SCHOOL IN THE CITY IS DEAD
SCHOOL IN THE CITY DEAD 21

Currently Hiroshi was sitting in his study, picking up his phone and dialing Nakamura's phone number. After a few notes, the phone lifted. "Hello, Nakamura-san," Hiroshi said in a calm voice.

"Hiroshi-san, what's the news?" nakamura asked in a slightly anxious voice.

"Inugami can't help us this time. They are surrounded by yokai in Hokkaido and their organization is involved in a heated conflict with Erika Furahashi who is suspected as a yokai under contract with Dr. Kaito," hiroshi said in a slightly discouraged tone.

"Oh no, what should we do now?" nakamura asked in a slight panic.

"There's only one choice. We should try to deal with this matter ourselves," Hiroshi replied in a calm yet firm voice. "I have a little advice, maybe you can check more closely the areas that may be the target of yokai attacks. Feel free to ask for help from trustworthy people, and let me know if there are any developments," Hiroshi replied in a voice full of authority.

"Thank you very much Hiroshi - san, we from YHA feel helped with your advice. We will fight as much as we can and try to do our best. Once again thanks for the information, Hiroshi-san," Nakamura said in a slightly eased voice.

"It's Nakamura-san" Hiroshi said

"Alright, I will immediately tell the other friends to take the necessary action. Is there anything I can do to help?" ask Nakamura.

"I thank you for your offer, but I think I can handle this matter myself. However, if there is anything you think could help, please tell us immediately," Hiroshi replied kindly.

"I mean, do you need help from the YHA organization?" ask Nakamura again.

"Thank you, but not necessary. I appreciate your offer, I will still address this matter myself" Hiroshi replied firmly.

Nakamura understood that Hiroshi wanted to solve this problem in his own way. Although Nakamura felt a little disappointed that he couldn't help, he respected Hiroshi's decision. "Alright, if Hiroshi - san needs any help, please do not hesitate to contact YHA. I will always be ready to help" Nakamura said sincerely.

"Thank you, Nakamura - san. I'll call the staff if there's anything I need" Hiroshi replied politely.

After speaking with Nakamura, Hiroshi felt a little relieved. He knew that this matter would become difficult, but he was also confident that he and the Inugami family members could handle the matter well. After finishing the call, Hiroshi walked towards the living room and sat down beside Keyaru. Keylaru looked at his father with a curious look.

"What's going on, Dad?" ask Keyaru.

Hiroshi explained the situation that was going on in Hokkaido. He tells Keyaru that Inugami's organization is busy dealing with continuous attacks from the yokai.

"I hope they can handle this matter well," Keyaru said with a concerned tone.

"I hope so too. However, I believe in their ability to solve this problem," Hiroshi said as he placed his hand on Keyaru's shoulder.

"Let's pray for their safety" Hiroshi added.

Keyaru nodded in agreement and the two prayed together for the safety of Inugami and the people involved in the conflict. They both hoped that this situation would quickly pass and peace would return to Hokkaido.

"Ano... " Aika came to the room, Hiroshi and Keyaru saw the arrival of Aika who was in the doorway of the room. "So I saw Akuryo (evil spirit) passing above. I was trying to catch him but he was very fast and not chased" Aika said

"We must act immediately" said Rin who came suddenly, he immediately took his bag and sword

"Keyaru, did Amata talk to you about her race?" hiroshi asked Keyaru

Keyaru replied "Yes, he asked me to gather all his descendants. But I refused to help her, I still did not fully trust her. I'm worried and suspicious that he's leading his descendants to harm humans"

"That's it" Hiroshi picked up the book and pen nearby and looked at Aika "Aika - chan, can you tell Akuryo what you see in more detail?"

"Yes. Akuryo had a large, pitch-black body, like a living shadow," Aika said seriously.

Keyaru and Rin see what Hiroshi does from his book "Hmm, what about his eyes?" hiroshi asked continuing to draw the creature that Aika told him about.

"His eyes were red burning like embers. And every time she breathes, fire comes out of her mouth and nose," Aika replied in detail.

"Interesting," Hiroshi said as he focused on drawing.

"Then, there are more special features that you notice?"

"Akuryo has long, sharp nails like knives. And her voice was also very jarring, making the ground tremble every time she moved," explained Aika.

After that Hiroshi paused for a moment and looked at his finished image. Aika who was curious about the results also saw it.

After seeing the results Hiroshi was so shocked he looked at Keyaru and said "Akuryo, this was told by your mother to me before. This Akuryo has summoning magic. He can summon or bring in all kinds of yokai from different dimensions. He is almost the same as Amata, and does not join any group or organization"

"It's urgent, we have to find it before Amata does" Keyaru said

"Actually, I had also seen Amata - just as chasing after her" Aika said

Keyaru, and Aika look at Rin. They still did not understand why Rin said that.

