Grand Fate: El Muerto
Voxx

The meeting room was immediately quiet, Gaki and Shin again sat in their seats, "I hope that what you say is not a lie, I will tell Master Tao about this, I hope, you guys better wait here," Shin walked out of the meeting room while carrying his laptop.

"What do you want from us?," Yuu hit the table and pointed his index finger at Gaki, Gaki silently answered nothing, "you have other intentions right?," Yuu further raised his tone, "enough, shut up," Han patted Yuu on the shoulder.

"I can't believe you also decided to join the Student Executive Organization, I thought you were just a strong idler fool," Ray smiled lightly, Gaki still did not give any reaction.

Gaki stood up from his chair, he stepped out of the meeting room. "Did I say something too late?," Ray thought back to what he had previously said, "I'll catch up with him," Eden stood up and went out of the meeting room.

In the hallway of the main building, Gaki was walking towards the stairs, Eden chased after him from behind, "stop there, Gaki!," Eden shouted at him, "what else?, you want to insult me too?,"""no, but I want to ask you something."

"What do you want to ask?" Gaki stopped his steps, the hallway was empty, there was only Eden and Gaki, there was no sound of wind or birdsong. "Why do you want to be the strongest?," Eden slightly raised her tone, "why do I want to be stronger?, you have nothing to do with it," Gaki continued in his footsteps, Eden sighed, "you want to defeat the god right?, all you do so that you can become stronger, when you yourself know that it is impossible to defeat the god alone, right?," Eden clenched his hand, "work together, we defeat the god together."

Gaki ignored everything Eden said, he went down the stairs, leaving Eden still standing in the hallway. Eden turned around and walked back to the meeting room, "where is Gaki?," asked Han, "he went downstairs," Eden sat back in his chair, "he left his bag and laptop here, and he said, he'll be back," Yuu said, pointing at Gaki's bag and laptop, which were still connected to the projector, "how about we see the contents of his laptop?," Mizu closed the laptop, "good idea," hikari.

Mizu closes the page of Gaki's presentation that was previously used, he opens the documents file belonging to Gaki, there are only three files, Gaki presentation page and two other folders. It says Mount Fuji, and the supermarket attack. Mizu opened both files, in which there are several data that have been previously submitted, including points about the Philippines.

After finishing looking through the two folders, Mizu opened the private folder owned by Gaki, the contents are empty, Gaki does not keep any secrets on his laptop. "It looks like what Shin said was right, Gaki kept all his needs in a notebook," Mizu closed Gaki's laptop, and he went back to his laptop. "I still don't know why Gaki behaved like that, what's the point of being strong if not used to help people," Hikari ate her snack, "just because she wanted to be stronger, just because she wanted to be stronger, he didn't want to lose to anyone," Han said, "it seems like he had a trauma as a child, it pushed him to become stronger," Kudo began to talk, "then why did he offer to go to Voxx?," Hikari grew confused, "you saw that earlier right?, he showed me the letters about the assassins who came from the Philippines, and they were after the god, and they were looking for him, Gaki goes with Voxx to defeat the assassins, and becomes the only one who will defeat the god," Eden explains in more detail, "so he indirectly invites us to help him to compete?," Hikari again asked, "he wants us to fight, that's all," Ray said calmly.

The atmosphere of the meeting room went quiet again, Mizu's hand stopped pressing the button, Hikari stopped eating her snacks, Kai stopped playing her phone, the word 'fight' was a very sensitive word for them.

For Voxx, they never fight, they just defend their pride and save themselves, something like this has been implanted in their brains since childhood, unlike Gaki who had been required to fight since childhood, he lives alone without being accompanied by anyone, even though he was left in front of an orphanage, but he was not accepted there, or rejected.

"Fight?, we are not power-hungry humans who are just filled with ego," Han looked at Ray, the atmosphere of the meeting room getting hotter. "I'm just saying, anyway I'm not involved in this," Ray turned his face away from Han, "then what are you doing here?," Yuu turned to Ray, "no, nothing, I'm just relaxing here," Ray put on a flat face, he didn't feel ashamed, "initially Ray I asked to help me get here," Eden explained about Ray's whereabouts, "then why did he stay here?," Han further raised his tone of voice, "is there a problem with you?," Ray behaved indifferently towards Han, "of course, this is a special meeting room for executive members, so what are you really doing here?" Han repeated his question. Ray silently did not answer the question from Han, he stood up and walked out of the meeting room. "It looks like you're missing, Han," said Kai.

