School continued as per normal after the incident. The cafeteria, however, remained under repair. Sports were also cancelled due to the stadium being destroyed as well. However a new addition was made.
“The Weekly Exile?” Hiriya asked.
They were in class during the intermission of classes. Rita was trapped in a conversation with her friends and Ice had left the classroom to escape the huge hoard of girl who was pursuing him throughout the academy. Alicia resumed her daily routine of hugging Hiriya tightly as Hiriya was talking to Hiza.
“Yup, and the lastest scoop is this: Hiriya Harima: Every guy’s enemy. Related to The White Beast?”
“There is so many things wrong with that title in it’s own… and what do you mean related to The White Beast?”
Hiza pulled out a photo, it showed The White Beast standing over Hiriya. The shot had clearly been behind a bush and the photo itself was the moment when The White Beast had made Hiriya unconscious.
“I can’t believe that The White Beast was actually here in school and to think he would save you is what baffled me even further. Are you sure nothing happened between the two of you?”
“Nonono. Nothing happened.”
This conversation however, caught the ears of several of the girls in the class.
“Hiriya x The White Beast. That isn’t one of the best couples but I’d love that.”
“What about Ice x The White Beast?”
“Kyaah! Two hot yet act very cool guys together? MOE~!”
Saying this, the girls in the class started to squeal.
“Dame. Hiriya is mine alone!” Alicia exclaimed in response to the conversation.
As she hugged Hiriya further, the glares of the guys in the class only worsened. As Midori-Sensei walked in, the student all scrambled to their seats. She surveyed the class and saw only Ice’s seat was empty.
“The person seated to the fourth window. Can you open the window?”
Still confused, the girl who was seated there, stood up and opened the window, seconds later, Ice rolled into the class from the window and landed perfectly in his seat. The entire class looked at Ice, who was now dusting himself off and back at Midori-Sensei.
“Ice, you’re late.”
“Sorry.”
With the class still stunned, Midori-Sensei began her class. During the midst of the class, Ice passed Hiriya a note. He opened it. ‘Meet me at the roof later. I have something to say.’
As the class ended, Hiriya made his way up to the roof (after taking a long time trying to convince Alicia to stay). As the wind picked up on the roof, Hiriya was face to face with Ice.
“So, what did you need to say?”
“I think I might have figured out what Judgemental is after Alicia for.”
“Judgementation, right?”
“Not just any Judgementation. They are trying to repeat the event from 10 years ago.”
“10 years ago?”
Hiriya suddenly felt a sharp pain flow through his head. A vision of a flaming house came into view for a second. He held his head.
“Something wrong? Hiriya?”
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing. So, you were saying?”
“… 3rd Elimination.”
Hiriya suddenly lost all color on his face. 3rd Elimination. The Elimination, which happened 10 years ago. It caused complete destruction of Eternal. Not much could be remembered from the 3rd Elimination except that it was the birth of an Lv 10 Judgement. Destroying over 1000km radius of land and killing thousands, it is still deemed as the worst Elimination ever as no one from the Elimination team came out of it alive.
“They are planning to repeat it again.” Ice said grimly.
“Then we have to stop them.”
“And here’s what I can tell you how to.”
Ice swiped his hand across in front of him and a digital panel appeared in front of him. The panel was full of words and a couple of pictures; they were pictures of Exilers. Ice minimized the screen by swiping his fingers together and tossed it towards Hiriya. He caught it and opened it. Two of the Exiler pictures were familiar; Eizen Ravielle and Mori Springs were their names.
“These two are…”
“Lost Exilers, they were kidnapped 2 years ago. Another pair of Exilers were also kidnapped 4 years ago and said to have been spotted again recently, but no proof could be presented.”
“So, what does this mean?”
“Two possible answers, either someone has been actively surveying for Exilers to join Judgemental or, the ‘God’ they were talking about has something to do with this.”
“So, we have to find out this ‘God’s’ identity.”
“Seems that way.”
“Too bad. That’s never going to happen.” A girlish voice replied.
Shocked by the sudden appearance of another voice, Ice and Hiriya turn towards it’s direction. There was a hooded girl crouching on top of the handrail guarding the rooftop. She unveiled her hood and her green hair waved in the breeze. It was Mori Springs. Hiriya and Ice readied to virtualized their EM armor.
“Stop, stop, stop. I’m not here to fight you people today.”
“Then what are you here for?”
Mori slowly walked up close to Ice and whispered in his ear.
“You, Ryouto Hirito-kun.”
Ice slightly shuddered at the way she pronounced his name before re-gathering his cool.
“De. What exactly do you want with me?”
“Go to Warehouse 47 at the Espire Pier tonight. We have a gift for you.” Mori said, as she gave an evil smirk.
“Well then, my work here is done now. Ciao.”
And with that, as a sea of flowers suddenly gusted towards her direction and swirled in front of Ice and Hiriya, the two cover their eyes until it subsided, whereas the girl had soon become long gone.
“Warehouse 47, Espire Pier… huh.” Ice repeated.
A gust of wind blew through the roof again…
