"Rena, you're done?"
"Yes, Onii-chan! Don't forget to free the victim who's still inside your golden flame. I already dispersed my scarlet flame."
"Tch, I didn't forget! You didn't have to tell me!" Runelt sounds a little annoyed.
"WHA--?? I'M JUST TRYING TO BE MINDFUL, YOU HOTHEADED NUMBSKULL!!"
"NO NEED TO RAISE YOUR VOICE! AND DON'T INSULT YOUR BROTHER!"
Runelt and Rena throw banters at each other with their heads pressing against each other's aggressively, as if it's a tug-of-war competition.
"SHORT ON BOTH TEMPER AND HEIGHT!"
"WHA--?? YOU PERFECTIONIST ASSHOLE AND A HEDONIST DUMBASS!"
They both fight each other physically with their fists. It happens for a few minutes. And then they got tired as they sat on the ground.
"*pant pant* You. . . dumb. . . brother!!"
"*pant pant* Why are you. . . so physically strong? What the heck?!"
"Well, maybe you would be stronger if you didn't slack on your exercise for some dumb hedonistic activity!"
"*pant pant* Okay, we need to actually judge them first before they regain consciousness."
"*pant pant* Good idea. . ."
Both of them stand up. Runelt touches the golden fireball, and it gets absorbed into his palm. The bullied victim was revealed, and he is still inside, sitting on the ground.
"What happened?"
"We took care of the problem!" said Runelt.
"You can rest easy!" Rena smiles at him.
"R-Really?"
"Really!" Rena answers with a smile again.
The bullied victim looks around at the condition of his classmates. He saw that every single one of them had a burnt wound.
"Heh. . Heheh. .HAHAHAHAHAHA! SERVES YOU RIGHT! YOU ASSHOLES KEEP BULLYING ME FOR NO REASON! KARMA IS A BITCH, YOU ASSHOLES! I HOPE YOU ALL---"
*BAAAM*
Runelt immediately punches his head while he's still talking. The victim's head falls and hits the ground as he also faints.
"Onii-chan, we need to take care of that."
"Right."
Runelt opens his palm and summons the Sword of Purification.
"No matter the circumstances, hate is just negativity. We'll rid it of him."
He stabs the bullied victim with the Sword of Purification on his chest.
"Rena, prepare yourself!"
Rena gulps.
"Yes!"
The Sword of Purification turns black, and Runelt pulls it out of the victim's chest.
"Here we go!"
Runelt warns Rena and he stabs himself in the chest with the blackened Sword of Purification. The hateful memories of the victim being bullied rush to Runelt and Rena's heads.
.
.
.
Why am I being targeted?
I'm just minding my own business.
What I am doing is of no concern to them anyway.
I'm being picked on again today.
I can never escape this, can I?
They humiliated me. I hate them!
I hate them! What is their problem?
I HATE THEM! I HOPE THEY ALL DIE!
I HATE THEM! THEY'LL GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!
WHY ISN'T ANYONE HELPING ME? SO, IS IT REALLY OKAY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME?
I HATE THEM!
I HATE THEM!
I HATE THEM!
IF I CAN SOMEHOW TRICK THEM INTO FALLING INTO MY TRAP, I CAN EASILY MURDER THEM!
My plan failed. They caught me red-handed. Today I will probably die.
It's okay. No one cares anyway. Not even my parents.
They're too busy making money.
I'm of no concern to them.
I want to die.
I no longer have any desire to live.
Please just kill me.
I'm tired of living like this.
I had enough!
No matter how much I beg them, they won't stop!
I hate them.
.
.
.
". . .Onii-chan. . ."
"Yes, please do that!"
Rena takes a pose to pray.
"Memory Link!"
Rena's chest began to glow and seven white lights shoot out towards seven different directions. Each white light goes towards every single one of the bullies that are lying on the ground.
This is another ability of the Support. A Support can establish an emotional connection to everyone within a certain radius near them. Once established, the Support can transfer a specific memory or emotion towards every single person that has been connected with them through the link.
Rena chooses the bullied victim's memories and transfers them to all of the bullies. The white lights disperse and fade away when Rena stops the link.
"I'm done!"
"Okay, my turn."
Runelt approaches the bullied victim and squats. He puts his hand on the victim's head, and starts praying. His body is engulfed by a pure white aura, and it slowly engulfs the victim's body as well.
