Grand Fate: El Muerto
Ignorances

Gaki stood in front of one of the criminals while pointing his sword, the villain looked terrified. "Hey, put your hands down!" said another criminal who had just got out of the car. People were running out of supermarkets, some were taken hostage, some were trying to fight back, but most of them lost because they were being held captive.

Gaki lowered his hand, he pulled back his sword-shaped Grim. "Sit down!" three criminals pointed their rifles at Gaki, and sat quietly to their will. Gaki clenched his hands, he held back his growing anger.

The bullets of the criminals' rifles were made from a Grim extraction mixture of destroyers, they could penetrate a steel wall with a thickness of 2 meters. The body of the rifle is made of steel formed and reinforced with Grim, but that does not mean it is impossible to split.

Gaki sits still, sipping his spilled coffee back, the thug he dropped running and returning to the crowd of his friends, there is a criminal ready to shoot Gaki in the head at any time. Gaki several times pay attention to the movements of criminals, their motives are not seen in money, some do ask for customer money, but it is only a few people from criminals. "What do you want here?," Gaki asked one of the criminals who was watching him, "you don't need to know anything about this," the criminal only answered Gaki's question, he doesn't even look at Gaki, "then why are you here with so many people and full weaponry, the police can come at any time," Gaki again drank his coffee.

There has been no sign of police arrival, the longer Gaki gets suspicious, he feels that this is the effect of Grim seeoran. According to Gaki, he manipulated the eyes of people outside the supermarket by making the supermarket look safe and ordinary, but there should be some people who go inside if they see the supermarket building just plain, unless there are 2Grim working together at this time.

Gaki looked around, the criminals were still looking for something, he did not see any criminals dressed like their leaders, all dressed the same, dressed in patterned clothes and covered in black vests, and trousers, and the beret hat is red and blue. There were 2 cars that broke into, both guarded by 2 criminals each. Gaki also saw that there were some people who were held in the same rifle as him, they were also people who had previously fought the criminals, there were about 70 people on the first floor who were held hostage by criminals, including Gaki, who was also the one who was holding them hostage, there were also some people who were sprawled after being beaten by criminals, some were hit by the criminal's car, but in Gaki's view there were no casualties there.

Gaki tried to look at the other floor, he took out his Grim and formed it into a fly, he flew three flies to three floors above it. The three floors were not much different from the first floor, everyone had already bowed their knees to the criminals, on the second floor which was the floor of a grocery shopping center filled with officers who were held hostage, he said, there were 65 people in total, some of whom had already gone out and descended to the first floor before. The third floor, the place for the clothing center, there were 58 people gathered to one point, they were guarded by five criminals, seven of them lying helpless, probably after being beaten by some criminals. The last floor, the fourth floor, there were many children crying in fear, the number of people there were 46 adults and 12 children, they were also collected in one spot like on the third floor, but there were two people separated from them. The fourth floor is a playground and toy store, one of the separated people sitting in one of the seats of a car racing game, he still plays it no matter what happens around him, there was a criminal beside him watching him, there was another man sitting at the hockey table, he was sitting while watching the man playing the cars. Gaki was a little surprised, as the two people were his acquaintances, he was Mizu and Hikari, two people who were popular in the academy as Deadly Duo, they did look ordinary when alone, they were, but when the two of them are together, they can outweigh anyone.

Mizu is the one playing the car racing game, while Hikari is sitting on the hockey table, they act calm as if there is no problem, because as long as they are together, they can always pass through. Hikari and Mizu are the opposite of Gaki who doesn't like to socialize, they always greet strangers, give gifts, and encourage each other, different from Gaki who always does not care about others and makes a down.

After seeing all the floors, Gaki pulled back his Grim, his fly flying back towards him, but one of his flies on the fourth floor stopped because of something, the flies are bound by threads formed from electricity. The fly was pulled by someone, and it was Hikari's act, he used his Grim to pull Gaki's fly and catch it.

