Chapter VII - Challenge and Love

POV S/n

A few moments ago...

"Nick!" I said.

"Hey kid! Good to see you too." He jumps off the roof, landing on the ground. "I see you've changed a bit these times."

"I say the same anyway..." I looked at him with cold eyes. "Did you really come to capture me?"

"..." He sighs under his mask. "Yes and no. In fact, one person would like to meet you."

"To know me?" I was confused by your words.

'So it wasn't the old man who sent you? So who was it??'

"Yes..." Seeing that I was confused, he tilts his head. "Oh... Nocturnal didn't explain it to you?"

"... No."

"..."

We turned our heads toward Nocturnal, who cringed uncomfortably at our gazes.

"H-hehe... Well, I guess I forgot after our last 'talk'." She scratches her head nervously.

Nick just sighs at her stupidity.

"Anyway, our leader wants to find you... The real 'black seat'." He said.

"Eh? But didn't you say it was the 'black seat'?"

"Not exactly, I'm the 'gray seat'. As a precaution, I'm his successor, so I use the title 'black seat'."

"I see." I turned my gaze to the side. "Where is he?"

"At school." He points in the direction of where the ship is going. "You can't refuse this request S/n, it's too important even for you."

Oh. Now this is getting interesting.

"S/n?" Kiyone just looks at me with a worried look on her face. "You're not going to do that, are you?"

"..." Thinking for a moment, I say. "Do I have any choice? You can come with me too."

I started to walk towards Nick, before pulling the collar off the 'green seat' who was lying unconscious on the floor.

"Anyway, I'll leave that friend of yours to you." I threw his body towards you.

*Thump!*

"At least he's still breathing, that's what matters." He shrugs. "Fine, let's go."

"Hmph! So this was just a simple test for us?" asked the 'red seat' to Nick.

"Fufu~ Well I'm satisfied." Said the 'blue seat'.

"Yes, that was just a test. And since you fought perfectly with S/n, you passed." Nick replied.

"Wait, if you're my ally... So who were those guys that attacked me?"

"As you can see, they were assassins hired by your father. By coincidence, we got information that they were going to come after you on this ship, so we took the opportunity to stop them and find you first."

"So I'm someone important, I guess." I scoffed.

"Haha! You could say that."

They start walking towards the ship's railing and jump over it. Apparently they had a boat.

I mean... It was expected.

"Come on, the sooner we get there the better."

I sighed.

Walking in the halls of the school, we started walking towards the principal's office. Kiyone was at my side accompanying me.