"Amen."
Runelt ends his prayer, and the white aura on their body fades away.
"Do we wait from a distance? Or should we just leave them be?"
"Let's leave! They'll have their moments."
"Alright! Good job, Onii-chan!" said Rena as she readied her hand to high-five his brother.
"You too, Rena!" said Runelt as he high-fived Rena.
Suddenly, Runelt's phone rings.
"Hm? What is this?"
"What? What?"
"OH YES! The stuff I ordered arrived!"
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
"GEH? You bought yet more unimportant stuff?"
"How rude! I do need this item!"
"WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH ANOTHER FREAKING TOY GUN? YOU HAVE 50 OF THEM ALREADY! THEY CAN'T EVEN FIT IN YOUR ROOM ANYMORE, AND A FEW OF THEM HAVE SUDDENLY APPEARED ON MINE!"
"Don't be so stingy! You know I love them guns! I wanna collect them all!"
"Your obsession is really scaring me. Please use your money for better purposes."
"There are no better purposes of money if it's not for one's satisfaction!"
"Haaaaaaaaaaa~ Okay, I give up! I don't wanna argue with you. Let's just leave!"
"Should've said that sooner!"
Runelt's back transforms, and a fiery pair of wings grows.
"Let's go!" said Runelt as he offered his younger stepsister to be carried in his arms.
Rena hops on his arms, and Runelt flaps his wings twice, and they leave the area.
.
.
.
A few minutes later, the students are waking up one by one. The bullied victim wakes up last.
". . . .uuhh."
The victim gets up and sits on the ground. He immediately noticed something. All of his classmates that were bullying him are now sitting in front of him, lining up side by side.
"Huh?"
"We. . . WE'RE SORRY!!" said all of the students at the same time.
All of his classmates are bowing their heads to the ground and asking for forgiveness.
"What?"
"For some reason, we experience your experiences in a dream. We went through the same thing that you did. We got treated the same way you got treated by us." said one of the male students.
"You what?"
"We will stop! We won't touch you anymore! We'll stay away from you!" said one of the girls.
"We'll also delete every single picture that we ever took. We'll delete all of the pictures that got uploaded online! We'll also make a statement on our social media accounts."
The victim stays silent.
"It's okay! You don't have to say anything. We understand how you're feeling. To be honest, I'm also mentally drained after experiencing your nightmare. We'll stay away from you."
"We'll also make sure that if there's someone else who tried to pick on you, we'll teach them a lesson! We'll protect you without you ever needing to know! This is our payback! It's okay if you don't forgive us."
"Then leave!" the victim replied.
All of the students stand up.
"Yes. Once again, WE ARE SORRY! FOR EVERYTHING!"
All of the students leave the victim alone.
. . . .
"It's strange. For some reason, I don't hate them as much as I should."
The victim also leaves the woods and goes back to school.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world. . .
"Is it still not our turn yet?"
"No. . ."
"When will it be?"
"I don't know."
"I'm tired of waiting."
"Me too."
"Can't I use my time power to skip the lines?"
"No Faith power allowed! This is a good opportunity for you to experience what it feels like living in the real world amongst Non-Believers. They can't use Faith power, so you have to wait in line just like everybody else!"
"But, I don't like waiting!"
"Me neither, but you don't see me complaining."
"Grrrrr! I can't stand this!"
"Lily! Calm down!"
Light and Lily are currently sitting in a waiting lounge. They are inside a government building where identity cards can be officially forged. There are a lot of people inside the waiting lounge; it's almost crowded.
"I'm already skipping on my second day on the job!"
"Well, an ID's important. The manager will understand."
"What do I do if they recognize me as the Queen of Time?"
"I doubt that. You are an assassin from the underworld; I doubt the public even knows your real identity."
"Well, that is somewhat true. . . BUT STILL--!"
"Lily, you're worrying too much. Calm down!"
"Light-kun! If my identity is revealed, I can't even do the Judge stuff properly! The government will show my face everywhere! People will recognize me and run away! I won't be able to help people properly! Not to mention this is basically giving my information to the government."
"That's why it's best to act as if you're just some random girl so they won't have any suspicion. Besides, even if your face and fingerprint are recognized, they can't confirm anything since you don't leave any fingerprints on your past life. You weren't that careless, were you?"
"Y-You're right. . . Okay, I'll stop. . ." Lily mellows down and puckers her cheeks.
