Story of The Chosen One

The school bell finally rang at 1:30 PM, meaning that this boring school day already finish. All students seem happy to get back home.

"Well. . . Good for them I guess. . . I don't even have an animal pet to greet me at home." I murmur to myself calmly while rubbing my sleepy eyes.

For the entire time, I almost fall asleep thanks to those boring classes, so now I'm tired as hell now.

Finally. . . This day end, god please make my footsteps faster. . . I want to sleep already

Just when I was about to see the school gate like it's a gate to heaven, I manage to catch a sound.

A sound that feels like something flying towards here.

Where with each seconds, it feels like the very movements of its body parts disturb the very movements of air

And whatever it is, it didn't comes alone

Suddenly, in instant I saw few students get burned to crisp by some fire breath from huge dark red flying creatures that makes all of them manage to let out a scream that sounds distorted before they died. Probably because their voice box being burned right now

"AAAAAAA---AAAAAAA---AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! "

This is also another reasons why I hate school so goddamn much, because of the possibility this creature will attack this school.

The fallen angels who's being cursed by gods. . .

. . . Demons, wow, what a great to end this fucking day. . .

The school suddenly fill with screams and footsteps of heavy run. Meanwhile, I'm here just walk while get pushed by them. It's not like I had power in my arsenal that I can use to fight, hide or run anyway. I see some of them try to teleport away to school gate, but as just they get near school gate, their head get ripped off by several other demons. This is why I don't rush out from school, I already expected this.

Just like I thought, no way I can get out of this situation that easily. . .

Just then, a demon in the sky breathe fireball from its mouth to try kill several students including me, but just a moment the fireball about to hit us, I feel a disturbance in the air before a man that just one year older than me quickly rush to me and others student and save us from the fireball.

"Dude, seriously? One second late and you got all of us kill. Can you be a little more quick next time with your super speed?"

"Shut up man. You should be grateful to me instead of complaining. One thank you is good enough, and it's your fault you just stand there like an idiot in the first place."

Well, as you can see, we had some siblings argument even though we aren't blood related. His name is Adam. I meet him 4 years after my parents incident. So I really see him as my older brother

"Oh yeah Dani, you own me lunch for this alright? "

". . . Fine, just come to my house for ramen"

Although he is a bit annoying, but he's the one who cared about my well-being, and he is one of 'them'. One of my childhoods friends that cares about me since child, also one of the heroes I really see as one.

"Well, now that you're here. . . Can you can beat all of those-"

Just when I was about to ask him to deal with the demons, I already see a figure of him blurred out in my visible eyes that start to give uppercut to first three demons in 3 seconds, kicks another 3 demons in 10 seconds that enough to shake my school buildings, and how he trick the rest 4 of the demons to hit each other with their own hellfire balls spell with his super speed in 16 seconds.

Honestly,that last moment make me think that he just trolled the last four demons just for shit and giggle

A second later, I already see him stepping on top of the last demon while all of those dead demons start dispersing into dust.

Maybe it's not that impressive for him, but it's impressive for everyone because he defeated all 10 demons in just 30 seconds.

Well, not for me. . . I already expected this.

"Huh, What did you say? If you talk about me taking care of these demons, I already did." He said while wiping any trace of those demons blood off his face

". . . Of course you are. Sorry for even asking that dumb question."

The moment seems to be stand still for a moment before everyone comes out from their hiding place with each faces shows shock or gratitude, the others were either terrified they might had developed PTSD

After that, all students, teachers and even the guards who didn't piss themselves there crowd him and show them their gesture of thanks.

"Thanks Adam! You save our lives! " Few of the girls students there fangirling over him at the same time

"I heard he's too fast, this motherfucker could jiggle missiles! "

"Nah you're lying, that's tuff bro"

"That's what I'm saying cuh! "

Another few boys students whisper in amazement with others look at him with amazement

But, one thing that no one seems to care about is those students that had being killed by the demons earlier. And it seems like it just me who notice them.

"Oh wait. . . Is she still alive? " I said to myself calmly after seeing one of the girls finger start twitching, only for me to deduce later that it's just nerves memories

". . . Too bad, you're a really nice senior, this kind of death didn't suit you"

I never held any grudge or envy in my heart about Adam or any of my childhood friends. I adore them instead cause they doing this without need of getting paid with money or need to increase their popularity, but those death could be prevented if he arrive more early. . .

"Oh well, shit happens in this dark fantasy genre." I murmur to myself softly while standing between the corpses

He then approach me after the crowd seems more calm while he walk past those corpses respectfully and ask me calmly. I swear he really talk like a big brother despite he wasn't one.

"Hey man, you good?"

". . . Yeah, I'm fine."

Adam looked at me deeply before asked me in his own curious tone

". . . You mourning about their death?"

". . . No, just feel bad for their parents. . . "

". . .Damn it, I already hate myself for even imagining it. . ."

"I'm more worried that they can't recognize their children face any longer. Some is now beheaded, some are burned to fuck"

He then look down and sigh in regret, I could tell that he already regretting that he did ot come here sooner.

"I should had come here sooner. I-"

"Hey. . . It's not your fault buddy, you did your best. Besides, no one can blame you for this, you aren't here for all 24 hours, 1440 minutes and 86400 seconds. No one even expect this event to happen anyway. Don't be too harsh on yourself. . ."

There's a moment of silence before then he start cracking joke to lower down the tense.

"Damn you, this is serious moment right now you know? " He said while rubbed back of his head

"So? You expect me to just let you beat yourself in guilt? Like in hell I will"

". . . You sound like a real nerd when you literally recite the numbers earlier. Man, are you even human to remember exact time of 1 day?? "

"I am, trust me, my blood is red."

"That alone isn't enough to convince me man. . . You know that we literally had humanoid robots now. . . "

He then chuckles slightly at his own statement. Honestly, he spit out some good point there. Who even remembered all that details anyway.

"Want to play video game later? I want to make the feeling of guilty ease. . . Even just for a little bit" Adam said softly to me, hoping I would agree

". . . Sure. But you need to comfort the parents first. Do what you gotta do first. That's your responsibility after all"

"I know. . . I hope they can forgive me for this. "

I tap his shoulder few times trying to reassure him. I know this isn't easy for him, but this is what make me really see him as hero.

He really care about people life's, he feel regret if he knows those deaths can be prevent if he arrive sooner, unlike some hypocrites heroes out there who cares about fame only

"Oh well, if they didn't forgive you. . . I will"
