Future Diary 2: New Survival Game

Chapter 26: The Ninth's Revenge

A/N: Jed's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~ Next morning ~~

~~ 7:00 A.M. ~~

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" I woke up, breathing for air exaggeratedly. I clutched my head. I groaned in pain. Man, one of those dull dreams again.

I've been sleeping on the roof of one of the buildings in the city, but I'm not affected by the cold nights. Thanks to my diary's power, I'm protected by a lot of things that could harm me in some way.  Well, even if it's kinda dull in a way.

You could say that it's like a shield that protects me at all times. I also thought about First and Second being the contestants of this sick game. Something just didn't seem right about this whole game, and I think Yuno and Yukiteru intended to find a successor because of something in the god's life that he might sacrifice his life for.

"I don't know where you got that idea, but you are correct." Yukiteru's and Yuno's voices echoed through the atmosphere. "WHAT! Stop doing that, Yukiteru, Yuno… Calling out to me like that, it's beginning to become irritating." I called to the gods.

"You are correct on that speculation. We have every intention of sacrificing ourselves for a noble cause, but that's also the reason why we set this game up: To find a fitting successor who could do our job when we disappear. My reason for doing so… I will tell you when you reach the final stage of the game." They replied, still not appearing. "Until that time comes, don't worry about it, Jed." They added before disappearing.

A flash of lightning lit up the sky today, and I felt clumsy for not noticing the weather today: Today's gonna have a thunderstorm, but I'm pretty sure lightning'll come first.

~~ 11:25 A.M. ~~

I was in P.E. class while enjoying the scenery around me. Even though I didn't have my P.E. uniform yet, I did my own rounds of exercises and stretches. I didn't quite get into the routine yet as my diary began ringing. Apparently, it was a text message from Yukiteru and Yuno saying:

11:29: Bomb in school exploded near Dan and Cassy. No major injuries detected, but it's the first symptom of death being around the corner for those two. Man, what a dull explosion.

11:30: A Bomb in class 3F2-C was detonated from afar. Dan and Cassy barely avoided the blast, but sustained minor burns. Man, what a dull exposion.

11:33: Bomb at end of a hallway exploded. Dan and Cassy avoided this explosion and escaped unhurt this time. Man, what a dull explosion.

"Damn it! These events are about to happen right now!" I thought to myself, stopping my own rounds of exercise. I raced for class 3F2-C as fast as I could, and tried to locate the bomb as best as I could. Fortunately, the classroom was empty, and there weren't any suspicions of me.

~~ 11: 28 A.M. ~~

One more minute until the chain of events begins, and I'm already searching for the bomb in the classroom. My diary buzzed with this message:

"11:30: Failed to find the bomb in time and was blown apart. Man, what a dull death. DEAD END"

"Damn, no use trying to find the bomb now. Man, what a dull life." I cursed to myself. I fled the classroom as fast as I could, but there were no students in the halls at this time. I was thankful for that.

~~ 11:29 A.M. ~~

#### CHAIN OF EVENTS BEGIN ####

I made it outside the school just before the time said 11:29.
