Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 15: Jealousy

Chapter 15: Jealousy

While Takashi thought something stupid, Isao thought of the reason why some of those "things" moved so fast, and while some moved slowly, the only explanation he could get was all due to show the protagonist group's cool side when they fought together.

Still, when Isao came to a useless conclusion, one girl in the group of five quickly thanked him.

"Th-Thank—"

"Don't be so loud. Those "things" move based on the sound. If you are too loud, they will notice and target us like before." Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Hearing his explanation, they quickly shut their mouths, afraid for those "things" to notice them.

As for doubting Isao?

Isao was their savior, the one who had helped them during their crisis, so why should they doubt him?

Moreover, due to his handsome appearance and gallant act, he quickly gained their good favors, as if picking up an ice cream at the convenience store. "Do any of you get bitten?"

"No, no!"

The girl took the lead to answer him.

Isao looked at the three guys, who were still in shock, feeling helpless as they led the girl to handle this problem, but well, it wasn't like a man could be so strong from the beginning. They were strong because of their upbringing, experience, and will to change.

It was like him, who was forced to become a bad guy and snapped due to his environment.

Yet, for those who hadn't realized that they had to change, Isao didn't care since their lives were their responsibilities. He wasn't their parents, and he couldn't babysit them forever.

Even eagles let their babies compete with each other, letting them kill each other, so they could become strong.

Isao knew that instead of babying them, he had to be tough so they wouldn't become a burden for him.

After the girl answered the question, Saeko and the others also came to Isao and heard Isao, who invited them, "We're going to go out from here by bus. Do you want to follow us?"

"Yes!"

They answered without hesitation since they knew that following Isao was the only answer.

"Good." Isao nodded but didn't immediately leave to get into the bus. Instead, he had to explain what he planned to do so they wouldn't cause trouble during this journey. "But before I let you join, I have to remind you something so we can go out all in safe and know our destination. If you are not fine with it, then I won't force you to join."

First, he had to explain to them what he knew about those "things" and what they needed to watch out for so they could be careful.

No one said anything, and they listened to his explanation carefully, afraid to miss his explanation.

"...they won't notice us if we keep quiet?"

"Yup." Isao nodded.

Frankly, as a teacher, whether Kyoko or Shizuka felt a bit embarrassed since they left everything to Isao, but what could they do? He was just reliable, after all.

However, before they started their move, Isao looked at one guy with a long stick and said, "You, that one."

"Ah, me-me?" The boy was startled when Isao pointed to him.

"Yes, you. When you walk down, try to be careful. Point your stick upward instead of sideward so the stick won't hit the metal handrail."

The boy agreed, but some weren't in the same opinion as Isao.

"You are too much," Takashi said with a frown, thinking that Isao was too careful.

Isao glanced at Takashi with a frown, realizing that this guy had a negative thought toward him. Still, he didn't say anything and just stared at Takashi in silence.

However, due to his silent stare toward Takashi, everyone suddenly became nervous.

Even Takashi somehow felt his legs were weak and moved back slightly due to the pressure emitted by Isao.

The thought of Isao smashing all those "things" singlehandedly with his baton appeared in their minds, and they knew if they fought, Takashi would be as good as die.

"I-I am sorry for him, Iinuma-kun. He might be a little too tense." Rei quickly stood in front of Takashi, prevented something big from happening, and cursed Takashi for causing a lot of trouble inside her mind.

Isao looked at Rei, who was looking at him nervously, yet her face still showed a gentle smile toward him. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "I just want everyone to get out here alive, and it is better to be careful than sorry, but if you think differently and want us to face those "things" yourselves, then go ahead. I won't stop you."

Isao didn't move and just stayed in silence, yawning and feeling bored.

Yet, from this point, it was easy to tell that Isao didn't want to lead them anymore.

Takashi suddenly felt everyone's gaze on him, and he felt a silent pressure on him. Even worse, his childhood friend, whom he had promised to marry during their childhood, also said, "Takashi, you should apologize to him..."

*Snap!*

Due to this, something snapped within Takashi.

"Even if you are not there, I can get out of here!"

Takashi then took the lead and left the group directly.

"Takashi!"

Yet, when Takashi left, an accident occurred. The baseball bat on his hand knocked the metal handrail, causing a ding sound to echo throughout the school.

*Ding!*

At that moment, they knew that all of them fucked up.
