《Eczius》 Ch.1: Strange Monster Ch.1: Strange Monster A new day for Akihiro as he wakes up on the sound of birds chirping, and gets out of bed to get ready for a new day at his school. - Akihiro: All right, I''m ready. He goes out and walks to his school as it''s not far from his home. He meets his friend ,Akio, on his way ¡­ - Akio calling : Hoi! Akihiro. Akihiro looks at him without saying anything - Akio: How are you? - Akihiro: like yesterday - Akio wondering : Can''t you speak without riddles and say a direct answer - Akihiro as he looks to him : Hmmm ... No. - Akio laughs: What a weirdo !! Classes started as usual and lunchtime came. - Akihiro to Akio: I''m going to buy food. - Akio happy: I¡¯m coming with you. They went to the dining room and find a large gathering in front of the restaurant. Akio tried to order the food and Akihiro went to reserve seats. - Akio tired: It worked. I think that''s how I need a tribute to this job. - Akihiro: hmmm... Ok, good job - Akio dissatisfied : Haaa?! Is that the best you can do? - Akio completes depressed: Well, I don''t expect much from you in these things. Akio and Akihiro sat down to eat their food. Akio looked to Akihiro but he dropped his eyes quickly as Akihiro noticed him.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. - Akihiro: Is there something you want to talk about?! - Akio hesitant: hmmm... Haven''t you woken your own ability yet? - Akihiro: No.. Don''t worry, I''m not in a hurry. Otherwise, I don''t care about joining that organization and defending the Earth. They won''t stop on me to protect the earth.. - Akio sadly : But it is our duty to protect the Earth, it is the only place we can live. As long as you have the ability to protect people, why did you choose to sit and watch?! - Akihiro: Well, that says to those who have the power, I don''t. When I get my ability , you can tell me this speech.. - Akio broken: That''s right. I''m sorry. - Akihiro: Never mind, I don''t care. You''re my friend at the end. - Akio is excited: Yes... The day when we will stand together as we protect this earth will come definitely. Both of them finished their food and the bell rang to complete the lessons so they went back to class to finish their remaining lessons. The lessons are over and it''s time to go home. Akio: Akihiro, come with me to the park for a little walk . - Akihiro: Well, no problem Came out of their school and walking up to the park - Akihiro: Regarding our talk about the Earth and the protection of people. I have a special belief in this subject. - Akio curiously: What is it?! - Akihiro: Human beings, most of them are the curse of this planet. They pollute it. They destroy its beauty. They''re spreading the blood on the ground. They blow up and destroy. - Akio: Well, you said it yourself, most of them, not all of them. Yes humans are not better than humans in the past but why generalize the result and punish everyone... The sinner is held accountable and the good is thanked and honored for his right deeds. You can say "good and bad", but this is a big human mistake . Many people are wronged and when they ask why they are being held accountable for the mistakes of others, they say to them the bad prevail. In order to live with a pure and clean heart, you must not wait for anyone to thank you for your actions. Don''t hold a grudge against anyone or hate someone for not treating you as you treat him or deny a favor of you ... You have the right to hate him, but you will never rest like this. Rest your mind and do not care about these negative emotions¡­ Akihiro looks a little bit to him and then smiles¡­ - Akihiro smiley: Idiot - Akio surprising: Ha?! Why?! - Akihiro smiling: You can''t express yourself well. They got to the park and walk in it, but suddenly they hear a strange voice inside the forest next to the park. Someone screaming and asking for help. The boys went to the source of the sound but they were surprised at what they saw. A huge macho beast... His face seems to be alien and he doesn''t seem peaceful at all . - Akio: I have to help him. Stay here, Akihiro. - Akihiro: How can I leave you like this? - Akio Smiley: Don''t worry... And you don''t have powers, you weak idiot. He stick his tongue out to soften the air because he didn''t know how strong that beast whom stand in front of him and looked at the beast with his defiant looks .. Strong fight will happen. Will Akio be a good match to this beast?! And who is this beast?! To be continued¡­ Ch.2: An Unwelcoming Return Ch.2: An Unwelcoming Return Akio stands in front of an indefinite danger.. He gets ready to any sudden attack from that monster.. -Akio: Akihiro, When I start clashing with it, take this man and run away.. -Akihiro: I''m not leaving you alone like that. -Akio: Don''t wor- Suddenly, the monster appears in front of Akio and everyone get shocked, it hits Akio so hard with his arm that he flew back and stops hardly, luckily he defended himself with his hand thereby reducing strike force.. Akihiro screaming Akio''s name.. -Akihiro: Akioooo, are you alright?!! -Akio in pain: Don''t worry, I protected myself at the last minute.. -Akio thinking: ( What a speed !! I could barley notice its presence in front of me , even its strike was so powerful.. what is that monster?) -Akihiro: I will help you, Akio -Akio shouting: I told you to take that man and leave. Listen to me.. Akihiro is shocked with Akio''s reaction cause he never saw him angry like this before.. -Akihiro sad: Alright, you got this.. Akihiro takes the man and runs in order to stay away from the fighting area, and Akio is looking to the monster angry and confused, waiting for it to start with its next move, but it stood still as it telling him that it''s its turn to see what Akio is going to do against it.. -Akio smiling: Well then, I''ll show you my ability.. Akio radiates and the wind starts circling around him, and the flames begin to ignite suddenly surrounding his whole body, from all directions .. ( at the main time) Akihiro is running with the man to get far and to ask for help.. -The man: Is your friend going to be ok?! -Akihiro: I really don''t know.. - Akihiro thinking: (I''m still worried about Akio, I can''t leave him like that, I must go back.) -Akihiro: You go to get help and I am going back to help my friend.. -The man: Alright, don''t worry , but don''t die before I come with help.. - Akihiro smiling: We aren''t the ones who die so easily.. The two separated and Akihiro runs back to Akio..Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. ( In the fighting zone / area ) -Akio smiling: Meet my ability ¡° Tin No Hi ¡° . Burn with my fire, beast.. Akio shoots strong flames as it is a strong fire canon towards the monster and a powerful explosion occurs. Heavy fire and smoke make it hard for Akio to see .. -Akio: I can''t see, did I get rid of it? Suddenly a strange laughter from the inside of the flames as the monster gets out of it laughing.. Akio is standing paralyzed and shocked from what he saw.. -The monster : That''s great, so you are one of those who possessed these ominous abilities. Seems I will have to take you down before you grow up, to not be an obstacle in our way to take over this planet again.. Akio gathers his strength and smiles confidently.. -Akio: So you can talk. Tell me who you are? And where did you come from? -The monster laughing: I''m a Bonsan, and we are one of the most powerful monsters in this universe, and you humans had suffered so much from us and you will keep suffering as long as we are alive as we won''t rest until we make you from the past .. After hearing this , Akio couldn''t find any thing to say and stands stunned.. -The monster: It''s not a problem to tell you my name as long as I kill you , my name is Atumizo.. Akio stands confused and sweats heavily before Atumizo and doesn''t know what to do with him.. -Atumizo: Hmm, you seem very confused, I like this, I''ll torture you before killing you , I want to hear you scream.. Akio trembles with fear but decides to fight even if he ends up dead.. -Akio smilingly definite Atumizo: I won''t let you torture me so easily. I''ll definitely end you.. Akio wraps his hand with fire attacking Atumizo directly with his fist but Atumizo avoided it. Akio continued the attack with his hands wrapped in flames bit Atumizo continued to avoid him until he hits Akio with his knee in his stomach, and Akio aches from the strike force and backs down to catch his breath.. -Atumizo: Oooh , you have backed down, do you understand now that you can''t fight me? Akio looks to him in pain and anger and he doesn''t respond with a word.. All of sudden, Atumizo quickly attacks with his leg and Akio barely