Chapter 4: | Training and To Japan |
***!!!GORE AND VIOLENCE ALERT!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!***
[Sealed Memory #3]
{["HehahHAHAHA More! Louder! Fear me more! Beg for Mercy!" Said a person with a devilish grin on his slightly blushing face, his bright crimson eyes shined in the dark along with his long midnight black hair, he's giving off a devil-like appearance.
"K...kill m..me pl...ease..." Begged the person laying in a pool of his own blood with most of his limbs cut out. Only the upper half of his body and his head remained. His arms, legs, and his lower body are scattered in this dimly lit room.
"Eeee? You're done already~? Why~? Hn? Can't you be more miserable~~? You see~? I really~ reeeeeally~ hate traitors~ But that can be forgiven...but!!! Those who took my only sister's life who is really~ really~ dear to me...have made the gravest sin...unforgiveable~. I wonder what made you people decide to kill the only one precious to me huh~? Tell me~ tell me~ Come on~ come on~ Tell me~ I'm suuuper curious~" Said the man with a wide grin, who's responsible for the other guy's suffering, playfully yet psychopathically like he's enjoying the other party's suffering.
"...Y.ou...de.vil...!" Spat the severely injured man to the one who he betrayed. "Eeee? That tongue of yours is kind of energetic, don't you think so~ Hnn~? Should I 'individually' have a chatting session with it outside~?" Said the man playfully before bloods started forming on his hand and hardened itself into a small sharp knife. "..N.no!..I.I'm So.rr-!! Mmm! NNnnN!" The man who's holding a knife made of blood shoved his unoccupied hand into the severely injured man's mouth mercilessly. The pleaded from the man was ignored as he slowly cut off the man's tongue, intensifying the pain. "KUAHHH!-Mmmmmm!" Screamed the man in agony but his mouth was then stuffed by his severed fingers.
"Here, I want to 'play' with you more so it'll be bad if you die out of blood loss first~ Let me heal your tongue~ Say Ahhh~" The man's remaining tongue stopped bleeding, he then started shedding tears. "I'll come back to you after I finished talking with this thing okay~? Don't miss me~ I'll come back shortly~". "H.ill...ne...hease....(Kill me please)..." The injured man said through his stuffed mouth.
The injured man is the Guild Master of the strongest Guild in Human Domain, 'The Eternity'. Of course, he's only the Guild Master to the public and on a paper...the real Guild Master is the one who he betrayed and even killed his sister...The real Guild Master is the one who's currently talking with his tongue in the corner of the room, he's also known as 'The Shadow of Eternity' by the Eternity's Guild.
He's the real hero of Humanity but refused the fame and gave credit to the Guild his sister created...But now, due to the death of his only sister who means everything to him...he's nothing but a 'Broken Hero', Asahi Clarke...
Asahi Clarke and his sister are not normal human, they are a rare breed of a High-ranked Demon and a Human...they are a Hybrid which is a secret that no one's knew about.
"I'm done talking with that tongue~ Shall we continue~?"]}

"HEUAH!!"
Rhys abruptly woke up with his body soaked in his own sweat before a pungent smell of Hospital hit him.
'The person in that memory...is me?' Rhys was in disbelief, he never knew that he'd be that cruel.
'No, he deserved it...what am I thinking!?' A brief sense of satisfaction unconsciously appeared in his thought before he came to his sense.
"Son! You're awake!" Called out a familiar voice to him which caused him to instinctively look to his side, and his father was sitting on the sofa with apparent dark circle under his eyes, indicating that he's been awake this whole time.
"...Papa" Rhys unconsciously called him out before spotting his sister, Melissa, who's smiling but Rhys instinctively knew that she's wary of him.
"Melissa...I'm sorry! I don't know what happened to me back then." Apologized Rhys, who's tried getting off his bed to properly apologize to his sister.
"Don't worry Son. You shouldn't move so much...Anyways, can you tell me what the last thing remember?" Asked David as he stopped Rhys from moving too much.
"What I remember...?" Rhys looked at Melissa who's now looking down at the floor, avoiding eyes contact. Seeing his sister acting like this shattered his heart.
"I...I remember seeing...blood before everything went blurry and then..." Stated Rhys before stopping and peeked at his sister who's still looking at the floor, then continued "...and then I saw Melissa crying face...that's all..."
*Silence*
The room became silent with no one talking.
*Drop*
Rhys started shedding tears drop by drops, he who still had the fresh memory of 'Asahi Clarke' and the painful feeling of losing his sister in front of him that has just integrated into him, the thought of losing his sister once more is too much for the kind-hearted him to handle.
