Human was a fooling being..i know that very well.They created a monster and expect us their kid to clean up for them......But what i hate more than anything..was that they still searching way to promote themselves ,gets more money or woman with this war...all of them were disgusting....they didn’t realize the enemy they should fought....because of that moms were dead...even she wasn’t my real parents..she was the only family i had...
It has been 2 years since i desert Earth Special force...i didn’t want to go to war again....well i was idiot myself to satisfy the monster myself .i hunt them,kill them...but it couldn’t return my mothers.
Now i was at school as mechanic.It was too help The sister who live with me ,even thought it was school ,it was given enough Units..That’s why i did a maintance with them also i get their combat data for my own custom unit...
Why?if you asked this school also taught military training and often request us to kill some monster.We are just student,but if we didn’t comply military won’t give us any supplies..that’s why in this world we must fight....in the world food and drink were scarce
we must fight.world where strength was needed..
Narrator POV
100 years ago Humans was on war that last 30 years long....considered war lasted so long ,some scientist try to end the war by make zoonic beast,a beast or an animal that has been gene manipulated...which was also the first gene modification in history.Human who were on verge extinct created Zodiac,A multi purpose mechanical armor which covered majority of your body and equipped by special O.S(Operational system) which using Species of animal,insect and even mithycal beast way of act..This system boost your overall performance and how your brain works..For example Bear program,which boost short-range ability and allow the unit too make the brain prioritize do short range attack.if anyone try to ignore it the system ability and spec would go down.,because it was an error.This was explained by A female student with long blue hair and tied with ribbon.
“ThanksMinami ,now Alya kun would you explain it more further....”(Teacher)
But no one answered ,then the teacher immediately turned back and check his seat....it was empty and the window was opened,what’s more the was a rope on it ....even an idiot would know that he was escaping drom class.
“Alya!!!!!!Today i wouldn’t forgive you.”(Teacher)
The teacher was very beautiful girl and was very different from his brother .Alya sister or Ceria Vernandes.even though she was his big sister they weren’t related at all.Today She finally get Alya go to her class,she would never let him do as he wishes..even though he was genius at math he has zero interest in history,what’s more the class she taught was also history...which mad him had no reason to go at school at all.Now as good sister she must make sure her little brother listened to her.
“Everyone today would bef study session,i have something important to do!!”(Ceria)
She immediately open the door and run somewhere else...then once 10 minutes ,the locker for cleaning tool was opened and Alya come out from there..His face was rather girlish compared to other boys..but his blue eyes was the one that made he attract other girls.after get out he sit at the most cornered seat,everyone considered he was a problem child.He always skip test and rarely attent schools what’s more he treat others people like air..that’s why no one bothers him,once he sit he immediately opened his laptop then started typing something.
No one knews what he was typing ,more accurately no one cares what he was doing..except the honor student except Minami yukki.
“Alya!!!How dare you deceive your sister like that!!”(Minami)
Minami Yukki ,she was one of top school zodiac user,what’s more her zodiac was unique one,only exist 1 in the world..because she was beautiful many man try to get close to him but failed because she always strike vital points of them.But alya continued ignoring her then he immediately close his laptop ,sit up then try to exit the classroom.but stopped because she went to front of him
“Now don’t create another problem ,sit nicely and apologize to Sensei.”(Minami)
Ignoring her,he walk past beside her which made her very angry.immediately she grab his shoulder and try to throw him to his seat because he was already too much problem for this class.immediately before she could throw him,he grabbed her hands and throw her to th ground using both of his hands.Which made everyone begin pissed of with his attitude.But alya didn’t mind it ,to him they were just another species or in gaming term, A npc.immediately he exit the classroom and many people try to help her stand up.
“Are you alright?Class leader.”(Guy)
“I am fine anyway,anyone knows here he was going?”(Minami)
Everyone looks away,they never borthered to check it.What they know was that he is little of brother of their Ceria sensei.Even Minami just recently meet him because he rarely attent school..more likely escaped.They even don’t recall the time when he hide on cleaning locker.
