"Are you the being that summoned me?" A dragon, the size of a skyscraper and ten miles in length, formed from jagged volcanoes, ash, and molten lava, asked with a roar.
As it emerged from the crack in the sky and took a glance at the world it was summoned to before gazing at Rin, the kid, who wasn't scared of it. With curiosity and suspicion, considering everyone else was paralyzed with fear or, at the very least, some semblance of worry or fright.
"Yes, so could you now do your job and kill this nuisance for me?" Rin stated calmly without breaking eye contact with the dragon as he pointed at Isaac, who was profusely sweating as he slowly backed away from Rin with fear.
'Just what the fuck is wrong with this dude?!' Isaac screamed mentally as dread gripped his fragile heart.
"Tsk, for a brat, you sure have some nerve to be bossing me around," The dragon scoffed as it unleashed its domain, igniting the world on fire and causing everything within a 10-mile radius to turn into ash.
Along with an insufferable wave of heat, which began to spread throughout Asia and the planet without warning.
Swoosh. Snap.
However, before things could escalate, time suddenly paused momentarily as everything except the cage that contained Isaac and Rin, entered a state of slow motion as time began to rewind like a video being played backward.
Yet, with a twist, as instead of a colossal dragon in the sky, an older gentleman forged from bronze with eyes that resembled smoldering flames, and wearing a beige suit. Stood between them with a cane in hand made from obsidian dragonite.
"So would you mind repeating yourself?" The dragon asked with a commanding tone after displaying its power. "Oh, and you may refer to me as Ash, mortal."
"Sorry, but no, Mister... so, could you just grab your meal and go already?" Rin frowned as he was starting to get ticked off by Ash's attitude.
"Guffaw! If it weren't for our contract, I would have killed you, and in the most gruesome way possible, kid. But unfortunately, my time here is limited, so I'll ignore that attitude of yours and leave," Ash laughed as he struck the ground with his cane, which produced a dull sound followed by a low rumble as the ground fractured.
Leading to chains made of living fire to burst from the earth and lunge toward a terrified Issac.
Crack! Whoosh! Sizzle!
"SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME!!!" Isaac screamed as tears and mucus coated his face as he maneuvered around the cage in terror. Yet, no matter how fast he ran or what he did, he couldn't escape his fate.
Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.
"Thanks, I guess," Rin muttered with rolled eyes as Isaac was finally captured and tied up like a gift on Christmas, just as his multi-K produced a chime to inform him that it was lunch time.
"Sigh, kids these days truly have no manners," Ash muttered to itself as it examined Rin before getting serious all of a sudden, "Kid, I'd advise you to hurry up, for the World is swiftly approaching its end. And it's only a matter of time before everything and everyone who once cherished dies, if you don't stop playing around and living life on easy mode."
He said before taking off into the sky and disappearing into the void with a chained-up Isaac, just as the fractured sky began to close, and the muffled screams of our classmate rang throughout the area one last time like a fire alarm.
***
Simultaneously, as that occurred, time also returned to normal, just without the presence of Isaac and Ash, even though the area where the dragon once stood had now turned into a puddle of lava.
Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle.
"Finally, it's over," Rin sighed with relief before his mind started to think about what the dragon had said before it left with Isaac.
'To be honest, he isn't wrong... but has it truly gotten that bad? Sigh, I guess it's time to finally tackle that hurdle before I have to depart for the training camp.'
"Tsk, no rest for the weary," Rin complained in frustration as this incident just added more to his already piling tasks to accomplish before his ascension to Multiverse Y.
However, that will have to wait until later, as the three judges and the announcer appeared a few feet away from him.
"Rin Kurama Jasper! How dare you risk the lives of your classmates and the safety of everyone within this school by summoning such a catastrophe to our world! Do you have anything to say for yourself, young man!" Olivia shouted sternly as she glared at Rin with unmasked anger and helplessness at the situation.
Considering that, although what Rin did wasn't against the rules, it still could have placed the lives of everyone within Forbidden Blood and those within a 10-mile radius of the school in danger.
However, in the end, with only one casualty, the school couldn't penalize him for his actions, even though things were supposed to be vastly different from what they are now.
'Just what did I see before the reselection took place? Is it possible that my sight is malfunctioning, or was I viewing a variation of a timeline parallel to ours?' She wondered since the scene she saw back in her office showcased dead bodies, destroyed buildings, and undying flames scattered through the area.
"That's besides the point, President, as the most pressing matter should be finding Isaac Newton. So, where exactly is he, Rin Kurama?" Vice President Calvin asked with a sense of urgency in his voice.
"Not a clue in the world, sir," Rin whistled as he strolled away.
"... Rin, please don't make my job harder than it needs to be," The vice president pleaded with a tremble in his voice as he tried not to create a scene.
"But sir, I'm being honest, I don't know where Isaac is," Rin replied as he stopped and faced the vice president.
"Sigh, I hoped it wouldn't come to this," The Vice President muttered before facing the audience and announcing the results of the match.
"Due to some unforeseen events, while Rin is the winner, sadly, his results will be deemed null for breaking the rules. Also, with this, the reselection is now official over, so for those who didn't get to fight, find a corner and cry. But anywho, with that, may you all have a wonderful evening and do get home safely, thank you!"