"*Hic* " Rhys silently shed tears like a man.
It was then,
*Bodf*
He felt four arms embracing him which he immediately knew who they were without even the need to guess.
"Shu shhh...It must be painful...I think seeing blood is the trigger for you to activate your 'Second Quirk' Rhys...So, stay away from them and you'll this will not happen again." Consoled David to Rhys who just nodded while trying to calm his emotion.
'To think that he would awaken a second quirk and such a dangerous one with common 'trigger factor' at that...This should be kept a secret...I wouldn't want him to be despised as someone who have a Villainous Quirk' Thought David.
.
.
Rhys was soon discharged out of the hospital without the need to pay for medical bills as he's from the Shield's family.
The Shield trios walked in silence with no one saying a word but Rhys could feel that his sister haven't look at him yet. Which made Rhys's heart heavy.
'That won't happen again, I promise...This power that I inherited had many uses...but...if I lose control...by getting angry or seeing blood that isn't mine...I'll definitely lose my sanity as a human. Tsk...one mistake and...' Thought Rhys before his father interrupted him by tapping his shoulder and said, "Rhys...your hair, a few strands are turning black"
"!! Oh, is that so. Is it back to normal now?" Asked Rhys. He was shocked that he already failed to keep his emotion in check...a red flag.
"Yes, it's back. Are you okay Rhys?" Asked David in concern.
"Yes...Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for worrying papa." Rhys thanked his father before glancing at his sister, only to be shocked once again as her eyes trembled which he could only assume to caused by seeing a few strands of his hair turned black.
'...This is frustrating...' Thought Rhys as he bit his lower lip. He had no choice but to either throw away his 'anger' emotion or just have a good control over it.
Rhys made a vow to himself that he'll not scare Melissa ever again.
.
.
In Rhys's room,
A father and son duo can be seen trying something.
"How about it can you see?" Asked David as he put on a a blindfold for his son.
"Yes, I can. Only the outline though" Rhys saw through the blindfold with ease but he's only seeing the outlines of the object in front of him.
"Is it ok-" David was interrupted by Rhys mid-sentence as Rhys stated "This is nothing. I'll be using this until I can control that power. Don't worry Papa.
"I'm going release some stress papa...I'll be in our personal training ground" Said Rhys as he walked away. Training is the best way to release stress for Rhys.
***
A few days later,
Shield's Personal Training Ground,
Gravity Chamber, is a huge portable device invented by Rhys with some help from his father. Its purpose is to help the future generation hero train under more powerful gravity in order to become stronger physically. The Chamber allow the user to train under Earth's gravity up to 3 times. The heavier you are the stronger the pulling force as calculated in 'F=ma'.
Inside the gravity chamber, Rhys in a black skintight training shirt can be seen dancing under the gravity level 1.
It was not a normal dance you can see anywhere, but Rhys is performing Hinokami Kagura dance which composed of twelve segments. Rhys repeatedly do all of the twelve segments moves with a stable breathing.
It is noted that the breathing technique utilized in this dance allows the user to never exhaust themselves no matter how long they move, making it such that they can seemingly dance forever. But in Rhys case where the gravity is double than normal, it's like he's dancing with additional 40 kg weights on him.
It's not weird for Rhys immature muscle to get worn out, even if he's moving with a stable breathing, his underdeveloped body is almost at its limit as he's been dancing for 3 continuous hours.
Rhys underdeveloped body is still lacking to catch up with his breathing.
A few minutes later Rhys stopped dancing as he plopped down the floor a second after he set the gravity level to be normal.
As he relaxed, his breathing immediately became jagged and rough as if it's hungry for oxygen. His head is also throbbing painfully as a whiplash of using continuous Hinokami Kagura breathing technique for a long period of time.
'Recovery Breathing...'
Rhys started taking a brief moment to focus and steady his breath as he lays on the floor, it's a breathing technique invented by his brother, Tanjirou, which allows him to recover from fatigue and stiff muscles that prevent his body from moving. But there's a side effect, it accumulated and store the fatigues, the time it will be freed is random and unexpected after 6 hours of using.
After a full 2 minutes, Rhys is good as new and is ready to do his next training, the Firearm training.
He walked out of the Gravity Chamber section, and grabbed himself a handgun with 30 rounds of magazine.
He then stood in the middle of the ground surrounded by tens of moving wooden targets.
"Edith, start the firearm training targets." Rhys gave a voice command and the targets that surrounds him with the minimum radius of 50 meters.
