A Mere Fate Of Mine - Chapter 36

“Takeshi-kun, can we switch our seats?”

Rina asked Takeshi with a bright smile that every man would be in love with. However, Takeshi who was already sweating from sitting next to Lucien felt a chill ran down to his spine.

“A-Alright, Yukihino-san,” said Takeshi as he obediently went to the three seat behind.

Right now, Lucien was on the plane on the way back to Tokyo. After the incident yesterday, school didn’t dare to let the students linger in Okinawa anymore. They quickly booked a plane back in the early morning.

Rina sat next to him happily as she was humming a cheerful song. The classmates around looked at them in shock as the whispers erupted everywhere.

Lucien really had no idea how to deal with her. He could only try to ignore her as she drove the classmate who sat next to him away.

Connecting to the wifi in the plane, Lucien read the news about the incident the day before which people called it ‘Okinawa’s Raid’.

‘Really? The naming sense of this news publisher is a bit’

More than a hundred people had died from the wave of monsters. If it wasn’t because of Lucien, a lot more would have died. It was all thanks to him drawing the attentions of the monsters away.

Still, Many family members of the one who had died blamed him for not killing the monsters faster.

‘There are even people criticising me for my efficiency in applying skills!?’

Some blogs about gaming analysed his moves through the video and explained his skills in detail. He really felt weird reading this.

Of course, from the incident, many people hailed him as a hero, especially people who was in the scene. There was even a fanpage of him.

“Lucien-kun, here’s orange juice!”

‘Umm, quite sweet.’

The only thing that frustrated the media and people was that the identity of this hero was still a mystery. No one knew who he was. The only clue was that he was a guy from his body figure.

Moreover, his figures in every videos were somehow all blurry that it was hard for people to investigate his real height and body size. His body was also covered in blood which made it hard to identify his skin color.

His classmates in the supermarket didn’t suspect him either as they were all shocked and absorbed at the fighting scene. Lucien also summoned an illusion of himself there after running away.

It would be inaccurate to call it an illusion anymore as it could be touched and sensed. It was something closer to a doppelganger or clone.

However, the clone couldn’t use his skills nor superhuman strength. Lucien also had to split his mind to control it.

“Lucien-kun, the sandwich is great too!”

‘Umm, quite yummy.’

Thankfully, Rina was also stupefied from the event so she didn’t talk to him on the way back to the ryokan.

As for Alicia, she went back to Tokyo already after saying that she would wait for him at home. She also acted a bit weird somehow.

[Shocking! The Real Identity of Hikari Hero!]

[Hikari Hero! 21st Century First Hero!]

[The Embarrassing Secrets of Hikari Hero!]

Yep, his title was changed into ‘Hikari Hero’. Hiraki means light in Japanese which perfectly described his shining spears and feather.

Because the news publisher that published this news the earliest used this name, the other publishers followed it, so as everyone around the world.

‘But for fuck sake! What the heck is this girlish nam-‘

“Lucien-kun, try this apple juice!”

‘Oh, this one is great too.’

Lucien massaged his temple for five minutes to suppress the headache. All the articles about him were all clickbaits as they actually knew nothing about him.

As for why he didn’t reveal his identity? Simple

‘I will become popular if I reveal my identity. But can this be called a pro? Ptui! I will be hunted down by every dark organisations of this world and they might even take my family as a hostage! Besides, I will get endless troubles in the future…’

‘Moreover, what’s the use being popular for me?’ Lucien disdained those people who wanted him to reveal his identity. The cons were outweighing pros(?) by a tremendous margin.

For sure, he wouldn’t be able to live a life he wanted anymore if he did that.

“Lucien-kun, this chocolate is very delicious.”

Lucien had been eating whatever Rina fed him unconsciously as he was in his deep thought.

‘Looks like she hasn’t given up on me. Sigh..’

Then, he heard a voice from behind.

“R-Rina-chan…Can I have a ch..chocolate bar too?”

It’s Kiyomori, a.k.a. Shin-kun. Lucien hadn’t noticed him at all as he didn’t care about his surrounding.

“I can’t, Shin-san. I bought them for Lucien-kun,” apologized Rina.

Meanwhile, Lucien exclaimed in his heart, ‘Hohh, she actually lowered his grade from -kun to -san! What a poor guy…’

Kiyomori’s face twisted a bit. His hands clenched uncontrollably.

‘This guy is a protagonist and there’s no good making him an enemy’ With this train of thought, Lucien told Rina, “Just give him some pieces, Rina-chan. Isn’t he your good friend?”

It wasn’t like he could eat all the twenty packs of chocolate bars in her bag by himself.

In contrast to his good action, Kiyomori glared at him angrily.