Alya garage ,a certain zodiac was being made ,it has been 2 years since he made it ,it was Jet black zodiac with air booster, and the rest was a a huge right claw arm and an arm with automatic rifle ,the leg was normal one ,and was added some booster on the back.Zodiac generates some barrier depended on the core.the more energy the core the higher and the longer it could generate.But a core with a higher energy was heavier and not good with zodiac that based on speed..depend on the zodiac the core would be different from each other.This zodiac core was located at its chest armor.considered the zodiac core was modified from many core,Alya could be said prodigy.
“The weaponry still far from complete but it would be enough for defeating zoonic beast. ,for now I should copy and install the O.S I just finished .and do some flight test.”(Alya)
Alya instead use common O.S ,he created it by himself.because The zodiac he created was not suited with other O.S,that’s why he created it by himself.As he copying it,he also do some maintenance to his zodiac ,after finishing the maintenance of his zodiac ,he immediately work for the weaponry. Usually,civilian wasn’t allowed to create a weapon but because Alya was adopted into vernandes he was allowed to so ,what’s more he was also often do some maintenance and often repair her sister zodiac at school.now he was creating some giant metal sword which was some weapon from zodiac back weaponry,there was also some whip and 3 beam knife. Thought it was far from incomplete for defeating other zodiac this was enough..When he heard the sound of copying was finished,he immediately sit in front of his laptop and started to install it.while he preoccupied by it ,he feel someone was coming then he draw his electric gun and point the one at behind him.
“Alya!!!!!I told you !!!Never bring electric gun like that!!”(Ceria)
Immediately the gun was taken,thinking it was only her nee-san he continued the install which made her nee-san give him chop,now considered her nee-san was angry he immediately stopped and turned around then she immediately said.
“Alya,You were student now.please act like one..”(Ceria)
She immediately grumble like her mother…,seeing that his reaction was rather simple continued installing the O.S ignoring her.
“Listen to me!!!!”(Ceria)
Another chop on his head,rub his head for a moment Alya immediately turned around once again and her nee-san immediately lecture her.
“Alya why you never went to school?It has been 2 years since you were student!!!Please attend school daily !!!!Your attendance was only 10%!!You nearly become a Myth.I know you already mastered every subject except history ,but please come to school would you?This was a nice alternative life compared being soldier at front line,beside learn some common sense would you?There was no student who escape with a robe.you are not soldier anymore okay.”(Ceria)
Ignore…..He ignoring her since the start of talk and continuing installing the O.S while thinking,women are so noisy.Her sister could only sighed….compared to other people he was too silent ,well she couldn’t understand just what was happening in his past to made a 16 years old boy like this... she was giving up for now.Then she immediately check The O.S, interested in which O.S is use,feeling that His life was at danger immediately equip the headset and listened to some music.Then the text appeared…Hydra O.S..Then she rolled her eyes out!!!
“OH my god!!!Even The O.S original!!!were you even human?”(Ceria)
She shout beside her,but thanksfully he already predict this so he wear headset…after all her nee-san shout was very loud and would disturb him.Once he finished,he immediately stand up and try to do some simple moves with Zodiac ,the reaction was faster than he Thought.Well ,it was plus anyway so he didn’t mind it.Then he immediately unequip it and want to finish his weapon so the weapon would be ready by now.but her nee-san stop him..
“….Alya,stop that and let’s go back to school and apologize to minami,I mean Cmon,you were the one who was wrong there..”(Ceria)
“Nee-san ,I told you I didn’t care about school,I just did this to fill my time..”(Alya)
“Sigh,compared to the first time I met you ,you were too hot headed but now you like a living corpse don’t you have any purpose?For example like having family or aiming to be number one in recent tournament?”(Ceria)
Alya shake his head,because he has lost his only purpose which was revenge….revenge won’t do anything it would only made someone easier to control you.even Alya was often used to kill some soldier who was betrayed them and try to run with the supply.
“Anyway,As your sister I would made you went to school!!!”(Ceria)
Once again alya was vanished in front of her,then when Ceria looking around she noticed he was continued creating the giant metal sworld which was long as his body...seeing that she immediately give her another chop…and drag her from the garage…Though the weapon wasn’t complete yet,he still do as her nee-san order..if her nee-san god mad it would be no joke.
At school.
