“Kuhahahahaha! i’ve heard that you can pretty much cut everything, but i didn’t expect you to cut my barrier!”

“Oi oii....didn’t you just say that my ability is to cut everything? in that case, isn’t your barrier included in ‘everything’? and

to start with......why are you sounding like a last boss from an RPG with every passing second?”

the girl pointed out to Light.

Light turned to Alice, who had her body cut into two.

he then says “Alice, Wake up.”

no matter how much he wants to kill Alice, he isn’t able because he needs her.

that aside, the girl opens her eyes shocked and says “Are you an idiot? she’s cut in half y’know.....no matter how much you’re in deny, going that far is a bit...”

but she soon turned from shock into dumbfounded.

“What the hell was that all about, Master?!”

in case you haven’t noticed, Alice now calls me Master, exactly like Wolf does.

i don’t know what happened, but it might have been Wolf’s brainwashing.

anything is possible for that guy.....

“W-woah!? aren’t you supposed to be dead?!”

said the girl as soon as she recovered from her earlier shock.

Light ignored the girl and looked straight into the sitting figure, X

he still can’t see his expression from the mask, but he can guess that he’s still watching on intensely.

he then guessed that he can’t get to X unless he went through the girl first.

“So Alice, how did it feel?”

“i couldn’t even feel pain!” replied Alice quickly.

Light sharpened his eyes, and looked at the girl yet again.

in the end....her powers are useless if it gives out a painless death.

and having Alice here is great and all, but she’ll end up being dead weight....

“Alice, go get rid of the small fry.”

“Got it~”

and with a gust of wind, she disappeared.

“With that said.....can you truly cut everything?”

“Of course!”

said the girl with a broad smile on her face.

“In the end, you are drunk in your own power.”

muttered Light.

but if that was the case, Light couldn’t deny that he, himself, is drunk in his own power.

in the end, hasn’t he been playing god these past few months?

Light shook his head and decided to try something new.

he pointed his finger toward the sword held by the girl and uttered

“<>”

the sword instantly turned dull, and from dull to ash.

“Ohh? this isn’t as surprising as the earlier tricks...”

said the girl disappointingly while throwing the old, wore down hilt away.

she then lowered her right hand, and another Japanese sword came out of her sleeve.

“That's convenient”

said Light sarcastically

well, with this, it confirms what Alex said.

now then.....how do i kill her?

ohh?

i just got a nice idea!

“<>”

As soon as i said that, my right hand began to glitch.

just like how a video shows a repeating glitch, the same is happening to my right hand.

the girl who was covered in leather, took a step back, thinking i’m planning on doing something.

and as soon as the glitching stopped, the hand was gripping something.

a sharp, one edge Nodachi.

the sword, which was a bit taller than Light, was gripped in his right hand.

its a wonder how he can handle such a heavy weapon in one hand, but its lighter than you might think.

its the sword that has similar abilities as the one Cheshire uses.

it had Greek inscription alongside center of the blade.

“Huh?! You want to challenge me in a sword fight?!”

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Spouted the girl, irritated at the fact that the man in front of her even dared to take out a sword.

with veins appearing in her beautiful face, she dashed toward Light.

Light took an awkward stance, which added more toward the girl’s fury.

the girl swing her blade, which was aimed at Light’s abdomen, but Light countered somehow.

as soon as the blade came into contact with the Nodachi, it turned to ash.

The girl, who was shocked for a moment, quickly took out a short sword from her left sleeve and aimed for Light’s neck.

~Clang!

The girl dropped the short sword alongside her left arm.

“W-why.....? why can’t i.....cut you?”

the girl looked on in disbelief at what just happened.

her left hand, who hit something so hard, went numb.

she did indeed come in contact with Light’s neck, but it was too hard for her to cut.

she doesn’t know exactly why........but the shock is too hard for her, to the point where her legs began to shake.

“That face......hahahahahaha!!!”

Light began laughing at the sight before him.

since in the end, he just did something that this girl thought was impossible.

he understood her ability, and knew exactly what she had went through.

Light guessed that she cut a lot of things including metals she thought to be uncuttable like a hot knife through butter.

she also severed bones and organs, and perhaps even nerves!

he could also guess she cut through countless abilities from other students.

and yet, after getting drunk on that power for more than two years, that so called absolute power!

a guy comes around and tramples through it.

he throws it in the ground, steps on it and then burns it.

isn’t that the beauty of the world?

after a while of laughing, and the girl on the floor trembling in terror, Light came to the delusion that the girl herself was a teacher who stood by when he was being physically harassed.

little by little, his feelings of joy began to be replaced by feelings of anger.

“I swore to kill all of them brutally.....and the sin of being a spectator.....you shall pay it!”

in that instant, he used his skill and created a micro black hole.

even though its so small, you can notice it pretty easily.

in the end, everything near us was being sucked in.

the skyscrapers that were in front of me began moving toward the event horizon, and slowly, froze there.

the girl herself also began moving toward it involuntarily.

she was being sucked in.

that's when Light noticed something.

X, which was sitting near the entrance of the building that was being sucked in, was unmoving.

he walked toward the girl, and said “Ai. you have done your best....leave the rest to me.”

the girl suddenly stopped in her place as well, even though she was in the event horizon.....a place where even light cant escape.

there, they both were standing still, speaking.

then X turned toward Light and said “Enough!”

and the black hole that was directly behind him ceased to exist.

everything...returned to normal.

it was as if the black hole wasn’t there to begin with.

Cold sweat broke out in Light’s forehead.

“This......is it the ability to control time.......?!”

Light was shocked when he realized that someone else might have the same ability as himself.

that’s when someone tapped Light’s shoulder from behind.

it was.....X.

Light could feel the cold stare he was getting from X behind the mask, that's when he said

“That's quite close. its actually space.”
