Realizer of Death : The Reaper

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ

Six months have passed since Tenku's visit to Lake Motosu and Japan is already in late autumn. After Shigeru's death, Tokyo was in an uproar because one of the leading company owners in the area was found dead in his office. The news quickly spread throughout Japan and even abroad.

The police and the Realizer have teamed up to find out who was behind Shigeru's murder, but they have found no clues. They only knew that a great sniper had killed him from one of the multi-story buildings near Yamanaka tower and most likely was a Relizer. They concluded from the holes in the bulletproof glass of the windows in Shigeru's office and the wound on his head.

Because of that, the three Realizer organizations in Japan called members who possessed Phantasmal Objects in sniper form and interrogated them. Sadly, none of them was found guilty. So they suspected that the culprit was an illegal Realizer from a terrorist organization.

After several months, the three organizations were still unable to find Shigeru Yamanaka's killer, and news of his death slowly faded and disappeared completely.

Meanwhile, the person who caused a huge commotion in Japan was sitting in a very bad mood in the classroom. Tenku put his face on the table and quietly sighed. Over the past six months, no space collapse has occurred in Tokyo or the Kanto region.

Tenku had thought about looking for space collapse in other regions but quickly dispelled that thought. He had information about a space collapse that had appeared outside the Kanto region, but he would not make it there in time.

The distance from his apartment to that location is so far, and it takes several hours to ride his motorbike. The Realizers from that area must have gathered and were ready to face the space collapse when Tenku arrived. So there was no way he could kill the monsters in that place.

They would attack him when he appeared as the Reaper because they considered him an illegal Realizer. Tenku couldn't come there as a member of the Holy Union because he didn't have the qualifications yet, and it was against the organization's rules.

Tenku is just a newbie in the organization and has no right to participate in missions outside the Kanto region without a senior Realizer accompanying him.

Another thing that put Tenku in a bad mood was that the increase in his cultivation was extremely slow because Japan's heaven and earth aura was thin. Because of that, his cultivation base was stuck at the great perfection of the Sky Origin realm.

Tenku had many monster corpses from space collapse in Beijing but none were suitable to use to tempering his meridians and break through the fifth layer of the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. So Tenku could only practice the Spiritual Lord Heart Sutra for the last few months.

Unfortunately, it didn't go smoothly because the practice was painful and difficult. Tenku still couldn't break through the second stage until now. Thus, he focused on cultivating the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique and honing his swordsmanship, spear arts, and shooting skills.

Tenku trained alone these few months without direct instructions from Wang Haotian because that old man had not returned to Japan until recently. Even though he doesn't want to admit it, he feels lonely.

(I did tell him to focus on the problems in Beijing and not return to Japan in a hurry. The Wang family's problems seem more numerous and complicated than I thought)

Tenku pondered and then sighed a second time.

"Haa..."

"What happened to you? You haven't been in the mood the past few days. Akina asked me if something had happened to you in class. You know, that girl is worried about you." Takaya sat next to Tenku and asked after hearing his sigh.

"Yes. The girl keeps asking about your condition. A blind man also knows that she likes you." Noboru sat down on the other side and added.

"I'm fine. I'm just having a little problem with my apartment. So you don't have to worry about it." Tenku replied lazily. But he opened his mouth again before they could respond to his words.

"Also, you two better not spread gossip carelessly. Akina might get angry if she heard your words." He gave them a warning.

Takaya and Noboru looked at each other and shook their heads. They felt sorry for Akina. Tenku wasn't stupid; both were sure he knew her feelings.

But after they heard why Tenku could get to know Akina and be close to her, they knew why he didn't have a romantic relationship with Akina.

Tenku was taken care of by Akina's parents after he lost his father and mother. He had lived in the same house for several years with them and had already considered the girl his sister. Because of that, it would be difficult for Tenku to change his feelings for Akina.

"Speaking of gossip, do you know the latest news on the student council president?" Noboru suddenly said to them.

"Do you mean senior Fuyushima?" Takaya asked curiously. Noboru nodded and smiled mysteriously.

"What happened to her? Has she got a boyfriend?" Takaya added another question.

Even though he knows that Setsuka is someone he can't reach, he doesn't want to miss any updates from one of the prettiest girls at Suisei High School. Takaya always looks for the latest news about Kaede, Hijiri, and other beautiful female students.

On the other hand, Tenku raised his eyebrows when he heard them talking about Setsuka. But he chose to remain silent and wait for Noboru's next words.

"This news is still uncertain. But it seems that senior Fuyushima already has a boyfriend." Noboru said in a low voice because he didn't want the other students to hear him gossiping.

"What do you mean?" Takaya looked at Noboru in confusion.

