Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 66 66

?After Tenku returned to camp, he quickly got treatment for his injuries; the one who did it was Akina. When the girl saw the gunshot wound on his shoulder, her heart ached, and tears flowed from her eyes. It was the scar that Tenku got when he saved her.

Akina quickly wiped her tears before Tenku noticed it, and she was shocked when she saw many other scars on Tenku's body.

"What's this scar? Why are there so many scars on your body?" Akina asked and touched an old scar on Tenku's back.

"Ah, those are the scars from a small accident and the others caused by training." Tenku answered calmly.

Akina didn't believe that answer, but if Tenku didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask any further.

On the other hand, Takaya and Noboru were waiting outside the tent worriedly. Akina asked them to wait outside to avoid disturbing the treatment. Not long after, Tenku came out with Akina after the treatment was finished.

"How are you feeling now, Tenku? Are you able to move well with that wound of yours?" Takaya asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. I don't think it's a problem if it's just a small movement. Why do you ask that?" Tenku was confused why Takaya asked such a question.

"Mr. Okamoto wants to meet you in his tent." Takaya said a message from Daisuke. Tenku raised her eyebrows after hearing that.

"Why did he want to see me?" Tenku became alert because he was worried that Daisuke had recognized him. He returned to camp, assuming that no one knew his identity.

While helping Setsuka in the cave, Tenku felt that the girl recognized him and said his name. But because the situation at that time was very noisy due to the falling stalactites and the pain in his shoulder, Tenku ignored what she said. So he wasn't sure if Setsuka knew his identity or not.

Based on that prediction, Tenku mustered up the courage to return to camp and put his school life on the line. Suppose Setsuka recognizes him and reveals his true identity to the others. In that case, he has to drop out of Suisei High School, and his relationship with the girl who was originally an acquaintance will turn into an enemy because Tenku doesn't like traitors.

"I don't know. He just left the message for me and asked me to pass it on to you after you finished treatment." Takaya shook her head.

"By the way, what is your relationship with Miss Fuyushima? Why did she come to us to tell us about your situation, and now she's coming to you when you return? Has something happened between you?" Takaya suddenly asked, and that made Akina frown.

"Ah! I want to know that too! I am curious about your relationship with Miss Fuyushima!" Noboru added excitedly.

"You guys misunderstood. I will explain it to you after I talk to Mr. Okamoto." Tenku smiled bitterly in response to that question. He wanted to go to Daisuke's tent, but Akina suddenly appeared beside him and supported him.

"I will accompany you to that place!" Akina didn't want Tenku to walk to Daisuke's tent in his current state. After treating him, Akina was surprised that Tenku could walk with such a severe wound. Even so, she couldn't let him go alone.

A normal Realizer would need one week of rest to recover from such injuries until he could walk again unless he drank a potion or elixir. But those items were costly, and Akina was sure that Tenku didn't drink them.

"Okay, thank you." Tenku quickly agreed.

"We will also come with you." Takaya looked at Noboru, and the other party nodded in response to his words. After that, they walked towards Daisuke's tent, which was not far from that place.

Daisuke's tent is different from the other tents at the camp and is large enough to accommodate twenty people at a time. It wasn't something the organization provided but Daisuke's personal property. When Tenku arrived in front of Daisuke's tent, he met a male student.

"Are you Tenku? Mr. Okamoto is waiting for you inside. You can also invite your friends to come in." The male student said and immediately left the place without waiting for Tenku's answer.

Tenku frowned when he heard that Daisuke was waiting for him with someone else. He thought that he would talk to Daisuke in the tent alone.

"Let's go inside." Tenku sighed and entered the tent along with Akina and the others.

After Tenku entered the tent, he raised her eyebrows when he saw the people inside. Daisuke sat cross-legged on the carpet along with two other senior Realizers and several teachers.

There were also Setsuka, Kaede, Satoru, Hijiri, and several second and third-year students. Akio and Asuka were also in the tent with their friends. Tenku didn't know what they were doing in that place.

"Sit down." Daisuke motioned for Tenku and the others to sit down and then spoke to Akio.

Akina deliberately sat next to Tenku, making Setsuka's face darken. After Tenku sat down, he overheard Daisuke's conversation with Akio. His group had come to the tent because Daisuke had called them to help him convey instructions to the other first-year students. After that, Daisuke looked at Tenku and opened his mouth.

"How are you? Are you all right?" Daisuke asked.

"My wound has received treatment, and my condition has improved." Tenku replied.

