Red String of Fate

Chapter 5: I'm Getting Nerfed?

"Got it."

"So, I can't use them in battle huh?! Well, never said anything about indirectly using them and using them for things other than fighting. Besides, limiting myself on purpose, not only will fights now be a bit more exciting, but it is the ultimate disrespect to not use your full power against them. Although, I should train and learn the other Authorities as quickly as possible for the foreseeable future", Dante said mentally.

"Indeed, right now, learning the other Authorities and further honing your magic is top priority as we don't know what to expect once we make it to Karakura Town and further into the Soul Society. We should be prepared for an inevitable fight", Echidna said mentally.

As Dante left to go to his room, we go back to the ketchup hair-stained hoe and the perverted blue haired spy and their conversation.

"So, he's an orphan then", Ryūko discovered.

"Yes, he lived in an orphanage at Summerdale, Philadelphia where he was then arrested and sent to a juvenile detention center for several years. He was then released after an innocence program worked to get him free, however before he was freed, he was attacked by more than 60 other juveniles", Mikisugi explained.

"Damn, 60 at the same time?"

"Yep, however, it was revealed that he was poisoned with rat poison before they attacked him."

"So, it was a coordinated effort huh?"

"It wasn't enough however as he was actually winning. It wasn't until he was about to kill one of them that the guards jumped in to do anything and they actually tackled him into a table and caused him to go into a coma. The guards and juveniles were charged with attempted murder, it would have been negligence and aggravated assault, but that was off the table once it was discovered there was poison in his system."

"They actually tried to kill him, and the guards did nothing? I may not like the guy, but that's fucked up."

"Indeed. He then woke up not too long later and after he recovered, he received 10 million dollars as compensation."

"So, he's rich as well, anything else?"

"I'm sure you've also heard about Nightfall?" Ryūko shivered a bit before nodding.

"Y-Yeah, I've heard about it."

"Then you should know that he is on a completely different level to the Elite Four and even Satsuki herself. I don't say this to belittle you, but you do not have the strength to go against them, even with Senketsu."

"Oh yeah, about him, what the hell is he?"

"He is a Kamui and a Kamui is made of Life Fibers."

"Life Fibers?"

"Yes, and I knew your father."

"You know my father!?"

"Yes, I was his assistant and I have infiltrated this school under the guise of a teacher, also I ask that you keep this under wraps."

"Just one more question, why the hell did he make Senketsu that way."

"Chalk it up to your father's taste. Also, look, if you are really going to find your father's killer, you need to steel yourself. Normally I would say to abandon your mission, but...I know you won't after what happened."

"But...what if..."

"They kill you?"

"Yeah."

"Well, then I guess you were never really serious about avenging your father's death."

"Tch! What'd you say!"