sees him so he defends with his arm after wrapping it up in flames and flies back very quickly, Atumizo appears behind him and gives him a strong kick in the back that leads to him flying in the other direction very quickly to break three trees with his body and spit blood from the force of the strike.. Atumizo walks steadily towards Akio who has lost most of his strength and doesn''t have any power to stand leaning on the tree''s stem. Akihiro appears suddenly from among the tree¡¯s to find his friend Akio who has lost his strength and is threatened with death. Akihiro is screaming with Akio''s name as he is running towards Atumizo trying to do anything but Atumizo hits him with his hand making him fly away , lying on the ground and can''t stand.. -Akihiro: Leave my friend alone, you despicable beast . Leave him alo- Suddenly, Akihiro stops talking, the sparkle disappears from his eyes and he suddenly falls.. ( Inside Akihiro ) -An unknown voice: Hoi! Akihiro.. -Akihiro: Who''s there? -An unknown voice: I see that your friend is in danger. -Akihiro: Right, I have to help my friend, where is he? Take me back to him, I have to help him, he will die like this.. -An unknown voice: But you won''t be able to do any thing as you don''t have any ability.. -Akihiro: I don''t care, I''ll do anything to save my friend.. -An unknown voice: So what do you think about obtaining your ability now and saving your friend? -Akihiro: OK. I want my ability and I will do any thing to get it bit please I want it.. Akihiro hears around of laughter.. -An unknown voice: well Akihiro, I am your ability, so use me well and don''t disappoint me.. ( In the fighting area ) Atumizo holds Akio''s head to crush it.. -Atumizo : well, your time is up, I am bored, I thought I would have a good fight but it¡¯s the time for you to die.. All of sudden, Atumizo feels a very large force that suddenly emerged, and strong winds behind him. He looks back to find Akihiro standing with very strong winds around him. His large and irregular power makes wind hover strongly in the area.. -Atumizo: What''s this power?! It seems that he just discover it , but.. Atumizo felt that it¡¯s not a normal power and it is not easy to defeat it.. ( In another place ) -An unknown person 1 : sir, there is considerable force appearance but it¡¯s irregular.. -An unknown person 2: well, let''s go there to see who is the source of that power.. What will happen to Akihiro?.. And will he be able to defeat Atumizo with his ability?.. And who are those people who felt Akihiro''s power?.. To be continued... Ch.3: Dioborikita Ch.3: Dioborikita Atumizo stands shocked by this great power from Akihiro who stands steady and the skies are scattered around him. Atumizo feels like he will fly from the force of the power emerging from Akihiro, but he is trying to gather him self.. -Atumizo smiling: I did not know that you hide this power inside you.. Akihiro doesn''t respond to him preferring silence and decides to start the fight quickly to not regret afterwards. Akihiro disappears and suddenly appears in front of Atumizo and kicks him in his face, Atumizo flies to hit the trees and destroy them, and Akihiro holds Akio.. -Atumizo thinking : ( How painful this is ! From where does he have this power? I had to finish him quickly and don''t let him feel that he can beat me.) -Akihiro: Akio, ate you okay?! - Akio in pain: Akihiro? It seems that your ability has finally emerged.. Akio''s heart is filled with joy after reassuring that his friend has got his ability.. -Akihiro: Let me borrow your ability for awhile.. Akio smiles and nods that he agrees on this and closes his eyes.. So Akihiro carries him and puts him beside a tree to lean on it next to the area.. -Atumizo: You seem to be a strong opponent, even though it didn''t show on you before.. Akihiro looks to him with a challenging smile, feeling a huge amount of positive energy after seeing Akio''s smile, and a great confidence in himself.. -Akihiro: I will finish you quickly so I can get some rest.. Atumizo gets angry at Akihiro¡¯s words and feels a fire burning inside him because of Akihiro¡¯s mocking of him and because of his failure to frustrate Akihiro.. -Atumizo screaming: We will see who will finish the other one first , you weak worm.. The two attack each other and exchange fists and kicks in great speed. And Atumizo is thinking how could Akihiro be this fast suddenly. They retreat and separate their entanglement.. -Atumizo: How did you become so fast?! Akihiro smiling without saying anything.. ( Earlier within Akihiro) -An unknown voice: Your ability is ¡° Dioborikita ¡°, have you heard of it before? Akihiro is surprised by this talk, that of all the abilities, his share is this rare ability.. -Akihiro: I only know that it''s a rare ability and didn''t exist for along time.. -An unknown voice: Well, listen, this ability lets you copy any ability from anyone but for a limited-time , so you have to exploit that. Luckily you touched Atumizo so I stored his super speed and strengthened it a bit, I''ll release it now but remember it¡¯s time is limited so try to take advantage of this time.. ( Current time in the fighting area ) -Akihiro: Are you afraid or what?! Atumizo is angry at Akihiro¡¯s words bit quickly calms down and smiles..This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. -Atumizo: I will finish you quickly to calm down.. Atumizo attacks with his fist but Akihiro quickly avoids it and kicks him in his stomach, and Atumizo flies throw the air in pain thinking how to defeat this wild beast, but Akihiro appears above him and hits him with his hands in the back so he falls down hard to the ground. Akihiro stops in the air and gets furious when he remembers what Atumizo did to his friend.. -Akihiro: I''ll finish you off now with the ability of the one you tortured, you bastard.. Akihiro ignites his hands and arms, and multiple fire fists appear out of his arm.. -Akihiro: Taste ¡° Tingoko No Kin ¡°.. The fire fists hurtle and Atumizo horrifies by the sight of them and thinks that he is doomed. They hit Atumizo with multiple and powerful strikes which led to the collapse of the ground beneath him of its intensity. Akihiro stops and descends to the ground to find Atumizo on the edge of death.. -Atumizo speaking with difficulty: Know that I am nothing and I am not classified among the powerful groups. In easier words so your little mind can understand, I consider nothing compared to our weakest person, so don''t rejoice so much , you all are going to die.. Atumizo died after saying those words and Akihiro wasn''t affected by his words. Happiness fills Akihiro¡¯s heart as he was able to defeat Atumizo and avenge his friend.. -Akihiro : Huh! It seems that the abilities time is over, it''s good that I finished him off in time.. Akihiro goes to Akio and carries him. Akio wakes up to find Akihiro carrying him in his arms ,so he feels comfortable that his friend is okay.. -Akio: Looks like you eliminated him.. -Akihiro smiling: Thanks to your ability, I could finish him off, so let''s consider that you are the one who eliminated him.. Two anonymous people come suddenly from among the trees which shocked Akihiro and Akio. They were surprised by the destruction of the place and that the source of that force was from these kids.. -An anonymous person 2: Ooh , what a massive destruction! Wow, a member of the Bonsan has been eliminated by you!! -An anonymous person 1: They seem to be strong, sir.. Akihiro doesn''t know these men ,and his features / countenances are serious and focused to pick up any strange movement from them.. -Akihiro: Who are you? Are you with him? They admired Akihiro''s readiness for them and reservation.. -An anonymous person 2: Don''t worry, we''re against these foolish savages. I''ll introduce myself, I''m Hajime , the leader of the Orbikus. The other person is shocked from Hajime''s frankness and taking it easy.. -An anonymous person 1 angry: Sir, do you have to introduce yourself to everyone? It''s supposed to be confidential.. Hajime gets shocked and its registered on his face.. -Hajime ( the leader ) with looks and features of intelligence: Oh right , well, I''m not Hajime.. The other person falls on his head because of the stupidity he saw from his leader / boss .. -An anonymous person 1 surprised: Is that how you solved the problem? Huh, I apologise to you, our leader is weird. I am Hachiro, his deputy.. Akihiro and Akio look at them with a smile, and with looks that they are sympathetic to them , and thinking why they look like fools. Hachiro notices these looks so it hurts his heart.. -Hachiro ( The deputy): Haaa, why do you look at us like this? They return to