Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The Gym Class Devil
Seven days were about to pass quickly.
Tomorrow, a Devil incident would occur in the high school division of Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School.
As for Principal Yoshimura’s countermeasure, he gave all the students of Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School the day off. In his mind, that would prevent the students from being harmed by the Devil.
However, Principal Yoshimura was still thinking a little too simply.
At midnight, the moment the time passed twelve o’clock, most of the students were already asleep at home, including Kotone Asaba.
He had planned to go to the sports field with Reze and Makima tomorrow morning and stand guard there, but what he had not expected was that the Devil had already descended at this very moment.
In that instant, all students in Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School’s high school division who were afraid of gym class were instantly teleported from their homes onto the sports field.
There were not that many students who were afraid of gym class, but there were not few either. These students all disliked exercise.
At this moment, some students who were sleeping suddenly felt a chill on their backs, and their beds seemed to become very hard and uncomfortable. Soon, some of them woke up in shock.
Others had not fallen asleep yet, and some had even been taking a bath.
"Wh-where is this?!"
"What’s going on? Wasn’t I sleeping at home?!"
"I was just taking a bath! Does anyone have clothes I can borrow?!"
"..."
With all the screams and noise, everyone was quickly woken up.
"Heeheeheehee, gahgahgahgah!!!"
At that moment, they suddenly heard a strange, terrifying laugh. When they looked in the direction the eerie cry came from, they immediately saw a pair of terrifying scarlet eyes.
Because it was late at night, there were no lights on the sports field at all. There was only the faint moonlight in the sky, so they could only vaguely make out the silhouette of a huge monster.
The students were instantly frightened out of their wits. Screams rang out everywhere, and every one of them wanted to escape.
However, in the next moment, they discovered that for some reason, they had completely lost control of their bodies. Their bodies even began moving on their own.
"What’s going on? My hands and my feet, why can’t I move any of them?!"
"My body can’t move either! Where is it making me go?!"
"We’re done for! We’ve definitely been controlled by a Devil! I don’t want to die yet!"
"..."
All sorts of screams and cries instantly echoed through the entire sports field.
Their bodies began running on their own, and at full speed, as if they were running laps around the sports field.
The students who hated gym class were already the ones with poorer physical fitness. On top of that, being forced by a Devil to sprint at full speed, it probably would not take long before someone was exhausted to death.
Kotone Asaba, who was asleep, was suddenly shaken awake.
He opened his eyes and saw that the person shaking him awake was Makima.
"What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
Kotone Asaba immediately asked.
He knew very well that Makima definitely would not wake him up for no reason while he was sleeping, so something must have happened.
"A Devil has already appeared on the high school division’s sports field. Quite a few students are being harmed."
Makima said.
At that moment, Reze had also woken up. Hearing Makima’s words, she understood what had happened too.
"A Devil appeared? At a time like this..."
Kotone Asaba immediately felt surprised.
He had not expected the Devil to appear at this hour, let alone be able to drag students from their homes to the sports field.
"Let’s go. We’re heading there right now. Makima, if possible, control it directly later."
Kotone Asaba immediately took Reze and Makima with him and teleported through the Kamui dimension.
A few days ago, he had deliberately left a coordinate on the sports field, so now he could arrive precisely at the location.
In the blink of an eye, Kotone Asaba brought Reze and Makima to the sports field.
Kotone Asaba had only just seen the Devil’s appearance clearly when Makima had already controlled it.
At the same time, they saw a crowd of students desperately running across the sports field in disheveled clothing. Some were barely wearing anything at all.
However, after that Devil was controlled by Makima, all of these students stopped.
Most of them directly collapsed onto the ground from exhaustion, each one still badly shaken.
Fortunately, Kotone Asaba had arrived in time. Judging from the current situation, no student seemed to have suffered any serious accident.
"We’re... we’re saved... We’re finally saved!"
"Did... did someone come save us? Are Devil Hunters here?"
"That was close! I almost ran myself to death. When I wake up tomorrow morning, my legs will probably hurt so badly I won’t be able to walk."
"..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Kotone Asaba could roughly guess that this Devil was probably related to physical education. A Running Devil? Or a Sports Field Devil?
