Night of Wars

— It's very cold tonight, don't you think, Yumi?

At that moment, I thought I was going to die... But then he appeared and saved me from the dark creature.

— Sensei Haruki? What are you doing here?

— I was on my way to do some shopping when I saw you on the ground. I couldn't ignore it and decided to see what was going on.

It was then that I saw Sensei in action. I had never seen him fight with such calmness against a dark creature.

— Sensei, thank you so much for helping me!

But then... I passed out from the pain, unable to do anything for Yumi... When I woke up, I learned of her death. I promised myself that I would become the strongest warrior, capable of defeating all dark creatures.

— Sensei Haruki, I will become much stronger, I will protect everyone I love and eliminate all the dark creatures in this world…

My eyes filled with tears, and I began to cry like I had never cried before.

— Kazuki.

— Yes, Sensei?

Wiping the tears from my eyes, I paid attention to what he had to say. I had never seen him so serious...

— Promise me one thing, Kazuki: that you will become a warrior as strong as I am.

Sensei then changed his serious expression and smiled.

— YES, SENSEI! I PROMISE I WILL BECOME MUCH STRONGER AND I WILL BE YOUR SUCCESSOR!

— Well, your training at the special school starts tomorrow. You will need to introduce yourself to everyone in your class. Remember, Kazuki, they are just like you.
