Chapter 13 - 13. The First Move

[ Scene cuts to Mika looking at the ceiling like it has a solution. ]

Harini: (faint voice) You got a partner who is just like you.

Mika: That's right, though.

[ Scene changes to 6-year-old Yuki, who is standing beside a truck. Everyone seems shocked. The environment feels familiar, and he's breathing heavily. He looks at his hands, those of a kid's arms. ]

Yuki: What is this?

[ He slowly looks in front of the truck. A kid lying on the road, a lifeless body covered in blood. The blood is flowing down from all parts of the body. The scene cuts to Yuki suddenly waking up in his bed. ]

Yuki: (whispers) What a terrible dream…

Yuna: (concerned) Is something wrong, Yuki?

Yuki: Nah, it's nothing… Just a dream.

Yuna: It's not a normal dream… That's for sure.

[ Yuki climbed down from the top bunk and walked to the wash basin. Then started brushing his teeth. ]

Yuki: Why did I get that dream, Krishna?

Krishna:  You'll find out soon, Yuki.

Yuki: (whispers) Is this some kind of sign or what? 

[ He smiles at himself. ]

Yuki: Like you would say that. I'll have to find it on my own. 

[ Yuki heard his mom's voice from a distance. ]

Shreeya: Hurry up, you're getting late.

Yuki: Don't tell me someone's gonna die? Nah, I should be overthinking. It would be simple, like with Adam.

[ After two hours, the scene cuts to Mika walking into the school through the entrance gate. She sensed that TFZ was activated, to ensure it. She raised her hand to glance at her watch. Time is stopped. ]

Mika: (annoyed) This is annoying. I already have a lot going on. Bring it on, whoever it is.

[ Scene cuts to the front. Jirin turned back and started smirking, his eyes glowing red. ]

Jirin: (cocky) So you found out, huh?

[ Thick, hard horns tore out on the ends of his head, his body swelled bigger than a normal human, the shade of his body darkened into reddish brown, and the hair grew wild and messy. ]

Jirin: I'll consume you.

[ The students started screaming and running away from him. Scene cuts to Mika's face, and there is no expression on her face. ]

[ The scene cuts to both of them facing each other. Mika raised her hand, and his body flew up and smashed down to the ground. The orientation of his body collapsed. ]

Mika: I guess it's done. 

[ Everyone was surprised. Then Mika walks towards him, sits by her knees and places her hand. ]

Mika: (smiles) You're surprisingly weak. SEAL.

[ His body starts to glow yellow and disintegrates into dust and ashes. Some students and a teacher are coming to her. ]

Mika: They are such a pain. I have to tell Mr Hamesh about this.

[ Everyone calmed down and forgot everything that had happened. The scene fades to the right side of the entrance gate, Kaelveth walking with a hat and cloak to hide his identity. A slight surprise was visible on his face. ]

Kaelveth: That was fast.

[ Scene cuts to Mika entering the classroom, and she made her way to her desk and sat down. ]

Yuki: Do you have a plan now?

Mika: Yeah, I do have a plan.

Yuki: Alright, I'm all ears– what's the plan?

Mika: The plan is that today we'll learn about casein plastics. Research and learn about it. I'll help you with that.

Yuki: Wait, you mean … 

Mika: We're gonna be learning together.

Yuki: (smiles awkwardly) Why can't we do it ourselves?

Mika: Cuz I have learned a lot about you, and the common one is you're too lazy.

Yuki: Where did she get that from? But it's not like that's a lie. Fine, what's next?

[ Mika smiles awkwardly. ]

Mika: I have no clue about what's next.

Yuki: (shocked) WHAT? YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS. 

[ Everyone in the class turned around to them. Yuki notices others and lowers his voice. ]

Yuki: What are we gonna do now?

Mika: We'll make a plan, dude. 

Yuki: Whatever. I don't have any other chance.

Mika: He doesn't like the idea. I can say that from his face. We should also do it as a practical, so I'll talk with Mr Hamesh.

Yuki: Yeah, good. At least I don't have to do that.

[ She walks to the staff room looking for him, but this time, there are more teachers. ]

Mika: (whispers) Activate TFZ. 

[ Their eyes started glowing yellow. ]

Hamesh: You got better at this.

Mika: Don't wanna make the same mistake, sir.

Hamesh: But honestly, I underestimated you.

Mika: What?

Hamesh: I was in there.

Mika: How? I didn't see you.

Hamesh: I was in the restroom, and yeah, they call you one of the strongest for a reason. 

Mika: Since you know what happened. I don't have to say that again. I guess they are plotting something. 

Hamesh: What do you mean?

Mika: We encountered two demons in our very own school. 

Hamesh: Yeah, you're right. We haven't got any news about the so-called king you mentioned. 

Mika: I wonder if he's in this school, a student, a teacher, or anyone in this school. 

Hamesh: Are you suspecting him? 

Mika: No, he is not the king. But he is one of them. A king wouldn't be careless enough to show his negative chakra signature.

[ The scene switches to the back of the school building, where Kaelveth is standing. It is found that Kaelveth is controlling Hamesh all along. A smirk appeared on this emotionless face. ]

Kaelveth: She fell into my trap from the start. I planted a spell on Jirin so she wouldn't sense TFZ when she sealed him. I gained control over her memory and TFZ.

[ Kaelveth speaks as hamesh. ]

Kaelveth: Mika, you're overthinking. She could've tricked you. I expanded the TFZ after she sealed Jirin and shrank it down.

Scene cuts to Mika and Hamesh. 

Mika: I'm sure of it. She didn't 

Kaelveth: He is not a demon. Trust me, and we cannot be sure when we don't have proper proof.  I manipulated everyone's mind around her so no one would notice her yellow eyes.

Mika: Okay, Deactivate TFZ. 

[ The scene cuts to Mika standing in the entrance gate of school, and Kaelveth standing far nearby. ]

Kaelveth: I removed the memory of what happened now. So she won't remember a thing that happened in TFZ. 

[ He let out a small smirk. ]

Kaelveth: The real game starts now.
