After classes ended, the six of them remained inside the classroom.
The five stayed behind, heads bowed in fear, shoulders trembling.
Akira reached into his pocket and casually pulled out his cellphone. With a calm swipe, he played a video.
He turned the screen toward the five of them.
It was the video of everything that had happened between him and Hori that night.
Hori's eyes instantly filled with tears as the footage played. His face crumpled in utter humiliation.
Yuri, overwhelmed by rage, could no longer hold back. He lunged forward and threw a powerful punch straight into Akira's stomach.
But the moment his fist connected, the force reflected back. Yuri recoiled violently, clutching his own abdomen in agony as if he had punched himself.
Hori broke down into loud, uncontrollable sobs.
Akira, on the other hand, watched the scene with clear enjoyment. A wide, amused grin spread across his face before he burst into loud, mocking laughter, as if their suffering was the most entertaining thing he had ever seen.
The group burned with fury toward Akira, yet their faces were also etched with deep regret. For the first time, they truly realized what it felt like to be the ones being toyed with.
Yuri, still writhing in pain from his reflected punch, fell to his knees and begged desperately.
"I'm begging you, Akira… Please, that's enough!" Tears streamed down his face. "We know we did a lot of terrible things to you. I swear… we won't do it again. Please!"
Akito followed, dropping to his knees as well. "I promise I'll step down from my position. We're really sorry for everything we've done. We swear we won't repeat any of it!"
While they pleaded and groveled, Akira simply smiled — a cold, emotionless smile.
Their pain and desperate begging were nothing more than entertainment to him.
"Please, Akira… I can't take this anymore. Stop this already," Yuri continued, still on his knees, voice breaking. "You already took my girlfriend's body. I finally understand what it feels like to be played with. Please… forgive us. I'm begging you."
Akira's laughter grew even louder. His eyes suddenly flared with demonic crimson light as he revealed his true, monstrous gaze.
"Sorry," he said coldly, his voice dripping with malice, "but I don't feel any pity for you humans. To me, you are nothing but toys. I don't care how much you suffer or how many other students you've hurt."
"I don't care how many sins you commit. Because it's you humans and your sins that make us stronger."
"And right now, you are just my toys. There's nothing you can do about it anymore."
His words carried a terrifying aura. The entire classroom suddenly darkened, as if swallowed by an unnatural shadow. The air grew heavy and suffocating.
Akira grinned wickedly.
The five of them shook violently in fear.
His crimson, razor-sharp eyes scanned over them one by one.
"So… who should I play with next?"
Akira threw his head back and laughed loudly, the sound echoing through the darkened room.
The five trembled uncontrollably.
Just as suddenly as it had come, the darkness vanished. The classroom returned to normal.
Still laughing, Akira walked out of the room and casually closed the door behind him.
Left behind, the five wore expressions of overwhelming regret for everything they had done.
But it was already too late.
The next day, the video of Hori spread like wildfire throughout the entire school. It became the hottest topic of gossip and shock.
Hori, consumed by intense trauma and crushing depression, chose to end his own life.
Yuri, his boyfriend, followed soon after.
The entire school was stunned by the news.
Within just one month, a chain of events unfolded.
Because of their deaths, many students finally found the courage to come forward and report the group's long history of cruelty, harassment, and bullying.
While all of this happened, Akira simply smiled quietly, clearly satisfied with the chaos he had caused.
In the following days, the remaining three also took their own lives — driven by overwhelming fear and the realization that they no longer knew how to escape their nightmare.
Because of the overwhelming evidence — including videos — that exposed the group's widespread bullying of many students, the school drastically tightened its rules and regulations.
Students became far more aware and careful when choosing who to elect into the student council.
Many students openly celebrated the deaths of the five, saying they deserved everything that happened to them.
Even the Principal could not believe what his own son, Chotto, had done. Overwhelmed by shame, he eventually resigned from his position.
Through all of this, Akira's power grew even stronger because of the despair and sin he had sown.
Almost one year passed.
Akira committed countless crimes.
Manipulation. Torture. Murder.
To him, everything was nothing more than pure pleasure.
He could do whatever he wanted… as long as humans continued to wallow in their sins.