their natural features and an aura of seriousness spreads among them.. -Akihiro and Akio: No- Nothing.. -Akihiro: Then , why did you come? -Hajime ( the leader ): We have noticed the strong power that suddenly appeared here so we decided to come to checkout its source.. -Akihiro: Well, I am its source. Are you satisfied now? I want to go to medicate my friend.. -Akio: Let us wait a bit to know what they want, do you know what it means to the leader of the organization to come to us?! Hajime feels happiness with Akio''s words and decides to look good.. -Hajime ( the leader ) with strong appearance, greatness and confidence: Yes, do you know what it means to come here by myself ?! Hachiro looks to Hajime with scorned and mockery features on his face.. -Hachiro ( The deputy) with looks of contempt: You keep going here and there , nothing special of you standing here.. Hajime is shocked and sad that he couldn''t live up to Akio''s expectations, and sits aside squatting with a gloomy atmosphere around him. And everybody looks at him in astonishment.. -Hajime ( the leader) mumbling: No one ever appreciated me, they are mean.. -Hachiro thinking: ( How this person is the leader of a global organisation that protects the planet.) Hachiro returns to his serious features.. -Hachiro ( The deputy) : We want you to come with us to the organization.. Akio feels that his dream had approached him by many steps and he must exploit this opportunity that doesn''t come every day.. -Akio joyfully: Really?! This is awesome , let''s go Akihiro.. Akihiro is surprised with Akio''s quick reaction of approval.. -Akihiro: Hoi, Akio, let us know why first.. -Akio: It doesn''t matter Akihiro, trust them they aren''t bad, they risk their lives for us.. Akihiro remembers that Akio''s dream is to join that organization.. -Akihiro: Huh. Well Akio, let''s go, but Hachiro you must medicate him.. Hachiro is happy with this.. -Hachiro ( The deputy): Don''t worry, we will provide treatment for him and he is going to be better.. -Hajime ( the leader ) excitedly: Alright, let''s go.. Akihiro is surprised with the radical change with Hajime¡¯s statue.. -Akihiro yelling: Weren''t you miserable just now ! Hajime and Hachiro take both Akihiro and Akio to the organization.. What they want from them? And what will happen to them? To be continued... Ch.4: The First Step Ch.4: The First Step Both Akihiro and Akio go with the leader of the Orbikus organization and his deputy to the headquarters. Akihiro looks at Hajime ( The leader ) and Hachiro ( The leader¡¯s deputy) all the way, being cautious of them cause he still doesn''t know them well. Although Hajime and Hachiro are in front of them and can''t see their looks, they feel Akihiro¡¯s aura which make them feel he is unsure of them, cautious and ready to kill them if requested.. -Hachiro thinking: ( Apparently, this boy is going to be a promising project for the manufacture of anew hero in the organization.) To relieve this aura and this tense atmosphere, Hajime decided to open a topic.. -Hajime: So Akihiro, was the strong and irregular power that appeared, from you? Akihiro looks to Hajime surprised by his question but he regain his serious look back quickly.. -Akihiro: Yes. -Hajime smiles as he looks forward and didn''t turn his face back.. Hajime within himself: ( What does this boy hide?!) Hajime decided to get more answers from Akihiro, how they found Atumizo, and how his ability had been woken.. -Hajime: How did you find that monster, even though he was in the forest where nobody goes much? Hachiro looks to Hajime and smiles a light smile.. -Hachiro thinking : ( I understand him now. What a great leader!) -Akio: I will tell you. Akio said that with enthusiastic and happily features on his face. Akihiro looks at him to stop him from talking, for fear of him but after seeing those features on his face , he smiled and decided to let him talk .. -Akio continues: This happened as we were walking in the park, we heard a strange sound in the forest and we decided to check it. And when we got closer , we heard screaming and shouting from someone so we went there and found that monster which was very scary. Suddenly, Akihiro¡¯s face changes and he seems confused, shocked and sweats too much and too fast, and he interrupts Akio¡¯s talk.. -Akihiro: The man, we have forgotten him, I told him to go and inform the police. Hajime hears Akihiro¡¯s talk and looks at him and smiles.. -Hajime: Don''t worry, the organization¡¯s members have removed that Bonsan and they went to the police station to tell them that they took care of it and the man is safe. Satisfaction appears on Akihiro''s face and he begins to trust them. Hajime and Hachiro feel this and happy with that.. -Akio: Well, Akihiro you didn''t tell them the answer of the second half of the question, how did you awaken your ability?! Akihiro looks to Akio unsurprisingly, Hajime and Hachiro¡¯s faces changed to seriousness and began to focus on Akihiro''s words which he is going to say.. -Akihiro: Oh. That''s right, when I attacked Atumizo, who is the monster, he hit me hard away and I couldn''t get up as a normal person. But all my concern was to save Akio, but I suddenly lost consciousness and woke up to a voice inside me, talking to me, saying that she is my ability, I asked to use her and she agreed so I woke up with my ability. Hajime and Hachiro are surprised by this story, as abilities aren''t discovered like that but appears involuntarily as a sign that they are activated. And Akio is surprised that the way to awake his ability not like his.. -Akio: Oh, it seems that the way to awake your ability is different from mine. Akihiro is surprised with Akio''s talk, and when he decides to ask him what he means, Hajime interrupted him with a serious face.. -Hajime: Tell me Akihiro, What''s your ability¡¯s name? Akihiro is surprised by the question.. -Akihiro: My ability? Um, right, it''s name is ¡° Dioborikita ¡°.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. When Hajime and Hachiro hear her name, they suddenly stop and the shock features printed on their faces.. -Hajime thinking: ( She is appeared after her long absence!!!!) -Hachiro thinking: ( How did he get her!! I didn''t expect her to show up again !!) Akihiro and Akio are surprised by their weird reaction.. -Akihiro: What is it? Why do you look like that?! Both Hajime and Hachiro calm down and return to their natural features.. -Hajime: What do you know about this ability? -Akihiro: I know that she has been hidden for too long and she is rare, but after I spoke with her, I know that she copying any ability for a limited time. -Hajime thinking: ( So he didn''t know much about her, that''s why he didn''t shocked about her like us.) -Hachiro thinking: ( What will the boss do with him? Will he tell him about that ability and it¡¯s story or what?) Hajime smiles and looks ahead.. -Hajime: Well, let us move to the headquarters.. Everyone smile and continue their way. They arrive in front of the headquarters, a huge building, a huge skyscraper, and there are two men at the electric door of the headquarters guarding it. Akio admired the building and his eyes are twinkling. But Akihiro is surprised by the great magnitude of the headquarters. Hajime and Hachiro look at them and smiles because they are so impressed.. -Hachiro: Then, let''s get in. The guards bend to them as they enter the door and take the elevator. It takes them down to the ground floors. Both Akihiro and Akio are surprised by this.. -Akihiro: Why are we going down, isn''t it above us?! Hajime looks at him with a smile.. -Hajime: It''s just the superficial building and the offices but the headquarters¡¯ base is below. The elevator¡¯s door opened, and Akihiro and Akio find a place they could never have imagined, advanced devices, a lot of people working, a large place. Astonishment from both Akihiro and Akio.. -Akio: What a wonderful place with everything needed by any hero to fight any invaders. -Hajime: Well, let''s go. We won''t stay in the elevator for so long. Akio and Akihiro awaken, walk with Hajime and Hachiro and stand in the middle of the place.. -Hachiro thinking: ( What is the leader thinking of?) Suddenly, Hajime stops.. -Hajime: Well, Akihiro and Akio, I want you to meet a newly joined heroine of your age, wait here. Akihiro sighs and looks at Hajime in carelessness.. -Akihiro: I¡¯m not interested in knowing anyone, medicate Akio immediately. Akio looks at Akihiro smiling, and Hachiro looks at Hajime without giving any expressions, and Hajime look a ahead without looking at Akihiro.. -Hajime: Let him lay on the ground, the girl I will get have the ability of healing. Akihiro opens his eyes