Little Battlers eXperience

Truth of the Second World

Kenbishi Hannah:

"Making the student's fight a proxy war, all under the guise of keeping peace..." Seredy's voice echoed through the whole school. From the class, we can hear the voices of Seredy and the others in the headmaster's office from the speaker. "Let's put an end to this farce, shall we? It's not the peace that you want to protect. It's the information stored within the Underbalance."

"Underbalance?" Haruki's voice sounded.

"What's that?" Arata asked.

"Allow me to explain, dear students of Kamui Daimon Comprehensive Academy." Seredy said.

"In the center of the Second World is the Lost Area, a place where Grand Master, the computer that controls the system, is stored. In that computer is a chip called Underbalance, which contains the military, research, development and other information of every country participating in the ERP. In other words, if we can retrieve Underbalance, we'll know every secret that the participating nations are hiding. Let me make this clear to you. The goal of the Second World is not to achieve world peace. It's to hide the incosistencies of the world. Of course this is all for the benefit of a few select leaders. We, the World Sabers, make it our mission to erase the deception and deceit surrounding these leaders." Seredy explained.

"You've gone too far, you terrorists." The headmaster muttered.

"We are simply rebelling against you, the selfish leaders who feed people lies for your own benefit." Seredy stated.

"Quiet!" The headmaster replied. "Your group is no better! You only wreak havoc to the world!"

"Oh, you'll stop at nothing to make yourself seem justified, won't you, headmaster? . . . Mito-sensei, are you listening? You're searching for your father, Professor Mito Eisuke, are you not? I'm sure you are all aware that he is the professor that developed Grand Master, the computer that controls the Second World. Three years ago, the professor disappeared after coming to this very island. Thinking that you might find some clue as to your father's whereabouts on Kamui Island, or more specifically, in the Lost Area in the center of the Second World, you entered the Academy as the commander of Jenock. Since then, you've been constantly been on the search for a way to enter the Lost Area. What a tearful, moving story... Your father is within the Lost Area. However..."

"Stop!" The headmaster shouted.

But Seredy didn't obey. "I'm just getting to the best part. You couldn't stop me if you tried. Professor Mito is locked up inside the central computer,  Grand Master. As a part of it, that is. Humans are needed in order to control the Second World's systems. In other words, the professor was sacrificed for the Second World. Under the glorified name of 'world peace'. Do you see? See how inhumane the Second World is... There's absolutely no way that such a system exists for world peace."

"Is he telling the truth?!" Arata's voice raged.

"Is he, headmaster?" Muraku sounded like he was the calmest among the rest, but there was still a hint of anger within the tone of his voice.

"We had no other choice!" The headmaster replied. "In order to get rid of all the wars... This was our only option."

Seredy's voice sounded with a lot more determination. "We now declare this: We will now begin liberating all you people who have been victimized by the Second World and its rulers. We already have all three Parasite Keys under our control. The door to the Lost Area will soon be opened. That will signal the beginning of a new age. May we meet on the battle field."

The guys who were at the headmaster's office came back to class and each of us thought deeply into the situation.

I saw each group divided between one another while having arguements too. Nikolai was messing with his CCM, probably trying to contact his cousin or even better, his dad.