He did not know how to describe that Devil’s appearance. In any case, it was very abstract, so it was hard to tell what kind of Devil it was with the naked eye.
"This is the Gym Class Devil. I’ve seen records related to it before. This thing specifically targets students who are afraid of gym class. Making them run at full speed is only one part of it. After that, it will force them through all kinds of gym class activities. In short, it forcibly controls those students’ bodies and gradually tortures them to death, then eats them as appetizers at the end."
At that moment, Reze spoke from the side. "Thankfully, we arrived in time. Otherwise, most of them wouldn’t have made it through the first event, sprinting at full speed."
"So it’s the Gym Class Devil."
Kotone Asaba nodded slightly.
This thing really was a sneaky bastard. It had launched a sudden attack in the dead of night, and its ability was this unusual too.
If not for Makima’s ability to monitor things, it would have been very difficult for him to arrive in time.
By in time, he meant arriving and resolving the Devil before any student’s life was in danger.
Especially for students with poor physical fitness, being forced to run desperately would put their lives in danger in very little time. By the time the school realized a Devil had appeared, it would already have been too late.
After that, Kotone Asaba, Reze, and Makima did not remain here for long. They directly took the Gym Class Devil and left, planning to hand it over to Tokyo Public Safety for handling.
As for the rescued students, they had no idea who had saved them. Only a few people had seen the figures of Kotone Asaba and the others, but they would not think the three of them had been the ones who acted. They assumed Kotone Asaba and the girls were victims just like them.
"Speaking of which, who saved us just now? And what about that Devil? How did it suddenly disappear?"
"I don’t know. I didn’t see anyone attack that Devil. This is seriously weird."
"Maybe that Devil disappeared on its own. I don’t get it, and I don’t have the energy to think about it."
"Anyway, no matter what, our lives were saved. Just now, I really almost thought I was going to die."
"..."
Soon, the school also reacted.
After all, the commotion on the sports field just now had been extremely loud, with all kinds of screams and cries for help. After the school security guards heard those sounds, they called the police and rushed over.
After that, the security guards and police comforted and cared for the students, then contacted their families one by one to send them home, or the police personally sent them home.
Of course, private Devil Hunters also came, but they did not see even a trace of the Devil. They asked the students too, but they did not receive any useful answers. It seemed as if the Devil had suddenly disappeared.
However, not long after that, Principal Yoshimura woke up in the middle of the night and contacted Tokyo Public Safety. After learning that the Gym Class Devil had already been successfully exterminated by Public Safety Devil Hunters, he and Tokyo Public Safety made the matter public together. This reassured the students and parents, and it also meant those private Devil Hunters no longer needed to keep searching everywhere for the Devil in the middle of the night.
As for who specifically exterminated the Gym Class Devil, Principal Yoshimura did not reveal that.
Because according to the Future Devil’s information, there would not be only one Devil. Other Devils would appear in the near future too, so Kotone Asaba, Reze, and Makima’s true identities were still inconvenient to expose for now.
However, the Devil Hunter Club’s president, Hiroshi Ueno, and vice president, Aoka Uomi, had already guessed who it was.
After learning of Principal Yoshimura’s announcement, they were basically certain that Asaba, Reze, and Makima had been the ones who exterminated the Gym Class Devil.
Among all the students in the school, aside from Fang Rou, only Hiroshi Ueno and Aoka Uomi knew that Kotone Asaba and the girls were Public Safety Devil Hunters.
Of course, they were not stupid. They would not reveal these things. They were also well aware of the seriousness of this mission. If they casually leaked it, it would probably cut off their future path in the Devil Hunter profession.
The time returned to when Kotone Asaba and the others had just taken the Gym Class Devil away.
Even at this hour, Tokyo Public Safety still had people working the night shift.
After Yuki Kirisu learned of the news, she immediately changed into her Public Safety uniform and rushed over from home.
At this moment, Kotone Asaba was studying the Gym Class Devil.
After the Gym Class Devil was controlled by Makima, it had practically turned into a dog. It only barked and stuck out its tongue like a dog.
