Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 45 45

?The next day, Akina woke up feeling refreshed. She didn't know why, but Akina quickly fell asleep after burying herself in Tenku's bed. But before she fell asleep, Akina first informed her parents that she was going to stay at a friend's house because she was caught in heavy rain. Besides, it was already night, and Akina didn't dare to go home alone because it was dangerous.

Of course, Akina wouldn't say she was staying at Tenku's apartment because her father wouldn't approve and would pick her up immediately, even in a heavy rain situation.

Tenku and Akina woke up earlier than usual and went to school together. This time Akina didn't mind if the two of them had to walk side by side because she didn't want to repeat what she had done in the past. She had to act aggressively so that the boy beside her wouldn't go away from her.

On the way to school, they didn't talk much because Tenku was mostly silent, and Akina didn't know where to start the conversation. This was the first time they had gone to a school like this after nine years of living together under the same roof.

Akina felt sorry for what she had done in the past. If she tried to get closer to Tenku instead of keeping her distance from him because of her ego, their atmosphere wouldn't be as awkward as it is now. But regret was still regretted; nothing would change if Akina only thought about it. What she had to do now was fix it and strengthen her relationship with Tenku.

After Tenku arrived at school, he and Akina separated and went to their respective classes. In the corridor leading to his classroom, Tenku ran into Asuka. But since the other party ignored him, he also paid no attention to her and passed by without seeing her.

When Tenku arrived at his classroom, he was greeted by Takaya and Noboru. Then the two chatted and talked about the mission of their organization. Tenku raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

"Are you also participating in the joint mission at Lake Shima?" Tenku asks them.

"Of course, we took part in the mission! It's a good chance for us to hone our fighting skills after basic training at the club. I can't wait to fight the monsters!" Noboru clenched his fists and replied excitedly.

"Did you also participate in the mission?" Takaya quickly realized something from Tenku's question.

"Yes. I signed up last night and will be participating in the mission." Tenku nodded slightly in response. He did not expect that Takaya and Noboru were also on the mission.

"Good! I can't wait for our first mission in the organization. We can go and fight monsters together!" Noboru patted Tenku's shoulder and laughed.

"What do you mean by fighting together against monsters? Wouldn't he be a burden if he took part in the mission?" a male student suddenly sneered when he heard Noboru's words.

"He's right. What can a weak student like him do? He would put the other students who took part in the mission in danger and hinder their battle." a female student added another ridicule.

The two students will also participate in the mission and feel annoyed when they hear Noboru's words. They thought that Tenku was a disgrace in class C and his performance on the mission might embarrass their class even further.

"You!" Takaya felt angry with their ridicule of his best friend. But Tenku raised his hand to stop him and shook his head.

"You don't need to care about them. If you reply to their words, you will only waste your energy in vain. Have you prepared for your first mission?" Tenku smiled and ignored the ridicule around him. He didn't want to waste his voice arguing with them because he wouldn't gain anything from it.

Takaya and Noboru realized that Tenku didn't want them to get into trouble with the students in the same class. Both could only sigh and ignore the ridicule of the students around them, according to Tenku's wish. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

"Yes. My father has given me a dimension watch as well as combat gear. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to bring combat gear into the classroom. If not, I want to show it to you. So I can only show you my dimension watch first for now." Takaya sighed and proudly showed a watch with a futuristic design on his left hand.

"I wasn't as lucky as Takaya. The dimension watch is very expensive, and my father can only buy me combat gear because he thinks it is more important and useful for this mission." Noboru said in a weak voice and looked envious of Takaya's dimension watch.

"What your father said is true. Combat gear is very important for your defense and is needed in every mission that requires you to fight monsters. Even though I have one, mine is not as good as yours." Tenku patted Noboru on the shoulder and tried to cheer him up.

But before Noboru could reply to Tenku's words, Hayate entered the classroom, and their lesson began.

Time passed quickly, and Hayate's lesson ended just before lunchtime. Noboru and Takaya invited Tenku to eat together in the cafeteria, and he accepted. But he wouldn't buy food at that place because he brought a bento for lunch made by Akina.

After waking up in the morning, Akina cooks at Tenku's apartment with minimal ingredients and makes bento for their lunch before they leave for school. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

When they sat at the table and were ready to enjoy their food, Noboru and Takaya glanced at Tenku's lunch which looked simple but very appetizing because it was arranged so beautifully, and the aroma made them hungry. The one who decorated the bento was Akina; she did it with all her heart and made it look delicious.

"Who made your lunch? If you're going to say you made it yourself, you better stop because I won't believe it." Takaya looks at Tenku's lunch with envy because he believes that it was made by a girl so that the appearance of the bento becomes very beautifully arranged.

"Yes. Who is the girl who made the lunch for you?" Noboru asked curiously because he also felt the same way as Takaya. The two had sharp harem intuition and could tell the difference between a girl's and a boy's work.

"Okay. We don't need to talk about it. You'd better finish your lunch quickly because we'll be gathering in the schoolyard in a bit. Don't you want to participate in this mission?" Tenku diverted their conversation because he was too lazy to answer their curiosity. He knew that if he answered honestly, they would keep bombarding him with more questions.

"Oh, you're right. We should quickly finish our lunch and prepare for this mission. We also have to put on our combat gear. You will be amazed when you see how handsome I look after wearing it." Noboru agreed with Tenku's words and ate his lunch quickly.

"Hehe… Then, we'll have to see who's more handsome among us after we put on the combat gear." Takaya's sense of competition was ignited after he heard Noboru's words.

"Ooh! I agree with you! I can't wait to compare our dashing looks and show off to the girls in this school!" Noboru replied excitedly and didn't want to lose to Takaya.

Tenku could only sigh while listening to their chatter. He didn't want to be dragged into their rivalry. After that, Tenku and his two friends finished their lunch and immediately left the cafeteria to prepare themselves.

Tenku, Takaya and Noboru didn't take long to prepare themselves and put on their combat gear. After that, the three immediately went to the school grounds to gather with the other students who would also be participating in the mission.

Takaya and Noboru wore combat gear in light metal armor that covered their chest and shoulder areas with inner suits of black clothing like leather. On the other hand, Tenku wore normal casual clothes with leather armor covering his chest area.

Unlike his two companions who would fight on the front line, Tenku, with his Phantasmal Object, would act as a gunner and fire his attacks from a distance. Because of that, he didn't need excessive armor. Moreover, he couldn't wear his main combat gear in that mission.

Tenku also saw Asuka at that place, and she seemed to be participating in the mission. The girl was wearing leather armor that looked expensive and strong. She stood beside Akio, who was wearing shiny silver armor. Several other female students also surrounded him. The boy's figure looks heroic, like a brave man in a novel, and attracts the attention of the girls around him.

"He is like a protagonist." Noboru said enviously.

Tenku could only shake his head and look the other way. He found Setsuka chatting with Kaede and a male student he wasn't familiar with.

Setsuka wears combat gear like a shrine maiden outfit with a combination of white and red and minimal metal ornamentation. She replaced the hakama with a short skirt and used black stockings to cover her slender legs so they wouldn't be too exposed. It made her move around in battle easier since her Phantasmal Object was a sword. Currently, Setsuka looks very beautiful and sacred.

On the other hand, Kaede was wearing a modified modern kimono. Like Setsuka, she also wears a skirt to make it easier for her to move around in battle. The male student with them was wearing full armor similar to Akio's but copper in color.

Tenku was about to check on the other students participating in the mission, but someone suddenly called him from behind.

"Tenku!" Akina raised her voice slightly and jogged towards Tenku.