“I apologize minami for his behaviour.”(Ceria)
As she made him bowed ,Minami only give a weird look..why he didn’t put any resistance?wasn’t he supposed to be a problem child? That was what she thought…except alya was obedient because he want to end soon and was thinking how to increase the reaction speed and other things.
“…Sensei it may be rude of me…was he mute?”(Minami)
“No,he was fine…just …ah. Alya please said something.(Ceria)
Alya only said one word.
“Okay..”(Alya)
As they wait for a moment,alya said nothing until they noticed he was already said okay..His nee-san and Minami only thinking …how lazy could you be.
Minami facepalmed…just what made him to be adopted to vernandes family who always created ace in war….sight…maybe they only adopt him because pity…not knowing the one who do a maintanance to Her sensei zodiac was him.

“Sensei,may you give me some pointer about the way I was right now?”(Minami)
“ Today,i can’t.i had something to do..i am sorry minami.”(Ceria)
“i see,i am sorry for asking you when you were busy.”(Minami)
Minami was dissapointed ,ceria wanted to help her because she was a good girl even though she often bit rash when she made decision...but she had something to do...then she remember that Alya was free ....beside his skill can’t be mentioned...well it was logical though since he was in war since 10 years old what’s more as cannon fodder..it was already miracle that he survived...but because of that his heart was cold as ice.....
Thinking more further suddenly she got an idea....whaf if he made alya teach her ,it may melt his heart a bit.
“Alya..could you.”(Ceria)
“No.”(Alya)
A rejection before she finished her question...looks like he already read what on her mind....More likely when her nee-san ask something it would be a great pain to deal with..once he remembered to buy her some kind of potato..except the potato was really big because mutation even he barely could hold it ..if he didn’t ask nearby truck driver to help him then she would need to run back from supermarket and his homes many.though the food was delicious.
“Don’t say no..it is only for one day..”(Ceria)
“No.”(Alya)
“Umm,what were you talkimg about?”(Minami)
Minami didn’t understand them ,how they get each other only by talking..
“Oh ,sorry sorry.it just i want him to teach you a little ...but he refused..”(Ceria)
“Sensei..was he really strong?He not even participated in daily training..(Minami)
“You were wrong ,this guy was mechanic.What i want was to teach you a little information for emergency.”(Ceria)
Ceria nearly slipped,if she told her Alya was good as her surely minami would challenge him which would be one-sided bullying.
“No.”(Alya)
He had no time for baby sitting..if he had time he would watch mecha anime instead…..
“Do you know?it was hard for me to go to next class or graduate because your lack of attendance.That’s why if you help me this time I wouldn’t mind for you to skip school for one month..”(Nee-san)
......1 month free her sister nagging with just teaching minami for 1 day...what a good deal, of course he would accept it.
“I accept,how about you Yukki?Would you agree with it?”(Alya)
“Depended on Program you use…I may consider it.”(Minami)
There was 3 generation program that exist until now for creating and maintenance the O.S.The first was created was basic programming the second and third was created modeled after it.It helped you by giving some correction and guidance..
“Depend on what you choose,I already mastered them all.but I would suggest with the First generation because second and third generation are suck they guide you like a baby and put limit too much,compared to first where they allow you to optimize the O.S as perfect as you could and a mistake would be easy to note because it was specific points,even a beginner would notice it..”(Alya)
“Were you an idiot !!!!!!The second and third generation have help when doing maintenance !!!compared to first generation which was too inferior.”(Minami)
Alya just shrugged his soldier and give eye contact on his nee-san .His eyes said…what should I do this idiot?She was just an user not the one created O.S why she act like the one who use it?
Ceria only smiled bitterly…she couldn’t told that she agree with her…compared to the first generation they maybe were inferior but they were easier to use and made the maintenance easier…
“Well I won’t force you,so we would go with third generation okay?”(Alya)
“I hope your teaching wasn’t inferior as your brain.”(Minami)
………Ceria could never said…the one who was prodigy …but she refrain to say it because Minami was also prodigy being user…maybe compared to Alya who was already honed in battlefield she would lose…but her talent was actually only below him.Thought Alya talent as engineer was more than enough to made him as god of battlefield.
