Chapter 106 - Chapter 106: Hero and Personal Desire

*Alexbold is shown in the doctor covered in bandage*

Shun: Why do you have that face?

Alexbold: I failed... Not only could I not catch it, many of my colleagues died in that explosion

Shun: Is that all?

*Alexbold is shown annoyed and confused*

Alexbold: What the hell are you talking about?

Shun: Are you going to sit around with your arms crossed and curse because you failed? Are you going to mourn over their graves weeping because you couldn't save them?

Alexbold: *With an annoyed look* Shut your mouth, you don't understand this, you've always cared about others, you're a monster

Shun: Yes, it's true, so what? Do you want me to burst into tears? No, I look for the wretch who did this and make him pay for everything. The last thing your teammates would want would be for you to regret a mistake that no one expected, we were unaware of Blackbeard's powers. However, they took the mission despite the risks, don't make their effort and sacrifice lose their meaning because of your incompetence

*Alexbold is shown very frustrated*

Shun: Get up and fight, just like they did

*Alexbold is shown with tears streaming down his face*

Shun: I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're carrying a heavy weight now. The weight of all your dreams and hopes. However, you don't have to carry it alone, if you do, you will only fall into an endless abyss; And believe me, I still don't know what's at the end of that abyss

*Shun throws a map at Alexbold*

Shun: We'll leave tomorrow morning... This time it's your turn to choose, Alexbold

*Alexbold is shown watching Rukia and Iseli in the ER*

Alexbold: Why? Why you two?

A familiar voice: I told you, you had to die, you were worthless, Alexbold

*Alexbold sees Clarileo standing in front of him*

Alexbold: What are you doing here?

Clarileo: I told you, if only you had died at that moment, this would not have happened. Someone more qualified would have taken your place and they weren't fighting between life and death right now because of your incompetence

Alexbold: Shut your mouth

Clarileo: You are just a failure, you have no value, you can't protect anyone, or don't you remember that night where you let her die?

*Alexbold remembers a river of blood and several screams of suffering come to his head*

*Images of a person being attacked by a pack of gigantic wolves are shown*

Alexbold: Shut up!

Clarileo: You did not protect her, you let her die; And this time, it's been the same

*A being made of blood begins to climb up Alexbold's body wondering why he let her die*

Alexbold: I... I...

*Alexbold begins to show himself destroyed and falls to his knees as the being begins to absorb him*

Alexbold: I... must... die

Eden: Iseli Really Loves You

*Alexbold's mental image begins to break as he looks up and observes Eden next to him*

Alexbold: Eden...

*Alexbold's mental image is shattered and he stares at Eden*

Eden: What's going on? Do I have something on my face?

Alexbold: No...

Eden: I'm sorry you have to go through all this, Alexbold

Alexbold: I was weak again... I couldn't protect them, I couldn't protect anyone again

Eden: *With a small smile* I understand you perfectly... That night I couldn't protect my grandfather

Alexbold: What?

Eden: Even though he had powers I couldn't do anything, I could only watch as those damned ones hurt him while I froze watching. However, he protected me without caring about his own life. I don't really know what it is to love, I don't know if he is really my grandfather, to this day I still think if I am really who I thought I was recently, but I don't care about all that, I don't care if he was my grandfather or not, he loves me, more than anyone, not everyone would be willing to give their life for you

Alexbold: Eden...

Eden: Until recently I thought you and I looked alike, but that's not the case. Since that night I haven't thought about anything other than my grandfather, I really don't care about Black Lights' actions, or how many people have died because of their actions, I just hate them for having taken my grandfather from me. However, you are different, you think of all those who have fallen, you are frustrated that you did not save them, you are a great guy. Please don't change. I trust you, hero

*Alexbold is surprised by Alexbold's words*

Eden: I'm sure they're fighting right now, don't do anything crazy, I'm sure they're looking forward to your return, if you think of doing something stupid I'll kick your ass, got it?

*Alexbold lets out a small smile as he turns his gaze to Iseli*

Alexbold: You're a great guy, more than you think

*Shun is shown in a classroom with several classmates*

List of companions: Joan of Arc, Eden, Tiresias, Achilles, Artemis, Ares and Alexbold

Shun: *Think* That look is different, I like it

Shun: It looks like we're all here now, it's time to leave for Death Island

Alexbold: *Think* Blackbeard, we'll see you soon
