"Aulia,what is your plan for tomorrow?"(Lumiere)
"I think i will attacking black soldier,we need a bit more information about them not to expect their strongest student was killed by someone."(Aulia)
that king died?Who killed him?this is not normal.
"Then we will be attacking laughing crown,i don't want to fight them because they always cheat in competition like this."(Lumiere)
"If you need help,just tell us in this game we are allowed to run 2 times and the match last for 4 hours.you don't need to force yourself to defeat the "Tyrant" alone.you need to win some point to right?to get into the next round."(Iris)
I raise my hand.then they allow me to talk.
"Pardon of me,but will you allow me to conquer castle alone ?"(Forvish)
"May i ask your reason?"(Aulia)
"Because i want to get stronger,i will use this as training."(Forvish)
Iris nod as understand my reason but someone give rejection.
"Rejection,Such a thing is impossible,what's more with the tyrant guarding it!!"(Lin)
What she say right,but if he guarding it.
"I am sorry if what i say was wrong,but you are forgetting something for each point king defeat the team will get 5 times of normal point.I am sure the tyrant will be crowned to be a king,and the tyrant will attack the opposing team.and I am sure of it."(Forvish)
"Why you are so sure?"(Lin)
"Instinct i guess,but i doubt i will lose if the tyrant is there."(Forvish)
"Such a thing is irresponsible we don't have time to be reckless!!"(Lin)
"Lin,please be silent for a while,Shin how much you sure about it?"(Lumiere)
"99%,laughing clown are famous for its enmity to others i doubt they will go to work together.what's more they act as they fit i doubt 50% of them will defend the castle,considered the time,i need around 1 -2 hours.It is the time i need to search around and defeat all of them at same time."(Forvish)

What i are saying is the fact,lumiere knowing me and everyone else believe me they won't lose.but lin doesn't know about it of course she went protest.
"Are you kidding?Who do you think you are?The Hero who saved our school,forvish!!Don't joke around transfer student!!"(Lin)
......Lumiere looks away and hold her laugh.. i am indeed forvish....but you don't need to know.
"I don't have time to argue with you,if you don't want to take risk i am fine with it,but if you lose because it then don't blame me."(Forvish)
we have meeting for the sake of winning after all,if we only take the safe path then we cannot win.what's more the black soldier..i have feeling they will be our greatest threat in this tournament.but i don't have proof nor i have meet the new leader.after saying that words lin can't rebuke at all.
"I want to have some agreement first.first i wish for us if any of student we meet each other i wish we will run."(Lumiere)
"No ,that won't be possible,my mana is tactical mana,so the change we meet each other are slim there is no need to worry about it.beside forvish already help by teaching me how to control my mana.He is also often spar with us so we could protect ourselves."(Iris)
Iris mana certainly tactical but her lacking stamina is a problem though.because she was shut in before.
"I see,Looks like The forvish you speak of certainly want to built some group of superhuman aren't he?What's more all of them are girl."(Lumiere)
"Looks you know him very well,if you meet him,please tell him not to make any more girls fall in love with him."(Iris)
"I will.thanks for your suggestion."(Lumiere)
She smiled but her eyes smiled,but the glare pierced me,everyone else are the same.but i just keep calm while sweating madly inside.
"What's wrong with that?For a man amazing like him to marry many girls it is normal."(Lin)
"LIn Shut up."(Lumiere)
Lumiere smiled at her but her eyes aren't
"I am sorry.."(Lin)
Lin immediately bow .
woman jealously are so scary,but i don't plan it please believe me.
"Anyway,let's talk about shin problem later,Aulia would you considered lend us some something that we can use to communicate?"(Lumiere)
we communication are important i know that we need it.
"Sure,we have 2 mini smartphone it can even to talk face by face created by jessica."(Shiroyuki)
that Scientist it's rare for her to make something normal,she often create a drone or bogey to watch me take a bath until i ban her to do so.or she often try to make sleeping medicine but i destroy all of her research material.really just what is wrong with that girl.
"Shiroyuki passed us the mini smartphone.then we try to test it there 11 channel,for channel one it was for her own,the 2 one for shiroyuki,3 Aulia,4 Alice,5 Iris,6 melina,7 Lisa,8 miyuri ,9 ken, 10 riese,11 lumiere.we can't even message each other.but they already planned this much huh...then when i suddenly got a message from jessica i read it.
"Forvish,i heard you didn't got another girl.this is just a warning but if you got any new girl do you have resolute to become otomen? "(Jessica)
then there is consecutive message from jessica delivered to me..all of them i have bad feeling about.. i don't want to read it because jessica previous message.really girls are scary creature.i wondered if luna would be mad at me if i told her this.well she is gentle girl she won't threat me or doing anything like that.for now i should study strive training harder so i could protect everyone that i hold precious .

