The Core of Evil
Rodrigo Space's
{{{ The next day }}}
{{ Rodrigo Space, General spaceship }}
{ACCESS ACCEPTED}
{WELCOME INSIDE VIP CLASS 7 RODRIGO SPACE, AZURE} TRIBUNE
This space ship is different
I thought Amitha would force me into that ancient rocket again and make me land there by hitting the surface of the planet like before
But instead, he rented a ticket for me to go to that planet as a 'tourist'
Looks like he told me to relax on that boring planet. I'm so confused whether he's attentive or not
...
Furions
The planet is purple when viewed from far away
The entire flora and fauna looks very strange there compared to Terra. Compared to the green soil of various colors on our planet, Furion has a purplish-colored soil and everything there looks colorless far from purple
Is there anything bluish? It's purple. Is there a yellow? It's also purple. All the animals and plants looked as if they were stabbed to a purple swell by something
That's why I call the planet boring, even if to some tourists, it looks alien
Terra people love to see new things. Especially when in Terra, most areas began to be restricted access, unlike planets like Furion which is 95 percent free from Malefic
It's just...
Only the rich have enough power to go into space. Middle and upper class people would not be able to afford tickets to space like this without having to sell their homes
You have to be a millionaire to board this ship in the general class. Please imagine the price of the VIP class in your own mind
The design of this room even looks very luxurious. The walls were lined with fine objects that I wasn't too sure what, and the golden-colored carpet was tucked all over the floor of this room as a stand
I can take my shoes off this way, but it must be cold because of the AC
"Amazure!!"
The voice called out to me from the end of the room until my eyes were fixed on the two people I knew and the only one in there. Jay and Jun, sitting on the couch comfortable and calling me to come closer
Heh. It seems better now
There's no one but us here, and there's a bottle of wine there that I can gulp
I took a place to sit on the big couch, right between Jay and Jun, while my eyes remained glued to the wine on the table
But I had not yet placed my hand on the wine bottle in the ice bucket, Jun suddenly grabbed it and placed it on the side of the table farthest from all of us
"You're still 16. Don't even try"
"Sad. As if you were a saint"
"Because of that experience I don't want you to imitate what I did, Azure"
Hmph. The one who started drinking wine since he was 14 turned out to be able to ban me apparently
Jun turns to Jay who looks busy playing his game console while folding his legs up on the sofa and occasionally arranging his glasses down
"What about you Jay? Want a glass with me?" He offered it to Jay
"I will refuse. I don't really like wine" Jay refused
"It's just because you were drunk when we first tried it" I interjected
"Oh come! We agreed we won't talk about it again!"
...
Jun was a little lethargic about receiving that information, so the first one to come out of his mouth was a stupid question
"Wait, have you ever had a drink??"
"Argh! Of course it's a teacher! But this one midget kid forced me to come along!"
Wh-!
"Huh?? Who are you calling a midget basic glasses?!"
"What's wrong with wearing glasses??"
"Because your eyes are four! Look at my healthy eyes and be jealous!"
I rubbed him by widening my eyes at him, until he looked furious and clenched his teeth
"I wonder why you guys like trouble?" Jun commented between us
"Eitherway. These glasses always start first"
"Huh? You have a problem what try a midget!"
Hmph. It's exhausting trying to fight with him
I'd better ask you about something useful
"Teacher. Did you bring a laptop? My last laptop was blown to pieces by someone's fault"
Jay snorted at my words, but dared not argue knowing he would lose
Meanwhile, Jun unhesitatingly immediately pulled out a portable module
In short, this module is a bag that can shrink and compress into the shape of a small box. It is very practical to carry some objects such as clothes or other equipment that is enough in the module room
The module held by Jun was as large as a regular 3x3 cm cardboard box
From inside he pulled out a laptop and happily handed it over to be run by me
"Want to see the news?"
"so. Watching together also feels more comfortable than using a personal mobile phone"
"..."
"..."
All right, let's get the news I want
{Web management: ⁇ }
{Web search: Planet Suthon News ⁇ }
Now let's see...
"Suthon Planet?" Jay, who was curious, asked me
"Yes. I'm looking for the news because yesterday I heard there was a Maledict who attacked the planet and kidnapped someone"
"Who?"
"I heard his name was Raggot Roper. The man was famous as a captain of the highest forces in the Suthon caste. Look at this"
Jun and Jay then shift their bodies to take a closer look at the news
{ Latest Suthon News : The news that the disappearance of Raggot Roper who was kidnapped by 2 Maledict people has spread to all corners of the universe. The combined forces of the majority of planets that have life today are conducting investigations and searches
Rumors circulated that the two Maledicts suddenly appeared on the planet Suthon and immediately attacked Raggot mercilessly. Through several testimonies, the two Maledicts took the form of a human who came from the planet Terra. When the leader of the Terra empire was questioned on this matter, we got the following statement
'Based on eyewitness testimony, and some of the footage we got, our investigation team was only able to identify one of the two Maledicts. Specs, which have silver hair and eyes that look tired'
'The Arcadia space fleet from our empire has confirmed that one Maledict is a former Venia, the highest rank in the fleet'
Emperor Therion of Terra claimed that Maledict had the full name of Hector Misleif, a former of the highest rank in the Fleet, widely known as Arcadia
'The Arcadia parties will look for the best solution to trace back Hector who has lost his track for quite a long time', said the emperor}
...
