[Mesut Forest outside the capital Iskander]

[00:30 PM,] [05/09/317 D]

[inxtine flower field]

Footsteps are heard approaching where the lady and the young woman were, attracting the attention of the lady who directs her words to the person who comes out of the shadows. This was an elegant man who wore a mask on his face.

----Lady of the forest— Harlequín, the time I asked for has not passed yet, is there a problem?

The man was carrying Kaki, who was unconscious, in his arms. He snorts and takes another breath before beginning to explain the situation.

After explaining the situation, the lady smiles mockingly at the man.

----Lady of the forest— You're saying that a young girl was able to take on the great Harlequin knight Brighella.

Harlequin smiled with a sneer in response to the lady's mockery.

----Arlequín Brighella— Don't be ridiculous, my lady, it was you who asked me not to kill anyone other than that boy, who was a danger to us, but leaving that aside, this girl I found passed out in the forest, who is she?

The lady looks at the girl in Harlequin's arms, and returns her attention to the young woman in her lap.

----Lady of the forest— She is my son's girlfriend, I couldn't harm her and she is not the type of person you can talk to easily, so I implanted some sleeping spores, I had to use a strong dose, she has incredible resistance.

A big smile appeared on Harlequin's face when he heard her.

----Arlequín Brighella— The lady couldn't hurt her son's girlfriend so that he could give her grandchildren *jsjsjs*

----Lady of the forest— *Hpmh* What nonsense you are saying, I just put her to sleep, will we need her in the future Tell me, do you know about the genius daughter of the supreme demon ruler?

Harlequin changed his smile to an expression of confusion at the lady's question.

----Arlequín Brighella— hmmm… if I remember her name correctly, it was Alice, right?

----Lady of the forest— that's the youngest daughter, who I'm talking about is the firstborn, Princess Amy Dark.

Harlequin's expression immediately changed upon hearing that name, his dark aura began to well up from him before he realized it, to which the lady ordered him to control himself.

----Lady of the forest— I understand your discontent, that girl has the same ability of eternal demonic ice, which sealed our lord, and it just so happens that that human that you have in your arms also has a similar ability, inferior to being a human, but equally useful for our purpose.

----Arlequín Brighella— I understand, and what will you do with your daughter and your son, we only have to break one of their nine seals.

The lady watched the young woman in her lap, while she placed her hand on her chest, reciting a spell.

----Lady of the forest— For now, I will only give them the possibility that both of them can communicate with each other, breaking the seal on her chest.

The lady's look was full of guilt and sadness, she knew in advance what was coming to the life of her little ones.

Still, she gently moved away from the young woman and stood, looking at Harlequin and returning her gaze to the young woman on the flower-strewn ground.

----Lady of the forest— As soon as you wake up, pain will await you for which I will never forgive myself, but never forget who you are, Taisei, Arlet, I love you...

Harlequin, with khaki in his arms, and the lady vanished after those words, leaving young Arlet alone, with a mask next to her.

[Mesut Forest outside the capital Iskander]

[Abandoned Castle]

----Gentleman Officer remove the body carefully.

The morning had arrived, the sun's rays hit the castle, the night of terror was finally over.

The lifeless body of young Yoghito Airi had been transported by the official knights of the kingdom. This incident claimed one victim and three others in a state of shock.

----Rookie Knight The fight must have been very hard, to leave the entire place in this state.

The castle, previously intact, was destroyed; he was barely still standing. The walls were shattered, and the ground was filled with craters.

----Gentleman Officer Nah, that was young Scarleth's doing, according to one of the witnesses, the fight couldn't even be called a fight, the golem had no chance against her, it was just pure brutality from that young Scarleth. *Sigh*, today's young people have a strong character.

She found Taisei hours after the incident, in a field of inxtine flowers next to the mask that witnesses previously described; However, having no way to explain what happened, he was accused of the murder, all blame falling on him.

[07:20 AM, 08/09/317 D]

[West residential area of ​​the capital Iskander]

[Genpou Residence]

My father was pulling my arm down the stairs, he had no intention of listening to me, we crossed the main living room until we reached the entrance and he let me go once we were outside the house.

----Reporter— The old castle incident that took the life of a young man from the respectable Airi family, was finally closed today with the incarceration in the Resonant Youth Detention Center, sentencing the main suspect Taisei Genpou to life.

