《Magical Girl Selector》Chapter 6: Yoshida
Advertisement
The time is 8:00 AM. Ever since entering the school, Lexar knew that his body's instinct was correct. At the moment Makoto went through the school gate, he felt like passing through a curtain and concluded that it is a barrier or something near. The wicked aura inside the barrier has completely covered the whole school. His sense of danger has been alarming him non stop, reminding him that he is already in enemy territory.
Firstly he decides to start with exploring the school. Thankfully, this place plants a lot of trees and bushes around, allowing sneaky operation for a cat. From eavesdropping the student's conversation, this school seems normal on the outside. Based on his memory, the cat goes to the places that appeared in the nightmare but does not find anything. No sign of blood, no suicide jump, no fire. Everything is completely normal.
While troubled with no clue, the school bell rings loudly. Several students still outside school hurriedly pass through the gate. At the back of the crowd, a male student enters his eyes. In contrast to the hurried crowd, he just walks normally and even slows down just before the gate. He has been looking down all the time with a worried expression. What catches Lexar's attention is in his heart, a burning black flame. It is as big as a torch and fire cracking sound can be heard even from a far distance.
Right after the boy passes the gate, the flame suddenly intensifies and covers his entire body. The exploding sound takes the cat by surprise, scaring him off the hidden place. However, nobody reacts and seems unfazed by the fire. They only pay attention to the animal suddenly running out from the bush.
Lexar runs fast far away from the gate. Not only to escape from the curious students and guard but also the black flame. The human are unaffected by it but to him, that flame is full of malice and sickening. He felt that his mind would go crazy if he stayed and watched it any longer. After safely reaching a tree in remote area, he finally calms down but his heart is still beating like crazy.
(What the hell is that thing? Is it the reason for all those things in the nightmare?) Lexar asks himself while trying to shake off the disgusted feeling.
He finally gets a clue yet cannot do anything. That male student probably has entered inside the building and he cannot even come close to observe his action. While thinking what to do, a piece of information about his ability surfaces inside the head.
"Clairvoyance" He slowly mutters.
His vision suddenly spins around at amazing speed. After recovering from the car sick feeling, he finds himself right behind that male student. Moreover, his sight's height is now the same as the boy. His vision automatically follows behind as the student moves. It was his ability "Clairvoyance", which allows its user to observe the target from far away within a radius of one kilometer with the "normal" eyes. The proof is that the black flame is not seen anymore. Such information was obtained from his body.
At the moment, Lexar is shocked at the idenity of his body. Orginally, he thought it was a normal cat but many things until now disprove that. Not only superior physical ability, the eyes have different special abilities. The eyes used from the beginning are the "Potential eyes", used to detect the hidden potential inside a person. There are also "Clairvoyance eyes" just now and normal eyes. It is also hinted that there are also different eyes that I can use but there are requirements to unlock it. Lexar originally thought he did not have any outstanding special power when he was "reincranated" but this situation develops like the trend in "his past".

However, this is not the time to dwelve on that. He returns focus on the student. The vision stops moving when he arrives in front of his classroom door. The class is noisy inside but as soon as he opens the door, everyone becomes quiet. They stop talking and return to their seats in silence as if a teacher just came in. The atmosphere becomes stessful with his entrance. Most students try not to make eye contact with him while some steal a glance at him with a pity feeling. Among them, there is a female student looking down. She was the one who showed up in the dream with her mouth slit and sewn with needles. Her behaviour shows a feeling of regret, shame, pained, and apologizing. She seems like trying to say something to the guy as he passes through but ends up stopping. He just goes back to his seat with an expressionless face. The teacher comes in and class starts as if nothing happens. Lexar ends up observing him an entire morning from behind without a break.
