Fake Day One?

“You’re done. Flame Slash!” Zakuya swings his sword targeting Day 1’s neck.

“(Is this the end of me?!)” Day 1 said as he sees Zakuya’s sword on his neck.

Day 1 close its eyes, and then.

*Slash! *

Zakuya decapitated Day 1, and the body falls to the ground, with the head of day 1.

“Did I, do it?” Zakuya said, as he try to get up.

As he tries to gets up, Zakuya sees that the body of Day 1 is quickly melting into liquid.

“Hey, boy.”

Zakuya heard a calm voice, so he forces himself to stand up, and when he did, he sees Day 1’s head talking.

“Hey, boy…”

Zakuya look at Day 1’s head. Day 1 sees Zakuya, and continue to talk.

“Boy, you probably knows by now, that I wasn’t really a Day 1.” Day 1 said, while his head is melting.

“(He wasn’t?!)” Zakuya said in his mind, with shocked tone.

“I mean, if you ever face the real Day 1, with that strength, magic, and power. You will never stand a chance against the real day 1.” The fake Day 1 said, and by this time he has only his mouth.

“Or even gets close to him, remember this boy, Days and weeks are in the different league.” The fake day 1 said, as it’s whole face become liquid.

“(That incredible, with my current power level I won’t be able to stand a chance against the level of Day 1. I need to train more, train harder.)” Zakuya said in his mind.

After listening to the fake day 1, Zakuya pick up his sword, and look around, to see how much damage they dealt to the forest.

There’s a lot of trees on the ground, as well as burning trees.

“I’m sorry, mother earth for this damage.” Zakuya said.

After that Zakuya use flout, and he fly away, he look for Kazuya, Katsu, Izuki, and Eichi.

While flying Zakuya sees that Eichi are healing Katsu, while Kazuya cut the long branch in Katsu’s body, then he pull the branch that were on Katsu’s body.

“She was healing Katsu, instead of Izuki. I guess some change was made, because of us.”

Before Zakuya land, he sees that Eichi were about to finish healing Katsu’s stomach.

When Zakuya was about to land, he yells at them— “Hey, guys!” then all of them look at up where they see him landing.

“Zakuya.” Kazuya said.

“So, you did come here. But where did you go.” Izuki said.

After that Zakuya land on the ground, while Eichi, Kazuya, and Izuki are looking at him.

“And what happened to your face, and body? Are you okay?” Kazuya said.

“I’m okay, I just fight some strong monster.” Zakuya said while his left eye was close by his own blood.

“Is that so.” Izuki said.

“Thank you for healing me.” Katsu said, while his back is facing them.

“No problem.” Eichi said. After that Eichi went to Kazuya, and she start to heal him too.

While Eichi was healing Kazuya, Zakuya went to Izuki, and he gets out the stone that were stole to Eichi, and he gives it to Izuki.

“Hey, Izuki.” Zakuya said as he whispered to Izuki.

“Hmm?” Izuki said as his face turns to Zakuya.

“Here.” Zakuya said, as he gives the stone to Izuki.

“Huh? How do you have this?” Izuki said.

“Just take it, and tell her that you got it. Somehow.” Zakuya said.

“Huh? How did you know that she was looking for this? And how did you know her?” Izuki said in confused tone.

“Just take it.” Zakuya said.

Izuki takes the stone, and he put it in his pocket. Zakuya look at Eichi, who just finished healing Kazuya.

“We need to report what happened here, to lead.” After that Kazuya took out a scroll.

“(Damn, look at those cut trees. Again, I’m sorry mother Earth for this.)” Zakuya said in his mind.

“Okay, let’s gather up.” Kazuya said, as he throws the scroll in the middle of them.

Zakuya, Izuki, and Katsu gets close to the scroll. Seeing that they get close to the scroll, Eichi does what everyone do. After that the teleport scroll, starts teleporting them back to the base.

While they’re being teleported back to the base, Eichi asks— “What is happening?” While looking at the light blue wall.