He tried to explain to Father that he didn't remember anything that happened there and that I just woke up in that field of flowers.

Of course he didn't believe me, he made it known to everyone that I am actually adopted and that I have no direct connection with the Genpou family.

----Toru Genpou— You are not my son…

 

Those were the only words he dedicated to me

 

----Taisei Genpou— It's true, I'm nobody...

 

There was nothing to do, everything had already been said. Chial tried to convince the father not to let them take me, Kai, Yusuke and Akina told me that they would never forgive me for not being there with them, the school treated me like a murderer and expelled me. Kaki... her father is looking for her, but there is no trace of her, however, I... I was just burdened with all the guilt and locked up for life... I lost my best friend and my entire life from one day to the next...

But at that moment when I was being dragged towards the vehicle that would take me to my destination, some people stood up in my name.

 

----Yuzuki Genpou— Excuse me Mr. Toru, we will accompany the young master.

Yuzuki, and my group of servants whom I consider my family.

However, my father would not allow them to do such a thing.

 

----Toru Genpou— None of you are allowed to leave this house.

 

It was Tsubasa who spoke on behalf of everyone to confront my father.

 

----Tsubasa— With all due respect, at no time do we submit to you or your family, we only follow the young master, not you.

 

----Toru Genpou– Insolent thing you just said to your master.

Irritated, my father tried to slap Tsubasa, so I held his wrist tightly.

----Taisei Genpou— Make no mistake father, no, I am not your son, you said it, you are no one to hit my people...

Our eyes met and a slight grimace of pain appeared and disappeared from Toru's face, to which decided to back away.

With his order, the knights who were waiting for me put their sealing shackles on my wrists.

We boarded the transport of the holding center where they would lock me up, Tsubasa and the others came with me.

Obviously they were not condemned, but they decided to move to a nearby residence, to be able to be present at all times, they trusted that he would get out of that place.

This is how my life with the surname Genpou unjustly came to an end...

[05:00 AM, 03/02/318 D]

[D.4 M.S.O Special Hospital of the capital Iskander]

[H.15 Arlet Blue]

An abundantly white room that is almost disgusting, there is not much more than the sound of the machines next to me, the light coming through the window and an old fan on the ceiling, there is a soft sound that can be heard, It's a little hard for me to distinguish it, but this one comes from the TV. On the news channel.

My concentration is interrupted when I hear knocks coming from the door and a voice that can be heard faintly on the other side.

----¿? — This girl is still sleeping.

 

On the other side of the door, coming from the hallway, is a young nurse.

The young woman knocks a second time without any response, in which she hears the door to the room open, the one who was knocking proceeds to enter the room, losing all hope of receiving an answer.

 

----¿? — (She has no intention of waking up today)

 

The young nurse, seeing no response from the girl in bed, places the cleaning supplies she was carrying aside in the room and continues to wake her up, approaching her and taking her by the shoulders and then shaking her from side to side.

 

----¿? — Wake up!!

As if it were shaking a soda can, I feel my body being shaken.

 

----Arlet Blue— I feel like my brain has been liquefied… good morning Liz.

 

----Liz Albert— Good morning Arlet, You should wake up earlier, I was calling you and you didn't answer, I also remind you that you have to attend the establishment's activities.

 

----Arlet Blue— excuse me.

 

I look at the TV. After I apologize, and I look at the time on it, (As if waking up at 05:00 AM. It's not early enough).

 

----Liz Albert— it's okay to sleep, but always remember to wake up 04:30 AM. If you don't want to be treated like a soda.

Reluctant at the idea, I lazily get up from my bed and proceed to dress in the facility's uniform. In what I talk to Liz.

 

----Arlet Blue— It wouldn't be difficult for me to get up at that time, but you were the one who told Taisei that she could rest as much as she wants.

 

----Liz Albert— This is this and that is that, Tai's activities, they do not involve you. But I guess it's okay, I'll keep shaking you in the mornings

 

Liz smiles as she makes the bed and begins to clean the room, she seems happy as always, my uniform from the resonant holding establishment is quite simple, a dark jacket with gold details and a white skirt with gold stripes, it is not much different from the typical uniform of some academy, when I finish dressing I take a seat in an armchair with a view of the patio that can be seen through the window. While Liz finishes doing her work.

