《Heroes of the Collapsing World》Chapter 7: Direction
Advertisement
Author note: It might be too late but here is the author note. i should have put this since prologue but.... i forgot about it existence.
First of all, thank you for reading this. I'm still a beginner and make a lots of mistake. So i will be grateful if you point out my mistake. Recently my this story got rated by Tivanenk. I appreciate the critic and thought about it for a day.
The lack of one main character is true however that was because i'm trying to make all of them the main character. The other two are the real problem. Maybe i should make a character list so everyone become able to understand their character?
anyway enjoy the chapter. Though they are discussing again......
Edit note: Edited.
“Now that I see it again from close, its big isn’t it.”
“Yeah, if you compared to normal human this Orc was almost twice our size.”
“Eh? Yours is half of this? That was still quite big you know.”
“What are you talking about? You’re also half of it size.”
“No, no, no, if you compare it with mine it’s like comparing yakult bottle with mineral bottle.”
“Ah, so that’s what you’re talking about.”
Hans lightly laugh from realizing what Huke was talking about all this time.
Yuu who heard their conversation can’t help but felt amazed.
“You two, what are you doing there? We’re about to start.”
Selia called out the two.
“Ah, sorry we were just comparing out Pe… GYUHA!!”
“Moron……”
Selia forcedly close Huke’s mouth by punching his left chest. Huke who was punched fell into the ground holding his chest.
“Ka, kahak., kahak. A- Air!”
“Now let’s us decided what we will do from now on.”
Thinking that he deserved that, Yuu ignored him and started the discussion.
Although at this point discussion might be useless he had to do it because of the high number of people in this group. He believed that democracy was the best choice for this situation.
In a group discord is a thing that must be avoided.
“You might have noticed this but, staying here is not a good idea. Monster similar to Orc might come to us again.”
The other agreed on this one.
“That’s why I think we should discuss on where we should go, and what are we going to do. I know that we already discussed the latter. But after what we had been just now I think that some of you might change your mind.”

After that shocking discovery, Yuu realized some of them might change their opinion about this world. Saying that they changed their mind might be hard for some people. That was why Yuu made a chance for them.
“Urm, from the direction isn’t it fine if we go the other way from where the Orc came from?”
Because it was hard to talk about the latter, Mike chosen the first topic. Yuu thought that he was someone who rather had a thin presence. So he didn’t guess that he would give his opinion.
However his opinion was shot down by Keynest.
“That’s wrong. If you want to go somewhere safe then we should go the opposite direction.”
“Your reason?”
Keynest lightly lifted his glasses from being asked.
“That’s simple if you looked at its stomach.”
The word stomach immediately reminded Yuu of the corpse. So Yuu chose to stay quiet, in case he was wrong.
“It stomach…… Don’t tell me you!!”
The teacher was furious from hearing his student said something inhuman. Yuu changed his direction and saw a small wound on the Orc’s stomach.
“So that’s what he was doing…”
There was a small wound that looked like it navel, except that it was open and wider.
At first glance no one would noticed it because they would thought it was it navel. However now there was green blood around it and fly going around near it wound. There was an evidence on someone opened it using rough object.
Curious souls such as Huke, and Teena peeked into the navel only to saw similar meat like the one that was threw up before.
“Hoho, so this’s the inside of stomach.”
“Feel… like… puking…”
“Then don’t peek!”
Yuu wasn’t like them. He didn’t feel like seeing that kind of corpse again if possible.
“What the hell have you done!?
Once again James scolded Keynest.
“Human is a creature that will do anything to fulfilled their curiosity.”
“That doesn’t make sense. You should respect the dead!”
“Then why don’t you bury them before instead of avoiding it because of the smell?
“T- That is…..”
James was unable to talk back because that was the truth. Although most of them already gotten used to the smell he was the only one that refused to get closer because he was disgusted.
Keynest who was blessed with intelligent noticed that. Unlike James who minded about thing such as smell and appearance, he didn’t mind about it.
Yuu impression of him was a young scientist, who wanted to know the world mystery.

