Chapter 38:

Creepy smile.

A jokers world


The ground of education became the battlefield. The green grass and flowers were now painted by the blood of the teachers and monsters.There was no loss of life from the teachers side yet slowly but surely the monsters were gaining the upper hand in the fight.

The monsters coming out were not higher in the class division of the monsters list.They were all around class b or c although the number played the major role.Omers,vega, ice golems, snow wolves,skeletons with armor and sword,wild dogs,some insect monsters etc.

All of them started to notice that they were being pushed back little by little. The magicians started to care less about surroundings and started using more violent spells.The swordsman started to become more aggressive. Healers like yuki were supporting them from the back and healing the injured ones.

The tides shifted, teachers began to overpower them. The battle between them went on for another 10 minutes until the yasi suddenly looked above staring into distant sky and then closed the portals for a second. He reopens them a minute later, this time the portals were bigger than the previous one.

The first one to come out from the port behind yasi was the Mama Mermaid in her human form.

The teachers kill all the remaining monsters from the previous portal and cautiously gaze around them without noticing her.

walking past yasi in her two piece swimsuit and a translucent pareo warped around her waist. Sky blues hairs running past her waist, Index finger on her cheeks and rest under the chin, with a slight grin she licks her lips and She starts her siren song. Some noticed her and blocked their ear while also warning others but they couldn't make it in time.

Hypnotizing everyone whether a male or female she marches them towards her. Yuki and Aki were also dancing on her fingers.

As they were walking towards them other monsters started appearing out of the portal.Queen of ice, different types of Drens, lizard dragon,the hemic goat(a bipedal creature), Vampire,black leopard etc.

The unhypnotized people start waking up the hypnotized one by a simple magic spell like lightning or hitting them for a strong stimulus in the brain while also fighting back the new monsters heading towards them.

The normal Drens released the water steam making it hard to get a view of what was going on. Black leopards ran through the streams and started attacking the unhypnotized people with claws.

As the steam started to settle down the queens called the blizzards. Eyes trying hard to navigate the way through the white darkness as they tried to stay on their feet.

One of the teacher's eyes caught the sight of the queens forming ice shards. He yelled to inform others about the incoming attacks but the voice didn't reach anyone in all the uproar.

Against the snowy winds a figure came flying. The queens hurl the ice shards.slicing the snowy air the shards headed towards the teachers.

:Click:

Melting down all the snow in the area with her flames the grey dragon landed in front of all the teachers blocking all the ice shards with her hard scales. When the vision clears Hikaru jumps down glaring at the Mama Mermaid.

Still singing and not paying attention to him. Hikaru calls out the vines from the ground and restrains her. The vines pierces thorns in her throat and lets her go.

She falls on the ground in pain as the blood drips down to her waist. All the hypnotised people come back to their senses. Hikaru runs towards Yuki and calms down all his worries by hugging her.

“Eh!? Brother?! You are back!”

‘Yay….but what's going on?”

“It a lo–”

The black leopard runs and jumps towards Hikaru.

:slam:

A whip from the dragon tails smacks him in the walls breaking his bones, with no strength left he dies at the spot. The dragon roars letting out her all aura scaring the monsters and everyone else present there.

‘Oh..Thanks…you all jump down, it can be dangerous up there.” Hikaru tells the ladies and children sitting on the back of the dragon.

They came down and headed towards Hikaru. Takenji, Mahiru and all others also shelter behind the dragon.

“Hikaru.” Takenji calls out.

‘Ah! Sir, can you take care of all of them? I brought them all here hoping that it's a safe place but it doesn't look like it is. One of them is from our academy.”

“O..okay.”

‘So what's going on Yuki?”

“Are you sure we will be okay ?”

“Don’t worry I trust her.She will not let a single one come closer.”

“If you say so.”

“So what's happening?”

“First can you let me go?”

“Hmm ... .okay” a little disappointed Hikaru releases her.

“So…the whole Mixed race continent is being attacked by dungeons and other monsters. We wer—”

The afternoon sky turns into night as the clouds swirl around the top of the academy in the sky. as it gives the sense of familiarity Hikaru and Mahiru turn their eyes to the sky.

3 people slowly descend down. Hikaru's blood boils as his eye captures the vision of the middle man.Long coat, hairs long up to shoulder and those unforgettable sharp blue eyes.

