Chapter 2 - 2 a heart reforged in shadows

Having killed her lover, "Kari held the lifeless body of Sadori down for hours, mourning." She only wished she was not a member of the Black Pool; she wished she had come from a normal life where she could live her life the way she wanted, where her life wouldn't be in control. That's when she noticed someone coming. "....She held his face one last time and kissed his bloody lips for a moment," and gently dropped his body on the ground, closing his eyes and disappearing. Two figures appeared at the site where the incident occurred and saw blood everywhere, with flies buzzing around a corpse. They approached the body and saw it was Sadori's corpse; he was completely brutalized, his right arm cut off and one of his legs decimated. ".....Kira covered her mouth with her hands in horror, seeing the corpse in front of her, where a body gathered, filled with flies buzzing in and out.

"Oh my God!" Yaze said in shock as he knelt down beside him, using his wind element to blow off the flies. "No!" Kira said, kneeling beside him. She looked into his chest and saw his heart was dead. "They're so cruel! Who could have done this?" Kira said in tears. They were too late. They both stood there mourning. "What will they say if we return back to base in Jyotu High? What will be their punishment? They've been searching for Sadori for a long time. Now that they've seen him, only to find him dead..." They felt they had failed. A portal appeared around them, and an old man came out, who was badly injured.

"Sanji! they both exclaimed, seeing one of the strongest soccerer of jotyu who's on the verge of death.

"...Let me take a look," he said, kneeling beside him and looking at the corpse of Sadori, who was now deteriorating. Sanji performed some mouth incantations and ripped off his own heart channels with all his power, placing them in Sadori's body, which accepted it.

"No one must ever find out about this," Sanji said, making them promise not to tell anyone that Sadori was already dead when they found him, which they promised not to do. "Look after him, and when he wakes up, I have assigned a sergeant who will accompany the three of you to Jyotu High to put you in training." Those were the last words he said before disappearing into nothingness.

"Sanji! they both mourned, seeing the one of the strongest soccerer of Japan now dead. He passed down his powers to Sadori before his departure. "Take good care of him," his voice filled the air while petal flowers fell from the garden trees. It was a moment of grief; it felt as if everything in the world had stopped. They both stayed with him for a while.

after a while Sadori begins to breath slowly, Seeing he's now breathing, they both disappear without a trace. It was now 2 PM at midnight. A few minutes after Sanji's death, Sadori weakly opened his eyes and saw the moon very bright and shining. The atmosphere was really good and nourishing. He groaned and rubbed his exposed chest underneath his torn clothes and saw it was all smooth and clean, except for stains of blood. "Did I die a few hours ago?" he said softly, remembering how he was brutally killed on his first date. He rubbed his chest and looked at his hand, noticing dry blood. The event of Kari Monata slashing him came to his mind.

"Kari...!"

He spoke weakly and stood up from the dirt, examining his surroundings. It was the same place where he died. He looked at the skies and noticed he could see better at night, not fully aware of the new heart in his body. "Sure, I can see better at night," he said and headed back home. He got home and passed through his window into his room, then headed to the shower to clean up his body. Memories of Kari saying something about being a threat came to his mind.

A threat...?

He dumped his torn clothes in a trash can; he didn't want his family to know something had happened to him. After a while, he came out of the bathroom and headed to his room, where he slept on his bed. A few minutes later, he began to roll left and right in his bed, sweating, clenching his fists and teeth. He could hear voices inside his head talking. The entire room became so hot that it melted some of his belongings. He heard a strange loud voice booming, calling his name out loud.

Sadori..!!

He sprang up from his bed, panting, and noticed his room was extremely hot. He quickly packed the stuff that had melted and dumped it in a trash can, then opened his window to allow fresh air inside. He couldn't sleep until morning. When morning arrived, he got up from his bed and made his way to the bathroom to take his bath, still remembering the incident from last night when his right side began to ache badly. Ouch...! He winced in pain, scratching his hand, and saw an eye tearing open in his palm, bluish in color. Looking at him, he snapped in horror, accidentally breaking the bathtub with his sheer strength, bursting out water all over the place and creating a loud noise.

"Sadori, are you alright in there?" his mom called. "Yes, Mom, I'm fine," he replied from the bathroom" .. maybe he's fiddling over with his dirty magazines," timi said from the dining table. Sadori had no idea what was happening to him as he kept staring at the pair of blue eyes in his palm looking at him.

"What the hell?!" he said, terrified.

"There's no need to be afraid, Sadori-kun. I'm here to help you," he heard a voice from the eye speaking. "Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Belzubulb Hyundai, and I'm also your guardian."

My guardian?!"

"Sadori, aren't you done yet?" he heard his sister timi hitting the door, who had been waiting for him to come out. He put on his clothes. "I'm done!" He opened the door and wrapped.A napkin around his right hand, he headed to his room and closed the door behind him. He heard timi scream upon seeing the bathroom in complete mess. "Alright," he said, "tell me everything you know."