“Nee-san see you at the dinner today.”(Alya)
“yeah.”(Ceria)
Once they bow they immediately exit the room and once Ceria left alone she immediately sighed…
“I just hope both of them won’t fight.”(Ceria)
Alya POV.
Garage
“So where was your zodiac?”(Alya)
“Eh,didn’t your nee-san told you to teach some basic?”(Ceria)
………..Why every student was an IDIOT!!! I MEAN C’MON!!! What the use for you learning how to repair and do simple maintenance over mass product zodiac of first generation!!!!You couldn’t even use any of it!!The basic?You already wasted with first generation program so why you should learn over how the first generation works?Why all of students I had ever met were an idiot ?
Well I would explain it to her…
“What was the use?No one use the first generation zodiac anymore beside their O.S was for first generation program which was very different compared to second and third generation.maybe if you study from previous generation mass production zodiac it would be fine because their program were not that different...so why you should learn the first maintenance over first generation ?You should learn how to care your unit first!!And if you had free time then felt free to do so!!”(Alya)
“Fuah!!!I couldn’t hold it anymore !!Are you mocking my family?My family was the one who created the second and the third!!!Learn some manner would you!!!”(Minami)
Oh,so it was her family that explained why the growth of zodiac become much slower…well nor I care about it…
“What I say was the truth,it was up to you to believe it or not.”(Alya)
I shrugged my shoulder again,if she didn’t want to listen to me,then please get out..it was 10000 times harder to teach a person that didn’t want to listen.
“You act so great !!but you were just frog in well after all!!”(Minami)
Were you speak to yourself?huh,So noisy………..then immediately I checked at the status of system works…reaction 150%,why it was so low?This was phoenix O.S right?it should be around 200% at least..Phoenix O.S was one of the best for Speed type Zodiac…what’s more it speed assist and radar system was the top…sight… what a waste…
“Hey who the one that optimized it?why it was only 150%?This was so slow..”(Alya)
As I hit the zodiac in front of me..
“Are fucking kidding me?This was the best work of my parents!!Beside it was the fastest!!!compared to others it was good already!!”(Minami)
Good?my ass!!!This was 1 of the legendary O.S!!!!!!!!!Even though the reaction was kinda low but it allow to self repair its system itself !!!The regenerating ability won’t change the O.S which made this one of desired O.S everyone sought!!
“If you could improve it even by 1% then I would accept you to be my teacher!!”(Minami)
“Sure .”(Alya)
Immediately I took out my laptop then connect it to the Azure Phoenix,First I would rewrite the program..next—
4 hours later…
It took longer than I though,there was too many unnecessary program on it, shortening some program and rewrite half of the weapon assistance and radar..i even upgrade the radar so it would be more sensitive to enemies…..of course there was a reason I did that,it was very rare chance to see legendary O.S after all… so I took some chance to learn it…though the radar and weapon assist wasn’t unlocked but the self regenerating system was locked…so I couldn’t learn it.well this was better..i could use some for myself…I would go home and started rewrite the hydra program.
“You finish it rather soon,I expect to be 1 day at least ,oh well let’s see what you could do.”(Minami)
She immediately ride the zodiac ,immediately the wing spread….then she immediately checked the reaction her jaw immediately opened….well the reaction now…around 400%?though it was much lower compared to others..but this was much better than before..as I close my laptop I prepared go home…then she immediately moving around and testing that zodiac at the same time.I go home before she stopping me..if she notice about I upgrade the weapon output especially the beam cannon at the back she wouldn’t let me escape so easily…there was too many upgrade I did to this zodiac…well it wasn’t the max output though…for roughly full upgrade of that zodiac I need around 3 month at least…..i was not even finish my zodiac yet…better finish it soon then create the weapons..there was too many things that I need to do for my zodiac…beside the O.S wasn’t complete yet…there was still too many flaw compared to the legendary O.S
“Nee-san ,I am home.”(Alya)
Even though our was really big...but only Me and nee-san stayed here…well Nee-san same as me …she lost her parents at young age….though the reason she didn’t hire bodyguard or maid because literally she didn’t trust others same as me though.If it wasn’t person close to us we won’t believe them,that is how we thinking are anyway..though we were both complete understand each other.by the way nee-san older than me by 2 years..for teaching license don’t ask me what she did..
