101 Avatars
68. The Main Antagonist, Xavier

In the dark room, Mecha prostrated salute to a human figure sitting on a throne that was positioned high enough from the floor.

“My respect to Mr. Xavier.”  Mecha said as she bent her head as low as possible in a prostration position.

The figure of the master he called Xavier signaled with a nod of his hand, Mecha immediately stood up from her prostration.

“How about the development of immortality tree making?”  Ask the figure named Xavier to Mecha.

“Everything went well, my lord.  If there are no obstacles, then we can solve it before the arrival of the punishment gaia.”  Answer Mecha.

“Good work, Mecha.  Keep up your hard work.”  The figure named Xavier also gave his praise to Mecha.

“Thank you for your kindness, my lord.  Of course this is all also inseparable from the services of Fog in obtaining serum immortality.”  Mecha replied looking with a faint expression of heart after being praised by her master.

“By the way about Fog and Freeze, what are they currently doing?”  Ask again Xavier.

But this time, it was not Mecha who answered, but Void who was also in the room.

“They are currently taking care of the capture of Blue Batboy, the Red Blood Hero partner who always interfered with our plans, my lord.  It is certain that in a moment, there will no longer be anyone who can stand in my way.”  Void said respectfully to his master, Xavier.

Today is the day of my first final semester exam, which coincides with the day before Christmas.  Due to the various affairs with the avatar monsters, I did not have much time to study.  Fortunately, today's exam opened with a college spy that wasn't too difficult.  Anyway, tomorrow's holiday, I'll just stay at home, or maybe at the headquarters sometime yes, to study.

However, I also began to feel strange when I entered the campus area.  People's views seemed to be all on me.  On the side, I could feel that they were gossiping at me from behind.  I who was curious about what they were talking about began to sharpen my sense of hearing to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Hey, isn't he the Blue batboy the police are looking for?”

“I heard he committed a crime that is not-not to the point of being sought by the police.  He littered the park property, damaged public facilities, cut up, even worse I heard he was reckless to xx a young man on the street without shame.”

“Eh fellow man?  Also isn't he the Red Blood Hero's partner who saved Jakarta City five years ago?”

“The Hero of Red Blood is equally depraved.  Didn't you see the video?  He slaughtered and killed innocent people.”

“Ah, what the fuck with all those nonsensical stories?  Does that mean my identity has been discovered?  This is bad, I have to get to headquarters.”  I thought in my heart.

In a hurry, I was about to leave the campus immediately to return to the headquarters.  But too late, the police had surrounded the place where I was standing.

In the midst of my death, suddenly someone pulled me and took me somewhere to hide before the police could see me.  Apparently, he, no, I mean they are Bobi and Zenri.

“What is this, Adrian?  Is it true that you are Blue Batboy?”  Ask Zenri.

“Not Blue Batboy, but Blue Arrow Knight.  Yeah, it was me.  So, what now?  Do you also intend to hand me over to the police?”  I answered with a cynical tone.

“No, Adrian.  I'm a big fan of both of you.  Maybe you didn't know this because back then you might not have joined the Red Blood Hero yet.  But at that time, we were kidnapped by avatar monsters who were otherwise mistaken, named Tsurugi and Moon when we were Junior High.  There, I witnessed the great figure of the Red Blood Hero while saving us.”

Oh, apparently at that time Bobi and Zenri also attended the same school as Tio who if not wrong, their school students, ranging from Elementary School, Junior High School, to High School, similar to the place where Judith went to school.

I remember Arjuna telling me this story.  If not mistaken, it is two weeks after the disastrous night of Hoho game which means the virus that prevented the avatar monster from returning to its original form has been released.  But there were still some avatar monsters who were immune after that even though the efficiency of his strength had decreased.  One of the three cases is the Tsurugi-Moon case.

Though my mood at that time was fine thanks to Zenri's praise, until Bobi said that sentence.

“But Adrian, is it true that you have already xx a young man in the park?”

“Where might I do that!”  Reply annoyed.

The police began to search the campus to find me.  The three of us then swiftly sneaked around to avoid police surveillance.

However, it has not been enough an hour since the police began to make the intrusion, a group of students who were almost all female members came to confront the herd of police while protesting.

“This is a campus environment that should be sterile from politics and government.  It is inappropriate for police personnel to enter our territory.  Get out!  Get out of this place!”

Students also protested to prevent the police from being harassed.  But what surprised me even more, apparently the leader of the demonstrators was a figure that I knew so well.  She is my ideal woman.  My heart's poem.  He's Nafisah.

Without giving me time to be amazed to see another figure of my heart, I was suddenly pulled by another hand again.  Apparently, she is Professor Melisa.

“Thank you, Bobi, Zenri, have secured Adrian so far.  Next, leave it to me.”

That's what the professor said before he suddenly pulled me, dumped me in his car, then drove fast with his weird car.

At that place, Nafisah bravely stood in the way of the police who were intent on arresting Adrian who was none other than the Blue Arrow Knight, a fellow Red Blood Hero, their idol.

“During this time, the Red Blood Hero and the Blue Arrow knight have been fighting for the sake of mankind, keeping the peace and tranquility of Jakarta City from the dangerous monsters.  But what do the police do?  Not only did they do nothing to the danger of avatar monsters hiding in the dark corner of the capital, they instead accused our hero of being a villain.  This can't be left.”

Bravely, Nafisah shouted in front of the crowd, dispelling the herd of police.

A moment later, suddenly one of the police officers came to the leader of the police team.  He whispered into the ears of his team leader,

“Sorry sir, the suspect has already escaped and is currently being pursued by another unit.”

After listening to the report, the police who had broken into the university area which was actually prohibited under an unwritten rule, withdrew themselves.
