???: No way, that kids the Hero?
???: Poor child.
Ryueki: I-Impossible!
As the Demon Knight Bout Tournament has begun, the first round where Kaneki and Ryueki was about to begin.
Until Kaneki had made his entrance and reveal to the entire world that he was the Hero of Hell and Atlantis.
Leaving everyone who was watching stunned and confused.
Some were pitying him.
???: What had this world have become? To make a kid fight from a young age?
Some were in denial.
???: No! This can't be possible! There's no way that HE'S the Hero!
And some were very confused.
Keiko: H-Hey Itsuki, didn't you jokingly asked Kaneki if he was the Hero last month?
Itsuki: I DIDN'T EXPECTED IT TO BE TRUE!!! WHAT THE HELL?! WHY DIDN'T HE TOLD US?!
Natsuki: ...
Sachi: ...
Chikao: ...
Seeing that they weren't reacting, Itsuki and Keiko began questioning them.
Keiko: wait you girls knew about this?!
Sachi: we only discovered his identity last night.
Keiko: What?!
Itsuki: He was active last night?
Natsuki: Correct.
Itsuki: How come we didn't heard of this? No wait, what was he even doing last night?
Keiko: Yeah what was he up to?
Both Itsuki and Keiko didn't know what was going on, as they haven't heard from the girls about what happened to Kaneki.
All 3: ...
So they didn't answer.
Natsuki then looked at Kaneki and used her ability to look into his soul.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(So dark... Kaneki's been completely tainted...)
Seeing how dark and sad his soul was.
Tear*
Tears began down rolling down her eyes to her cheeks.
Keiko: Hey Natsuki, it's alright Kaneki's going to win this.
Natsuki: ...
"Now then... Let's begin shall we?"
Keiko: oh looks like the Ass-beating is about to begin.
Itsuki: Yeah, after this I'm going to confront Kaneki about keeping his secret from us.
Sachi & Chikao: ...
Meanwhile*
Shino: ... It's going to begin...
Yuuka: I can't watch...
Miku: Onii-chan...
In the Higanbana residence Shino, Yuuka and Miku were getting more and more stressed as they knew that they might see him die.
Miku: I'll turn off the T.v.
Obviously they didn't want to watch Kaneki die, so Miku was about to turn off the T.v, until.
Another message appeared in the screen.
"Don't lose hope, We will not let Kaneki-chan die."
Miku: What's with these messages?
Shino: Don't give us false hope...
Yuuka: Just turn the T.v off already...
All 3 of them had completely lost hope.
Miku: I know.
And as Miku was about to turn off the T.v
Wriggle~!
All 3: What?!
Suddenly tentacles appeared and restrained the 3 of them and sat them on the sofa.
Shino: W-Where did these things came from?!
Yuuka: Please! We just don't want to see Kaneki die! Please let us go!
Miku: don't give any of us false hope... Onii-chan's going to die...
The 3 of them began crying, but another message appeared on the screen.
"Don't lose hope, trust in us we won't let Kaneki-chan die"
Shino: Who even are you?!
Yuuka: Why are you giving us false hope?!
Miku: Why do you keep insist on us watching Onii-chan's death?!
The 3 girls were upset, they didn't know who was trying to give them hope and they don't trust that person.
"I am someone who has helped you in the past and even now, Miku had seen me a while back'
Miku: No way...
As Miku read the Message, she had remembered.
Miku: are you that robot?!
And a response immediately appeared in the screen.
"Correct and I was the voice that gave you girls advice when you all needed it"
All 3: !!!
"I won't tell you who I am, because it's too early. But just know this. I am not going to let Kaneki-chan die"
Shino: How can you even stop him? He's going to kill himself and erase himself...
Yuuka: Yeah... He can't even hear anyone anymore.
Miku: How do you even plan on making him stop?
"You have to just watch and see"
The Message then disappeared and the announcer's voice came out from the T.v
"Now then... Let's begin shall we?"
Yuuka: It's about to Start...
Miku: Onii-chan...
Shino: Kaneki..
Back in the Stadium*
Ryueki: So what that you are the Hero of Hell and Atlantis?! I ain't letting you have Natsuki!
???: Yeah! You tell him Ryueki-sama!
???: Crush that Monster!
???: Kill him!
Many girls were cheering for Ryueki.
Ryueki: Heh!
Kaneki: ...
But Kaneki wasn't responding.
Natsuki, Sachi & Chikao: Kaneki...
Natsuki, Sachi and Chikao wanted to cheer Kaneki on but... Seeing his state and knowing that he is trying to kill himself, they couldn't bring themselves to do so.
Itsuki: GO GET HIM KANEKI!
Keiko: Crush that egotistical bastard!
Itsuki and Keiko then started cheering for Kaneki.
Tsukuyumi: Go get em Sensei!
Arin: Rip him to shreds!
Claudia: Show him why I gave you the title, Hero of Atlantis!
Drako: Show him your power that Surpasses even Demon Lords!
???: Destroy that Womanizer Sensei!
???: Yeah! Those girls attacked is for no reason! Show them who's boss!
Schwartz: Yeah! Trash that guy that those girls are obsessed with!
Harada: Kick Itadori-san's ass!
???: Higanbana-san! Thank you for saving me back then! I hope you win!
???: Go get him Hero-san!
Kaneki's Students, Acquaintances, the people he has beaten and even the people he had saved in the past began cheering him on.
There were so many cheering for Kaneki.
Natsuki: Wow there's so many showing support to Kaneki.
Sachi: Yeah, I'm really surprised.
Chikao: I hope Kaneki could hear them.
In the Higanbana residence*
Miku: So many people...
Shino & Yuuka: Kaneki...
Back in the Stadium*
Ryueki: Tch!
Ryueki was not happy hearing many people.
Ryueki: Oi! Higanbana! Let's make a contract! If I win you will be forbidden to come close to Natsuki again!
Ryueki didn't hesitate to ask for a contract.
Kaneki: ...
But Kaneki didn't respond, but being the dumbass he is.
Ryueki: I'll take that as a yes!
He thought Kaneki agreed.
"Combatants are you ready?"
Ryueki: Obviously!
Kaneki: ...
"Fight."
Ryueki: Here I come!
As the Battle begun, Ryueki began charging at Kaneki.
Burst!