widely then looks down in discontent that he wasn''t fair to Hajime.. -Akihiro: Alright. -Hachiro thinking: ( it seems that my boss wants to polish this boy so he could use his ability. It''s not easy.) Akio looks to Akihiro and sees his sorrowful look and smiles.. -Akio: Don''t worry too much about me Akihiro, I¡¯m fine. Akihiro looks at Akio after hearing his words and smiles.. Hajime goes to get the girl after the atmosphere is cleared. Hachiro approaches Akihiro.. -Hachiro: Listen Akihiro, yes your fear for your friend is important and respectful, bit to let it make you think badly of others and eliminate your mind is wrong. This mistake could kill you and your friend. I don''t know what is the leader¡¯s decision about you but if you face any danger, it could end your life although you have the strength to win. Akihiro looks to Hachiro and smiles, admiring his wise words.. -Akihiro: Thank you, Hachiro. I''ll certainly learn from this. Akio looks at them , smiling because Akihiro started to open up so that others could approach him, and Hachiro smiles.. -Hachiro: This my duty, Akihiro, no need to thank me, but trust the leader, he is really a good person and won''t be a threat to you. Akihiro and Akio nod with approval, smiling.. Hajime comes with a beautiful girl.. -Hajime: Ooh , Hachiro, it seems you start to be friends with Akihiro. The three are surprised by Hajime''s arrival, and Hachiro smiles.. -Hachiro: So I come to them before you. Hajime smiles.. -Hajime: You''re right, Well, let me introduce Emmy to you, our new therapist. Emmy smiles and bends and everyone looks at her.. -Emmy: Welcome to our headquarters, nice to meet you. Hajime looks at Akio and points to him.. -Hajime: Do you see this poor fellow lying there, he needs your beautiful hand to medicate him, please. Emmy looks at Akio and goes to him as he looks at her, and he is curious how she can medicate him. Hachiro and Akihiro stand and look at her with no expressions.. She lands and sits beside lying Akio, puts her hands on him and closes her eyes. Her hands begin to radiate in green as well as Akio, and Akio''s injuries gradually disappear until all the injuries have disappeared. Akio and Akihiro are surprised with this, Emmy stops the treatment, and Akio gets up and sits surprised that all his injuries have been healed.. -Emmy: Well, you have been medicated.. She said that with smiley and cute face.. -Akio: This is awesome, thank you. Akihiro looks seriously at Emmy.. -Akihiro thinking : ( Then these are the abilities and what they can do, I didn''t know there is a healing ability. ) Hachiro and Hajime look at Akihiro.. -Hachiro thinking : ( it seems that what Akihiro saw now has attracted his attention. ) -Hajime thinking: ( We seem to have taken the first step to make him with us.) To be continued... Ch.5: Strange Farewell Ch.5: Strange Farewell Akihiro smiles and looks to Hajime.. -Akihiro: I want to know about abilities and their kinds, and about my ability. Akio looks at Akihiro surprised, and Hajime, Hachiro and Emmy smile.. Suddenly Akio smiles and screams in joy.. -Akio: Finally, you showed your interest in the organization and what¡¯s related to it. Everybody gets shocked and gazes at Akio, then Akihiro squirms.. -Akihiro: W- what? N- no, I just want to know about the abilities and I didn''t say that I am interested in the organization and what''s related to it. He says this and looks the other way.. Akio stands and looks at Akihiro with a smile.. -Akio: Yes, yes. Then he smiles broadly.. Akihiro looks at him and smiles, and everyone looks at them smiling.. -Hajime: Alright, let''s go and set down and I will tell you what you want. They go to a room where they sit and talk.. Everyone sits and Akihiro looks to Hajime seriously and focused to understand what he is going to say.. -Hajime: Okay Akihiro, let''s start our conversation firstly about what are the abilities. Akihiro looks seriously towards Hajime, and both Emmy and Akio smile and look at Hajime.. -Hajime: The abilities are a power that has emerged since ancient times, and they give you a supernatural power, and must be exploited in the best way. The more you know how to use them, the more the chances of winning the fight and the more you become stronger because of your right usage of them. Abilities can develop but before this development you must be ready physically and your energy must be able to bear this development and handle it. The development levels are different from one ability to another, it can have one evolution and it can reach more than ten, and it develops through training and fighting. Akihiro and Akio are shocked from this.. -Akihiro: This means that our abilities are still at the lowest level and they will only develop through training and fighting? -Hajime: Yes, that''s right. -Akihiro: What''s the type of development in the abilities regardless the strength increase? -Hachiro within himself: ( It seems that it¡¯s becoming important to Akihiro. It''s possible that he will decide after this talk if he will join us or not.) -Emmy within herself: ( Akihiro and Akio, the owners of the power that we have just felt. What are they going to be in the future?!) -Hajime: The evolution isn''t the power increase, that''s depending on the ability. Let''s take Akio''s Ability for example, the Celestial Flames. This ability, of its name isn''t a normal fire, now you see it as a normal fire but evolution will change its colour, strength and specialization. It could be black, it has a development to be black. And it could be blue and so on, each type of fire will have a specific competence. Yes it will be stronger but if you knew the specialisation of that fire, it will help to use it and see it¡¯s real strength without squandering your energy. Akio raises his hand and looks at him seriously.. -Akio: So, if I could develop it and know when to use each one, I will be stronger and no one is going to stand in my way. Hajime looks seriously to Akio.. -Hajime: Akio, don''t let your ability make you go for a dark and a wrong way. Power could make you more responsible or make you flatter yourself and choose the path of destruction and it ends badly. Akio looks at Hajime surprised and laughs.. -Akio: Don''t worry, however I grow strong, that would be a shield to protect everyone on this Earth. That''s why I wanted to join the organization. Hajime smiles..Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. -Hajime: That''s good. -Akihiro: Tell me about my ability, please. -Hajime: Right, your ability. Before we talk about you a ability, I will tell you the main and the subcategory classifications of the abilities. The main is divided into two, normal and rare. The subcategory is divided into ( Fighter _ Enhanced _ Healer _ Defender ) of course that''s what is known to us so far and we didn''t find anything outside this category. Now Akihiro, your ability is rare but Akio, yours is normal. The idea that this ability is normal or rare is it shows or not across the generations. The normal often appears through generations, but the rare , not any generation gets it and it could disappear in many generations, like your ability Akihiro. -Akihiro: When I told you the name of my ability, you got shocked of it, Why? Hajime and Hachiro, both get shocked, and they take a serious and strong look at Akihiro.. -Hajime thinking: ( How could he know that we were shocked?! We didn''t show that. Who is this boy?! This boy should not left to go the wrong way otherwise he will be devastating and no one will stop him.) -Hachiro thinking: ( Akihiro. It seems that this name will echo a lot in the future. ) They both calm down and Hajime looks at Akihiro with a smile, and Hachiro looks towards Hajime without expressions.. Emmy and Akio look at them ,not understanding any thing. And Akihiro looks at them with serious and concentrated looks , knowing that he say something shocking to them.. -Hajime: the story of your ability is that in the past, the Earth was a colony of the Bonsan, killing, taking slaves and taking its resources. The Earth would not exist now and you will not be born because man kind would be extinct. Those who went out to fight these invaders are a group on heroes called themselves ¡° The Orbikus¡±. Yes it¡¯s the name of our organization. They had several abilities including rare ones, and their leader had possessed your ability, Akihiro. Everyone gets shocked , Akio, Emmy and Akihiro.. -Akio: What? Akihiro¡¯s ability! -Emmy: I didn''t know that! Akihiro has this ability!! Akihiro smiles which is the opposite of what Hajime and Hachiro was expecting.. -Akihiro: Looks like my ability has a great history. Hachiro is shocked with Akihiro''s