PART 1

By now the sun was setting and it had stopped raining, they were all back home. But in a dimly lit avenue a boy walking quietly without paying too much attention to the fact that the temperature had drastically dropped due to the rain. That's me, Shiro, I am an 18-year-old student with nothing special who leads a normal and monotonous life, in short, the life of any student. I was heading for a park, the largest in the city.

"It's almost dinner time but I should have time to reach him."

For more than two years now this feeling of wanting a different life has grown in me, I do not feel part of my life but as if I were just an extra ... The world continues to change in front of my eyes and I remain impassive without be able to interfere. If I don't have the strength to be able to change even my own destiny, let alone that of others. I always thought that one day spectacular things would happen to me too in the course of my life but apparently I am destined to march in a straight line towards my already written future. I was born as an orphan and unfortunately I still have no idea who my parents are even though I still intend to look for them! During the orphanage I made friends with a boy who later turned out to be my greatest friend with whom I still share the school dormitory, it's like he was my family now. Whenever I walk this path I always get lost in thoughts like this and then not solve anything.The park I was heading to is the most. large in the city and in fact there are some rumors that say that scary and mysterious things happen in the evening, but I never gave it to us. too much weight. Unfortunately I have bigger problems currently: I haven't had a girlfriend yet. I know it sounds sad but for me having a girlfriend was a matter of life and death, but both me and mine. dear friend Hamazura we are a tragic situation when it comes to love. At the mercy of all these thoughts in front of me, something caught my attention.

In front of me I found some delinquents bullying a poor boy. If there was one thing that I wanted to change in this world it was the evil, which hovers among most people.

The group of offenders was made up of 5 boys, very muscularly developed. 

"My generation makes me throw up ... I wonder how it is possible that there is still room in the world for this waste. If only I could beat them all ...

With a look full of disgust I walked through the group of boys without intervening. Unfortunately I don't have enough strength to be able to intervene, as I said I am not able to help others. Clenching my right fist firmly I kept walking, m. while the criminals paid no attention to me they continued to annoy that poor boy.

When at one point I heard a female voice coming from behind.

"get away from him immediately!"

From the tone of her voice she seems to be a young girl. I decided to approach intrigued. The mysterious girl approached that group of thugs without even an iota of fear. She had long platinum blonde hair and was at least half the size of it, but she looked full of herself. 

“Hahaha ... what do we have here? Little girl don't get in the way if you don't want to get hurt! "

She evidently she had not realized that those boys could very well have hurt even a helpless girl like her.

"Don't make me repeat it again, get out of my way."

"What the hell ?! You're just a little girl, what do you think you're gonna do against us huh ?!

I should do something but a wimp like me can't come up with a rescue plan. I'll call the police, hoping to have time to arrive, but time is short here.

The group of boys had now gathered around the girl. In a normal situation for that girl there would have been no escape, but this time it was different because there was something about that girl ... something different.

"Okay, you wanted it, little brat ..."

One of the guys holding a brass knuckle came up with a furious look intending to hit him on the face.

"If it hits you, it could end very badly ... I have to intervene."

But something stopped me from acting on impulse.

 "she doesn't seem scared at all ... she Do you have any problems? she Didn't you realize the situation she was in?"

"Now the blow is about to be delivered, it's time for action!"

But just as I had decided to awkwardly intervene, a large shock wave hit me making me fly a few meters back, hitting my head with the ground.

After recovering from the blow I got up again staggering.

"what just happened ?!"

Still confused, I tried to get closer to where the girl was and saw an incredible sight: the sidewalk full of bodies lying on the ground. The girl who was still holding one in her hand threw it to the ground and put her dress back on.

"What the hell?!" >>

As I approached to get a better look, I crushed a branch making a noise.

  "come on, come out, I know you're back there"

She was able to perceive my presence only through a broken twig "

"I'm not with them if that's what you think"

"And who can tell me you're not lying?"

"Do I look at all similar to the thugs you knocked out a while ago?"

"Fufuf ... What an interesting person, do you rely solely on physical appearance to determine the danger of a person?"

Actually my theory would not hold up after seeing a girl of about 1.60m spread out 5 big men.

"You're right, after all you haven't even left one conscious ... but I assure you that in an arm wrestling match I would also lose against a child"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

"..."

"uhmm ... not that I don't believe you, but you were right not to intervene you would have only hurt yourself."

"T-Thanks."

after this offense I think I will go and cry in my room for the rest of the evening. However, one question still remained.

"just to know ... how did you do it?"

"come on baby I did some karate"

"umh ... I'm pretty sure karate can't create shockwaves that can throw a person away.

Pointing to my forehead wound that I had just done.

"Oh sorry for that, but I had no other choice"

"then explain to me what that explosion was a little while ago"

"What explosion?"

He replied with a small smile.

"You are making a fool of me?"

"No no, don't worry about that, but my fists were probably so powerful that they knocked your tiny body to the ground"

"..."

I decided it was useless to stay here and talk to a stupid girl, so I turned around and continued my walk towards the park.

When a hand took me from behind my shoulder

"Hey wait are you leaving already? We haven't even introduced ourselves!"

"I thought you were having too much fun making fun of me"

After saying this she immediately pouted like a little girl whose ice cream has just been taken off.