"Moshi Moshi, dare desuka?," someone's voice instantly appeared in Gaki's ear, it was Hikari's voice that he sent through Gaki's fly. "You, Hikari right, what are you doing there," Gaki sent his voice over his fly, "as you see with this little fly of yours, I'm waiting for Mizu to play," Hikari calmly said, "can't you read the situation?" Gaki grew annoyed at Hikari's belittling of the criminals, "calm down, the police will come, too," "that's why I told you to throw away that calm attitude of yours, the villains seem to be using a power that makes others unable to see the real situation, we'll keep here until they're gone," "I don't have a problem waiting that long, anyway there's plenty of food." Gaki sighed, he tried to hold back his overflowing anger, "hey stupid, use your electricity to search for the Grim barrier user, find him," Gaki gave Hikari the command, "alright, use your electricity to find the Grim barrier user, look for him," Gaki gave Hikari the command, looking for something doesn't sound bad." After the conversation was over, Gaki forcibly pulled the fly away, the insect instantly turned into fire smoke and returned to Gaki at high speed, "it looks like I should do this now."

Gaki finished his coffee that was left a little, he stood up and patted his back that was a little dusty. "What do you want to do!," the criminal who was watching Gaki changed his position to be in the horses and pointed his rifle at Gaki's head which was not protected by anything, "I want to go to the toilet, I want to go to the toilet, it was on the second floor right?," Gaki walked to the escalator not far from him, but the criminal held him back by pulling Gaki's shoulder, "get your hand off me," Gaki spoke slowly, "who allowed you to go to the toilet" the criminal forcibly pulled Gaki, some of the criminals who saw them at gunpoint ready to smash Gaki's head at any moment.

Gaki sighed, he sat back down, now there are five criminals who put their gaze on Gaki, because his movements are very suspect.

On the other hand, Hikari is channeling her Grim to power lines throughout the supermarket, she channels it through the hockey machine she sits on, the electricity makes her connect with all the cameras available. Hikari doesn't see any villains different from the others, all dressed the same as Gaki saw, but it's precisely that incongruity that made her realize, all these villains are also Grim. Hikari takes off his shoes and throws them at Mizu who is playing in a toy car, Mizu does not give any reaction, he continues the game, Hikari also asks for help to the villain who watches Mizu to call him, "can you call my friend?" Hikari smiled at the villain, Mizu was whispered by the villain when Hikari called him, immediately Mizu removed her hand from her steering wheel instantly, he stood up and turned towards Hikari.

The two criminals watching over them were a little confused, Hikari raised her hand and showed the number four, but she exchanged her ring finger with her thumb, Mizu silently did not give any reaction, "can I go to the toilet?" said Mizu to one of the criminals, "no way," replied the criminal, Mizu sobbed, he sat on the floor rubbing his face, Hikari approached him and rubbed his head. The two criminals showed a look of disdain when they saw Mizu pee in her pants, they took a few steps back and looked away.

"You seem to have made a mistake, you're off guard" Mizu smiled slightly, the water she thought was turning into a spear and stabbing the two criminals, from the water that Mizu released there is a flow of electricity sent by Hikari, the two criminals also lost their consciousness, that is one of the reasons Hikari and Mizu became Deadly Duo, their level of cooperation reached level A.

They thought the action was unknown to the other criminals, but no, the entire criminal on the floor had surrounded them and was ready to shoot, the criminals on the other floor were informed of their actions, most of the villains are directed to guard Mizu and Hikari, and make the villains on the other floor wane. Gaki who saw the panic of the criminals also realized that it was time to fight, he stood up and returned to take out his fire sword, Gaki began to emit his anger.

Mizu and Hikari are a little cornered by the sheer number of criminals who are pinning their heads, but as all eyes are on them, some unnoticed hostages help them, a young boy who has the Wind Grim tries to encourage the villains, although it does not give a great effect, he manages to distract the criminals, Mizu and Hikari also pull out their flagship trick, "Stalactites!," Mizu took out the same spear as before but with a large amount, Hikari also expended a large amount of electricity into the water that Mizu controlled, most of the criminals lost their consciousness, some fired their bullets at Deadly Duo, but were easily avoided by the two of them. The attack made a fairly bright light, Gaki who was near the escalator also saw it.

