil. Ludovic, the name of the occupant of cell 2788. The man, looking at me followed by his horrible little laugh. “Members... A human?” he said with a mocking tone. Shortly after, he heard a loud laugh.

You think this is funny?! You think humans are just low and weak creatures? Therefore, you underestimated them and killed them. Wrongfully.

“You, big one, Inmate Ludovic. Human, not what you think. A helpless creature, you say? After hearing you so, I got excited to execute you today” I got annoyed. I glanced at Luc, he looked a little smile. I hope he believes I'm not talking nonsense.

I was led into another iron room. Its area, greater than the area in the cell. At the end of the wall, Ludovic appeared with his hands and feet tied. The prison warden, who was also a demon, was seen standing guard next to the door.

Luc gave me a gun covered in Death's ashes. Before I entered this iron room, he gave me a briefing. Even so, I don't know what to do.

My mind is only one. He must have been hit by a bullet from this gun that was given to me. Inside the gun, there were only two bullets. Luc said I had to make it in two shots. If not, I will...

Die.

I prepared the horses. My hand, pointing a gun at him. It seems like I am still an amateur. The way I held the gun, followed by a trembling hand.

This is the first time I have faced a demon alone armed with a gun. I think it's more convenient if I use stone, wood or a broom. If the gun, everything looks tense than usual.

“This is your first training. Whether it works or not, it depends on you. Calm down and keep control of yourself. You can do it. Marc is impossible, recruit you if you can't do it” whispered Luc from behind the medium-sized box vent, right behind me. The rule is, if the execution is running, the door must be closed. So, I was alone with Ludovic.

I have a gun, and he doesn't. This situation, it should be more to my advantage. He's cornered. All right, focus and shoot him right away. Then, you can get out of here quickly. The smell from this Underwall was so bad that it made my breath start to narrow.

With complete confidence, I pulled the trigger of my gun. “Stupid...” taunted Ludovic. From here, my feeling is bad. Shortly after he said that, the prison warden had been killed. The warden is strangled by another demon, who is outside the execution room.

My focus on Ludovic, it's finally faltering. I looked back, where Luc was standing. “Do the execution, Rei! I'll finish that here!” luc's orders. Okay, I got it.

Now, I turned back towards Ludovic. Too bad, he was already flying towards me at high speed. He hit me with his hands as hard as a rock.

I'm fallin. On the cold iron floor. “You said, what? I wrong? Humans are not weak people?! You're just big shit. You useless human! It's disgusting! It's true that you are a victim to us! Humility man!!!” ludovic.

Goddamnit! He underestimated me again. I can't lose! Up, Reine! You see, Luc is tidying up the rest. And you, just have to exterminate Ludovic so that everything can go back to normal.

I'm not giving up. I raised my body with the remaining strength. But it happened again. This time, Ludovic attacked me from the left. He flew and hit me many times.

Devil sucks.

For the third time, I fell. Fall again and fall. Under such circumstances, I feel like I failed to show Ludovic that humans are not inferior beings as he said.

Despondent. That feeling, started to mix in my heart and brain. As if, my struggle was to defend myself, like disappearing into the earth. I'mtired. And still lying on this dirty iron floor.

Luc's voice trying to wake me up, it still doesn't sound. My body does not want to move one bit. In fact, Luc is overwhelmed by defeating the demons of the Ludovic clan.

Help out? You said you were expecting help? No, Rei. You can do everything yourself. Because you, are not a weak human being.

For a moment, I saw Robin's smiling face towards me. If he were here, everything would be done. He will protect me.

“Reine!!!” luc shouted from outside the execution room. Then, I saw, Ludovic was dancing happily. He's waiting, his herd's done beating Luc. Then, he will be free from the Underwall.

Nah! That can't happen. I won't let Marc down. Luc's voice, it finally reached my ears. Finally, until.

With the remaining energy, I tried to stand back up. Just battered, it's common. Then I remembered what Marc said. About my life, which he'll guarantee.

“Whatever and however you are, I will never escape. I'll always know, every single thing you do. I'll protect you, as long as you're here. Near me. So, you just have to wait and survive”

I just have to wait and hold on, don't I? So, I immediately put the gun back with the bullet, still complete. Although Ludovic still seems to take me lightly, I don't care.

Because, the thing I have to do is not to show you how strong I am. All I have to show him is that every demon is guilty, and he is the one responsible for his guilt. Even in the afterlife.

“Convict 2788, Ludovic Lemaigre, you are sentenced to death for the murders you have committed on three humans. December 10th, exactly two years ago. Today, your execution. May the sky, receive Abumu” I said with full readiness. He was ready to attack again. And on the count of three, just as he spread his wings to fly towards me...

I pull the trigger!

Duars!

Duars!