 

----Arlet Blue— I'm ready.

Liz looks at me after listening to me and takes a brush for my hair.

 

----Liz Albert— she has beautiful hair that will be ruined if she is not more careful during training.

 

----Arlet Blue— (Liz says that what I do or what he does does not have to mark the other, since both he and I are completely different, however... Both he and I, there is something that binds us.)

 

----Liz Albert— You seem distracted today, how is he? Several months have passed since that.

 

----Arlet Blue— He's fine, he doesn't think about it anymore, he decided to concentrate on fulfilling his duty here and take care of settling those matters once we leave.

 

----Liz Albert— Okay, if that's what he wants, he's done.

Liz expresses a happy and warm smile as she finishes combing my hair and continues to leave the room, but before completely leaving the room, she stops.

 

----Liz Albert— You are both very special, you carry a weight that only you can carry, but I trusted you, and who knows, maybe the day you leave will be sooner rather than later.

 

Liz disappears down the hallway, leaving those words with a mocking laugh.

 

----Arlet Blue— (The morning is as fresh as ever, the station simulators in my room are still working well... It's time to go to breakfast.)

 

The extensive corridors of the hospital were quiet, everyone was already going about their daily activities, the exaggerated white of the walls, ceilings and doors was a little suffocating for some, which did not mean that it was not at all for me, so much white It has already come to disgust me. Despite being such a pure color, it is really dirty, I don't think there is any inmate in this place who doesn't think that...

[05:20 AM, 03/02/318 D]

[D.4 MSO Special Hospital of the capital Iskander]

[cafeteria]

The hospital cafeteria is always very active in the morning, with the young inmates having breakfast and talking among themselves. Before joining breakfast, I usually take some flowers from the garden outside the cafeteria and take them to room 14, the Which is Taisei's room, he doesn't usually think much about those things, but without some color in that room, white is going to disgust him to death...

Arriving inside Taisei's room, I can smell the strong smell of blood coming from that exact spot on the wall, some shackles and chains, where Taisei was tortured for the first 3 weeks without a break. The shackles and chains are kept here as a souvenir. The time they released him, it was because he could no longer bear the damage they were doing to him. I took control of the body and took the lives of those doctors. I have since been able to communicate with him, but he seems to have lost interest in others as he only communicates with me and a limited group of people.

----Arlet Blue— That bloody image of you with your legs and arms destroyed, your fingers scattered on the floor, I will never forget, as soon as you decide that it is time to leave this place, I will be the one in charge of ending the life of those who caused this.

I left the room after leaving the flowers.

[10:30 AM, 02/05/318 D]

[D.4 MSO Special Hospital of the capital Iskander]

[Classroom]

The morning usually goes by quickly, it's not that there are many things to do at the end of the day, in general we inmates usually spend our time talking or training, we don't have access to technology to communicate with the outside world, but life inside the institution is not so bad, apart from the lack of ingenuity when decorating the rooms or its limited color palette, it could be said that we live in peace in this place.

----Arlet Blue— Agneta had to be used as a guinea pig today, right?

----Adolfina Erisoire— Yes, it's my turn tomorrow with Adalgi, although we don't have many things to do here either, it's the most interesting thing all day.

----Adalgisa de Adalia— I'm not surprised, after all, we are in a center for young offenders. It is normal that we do not have many things to do.

The conversation is interrupted by the teacher, who called us to attention.

----Teacher— Attention everyone. In the next 2 days, there will be duels with classmates from other classes in the facility. This is carried out for research use. I hope they can control their skills well and not get out of control like last week. For those who are warrior and non-magical types, I'm just going to ask you to try not to kill your opponent. Last week we had a death rate of 32 inmates. I know you are here for actions like that, but try to control yourself, you can kill each other later. That's it, you can retire to your lunch and enjoy your day.

----Adolfina Erisoire— If you leave aside the fact that it is a detention facility, you can get used to this place.

Adolfina exclaimed, as she leaned back on her desk.

----Adalgisa de Adalia— It's true. 3 of those deaths were mine.

Said the girl, who was holding a bag of chips in her hand.

----Arlet Blue— You can kill freely in your free time, they are only asking not to kill in practices, because people from other kingdoms come to see the show, they are just trying to pretend.

 

----Adalgisa de Adalia— I only kill them to avoid having to fight for a long time.