reaction, and suddenly Hajime laughs loudly.. -Hajime: You really are an unexpected boy.. They all look at Hajime and Akihiro is smiling and focusing with him.. -Hajime: they defeated everyone and reached their leader but after along and rough fight , he escaped and vowed that he would return more powerfully to take revenge. And here we are waiting for him, but it seems that he send a despicable and useless one to us to check the matter and begin his revenge. I will tell you another thing about the rare abilities, they are different from the regular ones in some points. Firstly, it¡¯s awaken is that it talks to you within you and gives itself to you. Secondly, there is no risk with the normal ability except that it exhausts you a lot if you''re not ready for it or for its evolution. As for the rare ability it devours the consciousness of the person who has it and then it devours his soul and kills him, it¡¯s conscious not like the normal ability. It does that if you are not ready for it or if it does not like you. The most rare Ability to do this it¡¯s yours Akihiro. That''s why it didn''t exist for centuries. Everyone except Hachiro is strongly shocked and looks at Akihiro.. -Akio: What is this?! How is that?!! This means that my friend¡¯s life is in danger!!! -Emmy: I didn''t know this!!! This is dangerous. How is this?!! -Akihiro: This is amazing. An ability that devour its owner and mine is the most rebellious. It seems that I will suffer with it, but I will not reject this responsibility. Hachiro and Hajime smile with happiness and satisfaction after hearing Akihiro¡¯s words.. Emmy and Akio followed them with admirable smile to Akihiro¡¯s talk.. -Akio: You are reckless but I trust you. -Hajime: The more you develop your ability and your connection to your rare ability, the more your power will materialise to have a physical form within your mind. Suddenly, Akihiro hears a voice inside him.. -The voice of his ability: O weak, I no longer like you. Then his eyes lose their luster and he falls unconscious, and everyone around him shouts his name and runs towards him to see what happened to him.. ( Inside Akihiro) -His ability¡¯s voice: O weak, wake up. Akihiro opens his eyes and finds himself in the same place where he met his ability for the first time. Smiling a challenging smile.. -Akihiro: Hello, rebellious ability. Do you want to devour me now? -His ability s voice: Do you know why I had devoured so many and didn''t appears for along time? This is because I can''t find anyone who is worthy of me. Some of them, I didn''t choose and some of them are good from the outside and deserves me, but when I am in them , I find them either weak and will not bear me or bad person who will use me in evil, so I kill them. Akihiro looks with amazement.. -Akihiro: Rebellious and ethical?! Interesting mix. So why do you bring me here? -His ability¡¯s voice: To tell you that I''m leaving you because you don''t deserve me. Akihiro gets shocked.. -Akihiro: What??? But how I am going to fight like this, and how I will protect my friend and the people. And why you didn''t devour me like the others?! -The voice of his ability: I will only answer your question about who to protect them. Search inside you and you will know how you protect them. Now I will leave. Akihiro calls out with a loud voice the name of his ability but without an answer, and suddenly he falls and wakes up in the real world, bit his eyes didn''t regain their lust.. Everyone stands scared to check on him, and Hachiro and Hajime know that she''s his ability who summon him.. -Akio: Are you alright? Akihiro tell me. Akihiro doesn''t speak and the shock features are all over his face.. Hajime and Hachiro are confused about those features.. -Hajime: What happened, Akihiro? What did your ability do to you? Akihiro doesn''t respond to Hajime and it worries him more that his consciousness has been devoured.. Suddenly, Hajime grabs Akihiro and shakes him and yells.. -Hajime: Answer me did your ability devour your consciousness? Answer, you idiot. Answer. Akio and Emmy are shocked.. -Akio: What?!! Devour his consciousness?!! No, this is impossible, isn''t it Akihiro?! You didn''t allow her to do this. You challenged her. You will not die like this, right?! Answer me, please. Akio''s tears began to fall, and Hajime and Hachiro are confused and shocked by what happened, and Emmy is too scared and doesn''t know what to do.. Suddenly, his eyes regain their luster and he opens his mouth without any expressions.. -Akihiro: E- E- Everyone here! Everyone was surprised and glade that his consciousness hasn''t devoured, and Akio wiped out his tears.. -Akio: Yes Akihiro, all of us are around you. -Akihiro: My ability. MY ability has gone and left me. Everyone was shocked by this. Akihiro, his ability has gone! Akihiro without an ability!! To be continued... Ch.6: Light of a new hope Ch.6: Light of a new hope Everyone looks in shock to Akihiro and surprised from what happened.. -Hajime thinking: ( His ability has gone!! This has never happened!! If she doesn''t like him, she will kill him. How can she leave this way?!!) -Hachiro thinking: ( A rare ability goes and leaves her owner!! What is this ability thinking about?! She always surprised us by her unexpected decisions!!) -Hajime: Calm down, Akihiro, we will certainly figure it out somehow. Akihiro looks at Hajime and his features looks like a dead person with no expressions on his face and his eyes have lost their luster.. -Akihiro: After I didn''t care for the abilities and didn''t feel I need them, then I had a problem where I wished to have an ability to help Akio with. And when it came to me, and I rejoiced at it, and my love and passion to learn more about them increased , especially about my ability; she has gone and left me like a body without a soul, a body that doesn''t have any abilities, only waiting for death. Hajime slapped Akihiro across his face with an angry face, and everyone is shocked with his reaction.. -Hajime: Are you stupid? Do you think you were born without abilities?! If you were so, your body wouldn''t bear and you would die. And do you think a rebel ability like her would choose you if you are not worthy of this, or would leave you alive unless she knows that you have something prevents her from killing you and devouring your consciousness. Don¡¯t let despair blinds you. This world is merciless towards those in despair. You have an ability but you don''t know it yet, we will know it and make it come out. Do you understand? Akihiro looks at Hajime and his eyes¡¯ luster is back, and he starts crying. Everyone smiles with sad eyes.. -Hajime: You''re just a foolish kid. Rest for now and we will search until we know your ability. When you recover your strength, we will start our attempts to wake it up. Akihiro stops crying and wipes his tears.. -Akihiro: Alright. Hajime and Hachiro leave, and both Akio and Emmy wait with Akihiro, and he smiles.. -Akio: This is the first time I see you crying, what are you hiding inside you and makes you cry like this, Akihiro? Akihiro looks at him, and then lies down on the bed and covers himself with the blanket.. -Akihiro: Didn''t you hear Hajime? I had to rest to recover my strength. Akio laughs, and Emmy keeps looking at them with a smiley face.. -Akio: I got it, you''re embarrassed and don''t want to talk about it, Alright, we will let you rest. Both Akio and Emmy stand up to leave the room. Akio goes out first and Emmy stops, turns and looks at Akihiro with serious glances.. -Emmy thinking : ( Akihiro, to be chosen by this ability who doesn''t like any one easily, and to leave you alive, although she always kills anyone she choose and doesn''t like, this didn''t come out of the blue. There are things hidden within you and I think that great things will happen to you in the future, rest assured, you idiot. ) -Akio: Why are you stopped?! Emmy is surprised with Akio behind her.. -Emmy: No- Nothing. Akio looks with wicked glances and smiles.. -Akio: I can sense your admiration for Akihiro. And he laughs with maliciously smiles.. Emmy¡¯s face turns red and she gets all mixed up.. -Emmy: N- No, no, Why do you say these embarrassing stuff?! I even still don''t know him so how I am going to like him that easily, you idiot.