RISE OF CHIMERA: The Beginning Of This Story
~SOMETHING A FOREIGN~
The school festival is held on Friday. So for Saturday and Sunday, you could say all parties are being benefited. The school has time to clean up the mess because of the festival.
As for all the students, they could all take a break from the busyness they got during the festival. Not to mention for the losing side, they might need an extra break to restore their mood.
At night at Yoki's house, today is Sunday which means the final day that will meet the beginning of his school activities tomorrow.
To spend the last day of the week, Yoki was on the carpet watching television. His feet are crossed with the body asleep to the side. His eyes and sleep direction were facing the television in front of him. At first glance, implied drowsiness that began to control him.
A 24-inch television set is placed on top of a small closet. For Yoki, being able to watch the events available in it, it was already incredible.
Yoki's one hand formed a right angle to support his head. One more hand was seen playing with the television remote, flailing the channel to find an interesting channel before he went to sleep.
His finger-picking ended up on a news channel. At first glance Yoki stared at the news headline below, then focused his gaze on the news presenter who was speaking.
The news being talked about is heartbreaking news. The incident took place in the forest around Beppu City. Nine deer carcasses were found lying around the forest. The distance of one carcass with another is quite close, ranging from 2.5 meters to 4 meters. It can be concluded, they are deer in groups.
The condition of these carcasses is really strange, it does not seem like a toxic effect because black smoke appears from behind the carcass. The strange faces of the victims of death still looked ordinary with a puff of black smoke coming out from inside.
A glance at the fur of Yoki's saddle shuddered, just for a moment. Because he did not want to be accompanied to sleep with his fear.
“This is the second incident, well,” Yoki put one hand on the chin with the remote he put on the carpet, “And again happened on the island of Kyushu. The first one was in Tachibana City and now it is happening in Beppu.”
Yoki's position changed, he had been standing with a hand that turned off the television using the remote. He put down the television remote and went to the bedroom. Leaving a room half-dismayed.
The next day, in class .…
The atmosphere in the classroom was running smoothly, the teacher explained the material and the students listened with different responses. Some take it seriously, some read books, and some deliberately sleep, because they are bored with the material described.
Until suddenly, a flash appeared and lightning struck right in the front yard of the school. The incident did take place quickly, but the vibration was felt throughout the building at Yoki's school.
The reaction shown was shock. How not, in such a bright weather with an atmosphere that was still cold because it was still morning, a lightning struck quickly and left a trail of fog around it.
“I ... as familiar with this aura.”
The phrase came from a student sitting in front of Yoki's desk bench, none other than Gaia. His face was subdued, in contrast to the other disciples who immediately panicked and wondered loudly, the topic was none other than the lightning and lightning strikes that sounded so loud earlier. Gaia's eyes were slightly turned out of the window facing the other school building.
Gaia's heart continued to clench in fear, this reaction did not come from her own desires. But like automatically coming out.
“Another sign ... kah?”
******
Inside the entrance of the school building, two students were preparing to go to her class. The two of them heard the sound of thunderbolts, yet they were more afraid of the teacher's thunderous rage. As they were about to raise one of their feet on the higher floor.
“AKHH ...”
A groan of pain. First the tone was hard, then weakened and stopped. Simultaneously, an entrance made of glass bounced inside. The door was hit by something, the pressure from the crashing object was so strong that the two students bounced and stuck perfectly on the wall.
Smoke covered the object. But when the dust began to move away, the object revealed its form. A large horned deer, at first glance the type is not too foreign but other characteristics make it look foreign. His brown body was like it was enveloped by a pitch-black aura, his eyes were red with bursts of black smoke coming out of his mouth.
For a moment he looked in all directions, like he was looking for something. The nose sniffed until he found the target he was looking for.
“Something happened on the front door.”
A student heard the strange thing.The blow could be heard, at least by six to seven classes near the entrance of the school.
“First lightning, both sounds so loud. Actually, what happened?”
The question was raised by a schoolgirl curled up on her desk, her face so frightened at the strange events that occur today.
In fact, this fear had also spread throughout the room, until some classes stopped the lesson for a moment. Waiting for notifications from the school, through speakers installed in the classroom.
“I'll check it.”
A student ventured to go to a sliding class door. Only a moment later did he slide the door, someone grabbed him by the shoulder.
“Shiba, are you sure?”
“Ahh .. You guys are too scared, maybe it was just a small accident.”
“Hmmm .. Maybe you are right.”
His friend confirmed Shiba's argument. A reason that is quite reasonable, because the front door area of the school is also being renovated.
His friend removed his hand from Shiba's shoulder. Then walk backwards to see his friend. As Shiba had already opened half the classroom door, he turned his head out. However ….
“Ahhhhhhhh ..”.
Shouts were made by all the students in the class, not least with their master teacher. Shiba's head blackened and emitted black smoke, as a high-speed object passed through it. He is dead, dead standing with a mind that does not know what has happened to his life.
Meanwhile, the teacher took a swift step to call the school so that no one went out of class. Also, he said that the entire room with the door was immediately closed. Of course there is a room with people in it.
Hearing the report, the school immediately notified him through speakers installed throughout the classroom, canteen, and vital places in the school.
