‎"Do not let anyone know he was dead when you found him, okay?" When he wakes up, take him to Blaze High Academy." There's plenty for him to learn," Sanji said, making them promise not to tell anyone how they found Renjiro.

‎" promise!, Good!" Fully satisfied, Sanji's body began to fade away until there was nothing left but wind." Both of them mourned their hearts out as the reigning Dragon Slayer now dwelled in Renjiro's body.

‎A few hours later." The moon shone bright. The air was thick and refreshing." Renjiro opened his eyes weakly and slowly." The first thing he saw was the full moon shining its light directly at him." He groaned softly, rubbing his chest and slowly looked at his hand" and he saw dry blood on it.

‎"Did I die?!" He whisper" groaning weakly pulling himself up in a Sitting Position," and Begins to Scan his environment." Memories began to flash as he remembered this was the place he and Darelle came during their date.

‎"Darelle?!" He said softly as," staggered to his feets," and began to make his way home. Getting home, he passed through his window into his room. With his family fast asleep, no one could hear him.

‎He pulled of his clothes, dumping The tore Material in a trash can, and made his way to the bathroom to freshen up. Feeling the cold droplets of water slapping against his bare skin,

‎his expression changes, as memories begins to flood in, of Darelle saying something about being a threat came to his mind." A threat?!" He whispered softly, Turning the shower off, he made his way to his room, changed into his night pajamas, and fell asleep.

‎Morning had fallen," Renjiro felt his left hand so limb, as he was having trouble moving it accurately. He yawned lazily as he made his way to the bathroom to freshen up. That's when he began to feel his left hand aching badly.

‎"Ow! Ow! Ow!" He yelped in pain, feeling the palm of his hand, likes it's stretching in two. A blueish eye ripped open in his palm, staring at him. Its iris was golden brown, with a black slit at the center. All of a sudden, a voice spoke from it, calling his name, Renjiro-!"

‎"What -?!" Horrified, Renjiro panicked he accidentally destroyed the wall sink, causing a loud noise, as he heard his mom calling Through the living room, asking if he was okay.

‎ Renjiro, is everything okay in there?!" he heard his mom call.

‎"Yes! Everything's fine!" he said, taking a towel and wrapped it around his palm" as he made his way out of the bathroom. He went straight to his room, slamming the door behind him. He heard his sister screaming, calling his name as she entered the bathroom and found it in a complete mess.

‎"Haaaaaaa!! Renjiro! What did you do--?!"

‎"Okay, first, who are you and what are you doing in my hand?!" Renjiro said, breathing shakily while looking at the bluish eye staring at him in his palm." My name is Belzubulb, and I'm also your guardian!"

‎"My guardian?!"

‎"Yes!" How did you ended up in my hand, and where exactly did you come from?" Renjiro asked, still terrified." The Eye blink's, This might look intriguing, as it's something I cannot explain the whole day, but allow me to explain The few ones I can." Okay."

‎"Many years ago in Japan, demons and monsters roamed these lands freely as they liked, plunging terror into the hearts of the human race. At that time, there were people with special abilities whom we called sorcerers, warriors born with the purpose to protect. They stood up for the human race.

‎"These people, born with special abilities, went against the leader of these monsters, a man named Danzo Iskandar, eventually leading to a global war. It was a tough battle; many lives were lost in the process. At last, the enemy of the people was defeated, bringing peace into the human world once more."

‎"Iskandar! I've heard that name before," Renjiro said, remembering the name. "Which means it might be related to Darelle." Renjiro, have you been experiencing any changes recently?"

‎Belzubulb asked, still blinking." Nope!" I'll explained to your Later how i ended up in your h-!"Renjiro, time for school!" he heard his kid sister screaming, thumping her shoes on the floor," I'll be there in a sec-" Renjiro said, unaware that The eye has closed.

‎Nexus Point High." What?!" What do you mean you don't remember a girl called Darelle Iskandar?" She's the girl you brought to my school yesterday!" Renjiro screamed at the school principal, Mr Smith Rowel, a middle age man, who was unable to remember the strange girl he brought to one of his classes the other day, as there was no record of her in the school system.

‎"I'm so sorry, Renjiro. I'm unable to find this girl you've been asking about," he said and dismissed him. Feeling disappointed, Renjiro sigh and left the office. Walking down the hall. He didn't noticed when he bumped into selvester. Whom happened to pass by with his gangs. His hands stuck in his pockets, Chatting, not fully aware of renjiro coming. and there shoulder came in Contact.

‎"Hey! Watch where you're going's Dickhead! Selvester growl's. He's the type who's so kin in getting into a fight." Coming back to the real world, Renjiro apologize,

‎"oh! So Sorry man I got Carried away? He said squeezing the edge of his shoulder and walk off.

‎Selvester did have a real strong body. Due to his morning exercise" Which he do Every morning around his house. Now Earn him a good body.

‎"Why couldn't anybody remember her?" Renjiro 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.

‎"Renjiro-kun, are you alright?" a voice spoke behind him, drawing his attention.

‎Thalassa Ocean, his childhood friend.

