Chapter 34 - The Calm Place Turned Chaos

Ryuma opened his eyes, seeing the unfamiliar sight just to know it was a ceiling after.

"Urgh, my head hurts. Where am I?" It hadn't been long until Ryuma realized that he was lying on top of the bed and got off it immediately. Ryuma looked at his surroundings as his eyes were averted to Line, who was brewing something in her teapot. And then towards Mika, who is sleeping in a bed beside him. Line sees Ryuma wake up and comes and greets him.

"Oh, you're awake, kid? Here, tea for you." Line gave Ryuma a cup of tea. Ryuma smells something weird from the tea, but drinks it anyway until the cup is empty.

"Thanks for the tea. By the way, what did you put in there? It smells weird..."

"Oh, nothing much. Just a tea along with a few spoons of sugar and a green peacock's poop as an adder-" Ryuma immediately spit out the tea.

"What the hell are you making your students drink?!!" Ryuma spat everything from his mouth.

"Hey, that's rude! Do you know the green peacock's tea was so popular among the herbalist because of its healing capabilities that they're willing to sell their own house to get it?!"

"NOT THAT I CARE, IT'S STILL A POOP!!!" Said Ryuma threw his empty cup on Line, but missed and hit another person who was lying on the bed beside Line.

"OUCH, THAT HURTS GODDAMNIT!!!" Lorie came out from the blanket along with a bulge on her head.

"Wait, you're from Valena's team..."

"SO WHAT'S OF IT, HUH?!!!" Lorie grabbed something beside her and threw it toward Ryuma.

"NOOOO, MY 4000 GOLD COINS TEA!!!" Line screamed as she witness Lorie threw her teapot filled with the expensive tea she bought with her money had just gone to waste. Ryuma, on the other hand, deflects the teapot with his pillow, but instead, it hits Mika, who was sleeping beside him.

"HOOOOOOT!!!" Mika groaned in pain from the hot tea spilled on half of his body. Meanwhile, Line was frozen there watching her 4000 Gold Coins tea just go to waste.

"WHO THE HELL IS THROWING HOT WATER WHILE I'M ASLEEP HUH?!!!" Mika instinctively throws a small wardrobe beside his bed out of rage. The wardrobe hits Ramilia, who is still sleeping on the bed in front of Mika.

"Urgh, OI, IT HURTS GODDAMNIT!!!" Ramilia also threw back the wardrobe, but it's toward Rio, who is next to Mika. After getting hit by the wardrobe, Rio slowly gets up and releases an inner demon aura inside of him.

"Oops..." A few minutes later, an infirmary which is calm and silent just became a warzone. Various stuff has been thrown left and right. Making it almost look like a pillow fight. Except, it's not safe for kids to join in.

"M-My 4000 Gold Coins tea..." Line, who was trying to stay calm, finally blew up from inside and immediately ended the infirmary war. Not long after, a huge bulge can be found on every student inside the infirmary. 

"Stop being a kid! Look, what have you done to this place?! Now... I want every one of you to get up and clean this place!"

"Ok..." With a low tone, everyone gets up and silently cleans the place. As the problematic student clean the infirmary silently, the one who broke the silent is Mika as he whispered slowly to Ryuma.

"That was fun, we should do that again…" Ryuma heard the whisper and answer back.

"What, you mean picking a fight with the girls for no reason?"

Little did Mika know there's one other person who heard their conversation.

The next day, everybody too was called at the same place. Where they have fought and drawn the blood of each other, thanks to Deathless World, every living being that is losing their lives inside the world will remain within Deathless World instead of the afterlife.

As for the worn and torn body of a student who died, Nurse Line

collects them and restores the body to its original state. Then, the soul will go back to their own body. Yes, this is a broken concept that defies the law of death. Along with the advanced healing capabilities in this world. They've made these for entertainment. Especially for that one particular woman.

"*Slurp**Slurp*, Ahhhh~ This lemon juice is delicious~," Said Miss Sunny, who was sitting under an umbrella in the middle of a hot day. Along with Line and Mr. Jin, who was sitting beside her. Line was holding a bowl full of popcorn, with an intent to watch students kill each other, Again. Well, at least if that's what the students choose.

"Say, where did you get these ideas, Sunny?" (Line)

"Umm... Well, let me tell you my story. Since childhood, my parents keep bringing me to the Colosseum. A place where blood and tears splatter all around among the fighters~ I like watching them. But, sooner or later I realized. They all died so quickly that I don't have any favorite fighters at all since they've died at least every five battles."

"And then, A thought came to me. What if they kill each other but are still alive? That's what I thought first when I used my RULE for the first time~"

"You're sick bastard, you know that?"

"Fufufu~ As long I can entertain myself~ And, this deathmatch also can be their growth spurt to become stronger..."

Meanwhile, Ryuma and his teams were inside the starting circle. To fight in the second round. Ryuma remembers back when they got the prize money.

"For the winner, each of you will be given One Hundred Gold Coins per each~" Miss Sunny gave a bag full of gold coins inside of them.

"Awesome! Now I can finally afford that buffet from that restaurant! What say you, my treat!" Mika screams full of happiness as he gets the money worth one month for one worker's salary.

"Ah, by the way, you all will be fighting today too~" 

"Wait, I thought this was all over..." Mika's expression turns sour.

"Hehehe, this is not over until you fight every team inside the class~ Now then, I'll pray you for good luck~"

Back to the present, A drone gave Ryuma a piece of paper.

"Hmm... So our next opponent is... Jamis Granger, Michail Silvereyes, Fimana Silvereyes, and... Zoya Kline? Which one is she again?"

"The one who sits beside Jamis right? You know, a girl with glasses... And keeps munching on something... And has spiky lavender hair..." Said Kiyo as he was stretching his body.

"Another glass? Hold on, how many people are wearing glasses in this class?" Said Rio was confused.

"Um, Me, Ryuma, that bitch(Ramilia), that Michail guy, and... Rudy?" Mika counts using his finger.

"Hang on, can't you tell the difference between glasses and goggles?" Ryuma chime on Mika as he was speaking.

"Well, it has 'glasses', right?" 

"I don't think those can be called glasses, they look so high tech."

"Ok, then now is the second the of Deathmatch: The Killing Day Without Consequences! The rules for this fight are simple. Kill the opponent's team leader! And they'll instantly be disqualified! You can point anything to be your leader, so no rush~

 Now, without further ado, let's start the second round of deathmatch!"

A ringing bell indicates that the round has already started. Team Ryuma makes its moves by moving forward.

"Say, yesterday we were at the village. But now we're inside the forest." Rio speaks as he climbs the tree to see what they are going to run into.

"I see nothing in front of us, it's just a tree and more trees, and also the big hill in front of us. I don't think that hill was there before."

"I see, anyway keep your guard up, our opponent this time isn't the same as the team before." Kiyo scratched the back of his head as he said that.

"So that's why you bring that bag, Kiyo?" Question Ryuma as he looked at the unfamiliar black bag Kiyo was bringing in.

"Huh? Just a precaution anyway. Moreover, I'd like to use stuff I barely used before."

"Nope, you're bringing that bag, means you're trying so hard, you try hard." Rio insulted Kiyo right behind him.

"What do you mean? I'm not try hard." As Kiyo walked with the bag on his back, at the next second, Kiyo heard the zip opening.

*The sound of iron piled up each other*

"What do you say about this, Mr. Kiyo?" It was Rio who opened the zip of the bag. 

"Ok, maybe I'm a bit try-hard."
