《Ghost World Academia》56-Truth

Ryuga who is beaten to pulp is sitting on the ground of what seems to be Ecio’s house.
“So, are you going to explain to me how you got out of Glitchland?”
Myra who is sitting in front of Ryuga says. She is with Miya who is standing right behind her. Miya seems like she is quite angry.
Ecio comes in bringing tea for everyone.
“Like I told you, Paimon got me out of there.”
Ryuga says.
“Paimon is not a demon who let just anyone out. He didn’t even let Yuu out. You think that he would let you out?”
Miya looks quite angry.
“It’s hard to believe that she was rooting for you when you were inside Glitchland.”
Ecio whispers in Ryuga’s ears.
“Was she?”
Ryuga looks confused.
Ryuga than moved his attention to Myra.
“Why don’t you ask Paimon yourself, Miss Myra?”
Ryuga asks Myra.
“I already have but he refuses to speak.”
Myra says to Ryuga.
“Eh?
Ryuga looks confused.
“He said that I let that kid out because he made me laugh. I want to know what made him laugh so that I know how to control him.”
Myra says to Ryuga with a stoic expression.
Ryuga sighs.
“Well, however he got out, what matters is that he got out Myra. Don’t you think that Ryuga deserves to know the truth since he went through every single trial you put through him?”
Ecio asks Myra.
“Eh? What truth? Am I missing something?”
Myra sighs.
“You see, Myra never intended to teach you anything. All she wanted to show you was the harsh reality that you will be facing in the future if you continued the path you took. That’s why, she put you through all those trials. In fact, she has done this to all her disciples so far. That’s why she doesn’t have any disciples except that one kid.”

“That student who died during the incident 7 years ago-“
Myra angrily interrupted Ryuga.
“HE DIDN’T DIE!”
“I think it’s time that you told him the truth, Myra.”
Ecio says.
“If you two want to have a teacher-student relationship, it would be best for him to know what happened to your previous student.”
Ecio continued.
~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~
“Seven years ago, my class went on a trip just like how you went on a trip about two weeks ago.
It was suppose to be a normal academy trip where our students helped with small things here and there in the human world. Again, just like you kids were helping the Ogres.”
Myra said.
“At first everything was normal but then all of a sudden, one of our students Eina went missing.”
Myra continued.
“You mean Eina Wood?!”
Ryuga asks Myra.
“Yes, she was the one who disappeared and following her Yuu who was head over heels for her at that time tried to find her along with everyone else. We all tried our best but we couldn’t find her until night fall.”
“What happened when it was night-time?”
Ryuga asks Myra.
“Once the sun set and the moon had risen, I heard a loud of voice of Yuu screaming at someone, “LEAVE EINA ALONE!” and I followed that voice. As I followed that voice I reached Volsium Forest.”
Myra says.
“Volsium Forest of our City-H. It is located right around my area. I remember now, seven years ago there was a tornado there.”
Ryuga says.
“That tornado was caused by me in attempt to save both my precious students.”
Myra says.
“What?!”
Ryuga looked confused.
“There was a young girl who caught him. A girl who wore a black mask which looked like those Japanese folklore monsters Tengu.”
Myra says.
“I saved Eina…But I wasn’t able to save Yuu from them. That girl with that black Tengu mask took Yuu with him.”

Myra says to Ryuga.
“A young girl? Was she about their age?”
Ryuga asks Myra.
“No, she might have been even younger. Maybe 11 or 12 years old at most.”
Myra says to Ryuga.
“In other words, we believe that girl was a prodigy.”
Miya says as she looks angrily at Ryuga.
(Still angry with me huh?)
“There is something else you aren’t telling me though.”
Ryuga says.
“You have a good sense of things, huh Ryuga?”
Ecio says with a smile.
“It’s just that, it all seems very vague. Why did they attack Eina? Why did they take away Yuu? What did they achieve from doing this?”
Ryuga kept on questioning.
“You see, when you work under Myra, it’s a rare sight. It is a guarantee when you are working under Myra, a prodigy is going to be born.”
Ecio says.
“Working under her?”
Ryuga asks Ecio.
“That’s right, Yuu wasn’t just her student, he also worked under her as her Sidekick.”
Ecio says.
“That’s unbelievable…”
Ryuga looked shocked.
“Myra trained Yuu because she saw potential in him. At the same time, Yuu found a friend for himself in form of Myra.”
Ecio says.
“Wait! For real?!”
Ryuga asks with a surprised tone.
Ecio nods.
“You won’t believe it but Myra used to be more cheerful then ever back when she was young.”
Ecio chuckles.
“I am still young!”
Myra looks at Ecio and comments angrily.
“Aunt Myra, you are 30 years old and aging quickly.”
Miya chuckles and Myra pouts.
“Anyways, my point was, there was someone who wanted Yuu because of how good he had become under Myra’s training.”
Ecio says.
“I see…”
Ryuga looks like he was ready to hear.
“We believe that someone was a part of Illuminati.”
Miya says with a calm sigh.
(Wait…Wasn’t mother part of Illuminati? So if that’s the case, then does Myra not know that mother was part of Illuminati? This case is more complicated than it seems.)
“Our main suspect it Ryan Arkwet.”
Miya says.
“Wait, didn’t you say that it was a young girl that took Yuu away?”
Ryuga looks confused.
“Yes, but it could be possible she was specifically trained by Ryan Arkwet.”
Myra says.
“I see…”
Ryuga looks to be in deep thought.
“Do you now understand why I don’t take disciples, Ryuga?”
Myra asks Ryuga.
“I do. You are afraid to lose them. Aren’t you?”
Ryuga asks Myra.
Myra nods.
“I would like to have you as my disciple Ryuga but I do not want to lose another disciple, so-“
*Flick*
“Ouch!”
Ryuga flicks his finger on Myra’s forehead.
“I promise you that you won’t lose another disciple to anyone else.”
Ryuga says with a wide grin, puts both his hands in his pocket and stands up.
“That’s because there won’t be anyone who will be able to defeat me once you, my Master trains me to my full potential.”
Ryuga says with a wide smile and holds his hand forward.
Ecio stands up and pats Myra’s shoulders,
“I think it’s time to move on from your past, Myra.”
With those words, Ecio moves out along with Miya.
“Are you sure you want me to train you? Think about it again, if people come to know that I trained you, they will come to kidnap you or the worst case scenario, kill you.”
Myra warns Ryuga.
Ryuga nods,
“If I can protect the people I care about, I am ready to take on anyone and if you are afraid of people knowing you trained me, I will just keep it a secret.”
Ryuga says as he keeps his hand hanging.
Myra sighs,
“I guess in 7 years…This is the first time…I have to admit defeat…”
Myra smiles and holds Ryuga’s hand.
“From now on, I am here your Master and you are my Student, is that clear?”
Myra asks Ryuga.
Ryuga nods,
“I understand.”
Ryuga says and bows to Myra.

Summoning America
Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns! Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Ravernal Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find? This Summoning Japan inspired work will follow the United States as it is summoned to a New World. The story will begin with the United States’ initial encounter with the Rodenius continent. Although starting similarly to the original story, Summoning America will begin to diverge greatly as the war against the Lourian Kingdom comes to an end. For the context of this work, I expect that you have already familiarized yourself with the original piece, “Summoning Japan” also known as “Nihonkoku Shoukan”.
