Class S: The Warring period (3rd year saga)

Chapter 261: The Purple Emperor

Yamato POV

Let me ask you a question.

Are human beings truly equal? 

In a society like this? 

Where modern people cry out for such a thing?

Such an idea is but a false dream. 

A fanciful thought. 

Human beings can never be equal no matter how much progress has occurred. 

Humans are fragile. 

Not just humans, but society as a whole. 

Like all children before me, I've been through the White Room experiment. 

I was formerly part of the 5th generation. 

I showed potential like most who have proven themselves. 

However...

It didn't take long until I've lost myself. 

After being eliminated by a certain person.

I was never the same. 

It was an unbearable experience to be eliminated from a place that I now call home. 

That became the worst day of my childhood. 

But to my shock.

As if God himself intervened. 

I was given a second chance. 

I thought this harsh place doesn't give second chances. 

But here we are. 

I was one of the six that was chosen for this 6th generation program. 

I didn't think there was a 6th generation that even existed. 

But that man told me he saw potential in me. 

That I could be someone who can be on the same level as the Masterpiece. 

That man wanted to create more children similar to that Masterpiece because he has only been able to create one. 

He believed that this 6th generation program could be the key to creating more masterpieces. 

A much more difficult curriculum. 

Harsher training. 

And tests that go beyond that of college level.

The 6th generation according to him was made in order to match the only survivor of the 4th generation himself.

Well, at least one of the survivors. 

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

We've been subjected to what the 4th generation went through but on the extreme scale. 

It truly was a horrific experience. 

That's what my entire life has been. 

I don't even remember my life outside of the White Room. 

All I remember is that I was living in the slums.

That's all there is to it. 

I have no past before the White Room. 

My entire life has been nothing but pain.

I've heard nothing but the suffering and screams of children.

I've known nothing but the feeling of darkness. 

That was the life that I continue to live. 

A life full of darkness.