“Don’t worry, we’ll getting teleported away.” Zakuya said, while looking at Eichi.

“Is that so.” Eichi said, then she notices that Zakuya’s face is bleeding.

“Your face is bleeding, should I heal you?” Eichi said.

“No need to worry, about me. I’ll be alright.” Zakuya said as he gives Eichi a thump up.

After that the light blue was lowers, and they see their base.

Eichi looks at the base, with amazed in her face.

“Let’s go, and report this to lead, so we can get some sleep now.” Kazuya said.

“Yeah.” Zakuya respond.

“Hey, Takamiya-san you can stay here for the night, you’re far from where you live right?” Izuki said.

“O-okay…” Eichi nods, before she responds.

After that they enter the base, and head to the room of Seto’s room to report what happened to the forest. After reporting what happened to the forest, they head outside of Seto’s room, and there Izuki sees Yuno.

“Isogai, I heard that she will stay for a night.” Yuno said.

“Yeah.” Izuki responds.

“And where is she sleeping?” Yuno asks.

“??? In my room. Why?” Izuki responds, and then asks.

After hearing what Izuki said, Yuno looks at Eichi, and then she talks— “Then hey, follow me, you’ll be sleeping in my room.”

“Huh? Hey, Umaru-san what are—” When Izuki talk, Yuno pushed Eichi, towards her room, and didn’t respond to Izuki, while Eichi is looking at Izuki as she was pushed by Yuno. After they both get inside the room. Yuno closes the door, while Izuki is confused of what Yuno did.

After that he see Zakuya getting down stairs.

“Huh? Hey Zakuya were you going?” Izuki asks.

“Uh… I’m heading back to the house that I rent. I need to get back there now; I have school to attend to. It’s 3 in the morning so.” Zakuya respond, as he gets down stairs.

“Oh… right I almost forgot about that. Well then, be careful okay.” Izuki said.

After that Zakuya head outside, and he used flout, and fly back to the house, he rent close to the school. When Zakuya return to the house, he was too tried, because the effect of adrenaline rush is wearing off. Now Zakuya is too tried to even go to the gadget, and to go to the hot spring to get heal. Zakuya feels that he uses to much energy on the fake Day 1 fight. When Zakuya gets to his bed, he just drop to the bed, and now he was asleep.

*Next day*

When Zakuya wake up, he looks at his phone, and he was already late to school. Because of that Zakuya immediately stand up, and change his clothes, without taking a bath, and he head to the school. He didn’t know that the blood in his face dry, and he didn’t even notice the blood on his bed, even though his left eye is opened now.

Zakuya land to the ground, and immediately enter the campus, and luckily Zakuya was only late 10 mins. Zakuya immediately head to his classroom. When he gets in the classroom, all his classmates look him. Zakuya immediately apologize to his teacher for being late. Then Zakuya hear his classmates whisper— “What happened on his face.”

“Did he get in fight on his way here?” And a lot more about the blood on his face. Zakuya look at them, and confused of what they were saying.

Then Zakuya’s teacher talk— “Hey, Zakuya… What happened to your face? Did you get in fight on your way here? That’s why your late?” When Zakuya was asks with that question, it add up to his confusion.

“Huh? I’m not—”

“Are you okay?” The teacher asks.

“Yeah, I am…” Zakuya respond with confused tone.

“Then, why your face has blood stain?” The teacher asks.

“Huh?” Zakuya said with confused expression. Zakuya pull out his phone, and he use it as a mirror, and there he see his face with blood stains.

“(Oh no!!! I forgot to clean up before I go to sleep! I’m so exhausted that night that I forgot to clean up!)” Zakuya said in his mind.

“I’m sorry! I’ll clean my face! Immediately!” Zakuya said, and then his classmates talk, except Furina who was seriously looking at him.

After that Zakuya head to the restroom, and he clean up his face. After he cleans up his face, he heads back to the classroom, when he get back he still hear his classmates talking, but he just went straight to his table.

The day went by like normal, and the school end, without abnormality appearing.