After the criminals on the fourth floor are defeated, Mizu ties them together, telling the people to stay on the fourth floor while waiting for them to defeat the criminals on the third floor.

On the other hand, Gaki who is alone on the first floor against almost 10 criminals, it is because on the first floor the people are not collected in a single point that makes them scattered, it is because on the first floor, but because Gaki puts up a fight, the criminals focus on attacking Gaki. Gaki doesn't seem to have any trouble fighting 10 criminals at once, all of their shots he can avoid, even a few bullets he can slash with his sword, "i think these villains are well trained and strong, I think, but it seemed like just a weak commoner," because of Gaki's words, the criminals got angry and shot alternately, it made his rifle feel like an assault rifle, "it seems like I should do it quickly," Gaki makes a shuriken out of his fire and throws it past the criminals, as Gaki moves to his shuriken. Gaki pointed his sword at the criminals, then out a black burst of flames that set the criminals on fire, he defeated them with a single strike.

Gaki tells the people on the first floor to come out, they don't ask or thank you for running out in panic, Gaki also tells them to call the police even though he knows it won't work, if someone comes out of the Grim zone that changes vision, then the one who sees the real thing will forget about it. Gaki climbs to the second floor using an escalator, where Gaki has been awaited by the remaining criminals.

Gaki no longer wants to waste his time, he makes a long whip from his Grim, the whip takes the heat out of Gaki's fire and can fend off the bullets of criminals simultaneously. The criminals shoot like they did against Hikari and Mizu, taking turns to keep the shots from going out. Gaki with his whip runs forward towards the criminals in front of him, he throws his shuriken over the criminals and returns to teleport there, but the criminals already know Gaki's tricks, but Gaki does not run out of ideas, he throws 10 shuriken at once and teleports quickly, he moves from one shuriken to another which makes it seem like he is disappearing, the criminals who pursue Gaki's shadow are increasingly confused, amid their panic Gaki throws shuriken into the midst of the criminals and releases his shuriken form that makes a fire explosion, the criminals were burned and exposed, three of them unscathed by fire were tied with Gaki's whip and eventually burned alive. Gaki was indeed a little bothered, but this was no big deal to him.

On the other hand, Hikari and Mizu who fight on the third floor, the criminals already know Mizu's tricks, as Hikari previously suspected, these criminals are connected by something. Mizu threw her spear at the criminals, but they were able to avoid it, they were also still shooting alternately because it was the most effective way, but Hikari and Mizu already knew the direction of the shot. Mizu made a shield from the water to hold the bullets, while Hikari behind her prepared for the next attack. After Hikari prepares with his power, Mizu releases her water protector and lashes out at the criminals, "Thousand Volts Bullets," Hikari releases high-voltage electricity directed to Mizu's water current, after being hit by Mizu's water, the criminals are also hit by a stun from Hikari, they all lose consciousness.

"Then about the car on the first floor, they came from outside to bring the troops," said Mizu. In the middle of their conversation, the fallen criminals yawned, they simply disappeared, "as you can see, if Grim had yawned like this then the user was exhausted or even dead," Gaki pointed at a man who was wearing the clothes of a supermarket officer, he was bowed lethargic. Gaki, Mizu, and Hikari approached the man, "it looks like he fainted," Hikari said as she looked at the man's pupils, "we better tie him to one of the pillars," Mizu uses her Grim to make rope.

After tying up suspected Grim multiplier users, they intend to find other Grim users. "At first I thought it was a barrier Grim user, but it looks like it's a Grim that can rewrite the mind" Gaki said, "rewriting the mind? What makes you think that? Lest your mind be rewritten as well," Hikari made her hand open, "if it's just a barrier, then the outsiders can find out there's a protector here, and the police's Grim detection device will also find out, too, but by rewriting, people would drop their original purpose here, the police would forget about Grim's detection," Gaki made clear his argument, "what about Grim changing his vision?," ask Hikari again, "that includes Grim rewriting the mind," Mizu answered Hikari's question.