"That is so cute!" Light pats Lily's head.
"S-Stop that!" Lily is embarrassed and tries to hide it by pushing Light's hand away.
*BEEP BEEP*
"NUMBER 496!"
"That's your number! Go!"
"O-Okay. . ."
"Lily, don't forget! Don't tell them what your real Faith power is! Fake it out as much as you can!"
"Okay! Wait, what about you? What did the ID say about your Faith power?"
"Black armor, transformation type. I only showcase how my Faith power protects me from physical attacks and nothing else. Now go!"
"Hmm, okay, I understand."
Lily leaves the waiting lounge, and she goes in by herself.
"(This shouldn't take long. . . Oh, right!)"
Light pulls out his smartphone from his pocket, and sends a message to someone.
.
.
.
On the other side of the world . . .
Runelt is in the middle of fighting a Believer in a back alley while Rena is watching. They are currently above an apartment's rooftop. The buildings all over the town they're in are of similar heights, and the gaps between them are close. The man stands on a different rooftop than them.
"Ahahahaha! How lucky I am! I got to meet the famous Twin Inferno myself! It's a pleasure!"
"Who are you?"
"My name is—"
The man continues his long introduction while Runelt's phone rings once.
"Nii-chan, I think you got a message!"
"I know! You don't have to warn me about every single thing!"
"Like I said, I'm only trying to be nice!"
"You don't have to be nice over trivial matters!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"YOU'RE WORRYING TOO MUCH OVER PETTY MATTERS!"
Runelt and Rena are shouting and arguing at each other again.
"Hold on, I should check my phone really quick."
Runelt pulls out his smartphone.
"Woah! It's a message from Light!"
"FOR REAL?" Rena suddenly tenses up.
"W-What's with you? Do you like him or something?"
"N-NO! It's my other older brother!"
Runelt glances over at his phone.
"Eeeeh?"
"What does it say?"
"It says, 'I want to introduce someone. Let's meet up after lunch break today! I also have something important to discuss.' That's all."
"Light-nii-san is introducing someone? Who might it be? He's an ultimate loner!" said Rena with a pitiful expression.
"Now that you mention it, you are right. . ." said Runelt with the same expression.
"OII, HOW LONG ARE YOU TWO GOING TO IGNORE ME??"
Suddenly the man that picked a fight with them shouts.
"Woah, we made him angry."
"We better finish this quick! What was his Faith power again?"
"You two. . . I'VE BEEN ATTACKING YOU A LOT, AND YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBER MY FAITH POWER? FINE!"
The man goes into a stance. He lifts his palm and aims it open towards Runelt and Rena.
"PAPER STORM!"
. . . .
"Uuuuhh, nii-chan, this man really just challenged fire elemental Believers with paper power. . ."
"Rena, you do the rest. I'm not in the mood."
"Sigh, fine!"
Rena erected a wall of scarlet flame in front of her and burned all of the paper coming at them. The wall of the scarlet flame changes shape into small doves as per Rena's will. There is an army of scarlet flame doves in Rena's arsenal now.
"This isn't much of a fight, but I at least wanna thank you for your bravery for challenging us with such a disadvantage! I praise you!"
Rena then sends out her army of fiery doves towards the man.
"The Twin Inferno underestimates their opponents. What a good discovery to stumble upon!"
The man erected a wall made out of two giant papers. The army of scarlet doves couldn't pierce through the wall of paper, and each of them went out without a trace.
"Huh?"
Rena noticed that the wall of paper was wet. Suddenly, there is a burst of big papers scattering to the wind from behind the wall of paper.
"WHAT THE-??"
Runelt and Rena are now trapped inside a cage of floating papers.
"My victoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!"
The floating papers around them then rotate at high speed, becoming deadly buzzsaws made of paper. The rotating papers launched towards the two of them in the middle.
"Uuuh, nii-chan!"
Suddenly all of the rotating giant papers were blown away by a very powerful wind in all directions.
"W-WHAT IS THIS?"
The man saw a giant, fiery, golden wing. Runelt used his Faith power.
"You know, thinking that your victory is certain just because you think you caught us off guard is incredibly arrogant. I detected your arrogance, see?"
"You what?"
Runelt flies over towards the man.
"Well, my sister was right. You did have the balls to challenge us even with such a disadvantage. I'll pay my respects!"
