A week ch26
A week passed and shinya was fit to be discharged from the hospital afterall. His family still visiting him everyday it gave him a sense of peace that he desperately needed. This feeling of humility this feeling of tranquility ultimately he never wanted it to end. Though times can never last forever. So here was a problem as he saw all the reporters outside of his window as he looked outside to the ground for the first time. It was honestly quite shocking multiple reporters looking to ask him questions about the event just for him shut the window behind him.
Then he decided it was time to leave. It was time to go and talk to the reporters afterall he was healthy enough to leave and he had to go talk to the mayor too and find out why he had to go through those things those awful even things nobody should have to go through." Sir sir just a moment of your time please" said a reporter " sir did you know going into this contest this stuff was going to happen?" Asked another reporter." Are those people actually dead or is this just a game?" Asked another reporter as shinya was walking out the doors of the hospital but shinya couldn't contain his anger. He couldn't contain it anymore after what the last interviewer tried to say to him." Yes those things did happen everyone died except me this is the reality of things I wouldn't wish what happened to me to my worst enemy nobody should've went through what us high schoolers went through, it was ridiculous ludicrous I saw peoples true nature I saw the ultimately most selfish and selfless versions of people I saw it all and I survived it I became the strongest one and I will always be the strongest one" said shinya angrily and full of other emotions in his throat as he speaked each word.
He couldn't take it anymore though even with his family around him he needed to know why he went through what he went through. He decided to go to the mayors house. Leaving his family behind and saying his goodbyes" please son just come back safe please I can't bother to see you go.." said his mom shinya cutting her off giving her a hug and leaving through the doors of the mayors building. He noticed how tall and structural the mayors building was a complete opposite to the inside. As shinya walked inside he noticed two staircases immediately to the upstairs and noticing a living room with women in it."ahhhh!! Shinya welcome to my humble abode sonny!!" Said the mayor offering shinya his hand and shinya regrettably gave him his hand as he walked down a long corridor between the two staircases.
Only to end up in a kitchen and another living room with a door leading to a basement at the end of the kitchen."well you said you wanted to know the truth about this game right?" Said the mayor with charisma in his voice meant to attract shinya more. Shinya decided to just ignore his temptations and just walked down the kitchen and followed the mayor as he walked through the door down a set of stairs to a screen in a room with nothing else."well you see let me show you a projection of a screen maybe you'll understand more shinya." Said the mayor as he got shinya to sit down in the chair in front of the screen huge screen bigger then a tv almost like a projector but it felt real. Realer than anything he's ever felt." This is the world shinya the 16 continents one fighter from each continent and the winner gets whatever wish he desires fulfilled and that continent is the winner, whatever you wish for it can be yours the world can be yours shinya all you have to do is seek it out." Said the mayor
Clearly trying to convince shinya albeit it didn't work at all." So your telling me us being recorded secretly the duel system the announcers the actual game of killing is for us? That's bullshit entirely." Said shinya almost laughing off what could be called a version of the truth." Well although it is for you it's also for us too the people higher up you know. And this is meant to be the greatest entertainment the world has to offer we have to celebrate it it happens every 500 years afterall." Said the mayor with a huge smile on his face a smile that completely creeped shinya out. Though this also posed a question that got awnsered there is people in high powers determined to get this game to continue." So your telling me to keep playing but why so what if I get my wish if I can't help my family and I did what's in it for me truly then?" Said shinya
"Well fine what do you say no matter what wether you win or lose your family's financial situation will be helped okay, remember this is not a game of gaining,this is a game of sacrifice, how much are you willing to sacrifice for those you love and what you love shinya this is the game." Said the mayor as happily as can be clapping his hands together" also the official tournament is in six months you have six months to get as strong learn as much as possible to become better shinya goodluck to you you'll need it, one more thing though always expect the unexpected" said the mayor as he escorted shinya out of the basement.
This, all this did was confuse shinya more, so this isn't the first of this game? It's happened before and does that mean it will continue after this game in another 500 years and what if ur the ultimate loser? Afterall he did basically say there's a winner then there's got to be a loser besides the winner, a true loser. None of what he said made sense or maybe it just didn't because he couldn't understand it actually. Shinya thought that none of what he learned from the president would help him but that's not the reality it would help him majorly he just didn't realize at all. While shinya was still deep in thought as the mayor escorted him out of the house watching him the whole time.
Seeing the chandelier at the top of the first floor as he walked past the two staircases and the women on the side. He wondered if coming back here was really ever the right choice he doubted it completely something about this place is off. Shinya opened the doors and was greeted by his mother and sister on the other side with him ready to go home six months left to go until the tournament starts afterall. A countdown had begun shinya had to become better stronger. He had to for himself and for the others.though in the back of his mind maybe the mayor was actually helping him and was telling him the truth but that makes it even worse honestly shinya thought.