"So we just have to find the user huh-," as soon as Mizu's words came to a halt, she was like shocked at something, "what's up, Mizu?," Hikari was confused. "HAHAHAHAHA, YOU WON'T KNOW ME FOREVER, YOUR MIND HAS CHANGED, I seem to have to run away now," a woman shouted with satisfaction, she felt like she was the strongest person, she said, the woman runs down the escalator to get away from Hikari, Mizu, and Gaki. "Where are you going, miss?," Hikari darted with her electricity, Mizu chased after the woman using her artificial water current, and Gaki used her shuriken to chase after the woman.

After the Grim user is secured, and the police arrive, Gaki, Hikari, and Mizu are questioned about the incident. "I was shopping, then drinking coffee, suddenly the supermarket was visited by a gang of criminals, and we fought it and won," Gaki briefly explained what he was doing there, "it seemed too short," said the police officer watching Gaki, in the midst of Gaki's conversation with one of the police, another police officer came up to the police officer who was with Gaki, "ah, this is the data of the woman and the person, who is a woman named Noriel Jester, and who is a man named Tristan Efren Danilo, 41 years and 23 years, both of whom are Filipino citizens, it seems like both of them are legal tourists, the visas and passports are complete, by the way, you can leave, "The police stood up and did an ojigi followed by Mizu and Gaki, by the way, the two of them approached Hikari who was in the window of the police car, "the next time you meet us, you better pretend to be ordinary citizens, and go out, and, there's no need to change our minds, you know that the one with the lower power can be broken easily by the one with the stronger power" Hikari smiled towards the mind-altering woman.

After all the business was done, the clock showed at 22:15, Gaki headed for a small market at the turn before going to his house, he bought all the materials he needed the next few days, he said, because the item he had bought earlier had accidentally caught fire because of the fire.

Arriving home, Gaki goes to put his groceries and goes to the bathroom to clean himself. Before going to bed, Gaki tries to think about the relationship between the woman and the man with a letter from the dojo, at which point he finds the fact that he forgot, the Philippines has the name rice barn country, and the, and the main agriculture of southeast Asia, where the Philippines is made, is rice, and the location of the main ASEAN rice research center is in the Philippines, he concluded, "the killers of the peasants' country referred to in the letter are people from the Philippines."

Gaki turns on his laptop, he rarely uses it and prefers books and magazines, but this time he needs it. Gaki searched for all things about the Philippines in this 10-year span.

In 2017, the great general of the Philippines, Anthonio Nelson, died, and was succeeded by his colleague Roberto Angelo, in the same year, a few weeks after the replacement of the great General, there was a crash of 5 warplanes at a Philippine military air base that killed 7 people and injured 20. In 2019, there was an increase in rice income of 300%, in the same year the Philippines cooperated with Japan to work hand in hand to increase human resources. In 2020, there was a 200% increase in visitors from the Philippines during non-holiday periods. In 2016 there was also some commotion because of the cheating of the current Philippine president, Roberto Eduardo.

Gaki tried to connect all these things, starting with the explosion of the plane that occurred in the same year with the replacement of the great general, it happened like just a diversion of the issue about the change of general. The first names of the great generals with the president, Roberto Angelo and Roberto Eduardo, the media did not mention that they are not brothers, but what's wrong with suspecting the two names, in Japan, the family name is a symbol for everyone. In 2019, the increase in rice, in 2018 there was indeed a rapid decline in the poverty rate in the Philippines, and it made many people change from initially insulting the president because he was suspected of cheating, and many people changed from insulting the president because he was suspected of cheating, being praised and supporting him, it also became like a diversion of issues as well, just like the replacement of the general. Last point, the increase in visitors coming from the Philippines, actually this point is not very important, Gaki just thinks that maybe the criminals are using the normal path, like the previous two criminals, Gaki just thought that maybe the criminals are using the normal path, like the previous two criminals, he came to such a conclusion because they could blend in with others without suspicion.

