Monster of The School

In the Morning, Ryuma brings his baggage walking out to the school gate. As he's about to reach the gate, he looks back, remembering his memories with his friends here. Even though it's only been 2 months, he has also gone a lot there. Nobles, bullies or even some corrupt teacher. All he can do is sigh. He then took a step towards the outside of the school

As Ryuma was about to walk outside of the school, He could feel someone grab the back of his clothes. Ryuma feels a sense of nostalgia. It was like when he was in the middle school. There was a girl who's always clinging to his back ever since childhood until the end of his middle school.

The girl is shy and uncomfortable around the stranger. But she can speak a bit well with her friends. Apparently she's popular for her shyness and clumsiness. Whenever there's a guy trying to make a move on her, she always runs off to hide behind him.

"It's been a while huh? Nana." It was Naname Nochiri. The same shy girl he remembered from his middle school.

"I know you've been avoiding me because you wanna change yourself and not make a trouble for me. You've been training with a sword since middle school just to surpass me, although you never did~. And look, with your magic and swordman skill, you just had become the top student among the first year."

Ryuma look towards Naname.

"Even though, despite being called the beauty cold princess, everyone thought you were the emotionless person, a brave person who never feared anything. But... you haven't changed a bit, you crybaby."

Naname, the expression who everyone thought she was a cool, emotionless girl, had been reduced to mere little kids who were crying because she just dropped her ice cream.

"Sniff x2, R... Ryumaaa d-don't leave me alone in this place... Huuuuu~" Naname looking down trying to hide her crying face.

Ryuma pat Naname's head.

"I'm sorry Nana. But my time's up here. If anything, I'll send you a letter or anything." Naname raised her head.

"T-then I'll go with you! I'll drop out from this school and follow you whenever you go!"

"Sorry, no can do~" Ryuma rejected Naname's proposal with a cheerful face.

"Nana, this school just made you grow up. I have seen your strength when you're fighting with a student. You're definitely stronger than when you were in middle school. I can tell that this school has changed you to become who you are today. And I want you to do it again until you throw out all of your fear in you."

"You have found your places. Right here, in Herreson's Magic High School. And me? Nope, co can do. I too have yet to find my place where I truly belong. And I'm going to step outside from this school, trying to find the me in the future."

"Also, I'm not your only friend in this place." Ryuma looked at the figure behind Naname. There were 2 girls standing behind them.

"Ah, don't mind us..."

"Umm, I assume they've known your face?" Naname continued to cry on his clothes.

At the same time, the whole 1-E class came just to be surprised that The Beauty Cold Princess were crying on Ryuma's clothes while hugging him.

"Um... Is that Beauty Cold Princess?" Vesmon spoke while pointing at Naname.

"Ehh, don't know what you're talking about mate."

Ryuma then tried to get Naname off him but she wouldn't budge.

"Wow, I guess you really become too strong these past 2 months. Guys? I think I might need a hand here? Ow ow ow ow! You're going to break my rib!"

After a while, Naname finally got her hands on Ryuma. Still crying. Ryuma walked towards Nana's friends.

"Well, it might be too late for me to say this but please take care of Nana. She's so clumsy when she's alone. Also Vesmon, I have a favor for you. Can you please watch Nana for me while I'm away?"

"Well, I'm sure I don't have to take care of her. She's damn strong already."

"Just in case she's got a boyfriend. I sure wanna have a chat with him someday."

Vesmon can feel Ryuma's aura as Ryuma cracks his bone.

"Fine then, I'll send you a letter anytime."

"Hm, I'll leave everything to you." Said Ryuma as he took a step outside of the school. But he stopped to leave one last word.

"Oh! I remember something. If anything happens to Nana, I'm going to start my own villain arc and come for every one of you." Ryuma said that while there's a grin on his face.

"Wait, why us first?!"

"Oh, I just wanna said it just cuz it looks cool." Ryuma once again takes a step outside the school and proceeds to take a corner. But then, Ryuma's face slowly came from the corner he had just taken from.

"Or was I?"

"Fine! Just leave already!" Vesmon Shouted. Not long after, Ryuma's face vanished and was nowhere to be seen. Vesmon sighed.

"Gosh! That guy is always troublesome." Vesmon looks up to the sky.

"Guess he's gone for good now huh?" Vesmon closed his eyes, reminisced his memory with Ryuma. 2 months, which is the best moment he had in his 16 years of lifetime. And then, the tears fell from his eyes.

"Get well…"

…

Ryuma was walking to the alleyway. Just to find a guy who's waiting for him. It was Cheris. It appears that he was dissatisfied about the result of his duel.

"Ryuma, why did you not move at that time? Was I not a worthy opponent for you?" Even being shouted at, Ryuma didn't answer Cheris, who was raging. 

"Why Ryuma! Was everything you've said at the arena a lie?! Am I too weak that you don't even think it's worth attacking me?!"

Ryuma averted his eyes from Cheris.

"Look here Cheris, I did say all sorts of that stuff and yet here I was. There was this saying "Strong is always right." If we were gonna look from a different perspective, I was in the wrong here, because I lost. So if you're asking about if it's a lie then I'll say it right now. IT'S A LIE. I lie because I was losing to you. To Harris's dirty trap. The Ryuma you're facing right now, is a failure all along."

"Then... you're losing because of my brother right? Then again, we'll decide it once more! MEGOLUS MELODAS: RIDER!!!" Cheris summoned the golden horse that had defeated Ryuma once. Cheris was also covered with golden armor and a giant sword appeared in his hand.

"Here I come... RYUMA!!! This last battle will proceed as the fate for both of us, either I kill you, or you kill me, I'll leave it to the fate!" Cheris once again charged on Ryuma with all his might.

"Fine then, once more..." Ryuma said as he took off his glasses. At that moment, Ryuma made an expression that Cheris never saw. Ryuma's face was covered by a shadow. Cheris could not see his face. All he could see was a bright, cold, piercing crimson eyes staring right into his soul.

Few minutes later, A whole alley was almost destroyed. There's a crack almost every way in the alleyway. Cheris was lying on the wall. He has bruises all over his body, and his clothes were brand new, which have been torn apart because of the fight.

Ryuma on the other hand, is still standing. His body is unscathed. The whole fight takes less than 20 seconds. Knowing the battle is over, Ryuma then wipes his glasses. "You know, I always think what'll happen if we never fight. I'd love to be a friend with you. It's too bad we won't be one anytime soon." Ryuma then took his baggage and left the alley.

Cheris is leaning on the wall. He remembers how he despised Ryuma just because he's attributeless. All of that happened because of his brother's influence towards him. When he was in his childhood, he often sneaked out and played with the commoners. It was a fun day until his father knew about this.

He's got home prison and not allowed to play with commoners ever again. And then when he's lying on the ground while he first fought with Ryuma,

"Oi, don't ever show your faces on me again". Ryuma then left the arena. He felt that something inside him had awoken again. He felt that he wanted to surpass him. The commoner who defeated him one sidely.

Since then he has been training. Just so he can be on par with him. He wants to fight side by side with him. Not long after that, He discovered his new ability, 'Megolus'. Harris, who knew about the unique take an advantage of that.

Cheris was lying on the floor, mumbling something to Ryuma. Ryuma barely hears it but he knows what Cheris is saying.

"Thank you."