 

Well yes, we must not forget that all the inmates of this place are here because they killed someone. There are no minor internal affairs such as assaults, etc.

All the inmates here have at least taken the life of one person, otherwise they would not have ended up in these facilities.

 

----Arlet Blue— Let's go have lunch in the garden, the classroom depresses me.

[12:45 AM, 02/05/318 D]

[D.4 MSO Special Hospital of the capital Iskander]

[Resting yard]

The rest area has a basketball court in the center, a fighting dome, so that the inmates can fight without holding back and killing each other. If they want to, they won't tell you anything for doing it. All the guards and caretakers are very kind to the inmates, but it's not like they care what they do. The main rule of this place is that they are free to do whatever they want in their free time. Your only duty here is to attend your classes, attend the research sessions, and respect the workers there. As long as you do all that, you can do whatever you want to the other inmates.

----Arlet Blue— This place is heaven for sickly people.

----Adolfina Erisoire— Come on, Adalgi, come down from there, I'll give you this package of cookies if you'll forgive me.

You might wonder what the hell is going on, well...

Adalgisa is perched on the branch of one of the trees. Adolfina started to fight with one of the inmates, by accident one of her attacks ended up cutting the bottom of her bag of fried food, everything falling to the floor, which made Adalgi angry and no longer want to talk to her.

----Adalgisa de Adalia— 2 packages and we have a deal.

----Adolfina Erisoire— Are you trying to make me look stupid? Those fries are worth half a package, I'm not going to pay you 4 times the price, you damn scammer!

Adalgisa does not seem to receive those words from Adolfina very well, responding with a serious tone in her voice, a Hecate II also known as FR-12,7. It is a heavy marksman rifle, very standard for the French Army.

It is also Adalgisa's favorite weapon, the barrel of the rifle was right in front of Adolfina's face. Which was completely still right now, with a sheen of sweat on its forehead.

----Adalgisa de Adalia— The 2 packages please, yes?

More like an order than a request, Adalgisa with a threatening smile gets her payment for the problems caused earlier by Adolfina.

Adolfina composes herself after that, taking a seat next to me, she seemed relieved to have gotten out of her deal alive, meanwhile Adalgisa was on the other side of her eating with an innocent smile on her face.

 

----Adalgisa de Adalia— Do you want some, Arlet?

 

Without rejecting Adalgi's offer, he took out some cookies from the package.

You can see the silhouette of a woman crossing the door that leads to the testing room, she had a mature and beautiful face, she was wearing only an exercise top, with her coat tied around her waist, some gym tennis shoes and their leggings. Her well-marked abdomen, covered with scars like her arms, was a beautiful woman with dull red hair, as well as her fiery reddish eyes, with an intimidating aura; the other inmates moved away from her when they saw her. 

----Agneta de Amara— Hey! Girls, I see that young Taisei is not here today, I wanted to fight him again, He's the only one in this place I can fight seriously.

Outside of her intimidating aura, Agneta is very kind to us, and seems to have a great appreciation for Taisei, he is one of the few people she deals with, even if it is only to combat.

----Arlet Blue— *Sigh* well I told you before, we assigned ourselves a day to be awake, it's his turn tomorrow, you can fight him then.

Before continuing, Adolfina interrupts me.

----Adolfina Erisoire— Agneta, how were the experiments this time? I see that you have a new scar on your abdomen.

We look in amazement that Agneta is hurt, to which she just smiled.

----Agneta de Amara— Those scientists are crazy in the head, but they are quite competent. Until now it was necessary to use heavy artillery to damage a resonant or a "Nova", so I always stayed still and received attacks from their creations. This time that thing, if I hadn't moved, would have crossed my abdomen from one side to the other. I can say, without fear of being wrong, that they have created the first weapon capable of being manipulated by a non-resonant person, capable of penetrating the tough skin of the "Novas".

All of us inmates who were in the garden listened attentively to his words, because this meant that, from now on, each test would put his life at stake.

----Agneta de Amara— I know Arlet will be fine, but you two, be careful tomorrow, don't trust yourselves for anything in the world, unless you want to end up dead...

Hey!! We finally begin the first arc of the series, the interns arc, a little advice from Liz; "Rest, brush your teeth and eat delicious"

I hope you like the new cover.