"Anyway, my name is Maysa, I'm going to the high school next to yours! That's where I saw you. Actually I had already planned to meet."

For a moment I tried to put together what she had just said and then I finally realized. A girl who wanted to meet me?

"Sorry I find it hard to believe you, she is stronger than me"

Thing! would be. So weird that a girl wants to meet you?

Well, in my case, yes, but it would have been too humiliating to admit it.

But I wonder what interests her so much about me that she wanted to know me, so I decided to take courage and make the first move.

"I was going to the park which is in the center of the city, if you want you can accompany me"

It took her a few seconds to answer me but then she decided to speak.

“Thanks, it really took a good walk!

PART 2

As we started walking, an awkward silence completely enveloped the atmosphere. But the fault was none other than mine as in these situations they are a complete disaster. I absolutely had to find something to discuss.

"Well, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Oh"

Maysa didn't seem to be expecting such a direct question from me.

"Well, it's a bit complicated I don't know where to start ..."

It almost seemed as if she was about to confess, but I shouldn't have been fooled by these feelings.

"You know, I understand how you feel when you don't have the strength to face reality, I've been through it too but in the end I found the answer"

"You..."

"But this world is much more complicated than you think, and if you don't find the answer you are looking for in time it will be too late"

It was a strange feeling what I was feeling trying, it was like she was reading me as if I were an open book.

"If it Is as you say then I will never find that answer, my destiny is already written and there is nothing I can do to change it"

Maysa, hearing these words, gave a strange smile that made me uncomfortable.

"The truth is that you are very strong ... you just never noticed. You can't.

Change the past and the fact that your. Parents abandoned you and that you were the victim of a kidnapping as a child but you have the strength to get up and look forward "

"..."

It didn't take long for my vision to blur and my mind to cloud. The memory of those events was bringing my anxiety to a thousand, my knees were no longer able to hold me. It was like mine was opening in two ...

"W-why ... you .. bastard ..."

I had to get away from this person as soon as possible. For some reason he knew about my past, of which only Hamazura is aware. The memory of that kidnapping ... a trauma that I will never forget and that every time it is awakened it tears my heart to pieces.

"Shiro-kun stop staying anchored to the past and listen to me: you have a very special power ... that allows you to face the whole world head on, you just have to believe in yourself and in my words ..."

I let out a small moan from my half-closed mouth

"W-What are you ... s-saying?

Unfortunately it had happened ...

By now my personality had been set aside and another person took the place, in reality it is always me. But when a strong hatred mixed with evil happens it grows inside me, my hair turns a bluish gray and my eyes a bright red. I was ready to attack this girl, but there was nothing on her face but a smile on her face.

"Finally you showed yourself ..."

So she was aiming for this from the start, well not that he has much left now.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"I am the one who will tear you away from the past"

Without thinking twice I walked over to her ready to hit her with all of her. my strength but ...

"tsk .."

My right hinge didn't even touch her.

"See if you get out of the way if you don't want me to kill you!"

"If you really have the courage, go for it"

With a strong snap I headed in her direction with twice as fast as before, I was ready to take her life. She shouldn't have awakened this part of me. Now she is finished.

"Shiro you have to join me, I'll help you release your power"

"Stop saying bullshit !! It was this world of shit that reduced me like this !! I no longer have a hope of changing and it certainly won't be a girl like you who will make my past"

There is no way for me to be saved. Even if she saw something that she would make me get up stronger and stronger each time ...

"When you wake up you will have to decide whether to follow me or not ..."

I didn't have time to counter that a big shockwave hit me straight in the face causing me to lose my sense.

PART 3

When I regained my senses I opened my eyes to find a sky completely black as pitch, they were clouds ready to unleash a terrible downpour.

Luckily I was still able to move, but I still had a big headache and she still had some ideas with.

"It happened again ..."

The monster that resides in me has been awakened once again. The last time it happened to me I almost risked killing innocent people, because of my past with growing years this monster thirsty for revenge and full of hatred has formed in me who just wants to be stronger than anyone else. will I ever be the one who changes my future and that of others because of this distorted nature of mine ...

"How did she know about this ... there are so many puzzles, and besides, she kept saying about this power ... What nonsense."

Drops began to fall on the palms of my hands. I had to hurry back to the dorm.

"Maysa doesn't seem to be around ..."

If that girl comes back now it would be a problem.

I started running because the rain started getting more and more intense, I was also without an umbrella which limited my view as I walked back down the dimly lit avenue.

PART 4

Darkness was enveloping me while I was on my way home. Even though I was better now, the words she had said to me earlier Maysa still stuck in my head and they didn't want to leave. That girl must have somehow inquired about my past but how? Hamazura would never say anything so important to a stranger, so there was no way they could get them.

It is useless to think about it now she is gone, and it's better this way for me ... But somehow remembering her face shakes me and calms my heart at the same time ...

Just as I was lost thinking I didn't notice because of the hubbub I was going through with the red. I found myself A great dazzling light ahead, there was very little I could do at that moment, apparently it was the end for me.

But ...

She comes back to me ...

Pushing me the other way and saving my life.

"You…"

"So ... have you made your decision?"

She held out her hand to me, smiling and saying these words quietly.

Drops of water began to fall from my eyes which overlapped the rain. I could see her… Her hope in her eyes.

"I chose yes".
