Acheron jumped off the stage, quickly grabbed his jacket, which was thrown off during his performance, and picked up his dragon ribbons. He quickly fixed his appearance, used the dragon ribbons to hold his hair up in a ponytail, as he walked towards the open-mouthed girls that stood there transfixed on him.Acheron chuckled as he arrived before his 4 audience members and slightly tapped their chins, closing their mouths.
"If you leave your mouths open, you"ll catch flies"
Acheron continued on his way towards the exit giving a final wave of goodbye towards Kotone who was now walking off the stage towards their group.
Finally snapping out of their daze, the girls blushed, the quiet Vice President and Akeno more than the other two.
"Wait! I"m not finished with you yet!" exclaimed the Student President.
"But I am," responded Acheron, he then tapped his watched and both the Student President"s and Vice President"s phone rang as they received a notification.
The Student President pulled out her phone only to hear Acheron"s voice.
"I sent you the sheet music for the song I"ll be doing, it"s never been sung in public before, you can find people to learn it can"t you, Student President-san?" Acheron said in an almost teasing tone.
They watched as Acheron left through the exquisite double doors. After the door closed they finally realized that the Vice President Yui had been staring at her phone for a while now, her face getting redder by the second.
"Hey Yui? Did Acheron send you something too?" Asked Akira, the Student President.
If the Vice President were an anime character you would be able to see the steam coming off her head right about now, as how red her face and neck was as she looked at her phone.
Seeing that Yui didn"t respond, the girls leaned over to see her screen, only to see 5 words on the screen.
[It really is that big.]
Poof.
Like Yui, Akeno"s face turned red as a tomato, while Sakura and Akira blushed slightly and just looked away, pretending not to have seen the text. Kotone, who just walked up, was confused at why they were all blus.h.i.+ng.
Yui, the shy closet pervert, felt light-headed and her knees buckled.
As Acheron neared the elevator, he heard the shouts of the Student President from the other side of the doors.
"Yui?! Get yourself together!.... YUIIIII!"
Acheron laughed and as he was just about to step into the elevator, he stopped. He tilted his head as if listening for something before looking up, as if he could see through the ceiling.
"Interesting,"
He smiled and turned towards the stairs leading to the roof of the building.
When he arrived at the top of the staircase he opened the door leading outside. The first thing he saw was a group consisting of 4 middle-aged men and 1 woman around the same age as them.
They were on their knees sweating profusely as 5 Ferrymen held them at gun and sword point.
When Acheron opened the door and walked onto the roof, he immediately gained their undivided attention.
"Well, well, well, if it isn"t the 5 Power Rangers!" Acheron said with a laugh.
He then did an exaggerated pose in front of them as he laughed.
"It"s Morphing Time!" Acheron exclaimed before he busted out laughing.
Thought they looked offended, they said nothing to Acheron. But Acheron"s never-ending laughter finally got a Blue"s nerves and he snapped.
"Stop laughing you brat! Don"t you know how to respect your elders?! Have them unhand us already!" Blue shouted.
The fact they were on their knees for so long had hurt Blue"s pride as he was the most arrogant out of the group.
Acheron stopped laughing and smiled wickedly.
"Respect your elders? Sorry! I only respect power and real skill!"
Because of Blue"s sudden outburst, the ones holding a gun pulled the safeties back and push them to the back of their heads. While the ones being held down by swords felt a slight p.r.i.c.k on the back of their necks, the swords ready to sever their spines from their heads.
Blue immediately closed his mouth but his eyes were spitting fire towards Acheron.
Acheron looked at them, he knew he had been watched by them before, but this was the first time they interacted with him.
Red, the sword grandmaster, appeared to be the calmest out of the group. Acheron could hear the slightly elevated heart rate from where he stood. Next to Red, Blue, the spear grandmaster, looked enraged while slightly darting his eyes around looking for a way to get to his spear that laid on the floor not too far away from them.
Black, the Fist grandmaster, seemed composed but his eyes betrayed his fear, he was terrified, when the rest got Red"s call for help, the moment the others landed on the roof they were taken down with ease, he couldn"t even react.
