The Leader of The Crimson Flag

"Eh? You say you're from the Researcher Club and you're investigating about the 'Crimson Rain' incident?" 

The three delinquents who were chilling on the side of the road were questioned by some random dudes. Claiming he's from the Researcher Club. 

"Oi, what's the deal bastard?! Why the hell we gotta tell you about that huh?!" Said one of the delinquents trying to intimidate the guy. 

"Wait, you say you're gonna bring this to the school newspaper and put our names and pictures in the school's newspaper?! 

"Oh my god, Is this the chance for us to be famous?!" Said the other delinquent with sparkling eyes. 

"*Cough* Then I'll tell you about the incident but in return make sure you put our handsome face nicely in the newspaper got it?" 

"Okay, the story started when Ryuma Ochirou from the Crimson's Flag Gang was against Hanjirei from the Raging Leopard Gang. That was the fight that decides the one who'll become The King Of Hana."

"When the whole gang started to fight against each other, I saw it. Ryuma and Hanjirei were punching each other. Even after 30 minutes, even one of them still has yet to go down." 

"Nobody knew if they actually had any intention to kill each other because both of them had a body covered in blood. Despite that, they're still smiling. At this point, both of the gang members that were covered in bruises and injuries were in awe of their king who is still standing that they've stopped fighting." 

"Not long after that, the first one to go down is Hanjirei. Despite he's got body triple the size of Ryuma, was on his four in front of Ryuma himself, indicating that he lost to him. But it didn't end there. Hanjirei couldn't accept the fact that he was losing and decided to rely on magic." 

"Hanjirei has an attribute of fire, starting to cover the whole field on fire. That fire caused both of the gang members that were nearby to be caught in the fire. But, the one who's the most damaged is Ryuma. Hanjirei almost burned Ryuma to a crisp. Leaving him just on his scorched pants. Ryuma falls on his back. At that moment, everybody thought that was the end of Ryuma. And Crimson's Flag." 

"And then a miracles happen. It started to rain. Immediately extinguished the fire that was on the gang's members and the entire field. But that's not all, Hanjirei who was laughing about his victory a moment ago was surprised. What did he was looking for?" 

"There was, Ryuma who's standing in about twenty meters in front of him. We couldn't actually see well at that time. Probably because the rain was heavy. But I saw a glimpse of it. The others probably saw it too but Ryuma who normally has white hair just turned to white-blue. His eyes that have a color of the red crimson also have turned into blue." 

"At the moment he started moving. I actually don't know what was happening. The rain started to become too heavy. But I saw a glimpse of Ryuma hitting Hanjirei on every part of his body. The next thing we see is, that Ryuma is only standing on his feet meanwhile Hanjirei is on the ground, unconscious." 

"At that moment, everyone witnessed the born of the new King Of Hana. The Crimson's Flag was led by its leader, Ryuma Ochirou. It was yet our greatest moment until he disbanded the gang two days later. The end. So, Mr.researcher... make sure to put my name and picture the biggest in front of the newspaper!" 

"Wait, why are you the biggest?! It should've been mine the biggest!" 

"No! It should've been me!" The three delinquents started arguing among themself. Meanwhile, the guy from the researcher club can only laugh it off. 

To the presents... 

Line and Valena were against Ryuma. For some reason, Ryuma didn't attack either Line or Valena. He's only standing there. Facing upwards under the heavy rain. Line then whisper to Valena... 

"Pstss, Vale. Listen here..." After Valena was fully healed she finally stepped up and ran towards Ryuma. Supported by Line, she's attacking Ryuma from the rear. Two 'lines' were coming towards the left and right of him. 

"Thousand Injections!" One line was divided into many small lines. Making it look almost like a needle. But little did she know, the thousand lines were diverted by the water Ryuma controlled. Both left and right, the line makes a full rotation around him. 

Valena was coming from above. Jumped over the line to get to Ryuma. 

"I've got you now!" As Valena was still in the air Ryuma sent the thousands of lines he diverted earlier toward Valena. But she was saved by Line by sending another 'line' and dragging her to Ryuma's rear. She slashed him but once again she got fooled by a water illusion. 

Line was coming close to Ryuma as well and she summons about seven 'lines' to attack him. With her 'line' disrupted and the water mirror, Ryuma swiftly dodged the 'line' as the 'line' kept coming back, Valena followed through among the droplets and the 'line'. She came to a close distance against Ryuma. 

Valena keeps slashing him and Ryuma on the other hand, evades and counterattacks it by using water magic such as waterball, water cutter, or water piercing. Line also joined in by attacking Ryuma from behind. 

"Line's Sword!" The lines were coming out from both of her hands, forming a form of a dual sword. Both Line and Valena were in close combat and kept attacking Ryuma from one direction to the other. Both of them had a pretty good combination as they've almost cornered Ryuma. 

The reason Ryuma wouldn't come close is because of Valena's void rapier. He's aware that one hit from the rapier would be considered fatal. Meanwhile, Line on the other hand keeps summoning the 'line' around her whenever he wants to counterattack. 

"Thousand Injections!" The thousands line was coming towards Ryuma's right and there's Valena on the left. So the only resolve he had in him was to gamble. Ryuma proceeded to charge towards the thousand line while creating a water shield. 

"He... he's coming here?!" A few small 'lines' have stabbed Ryuma but thankfully it's not on the fatal parts. Line's panic thrust her sword on Ryuma but he dodged it and counterattacked Line by hitting her three times and throwing her towards Valena's direction. 

Valena let go of her rapier to catch Line. Ryuma's prediction was correct. She had to hold her weapon for her to activate 'Voidless Tools'. Ryuma then created a dozen of small waterball and surrounded them with it. The waterballs were spinning around Line and Valena. Creating the water pulse until they both were caught within it. The water pulse was making them spin until the water pulse disappeared itself. 

While both Line and Valena were dizzy on the floor, Ryuma's hand was spinning something above them. 

"IS THIS ALL YOU'VE GOT?! THEN... I'LL LET YOU TASTE MY STRONGEST YET ATTACK!!! 

As Ryuma said that, the water was spinning in the sky. Ryuma was collecting the water among the droplets of water. Bit by bit, Making it almost like water in the jar. 

"WATERFALL!!!" Ryuma dropped the condensed rainwater he gathered in the air onto the two girls. From Line's perspective, the rain is getting heavier by ten times the amount before. Both of them were helpless as it was like a bucket of water just dropped on top of them. Both Line and Valena were almost crushed underneath the rain. After a while, Ryuma finally stopped. 

Line was helpless meanwhile Valena on the other hand, trying to reach out for her rapier. As she was about to reach her rapier, Ryuma immediately kicked the rapier off and stepped on Valena's hand. 

"So, Miss Void. Do... I... Win... Now?" Ryuma looked at her with intimidating eyes. Valena could only look back. She finally had no energy to fight as she was lying her head on the floor. And then she realized there was a presence behind Ryuma. As she looked at presence behind him, she only smiled off and closed her eyes. 

"Mission... completed" Ryuma was confused by what she meant. But he could feel it, thus Ryuma looked behind him and instinctively kicked the 'presence'. Ryuma kicked him with great force, yet the presence didn't move an inch.

"He didn't move?" Ryuma immediately takes a step back. Ryuma took a good look at the presence and was surprised when he found out about the presence's identity. It was a guy in a robe. Was about two meters height. But that is not what Ryuma was paying attention to. A skull mask. And crystallized dark violet eyes. As Ryuma has known his identity, all he can do is only smile. The smile of the helpless person…