However, that was not the important part. The important part was that Kotone Asaba had discovered a piece of the Gun Devil’s flesh inside the Gym Class Devil. No wonder this thing’s ability was so powerful. So it had been strengthened by a piece of the Gun Devil’s flesh, and the piece was not light either.
Otherwise, theoretically speaking, a name like Gym Class Devil should not have been particularly strong.
After that, Kotone Asaba directly had Makima kill the Gym Class Devil and remove the piece of the Gun Devil’s flesh.
The main reason was that it would be inconvenient to let the Gym Class Devil live. If they did not directly kill the Gym Class Devil, Makima’s control ability would be easily exposed. The Gym Class Devil’s abnormal behavior would definitely arouse suspicion.
"I already know the rough details, so what Devil was it exactly? It actually deliberately chose this kind of time to show up."
At that moment, Yuki Kirisu had already arrived. The uniform on her body had clearly been put on in a hurry and looked a little messy.
She saw the Gym Class Devil’s corpse, but she could not tell what kind of Devil it was at all. Its appearance was too abstract.
"Reze said it was the Gym Class Devil. Judging from this Devil’s ability, that should be right. There was also a piece of the Gun Devil’s flesh inside it. I’ve already dug it out."
Kotone Asaba said.
"Mm. Then there shouldn’t be any casualties, right?"
Yuki Kirisu continued asking.
"None. But it almost went wrong. This thing chose this kind of time to show up and attack people."
Kotone Asaba said.
"That’s good. Well done. The next Devil will probably appear within the next few days too. Pay close attention."
Yuki Kirisu reminded him.
"Mm. All right."
Kotone Asaba nodded.
As for the piece of the Gun Devil’s flesh, of course Kotone Asaba kept it himself. Yuki Kirisu would not care about that either. Public Safety Devil Hunters were qualified to keep pieces of the Gun Devil’s flesh in the first place, and she also trusted Kotone Asaba completely.
After that, once the Gym Class Devil matter was mostly handled, Yuki Kirisu, Kotone Asaba, and the others went back to continue sleeping.
Coincidentally, the school Kobeni Higashiyama attended had also recently suffered a Devil attack.
However, it was a Devil with fairly ordinary strength. Kobeni handled it easily by herself, and only one or two students suffered minor injuries. There were no deaths.
Even so, that school still gave students three days off. After all, the nature of a Devil incident was very serious. Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School’s break was extended as well.
Since they all happened to have time off during the same period, Kotone Asaba suddenly thought that they might as well all go to the beach together.
"By the way, Reze, Makima, do you want to go to the beach for fun? Probably Okinawa Island."
Kotone Asaba asked.
"Okinawa Island, huh? I haven’t been there before, but it sounds pretty interesting."
Reze said.
"I’ll go too."
Makima also said.
"Mm. Then I’ll ask Kobeni."
Kotone Asaba immediately called Kobeni.
The moment Kobeni saw that Kotone Asaba was calling, she picked up the phone almost within a second, which surprised Kotone Asaba a little.
"Kobeni, do you want to go to the beach on Okinawa Island?"
"Huh? Okinawa Island? Um... will you be going too, Asaba?"
"Yeah. I’ll be going too. Reze and Makima will also be there."
"Oh, oh. Then I want to go too!"
In reality, Kobeni could not exactly be called very fond of going to the beach, but the moment she heard that Asaba was going too, she immediately wanted to go.
"Mm-hmm. Then I’ll come pick you up in a bit. We’ll all go to Okinawa Island together."
After Kotone Asaba and Kobeni hung up, he prepared to go downstairs and ask Power, Pingtsi, and the others.
"The beach? What’s fun about that? Is there anything tasty there?"
Power had no interest in the beach. She was only interested in delicious food.
"Of course there’s tasty food there too."
Kotone Asaba said.
"Then I’m going!"
Power immediately said.
"This counts as a trip, right? Long and I have never experienced that before. Although Hong Kong Public Safety has vacation time every year, they usually didn’t let Long and me go out freely. If possible, I really would like to experience it."
At this moment, Pingtsi spoke.
Long and Cosmo also nodded with interest.
"All right."
Kotone Asaba thought for a moment. "I just don’t know whether Quanxi and Kishibe would be interested. Either way, I might as well ask them too..."
