"Determination." Episode 4

The very next day, Nazo would be in bed thinking about the yesterday, He was asleep. But he could not stop thinking about it. He then wakes up. sighs, He would stretch, Yawn. And got up, He walks to the bathroom. Taking a shower and brushing his teeth and adjusting his hair in a fashionable bowl cut. He would then get dressed in his clothes he had previously set for school. He then walks out his room and headed down to where his mother was, In the kitchen and humming happily. But Nazo would see through the ruse. He walks up to her and hug her. Him saying: "don't worry Ma. I'm perfectly fine, Just had some night terrors is all." His mother would stop what she was doing, Which she was fixing his lunch. She then would begin to cry a bit, Saying: "I don't want you to end up like.. Him..." She would quickly turn around and hug him and held him close. He looks at her and asked curiously: "Him? Ma, What do ya mean?" She looks at him and her eye are dull in color due to crying. She then asked: "have you never questioned why you have a lack of a father here?" Nazo would look at her with a weird look, Because he knew why. He was betrayed by the knights. He would respond: "I have not Ma, Because I know. He was betrayed by the magic knights." She would shake her head and say: "Wrong. He was killed by knights, sure. But not as a betrayal. Your father was in the Hungry Demon Extinction project." He would respond: "You mean the project where thousands of knights were killed and viciously eaten by Demons and then turn into a demon themselves by becoming corrupted spirits?" She would nod and say: "Yes." Nazo would slightly exclaim: "I've heard tales and rumors, but I never thought it was real!" His mother would nod: "It's very real, And your father was in that very group sent to kill them off. That's how I met your father. I was also apart of that group too. We were magic knights with the power to slay a dragon. Your father was way more stronger. We saw a horde of demons so we would take them down easily, But somehow we got separated and loss contact with the group by some demonic jammer. We got picked off one by one by upper class demons known as genesis demons. Our backs were quite literally against then wall. Your father took charge and attacked the demon, But he was slowly taken over, One got him and rip a part of shoulder off. He screamed before he went silent. The demons and your father stopped attacking each other. They would watch him. That's when.... He wasn't himself. he became one of them. He would scream and yell like them. That's when backup came to our location. He was killed and held a funeral for him. I vowed that day to keep the truth from you. But, You are getting the same way as those demons.." Nazo would have been shocked that to find out he wasn't betrayed. But he shakes it off and smiles. Saying: "Should have told me sooner. Ill make sure not to let the demon take control of me. Ill make sure to carry on my dads legacy. No matter what!" He took the news pretty well. He smiled because it felt like a huge rock was lifted off his shoulders. Because he found self awareness in that story. He then Headed to School and had a fairly nice day. Aoi Shi was missing the whole school day. And no one would talk about the fight test that happened that one day. He would eat lunch and talk to Hannah which seemed to be sitting in front off him. she smiles and talked about how she missed that day because she was feeling sick and her anxiety basically killed her. So her mother allowed her to stay home and just watch tv and all. Once school was over. They would exchange goodbyes and head home. On his way home. He would think to himself: "I have to find a way to master this power and give my father some peace." This will mark then end of this ones day. Will He be able to control his power and help his dad find peace? We shall see.