‎She touched his forehead and saw it was burning hot. "Gosh!, You're burning hot," she said, taking out her napkin, soaking it in a cold water," which flows past the school gardens," and placed it on his forehead." He felt something cold rested on his head. 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. Grab a coffee. It would be great. How sweet of you! I'll be looking forward to that…Thalassa replied, smiling and wave him goodbye. As she made her exit, he stood there, staring at her until she vanished completely. Leaving him sitting on one of the benches by himself.

‎----------

‎He was inside his classroom when he began to feel hot again. Renjiro, are you alright?" his class teacher asked, approaching him. Noticing his body was burning hot,gosh! You're Burning? the teacher took him to the school hospital, where he could get proper treatment.

‎Blackpool Base:

‎This is the headquarters of every member of Blackpool, a dark secret society that grants people's wishes, both great and small. Most of the people who are successful in Japan today are part of it, where they gain power, fame, and wealth.

‎This society has existed since ancient times in Japan, and they have been living in secrecy 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 Blaze High who are tasked with protecting Japan at all costs.

‎"The current leader in charge of Blackpool is a woman named Hannah Iskandar, who is now in charge after her husband lost his life during his battle with Blaze High's finest sorcerer's. Hannah is a very powerful sorcerer who once took down Blaze High's finest during the last war. Now, they are multiplying in number, signing new members everyday, and giving them dark powers.

‎A girl walked into her room, stained with bloods. She sat on her bed with her hands trembling; she had killed someone not just someone, but her lover. She looked to her left-hand side, staring at the picture standing beside her bed, which had a photo of her and her senior sister in it, Lisa. She was lost in thought when a guard came knocking on her door.

‎"Come in..." The door opened a guard dress in armored came in Bowing, " Darelle-chan, The Queen requests your presence immediately." Ok" A few minutes later.

‎Darelle arrived at the main hall, where thousands of members were all dressed in black costumes. They cleared a path for her to pass as she stood before their leader, who rose from her high seat and came down majestically. swaying her hips side to side.

‎"Did you do the assignment you were assigned to?" Hannah asked. Yes, Mother, Darelle replied, shaking and 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," Darelle said. 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 before the congregation.

‎"My people, I want to let you all know that the one who has been rumored to be the last The one who's rumored in the Prophecy has now finally been slain.

‎Every member began to roar in celebration.

‎"Now the time will come when we will destroy Blaze 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 as a young man stepped forward. He had brown hair and a light complexion. "What is it, Milo Yutakata?"

‎"The boy is alive."

‎"What?!"

‎"How is this possible?" Hannah yelled, her voice mingle with Rage, she turned facing her daughter, who stepped back trembling, with no idea how he survived. I did it, Mother. I swear I killed him," Darelle said, her voice shaking. "I did exactly what you asked.

‎Hannah filled with disappointment, spat. And how is he still alive, huh? You've failed me. You've failed your father, Danzo Iskandar." I bet he will by now be Rolling in his Grave. She moved closer; her intent was clear." Please, Mother..." Darelle pleaded, backing away with her hands raised.

‎"Do you know what you just did?" Hannah spat. "If that boy finds out, who he is, or what he is he'll Destroyed everything. Everything your father worked so hard to Bult, will be lost. You've brought chaos into our home.

‎Just as the Blackpool members were about to panic, a voice cut through the crowd. Making his way outs, standing before the Congregation. A young teen appears to be around Renjiro age dress, in black customs, steps forward, know as Dan Eswerld. My queen I have The Answers" Yes, Dan?" Hannah demanded.

‎"Darelle followed orders; the mission was successful. Sanji transferred his life force into the boy's corpse."

‎Murmurs began to spread across the hall.

‎"There's still time," a member urged. "He doesn't know who he is yet, nor has he started manifesting his powers yet. We can kill him before those Blaze runts steal him. If they do, and he Recovered his memories we're doomed!."

‎Hannah nodded, and dismissed the assembly." She told one of her servant to sent outs a creature to kill him, Send out a Barroug, a demon from the underworld. To Hunt him down." The servant bowed and vanished.

‎"Sigh! Hannah sat in the visitors' room, lit with a beacon of fire, sipping red wine and lost in thought when a servant interrupted.

‎"My queen, someone is here."

‎"Send him in. Isaac Wescot, Ceo of Skyline Industries, entered, straightening up his suit as he walked in boldly. He is now an A-ranked Blackpool member. According to The society, Only Ranked members are given Ring's, while the other members, whom are not yet Ranked and given a bangled each around there hands, He flashed a strange ring as he took his seat.

‎"Isaac, if I may, what do I owe this visit?" She asked sipping a glass filled with a red wines.

‎"It's the company. Ever since joining I joined The Blackpool, business has been booming. We are planning to launch one of our branches in North Korea," he said, accepting the glass of wine poured by a female servant.

‎"He's alive, Wescot, Hannah Said through Calmily." What?!" Isaac dropped his wine, on the mini table, sitting upright. I thought you said he's been handled already. Isaac said unable to believe it.

‎Sanji? He passed on his soul, eventually leading to his resurrection. Hannah said, And How did you know all this? Issac asked

‎ Isaac asked sitting properly." One of my servkants saw him this morning at Nexus Point, alive. There are no signs he has manifested anything yet, but we need to act now. If he awakens..." Isaac got trailed off.

‎I've sent outs a Barroug. It won't fail," Hannah said, crossing her legs sipping her wine.
