《Hunters Of Reality》Chapter 29: Horrors of the night

"The Principal! Of course!" Utsumi shouted.
I nodded yes.
"But my dad never told me about her, not even once. I thought he was the only survivor. And, she looks so young, despite being in her mid-30's. Man, that bitch was actually ol--"
In that instant, Utsumi was punched so hard, that he went flying, and crashed onto the wall, still went through it, and crashed on a tree trunk about fifty metres away, by none other than the person in question---Yuriko.
"Foul-mouthed piece of garbage. Just like his father, for sure---pretty face, ugly mouth." Yuriko said.
"Where did you come from!? I never even felt your presence, ma'am."
"I was here, outside the room the whole time, and couldn't help but overhear you finding out about Kazuki Akio." She said.
"Umm, we can explain, we didn't---"
"It doesn't matter now." She interrupted. "I knew you guys weren't just trying to be a normal club. That's the reason why I even intentionally revealed Kuroyurei's identity while talking to Henry two days ago."
"What're you up to? Before, you were freaking out about this club, and now, you're trying to get involved? This looks to me like you wanted all of this to happen." I said.
"O-Of course, that's exactly it." Utsumi said, while limping towards us.
"You're stronger than you look, Unlike your father." She said.
"What's your connection to this club, ma'am?" I asked.
"I was an unofficial member of TREC. Although I say that, all I ever did was annoy the people here. I was five when I first joined here. But I only did that so that I could stay close to my sister, Yuka. She was the first member to join the club, other than the founders."
"Why did she join? Was there any particular reason?"
"She once told me that she lost in a battle against Kazuki, and had to therefore be part of the club. Naturally, being the most powerful student at the time, and a total role model, a lot of others followed her and joined the club. Since she always stayed at this club after class, I never got to play with her that much. And so, I started hanging out and playing here. I cannot believe that I'm saying this, but those were actually the best moments of my life. If only that day never happened."

Her words were deep and obvious enough for even a fool to understand. They were those of a person who'd lost everything.
"What about Kazuki? How close were you to him?" Utsumi asked.
"We got along so well, that people would actually think that we were siblings. I even considered him so... but that bastard took everything from me... my home, my friends, my family, my precious memories... EVERYTHING. He was so kind to everyone, just like the perfect friend we all wish to have. Not once did we ever suspect him. Not bloody once."
"Were you there on the night of the incident?" I asked.
"Oh, I had the front row tickets to it." She replied.
"Please, tell us. We need to know." Utsumi insisted.
"The man broke into my home, which was very close to the academy, and slaughtered my mother, and her guards. I was sound asleep when it was happening, since it was close to midnight. I thought I heard some scuffling noises, and came out of my room, only to find all the guards, and maids dead. There were corpses lying all over the house. The stench of the blood was sickening. As I made my way to my mother's room, I saw her lying---dead. Her limbs had been severed, and tossed across the room. I don't know how many times I threw up at the sight of it. And then, just near her corpse, I could see the silhouette of the murderer, only to find out after a closer look as to who he truly was. I started scratching my head, and pulling my hair, thinking that it was some dream. But it wasn't. I couldn't move. I was scared as hell, and stiff as a rock. I couldn't think straight. The man who I loved and admired the most... someone who was practically like a family member to me, had slaughtered my mother. He nearly tried to kill me, but my sister intervened. She fought with him, and all the while, she was crying, and screaming in disbelief. He never spoke once. I don't know how long they fought, but I ran as soon as my sister told me to, wile she kept him occupied. I sprinted straight to the main building to call for any available help, only to find bodies scattered across the place. There was one old-looking TYB member with a severed arm, who immediately recognised me, and agreed to help. Apparently, he was on patrolling duty, and somehow narrowly escaped the onslaught, and managed to find some room to breathe, and heal himself a bit. He sounded the alarm, and sent a distress call to other TYB members. Kazuki was quick to find us inside the building, thanks to this. After fighting him, he too was killed, trying to protect me. I had no way out. I was cornered. I could see the bloodlust in his eyes... the eyes of a psychopathic murderer. I thought I was going to be killed as well, until Henry intervened. But, the bastard was still able to take Henry head-on, without any problem. There was, and still is, no man who's capable of that, but he did it. It was then, that Utsumi Takeda found me and carried me amidst the battle, to safety outside the building. He told me about what had happened to the club members. Just hearing about it made me nearly lose my mind. I ran to the club room, bare-foot on the blood-clad snow, all the while having Takeda chase me. I saw mutilated bodies everywhere, and nearly fainted at the sight of them. They all belonged to the members of the club. All my friends. Just gone. There was so much blood, that I had nearly forgotten the smell of fresh air. It was a massacre. The snow was blood red, everywhere I looked. I was so terrified that I couldn't even cry, or speak. I was shivering, and my skin was cold, and nearly out of energy. Takeda was actually injured himself, with a massive slash on his back. He was bleeding a lot, yet carried me to safety. He took me to his room in the boys' dorm, to keep me away from the club, and the Main Building. After about an hour, Henry came to the room, all injured, to say that Kazuki had somehow escaped. He also told me that all the club members, except Takeda, had been killed, along with a bunch of other teachers, and TYB members. The death toll, in reality, exceeded 50, but we kept this fact hidden, to not cause further panic, and public outrage. I also found out from Henry that my sister was nowhere to be found, but they found her sword, and her severed hand attached to it. It was obvious that she was killed. Even if she wasn't, she would have eventually died due to excessive bleeding. Soon, the school was shut down for a month, and new rules and regulations were formed. Henry controlled the academy from the shadows, laying low, all the while trying to find the whereabouts of Kazuki, and his possible connection to Imperium. After 13 years, with no success, I took over the academy as the Principal, and vowed to find and kill him."
