Chapter 14 - 14. He Is Dead

[ The scene cuts to Mika standing in the entrance gate of the school and Kaelveth standing far nearby. ]

Kaelveth: I played with her mind. So she won't remember a thing that happened in TFZ 

[ His lips curled into a slight smirk. ]

Kaelveth: The real game starts now.

[ Scene cuts to Mika entering the school. As before, there are students and teachers around her. ]

Mika: Why does it feel off?

[ She walked into the school building and made her way to her class with the same thought. ]

Mika:  Why does this feel like it's all repeating?

[ The scene cuts to Kaelveth walking away from school. ]

Kaelveth: I don't understand why, but my majesty wants her alive.

[ Scene cuts to Mika sitting at her desk. ]

Yuki: Do you got the plan?

Mika: (confused) Didn't you ask me before?

Yuki: (annoyed) What? No, you just came in. How can I ask before you even came in?

Mika: (confused) Just forget it. I have a plan.

Yuki: Okay, what is the plan?

Mika: The plan is that today we'll learn about casein plastics. Research and learn about it. I'll help you with that.

Yuki: Okay, then?

[ Mika let out a awkward smile. ]

Mika: I've no idea about after that.

Yuki: (shocked) WHAT? YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

[ Everyone in the class turned around to them. ]

Mika: Come on, we'll figure it out together.

[ She held out her fist. It reminded Yuki of someone — a friend from long ago. His face softened. He didn't move. ]

Mika: What? Did I do something wrong?

Yuki: It's nothing.

[ Yuki let out a small breath and returned the fist bump with a small hint of smile in his face.]

Yuki: It's just been so long since I've done it.

Mika: You're kidding, right?

Yuki: (smiles) Nah, I'm not joking.

Mika: Why not?

Yuki: No one reached out to me... and I never really wanted to do it.

Mika: (suspicious) Then why did you do it now?

Yuki: Cuz you reached out—

Mika: That's a silly question. Oh yeah, sorry—and I forgot, we will be learning together.

Yuki: (shocked) What!?

Mika: I get bored easily, so it would be better if I had a company, and I know you're just like me in this case.

Yuki: Whatever, it's not like I've a choice… How did she know it?

Mika: He doesn't like the idea. I can say that from that reaction. We should also do it practically, so I'll talk with Mr Hamesh.

[ Mika walks to the staff room. On the way, Yuvaraj called her. ]

Yuvaraj: I'd like to talk to you in private. It's about Yuki.

Mika: On lunch break, I'm busy now. 

Yuvaraj: Right side of the school.

Mika: Something doesn't feel right about him. Okay.

[ She walked past him to the staff room to find some teachers sitting at their desks with their laptops. She walked towards Hamesh. ]

Mika: Sir, we need to use the chemistry lab tomorrow.

Hamesh: Ohh yeah, for your project, right?

Mika: We're at the final stage, we just have to do it practically to understand better.

Hamesh: That's great, I'll permit you.

[ Scene cuts to Kaelveth driving back on a road. ]

Kaelveth: To get full control, I've to consume one's life force completely. So now, that teacher will die soon. I only got two days, wait— 

[ A slight smirk appeared on his face. ]

Kaelveth: —What if I let them know? That would be interesting.

[ He takes his phone from the dashboard and calls someone. The scene cuts to Mika walking along the corridor, and her phone vibrates. She checks on it. It shows some gibberish words. ]

Mika: WHAT? Demons near our SCHOOL?

[ The scene cuts to Kaelveth, walking towards his home. ]

Kaelveth: And it's done.

[ The scene cuts to in TFZ, Mika standing before Hamesh in shock, her eyes are glowing yellow. Her voice is shaky… ]

Mika: It can't be... no way.

[ Then the scene cuts to Hamesh; his eyes, which are supposed to be glowing yellow, are not glowing. ]

Hamesh: What are you talking about?

Mika: Could this be related to those two demons?

[ The scene cuts to a man standing behind a building near the roadway, where the demons are found. A sly smile on his face. Then the scene cuts back to Mika. ]

Mika: So that's it, that's not a js random feeling. Everything has been repeated.

Hamesh: Why are you keeping silent?

Mika: Why was I left alive? Was I too strong or was I not worthy of killing? maybe they're planning something big. Deactivate TFZ.

[ Scene cuts to Mika standing in front of the staff room. But she turns back and goes to her class, sitting at her desk. Then she looks at Yuki, who is staring outside through the window. ]

Mika: I got a bad feeling about him, regardless of negative chakra.

[ Yuki turns back at her. She was startled by his sudden movement. ]

Mika: I didn't mean to stare at you. It's just that we got permission to use the lab tomorrow.

Yuki: Ohh, I see.

Mika: I'll use this group to conclude who he is.

[ After a few hours in the lunch break on the right side of the school building. After a few moments, Mika came to that place. ]

Mika: (annoyed) Keep it short, I don't have much time.

Yuvaraj: She's not in a good mood, I can say that from her face. Okay, fine, I heard that you want to know about him.

Mika: Yeah, do you have anything to say?

Yuvaraj: Yeah, the thing is, he'll do anything if he starts hating someone.

Mika: What happened?

Yuvaraj: You're quite sharp. Even though AI fully monitors our city, there are still blind spots. 

Mika: Yeah, I know that, go on. 

Yuvaraj: Once upon a time, some ppl targeted me. Yeah, it was my mistake that got me into trouble. To my surprise, Yuki walked past us. He noticed me; he could've saved me just by twisting his finger to the camera. But you know what he did.

Yuvaraj: He said, "Do it twice as you want, and I won't call the police", and then he stood there watching me getting beaten up with a creepy smile. 

Mika: He just took revenge on you. That's a human's quality. I can't say he's a demon just by these.
