The Rise Of Calamity

Army Base

"You called for me, Major General Galibiur?" A low-pitched voice came from the other side of the door.

"Yes, Deros! Come in my boy" Jack hurriedly called Deros, my father, in with a jovial voice.

Opening the door slightly, a tall shredded man covered in sweat walked in. He had green and blue eyes that constantly shifted in color, whole his dirty blonde hair draped down to his forehead.

"Yes Major General?" Deros Stood straight and tensed, not moving a muscle without the command of the Major general.

"Don't be so tensed my boy. I have something to tell you actually!" Jack put in a large grin showing all his white teeth while scratching his white beard.

"Something to tell me?" Deros furrowed his brows and nodded at Jack to continue.

"First sit down and tell me how Ava is doing. Has she finally come to her senses?" Asked jack with a hint of worry on his face.

"Well, I wouldn't say she had fully realized what she had done. She is getting a lot better though after I proposed a divorce back then. Now she is a lot more level headed even though she still thinks Panni was in the wrong..." My dad solemnly spoke, dropping his gaze closer and close to the floor after every word.

"Hmm... I see. Anyway, I am not sure if the news I am about to tell you is going to ruin your mood even further or make you happy. Honestly, you can take it either way..." Jack masterfully changed the topic so he wouldn't have to deal with the depressed man in front of him

"How so?" Deros' curiosity had been captured

"Well, firstly, I'd like to say that I would not usually tell you this because I had promised Pandora that no one other than me would know. However, the only way I can get her into the army by the age of 10 is by having you know earlier rather than later, so you have time to speak to her and not freak out..."

"Just get to the point already" My father had gotten a little agitated, making him completely forget that the person in front of him was a Major General, contrary to the way he had just talked to him.

"Ahem... Uhm... Well, back when we were in Aqua city, Pandora had left to find do something and at the same time, I had gotten some information from some of my informants in the stadium that some assassins had been hired to kill the kids with the most potential. So I decided to go and take care of it, but then when I got there, I saw Pandora fighting the groups, and mostly killing them."

Deros' eyes widened before his face contorted into a frown. This has to be a lie right? How could Pandora, his daughter, a girl who had only been killed a day before then kill so many people with ease

"And that was not all... When she fought, she used fire, lightning and earth magic." Jack paused to regain his breath

"So?" Retorted Deros, more agitated than before.

"Well, uhm... She was using the light element too" Jack finally let the words out, making Deros go into a daze.

Lagua city

*Achoo*

A girl with short blonde hair walked through the streets, looking around at the different stores with interest and curiosity.

She wore a white turtle neck that was attached to the neck and covered down to the naval waist. It did hide her magnificent curves as it stuck tightly to her chest, nor covered her shoulders, leaving them bare down to the forearms which were covered with tight black clothes and protective bracelets. Below the naval area was a black short skirt with the cut on the side, showing a little too much skin for her liking.

The skirt would drape down to her knees, where black stockings could be seen worn with a portion covered with calf protective braces. A tight ponytail that allowed her bangs to hang over her forehead while dancing around after every step, a bit like what would happen to her breasts if they were not so tightly wrapped in a bandage.

An exquisite green cloak enveloped around her, but not fully, making sure the clothing that was worn underneath the cloak could be seen.

Yes... that person is me, and I hate to say it, but the dressing is part of the plan.

[And how exactly is this going to work] Analysis chimed in as if reading my thoughts

'Well, the plan is that I have to seduce everyone into thinking that I am innocent. Women all around Earth had done it for centuries, I doubt it wont work for me' I sighed while moving my skirt a little to cover the slit.

[That doesn't sound very innocent] It chuckled

'Shut up... Please... Men hear what they want to hear, and men see what they want to see. That is exactly what is happening 80% of the time, not including gay people, old people, and children. Old people have simply wakened up to these schemes, while children are too innocent. The middle-aged to young adult spectrum are the ones with this problem meaning they need a good slap from lady reality to realize what their purpose in this world is' I replied with a little bit of pride

[So... Are you part of the old group or the ones who are victims of a reality slap?]

'...'

[...]

'No matter how robotic and monotone your voice is, I could still feel the condescending tone from your voice' The innocent smile I was portraying to the world twitched slightly.

After finally taking my mind off the annoying voice of the thing in my head, I finally looked around and saw an old man walking across the street. Of course, due to me being so pure and innocent, I had decided to walk up to the old man and ask-

"Do you need help, Grampa?" I tiled my head a few degrees to the left while the innocent, attractive, and approachable smile did not leave my face for a single second.

The man just looked at me for a few seconds before narrowing his eyes in suspicion. However, he did not waste another second before giving me his bags/groceries and snarling "Hold these".

He practically threw the bags at me as if I was his personal maid, making me think of 20 ways that I could kill him with the maximum pain I could afflict him, both mentally and physically.
