Chapter 168 - "Humans were Born to Inherit the Stars"

*booom*

Nonon: did you forget about me? they call us the elite four because there's four of us!

Nonon destroyed nudist beach HQ.

Ryuko: woah!

Satsuki: …!

satsuki and ryuko evade to the side as varakiel pulls mako.

Nonon comes out from the ground.

Nonon: lady satsuki, i've destroyed the nudist beach base as per your orders.

Satsuki: well done. with that, we have crushed the group of fools that opposed us. the objective of the tri-city schools raid trip has been accomplished. there is no need whatsoever to rescind my order to return home.

Ryuko: oi…

Varakiel: i have to admit i don't like these exhibitionist perverts so i am fine with it.

Ryuko: oh, right they are perverts...

Satsuki then rides her helicopter.

Satsuki: i compliment you on your valiant efforts, Ryuko matoi.

Ryuko: there she goes with the formalities again….

Satsuki: but your attack was no more than a sneak attack. it will not work next time!

Ryuko: heh, we'll see about that next time.

ryuko waves her hand at satsuki.

Satsuki: *smirk*

mako, ryuko, aikuro and tsumugu were left alone.

Tsumugu: this cost us most of nudist beach's forces.

aikuro: still, we should be grateful that we're alive. you fought satsuki kiryuin to a draw. that was impressive, ry—

Varakiel tentacles suddenly twist aikuro exposed nipples.

Aikuro: owowowwoo!!

Varakiel: "Put some damn clothes you damn pervert!"

Ryuko:....

Mako:..ow, that must hurt a lot.

Varakiel: "now, are you gonna finally speak?"

Aikuro: ouch!...*cof* i gave you my word. it's time to tell you everything.

Ryuko:.....*sigh* now i am not sure if i want to know what a pervert like you is planning.

meanwhile on the helicopter.

Satsuki: guh! *pant* *pant*

satsuki kneels on the ground exhausted.

Soroi: mistress!, shiro!

Iori: Right away!

iori then spews a tranquilizer into satsuki.

Soroi: that was a tranquilizing coagulant, please undress right now while you still can.

Satsuki: *pant* thank you.

...…

junketsu in nailed to the wall.

soroi was purring a cup of tea to satsuki.

Satsuki sits on her chair exhausted.

Satsuki: *pant*

Soroi: your level of exhaustion is greater than before. it is unsafe to remain in life fiber override mode for extended periods. luckily for you varakiel-sama handed me over the medicine he gave both of you in your harsh training, i put it on your tea please drink it and you'll feel as new again.

Satsuki:.....i wonder if there's nothing sensei can't do. i was actually aware that he gave it to you, he knows how stubborn i am when it comes to my ambition. he, he's a good man, i wonder what lead him to turn into a kamui…..

satsuki then remembers the days of the training week.

1st day after ryuko and satsuki beat the easy difficulty. satsuki was trying to beat the normal difficulty by herself.

Satsuki: *pant* *pant* *tsk* i still can't do it.

Varakiel: "now now, satsuki, you're pushing yourself way too far, like i told, if you want to beat this training you must do it together"

Satsuki: i satsuki kiryuin won't rely on anyone!

Varakiel: "then you are doomed to fail."

Satsuki: what? wasn't it you that said that humans will inherit the stars or something like that? what a pathetic men that can ho–

Varakiel: "yes humans will inherit the stars, H-U-M-A-N-S, you're missing the most important part, there are barriers than a human can't beat by itself, only by working with other human those barrier can weaken and be break through."

Satsuki: preposterous are you implying that i should work together with ryuko matoi? never, i will never rely on someone.

Varakiel: "do you mean it?"

Satsuki: yes.

Varakiel: *sigh* this girl has a lot of work to do.

the next day of the training week.

Ryuko:*pant* oi, kiryuin what are you doing? *pant*

Satsuki: *pant* shut up, i am doing this myself *pant*

Ryuko: *tsk* so stubborn.

Ryuko stands up from the floor and extends her hand to satsuki.

but satsuki slaps it away.

Satsuki: i can do it myself.

Satsuki stands up and walks 

Ryuko: what a bitch…

Varakiel: give her time, this must be the first time she has failed so much. she must be pretty frustrated.

Ryuko: *sigh* talk about being silver spooned.

that afternoon.

Satsuki: *pant* why i can't do it!

Satsuki slams her fist in the ground.

*pat* *pat*

something pats satsuki's head.

Satsuki: uh?

Varakiel: "pretty frustrating right?"

Satsuki: you again....yes, it's frustrating.

Varakiel: "but you still won't give up don't you? why is that?"

Satsuki: if i give up then it means my ambition is mere decoration.

Varakiel: "do you see like that? as decoration?"

Satsuki:....

Varakiel: "let me tell you something satsuki, if you keep this path you will remain alone."

Satsuki: hmph i'm fine with that i don't need to rely on anyone.

Varakiel: "no one will listen to your ideas, your dreams, your history, no one will remember who you are no matter how much you shine away from them, just like a star you will die and then poof, you would be forgotten"

Satsuki:...