[ Belzubulb narrating ]

In the year 1959, centuries ago in Japan, these lands were swarmed with dark spirits and lust demons, which nearly annihilated the population of Japan, forcing people into hiding. Specially trained individuals from Jyotu High in Tokyo were assigned to deal with the mess. The demons were led by a man called Loki Donara, a powerful sorcerer, purely and overwhelmingly evil, who was so obsessed with destroying mankind. Two people, the best ever from Jyotu High, Indra Hanamishi and haraku hamano, bearers of the heavenly powers known as "Karma's," both had eyes on their right hands and fought him to the death. The battle was tough; many lives were lost. Finally, they managed to seal him away for good. After the battle, they were both separated due to the fact that they were both Karma users.which isn't safe for them.

"So there's another Karma user who's the same as me," and he's out there. "Yes." The two of us are known as the "Twins Titanium," in other words, known as "Fire and Steel."

Fire and Steel...?

"Yes, in your case, Sadori-kun, you are the bone of a red dragon known as a champion," though he is only a myth, but legends say it's true. "Okay," and the other, what's his name?" The other one is a god statue with four arms and a star on top of his head. "He has two heads, and his skin is as hard as bronze steel."

"And his name," Sadori asked.

Avalon, having fully explained everything, Belzubulb asked if he had been experiencing anything." Sadori-kun, have you been experiencing anything lately?" "Nope, but all I could remember is that I died last night, and the next thing I knew, I woke up, and it feels like nothing happened." "Can you remember the girl who killed you?" "Yeah, when I get to school, I'll find her there.

"What...! You mean you don't remember any girl called Kari Mona?You mean you don't remember any girl called Kari Monata who came to school yesterday? Sadori yelled at the school principal, who couldn't remember the new student who was transferred into the school just yesterday, and now there's no record of her found in the school system, which is very mysterious to him. "I'm sorry, Sadori-kun, there's no record of a girl named Kari Monata," the principal said and dismissed him.

Sadori sighed and left the office.

"Why couldn't anybody remember her?" Sadori fumed in frustration while walking down from the building to his class. Ouch! He began to feel his head burning as if it were on fire and started to weave side to side, stopping along the hallway to catch his breath. "Sadori-kun, are you alright?" a voice spoke behind him, which drew his attention.

Hanabi Monamari.

She touched his forehead and saw it was burning hot. "Gosh, you're burning hot," she said and took out her napkin, soaking it in cold water that was running along the school. "Running along the school, he felt something cold on his forehead. After a while, he began to feel better. 'Thanks, I think I'm fine now,' he said, standing up and looking into her eyes. 'You know, maybe we should try this sometime. You know, grab a coffee. It would be great.'

'How sweet of you! I'll be looking forward to that...' Hanabi replied and waved him goodbye. He stood there, staring at her until she vanished.

He was inside his classroom when he began to feel hot. 'Sadori-kun, are you alright?' his class teacher asked, approaching him. Noticing his body was burning hot, they took him to the school hospital where he could get proper treatment.

Blackpool Base

This is the headquarters of every members of Blackpool, a secret society that grants anyone their wishes, both great and small. Most of the people who are successful in Japan are part of it, where they gain fame and wealth. This society has been in existence since ancient times in Japan, and they have been living in secrecy up until now. When a leader dies, another has to be nominated. They have a common enemy, which is the Chosens, a group of people from Jyotu High, who are tasked with protecting Japan at all costs.

The current leader in charge of the Black-Pool is a female named Hannah Monata, who is now in charge after her husband lost his life during his battle with jotyu finest soccerer. Hannah is a very powerful sorceress who has once taken down Jyotu High's finest during the last war, Now, they are multiplying in numbers, signing new members and giving them dark powers.

A girl walked into her room stained in blood. She sat on her bed with her hands trembling; she had killed someone not just someone, but her lover. She was lost in thought when a guard knocked on her door.

"Come in...."

Bowing, the guard said, "Kari-chan, Queen Hannah requests your presence immediately." Kari arrived at the main hall, where thousands of members were all dressed in black costumes. They cleared a path for her to pass." and stood before their leader, who rose from her high seat and came down majestically.

"Did you do the assignment that you were assigned to?" Hannah asked.

"Yes, Mother," Kari replied, shaking while not looking at her mother's face, though there was blood all over her body, which proved it.

"And you finished it?" Hannah asked once more.

"Yes, Mother, I killed him just as you commanded," Kari looked at her, and Hannah saw fear, grief, remorse, and regret in her eyes as she rubbed her daughter's face.

"My child, you don't have to be afraid. It's okay to be scared; it's just a minor thing. In time, you'll get used to it, and you'll never be filled with remorse, okay? You did what you were assigned to do, and it's not you who killed him; I did. When I was your age, I did the same task to prove myself, to see if I was worthy or not. I thought I would never recover, but eventually, I did, and in time, you will too." She finished speaking to her daughter and stood."Speaking to her daughter, she stood before the congregation.

My people, I want to let you all know that the one who's been rumored to be the last dragon lord has now finally been slain. Every member began to roar in celebration. Now the time will come when we will destroy Jyotu High once again, just as we have done centuries ago. And when we do, no one can stand in our way." Hannah was cut short when someone among the crowd called her name.

"My queen..."

"Yes.." Hannah replied, and a young man came out. He has brown hair and light complexion. "What is it, Milo Yutakata?

The boy is alive."