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. Akio laughs and puts his hands behind his head, and walks away.. -Akio: Right, right. Emmy closes the door and is running after Akio.. -Emmy: What do you mean by this? You don''t believe me, do you? Akihiro lying on the bed awake but his mind in another place thinking of what he will do after what happened to him, and of the Dioborikita¡¯s talk before she leaves.. Hajime sits on his desk and Hachiro sits in front of him, Hachiro looks at him with serious glances.. -Hachiro: This is the first time you look at one of your allies with this angry look, this look is always of the share of our enemies. Hajime looks at him with a smile.. -Hajime: Yes, I was surprised too that I showed this expression to him but I felt I had to save him before he lost in despair, lost in despair means that your future is dark. Either you cling to your heart and live in despair and loneliness and die like that, or the darkness will fill your heart and you would be a weapon that destroys and corrupts the beauty of this world. And if this boy went to the other side, I don''t think we will be able to stop his agitation. -Hachiro: But how can''t we be able to stop his agitation? Don''t you see that it''s exaggerated, plus Dioborikita is no longer with him. Hajime¡¯s face changes to seriousness.. -Hajime: Don''t underestimate this boy. For this ability to choose him and go leaving him alive, this means that there is something missing that we don''t know, because it''s not in her nature to leave her former owner alive. There must be something there that prevented her from doing this. Either there is something stronger than her inside him and she is afraid of it , or that there is a hidden purpose for her to leave him alive. Hachiro is shocked by Hajime''s talk.. -Hachiro: Do you mean that he has a stronger and more frightening ability than this one?!! -Hajime : I just put hypotheses. This boy hidden a lot inside him. Didn''t you see him crying although it wasn''t that bad to cry. Even if you look at his personality, he is not the type who cries especially if it is a small matter like what happened a while ago. For the boy to feel that he wants to save his friend and that ability responds to his desire and helps him! If she is a rebel and doesn''t like anyone easily, why did she help him although he wasn''t the one in danger?! This isn''t an easy case that we can figure out by ourselves. We had to know everything about this boy and about this ability, and ask her about her purpose of these odd acts for its nature. -Hachiro: What about his friend? Why did we take him? And why do you want to recruit him? Hajime smiles.. -Hajime: Because he is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future. If you noticed although his ability was only at its first, weak level, it seems that it would be dangerous to the Bonsan, so that monster from the Bonsan decided to kill him before he grows up. Hachiro smiles quietly.. -Hachiro: It looks like you have seen the fight. It seems that the cameras we put secretly around the world have benefited you. Hajime laughs and points the sign of victory.. -Hachiro: Then, Emmy, Why did I you choose her specifically over all the other therapists who are more experienced than her?! As I know you the reason wasn''t that she is at the same age or new like them. Hajime smiles softly.. -Hajime: Yes, that wasn''t the reason. Actually, I want them to fit in with each other because I am aiming to form teams. Each team will have one or two different kinds of abilities, which means that the team will have possess an attack, a defense, enhancement and therapy. Hachiro smiles admiringly.. -Hachiro: It looks like a really good idea. Hajime looks at the sky from his window.. -Hajime: I hope to make the right decisions always to not lose anyone anymore. Two hours after these events. Akihiro comes out of his room and he is walking inside the building.. -Emmy: Oh Akihiro, it seems you have recovered. Akihiro looks at her without expressions.. -Akihiro: Ah, yes, I''m better now. Emmy smiles.. -Emmy: Well, I was coming to take you to the training area. It''s good I found you here. Can we walk to there? -Akihiro: Ok, no problem. They start walking towards the training area.. -Akihiro: Where is Akio? Is he alright? -Emmy: Yes, don''t worry, he is with Hajime and Hachiro at the training area waiting for us. They seem to have known your ability. Akihiro smiles and looks at her.. -Akihiro: That''s good, I will try to wake it up. Emmy smiles as she looks at Akihiro.. -Akihiro : I have a question, Emmy. -Emmy: Go ahead. -Akihiro: There is a variety in the fighting abilities and they have names, so do the other types of abilities, like the medicated ability, have names and types too and differ from each other? -Emmy: Yes, but we are different. The difference in our abilities appears when they get to the second level, but the fighting abilities are different in the first level. -Akihiro: But do you have rare abilities like the fighting ones? -Emmy: Yes we have but not as many as you or this is what we know so far about abilities. Akihiro smiles excitedly.. -Akihiro: The world of abilities is really large and huge. I want to know more about it soon. Akihiro and Emmy arrive at the training area.. -Emmy: Here we are. Akio waves to them.. -Akio: Hoi! Akihiro.. Emmy.. Come here.. Hachiro and Akio mumble and Akihiro notices this but doesn''t care.. -Hajime: Well, before we start with you Akihiro, you will see a fight between Hachiro and Akio. Akihiro gets shocked and looks at Hajime.. -Akihiro: How is this? He won''t bear this and also there is a difference in strength between them and in experience as well. Hajime smiles.. -Hajime: Don''t worry and look at them carefully. Akio looks at Akihiro with a smile.. -Akio: Don''t worry man, I got this. Trust me.. Akihiro looks at Akio and smiles and nodding that he trusts him.. Hajime looks at Hachiro and Akio.. -Hajime: Okay. Stand in your places. Ready. -Akihiro thinking: ( Don''t try to strain yourself much, Akio.) -Hajime: start fighting. To be continued... Ch.7: The awaking of the Celestial Dragon Ch.7: The awaking of the Celestial Dragon Akio ignites his hands in flames and attacks Hachiro with his full power. Suddenly a spear comes out of the ground and he waves with it towards Akio who stops and backs off to avoid the attack. Hachiro smiles proudly.. -Hachiro: Meet my ability, ¡° Senchi No Rei Yo Yubo ¡° ( The Fighter Spirits Summoning ), and because you are of the fire type, I summon a fighter who fights with fire, but with a spear that shoots fire. So learn from him the basics of fire control. Akio likes the ability so then he shows the features of seriousness and focus with a smile of challenge and enthusiasm.. -Akio: It seems it''s going to be interesting.. Akio increases the fire that wraps his hands and he attacks. He approaches that fighting spirit and suddenly jumps over it to hit it from above, but the spirit aims the sharp end of the spear towards Akio with no movement and calmness. When he approaches the spirit and prepared to strike, fire shots come out of the spear towards Akio. They hit Akio but at the last minute he wraps the impact area if his body with a fire shield which reduce the poser of the blows which led to him flying in the opposite direction for his attack with less damage.. Hachiro looks with serious glances to Akio.. -Hachiro: You see these things may be weak with this normal fire power but when your flame develops, it could make amazing things that amazes everyone. Hajime looks at Akihiro and sees worry in his eyes, he looks towards Akio and Hachiro and nods with his head for them to start the plan. They both notice that and understand his signal.. Suddenly, Hachiro¡¯s features change and evil ones appear on him, a wicked smile full of evil, eyes eager for blood, a radical change in Hachiro¡¯s quite character. Even Akio feared it even though he knew the plan.. -Hachiro: Let us now see some enthusiasm. Suddenly the spirit becomes lighted and reduced to be a lighted piece floating in the air, moving towards Hachiro¡¯s body and enters it. Hachiro lights up and then the light disappears and they find another person in front of them. Some one standing with red hair and red eyes. And a costume that only covers the lower part of the body. Akio is terrified of this scene and he hesitates to attack.. -Akio thinking: ( I didn''t know that Hachiro could hide such a frightening force.) -Hachiro: It is the time for fun, I have been waiting for. With his scary face and a smile filled with wickedness and evilness, Akio was terrified and decided to fight him with all his might, even if it was just an act.. Suddenly Hajime yells.. -Hajime: Akio, it is no longer a simulated fight. Now it''s serious, don''t let your guards down or you will suffer serious damages. Akihiro hears this and gets shocked of it, his friend is in danger now?!! -Akihiro: What do you mean by saying that it''s serious?!! He didn''t get response and when he looked at Hajime, he found someone else beside him, someone who know no mercy and