Hectors...
Hector Misleif's...
...
Me and Jay faintly started glancing towards Jun who looked limp
The reason his condition looks bad right now is only one: The fact that Hector is his old friend and Amitha
"I didn't think I'd find you again, even if it was just a news story, old friend..."
...
Jun once told me that all of Arcadia's fighters were implanted with a special chip in the back of their necks
A chip that can tell the condition, place of existence, and record the voice of the member
But, Hector...
He was a Maledict from birth like me...
One day when he lost control due to that core, he finished off the more than 50 combat members who tried to capture him, before completely disappearing without a trace
The last time Jun could track him was on the planet Grawe. Only, Jun only found a chip that had been completely removed from Hector's neck on a stone there, covered with blood that had been seen drying
...
Might as well...
"June..."
"... Why?"
Suppose that...
"If I lose control like it's someday, don't hesitate to slash my head"
...
...
"I can't imagine I'm capable of doing that, my son..."
...
Her tears started to flow down
The regret he felt as a result of that incident, and mixed with the shadow that I could have fared just like Hector...
His heart is really sick now...
My teacher who is a tough fighter, actually has the softest heart I have ever met
It was he who saved my life when my father died, making sure that what happened to Hector would not happen to me to everyone
And as he said about his life
'One of my friends changed. One of my friends disappeared. And one of my friends is gone. You will not be the fourth or follow the three fools'
...
She slowly began to hug me without me noticing. Jay who was just watching also began to look pity at the sight, as I returned Jun's embrace
"Don't-Tell that thing again... There won't be any bad luck that can befall you while I'm alive, Azure...
Sure is! I'll make sure---you can live comfortably as a soldier in this fleet!"
...
"Thank you, teacher"
But you have to understand too...
The chances that I'll go crazy like Hector are not zero...
So that's why, if that day comes, I'd better die. Dead in the hands of my loved ones, any of you three who have supported me all this time
...
Hectors...
Amitha also really wanted to see him again, even though she never clearly told him
If there's one day I can catch you, Hector, I'll make you talk to your two remaining friends
Sure. Even if it's the last thing I'll do, I'll make you at least go back to your friends...
...
"Alright, it's finished the sad moment! How about we just have this wine?"
"I told you not to??"
Well, hurry him if I've been acting
"Remove your tears first. You don't look serious warning me with a face like that"
"Well... You made him cry, and now you're actually mocking him?" Jay interrupted
"At least you can see that he looks funny right now, right?"
Jun sniffed at my words, before wiping away his tears
"That's why you can't!"
"Come on! Just one glass, teacher!"
"No! If this is the case, then I'll spend it!"
"Did? Uh-h! Don't be like that!"
We both started grabbing each other's bucket of ice with the bottle of wine as hard as we could while Jay was watching while recording using a cell phone he took out of his pants pocket
Ahaha-This guy is crazy for his strength!
"All right, I give up! I also don't want to spill this expensive wine just like that!" I spontaneously removed the bucket until Jay hugged him as tightly as possible
"Don't touch!"
"Whatever! You stingy!"
"It's not a stingy issue or not"
"Arcadia Fleet News... A pair of teachers and students again fight because of trivial things"
"Hey. I CAN HEAR YOU STUPID!"
Everyone really pisses me off today...!
"Amitha would love to see this"
"You really sent him!?"
A-
As long as I look unhappy with what Jay has just done, Jun on the other hand just chuckles at our behavior
"Nothing funny here! Amitha will make fun of both of us later! Specific me!"
I who started grimacing it actually made Jun's laughter even louder
"It's okay. Only at such times can you see Amitha who looks not too serious"
"I know! But that's it later...!"
No!!!
He will make this the material to mock me for an entire month!!
"Get me out of this misery!!" I grimaced with resignation
"Aahaha! Amitha will be even more vulnerable to you if she sees your condition like this!"
"Stop that teacher! I resigned!! Whatever I do now will be of no use!!"
"Send..."
...
...
...
"JAYY!!!"
"slowly. Amitha's seen the second video"
Curse you!!
"'The boy looks like a monkey in a video I found', he said"
All right, that's enough!
"Give me your phone right now!!"
*BAM!!*
Uh-h?
...
...
...
"You heard that voice, didn't you...?"
...
My two friends simultaneously nodded, after confirming that we had not heard wrongly
That loud voice...
Can't be blamed anymore...
...
It was an explosion
And just as we were about to start checking, the entire power supply on the spacecraft suddenly went out, leaving us in a very dark room