Keynest had a high curiosity he previously used to study. However because of that he somewhat developed a blunt personality that didn’t care about other’s feeling or respect.
“That doesn’t matter right now, the things is that…!”
“Now, now, please calm down teacher.”
Lumine interrupted James and tried to avert his attention. Because if she didn’t things won’t proceed, she was successful.
Yuu was impressed how skillful she was on handling James.
Lumine sent an eye signal to Ophie saying that they should continue.
With the bother gone, Yuu continued the discussion.
“So why did you think we should head toward the direction the Orc came from?”
“It’s simple. It came here with that inside of it stomach. Unless they were annihilated there should be a place where human live.”
“At least that’s better than moving around aimlessly… Then it’s decided.”
Moving on, Yuu discussed about their lack of man power.
“If we preceded there the possibility of encountering another monster is high, and the only man power we have to fight them are only Feral and Hyodou.”
“So you’re telling us girls to fight? Is that what you’re trying to say?”
The one that voiced her displeased was Ophie, the girl that looked similar to Lumine with black hair. From her tone she was clearly didn’t like where this going. Even when talking to Yuu who was older than her she didn’t hide it.
However, Yuu was used to handling this kind of situation. In the student council he had gained many experiences on handling people who weren’t cooperative.
With a calm air, Yuu handled her.
“No. We won’t do that for now.”
Ophie’s eyebrow twitched.
Lying would made them in bad situation later. That was why he chose to explained his reasoning first.
“Later you girls might be added. However not it was impossible because we lack weapon.”
That moment,Yuu showed club that was used by the Orc.
“I’m thinking about splitting this into few pieces and distribute them to someone that has battle experience.”
The club Yuu was holding was around two and a half meter. Even if it was split cleanly he predicted that only around six to seven people will get their share.
“Obviously we men are the priority, although if there is someone whose better I don’t mind giving it them.”
Yuu plan was as the following.
First he wanted to secure men power to fight again the monsters. Normally he didn’t need to do this because there already two dependable people who was capable of fighting. If only one of them was not a problem.
Therefore he figured out an alternative. To secure the unstable men power he fill it with the other men. If they had at least a normal strength and coordination skill, they could cover Feral’s instability with teamwork and number.
By normal situation, no one would volunteer in this reckless plan where death was possible without proper training. However in the end human was afraid of death and guilt.
They will want to hold a weapon to secure their own safety. Yuu used that lure them with the condition of cooperating. As long worst possible situation didn’t occur, they will obey.
“I see. Then I don’t have anything to complain.”
Pleased with the outcome, Ophie played with her hair.
“The capable candidates in this group are me, Hans, Huke.”
“Then from us Raisen, Kevin, and Icarus.”
The middle school representative, Keynest decided.
“Is it fine not to include the adults?”
“Hohoho, don’t worries about old men like us. Even if we get the weapon we won’t be any use anyway.”
Mike’s worry was easily dismissed.
To be frank what Benedictus said was right. Yuu knew that among the adults, there was no one who looked suitable for fighting.
“Now, that we have decided. Feral, please.”
“Don’t expect me to help you again.”
Yuu already made a deal with him. In exchange for not forcing him to help, he would help them with this.
He knew that forcing him won’t be any good. So he decided to make use of him, and then make a situation where Feral had no choice but to help.
Slightly unwilled Feral took the club from Yuu and searched for a suitable location.
“I guess this will do.”
Feral stopped in front of a big rock. After deciding that it was sufficient Feral made a stance, and raised the club high.
“……”
He took a deep breath, then immediately he swung his arm down toward the rock. The club made a loud sound then broke into two. After that he used his hand and broke it more into three pieces each.
He didn’t have any difficulty doing that. To him it was at the level of normal person breaking three stacked chopsticks. And so four medium size stick was made.
Yuu appraised the stick.
Each stick had different length and thickness. It surface was rough but it was still bearable but, for safety. He was whited it using a rough looking rock on the ground.
After distributing them to their owner their preparation was finish.
“Let’s go. We better reach our destination before dark!”
As if it was natural Yuu lead the group toward the direction the Orc came from.