wants to see blood, his smile is like Hachiro¡¯s, full of evilness, wants to be entertained by the sight of blood floating all around. Akihiro was frightened by the scene but he decided to shut up and watch, perhaps these thoughts are like the previous ones he used to think of when he saw someone new in front of him which are wrong sometimes.. Akio ignites his full body in fire as if he is wearing a fire armor around his body to protect himself from the heavy blows, and with a confused face, Akio gets ready for Hachiro.. -Hachiro: Oooh, you are covered with your flames, then why don''t we destroy this promising fire. Akio regains his strength and stands focusing on Hachiro, trying not to let Hachiro escape from his sight so that he can fight him to the fullest extent. But suddenly Hachiro attacks with incredible speed that Akio almost notice and prepared for.. -Hachiro: Taste my kick. Hachiro kicks Akio on his face which makes him fly away hitting the wall and spit blood, and he just falls down to find Hachiro finishing him with a fire ball of his spear.. -Hachiro: Let us see how much is your endurance of the blows.. The fire ball hits Akio and blows up making him falls down and can''t move at all. Two strikes made him unable to move a tip oh his limbs. And Akihiro doesn''t left a finger. Emmy is surprised with Akihiro¡¯s reaction that he didn''t scream fearing for his friend.. -Emmy thinking : ( What does Akihiro think of? Why doesn''t he save his friend? It''s supposed, as we know him, that he will scream and attack without thinking, so why doesn''t he show any reaction other than these concern features?!!) Hachiro walks towards Akio and his scary face hasn''t changed.. -Hachiro: You''re such a weak and scurvy, with only two strikes you falls down like a broken wing bird which can''t fly!! It seems that you have to taste the pain so that you don''t forget to not be weak again. This if you lived. Then Hachiro lets out strong laughs. Akihiro hears all this but trying to hold himself. And it''s only fear countenance on Akio''s face. Just Hachiro''s aura makes him terrified of only his existence. Akio was able to feel his aura from its force but what was reassured him that he is still on their plan that his aura didn''t make him feel that he wanted to kill, it was only an intimidation aura. It has no other purpose than this so he was reassured that they are doing all this to bring out Akihiro¡¯s hidden ability. Hachiro grabs Akio''s head and throw him horizontally towards Akihiro and Akio falls on the ground in front of Akihiro. Akihiro looks at him and he can''t hold himself so he runs to him and rests his head on his arm with fear features on his face..Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. -Akihiro: Akio. Let''s stop this fighting. Don''t exhaust yourself. Not because you are assured that you will be cured so you exhaust yourself like this. With no features but tiredness, exhaustion and pain, Akio speaks to Akihiro hardly.. -Akio: Don''t worry. I have to continue to be better and stronger. Those fights will make me evolve. Suddenly, Hachiro appears beside them and he grabs Akihiro and throws him out to Hajime who catches him.. -Hachiro: Don''t let him interfere in our fight. Hajime nods approvingly and then Hachiro holds Akio''s leg and drags him as he walks away and then he suddenly throws him into the air and jumps to begin with a series of blows .. Punches and kicks in all Akio''s body who is without his fire armor and even without strength to defend himself. Akihiro sees this and gets furious and tries to escape from Hajime, screaming to stop the fight immediately, but Hajime knocks him down on the ground in his stomach and throws his hands behind his back and pinches on the ground.. And with Hajime evil glances.. -Hajime: Watch silently your friend crashes. Akihiro gets shocked with this talk.. Akihiro thinking: ( No way! They weren''t like that when I deal with them. Were they deceiving us?! Did I really have to give up my precautions and trust them?!) Hachiro continues hitting Akio who doesn''t do anything but suffering and receiving blows. Hachiro hits him so he falls to the ground then he falls with the top of the spear stick in Akio''s stomach, which makes him spit blood. Hachiro stands in front of Akio who is lying powerless on the ground.. -Hachiro: Do you want more or you have had enough? Akio turns his head and his eyes meets Akihiro¡¯s so Akio smiles making Akihiro tremble, screaming and begging to leave him alone and don''t continue, but with no response. And suddenly, he hears a husky voice within him.. -An anonymous voice: I am tired of waiting, it''s time to get out to the light and steal the spotlight. Akihiro closes his eyes, calms down and talks within himself, and Hajime is surprised by Akihiro¡¯s reaction, and Emmy can''t do anything so as not to ruin the plan, she just prays that it ends quickly.. Akihiro within himself: ( Who are you?) -An unknown voice: Listen to me, I will now give you the power to save your friend but it won''t last long cause I will raise it to the second level and your body won''t bear it for along time, so do it fast. Akihiro within himself: (Alright, I''m in.. I don''t know who you are but if it''s for saving him, I will accept this power. ) -An unknown voice: Enhance physical strength level 2.. Done. Enhance speed level 2.. Done. Enhance the control of the surrounding air pressure level 2.. Done. Grant enhancement level 2.. Done. Enhance muscles endurance and response level 2.. Done. This is enough for now, if you need more I will boost you with it. Now go and save your friend.. Suddenly, Hachiro feels a lowness in the air pressure around him and it¡¯s pulling towards Akihiro, then he jumps and moves Emmy away from Akihiro and there is a big air explosion and then Akihiro stands. The scenario of his fight with Atumizo is repeated, his firmly and confident stance. Suddenly, Akihiro disappears in front of everyone and appears next to Hachiro as he prepares to kick him in his stomach, and Hachiro couldn''t stop it so it makes hum fly crushing the wall with him. With everyone astonishment.. Akihiro descends on his knees, holds Akio''s hand and closes his eyes, suddenly, they both glow with a dim light. And Akio feels an energy passing inside him and it didn''t stop. The light disappears and Akio stands feeling nothing although his injuries still exist, and he is stunned, and Akihiro smiles.. -Akihiro: Enjoy your fire evolution to the second level for awhile, you always wanted to see your development. Akio decides to ignites the fire and finds its color is changed, turning to a scarlet color. Akio is surprised and smiling happily at the same time.. -Akio: What is that!! This is the first evolution of my flames!! Do you know what is its specialty? -Akihiro: I don''t know anything about it but he tells you to try it as bullets and when you are ready to develop find it¡¯s remaining powers. Akio is surprised by Akihiro¡¯s words.. -Akio: Who is he? -Akihiro: There is no time to explain now, get ready to the fight and use what I told you. Hachiro comes out of the wall but with a calm smile and his face seems to be returned to its nature.. -Hachiro: Well done, Akihiro. Your ability has finally emerged. Everybody smiles.. Hajime screaming: Yes, your enhancing power isn''t normal, it has been devoured by a rare enhancement ability called ¡° Tenku No Rio" ( The Celestial Dragon). Welcome with your new ability, Akihiro. Akihiro looks at the ground a d smiles.. -Akihiro: As long as it is an act, there is no problem in completing this fight seriously. Wrap the flames around one of your eyes and it will make you see like snipers, then equip a finger of yours and aim it towards Hachiro, gather a very large amount of fire and compress as possible as you can do now and shoot that bullet. Akio listens to him with serious looks and with concentration, he is doing what he asked him to do, and he is surprised every time at every step because he tries those capabilities in his fire for the first time. And Hajime smiles.. Hajime: Hachiro, I think you should move away from the path of the bullet, I don''t feel good about it.. Hachiro listens to Hajime''s talk and tells him that he will move away with his speed in moments before shooting it then it won''t hit him.. -Akio: Alright, Akihiro. I am ready to shoot. -Akihiro: Okay, shoot now. Akio shoot the bullet and thrust back a few centimeters, and the bullet goes in incredible speed which everyone is amazed with, and Hachiro tries to avoid it with his speed and it hits the wall causing a large explosion makes Hachiro fly, and powerful winds on all of them from the force of the