Seeing the wooden targets moving, Rhys gave out a small smile as the transparent golden ring on his right middle finger started glowing before it swiftly wiggled itself and combined into the handgun in Rhys hand.
The normal-looking handgun became a little more expensive-looking after getting combined with 'Aether' a formless weapon that enhances other weapon at its master's will.
"Good enough...[Bullet Time]" Muttered Rhys as everything in his surrounding slowed down.
.
.
"Haa...Bullet Time's limit has once again increased. It's now at one and a half minutes." Muttered Rhys before walking away after leaving his handgun on a table, not minding all the broken targets around him.
Rhys walked out of the training room and noticed that it's already night.
'One more training to go' Thought Rhys as he made his way towards his room in the hotel where he'll do his last training.
It was a short walk to his room.
As soon as he entered his room, Melissa greeted him, "How is today's training?" Which he smiled and replied "It's tiring as always. What's for dinner?"
"It's Spaghetti!" Melissa answered proudly.
Melissa have become normal again but the trauma still remained albeit a little.
"I look forward to it. Where's papa?" asked Rhys who's walking to his bedroom.
"Laboratory" Melissa answered with a tired smile.
"Guessed so...I'm going to take a bath okay?" Rhys too sighed, his father really deserved to be called one of the best scientists, he's very punctual and loyal to his job.
"Sure~ Dinner in an hour." reminded Melissa.
*Creak*
Rhys entered his room and went towards his desk where a 5 lab rats can be seen locked inside a cage.
"I'm sorry to do this but which one of you will volunteer to go first today?" Asked Rhys to the 5 white lab rats in the cage. None of them, steps up...it's not like they understands him either so Rhys just picked the closest ones to him.
The rat did struggle a little but it was a normal thing to do after coming out from the cage.
Rhys then made his way towards the bathroom in his room, took out his sweaty clothes, revealing his well defined muscles and went in the bathroom with the rat in hand.
He stood in front of the sink before placing the rat in it. The rat did tried running away but it was a futile attempt as four blood whips appeared out of Rhys's left fingers and tied its four limbs, rendering it from moving too much.
"Sorry, little buddy" apologized Rhys, he always feel bad doing this control training. Just as Rhys finished speaking, his right index finger turned into a sharp small scalpel.
"Don't worry, I'll heal you." Rhys, with blindfold on, reassured the rat before began his 'training'.
*Squeak!!!*
The rat wails loudly in pain, but unfortunately every room is soundproof.
"[Blood Reanimation: Heal]"
And so...he continued training more and more. The time quickly flew by and another 2 years has gone by within a blink of an eye.
***
*Chirp*
Birds are lively chirping while flying in the vast endless sky.
A 12 year-old, Rhys, can be seen walking down the lively street of I-Island with hundreds of Pro heroes and tourists walking around.
Rhys is a handsome half-Japanese young man with a long snow-white hair that he ties in a ponytail with bangs hanging over his forehead while there are two medium-length hair strands hanging on either side and silver eyes under his classic round black polarized sunglasses.
He had also grown in height over the span of two years as he's now 162 cm tall, with a well-defined physique. He wears a black turtleneck long sleeve paired with black pants and boots. He wears a loose, white shirt beneath a hooded, navy blue jacket with grey markings across the sleeves.
He can also be seen wearing a black glove on both his hands with a unique transparent golden ring on his middle finger, hiding what's beneath it from other's view.
"You are Mr. Shield I assumed?" Said a man in black formal dress after spotting Rhys walking towards the Pavilion.
Rhys casually turned around and said, "Yes. Rhys Shield, in the flesh. What business do you have with me?"
"Great! It's such a pleasure to see such a genius as yourself. I'm Sebas, from U.A. High School of Japan. I came all the way here instead of the Principal to discuss about the 'Gravity Chamber' that you invented" The man introduced himself as Sebas before cutting into the main reason.
"Hoo~? I've got a bunch of invitation emails from various Hero Academy...You're quite sincere huh? Coming all the way here on this I-Island opening day." Rhys was satisfied with treatment U.A. is giving him to come all the way here.
It's been 4 months since feat of inventing the 'Gravity Chamber' has been announced to the public and various Hero Academy has been interested in owning at least one of it but...Rhys declined all of their offer no matter the price they offered because he didn't like how he's being treated.
"Good to know that U.A. is well-mannered" Complimented Rhys.
"Of course! U.A. is the no.1 ranked high school for heroics and is considered as the top Hero Academy in Japan. Would you like to hear more detail over a cut of coffee?" Sebas proudly stated as his hand started turning into a paper, a sign of his quirk getting activated due to his excited emotion.