Lunch break comes. He listlessly gets out of the room then goes to his shoes locker. When he opens it, a red envelope with a drawing of a skull on it is inside. He starts shaking lightly and at the corner of his sight, two guys are approaching him. Suddenly, he dashes off and pushes the guys away violently. He runs toward the stair and climbs up. Unfortunately, two male students already stood there and ambushes him. They drag him inside the restroom and punch him with no mercy. After getting several hit, the bullied one starts fighting back by slamming his body toward a guy with open blazer. A loud thud sound echoes in the restroom as the back slammed against the wall. The other bad guy firmly hold the bullied one’s arm, restraining him. The two from down stair arrives at the toilet and help with restraining. The gang push the poor guy toward one of the booths, grab his head toward the toilet and flush it. The bullied one struggles furiously, but to no avail.
After a few of minute resistance, the boy stops moving and his body dangles in their restaint. They become worried and check whether he is alive or not. Giving several punches on the back, the body is still limp without reaction. The bullying group are now scared and relax their grips, pulling the head out.
However, in the next moment, the boy displays his strength by strongly turning back and breaks free from the restraining. The eyes become bloodshot and his expression is full of fury. The gang are stunned and one of them with a red head gets hold by the head, slamming toward the booth. A loud bang sound with broken bone is heard. Blood stains the wall as the red hair slides down. The rest of them finally recover but gets taken by surprise again. Not missing the opportunity, the bullied one again slams another two with the same result.
*Bang* *Bang*
The open blazer guy steps back in fear after witnessing the scene. He was furthest from the boy so he escaped the sudden attack. But that only spells his crueler fate. With the new strength, the tattered student rushes toward him in a blink of eye and grabs his neck. Forming a cruel smile, he throws his remaining enemy with the neck targeted at the edge of the washing sink. *Creak* It is a small sound but it spells an end of a life. The neck is bent at the strange degree and the target died without being to make a sound.

Perhaps realizing what he has done, the bullied one becomes shocked and scared as he looks at his hands. Multiple loud footstep sound can be heard from outside. He swings the door open then runs away, toward the stair going up. His mind only screams one word: run, run, run.
Reaching the rooftop, he finally stops and crouches down while taking heavy breath. Unfortunately, soon after that, he hears noise coming from behind. Seeking a place to hide away, he looks around but there is nothing. As the noise from behind becomes louder, he grits his teeth, approaches the fence and climbs over.
The crowd arrive at the rooftop and what greets them is a scene in which a student leans his back against the fence. Most of them are students while the rest are teachers. They are shocked by the development and panic. The teachers try to calm down but some students become agitated and start yelling at the teachers. Some students take out their phones to be ready to take pictures or record the scene while the other exchange among themselves. It becomes a chaos until a teacher comes out with a loud “Quiet!”, silencing the crowd. He comes out to the front and speaks to the student on the opposite side of the fence.
"Yoshida-kun!" The teacher calls out to him.
There is no reply to his word.
“Yoshida-kun, please calm down. You should not do anything rash. Things have already become bad but the situation can still be fixed. We can still talk over.” The teacher says in calm voice.
Yoshida remains silent with his back on the fence.
“I know that our class and I are at fault for letting this happen. We are very sorry for making you suffer through that. Apology may not be enough to make up for you but we will try our best to mend our fault. You do not have to worry about Shindou group. We will protect you from them.” The teacher continues persuading Yoshida.
“As expected of words from a bunch of hypocrites.” Yoshida responds without turning back. “You all cowered in fear when the Shindou group contacted you on the matter then turned a blind eye to any mishap that fell on me. You even covered for them when people investigated this matter. I bet some of you have been licking their boots and happy with me being tortured.” Yoshida sneers at the teacher and his classmates.
Outsider students become shocked at such revelation and look at the teacher and some students. A girl behind the speaking teacher covers her face and crouches down while weeping. His classmates look down and feel ashamed.
“We were in the wrong, Yoshida. I will not ask for forgiveness but please treasure your life. Your parents will not be happy with this.” The teacher changes his approach to convince Yoshida.
