The Sended's

Chapter 14: The Demon for Us All

《Kringgg!!!》

The sound of a bell ringing signaled that lunchtime was about to start, I stretched my body by raising my hand up. Then I heard a voice other than the bell.

《Shelf!》

The voice came from my left side, the girl named Ryuu who had been sitting straight while closing her eyes now her head was lying on the table causing a loud enough sound

I was a little worried, who would have thought he was just asleep...

Because of this too, Ryuu woke up and rubbed his eyes, he looked at me and asked

"Have you come home, huh..?" said

"Not yet!! It's just a break!!" I said pissed

Eh.. wait a minute.. Did he start a conversation with me? So he was just sleepy?

"Kyouka!" call Sayaka and her friends from the outside who invite me to lunch

"Yes" I answered

I actually also wanted to take Ryuu, but when he went back to face him he had slept again with his head lying on the table

Come on, I'm leaving, maybe he's still sleepy

We walked through the hallway filled with large groups belonging to the highest rank, on the first day indeed I felt uncomfortable with these groups, but now I was used to it

We arrived at the park for lunch, sitting us in a circle so that we could easily look at everything.

"Kyouka, you're sorry for sitting next to the girl this morning huh..," said Sayaka.

"Eh? It's okay, after all, during the lesson he was just sleeping" I replied

"He's an Ace who survived the North, right? Is he okay..," said my friend worried.

"Just calm down, it seems like he no longer cares about it," I replied back

While joking with my friends, I saw Ryuu walking alone in the second floor hallway. Many groups there were staring at him with a condescending look

However Ryuu looks relaxed not even caring about them and walks as usual

The next day as I, Sayaka, and the other friends were enjoying our lunch, Ryuu walked back in the second floor hallway. But this time there is something different from the treatment of one group there.

One from the large group stopped Ryuu's path and looked like he was challenging it, with Ryuu's leisurely looks nodding in approval. Even though I can't hear their conversation anyway....

Ryuu walked ahead followed by dozens of groups of the third rankers. Yes, the one challenging Ryuu was the third rank

He was a teenage boy who had a large group, he was also the strongest person other than the other two Aces who were ranked number one and two

"Sorry Sayaka, everyone, I have to go to the toilet" I said suddenly after seeing Ryuu

I was worried about him because it was possible that the third ranker and her group were doing strange things to Ryuu, even though we had both started a conversation before.

"Well, don't be long, otherwise I'll spend " said Sayaka.

"Yes" I said, standing up and leaving my friends

I ran through the park and a long hallway filled with groups along the way. Until I finally arrived at the back court where it is usually used for shooting practice

Although it is named after the field, but this place is very spacious even many times more than the academy building itself

That's natural because field practice is better than the material in the room, right? Moreover, this is a school intended for the military

There were already dozens of academy students on the outskirts of the field, while within the field there were only two people, Ryuu and the third ranker

The two of them were holding rifles that were usually used for training, until now I still did not know what they were going to do

These two men walked to the opposite corner of the field, in these two positions were already attached targets that each of them had to shoot the target behind their opponent

Ryuu must shoot at the target who is on the third rank side while the third ranker must shoot at the target behind Ryuu

But the second distance is very far, it is very impossible to shoot the target from the initial position

So they both compete in terms of speed, because whoever moves faster must be faster to shoot and hit the target first

The match began when the coin that the rank three threw touched the ground

He immediately lunged towards the front approaching Ryuu to find a distance that could be used to shoot his target

In contrast to him, Ryuu remained silent there, slowly raising his rifle with one hand, and shooting it

Everyone was shocked to see him, they thought that Ryuu was so stupid for trying to shoot from such a distance

I also thought like that until I saw the target that was on the third rank side, the target was shot right in the middle of it

"Is it done?" ryuu said quietly but I could hear it

"Yes, I admit defeat," replied rank three with a satisfied smile

It turned out that the strength of an Ace was indeed not to be underestimated, not even Ryuu. Despite his nature, he managed to survive the war in the North right?

But not until there the thing that surprised me, Ryuu's next words made me even more surprised

"Next, I think I will ask something more useful to the God." he said softly.

He said of the Gods and the abilities given by him, is he the same as me?

I ran towards him on the sidelines, he was putting his rifle back on the sidelines

"Ryuu!!", I shouted

"Mujiwara.... Kyouka huh? What's the need?" ask Ryuu

"This is important, are you. lest also be called to this world?" much

The expression on his face answered my question, he was shocked when he heard this question. His red eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly

But all that only lasted for a while, he smiled and came closer to me. His smile was quite horrible as well, I got goosebumps looking at him

"So that's it? You were sent here as well" Ryuu said

"Y-yes, God sent me a while ago," I replied

"Let's enjoy our school days, Ryuu," I said

"Ahahaha", he laughed

Right too, I've only seen Ryuu so happy like this. I'm so happy about it, but what's she laughing for?

"What a shame, Kyouka. Looks like I have another plan on our five occasions" he said

"Do you have a purpose?" much

"Yes, that goal is nothing but to be like the one who sent me into this world" Ryuu said to my surprise

"You want to be..... God...?", I asked

"Yes right, it must be fun, right? Become that God" he replied again

Is he crazy? He wants to challenge the Gods? What for anyway?

"Well, I just don't like anyone who's above me and treats me like it, I live my own life. While he was, he was willing to destroy my successful first life,"

Even though I don't know what it means, I still try to listen to it further

He tells about his first chance, all he went through to rule the world and become a God

To the point where all his efforts were in vain, as if someone had messed it up

"Do you understand Kyouka? There is no way that UOMA will strike that fast, nor will my position suddenly be replaced that quickly. All of this must have been his doing, he prevented me from ruling the world because it would have disturbed his existence,"

I see.he blames the gods for his misfortune, but in retrospect it is true that such a thing might happen

Moreover, UOMA attacks, even though not until one day they just declared war

Even for a layman like me....

So Ryuu is experienced in a war?

"Kyouka, I want to invite you to conquer this world," he said seriously

"Eh? Ah, but. l-i..."

Somehow his seriousness prevented me from rejecting this invitation, and somehow I agreed to it

But why did he suddenly become such a spirit huh?

"Ryuu, why didn't you do that before?" much

"It's because I'm still bored by what's happening in the North, and then I'm excited to see you again" he replied

Happening in the North? Whatdoes thatmean?

"Do you want to know what happened in the North?" ask Ryuu

I nodded

"Heeh.it was an incident where my superiors were incompetent in giving orders, our frontline troops were inexplicably told to retreat when Nonna attacked. That's another oddity just like the senseless UOMA attack,"

When the Nonna Revolution attacked the Empire, the General ordered troops to leave the front lines and the region in front of the mountains. Though the region was very suitable to withstand the pace of the forces of the Nonna Revolution

Ryuu who did not take orders of the superior instead went forward alone, he finished off the troops for the sake of Nonna troops he met with rifles or even with his hands directly

He finished off one enemy division and returned to the main base a few days later, his clothes already so black from fighting day after day there. His body was also filled with blood and dust, but not his blood

The rifle was so hot that even Ryuu's own palm was injured by the heat

Arriving at the headquarters he was approached directly by his superiors, Ryuu will soon be scolded by him

"Hey, Private Ryuu!!", he snapped

But he had not been able to continue his words, Ryuu dropped his weapon and left his superior. He told her he would quit the military

He went through a blizzard that cold night, nowhere among his military friends and where Ryuu is today

Hence the massacre he was nicknamed 'The Devil' by his enemies and even his own friends
