《The Immortal Mutant Teen》Chapter 28 - The Musician
Advertisement
Acheron had once again left chaos in his wake, nobody cared to take a look at the score, everyone that was present during his show knew that he had surpassed it long before he finished.
Acheron was seen walking towards the Music Building, those that recognized him, pointed at him as they whispered to each other about the upcoming fights, or the rumors spread about him.
Acheron arrived and entered the building, he went to the receptionist lady, got a guest passed and headed towards the elevators.
Just before he reached the elevators Acheron noticed a grand piano, with a 'needs fixing' sign on it, he turned around and went back to the receptionist lady.
"Excuse me, do you know what is wrong with that piano?" Acheron asked
The lady looked up at him, then at the piano that Acheron was pointing at,
"I don't know, someone reported something wrong with it, so we put a fix order in, someone should be here later in the day to come and pick it up"
Acheron nodded hid head,
"Do you mind me taking a look at it? He asked
"Sure, it's supposed to be already broken, so go ahead," She said before going back to what she was doing.
Acheron walked up to the piano, first, he walked around the piano inspecting its outer appearance, it was fine other than a few scratches here and there.
He opened the lid and what he found made him both disgusted and angry. There were condom wrappers, trash, and bottles between the soundboards and strings.
'Someone used a grand piano as a trash can! I curse their entire family line! May they burn in hell!' Acheron cursed the perpetrator in his mind.
He was disappointed in the school's disregard for these instruments, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened if someone was doing their job correctly.
Acheron went and grabbed a trash can, he grabbed some wipes and gloves from the janitor's closet nearby and began to clean the piano.

Acheron wasn't above getting dirty, as someone who uses music as a form of meditation to control his blood lust, he feels every instrument should be treated with basic decency and care.
15 minutes later, Acheron had finished cleaning the piano, he began to check each key and adjusting the tune if needed. Once he had made sure that everything was in proper order and working fine, he began to play it.
Akeno and Sakura had just finished with their clubs and had met up again. As they were passing the Music building, they overheard a conversation from some students that had just left from there.
"Did you that guy cleaning the piano? I think that was the famous Acheron Belau everyone keeps talking about!"
"Also, did you see all that trash? Why would anyone pick up the trash of someone else, he should've just left it for the commoners!"
Akeno and Sakura had picked up on this conversation before looking at each other,
"Let's hurry to the Music Building! I feel like Kotone-san has already made her move!" Akeno said
"Right!" Sakura confirmed
Up above on the 5th floor of the Music Building.
Kotone was had just finished playing a piece on the piano, though she played it perfectly, she still felt frustrated.
She wanted to recreate that scene where her music transcended her current skill but no matter how hard she tried, nothing happened.
She kept pestering Acheron because She wanted to make music with him, she felt that only with him would her music make a breakthrough.
While she took her break, 2 students came in talking to each other. Because she had perfect pitch, her hearing was better than a normal person, so she caught the words they were speaking when they mentioned Acheron.
"The melody that Belau student played in the lobby, really left me feeling some type of way"
"Yeah, it was good, but I prefer to listen to our Goddess"
When Kotone heard Acheron was downstairs, she stood up closed the key cover and ran out the door saying, "I apologize but I am done for the day"