Nee-san who noticed smiled at me..
“How was the phoenix O.S?Was it good?”(Ceira)
There was no need for me to answer that question,you have been watching me anyway surely you would know…immediately I go to garage….then started to rewrite some program…
“I would put food over here..”(Ceira)
Thanks nee-san you really understand me too well.
today I need to work overnight for completing the O.S and the Divider weapon pack.
The next day.
Yesterday after I finished all of my weaponry ,I fall asleep .then suddenly I felt my body was shaking.i try to opened my eyes then I see nee-san..oh it just nee-san….then immediately she shout beside my ear….
“Don’t go back to sleep you bastard!!!”(Ceria)
OWW!!!my ear drum!! it completely woke me up.damn it!!!Would you be more gentle next time.
“Alya!!The school was hijacked by some terrorist..”(Ceria)
“Oh..does it matter?”(Alya)
I mean only some unit stolen…or some casualty…I don’t care about it though..
“Yeah it matters!!!My White regulus was also there.”(Ceria)
“You idiot,I told you always bring it home.well good luck for retrieving it.”(Alya)
Immediately I cover myself with sheet then wants to continue my dream..but Nee-san next sentence was rather simple..which made me afraid of her..
“………I won’t cover your material for your own zodiac anymore ,so good luck with that..”(Ceria)
“Okay,nee-san where was the terrorist?”(Alya)
Damn it!!!i didn’t have any money with me,if I didn’t finish it it would waste these 2 years!!
“…Good luck with that..”(Ceria)
She grin widely…then immediately I go to garage and nee-san helped me to equip the divider part…now my zodiac was holding the sword at my back ,put the automatic rifle at my waist…now I should launch..
“Ready Alya?”(Ceria)
“Please open the gate now..”(Alya)
She nod ,then the ceiling immediately opened…the garage was located underground which was made easier us to fly upward..Blade hydra this would be our first battle…though I want more some big battle looks god won’t allow us to do so…they are just pesky terrorist anyway..
Narrator POV
The terrorist main objective was the zodiac with legendary O.S Regulus.Which was Ceria Zodiac.
“What are you doing !!!Defeat her fast!!!We must take the key from her!!Remember our target was the legendary O.S Sacred Regulus,as long we take that our strength would be increased 100 fold..!!!!”(Terrorist)
“Yes sir!!”(Minion)
“Ugh,I must keep flying!!”(Minami)
Minami was flying around…she was protecting the key also at the same time protecting other hostage…if she try to attack then whole school would be attacked by A large Beam cannon they brought.
“Must kept holding on..until The reinforcement comes!!!!”(Minami)
The reason minami could handle this long was mostly because Her upgrade O.S !!! if not she would already lost since now..but even though like that there was some attack that hits her……and what’s more flying like crazy also cost some energy which cut her barrier point.
Then suddenly the terrorist leader lost all his reason try to attack the hostage…
“Just handed me over the key anyway!!!If not I would shoot the hostage..”(Terrorist leader)
Immediately Minami landed and spread her arms..
“I wouldn’t give the key nor my friends life..”(Minami)
Minami maybe ruthless to male that try to get closer to her.but she was kind to protect others life,all of the teacher and students were captured what’s more they was tied inside the school couldn’t do anything .Thanks to Minami quick witted she immediately launch with her Azure Phoenix while bringing the key with her..
“Blast it you were seeking death!!!FIRE!!!”(Terrorist leader)
Immediately the wings go to in front of her and forming shield ,and immediately she pinpoint her barrier as large as the beam would be fired..the beam was big as person ,it would be enough for her to protect the school with this..
Once it fired,It stopped at her no more likely she was pushed back…
“must endure it..”(Minami)
Once the beam ended…everyone can see some smoke rising from her body.. her wing was deteriorated ,some of her zodiac armor was burned black……but the worst was her barrier was zero….when the barrier was zero it means the energy was used up and zodiac would stopped moving..