"My point is senior Fuyushima might be dating someone right now." Noboru brought his face closer to Takaya's.

"I have heard your words. But why do you say that this news is not certain?" Takaya also approached Noboru. Tenku's position became in the middle of them, and they gossiped directly in his right and left ear.

"I heard from a reliable source that Fuyushima senior has been bringing multiple bento to school lately." Noboru explained. Tenku's ears twitched slightly when he heard his words.

"It does not show that she already has a boyfriend. That bento might be for Senior Kobayashi since they are best friends. Besides, I heard that her little sister attends Suisei Elementary School. So that lunch can also be given to her." Takaya feels that Noboru's words do not prove that Setsuka is dating someone. He thought the double lunch box was for her sister or best friend.

"No. The bento was not for her sister. I learned from another reliable source that she overheard Setsuka's conversation with her sister at the school gate. She reminded the student council president to give the bento to big brother.

Do you know what those words mean? Do you know who big brother is? He couldn't be senior Kobayashi, could he? So the big brother that the little girl meant was the boyfriend of senior Fuyushima!" Noboru said excitedly and looked like a girl gossiping.

"Yeah. You are right. The big brother she was referring to couldn't be Kobayashi's senior. But that still doesn't prove that that person is senior Fuyushima's boyfriend. What if that person is a member of Fuyushima Temple and is the older brother of the student council president? Isn't it normal for senior Fuyushima to give a bento to him?" Takaya still doubts that the person Kohana calls a big brother is Setsuka's boyfriend.

"No. No. No. I have also researched it. I got information from other trusted sources..." Noboru wanted to reply to Takaya, but Tenku interrupted him.

"Wait a minute. How many trusted sources do you have? Are their words as trustworthy as you say they are?" Tenku asked out of curiosity about a reliable source that Noboru had mentioned several times in his sentence.

"Of course! Do you doubt my judgment!? Their words can be trusted one hundred percent! You don't need to worry about that!" Noboru said confidently.

"I understand. Then, you can continue your explanation." Tenku nodded and asked Noboru to continue his words.

"Okay, where did my explanation go... ah, yes, about senior Fuyushima's brother. She is the eldest daughter and doesn't have an older brother or seniors in Fuyushima Temple, and I have confirmed this information." Noboru explained.

"If what you say is true, then the person who is called the big brother is a man who is now close to senior Fuyushima or maybe is his girlfriend, and that person also attends Suisei High School." Takaya concluded Noboru's words.

"You are right! But I still don't know who this big brother is! He is very mysterious, and none of my reliable sources can investigate him. Is it possible you know who the big brother is, Tenku?" Noboru suddenly looked at Tenku and threw a question at him.

"I don't know. Why are you asking me anyway? This is also my first time hearing about it." Tenki shook his head. He couldn't say that he knew because the person they were talking about was him.

After returning from lake Motosu six months ago, Tenku and Setsuka's relationship became closer. The girl kept her promise by making food for him three to four times weekly.

Setsuka delivers the bento in person during lunch break and sometimes to his apartment when school is off. Of course, she did it secretly so others wouldn't find out and started some weird gossip around the school. Tenku also kept his promise to Setsuka by meeting Kohana often and playing with her.

Tenku had forgotten Wang Haotian's advice to stay away from the members of the strongest Realizer group in Japan because he saw the sincerity in Setsuka's eyes. Also, Kohana reminds him of Haruna. So Tenku decided to stay in touch with them and bear whatever risks awaited him.

"Yes, I asked the wrong person. I forgot you weren't interested in that kind of thing." Noboru sighed and shook his head in response to Tenku's words.

"Put that matter aside for now. By the way, do you guys have any ideas for next week's cultural festival?" Takaya suddenly changed the topic of their conversation.

"That is the business of the class representative and the other students. I don't have time to think about that. I will only be selling crispy tofu during the event and have no intention of participating in their plans." Tenku replied. But before they could answer him, he continued his words.

"Ah, I will take my leave first since I have something to do in my apartment. Till tomorrow." Tenku took his bag and left the two without waiting for their reply. He wanted to quickly continue his practice and comprehend the next level of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique.

Takaya and Noboru looked at each other and sighed when they saw Tenku coming out of the classroom. They were used to his behavior. Tenku always hurriedly returned to his apartment after school for some unknown reason.

On the way back to his apartment, Tenku walked while listening to music from his wireless headphones. But just as he was about to turn up the volume on his smartphone, someone suddenly bumped into him from behind.

Thud!

"Ugh! I'm sorry!" That person said apologetically and quickly picked up Tenku's smartphone that had fallen because of her. But then she was surprised when she saw the content on the smartphone.