‘What the heck? Didn’t I help you!?’

“Mou, Lucien-kun. I and Shin-san are just normal classmates,” Rina pouted as she looked at Lucien. She hadn’t even glanced at Kiyomori for at least once.

‘Damn, I can feel the change in temperature.’ Rina really gave him another headache. Still, he ate her chocolate obediently. ‘It’s actually very good. I should buy some for Alicia.’

Meanwhile, Kiyomori’s blood was boiling as he stared at his archenemy who stole his ‘lover’. Since he got the hero title and had awaken his power, he thought everything in his life would change and he could get anything he want.

Although there was no bully anymore, the girl he developed a crush with didn’t glance at him. It was infuriating.

‘It’s you, Lucien Santasa! Because of you, Rina’

A glint of cold light flashed across his eyes. ‘Now, I have the power. I’m not the same as you! Even though you are handsome, you are still a normal person!’

“Lucien-kun, ammm.” With a warm smile, Rina fed Lucien another chocolate bar.

“Umm, tha-”

Puchi!

‘What the fuck!?’ Lucien suddenly held his breath. He couldn’t even finish his thanks to Rina because the sudden assault.

‘T-T-This feeling’ A shade of blue appeared on Lucien’s face as he felt suffocated. The feeling he was experiencing right now was terrifying. It was both painful and somehow breaking his mindset in a weird way.

“Lucien-kun, are you alright?” asked Rina, tilting her head.

“I-I’m alright.” Lucien tried his best to stay calm. However, he heard a light chuckle behind him.

‘It was this guy’s doing!’

Lucien’s face turned solemn. He slowly lowered his head and activated Eyes of the Truth Seeker.

Lucien’s face paled from what he saw. Under his chair, there was a thin stone pillar, piercing through his chair from the ground.

The pillar was only pencil-sized thick, however, it struck Lucien accurately at his backdoor!

Lucien started to sweat profusely. The assault was too sudden and caught him off guard. Moreover, the application of his opponent’s power was too vicious.

‘I was too careless! Damn it, there’s more!’

It seemed Kiyomori could manipulate the pillar at wills as Lucien’s back door was struck again and again. If it wasn’t for his high endurance and his empowered buttock that he was trying his best flexing, he would have been pierced through.

“Santosa-san, are you alright? You don’t look well.” Kiyomori acted like he concerned about him, however Lucien could see his hidden smile and the vicious light in his eyes.

A fire started burning in Lucien’s heart as he couldn’t take it anymore.

‘Even if you are a protagonist, your action has crossed my line! You fucking Shin-san, I shall let you taste the real horror!’

Crack! Puff!

With a twitch of his waist containing the profoundness of spear mastery and perfect control of strength, the pillar cracked and disintegrated into ashes.

“Santo-”

Before Kiyomori could exclaim, Lucien casted Paralysis and Sense Disruption on him.

Lucien then turned back to look at the enemy of his manhood angrily. Rina also looked at Kiyomori for the first time curiously, seeing him suddenly stopped his word.

‘Gale Manipulation’

At this moment, Lucien combined Gale Manipulation and Spear Mastery unknowingly producing numerous sharp blade. With the sharpness of spear and the rushing of gale, Kiyomori’s blue shirt and jeans were torned into shred in no time.

“Ahhhhh”

“Ahh!!! Hentai!!!”

The scream rang out everywhere as the girls covered their face. Most of them had their eyes peeking through their fingers though.

Lucien smirked seeing the frail naked figure. Beside him, Rina also screamed for a second. However, her face turned into that of a disgust as she muttered uncontrollably, “Bah! His thing is just a tiny worm comparing to Lucien-kun’s dragon god.”

Thankfully, no one heard her statement except Lucien who was facepalming.

After a while, Kiyomori started to regain his sense.

“W-What happ- Ahh..”

However, this was not the end of Lucien’s revenge.

‘Hmph, you think this is the end!? Insight of the Divine masseur! Breath of the Divine Masseur!’

With two skills activated simultaneously, Lucien focused them on Kiyomori alone.

“Ahh! W-What is happening to m- Mmmm”

The whole plane became silence as everyone heard Kiyomori’s moaning.

“This is too disgusting” Lucien himself couldn’t help but mumbled in disgust.

He stopped his Insight as he couldn’t take to scene anymore and turned away. Breath of Divine Masseur alone was enough.

The nauseating moans rang throughout the plane as all the passengers could only tremble. Even the staff didn’t dare to take Kiyomori away.

Only when the plane landed at Narita Airport did Lucien stop his skill.

As for Kiyomori… His ‘Hero’ title was taken down by the mass after the clip of him gone viral…