“Eh wait a minute. Why am I suddenly trying to stand up. What's the matter?”
Gaia murmured again, but her mind went quickly when she heard the announcement.
“Ahhh yes, if I just shut up then everyone in this class will die. That creature is only after me, I cannot sacrifice the lives of these innocent people.”
Really, it wasn't all because of his own will. But somehow, he agreed to follow his instinct. Or it could be, it wasn't the usual Gaia.
They could only guess who the opponent was. It could be******, criminals, suicide bombings, school hostage situations, etc.
“What's Gaia?”
“I want out of class ma'am. Tigers go to toilet.”
“Please hold well son. Now is not the right time, there is something dangerous at this school. Mother please please wait yah.”
The teacher's request was not granted by Gaia. Because, sooner or later this class will be ravaged by monsters that target Gaia.
This Gaia thought could not be allowed to. It is better that he die without sacrificing others, than to die carrying the guilt of his failure to protect everyone.
Without lingering any longer, with all the preparations that were not even ripe yet. Gaia's footsteps spontaneously ran towards the classroom door, Yoki and Kecihi also followed. The teacher who saw it wanted to stop Gaia's actions, but could not.
Moreover, the entire class was mute right now, fear emanated from the eyes of the students in the classroom. Until they like to stick tightly in their respective chairs.
“Gaia, what are you doing?”
“Why are you also coming?”
Yoki's question was answered again with a question. Now they were outside the classroom and the danger was approaching.
“If you are in danger, so are I and Kenichi. But, do I want to know why you left class? You've heard the school announcement.”
“Mo-monster was after me.”
Short but full of confusion. Yoki actually wanted to ask even more clearly, but the danger was already preparing to welcome them. Right at the corner of the first floor hallway, appeared a pitch-black aura creature had prepared with both horns directed in line with the three of them.
“CIKH .. he is already here.”
Slowly the three of them moved back, so that the creature did not make a sudden movement. Arguably this is also useless, because it is the result of each personal reflex.
“HUFFFF ...”
The deer exhaled strongly, black smoke reappeared along with the outgoing breath. The deer took a swing with one leg tapped to the floor. A moment later, the horns were cut off and the deer began to run after them, more precisely Gaia.
“The speed is amazing.”
Kenichi spoke with the body turned upside down. Likewise with his two friends, but the speed of the three of them is still inferior to the speed of the deer.
It could be seen from the deer that the longer, the closer they got. As the three of them were already within reach of the deer jog, suddenly there was the sound of blood flying, spurting in all directions. The blood stuck as a spot on the wall of the hallway in front of the classroom.
Are they dead? No, the three of them are still safe. However ….
“Bu Mariko.
Spontaneous speech came out of Kenichi's mouth. Fear and sadness suddenly began to mix. Their homeroom teacher willingly sacrificed his life.
“Sorry well Kenichi, at that time the mother chose to compensate for Terasaka's mistakes. Anyway mother feels guilty, and as a sign of sorry mother .. mother wants to give the last parting gift.”
“I never asked ...”
Kenichi was aware of that. He was never again upset after knowing the facts. But what made him so sad was the trust Terasaka had given him.
“Let you know it over time, now quickly go or mother's sacrifice will be in vain. And also, please be more excited yah Yoki. I'm sure you will be able to achieve your goals someday. So did Gaia and Kenichi. Well, since it's finished .. our lesson closes for today.”
The speech was so sad, because it coincided with the bell of the subject change. Moreover, he said, while giving a beautiful smile, maybe it was his last smile.
“At least, mom wants to succeed as a teacher.”
Kenichi is still petrified, as soon as he remembers his past. He can't protect those around him.
At least that was the thought that haunted him, to make his body petrified.
The same thing also felt Yoki and Gaia who stopped moving, because of the unexpected. Tears were pouring out, but it was useless for now.
Yoki and Gaia were aware of that. Although they wept over the death of their teacher, it would be more painful if they did not fulfill their final request.
Eventually they both force to pull Kenichi's hand, so that his consciousness recovers.
By calling out his name aloud, Kenichi soon recovered from his daydream. He turned back, looking at his two friends who were tugging at his hands.
“Sorry, let's continue ...”
Finally Kenichi had the intention to continue his steps. Yoki and Gaia were relieved by taking off their grip.
For a moment Kenichi looked back, looking at the deer swinging Mariko's body in all directions with its horns. Actually the deer antler was quite not sharp, but what makes Mariko bu injured is the dark aura that enveloped the body of the deer.
Ms. Mariko was lifeless, but the deer continued to torment her body. Trying to release the body of Mariko's mother attached to her horn. Until, there was the sound of flesh torn and bones crushed from the corpse of Mariko ma'am.
Sticking perfectly on the wall to illustrate the cruelty of the deer.
Meanwhile Yoki, Gaia, and Kenichi had already exited through the back door of the school. They continued to run non-stop until they reached the school gate. From there, without resting for a moment, they immediately went to a place.
Calling the police is free. Because if they just wait for the police to come, of course they are already the corpse of the deer.
For the creature, of course, he will not take off his hunting target easily. The creature again ran while tracking the whereabouts of his prey with a sense of smell.