The great bell rang, the sign of a change of learning hours. Voxx who was still in the meeting room came out to go to their respective classes, Gaki's laptop was still on there.

Gaki goes to the meeting room to get his laptop, he sees his laptop in closed condition, someone has used it, but he doesn't mind it, Gaki puts it in a bag and goes to class.

Master Wang has not yet entered the classroom, Gaki walks towards his seat which is beside Eden, this time Eden does not seek attention from Gaki, they are in dispute. After Master Wang entered the classroom, the lesson began, Shin had only entered the classroom in the midst of Master Wang's explanation.

The clock shows at 15:00, the Great Bell sounds, the time of changing lessons again. Before the class was dissolved, Master Wang gave some notice, "one month from now, our academy will hold the Youth Culture Festival, and two weeks from now will be held the midterms, the midterms will be held, I hope you prepare it in earnest, festival participants will also be from outside the academy, because that will be the committee is expected to get ready," said Master Wang.

After the lesson was over, Gaki immediately walked back to his house, in front of the gate of Shin academy called out to him, "i was talking to Master Tao and Master Kim, just now, they both agreed with your entry into the Student Executive Organization, they appointed you head of security, you were in a group with Nova from 3-B class, Zein and Taki from 3-C class, as well as Quin from 3-D class, actually the security group is not there, but you guys are appointed as the security committee for the festival later, I've told the four of them, hopefully you can be good friends," Shin patted Gaki on the shoulder and left her.

Gaki sighed, he continued his steps back home, but before that his shoulder was patted again by someone, "yo, you're Gaki, right?, mistaking me for Zein," someone patted Gaki's shoulder, his hair was short black, he was 180 cm tall, he was wearing a checkered patterned shirt with plain clothes in it, "go there," Gaki ignored Zein's words and left him just like that.

Gaki arrived home, he did the routine he used to do, put his bag in the room and went to the bathroom. After cleaning up, Gaki stays in his room, now still at 17:00, and Gaki decides to go out for a while.

Gaki walked to one of the minimarkets near his house, the minimarket provides a place for people who want to relax while drinking coffee. Gaki ordered a cup of cappucino, he sat there quietly while reading the magazine provided, several times Gaki looked at the passing cars.

"Hi, are you relaxing?" said someone from the chair beside Gaki. Gaki turned towards the person, he looked like a Junior High, he was wearing a black uniform and pants, and there was a big blue bag placed on the side chair. "It's none of your business" Gaki ignored the boy's words, he went back to reading his magazine. "I guess students are now more modern and more reliable in technology, it turns out there are also those who are still outdated like you," the boy laughed, he quipped Gaki, "what do you mean," Gaki did not turn his head in the slightest, but he returned with a great anger, "ah, you're angry, I'm just kidding, sorry," the boy turned his face away from Gaki, he looked real embarrassed, he looked real embarrassed, not made up, "I hope you know what you're doing" Gaki continued reading the magazine.

"But I'm confused, why do you still read old magazines that are no longer produced?, even they are now issuing news online, there are only a few remaining magazine production factories," the boy did not look at Gaki, he also read one of the magazines, "this is just my hobby," Gaki replied briefly.

After his coffee runs out, Gaki intends to go home, he steps back to his house which is not too far from the minimarket. "Wait!," the boy drew Gaki's right hand, he stopped his steps, "help me," the boy showed his sad face, Gaki did not know what he should do, he said, they only met twenty minutes ago, "what are you really doing, son," Gaki set his eyes on the little boy, "can we not talk about it here?," the boy began to cry.

