Rustling wind passed by Jean's ears.
"Checkmate" on the roof of school, she played chess with her Stand.
Her Stand moved a pawn to block for its king.
She moved one chess piece to attack. Story Guider moved one in return attack.
The only sound reverberating on the rooftop of school is the sound of chessboard clashing chess piece.
Story Guilder moved a King. Immediately, the game ended.
"It's my defeat. Good match." it was Jean's voice.
On the board, no matter how she moved her King, it's always checkmate.
"That will be marked as 120-0" Jean announced result.
After this game, Jean knew that her Stand is special in someway. Her chess may be not good but not too bad.
There is time to test its limit, Jean let it play with AI in super nightmare mode. In the end, it always ends in Story Guilder's victory.
Even though she knew she will be lost, she kept doing this to his Stand. This is the way to communicate with her Stand.
She need to raise bond between her and her Stand. It will be awkward if we continue living as a stranger.
After each match, she understood her Stand more and more.
She stood up and moved to the fence.
From this height, she can see everything and everyone. All thing is normal.
"I wish this peace can be kept like this forever."
Looking through the fence of rooftop, it reminded her the chaos of apocalypse.
Inside her knew this peace can't be kept forever, something will come. She knew that but can't do anything to stop it.
She once heard Jotaro said that Stand user attracts another Stand user.
Jean can't help but to believe that. This town is small but when she took a tour around a town. She discovered that there were more Stand user than she thought.
Usually the world with bizarre power named Stand can't be peaceful. Who knows one day, the big moon fell to the earth.
"Story Guilder. Can you tell me something?"
Story Guilder hovered behind with indescribable expression. It raised both shoulders helplessly.
"I thought you can talk."
She raised her head and saw a sparrow flying on the sky.
"I wonder what is felt like to be a bird."
Jean remembered that she has deadline must finish in tonight.
"Whatever. Hmm. Who is that?" her eyes wondered around the school and found a blonde guy sneakily around the school yard.
Story Guilder followed behind that guy.
"That guy … is a bit familiar. Did I meet him somewhere?" Jean looked at him enter a warehouse illegally. "And where is the security."
She closed both her eyes. A image appeared in her mind. What Story Guilder see will transmit to her mind.
"That's Josuke and Okuyasu." seeing them escaping the warehouse in hurry manner, she wondered what is going inside that warehouse since that warehouse had Stranger.
Not longer after that, Shigekiyo also left the warehouse. "That's their new friend."
"His expression is a bit wrong. He is angry" Story Guilder hovered on the air looking down to ground. Everything I saw through Story Guilder will be clear in details. Even the dust on Shigekiyo can be seen clearly.
I named this ability "Reader POV"
My Stand is presented as aspect of story. Story Guilder sees the world as a Story. As long as it belongs to story then Story Guilder can read it.
There is time she doubted that she lived in a story so she used her Stand to check. No abnormality was found in the end. She have tried this many times and only stopped when she drew a conclusion that she lived in a real world.
Immediately after Shigekiyo left, that stranger left the warehouse.
He walked away in cheerful tone.
"He heads towards school fence." Jean always kept her eyes on him.
That's good anyway. She didn't want to have trouble.
"Hey you. Why are you taking my lunch" it was Shigekiyo's voice which startled this stranger.
"Give it back" they both pulled a paper bag. The paper bag can't endure the tug between them as a result, it was tore apart.
"That is" Story Guilder focused on object laying on the ground. "It's human hand"
"May god" She can see the blood trace. "My Jesus."
Things won't go well from now on.
"My name is Kira Yoshikage. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh." a guys named Kira introduced his routine daily life.
"What are you trying to talk about?"
"I'm trying to explain that I'm the person who wishes to live in a very quiet life."
On the rooftop
"Quiet life. Who is this guy? A clown. And what police do nowadays. Do my tax go into their pocket?"
A missing people will cause the dispute in social. How can this guy go around with human hand as nothing.
