Chapter 58: The Dark Side! End
Who was the leader to begin with? The boss of the Do or Die Faction.
Why was he never punished after killing thousands of students in 3 years? Why was he known as the most notorious 3rd year student in the entire Academy? Just why do this bunch of crazy bastards worship him as their idol and surge behind his shadow and even kill their fellow Faction mates to protect his identity and prove their worth and love for him?
Actually, no one knew...
Yeah, that's it, the guy just appeared 3 years ago, killed his way through the Academy exam, and then lived nonchalantly ever after, someone bothers him? He kills him. Someone issues a challenge to him? He kills him. Someone was unlucky enough to have a mock battle with him? He kills him.
No questions asked, and no mercy to be expected, the guy was the definition of the devil in human skin, he cared not for friend or foe, human or beast.
There was even a legend going around stating that he killed his own family.
if that was true or not, Only Shadow knew, Yeah Shadow!
the reason why no crime of said Boss was ever known, no evidence was ever found, was because of this Shadow.
Instructors had no reason to move in the Academy because it was more of a hellhole than this event where if you kill nonchalantly you get killed.
but, even if they planned to there was no evidence, witnesses wouldn't be alive for long, or just won't talk, and so the Boss wasn't punished for his crimes ever.
But who was this Shadow exactly? Well to know one had to understand where this Boss came from.
he was from the slums, this was one thing no one knew, but Shadow did, the legend about him killing his parents was true, and him being crazy was from birth, his parents suffered a lot because of him but he was a child they didn't deserve, holding a view on humans similar to the way one see ants, killing them without batting an eye.
But another thing only Shadow and the telepath knew about him is that he's very interested in literature and anything worth knowing, and he's also interested in Noble's life, which was very unique for a distorted human such as him.
Their way of life, their etiquette, their way of talking, their clothing everything, this made it so people mistake him for being a Noble from birth, which is far from the truth.
He wasn't a very interesting being to know, and he had no friends, no lovers, only himself and his Shadow, but what made his unique and feared also made him respected and followed, though he knew nothing of it.
Being alone was the norm for the Boss, and this wouldn't have changed for what remained of his life.
every human to have blocked his field of vision has died if they were weaker, but one didn't, one was saved and lived to tell the tale and that was none other than Shadow.
The one who knew the slightest detail about the Boss, his only friend(Self-proclaimed), lover(self-proclaimed), and mother of his children(Self-proclaimed).
The one who stalked him since she was saved, fell harder than an iceberg and did the unspeakable for him.
Yes, Shadow was a girl, one crazy girl!
A stalker, one psycho stalker!
and lastly, a yandere, one dangerous yandere!
If the Do or Die Faction were the Grim Reapers for the students, then Shadow was their Grim Reaper, that was why they hated her, that was why they feared her, and that was why they hid and seldom appeared.
She was another reason why 150 Members were all the Do or Die Faction could reach, anything above that would cause an all-out against someone every Grim Reaper feared.
Once one spends enough time in the faction they start hearing a sentence more often, 'Don't bring that crazy guy into this.' when they ask, they get a stare that conveys a clear message, 'Don't ask.'
It is true that the Faction members kill each other, but that is when things are chill, and after they signed the contract with Shadow, before that, let's just say there was an event that will go down in the Academy's History called 'A Shadow's Jealousy'.
The name doesn't sound as much of a disaster as the actual events where arms, legs, and brains could be seen splattered wherever you go.
some students had to take a leave to recover from the trauma caused by what they've seen, but everybody only saw the aftermath not when the deed was actually done, leading to the legend of Shadow and when facts started being revealed, The Boss's notoriety rose a good notch once again.
Now we should better not talk about what Shadow does in her free time, since she lives, breathes, and spends every single second in the Boss's Shadow.
Indeed, His Shadow!
Her job was [Shadow Master(Variant - D-Rank)] it was similar yet at the same time vastly different from the normal [Shadow Master] job.
This job worked in a way where the Job Holder had to bind their own Shadow to a single being for the entirety of their lives, it had many conditions for it to be obtained, but the Crazy Stalker obtained it easily and didn't even think twice before she dedicated her everything, body, mind, and soul to the Boss.
Now in these chaotic times, what would such a person be doing?
It shouldn't really be explained since it was quite obvious, but let's just say the Boss and Shadow duo had many poor unsuspecting students disappear for eternity.
------End-----
These two aren't supposed to have a chapter where they go around killing people since well, you can probably form an image and they won't be smart and discreet about it.
But I hope I've done a good job describing them.
