Chapter 9 - 9. I'm Talking To God

Mika: It's just a gut feeling. That's all.

Hamesh: Okay, then I'll leave this to you, and keep me updated. Wait, do you have a plan?

Mika: Yeah, this is just a guess. Even if they can pretend to be a level 1 protector, they won't be able to level up.

Hamesh: That's a good idea. Deactivate TFZ.

[ The Clock on the wall starts ticking. Hamesh grabbed a maths book from his desk and handed it to Mika. ]

Hamesh: Here is your book.

[ Mika grabs the book and nods at Hamesh ]

Mika: Thank you, sir.

[ Mika turns back and leaves the room—the sunlight falls in the corridor. Some wandered around as she walked through. Enters the class, notices the time on the smartboard that the lunch break is almost over. Quietly, she goes to her desk and sits. ]

Mika: I have no idea what to do next. It's easier said than done.

[ Mika sighs and then looks at Yuki and her desk. ]

Yuki: Why did she look at me? Are you gonna say ANYTHING??

Krishna: I can't answer this question. You'll know soon enough.

Yuki: It's no use.

[ Yuki takes out a coin from his pocket and spins it on his desk to avoid others' eyes on him. But this scene caught Mika's attention. ]

Yuki: (whispering) Just reminding you, head is no and tail is yes.

Krishna: Don't worry about it, I don't need to remember it. The system knows it.

[ Takes a deep breath and keeps his voice barely a whisper. ]

Yuki: Okay, what he said is—not true, right?

[ Scene cuts to endless white space where Krishna is standing. A screen appears to Krishna, displaying yes or no. He pressed no. The scene changes to a coin spinning and landing on its head; Mika is watching the whole thing. His heart is racing, and he keeps his voice barely a whisper. ]

Yuki: Calm down, calm down, I forgot to say his name. Okay, what Adam said is not true, right?

[ He spins it again. The scene cuts to an endless white space, where Krishna stands. A screen appears to Krishna, displaying yes or no. He pressed no, and the scene changed to the coin, and it landed on its head, his heart racing, but he hid his shyness with his frustration from himself and spin it again. ]

Yuki: (whispering) This is final, okay? No playing around. What Adam said was not true, RIGHT?

[ Scene switches to endless white space where Krishna is standing ]

Krishna: Okay, I guess that's enough.

[ A screen appears to Krishna showing yes or no. He pressed yes, and the scene changed to the coin spinning, and it landed on its tails, and Yuki finally calmed down. ]

Yuki: Why don't you just tell me from the start? It's no use asking you. Anyway, confirm, right?

[ He spins it again. The scene switches to endless white space where Krishna is standing. A screen appears to Krishna, displaying yes or no. He pressed yes again. The coin landed on its tail. ]

Krishna: You and he are the same in this thing.

[ Mika, who is watching the whole thing out of curiosity. ]

Mika: Hey, hey, Yuki?

Yuki: Why is she calling my name? Should I turn or not? What if she's calling someone else? But there is no other Yuki except me. What if I got confused by her pronunciation?

Mika: Yuki, are you even alive?

Yuki: But she's clearly calling me, okay. Yeah, what is it?

Mika: What are you doing over there?

Yuki: Now I understand why you're messing with me. SHE IS WATCHING THE WHOLE THING. Ahhhhhhhm, should I say it? Why should I tell you in the first place

Mika: Adam is right, he is lame. He could at least lie. Just answer, you don't have to be honest. Because there is always a truth in a lie. 

Yuki: Is this a trap? What is she plotting?

I'm talking to god with coin's probability.

Mika: Ohh Is he trying to fool me, or is this some kind of sign of communication? Maybe I'm thinking about it too much.

Yuki: No reaction, now I know how it feels for Adam to talk to me. But he's still talking, hatsoff bro.

[ Scene changes to a man's house, he is sitting on his couch, his back against the couch, and his head is looking upwards at the ceiling. ]

Kaelveth: I couldn't understand what he was plotting, but indeed I shouldn't have asked like that. Pretending to be a human demands a steep price and focus.

[ He hears a sparkling sound, his head rose, and he observes the surroundings and finds a sheet of paper appearing on the side table near the couch, glowing in green colour. Finally, it stopped glowing and fell on the side table. He took it and read it. It says … ]

Niru: It's me, your king. Any other means of communication could be tracked. I can't see you for a while. You can, for now, I doubt that a student from Sky High School is a demon and not one of us. He is unique, investigate that. You can use any means. But he only has two choices: one is to join us or to be killed. This is your mission.

[ After he read that, there was something written on the bottom of the letter. ]

Niru: His name is Yuki, and there are protectors in that school.

[ Kaelveth stands up from his couch and kneels to the ground. ]

Kaelveth: As you wish, Majesty. Yuki, huh. I wonder what made him think like that.

[ As time passes, it is already evening and usually the last period is free. But today it has become PE. And Yuki is standing near a tree. Watching the others play. ]

Yuki: Why is this happening to me? I'm not very good at sports.

[ Mika, who is playing throwball, notices that Yuki is standing alone instead of playing with others, and soon Adam starts walking towards him. ]

Yuki: There he is, Joker.

[ Mika notices Adam going towards Yuki. ]

Mika: I don't know what he'll do, Adam. I'm gonna throw it at you. If he catches it, he would become level 2. Sorry, Adam. I've got no choice.

[ Mika waits until Adam gets close to him. ]

Adam: Hi buddy.

[ Mika threw it toward him like she had made a mistake. Yuki noticed it. ]

Yuki: Oh my god.
