Date A Live : A Distasteful Joke

Chapter 3 ; Rain and Thunder.

Cursed Spirit ; Is simply defined as a supernatural manifestation of humanities negativity. As such, sorcerers exist to protect humanity from such manifestations. A grotesque manifestation of humanity's shadow.

Geto looked on with an empty gaze at what he believes is a "Cursed Spirit". Yet, he only watched. He didnt act upon his abandond duty as a sorcerer, nor act upon his own self-interest, only acting upon his curiousity. He only watched as the both of them walked away clinging to each other.

Geto watched at the two retreating backs of his classmates. Watching without intent, yet slipping back into past to see his own back turned away from him.

The joy of student from around him, the conversations, the laughs, the cries of rain, and the footsteps around him turned static. Drowning in his own thoughts, he saw himself turn to him.

Are you The Strongest because you're Satoru Gojo, or are you Satoru Gojo because you're The Strongest?

Looking once again upon his retreating back, his eyes stayed on his former self, only giving it a frown.

He found his so called conviction. Yet, at what cost?

The grip on his umbrella tightened.

It creaked.

The grip tightened, once again.

It creaked.

Under the deafening sound of the cries from the sky, the umbrella exploded just as a thundering sound of lighting struck.

Looking at his clenched hand. ' It won't leave me alone, huh... '

A sorcerer is always a sorcerer.

...

Somewhere within the proximity, one of the personnel that operated in such environment, stood surprise.

Looking at the screen in front of them, displaying a spectrum of data that measure the spectrum of emotions, which then contributed to the level of their favorability.

One of these subject was Hiroto, in which until recently within span of just a few hours, possessing a hundred percent favorability derived from solely to the one-hundred percent of the love spectrum, has suddenly declined in favorability to zero.

Leveling every spectrum of both positive and negative emotional spectrum to complete zero.

As the personnel looked at the screen, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine at the fact, that subject Hiroto Tonomachi, has reach the favorability of negative two-hundred percent, while having the negative emotional spectrum remain zero.

The look of fear, confusion, and surprise agaped of the personnel caught the eye of the commander.

The commander in which she wore a military-like attire, while adorning twintails and black ribbons for each of her fiery red hair.

The commander took out the candy and occupies her mouth, and spoke in a tone of superiority, "What's wrong? Nail Knocker?"

Waking up from their stupor, they reported " Commander, Subject Hiroto Tonomachi has reach the negative in favorability. Specifically, negative two-hundred percent, commander. "

Silence...

Every personnel pause at Nail-Knocker's report.

The keyboard that once were echoing at their operations room, became silence. The only sound that were present are the sound of machine operating normally, overtaking the silent room full of important people for their operations.