Yellow, the archer, though he was pretty much useless in close combat, he wasn"t too worried and instead started to scrutinized Acheron. He wanted to see through this new club member of his, he wanted to see if Acheron was the new Death G.o.d of the Battlefield.
Pink, the a.s.sa.s.sin, was the most terrified of them all. Living a life of constant danger, death, and blood, she was the most sensitive to someone"s bloodl.u.s.t and killing intent. She was a little scared when she was captured, she could smell the killing intent behind the sword on her neck. The person behind her had killed enough people to reach 5 digits.
It was when Acheron walked onto the roof that she knew real fear. The wind carried a wisp of death to her nose and it was at that moment she knew that the most dangerous of them all was the young boy walking towards them. She was terrified as she laid eyes on the boy, the stench of blood coming from the boy was enough to wipe out countries, it was 100 times, no, 10000 times more powerful than the ones holding her down.
Acheron tilted his head as he examined Pink, there was no reason to be this terrified of him unless…
"Tell me," Acheron said towards Pink,
"Is it your eyes, or your nose?"
Pink was confused for a second, until she realized what he was asking.
"I-it is my nose, it"s extremely sensitive to blood" answered Pink, her voice slightly trembling.
"Ah, sorry about this, but this is as much as I can hide it, it is usually effective on regular people but unfortunately there are some people, similar to you, that can pick up on it"
Acheron nodded at Pink before he looked back to Red.
"According to my Ferrymen, it was you who called them here, hoping to attack maybe?" Acheron asked,
Red shook his head in denial,
"I only wanted to get my granddaughter out of danger"
"Ah, that"s right! Your granddaughter is Kotone right? It was slightly hard to find this fact, I was told they even had to a DNA test on both of you to confirm it" Acheron said as he smiled,
"Whoever wiped your records did a really good job… but not good enough"
He nodded towards the Ferrymen and they backed off and put their weapons away.
"I didn"t feel any ill intent or any hostility coming from you, so what do you want?" Acheron asked towards Red.
The 5 stood up but dared not to move as they can still feel countless eyes on them even if they couldn"t tell from where.
"I want you to protect my granddaughter, I"ll pay anything you want"
Acheron waved his hand in dismissal.
"There"s no need for payment, I consider your granddaughter a friend of sorts, as long as she is within reach I can protect her but anything outside of that is your problem"
Red bowed,
"Thank you, I can agree to that"
*clap* *clap*
"Okay you can go now" Acheron said as he clapped his hands.
Acheron turned around and started to walk away. Suddenly, Blue flashed towards his spear and headed towards Acheron wanting to drive the spear through his back. Red wanted to stop him, but he was too late, he didn"t react fast enough.
The other 3 men believed that Acheron was done for, while Pink paled and thought that Blue was dead for sure.
As the spear neared his back, Blue felt delighted, he was going to kill this insolent child that caused him such humiliation.
But the opposite came true, Acheron without even looking, took a single step to the right and with his left hand he reached behind him and pinched the spear, stopping it in its track. Blue felt like he hit a steel wall, no matter how much he thrust or pulled it wouldn"t move or leave Acheron hand.
Acheron then pulled the spear forwards as he launched his right hand, his fingers extended so that it looked similar to a spear, impaling his hand all the to his elbow in Blue"s shoulder.
Acheron looked at Blue"s horrified face and smirked.
"I hope you can use the spear with one hand because your pride has crippled you"
Acheron pulled his hand out and tossed something to the side. It took a couple of seconds, but they finally realized what was tossed, it was Blue"s scapula.
Blue crumbled to the floor, he saw the huge hole in his shoulder before falling unconscious.
Acheron walked away once again, this time, Charon was there holding a rag, a new s.h.i.+rt and suit jacket. He took off his clothes wiped the blood off his hand and changed.
"Thanks, Lily"
Charon s.h.i.+vered from excitement and disappeared along with the rest of the Ferrymen.