"It is your bad luck to end here" A deadly aura conjured behind him.
"Stand user." Jean exclaimed.
"I call it Killer Queen"
"You. You. Stay there. Harvest." a bee like Stand besieged Killer Queen and Kira.
"This number is a little too much. Allow me to demonstrate its ability."
"Take it, Harvest." a Harvest took an object that Kira hid.
"What are you doing?"
"I gonna demonstrate how can I do with 100 yen coin." a coin illuminated and exploded blowing pity Shigekiyo.
"Ah. My face."
"I'm very interesting in you and your friends." Kira licked Shigekiyo's blood.
Jean stood on rooftop observing everything. "This guy is courting death. Let give him one. One that he never forgets."
Jean normally don't care about Stranger but this time is special. That is her own student. As a teacher, Jean knows she has responsibility to protect her own student. She is not kind of apathetic person.
A psycho. A killer. Just a clown in her eyes.
"Story Guilder" Jean re-summoned her Stand.
Story Guilder picked the Rock piece up.
"Adjust angle, calculate the direction of wind. Calculate distance" Jean held tightly the Rock piece with fingers.
Through Story Guilder's eyes, she can see what happen behind the building opposite her.
"Weather don't favour on me this time but who are you kidding." the Rock piece was crushed at high pressure. "I can live to this day without depending on my luck."
Inside Jean's palm, Story Guilder's finger was there.
"Fire." Story Guilder flicked finger. A Rock piece was shot through Jean's hand.
It flew through the opened window. It passed through the gap of closing door. It touched the chemistry bottle on table and dropped to the ground. The door is closing and a bottle is broken on ground scattering dangerous chemistry.
"Checkmate to you, Kira" In the room, there is another chess piece. It was a queen piece.
The bottle of water that is forgotten by some student dropped to ground. A flow of water slowly made its way towards the broken bottle. It contacted with metal on the ground. A small light ignited.
*Boom* A chemistry room was exploded.
"What happen." Shigekiyo stuttered.
There were many shattering glass piece falling to the ground. And it happened to be in Kira's place.
"Killer Queen. Blow those piece up." An another explosion rang out but this one is silent to people without Stand.
Shigekiyo saw this situation immediately making a fast run.
What happened just now is a normal reaction between Sodium and Water. It created a explosion in a closing room. The change of pressure made window glass break. "That's about 1000 g Sodium. I will file a complain to principal after this"
"Hmm. You are more resistant than I thought" Jean picked up the King piece. "How about this one"
A King piece was shot like a cannon. It flew through broken glass and touched metal bar on window.
The metal bar was dropped to ground aiming Kira's head.
Kira kept using explosion to avoid injury without seeing the metal bar.
"Killer Queen" his Stand punched the bar away.
"Ahh" but the shattering glass stabbed into his shoulder.
Kira now liked a wounded beast.
"Run away. This is your last chance." Jean muttered while watching through Story Guilder's vision.
"How can I, Kira, sleep well after this" Kira dragged his body after Shigekiyo.
"That is. You have made a choice."
"Josuke can heal me." Shigekiyo can see Josuke through window glass. And Josuke was on the opposite building. The school is chaotic now. No one have a time to care this guy.
"Oh my. Oh my. You take my time a lot. You know." Also through that window, Shigekiyo can see the reflect of Kira.
"I know I cause a big mess now. That is why I will kill you fast. No one is allowed to know my identity."
Shigekiyo pulled the window knob trying to run away
"Killer Queen has already touched that window knob." Killer Queen's finger touched invisible button.
1 second passes … 2 second passes … 3 second passes … Nothing happened.
Killer Queen tried again but nothing happened.
"You are Kira, right." Behind the door revealed Jean-sensei. "I was waiting for you."
"Shigekiyo-san. There will be no class for today. You can go home." Shigekiyo shocked cause he never saw this side of sensei. "Beside we, adults, are having business here."
"So Kira. You want to talk here or inside. I prefer inside since it's empty."
