Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 7 - The Next Invasion

[Place: Unknown ]

Somewhere unknown, a collection of monsters was created from an infinite amount of energy. If people saw him, they would put on a deathly pale expression because it was completely beyond what they thought.

The monsters seemed to be preparing to launch an attack, and that was evidenced by the numerous black hole-like portals connecting them to certain places.

The question is, when did they come? Can humans survive?

[3 Months Later ]

In a room, similar to a command center, a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman were focusing on observing the large screen in front of them.

All around, various screens and holograms show a variety of data and graphics that are quite complicated. The information displayed was difficult for ordinary people to understand, but one thing was certain that it was information about Eternite.

"Professor Hasegawa, Mr. Akaasa, we received information that there was a change in gravity around the area of Japan. We found that the anomaly was so small that we could not detect it before. Now, it seems that change is starting to show a slight space crack so we can detect it."

An officer in a black and white uniform reported the information they found. He reported mainly to his leader, Hasegawa.

Hasegawa is a beautiful woman with long black hair. He wears glasses and wears a lab coat like a professor. He is the current leader of the ETER Union.

Not that the uniformed officer disrespected the man beside him. After all, the middle-aged man had strength and status, even he was respected by many people.

Only, here Hasegawa is the one who can make a decision.

"Space Crack?"

Hasegawa asked the officer.

Space Crack is a space crack event that became the site of the emergence of Eternite, or the way for Eternite to come to earth. It was a common occurrence that Eternite would come out and try to kill the humans they encountered.

Thanks to the experience and information that has been obtained, the incident could basically be handled well by ETER Union.

Some of them are still hard to control.

"That's a big possibility. And from the changes that occur, the scale is quite large."

Heard what his subordinates said. Hasegawa understood what he wanted to say.

"So the 4th Invasion huh. When and where exactly will they appear?"

The large-scale Space Crack has the potential to take Ruler and begin the same invasion as the first and second Invasion. Except for the mysterious Third Invasion, the first and second Invasion have proven how terrible the Invasion led by the rulers.

"We can't be sure. We only knew that it would happen around Japan, but the timing itself was difficult to determine. It could be 1 year from now, or at most 4 to 5 years."

After hearing that, Hasegawa turned to the middle-aged man beside her then said.

"What do you think, Mr Akaasa?"

The middle-aged man was the current head of the Akaasa family. He was highly respected even by Hasegawa himself.

Although Hasegawa was his superior, but it did not change his respect for the man. Howoun he is his senior. It showed how other the status of the middle-aged man was.

Mr. Akaasa himself looked calm, as if he was expecting this, or at least he did not feel afraid. It probably came from the many battle experiences he had gone through.

In his mind, there was no point in panicking or being surprised.

"Other innovations yes. It used to be that one of our cities was destroyed, but now we might be able to retaliate."

A strange aura emanated from his body, as if he wanted to instantly eliminate all those monsters.

Well, even though the man said it confidently, but in his heart he knew that it would definitely not end without any casualties. However, in that situation, he had to show his confidence to keep his subordinates calm.

“Just do what you have to do, little Hasegawa. Prepare everything to the maximum, especially evacuation and rescue. You are currently the leader of ETER Union.”

Then he turned around and waved his hand.

"This week I'm going to take a leave of absence. When the preparations are finished, you can call me at any time to take command of the battle. I'll meet my naughty grandson first."

Then the middle-aged man left the room.

"All right, start making rescue and battle plans."

After Mr. Akaasa left, various preparations began to be made at the ETER Union. Preparation will take a long time because they want to make maximum preparations to minimize casualties.

Fortunately, that's not going to happen anytime soon. However, even if it happens in the near future they still have a plan even though the losses will be very large.

[ POV Ryu ]

[ Library ]

"It's a good school."

Right now, Ryu is in his school library, looking for some information about the best Academy in Japan, Yozora Academy.

His family told him to move to the Academy for several reasons. Riyu has not made up her mind as she does not care about any school as long as she can be with her lover.

However, after reading a book about the Academy, Riyu realized that she was too quick to draw conclusions.

From the book he read, he felt that the academy was a perfect match for Mei. The reason is because the resources, technology, and quality are very good. If the results are satisfactory, he will invite Mei to study there, of course he will ask permission from his parents as well.

In essence, that was why Riyu kept looking for information about Yozora Academy.

[ POV Ryu ]

I am currently in the school library. I'm pretty busy, especially since I might be transferring schools, of course, if Mei stays here, I'll stay here too. I have my own freedom.

Well, despite the truth, it would be great if he could attend school there.

"What are you reading?"

It was also the reason why I was just silent and absentminded at this moment.

"Why are you just silent? And what the fuck with that look?"

Mei was a little upset because I didn't answer her. However, I can't be blamed. She's the one guilty of being so beautiful.

His appearance fascinated me. I was even ready to stare at him for hundreds of years.

Am I crazy? Might as well.

"Your beauty drives me crazy, Mei."

I digress, I know.

"Oh."

And it ended with him hitting my head. That's not painful. Especially since I practice regularly. Well, obviously I was willing to be hit a few times just to see his smile. Hah. (sighs) I'm really crazy.

"You haven't answered my question."

Mei said in an annoyed tone because I still haven't answered her question.

Okay, don't joke anymore.

"I'm reading about Yozora Academy."

I showed the book cover in my hand.

"That book?"

He asked with a little hesitation.

"Is there something wrong May?"

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath to prepare himself to speak.

“I'll go to another city.”

“....”

Okay, I get it now. So that's why he's feeling a little frustrated. He probably thinks that we're going to split up because of it.

“I came here to say that I will move to Yozora Academy. My parents have a job in that area.”

He said while bowing his head. He might be scared of my response.

"I see, that's a good thing."

That's good, I mean I really wanted to take him to that academy. But, Uh, I realized my words were a little wrong.

And sure enough, he looked so surprised at my words that he looked me in the eyes with tears almost coming out.

"good? Why ka-em"

I kissed her lips before she finished speaking. Anyway, I don't want to make her cry because of a misunderstanding.

Well, that's just my real reason.

A few seconds later, we let go of our kiss. Mei's cheeks were blushing, she was probably a little embarrassed.

"Simme May, listen to my explanation."

He nodded his head. Her cheeks were still blushing after I kissed her.

"That's a good thing because I was also told by my family to move there. So we'll stick together.”

“Really?”

Hearing my words, he began to show a hint of light.

“True. Besides, after I read this book, I feel that this academy is indeed a perfect fit for you. It would be great if you could study there.”

I began to briefly explain my situation to him.

“So so.”

“Well, after all, even if I wasn't told to move, who do you think I am?”

"Fuck?"

“Yes that. No, I don't mean. When did I act like that?”

“....”

Whahuh? Am I really like that?

I don't remember acting like that.

Wait a minute, I did tease my older personal servant a little, Maya. Then, Mei saw that.

Well, but only Maya is a different case. She was like a sister to me. So it's natural that I praise him often.

???

So, I do praise him huh. Well I admit it, I might have teased him.

If you think about it again, it is a little wrong. Well, let's talk about that later.

“Ehem, put that aside first. When will you move?”

“Besok.”

Waita minute.

"What's? Tomorrow then? Why so fast. I can only prepare myself at the earliest of a week. How can I live a day without seeing you. I changed my mind, don't go there, stay here. We'll go together."

"Huh ...."

I saw him pinch his forehead, shake his head, looking disappointed at my complaint.

Maybe it was because I was acting like a child.

In the end, I could only give up and make the most of the time before he left.