After searching for some other information, Gaki still did not find any clue about the 'killers, ' but he found a discrepancy in the current leadership structure in the Philippines.

Tomorrow, Friday, Gaki does not have morning classes at the academy, but he still sets out to discuss something with Shin.

At the academy, Gaki goes to the meeting room of the Student Executive Organization, or the Voxx meeting room located on the second floor of the main building. Gaki enters the room without knocking or greeting first, inside there is Mizu who is playing laptop, Hikari who eats snacks and Yuu who is reading manga. "Where is Shin?," Gaki asked the three of them, "ah, Shin is going to the toilet, Han and Kudo are going to the cafeteria to buy food, Kai has not come, but he is on his way here," answer Yuu. Gaki puts his bag on a very wide meeting table, he pulls out his laptop and connects it to a projector, he displays a presentation file he made last night.

"Very ugly template," said Mizu while playing the gadget, "you want to burn, hey?," said Hikari while enjoying her snack. "Hello, what kab-what is he doing here?," Kai opened the meeting room door, he was a little surprised to find Gaki in the meeting room that was only reserved for Voxx, "he looked for Shin," Yuu answered Kai's confusion. Kai walked over to one of the chairs and put his bag on the table, and he sat down and played his phone. Gaki sits in the seat at the front, the chair is reserved for the chairman or teacher concerned.

Kudo and Han reached the room, Kudo opened the door slowly, "welcome pa-what is this guy doing here?!," Kudo asked puzzledly, "he has business with Shin," Yuu answered him again like he answered Kai before, Kudo walked to the seat beside Mizu, the right row seat. Han walked over to Gaki who was sitting quietly, "I hope you didn't do anything strange" Han told Gaki.

Since the beginning of Han and Gaki were never one frequency, they had different principles. Gaki wants to be the strongest, whereas Han has the principle to protect others, no matter how weak he is, still has to protect others.

Han sat down on the side seat of Kai, the left wing chair. After a few minutes of walking, the door was opened by the person Gaki was waiting for, Shin. Shin opened the door slowly, "always Gaki?," Shin showed a puzzled expression, Gaki immediately stood up, "alright, we start, please sit down," Gaki said to the others, "it looks like I'm on a coup," Shin chuckled softly, he pulled up the spare chair that was at the back of the meeting room.

"I'm here to tell you something that, a few days ago, there was a massive body discovery on Mount Fuji, and then yesterday, at a supermarket downtown, both of which involved me," Gaki opens the next page of his presentation file, the projector showing a photo of the letter that Gaki found, "this letter has the same meaning as the letters left behind by the other 1000 dojo," Gaki again changed the page, now the page shows some points that connect the letter of the dojo with the Philippines. "As you can see, the letter mentions 'the land of the peasants' and 'the gods', in the book 'the 1997 study and development of Grim' it is said that the ancients called the strongest user of Grim the 'God', now put that aside, the 'land of the peasants', in my research.." Gaki explained all the things he researched overnight, he leaked it all, with nothing left.

"Is there anything you want to ask?," Gaki sighed, "in what order are you doing this?," Shin asked Gaki, looking interested in what Gaki was talking about, "I want Voxx to be more useful, you guys have more potential than just making a 'holiday proposal to the playground'," Gaki looks excited, "I turned it down," Shin refused Gaki's answer.

"You're not the Gaki I know, Gaki doesn't care about other people, he's apathetic, there's no way a great Gaki would do a cooperative call, what you really want" Shin repeated his question.

"I want-," before Gaki answered Shin's question, the meeting room door was opened by someone, it was Ray and Eden, "hi, what is this," Eden smiled as she waved her hand, Ray walked in first and took a spare seat, followed by Eden who was still feeling awkward. "Go, continue with your answer" Shin said.

"I want to join Voxx," Gaki did ojigi very firmly, he did it wholeheartedly, "it looks like you're throwing away your uncaring nature, I'm sure the teachers will accept you," Shin stood up and replied to the ojigi from Gaki.