“How dare you talk about my parents! The Shindou group already killed them and it was all thanks to you!” Yoshida finally snaps and turns his face back, shouting at the teacher.
The whole crowd become speechless. The crying girl has already stopped and the teacher remains in silent.
“I don't know why that Shindou Kazama have gone so far just to destroy me. I just only stopped him from raping Kamishiro and he paid me back by taking everything from me. My friends, my scholarship, my student life."Yoshida starts listing out his misery.
"And now he took my family away! That arson yesterday was all his doing." He screams out his anger.
His classmates and some students gasp at such revealation. The people who support Shindou Kazama argue back "What kind of shit are you spewing? There is no way Shindou-sama will do those things."
"Yeah, just because Shindou sama bullied you a little bit, you can't spread out such accusation?" A female student talks back.
Many voices support the stand that Shindou Kazama is innocent and Yoshida is just a low grade liar that is jealous of him.
"Hahahahaha!" However, Yoshida is not taken back by the words throwing at him.
"Can you hear all of this, god? This world is really trash after all. Everyone is supporting such wicked bastard. This whole world system is supported by the dumb mass who support the corrupted evil." Yoshida suddenly speaks out incomprehensible things. "Oh god, please save this world by purging these people. Please forgive me, a misguided sheep in this wicked world, for doubting me. Please allow me to compensate for my sin by offering my life to you."
After saying his prayer, he jumps down from the roof with his head down. With clayvoraince, Lexar can see his face filled with madness of a cult believer. Even while falling, he is still laughing non stop.
The sight immediately disconnects and Lexar realizes that he is back to the tree. Not understanding the situation yet, the surrounding starts to change. A red column of light appears and pierces through the sky. The whole world starts being dyed in red and silence comes. Hell has manifested in this school.
*Somewhere in the school underground*
"Materialization completes. Our operation is a success." The operator voice echoes the whole room.

Stranded in a foreign land, two 14-year old boys find themselves in a new world. Proxy, a battle-loving delinquent, who is seemingly rough around the edges, but whose kind, fun-loving attitude draws people to him. His ability for battle is considered top-notch, and it's only elevated by his ability to sense danger. While he is a fighter at heart, under is a child who lives in his own bubble of reality and is ignorant of the true dangers of his new surroundings. Richard, a normal teenager, whose polite, quiet, and less confrontational nature leads him to be less fit for battle but holds a desire to grow stronger, hating his own powerlessness. He is also a boy who can read the true emotions behind a person's words, but he sees this as a curse more so than a gift. His new surroundings offer danger and the threat of death, and the chance to move past his weaker self, in more ways than one. These two are caught up in an incident that sends them into another world by an item called "the black grimoire". In the land known as the Holy Lands, a land filled with people that have experienced war for several years, but are now controlled by a powerful group of bandits. Is there only danger and death waiting for them in this strange new world, or will there be more than?

8 82Neos Online (Hiatus)
Every person has a tale. A story with which a person defines the world around them. Yet the question remains, is it the person who defines the world, or the tale itself? In the case of Elijiah Pierce, it is a question that many don’t really understand the answer to. His story was thought to have ended with the ending of the Third World War. A retired super-soldier who wished to live in peace is brought back into the worlds tale as his memories threaten to overwhelm him. With psionic individuals on the rise throughout humanity, the United Worlds Council asked for a company, any company, to help deal with them. With the turning of 2234, Corellec Inc introduces a new sort of entertainment for the billions within the Sol system. A game built upon DDVR, or Deep Dive Virtual Reality. A realm built within the net allowing the players to have their playground. This would, in essence, help solve the problem. With his friends and family wishing him to try something to deal with his problems, he finds himself venturing into the virtual realm of Neos Online. The very game that had been in the process of gathering players for its Beta. It would come to pass that not only would this game change him, but it would also be changed by him. For both machine and man harbor secrets that could change the course of human history, and not every secret should be brought to light. --------------------------- I'm shite at writing synopses, so just give it a try and see if you like it.