Gaki takes the child to his house, they sit in a fairly narrow living room. "Tell me everything" Gaki offered the child a glass of milk he had prepared before, "both of my parents had already died in a plane crash when I was a toddler, and I was living with my uncle, but two years ago my uncle died in a train accident, after which I lived with my grandparents, but a week ago my grandmother died in a car accident, and today I was kicked out by my grandfather and considered an unlucky bearer, I don't know where else to go," the boy started crying, he looked so crushed to the core, he lost it all.

"plane, train, and car accidents, I know about train and car accidents, but not with the plane crash, were you there at the time of the accident?" Gaki grew curious about the child, "I went with all three, and survived all that, grandfather said I was guarded by the devil," the boy spoke as he faltered slightly, he could not bear to tell his past, "what Grim do you have, son?"

Actually, asking someone Grim is a forbidden thing written in the law, because it can endanger some parties, but if the owner is willing to tell, will not be questioned, he said, even if the owner shows it himself.

Gaki is increasingly convinced by his Grim, but he has some final questions for the boy. "So you came up to me knowing I was going to bring you here?" asked Gaki, "no, all my visions are not absolute visions, they can change as I do, like for example I want to go to place A, if I stretch to the right, I can see a barking dog, congestion, and if I step to the left, I can see a barking dog, I could see the sleeping cat, the one who was washing the bike, so I named it Changed Fate."

Gaki for a moment, "all right, since it's night, you just sleep here, by the way, what's your name?," Gaki stood up, "my name is Eiji S-," Before he finished his sentence, Gaki cut his words, "no need to mention your surname, sleep here tonight, Eiji," Gaki went to the kitchen and cleaned the glass containing the milk.

After everything was cleared, Eiji took out his belongings from the blue bag he was carrying, "does your school know about this?," Gaki asked while cleaning his mattress, "it seems like grandfather also resigned me from school," Eiji returned gloomily, "then, come with me tomorrow to train at the gym, maybe you can join the training there, how old are you?," "15 years old, I'm in 1st grade of High School, oh yeah, I forgot to ask about you," "my name is Gaki, 19, I'm in my 3rd year at the academy," "you went to that great Tokyo Academy?," Eiji looked excited, Gaki smiled at him, "sleep, tomorrow will be a great day,"

Eiji and Gaki sleep, Gaki does not show his apathy anymore in front of Eiji, he feels comfort, as he felt with Noah first, Gaki already considers Eiji, and he feels comfort, the boy he had met for a few hours, as his sister.

Gaki was awakened by the sound of the kitchen a little noisy, he sat for a while, refreshing his eyes, he checked into the kitchen because he thought there was an animal walking around, but it was not. "Ah, you're awake, I'm cooking ramen," Eiji turned to Gaki with a smile, Gaki returned his smile, he went to the living room to prepare his table, "food is ready!," Eiji brought a pot containing ramen, and he separated it into two bowls provided by Gaki, "ittadakkimasu!," Eiji began to eat his homemade ramen, followed by Gaki, "tasty, not disappointing," Gaki enjoys Eiji's ramen, he looks happy. "You don't have to find a place to live anymore, stay with me" said Gaki, "really? Then what about grandfather?," Eiji's eyes seemed to sparkle, "let it be time for him to be aware of the choice he gave you," Gaki smiled again for the umpteenth time.

After finishing breakfast, Gaki and Eiji get ready to go to the gym, Eiji uses his shirt which he carries in his bag, "after finishing training, Eiji uses his clothes, we better go to the supermarket first to buy you a shirt," Gaki rubbed Eiji's head, "good idea," Eiji smiled widely.

They went to the sports hall using a taxi, "by the way, if you live alone too, where do you get money from?," Eiji tried to eliminate the silence in the taxi, "money?, I got a scholarship and allowance from the state, therefore I don't need to do an internship," Gaki smiled faintly, "you're lucky to have these years the government held such a scholarship, haha," the taxi driver chatted with them, "but why are you going to the gym this Saturday?" "ah, we want to go practice there," Gaki was a little awkward, "practice?, "practice?, so you train your Grim, yes, hahaha, I rarely meet young people who care about the Grim, which I find only children who take refuge behind trained heroes, but only children who are not trained, they don't want to train their Grim because it's troublesome," the driver sounded a little sad, but before Gaki asked about it, they reached their destination.