He transforms his right leg into a flaming talon.
*BAM*
"UUUUUUURRGGHHH!!!"
Runelt kicks the man right in his chest, and he was sent flying over a distance. When the man was above the gap between rooftops, Runelt flew in and arrived quickly.
"Make a paper cushion underneath because you're going to need it!!"
*BAAAM*
“UAAARRGHH!!”
Runelt kicks the man again, downwards this time, with his flaming talon. The man was launched downwards at high speed.
"Aaaah, I kicked him too hard!"
Down on the alley between buildings, Runelt didn't see any paper cushion. The man fainted from his kick. It's going to kill him if he lands right on the ground. Runelt rushes downwards and catches the man just 3cm away from hitting the ground.
"Pheeew! I almost tainted the reputation of the Judges."
He successfully caught the Believer and put him down safely.
"Nii-chan!"
Rena jumps down from above. She shoots scarlet flame from her hands to slow her fall.
"Woop!"
She landed safely, but then she immediately pulled her brother's collar.
"OIII STUPID BROTHER, YOU ALMOST KILLED SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT A LITTLE EXCITED!!"
"SHUT UP! I DIDN'T IN THE END! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CRIED AND SAID 'nii-chaaaaaaaan', HAHAHAHA!"
"T-T-T-THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID, YOU STUPID BROTHER!! IF THIS THING HAPPENS AGAIN, I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR BONES!!"
"Oh, yeah?? Good luck with that!"
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, NII-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!"
"DON'T SHOUT! HURTS! EAR!"
They continue to fight inside a dark alley, shouting and punching each other furiously.
.
.
.
Meanwhile. . .
Inside the interview room for the ID card making process.
"Aiha-san, you can sit in the chair."
"Yes."
Lily takes a seat inside the room. The room is divided by a glass window and a long wooden shelf, dividing the size of the room unevenly. The glass window has a small hole so voices can go through. There's a lady wearing a formal uniform on the other side of the glass window.
"You are Liliana Aiha-san, correct?"
"Yes, I am indeed, Liliana Aiha."
"Okay, when is your birthday?"
". . ."
"(LIGHT-KUUUN!! I DON'T KNOW MY BIRTHDAY!!!)"
Lily panics, but she hides it pretty well on the outside.
"(THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND QUESTION AND I'M ALREADY FAILING!)"
"(UUuuhhh, UUUUHHHHHH. . . I KNOW!)"
Lily stops time, and immediately left the room and came back inside. She breaks her time stop.
"6 September!"
"(Phew! Good thing Light-kun is immune to my time stop!)"
"Alright, where do you currently live?"
"(LIGHT-KUUUUUUUUUNN!!! HOW DO I EVEN ANSWER THIS?)"
Lily stops time yet again, and leaves the room for the second time and comes back inside again. She breaks the time stop again.
Lily utters her address with confidence.
"Good, now who do you live with? Do you have any family? Any relatives?"
Lily stopped time for another time, left the room, and came back inside quickly. She breaks the time stop again.
Lily gives her answer as per Light's words. For the next few questions, she kept doing the same thing over and over again until she was almost done with the questions.
*pant pant pant*
"W-What's wrong, Aiha-san?"
"N-No problem. . . Just mental exhaustion. . ."
"(Were the questions too much? They were all normal questions, though. . .)" wonders the lady.
"(*pant pant* I feel like a criminal trying to get a new life, hiding from the governments, and lying right in front of their faces. Though, technically, that is not entirely wrong either. . .)"
"O-Okay, now is the last question. What is your Faith power?)"
*!*
"(This. . . I can actually answer this myself!)"
"My Faith power is Fast Calculation. My brain is able to calculate at a much higher speed than ordinary people. It's a Special type Faith power."
"Okay, we need some kind of documentation. We'll give you a long equation, and we'll record it. After a countdown of three, you can start using your Faith power."
"Understood!"
"One, Two, THREE!"
"15+536-216*-151+161-1613+1631*2*156-136*1/2+12526-0-263"
"The answer is 552782!"
"T-That is correct! Alright, we'll print your ID in a sec!"
.
.
.
One minute later. . .
"Light-kun! I'm done with the ID; let's go! Hmm? What's with you?"
"For some reason, I feel irritated out of nowhere!"
"Never mind that, let's go!"
"Yes, yes!"
Light and Lily leave and head out to do their judgment.
