They arrived in front of a palace. A very Edo-period palace but,there were no guards in sight.
"Oi Tomoe." said Monzu.
"Is something wrong,Monzu?" replied Tomoe.
"Where's Wrath?"
"He should be at the top there. Be prepared to be surprise though,he's like Meliodas from Seven Sins."
"Friendly?" asked Otome.
"No. He isn't wrathful at all."
"Well,no matter what we just have to kill him right?" asked Monzu.
"Yeah. Though I don't really think you guys can do that when we've been surrounded."
"WHAT?!" the entire class screamed in unison.
Tomoe was right. They were completely surrounded. By... 'mature' women.
"Kurogame,you mentioned Obake earlier."
"I didn't. You misheard me."
"These are Obake."
"LISTEN TO ME!"
"What are Obake?" asked Otome.
"Well,it just means ghost on its own but I think this is a yokai rather than a regular ghost,right?" Feta looked at Tomoe and he nodded. "It's a shape-shifter that eats humans."
The Obake started jumping at them during their conversation. "Thanks Ms Exposition. Though it's strange."
"What is? Don't all yokai eat humans?" asked Futaba shooting down a mob of them.
"Well,Obake are more cunning and could wait years to strike a single family."
"I have a hard time believing that,look with your eyes at what they're doing!" shouted Butei.
"That's why I said it's strange. Let's just run to the palace."
Everyone at first agreed except for one person. And they all stopped in their tracks when they heard a certain,distinct voice. "I refuse." said Kurogame.
"What are you talking about Kurogame? Let's just go." said Shuichiro
"I refuse!" He then started laughing and ran into the mob. Slashing them down one by one with his dual-knives. Cutting them open and letting them disappear.
"It can't be helped." said Ao taking out his canvas. He quickly made a drawing of a hoard of Obake and got a brush with red paint. He did a violent stroke across their necks and suddenly the necks of the actual Obake cut open."
"How did you-" Futaba was interrupted by Kurogame yelling at Ao about kill-stealing.
"He used Air magic and connected it to the canvas with Pure magic. That's why it looked invisible."
They ran up the stairs to the palace. Even with them running it still took them more than 10 minutes to get to the top. When they got there,they saw a big red gate and a man across an extremely long path inside praying. He then turned around to them and asked, "Is something wrong? Dear travelers."
The man was slim and tall,his hair was black.He had white eyes and it seemed he was blind. He wore a jet-black robe and geta. Other than that,he was naked. There was also a weird smell coming from where he was sitting but he was so far,they didn't notice.
"Hi,Nata."
"Tomoe...How many times have I told you not to call me that?"
"Heh,sorry about that. Now,mind if you stop corrupting people. You even corrupted my little Kurogame."
"Is that why he wanted to fight so badly?" asked Futaba.
"You know I can't control that." said the man bent down on the ground on the ground looking for something.
"Hey Teacher Tomo,is this?" asked Otome.
"Yeah, This is Wrath,the whose name is way too long and smiles creepily."
"That kinda hurts. I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself," he said standing normally while holding a pebble. "I'm Sirius Arragon Tyrant Aligor Nata. Oh,but call me Arragon."
"Nata sounds a bit girly,doesn't it?" asked Feta.
"I guess."
After hearing those words,they felt a heavy weight on them. It felt as though it was crushing them.It was so heavy that they couldn't get off of the ground. They were practically planking. They could all tell that this was from Arragon's magic and when they looked up they saw Tomoe and Arragon still standing.
Everyone was starting to feel as though they'd puke. Otome kept looking up and he saw that Arragon suddenly got a cut on his shoulder and his smile was ruined for a second before smiling again.
The weight was removed and they all jumped up and got in a fighting stance.
"You sure you want to do this,youngsters? You haven't even beat any of the others ye-"
"So what? We'll prove to you how strong we are."
"Ah,so you must have been the Kurogame who was affected."
Kurogame ran at him with full force. They didn't notice until now but they were quite far away from each other. To be exact,5 kilometres away from each other. Despite that,Kurogame had already ran past the first kilometre in 2 minutes and was about to reach him soon. Tomoe was shouting at Kurogame to come back.
He started throwing knives at Arragon but he dodged all of them. Kurogame was picking up more and more speed and threw more knives at a quicker pace while getting closer to Arragon. When he got past the second km a bunch of yokai jumped out of nowhere. He killed them all immediately though.
A few people were following behind Kurogame but none of them were fast enough to catch up to him. He had already got to the 3rd km but ran out of knives to throw. He threw one of his regular knives at him but it was dodged. He only had one knife left.
A bunch of people were behind him now,some close others still at the first km. The smell of death got stronger.He could tell that this was from Arragon. His aura,his smell,and even his eyes,everything about him was terrifying. He was intimidated but still ran as quickly as he could. Kurogame had finally reached the 4th km. Most people stopped but Kurogame slowed down when Arragon started talking.
"You're all too weak. All I need is this pebble to beat you."
"SHUT UP!" said Kurogame. "You just don't know our full power yet."
They saw a familiar blue light cover the pebble and after a second it looked normal again. He then threw it. The pebble moved extremely fast. No one even saw it. Despite that,they felt all of it. The wind around them turned into whirlwinds cutting them. The sheer force of it sent everyone flying back.
Shuichiro,while getting blown back,looked behind him and saw that the pebble was still flying. The shock wave from it had tore up the road and the buildings were collapsing. Everyone was sent flying in that direction.
The pebble after a while had finally reached a building. They saw the building explode from just the impact of the building. A few of it them had fainted and the ones who hadn't yet would faint later since the cuts and bruises they got from the pebble was causing them to have anemia. Excessive blood loss.
The fight had ended in failure,and for now,they have no idea for what happened to Tomoe.
6th Sin. Kyoto's Destructive Priest. Sirius Arragon Tyrant Aligor Nata.
The fight against Wrath ends with:Extreme loss. Loss of blood and several broken bones.
Everyone will be hospitalized.