"Rin, do you trust Amata?" asked Keyaru who was still not expecting

"Yes. If he really betrayed us then I would have killed him myself" Rin said more emphatically

"All right" said Keyaru

**************

From the other side Amata is seen flying to chase Akuryo.

"Don't think that you're faster than Akuryo" Amata increased his flying speed to catch up to Akuryo. Finally he managed to keep up with his speed and currently Amata was flying beside him.

Akuryo gets annoyed as Amata keeps forcing him to get the information he has. For Akuryo, freedom was of paramount importance, and he did not want to join anyone's forces, let alone help an enemy he considered a traitor. However, at that time, Amata would not just retreat. He has committed to protecting, even if it means having to force someone to join them.

"Listen, Akuryo. We need you to help us deal with the great threat from Makai no Ishi-dan and Yokai Council that threaten the very existence of humans. You have amazing skills and that can be very useful for us. Don't waste your ability on something evil. We can give you anything you want if you're willing to help us."

Akuryo was not impressed by Amata's offer, he continued to stand in his place with a cold gaze that looked at Amata who was still flying beside him. He shook his head, "I can't help you. I refuse to join you."

Amata could not help his frustration and dissatisfaction. He was upset that Akuryo continued to refuse. However, he cannot allow the threat to continue, and he must do everything he can to keep his promise of helping Nakamura and breaking his curse. "I have no choice but to force you with violence if that's what it takes. I can't take any chances if this threat is so big and dangerous."

Hearing Amata's words, Akuryo became disturbed. He looked at Amata sharply, "Don't underestimate my strength. If you challenge me, then you will feel my overwhelming power."

Without much further ado, the two landed themselves in a large place. The two of them stood in their respective places and prepared to attack each other. Akuryo uses his magic to summon his yokai army, and they begin to surround Amata from all directions. However, Amata did not panic. He knows exactly that he is one of the strongest yokai, and he can face whatever challenges come his way.

Amata immediately pulled out his magic sword and prepared to face Akuryo's attack. The two began to move swiftly, each of them unleashing a powerful attack. Akuryo uses his magic to summon yokai troops to attack Amata, while Amata dodges and attacks with his magic sword.

As the attack continued, Akuryo's forces continued to attack from all directions, while Amata continued to dodge and attack with incredible speed. They struck each other and unleashed an extremely powerful attack, creating an extremely powerful sound of bang that shook the air. Akuryo unleashed attacks of fire and lightning, while Amata changed his weapon which was originally a sword into a bow and arrow in an instant. He attacked Akuryo's attack with ice and wind arrows. Each of their attacks had incredible strength and collided with each other in midair. "Why do you have to be so stubborn, Akuryo?" amata asked while shooting out some ice arrows towards Akuryo.

"I told you, I don't want to get involved in your business, Amata!" reply Akuryo while issuing a lightning strike towards Amata.

Amata dodged the lightning strike by drifting to the side and releasing a few more ice arrows. The attack successfully hit Akuryo, but he still stood with his remaining strength.

"Don't act like a child, Akuryo. We need your help to stop the organization Dr. Kaito and Erika that's it." said Amata as he moved his hand and created a huge storm and whirlwind that led towards Akuryo.

Akuryo managed to dodge the huge storm and gale by drifting upwards and unleashing another lightning strike towards Amata. The attack hit Amata and made him fall a few meters down but Amata did not feel any pain. He actually showed his trademark smirk because without Akuryo knowing, Amata has the ability to regenerate quickly.

"You won't beat me, Amata!" akuryo said as he unleashed a fire and lightning strike towards Amata. Akuryo secretly wondered why Amata was not hurt at all, but he had clearly seen an arrow hitting him.

Amata tried to dodge the attack and counterattacked with several ice arrows aimed at Akuryo. The attack hit Akuryo, but he still survives.

"You still don't understand, Akuryo. Our strength will only be limited if we fight alone" said Amata while issuing a wind attack that leads towards Akuryo.

Akuryo managed to dodge the attack and unleashed another fire and lightning attack towards Amata. The attack hit Amata and knocked him several meters to the side.

"Already, Akuryo. We're working together to stop Dr. Kaito and Erika" said Amata as she stood and looked at Akuryo.

Akuryo was silent for a moment, then he finally nodded. "alright. I'll help you stop Erika" he said. He woke up and looked at Amata complaining "You always force me, Amata. When are you going to learn not to force others?"

"Already, Akuryo. We have to focus on our task now" Amata said.

"Alright, but don't expect me to be your best friend after this," Akuryo said as he ruffled his hair.

Amata laughs. "It's okay. I'm used to your grumpy character."

"You mean I'm grumpy?" reply Akuryo while raising his eyebrows.

"of course. Aren't you the one who massacred the entire city of Hokkaido a few days ago?" amata Goda.

"Hey, it wasn't me fucking!" Akuryo did not accept

"Oh so yes" Amata

"And another one, my name is Hakata. So don't call me Akuryo." Hakata said
