After Yuukai told me about the horrible history of my clan, I felt conflicted. Every proud moment that I had with my family name was tarnished by the information I received. I felt the need to fix this, but also felt like everything was my fault. That I shouldn't be born. But now it's too late, even if I kill myself right at this moment, it wouldn't fix anything.

Yuukai looked at me in my eyes, and I could feel a grand ambition from his vision. "Look, Kyuuto. Your father has huge faith in you. By letting this curse happen, he believes that you will be able to remove it once and for all, and erase the fear of the past. In doing that, we must work together,"

At that moment, I didn't understand what Yuukai was saying, maybe he had a grand plan or something, in order to defeat Yamisuke. But then he claimed that he knew about the protectors, the saviors of the land hundreds of years ago. And they are here, also in the modern world. They have returned.

But to see where they have ended up, he needs to test as many people as possible. So he ended up gathering about a hundred people whom he thought had the soul of the saviors in them. Including me, the central piece of this whole debacle.

"What if they don't want to help?" I asked Yuukai, because at that time, I was hesitant to believe that the saviors themselves wanted to help, after more than 900 years of you know... resting peacefully?

"They definitely want to help. It might be their most uncomfortable experience, but they have to help. It is inevitable," Yuukai answered, "I know that the saviors called themselves Aotori, back then they consisted of hundreds of warriors, but my grandfather told me that Aotori lead by three powerful men,"

"And one of them is in me?" I asked once again. Yuukai nodded. He explained that the youngest son of the old Ookami clan, Yamisuke's youngest brother's soul is inside my body right now. But Yuukai also found it peculiar that 'I'm not like anyone else'. Whatever that might entail.

"We have to be careful, because those who aren't one of Aotori, but still came from the past might become our enemies," Yuukai warned. I also find it very strange that a random set of people were also brought back from ancient times. I concluded that the curse was not only about reviving Yamisuke from his defeat, but also repeating history itself. So that he can once again rise, and conquer the entire land.

One of Yuukai's assistants came from the other room and reported that some of the people he saved had woken up. Yuukai then took me back there to talk to them. In that room, I saw three boys about the same age as I was. They looked confused and shocked with what they saw, a bunch of people still unconscious around them.

We first approached a silver-haired boy who kept looking at his hands, just like I did earlier. "What's your name?" Yuukai asked the boy, which is strange, because he seemed to already know the names of people, including me. But now, he seemed to not know.

"I'm... Raisuka Karito," he answered briefly. He then looked at me, and from the look of his face, he seemed to remember me or something, "where am I?" he asked, while looking around.

"You're in special school. This school was built to train students so that they will have the abilities to defeat the darkness," Yuukai answered. Up until this point, he never actually explained what kind of school this was.

"I... have to go home," Karito rose up from his bed, forcing himself to walk. Even though he still looked weak. One of Yuukai's assistants quickly held his body, but was soon pushed over by him. "I don't need your help, I don't belong here," he proclaimed.