"Communications has been solved,now what will we do if this is three pronged fight?"(Lumiere)
"We will give you the point,what we want to fight you in the next round fair and square."(Aulia)
well,if this was point for passing the next round it will be easy for them beside chance that occurred are slim,nor it by taking them.
"Okay,Then about next problem-"(Lumiere)
It keep going until evening then after everything is over ,they are tired.to lighten the mood i will make some food.we don't have lunch anyway.
"Lumiere,i will borrow the canteen kitchen to make us fried rice,so i gonna go for a while."(Forvish)
"Please add omelet for me."(Shiroyuki)
"Yeah."(Forvish)
i nod then i walk to the kitchen.when i out of the meeting room lune is already in front of me.holding her stomach..
"Dad,i am hungry~~~make me some pasta~~~"(Lune)
"Geez,i told you to eat with lumiere's mother there is no need for you to come here.Anyway follow me i will cook for you."(Forvish)
"Nn~~"(Lune)
she followed me to the kitchen after we cook enough for everyone i return to the meeting and told lune to go home after eat some food.
"Delicious as always~~~Your food certainly addictive~~~"(Lumiere)
"You praise me too much."(Forvish)
I only smiled wryly then i notice lin gone so only us that left my usual group.
"Anyway,Shin it is okay to blow your cover now,lin has already gone home and i already locked the door at the same time this room is soundproof."(Lumiere)
"hah,so you already know huh.then i will call lune first."(Forvish)

"Well,everyone how are you?"(Forvish)
"Before that would you explain everything what happen until now."(Aulia)
I told them what i have done,of course i also ask them.after knowing everything i sighed in relieve.
"Forvish,will you return once the tournament is over?"(Shiroyuki)
"I can't answer that,because i need to retrieve my past and i have something to do."(Forvish)

"Forvish,your swo-no gunblade are made of material that absorb mana and use it to them,but they also imperfect because you will only use your partial power.don't rely your own rely on her more.'(Akumu)
Her?did she mean lune?before i can say anything to him i already wake up.Now i must know about my past i will change myself i need to save noir.until i finish all of this i won't return because i will only bring disaster with them.

"Why forvish's do this?I don't understand at all."(Leon)
"I don't know..but this video already proof that he done it.appearance of human maybe copied but A mana cannot be copied that is already basic law,because each person has different soul."(Sirrus)
"Then why he save his previous enemy?It is not logical at all!"(Riese's father)
even if he want to gather allies,it should another prisoner not them the one that have deep resentment for them.
"It just my feeling as police for all this year..but that isn't forvish."(Jessica's father)
"i believe that boy will never do anything,because that boy is kinder than anyone else."(Miyuri's mother)
"Then will you slide it aside because the past?human can change don't forget it."(Sirrus)
everyone knows it better than anyone,human will only show his true nature when his life at stake.
"Then you believe this?"(Helia)

Forvish POV.
night time
now i am talking to akumu in
"Hey Akumu,i just noticed you were black when we are here but you turned crimson when we get an outside."(Forvish)
"It is because i am black,it is your wishes to make your enemy suffer and drenched in your enemy blood,my color is turned crimson because of that.your father know i am black right for example and sometime your friend mistake my color as black because my crimson is really dark."(Akumu)
"Can you become white or something that brighter?"(Forvish)
It is cool for crimson but i like white better.
"What do you think i am ?Chameleon?beside don't you get another thing to do?You should train hard for the girls that will betray you right?"(Akumu)
"But you also part of me right?I won't abandon part of myself so i will talk to you beside i know you aren't evil."(Forvish)
I smiled and laughed.
"Forvish,let me ask you will they still believe you if you don't have anything or your power sealed or something?Human are creature like that.they will abandon you once you served your purpose."(Akumu)
"No i believed them,they are friend that will always believe me ,shiroyuki also promised me,she won't break it.nor anyone would betray me and abandon me."(Forvish)
"say that once you retrieve your memory.if you still saying that once you retrieve my memories then i will change myself."(Akumu)
"Then give my back memories and i sure i won't change."(Forvish)
You are the one who hold it right?
"Such a thing is impossible,because your memory will be retrieved once your body hit 17 years old,which a week or 2 weeks from now."(Akumu)
"But aren't i already seventeen?"(Forvish)
"fools,it is because you forget it and the date was set by your parents."(Akumu)
I see ,then the things i can do is wait.that day is pass the final though ..what a waste.but what should i wishes?
"Forvish,you should take a rest tomorrow is the tournament right?if you lose because talking to me i can increase the chance of your dead.so go to sleep now."(Akumu)
What a roundabout way to tell me..but he is kind like me though,we are really peas in the same pod.
"Good night,akumu let's talk again next time."(Forvish)
after that i had a good dream,today i was happy..

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
