Chapter 7 - 7. Who Are You?

May: (smiles) Nah, lunch break is not over. There are still a few minutes.

Mika: Oh, that's good. Beginning, huh?

[ After school, everyone makes their way to their school buses. At Mika's home. ]

Mika: Mom, I have to say something, and it's important.

Harini: (serious) Don't tell me …

Mika:. That's right, I found a demon in my school.

Harini: (worried) Did something happen to you? Any wounds? Any pain? Do you need a painkiller?

Mika: Yeah, she broke my rib bones. Relax, ma, I've already taken a painkiller. So I'm okay now. (smiles)

Harini: You should be more careful. You never had a severe wound like this.

[ Her smile fades away slowly… ]

Mika: Yeah, she's the strongest one I've ever fought. I almost lost, and thanks to my power-up, I won.

Harini: That's not good. There are even stronger ones…

Mika: Yeah, I'm sure no other demon is on her level. Her power is speed. She said there are upper-class demons who are even stronger than her.

[ She couldn't believe what she heard. ]

Harini: What? Even stronger? Is that even possible?

Mika: Yeah, that's what she said. Not just that, there's even more I got to know from her.

[ Mika tells everything she learned from her. ]

Mika: Could you report this for me, Mom, pleaseeeee?

Harini: (smiles) Will do. Get some rest.

[ Scene switches to Yuki's home. Yuki and Yuna are sitting in the dining hall. ]

Yuna: How is it going, brother?

[ Yuki knows what she is asking, but acts like he doesn't understand. ]

Yuki: What are you asking?

Yuna: (Sighs) You do understand, don't act like you don't. Now tell me what's happening in school.

Yuki: Yeah, there is something you'd like to know. I had bad luck today.

[ Yuna got excited about the rumour she heard. ]

Yuna: Did a girl propose to you, Yuki? That's how you get information from him. (smirks)

[ Yuki smacked her in the head so hard. She let out a cry. ]

Yuki: What makes you think like that? But it is related to a girl.

[ His words got his mother's attention. ]

Sheerya: So what happened?

Yuki: (surprised) Mom? Not you too…

Sheerya: Of course, this is not something you usually hear. (Smiles)

Yuki: (sighs) Anyway, it's not a big deal. I was paired with a girl. And that's not bad luck, though. Adam stepped in, claiming he would team up with her. So, the sir gave her a choice, but she chose me. That's bad luck.

[ A cheeky smile appears on her face. ]

Yuna: I really wanna see her.

[ Switches to Adam's room, he is sitting at the study table. ]

Adam: No matter what, I don't like studying. (Sighs) I couldn't forget what happened today. It all felt like a dream.

Krishna: Of course, because your plan had failed.

Adam: She chose him.

Krishna: Because he is the main character, bro.

Adam: That's not a big deal, though. But what she said about being curious is bothering me.

Krishna: She can't say she suspects him as a demon.

Adam: Or maybe does she like him, nah. It won't be; she didn't seem like that. What if it turns out to be a love story?

Krishna: Do you believe it? Have you forgotten that your friend is Yuki?

Adam: Ahh, I'm thinking about Yuki, with his shyness, no way it'll turn out to be a love story.

Krishna: Not bad, you didn't forget. And I'm surprised; you made me feel like I've been talking to you, even though you didn't hear a single thing.

[ Scene switches to Mika's room, Mika is lying on her bed ]

Mika: Ah, Today feels so long. I couldn't stop thinking about the incident.

Krishna: I feel the same. This day is so long.

Mika: Thanks to her, I couldn't say Yuki is a human or a demon, a sinner, a protector or a demon. If they can control their negative chakra, what if they can also act as a protector?

Krishna: Nice idea, Mika. But that's not possible. We created it, so it's not easy to duplicate. But of course, they can't do it, though.

Mika: I'm not sure what to do about it. Who the hell are you, Yuki?

[ Scene switches to Yuki lying in the bottom bunk and Yuna on top. Yuki sneezed. ]

Yuna: Someone is thinking about you.

Yuki: (annoyed) Shut up and sleep.

[ Scene switches to Mika's room ]

Mika: I guess, if he is not a true protector, he can't evolve into level 2. The only hope I have that he is a human is, he acts just how I used to be in the past.

[ Switches a Teenager's room, sitting on his desk, facing the wall, where Kaelveth is kneeling behind the student. He exerts chakra to create a TFZ. ]

Kaelveth: What should we do now, majesty? It's quite useful; we can create TFZ with chakra.

Niru: Akari failed to withstand the protector. I was planning to test someone. You got away this time, Yuki. But I'll get you soon.

Kaelveth: Can I know who that is, majesty?

[ Niru didn't even turn, but suddenly the atmosphere felt heavy ]

Niru: (Cold) Did you just question me?

[ Niru's aura terrifies him. ]

Kaelveth: I'm extremely sorry. Forgive me, I won't do it again.

[ The atmosphere finally began to feel a bit light. ]

Niru: Wait for my orders.

Kaelveth: Yes, sir.

[ Scene switches to Yuki's room in the morning ]

Yuna: Wake up, Yuki. It's almost 7 AM, you're gonna miss the bus.

[ Yuki wakes up and sees the time. ]

Yuki: Oh no, I overslept!

Krishna: Don't blame me, you never told me to wake you up.
