The Return of the Grim Reaper

Previously

"I'll leave it at that for now, but you two also stay alert for anything," Raizor said as he looked out the airplane window. Erick and John nodded, then went to sleep, except for Raizor, who was still awake until a loud noise caught his attention.

"So, it's you who was listening to the conversation, Lena," Raizor said with a smile as he offered her a hand to help her get up.

Currently

Lena got up, but she didn't know what to say since Raizor knew that she overheard the conversation she had with Erick and John, but she was surprised to see that he wasn't angry.

"Hey, Raizor," she said to get his attention.

Raizor looked at Lena, but she blushed as she remembered the situation they had before.

"Who is the person chasing you?" Lena asked after letting out a sigh.

"I figured you'd ask me that," Raizor replied with a smile as he sat in a chair.

"Actually, it's not like it's someone from another country since this guy isn't human as such," Raizor said, leaving Lena surprised by what he said.

"And before you ask, he's not a demon," Raizor said, preventing her from speaking.

"So what is he?" Lena asked curiously as she looked at him.

"It's hard to explain, but take as an example the story of a tale; in that story, there's a hero and a villain, right?" Raizor said as he stood up and looked out the airplane window, turning his back to Lena, who just nodded at his question.

"Well, that guy would be somewhat similar to the hero since he has an affinity with the light element, whose element is the opposite of mine," Raizor said, making Lena surprised as she had never heard of a person having an affinity with the light element.

"Of course, you have an affinity with the dark element," Lena said as she crossed her arms.

"Yes, but here's the question I want to see if you know the answer to: if he has an affinity with the light element and I have an affinity with the dark element, how do people see us?" Raizor asked as he turned around and looked at Lena with a smile.

Lena was confused until she thought about what Raizor told her about taking the story of a tale as an example, where there's a hero and a villain.

At that moment, Lena's eyes widened, and she looked at Raizor, who still had a sincere smile.

"They see him as a hero, while they see you as the villain," Lena said as she looked at him, surprised.

"Exactly, for the world, I'm a villain, and for the people, I'm the bad guy in the story," Raizor said, surprising Lena again.

"Although I always knew things were like this since after all, I was born with an affinity for the dark element," Raizor said as he looked away.

"That also means that one of us has to die, right?" Lena asked as she clenched her fists and lowered her head.

Raizor noticed that and approached Lena with a smile, taking her hands to calm her down, causing her to lift her head and look at Raizor directly in the eyes.

"As true as that may be, I won't die from that, I assure you, Lena," Raizor said as he held Lena's hand, causing her to blush a little.

"Do you promise?" Lena asked as she looked at him intently, to which Raizor just smiled.

"Yes, I promise—" Raizor couldn't finish as Lena kissed him, surprising him at the same time as he didn't expect that. When they separated, both blushed.

"Maybe for the world, you're the bad guy, but for me, you're the guy who stole my heart since I was a child," Lena said with a smile, making Raizor blush.

"Wow, it finally happened," a voice was heard from the door, a voice that Lena recognized instantly.

"E-Euphi!?" Lena said, embarrassed, but in contrast, Raizor wasn't embarrassed as he always knew Euphi was there.

"Not bad, Lena, and here I thought you didn't like anyone, hehe," Euphi said as she approached Lena, who was embarrassed.

"Why did you come, Euphi?" Raizor asked as he smiled and looked at her.

"Well, because we've arrived in Japan," Euphi said as she showed Lena out the window that they had arrived.

"Well, I suppose it's time to wake up the rest," Raizor said as the other two nodded.

After they woke everyone up, they looked out the windows as the whole academy, besides each one's family, was waiting for them, but above all, the principal was smiling to see them arrive.

The plane landed, and the doors opened, allowing the whole team to get off. As soon as they got off, all the relatives went to hug the kids, while the principal went with the other three.

"I'm glad to see you three again," Sara said after giving them a hug, surprising the rest of the people there except Lena and her friends, who smiled.