"That's great. I heard that you saved Miss Fuyushima from the wyvern's attack. Is that true?" Daisuke didn't want to waste time and immediately asked the reason for calling Tenku to his tent. His words shocked some of the people there.

(Ooh... So that's how it goes. No wonder senior Fuyushima forced herself to approach him when she saw him return to camp)

Akio thought Setsuka did that to Tenku simply because she was in debt to him. On the other hand, Asuka couldn't believe that Tenku had saved Setsuka. She had heard how mighty the wyvern was from the first and second-year students. So it's impossible for Tenku to come back safely from that attack.

(Fortunately, there is no special relationship between them)

Satoru sighed in relief after hearing that.

"Save the president? I think it's a misunderstanding, Mr. Okamoto." Tenku shook his head, and his words made Setsuka sad.

"What do you mean by misunderstanding?" Daisuke and the others were confused when they heard Tenku's answer. Only Setsuka in the tent knew why Tenku said that.

"At that time, I was being chased by a lone wolf. I subconsciously dashed toward the president and pushed her away from the wyvern's attack trajectory. After that, I was the one who was hit by the fireball." Tenku explained seriously, and it sounded like the truth to them but not to Setsuka. Her body trembled, and she clenched her fists tightly after hearing the story. Setsuka wanted to say something, but no words came out of her mouth.

Kaede noticed Setsuka's strange behavior and became more and more convinced that there was something between her best friend and Tenku. She narrowed her eyes at Tenku. She was determined to find out the problem of the two people because Kaede couldn't bear to see her best friend sad.

On the other hand, Akio and the others smiled mockingly at Tenku, and Asuka sighed in relief after learning the truth.

"Even though you didn't do it on purpose, you saved Miss Fuyushima. Were the wounds on your body from the wyvern's attack? But why are there no burn marks?" Daisuke couldn't believe Tenku's words because he felt there was something odd about his explanation.

"I wasn't directly hit by the fireball and was only impacted. I was blown away too far, and a tree branch punctured my shoulder." Tenku added another explanation. He said so smoothly, and Daisuke finally believed him.

"I understand. In that case, you can return to your tent to rest. We will return to Suisei High School after two hours." Daisuke nodded and didn't want to keep Tenku in his tent any longer after getting what he wanted to know.

"Yes, Mr. Okamoto." Tenku bowed her head to Daisuke. Akina helped him to stand up and get out of the tent along with Takaya and Noboru. Before exiting the tent, Akina glanced at Setsuka and smiled victoriously. Setsuka couldn't help but frown under the provocation from the first-year students. But she couldn't do anything and could only clench her fists.

After returning to his tent, Tenku sat cross-legged and began refining the genesis power he had obtained after killing many monsters in the cave into the true Qi. He was happy because the harvest this time was immense, and his strength had increased drastically. The Devourer Scythe had stepped into the moon phase, and the Golden Revolver had become the asteroid phase.

He used the two hours given by Daisuke to condense true Qi to create a new ring on the light ball within his dantian called the Profound Qi Core.

Tenku exhaled turbid air after the third ring in the Profound Qi core in his dantian was created, and it showed that he had broken through to the late stage of the Sky Origin realm. He smiled broadly after feeling the immense power from his body.

"Wait for me, Haruna. I will go to that world to look for you!" Tenku said seriously and clenched his fist tightly. Then he stood up and prepared himself because they were returning to Suisei High School.

In a room within the branch office of the Belial Alliance organization, a middle-aged man was sitting in a machine with a fourth-level monster core next to him. The device is a Genesis Injector, and the man inside is Shigeru Yamanaka, the owner of the Yamanaka Group, one of Japan's leading companies.

The room door opened automatically, and a man in a black suit entered. The man was Shigeru's subordinate and stood silently beside the machine.

"Did something happen?" Shigeru opened his eyes and stepped out of the machine.

"Yes, sir. We received news that young master Shinji had disappeared during a mission, and his body was not found despite searching the monster hideout. The mission leader assumed that he had died along with his friends." The black suit person reported.

"What!?" Shigeru felt like he had been struck by lightning when he heard the news and killing intent burst from his body. The person in the black suit knelt under pressure from his power.

"I want you to find information about that matter! Find out anyone who was hostile to my son or who died with him!" Shigeru gave orders to his subordinates.

"I understand, sir." The man in the black suit stood up and quickly left to carry out Shigeru's orders.

"If my son dies from being killed by monsters, then I want the leader in the mission to take responsibility! But if someone kills him, I will make the culprit and his family die a horrible death!!!" Shigeru roared angrily, and his voice shook everything in the room.