"I'm quite busy at the moment so having your contact info. would suffice us. Don't you agree?" Rhys suggested, declining his offer of discussing over a cup of tea.
"That's a great idea Mr. Shield. Here's the information for my contact." Sebas handed a business card over to Rhys who accepted it.
"Then I'll take my leave." Rhys parted way with Sebas. "I'll be waiting for good news!" Said Sebas as he picks up his phone to dial someone.
'I can't effort to waste time here' Thought Rhys as he started jogging towards the Pavilion where his father is waiting for him.
"Sebas's speaking...Yes sir...You might receive good news soon, Principal Nezu...Yes, yes...he seemed like a nice kid but it's weird...I don't know how to put this but...I felt like being naked while talking to him." Sebas reported everything to the person called 'Nezu' as Rhys disappeared in the crowd of people.
***
I-Island, Pavilion,
Rhys went up the private elevator that only a certain group of people have access to.
'This place will definitely get livelier once I-Island will be open for tourists again in the future...I wonder when will Melissa's item be recognized and is put for show in this Pavilion'
Nothing in the Pavilion is new to Rhys as most of the item is his father's idea.
*Ding~*
[Welcome to the third floor, Member--Rhys Shield]
A female robotic voice rang in the elevator.
Rhys got off the elevator and a circular table can be seen in front of him, this floor is mostly used for business meeting.
"Papa~ What happened?" Called out Rhys to his father who's sitting one of the chair around the circular table with his right hand touching his face while his left hand is holding his phone, he seemed distressed which is weird as he's still acting normally this morning.
"Oh...Rhys, you're here..." Said David, who noticed that Rhys has arrived and is looking at him, David's state is like that of a child whose precious toy to him has been taken away.
"What's wrong papa?" Said Rhys as he pulled out a chair under the circular table and sat on it, looking at his father by his side for explanation.
"...It's...It's nothing. Don't worry about it...Anyways, what did you want to talk about?" David brushed off Rhys's question as if trying to hide something from him.
Though Rhys is skeptic about the reason that caused his father to be in this state, he didn't want to force his father and he respects his decision.
"...I want to know how's 'that' thing is going but it's better to talk about it another time." Rhys disregarded the business he wanted to discuss with his father but he decided that this is not a good time.
"Okay...Thanks for understanding son..." David said as he unlocked his phone and stared at something, but then Rhys said, "Papa, U.A. has invited me to probably set up the Gravity Chamber in their school."
"...U.A...The decision is yours to decide..." David gave Rhys the permission to decide things on his own as he's not in the right state of mind at the moment.
"Then I'll go..." Said as he stood up from his seat. Through his monochromatic vision, Rhys peeked at his father phone and saw that it the thing his father is staring at is a young version of Uncle Might.
'...Did something happen to Uncle Might?' Rhys furrowed his brow and thought to himself.
"...When are you departing son?" Asked David as he puts his phone down.
"I would like to quickly finish my work and come back as soon as possible so...departing tonight would be perfect for that." Rhys expressed his opinion to his father.
"...Tell me something interesting once you're back Son" Said David to his son with a smile plastered on his face. Seeing his father trying to lighten the atmosphere, Rhys smiled brightly in response and answered "Prepare a few cup of coffee once that time come papa. Look forward to it!"
With that, Rhys left the pavilion where his father is going to present a new support item which will be in the arsenal of I-Island Pavilion.
***
Rhys contacted Sebas as he went to his room and make a quick preparation.
He only needs a few clothes, a 'special drinks' and that's it.
Once everything's done, Rhys noticed that his luggage is...light. Well, he didn't bring much anyways.
'Should I bring you? Nah, Japan has a very low rate of villain running wild...Nothing will happen' Thought Rhys as he looked at his 'Baby', a special Dessert Eagle that is developed by him and his father...his first masterpiece.
'...Will I jinx myself?' Thought Rhys as he started sweating from being unable to decide.
At last, he brought the Dessert Eagle with him before meeting up with Sebas in the Airport.
The only way to enter I-Island is by plane to its airport, the same goes for going out. It is located on the outer ring of the island. Several planes from various airlines bring people to and from the island. There are also various gates that can be used to board planes. Anyone coming in from the outside must pass a security inspection in the airport.
"Good Evening Mr. Shield! Over here~" A familiar voice of Sebas entered Rhys ears which caused him to look to his side.
"So, what's the plan mister Sebas?" Asked Rhys as his eyes flashed gold under his round sunglasses as if he found something interesting.