“It's really taking too much time here, other areas have already started to push them back.” said Nefrim.

“My apologies sir, but the yasi is saying that they cant get past them.”

“Can you idiots quickly finish it? I want to go back and sleep in my darling's arms.”

They landed at the top of the academy.

“We hav–” Nefrim stopped mid sentence as he saw Hikaru fly towards him on the dragon, but thanks to yasi they didn't even get near him.

Yasi made a portal sending them back to crash into the ground with all their momentum.

“Oh boy what an angry fellow we have here.” Nefrim looks at Hikaru as the dust of their crash settles down.

“Have we met somewhere before, young man?”

Hikaru stands up coughing out all the dust with the same rage and fierce gaze.

“Yeah..the day when you knocked on the door of death.”

“Oh really huh?”

Luke sees Yuki and gets surprised. He whispers in Nefrim’s ear.

“Sir, looks like the one girl for whom we sent Lues to kill her is still alive.” he points at a yuki.

Hikaru hides her behind him.Nefrim thoughts for a second and answers back.

“I don't think she could even do anything, forget about her for now we have to kill all these teachers here…..oh! We also have Miss Mahiru and Miss Hana here, sorry for not noticing you.”

Mahiru was also filled with emotions but she didn't let them control her.

“So you are behind all this..”

“Yes, yes it was. And if the cat is out of the bag let me tell you that the attack at your house was my idea and it was accomplished by Lues.”

She knew somewhere in her mind that it was all his doing but hearing him accept it without any guilt enraged her.She lifted her wand but Nefrim spoke before she could do anything.

“Are you sure you want to fight here between the childs.”

Mahiru looks at them hiding behind the lady they came with.

“Look, I don't want to harm them. Why don't we settle it somewhere else.”

“Okay. Let's settle it somewhere else. Can you take them somewhere else?”Hikaru asks the dragon.

“Don't worry about them. I will not lay hands on the child at all and also not on the others but only until I kill you.”

“You think I will believe in you?”

“I am a man of words, I assure you that.”

Hikaru still doesn't trust him.

“Don't worry Hikaru, I know him and I am sure he will not do it.” said Hana.

“Are you really sure?”

“Yes,You can also ask Mahiru.”

Mahiru nods.

“Then Takenji sir and other teachers can I ask you to stay here and look after them.”

“Sure, but are you going to fight alone with them?” one of the teachers asks.

“No, I am taking Aki and sana with me”

“Why am I excluded?” asked Yuki.

“I don't want yo–”

“I am not going to listen to a single word. I am coming with you.”

“But-”

“I said I am coming with you.”

Hikaru knew she was going to protest but he still took a chance that if by some miracle she accepted to stay behind.

“Okay”

“We are also coming, “ said Hana and Mahiru.

“You sure?”

“Yes”

‘C..can one of you stay here, i still don't trust him, i know i should be responsible for them but please. The dragon will also be down here to protect them” Hikaru looked at her. She nodded.

Hana said “Okay then I will stay here.”

“T..Thanks”

“No worries.” Hana says to Mahiru” promise me you will kill Lues.”

“I will.”

“Okay then we 5 will be going.”

“Where are we going though?”asked Aki.

“Leave that to me. Just remember everyone there is no need to hold back anymore."

Hikaru whispers “I call one of the jokers.”

All the 5 of them and Nefrim and his companions vanished from the academic ground.a giant circular structure appeared above the island floating in air. Its area was bigger than the island.

All 8 of them get teleported there. At one side of the middle plain area were empty sets like the colosseum. And adjacent to those seats was a single room with a stone throne and a black figure with white eyes and mouth sitting on it while giving a creepy smile.

The 8 of them were spaced pretty far from each other and in front of them was their opponent, all of this was done by that joker.

Aki in front of the lady. Sana, Mahiru and Yuki in front of Lues. And at the centre of the battle area Hikaru versus Nefrim. All unable to move a single muscle just like mannequins were just standing there restrained by that joker's power.

‘That joker decided it on his own. And why is he not letting us move?’ Hikaru stares at his creepy smile.

“Who is that guy?” Asked Nefrim with a smile.

“Dont know.”

‘What an interesting fellow. I want him on my side.”

The joker stands up while keeping a wide grin on his face and claps, signaling the start of battle and unrestrained them.