“Ugh..”(Minami)
“Now hand over the key ,if you do we would spare your lives.”(Terrorist)
“Never!!!!Sensei was my savior!!!i would never let you have her zodiac!!”(Minami)
Minami knows this kind of scum would kill every person that saw them because zodiac with legendary O.S was national treasure……even for a second..she would bought some time…Only reinforcement come…
“FIRE!!!!”(Terrorist)
The beam immediately fired which made usual people close eyes and resign death.but she was still clinging on last hope..no matter what she would never falter…As the beam just a second in front of her immediately a strange zodiac she never seen before appeared in front of her…this was ..Alya..
“Good work.”(Alya)
Alya only use claw then defend with its palm..no it was absorbed…..what kind of weapon was that..it keep absorbing it until the beam ends…..only left a little smoke at his hands..but it still could move freely..
“….Such a small energy……well I understand they were idiot though.”(Alya)
Immediately grabbing the Black sword behind him he held it with claw..Why he used a sword made of certain ore?no why he was made it so big?Wouldn’t it just slow you down,was what minami was thinking..
As she though that immediately the sword the hands glows and the sword immediately wrapped in beam….and made giant beam sword… then he immediately dash with amazing at speed and slice some of terrorist in two…
Seeing that all of person surprised..first the sword was strong enough to deplete barrier in an instant…secondly the moves was very faster compared to other Zodiac…no one knows…that Alya Zodiac was only convert beam,or any heat power as energy with his claw…surely he can shot it back but it would only waste his energy so he would use it to create a giant beam sword with sword as his base.A beam saber has great attack power but it didn’t have any sharpness..what if the beam sword had sharpness?The answer was Alya weapon ..it has greatest offensive strength more than any weapont it was indeed has great offensive strength but the main reason it could kill all the terroris was because he absorbed the beam which made his energy overflow..that’s why he must emit it at maximal output everything in his zodiac or it will overflow and explode.…some terrorist were afraid of death to try to run but use his whip at his right hand ,he immediately pulled them back and killed them….the terrorist leader was the one who most afraid..because the killing intent he poured was no joke,He was only student but this feeling was like facing the god of death itself!!!
What they didn’t know was ,Alya only act like usual his killing intent was so so,if he was serious..then they would be already dead….but the school would be also destroyed so he refrain to do so.Once the leader of terrorist regained his sense ,he know he couldn’t beat Alya that’s why he would use hostage to gain buy some time for escape!!!
“Don’t move or I would kill the hostage,there was some terrorist at the school building.with just one word they would kill them.”(Terrorist leader)
But Alya was completely ignoring his words and continued to kill them,even the terrorist leader repeat his words he still ignoring him brandishing his sword while moving and dodging at same times..once he killed all the terrorist he immediately stop in front of the leader terrorist and only glare at him like an insect.even the energy was already depleted and the sword returned to normal…the terrorist still see a shinigami behind him.
“I would kill your friend!!If you dare to attack me I would kill your friend.”(Terrorist leader)
“Then do so..to me they are just stranger..it didn’t matter they died as long my Nee-san zodiac save.”(Alya)
Alya was serious…he didn’t care what happen to them,beside he didn’t request from her sister to protect others…the reason he shielded Minami was simple..because he want to test his limit absorbing energy…well though it was far from enough but this was good experiment…was what he thought.While emitting killing intent he smiled at him which made the terrorist leader wet his pants..seeing that Alya only lift his sword then the terrorist passed out.Seeing that he take something from The terrorist pocket it was key activation for beam cannon….immediately he destroy it….Minami seeing that now understand…he was also legendary zodiac user…but his next action made her surprised…because…he immediately starting dismantle the beam cannon what was he doing?The next action made her jaw opened….he immediately sorted some part …then he tied it and bring it with him..
“EH YOU STOLE IT!!!”(Minami)
“Any problem with that?”(Alya)
…this was treasure to create next pack for him..maybe it won’t be too long because there was necessary material…after all ..what Minami don’t know was that Hydra reaction speed was only 150%. secondly near all the material of weapon was common….third..he didn’t go all out…seeing that minami try to stop him…but she can’t fight her regardless….because he was too genius.
But no one knows this academy under Alya guidance would be the strongest academy and later become nation by themselves…uniting 12 zodiac user with his Zodiac which rule over them.
