[Arc II-Royal Hunt]

After the fight with Elma, I went back to the dorm and I found Hinako-san standing at the front door. I was terrified as I saw her face with anger. I went to the back of the building and climbed up to my room window.

As I sneaked in, Rika was asleep on my bed. That surprised me even more. As I walked up to her, I saw her cute sleeping face. It was a rare sight. As I leaned closer to look at her face, she suddenly woke up. She was confused on why I was here.

        "Mhm....You're finally back....*Yawn*...I was getting sleepy so I decided to sleep."

        "How obvious can you be...Rika."

        "Hm? What is it? Rika said as she gets up from the bed.

        "Do you recognize this badge?" I asked and showed her the badge that was from Alvis dropped.

        "Hmm....This...look familiar. Hmm......I can't remember well but I'm sure I've seen that badge before. What's wrong with it?"

I explained what happened before I came back to my room to Rika. She seemed to be a bit worried when I explained to her. I was glad that I saved her life. I did not know why I felt glad at that moment of all times but it wasn't a bad feeling at all.

        "You should be careful from now on, Sora. I'll try to remember what this badge is. I feel like something big is going to happen."

        "Then we should be on our guards all the time. Same goes for you, Rika. I'm worried that they will target you too."  

        "Now then...it's already late. You should go back to your dorm before Hinako-san finds out."

        "Agreed. Good night, Sora."

The next morning. While I was on my way to school, Johnny was explaning the basic of a RPG game that he had been playing. I was not interested in games so I did not pay attention. When we entered the classroom, Rin was speed writing something on her book.

It seemed that she forgotten to finish her homework and looked very tired. Unlike her, I completed my work despite my battle last night...

        "Hehe. So you didn't complete your homework too, Sora." Rin said.

Both us were standing in front of our classroom because we did not complete our homework. And here I was being so great that I completed it despite me having a battle with Elma.

        "Say...you don't really hate Advants at all, Rin."

        "Yup! I mean I find it weird to hate people who are just better than Humans. Advants are still Humans! They just have abilities and extra ribs but even all that, they are still humans!"

        "Wow...it's very rare to find Humans who doesn't hate Advants these days. I'm lucky to see one in front of me."

        "Hehe! No problem! If you have any problems, you can always talk to me!"

        "Can you both keep quiet? You're disturbing the class with your lovey-dovey talk."

        Both of us- "Ah...sorry!"

        "Guess we should talk quietly." Rin whisper.

        "Ya..." 

As I look at the window in front of me, the clouds were getting darker. Rin was convinced that it was gonna rain heavily but to me, the clouds were formed unnaturally. I had a bad feeling about it so I decided to check about it but

as soon as I moved, Rin and I were dragged into a barrier. Rin was very confused while I was in rage. 

        "Damn it!"

        "Ehhh....Mind if I ask, Sora? Where are we exactly?"

        "Rin! Run to the very edge of this barrier. The wall will be somewhere far from here so run!"

        "Ah...Okay then!"

I looked at Rin running away. I will kill those assholes no matter what for dragging an innocent to this mess. As I looked around, Alvis appeared out of nowhere. 

        "Alvis...." I said as I looked at her with a murderous intent.

        "What a pair of eyes~ It seems that dragging that girl here was the right choice~"

        "Damn you! What exactly do you people want from me!?"

        "Of course~ To kill you~"

        "What?!"

        "Your existence, especially your ability~ It is a threat to 'them' and an obstacle to 'their' plans~ Now that is finally out of the way...wi-"

Before she finished her sentence, I choked her by using and came out in front of her. She was shocked as she actually let her guard down when confronting. That showed she was underestimating me from the start.

        "Now...tell me what the hell are you people planning. No....who are you people" I asked as I released her.

        "*Coughing* Damn it....I won't tell you anything at all!"

        "I see...." I said as I looked at her with a cold eyes. "Then I'll kill you right now. Your death has come true because of your ignorance."

I striked my fist towards the side of her head. My hand goes through her head with so much blood gushed out from the destroyed brain of hers. I had no pity for her and I did not care whatsoever. 

I pulled out my hand from her head and looked around to confirm whether was anyone nearby or not. I remembered what I said to Rin and quickly ran towards her direction.