Gaki and Eiji get off the taxi, after paying for it they walk into the gym. Ray was already there, he was sitting down drinking water, he was waiting for Gaki. "Hey!," Ray called the new Gaki, "who's beside you?," Ray pointed at Eiji, "he's my friend, he wants to train," Gaki was still in a happy state, he smiled slightly, "something was going on like, Gaki, I know you're quiet, but not like this," Ray sighed, "this isn't what you think," Eiji held out his hand, "it's better if we go straight to Master Zhong alone," Gaki said, "Master Zhong?," Eiji looked puzzled, "he's the teacher who taught me and Ray, oh yeah, Eiji, this is Ray, Ray, Ray, this is Eiji," Gaki introduces each of the two of them, "he looks still Junior High," Ray watches Eiji closely, "he's 1st High School," Gaki pats Ray on the shoulder.

They went to Master Zhong who was sitting while listening to music. "Good morning, Master," Ray and Gaki did an ojigi, followed by Eiji, "who's this little boy?," Master Zhong was confused, "he's my friend," Gaki smiled slightly, "you're not what you used to be, "you're not what you're like, what don't-don't you guys... Suspicious," Master Zhong noticed Eiji, "t.. No," Eiji turned his face away from Master Zhong, he laughed out loud, "by the way, your friends, Zein and Taki came here, they also took up training," Master Zhong pointed at the two people who were doing pull ups on their side.

Sports building is rectangular, the size is quite wide, the length is 50 meters and the width is 40 meters, the height reaches 10 on the side of the building, and in the middle of the building reaches 15 meters. The building has a gym facility on the right wing that can be put into the ground to expand the main field, on the left wing there is a multipurpose field. They also set up facilities for people who want to train their Grim, they have steel spaces that have been strengthened, although destroyed, they can return to the original, that is where Gaki will train his Grim.

Master Zhong went over to Zein and Taki, and they gathered with Ray and Gaki. "Well, everyone has gathered here, let's start the exercise," Master Zhong relaxed his joints, "Gaki, you try to cut down the steel, Taki, crush the steel, Ray, try to cut it, try to absorb the steel, Zein, smash the steel, NOW!," Master Zhong directly commanded the four of them, without question and doubt they did so.

Master Zhong and Eiji watched the four of them smash the steel. "Is it not too difficult to have them smash the reinforced steel? Moreover, they did it themselves," Eiji felt a little pity, whereas in front of him it was clear Gaki was using his katana to split steel 30 cm thick into paper-thin, Ray who was united with steel, Ray, Zein who hit the steel until it split in two with his hand, Taki who could crush the steel with one hand without touching it. Master Zhong answered Eiji's question with a small smile, "but, what exactly does the Grim they have?, it all looks cool," Eiji now looked amazed, "it seems like it doesn't matter if I tell you about it," Master Zhong smiled again.

"Zein, he only trained here a month ago, but he rarely comes, his grim is to make air pressure on parts of his body, as you can see, he used his punch to smash steel, it gathers the air pressure in its hand to make a much stronger punch, another example when it wants to be attacked, it can withstand the enemy's attack by focusing the wind pressure on the part to be attacked."

"Taki, his strength is similar to Zein, but he exerts pressure on other objects, in other respects it can be called psychic power. As you can see, Taki smashed the steel without touching it, because he put pressure on the steel, simpler than Zein's."

"Ray, it's actually just his nickname, his real name is Rain Fusu, he's a direct descendant of the Chinese recluse, Xijang Fusu, who is his current great-grandfather. Ray's Grim is actually a cliche, only regenerating, but he has the advantage of manipulating his body parts to atomic size, therefore he can absorb various objects such as steel, and make them part of himself, he said, but over time the effect will disappear because it is digested by his body. Ray can also give blood to others to speed up his regeneration, but it can cause side effects such as burns due to rapid growth that make his blood boil."

"Gaki, his Grim is so unique, he has a black flame that can be turned into anything, a sword, a gun, an axe, his favorite weapon now is a katana. The fire used by Gaki will be forever in his control, Gaki can move to his fire that is somewhere else, no matter how far it is, but when he moves to his fire, Gaki can move to his fire, then the fire will be reabsorbed by him. Gaki's fire can also cast a shadow of him, he can reproduce himself, but only has 1 percent of Gaki's true power."