The 2 students that had just arrived and were getting ready to have a seat, just froze before looking at each other,
"Look at what you did! You scared our Goddess away with that ugly face of yours"
"I may be ugly, but you are FUGLY!"
"Fuck you dude! Your whole family is fugly!"
When Kotone reached the lobby, Akeno and Sakura had entered the building, the noticed a crowd that was clapping near the corner of the lobby.
The girls walked up and found Acheron on the piano, they guessed he had been playing just now and that was the reason for the clapping.
Once they made themselves through the crowd, Acheron noticed them, he gave a nod before saying,
"One more, ill be with you guys"
The 3 girls nodded their heads, while the crowd started to whisper how he had them wrapped around his little finger since he can order them so rudely.
A slow melody began to reach them, it was beautiful, yet it gave those that heard it a sad feeling in their chest.
This time, Acheron sang in Japanese,
(So the little infant fell into a deep sleep)
(Among the grey ashes in the flames shining)
(First one, then two)
(What rise and grow large are my beloved profiles)
(What trickle down to earth are the thousands of...)
(Dreams, Dreams)
The song spread through the building and those near the building were also hearing, everyone just stood there as they were baptized by the family.
Before anyone knew it, they felt something on their face… they were crying. No matter how much they tried to wipe the tears away, they just wouldn't stop.
'This song is so beautiful" everyone thought as they continued to listen to the song.
(On the night when the silver eyes were trembling)
(The shining you was born)
(Across millions of years)
(the prayers have already returned back to the earth)
(I will never cease to pray)
(Oh please, show this child what love is)
(Please give a kiss to his hands you hold)
Acheron ended the song, he looked up the audience to see the audience looking at him with tears and snot running down their face. He smiled, stood up, and gave a slight bow to the audience.
They clapped for him, Akeno for some reason was clapping the loudest.
He walked up to the girls with an amused smile on his face,
"You need to stop crying, it makes you girls look ugly," he said to them
"You're ugly!" the shouted back
"Well Kotone, are you ready?" Acheron said
Kotone nodded, but Akeno was startled,
"Ready for what?" she said
"Kotone said she will give me a tour of the city" Acheron said
"We can give you a tour too! Right, Akeno?" said Sakura as she turned her head towards Akeno.
Noticing her friend trying to help her out, she nodded,
"Yeah, I'm sure we know places that senpai doesn't!" Akeno said,
She was relieved and thankful for Sakura, her heart broke a little when she heard they were going out on a date, not that they said it was, but it was obvious what Kotone was trying to do.
*Ring* *Ring*
Acheron's phone rang, he looked who it was before picking it up.
"Hey Rose, what happened? .... okay…. I see… ill be right there"
He looked at the girls before saying with an apologetic smile,
"Sorry girls, I have to go home, something important has come up, let's do the tour on Saturday when we are off from school, okay?" he said to them
They agreed, then Acheron left towards the school entrance where Rose was waiting for him.
Acheron didn't show up to school the next day.

The Ultimate Supporter
Mona stood there, her body has stopped shaking as she stared at Sarah with no expression. “... do I have to set a goal?” Mona asked quietly. “Yes, if you do not then you will not be allowed to play Road Builder.” “...why? Why do we have to set a goal?” “This game is about inspiring people to work hard towards something that they wish to achieve. Don’t you have something you wish to achieve too ma’am?” “... I… do.” “What is your goal then ma’am?” “My goal… my goal is to become the ultimate supporter.” Feelings rushed back into Mona’s eyes as she clenched both her fists hard. “I want to help others succeed. I don’t need to be the main character. I want other people to be the main character.” Mona yelled as tears began to stream down her face. “I just… I just want to feel needed again.” Mona sniffled. Sarah looked at her with a soft expression on her face. “Is ‘I want to become the ultimate supporter’ your final choice?” Sarah asked. Mona bit on her lip as tears continued to stream down her face. She slowly nodded her head. “Alright then… this goal has been registered onto your avatar. You will soon spawn into a town and began your journey.” Sarah smiled, her eyes illuminating warmth to Mona. Mona nodded her head understanding as she wiped away the tears. A blue circle appeared around her as numbers counting down from ten appeared in front of her. 10… 9… 8… “By the way ma’am.” Sarah said. 7… 6… “Yes?” 5… 4… “I am sure you will achieve that goal, and to guarantee that, I give you my blessings.” 3… “What?” 2… “Enjoy your time in Road Builder.” 1… ********* Please point out if you notice any mistakes so that I can fix it. Also, because I re-edit this a lot so the chapters are going to come out very slowly(and because the blue tables take a while to do). Any comments and reviews are welcomed and are appreciated!