"From the four of them, it's only Gaki that I have the most difficulty understanding how it works, but as long as he can control it, everything will be in control, because Gaki's strength is even above mine," Master Zhong smiled proudly. Eiji looked back at the four of them, Gaki looked very different, he gave off a negative aura around him, Gaki held his katana exactly like the samurai in the past, once he swung his sword, Gaki held his katana, a piece of steel was instantly cut into paper. "Did they use their full strength to destroy the steel?," Eiji looked curious, "oh no, they didn't even use all of their strength, they only used the power from each breath they took," replied Master Zhong, "but, what Grim does Master have?," Eiji was now trying to figure out the strength of the four of their teachers, "simple, "simple, I can teleport."

After all the pieces of steel were destroyed, Gaki and the others went to sit down, the steel was rearranged to its original place. "You said they didn't use their strength, but they looked exhausted," Eiji again asked Master Zhong a question, "no, son. The real test was not in smashing a lot of steel, but holding back the power they wanted to unleash, Gaki could have destroyed this one building in a single slash, Taki could tear down and flatten the building with a single fist, Zein could have flown the building in one flick of a hand, and Ray could have swallowed the whole building by just touching it with his little finger," replied Master Zhong again.

Eiji's eyes twinkled, he was amazed by the four of them. Gaki took the drink that the building had provided, "hey, Gaki, speaking of festivals, when are we going to have a meeting?," asked Zein to Gaki who was drinking the water, "meeting?, aren't we the security committee?," Gaki looked confused, "we have to divide the locations that will be guarded by people," Taki looked a little disappointed with Gaki's answer, "but you look cool with this attitude, you're different when you're using Grim" Ray chuckled.

After finishing training, Gaki and Eiji decided to go home first, they wanted to go to the supermarket to buy Eiji some clothes. "Since supermarket A is under renovation, we're going to supermarket B" Gaki points to supermarket B, which is directly opposite supermarket A, where he first fought the Filipinos.

They bought some clothes there, while trying on Eiji's clothes several times asking questions to Gaki. "Gaki, what name did you give your Grimmu?," said Eiji, Gaki slightly puzzled, "i didn't give him a name, I just called him Black Fire, but that sounds weird, doesn't it?," Gaki smiled slightly, "your power makes weapons, right?, how about Weapon Master?," Eiji gave a suggestion, "sounds cool, I like it."

After finishing shopping, Gaki and Eiji went home, they went home by walking because the distance was not too far, on the way home Gaki met someone, he stopped his steps, he stopped his steps, the person stands in front of Gaki while looking at him sharply, Gaki's nature goes back to the beginning, he shows a heartless cynical look, it is Eden.

"What are you doing here, step aside," cried Gaki, Eiji immediately felt sinister and a little frightened, Eden immediately did ojigi in front of Gaki, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, "GOMENNASAI!, he was!, GONTONI GOMENNASAI!," Eden shouted in apology in front of Gaki, people saw them, because of the shame people saw, Gaki also returned ojigi from Eden, then he pulled Eden away from the crowd.

Gaki takes Eden to a small alley on the side of the road. "What do you think?!," Gaki pulled Eden's collar, "you're not apologizing but making me even more embarrassed!," Gaki raised his tone. "I just wanted to apologize," Eden showed a sad expression, she shed tears, "it looks like you're overreacting a little, Gaki," Eiji nudged Gaki, "well, I accept your apology, I didn't think about it anymore, let's go, Eiji, let's go" Gaki walked away from Eden who was still standing still, standing still, Eden was in disbelief at the acceptance of her apology by an apathetic monster, all going easier than she thought.

Eden goes and chases Gaki further away, "GAKI! LET ME JOIN THE MU DEFENSE DIVISION!," cried Eden, Gaki who had far stopped his steps, he raised his hand and gave his thumbs up, "DON'T DISAPPOINT ME, YES!," Gaki turned around and smiled at Eden, he had already turned happier.