explosion.. Akihiro laughs loudly and everyone is shocked by this power.. -Akihiro: And this is one type of bullets types. If you have more power, you could make it hit without exploding, and you can do a lot more. This is just one development, let alone the next developments. The abilities are really something to be reckoned with. Hajime smiles and points to Akihiro.. -Hajime: Then, try not to let him pass you and compete with him in who will develop more first. -Emmy thinking: ( Two people who had identified by chance and have such power?! The Destiny had definitely stood with us this time.) - The Celestial Dragon: Time is up. Take a good rest cause your body is exhausted by using power above its capability as well as your friend. And suddenly the reinforcement disappears and the two fall to the ground.. Emmy goes to them and medicate them.. -Emmy with a satisfaction smile: Good work.. Akio smiles at her but Akihiro, as usual, doesn''t give her any countenances, but as she started to understand him, she didn''t care with that.. The two fall asleep, Hajime and Hachiro carry and take them to the hospital room to rest there and leave them.. Both Hajime and Hachiro go to Hajime''s office and sit there. Suddenly, a knock on the door and Emmy asked to let her in and they allow her. And with Serious glances ,she looks at Hajime.. -Emmy: Tell me Hajime, why did you make me meet those boys, even though there are others who are new too?! Hajime rolls his chair and stared out of the window.. -Hajime: It is because I want you to be a team and I will get others with you, and because you are new and you have no relatives or friends here so I decided that they will be the first people to know you. -Emmy: Alright, I respect your thinking, and Akio is easy to get along with because he is a socialist and leaves the door open but Akihiro isn''t. Even when I took him to you, I was ready for him to refuse my request to walk with him, but he agreed not because he accepted me but because I treated his friend, so he only did it out of respect for me. I really don''t know what that boy''s past is but it seems that it isn''t easy. -Hajime: Don''t worry, one day you will be something precious to him and we will know everything about his past , so let''s leave it to time. To be continued... Ch.8: Akihiro Ch.8: Akihiro Akihiro and Akio wake up the next day.. -Akihiro: Did you sleep well, Akio? Then Akio laughs.. -Akio: I slept until the next day and you ask me if I slept well? Are you kidding?! Hajime walks in and surprised that they wake up.. -Hajime: You wake up finally. That¡¯s good. Hajime looks at Akihiro and Akihiro looks at him with a cold and reproachful look, and he is surprised.. -Hajime: Is there something, Akihiro?! Akihiro doesn''t respond, looks at the bed and Akio is surprised by Akihiro¡¯s actions.. -Akihiro: We should go to our school now. -Hajime: Don''t worry, there is a car that will take you there. Suddenly, Akio screams.. -Akio: Waaa. I forget about my family, they don''t know anything about this. Hajime laughs loudly.. -Hajime: Don''t worry kid. We told them every thing and they were very happy with this and that Akihiro is with you, as they told us that you will form a powerful bilateral. -Akio: Haah, this is good. -Akihiro: Come on, get ready then we can go. -Hajime: Well, we have prepared your clothes for you. I''m going out now so get ready. Hajime goes out and they get ready and Akihiro comes out.. -Hajime: Oh, Akihiro. Looks like you are finis- But Akihiro walks without giving any attention to Hajime or to his words and Akio comes out and sees this ,and gets sad.. -Hajime: What happened to him to become like this?! -Akio: I Don''t know but unfortunately that''s how he is with everyone. Hajime hears this and he is surprised that he thought Akihiro wasn''t interested in them before he changed but the fact that he had begun to trust them and now he returned to the beginning.. They both get in the car and go to school. They get out of the car and enter the school, it''s still early and there are few students.. Some students go to talk to Akio and don''t give Akihiro any attention. He continues his way to the classroom and Akio stops to talk to them a bit.. -Akihiro thinking : ( What if I didn''t meet him, what would I had been now.) He looks around and finds the students arrived to class, groups and conversations between them. Akio comes in and sits on the seat next to Akihiro.. -Akio: Why did you go like this? -Akihiro: Why would I talk to them? They came for you so I left. -Akio: Screw this. You didn''t try to mingle in this society although it''s supposed that you have understand that it''s not bad. Akihiro goes silent and doesn''t give a response as he doesn''t want to enter a discussion with Akio to not make him sad. The first class starts.. -the teacher: Good morning, everybody. Today, a girl has moved to our school and she will be in this class. Come on. Emmy enters the classroom, some boys admire her beauty and she stands and looks at Akihiro and Akio with a smile.. -Emmy: I am Emmy and I live near by. Nice to meet you. -Student 1: Huh? Only this? -Student 2 sarcastically: Of course she will be transferred here in a secret mission. And everybody laughs.. -The teacher: Yes, she is here in a secret mission .. -Student 2 shocked: Huh???!!! The students sits and everybody¡¯s head down and silence has prevailed with confused faces of his honesty.. -Emmy: Well, since the teacher is out spoken, yes I am from the organization but I am a new member. Akihiro looks at the window on purpose to tell Emmy that he doesn''t care about her presence. And Akio rejoices with her advent. Emmy sees that and gets surprised that Akihiro became more distant from them.. -The teacher: Well, lucky for you the seat next to Akihiro ,by the window, isn''t occupied. As no one tries to sit next to him, he is a bit scary. Akihiro gives no impression on the teacher words..You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. -Emmy: Okay, I will go. -Akihiro thinking : ( Doesn''t this idiot understand? Aren''t my moves showing that I don''t accept her existence?!) - The students mumble: How can she accept to sit next to that person. No problem, she doesn''t know him. When she knows him, she will ask to be transferred from the whole school not just her seat. Hahaha this is true. - The teacher: Okay. Quite, and let''s start the class. The classes passed and the recess begins. Akihiro comes out alone from the classroom and Akio notices that. He reaches the school roof and sits there alone.. -Akihiro thinking : ( Why did things come to this point?! Why did fate decide for me to meet Akio?! If I had never met him, I wouldn''t have been like this now and I would have continued my way. Why do I feel guilty when I think about hating humans?! Is that because I know Akio?! Or that''s my human nature tries to overcome my feelings?!) -Emmy: It seems that you are lost in your thoughts, Akihiro. Akihiro is surprised by Emmy beside him as he didn''t notice her but he turns his face without giving her any attention.. -Emmy: Akihiro, why don''t you trust us or even give us a chance?! Akihiro stays silent and Emmy looks sad.. -Emmy: Do you think we will be bored and leave you because of those actions? If so, don''t worry, it won''t happened. Do what you wish but we won''t leave you because you are our friend and family. Akihiro doesn''t speak as if she doesn''t exist.. -Emmy: Listen carefully to these words. You are not right like this, no matter how foolish people are, not all humans are the same. There are the good and the bad. If all humans are bad ,you wouldn''t find someone like Akio or his family. Do you think that everything is the same? Do your prints like mine? Does the length of your fingers is the same? Does food has the same taste, color or condition? You just run like a coward. You don''t want to deal with us because you afraid of us. If you are brave, why would you run away from us and put up walls between you and us. You are nothing but a cowa- Akihiro suddenly stands and shouts.. -Akihiro: Shut up immediately. Get out of my sight , you scum. I don''t want to take advice from a ruthless scum who is the cause of my suffering as a child. You are a curse on this planet. You always take about the Bonsan that they are dangerous to us. Let it be known that this planet and what lives on it want the Bonsan to exterminate all humans. You are a moving scum. We are predators, killers, missed with this land. Why do you think you are the right side and the Bonsan are the wrong? They also want to live like you. At least they occupy and destroy other specie, but we only destroy each other, we capture each other¡¯s territory, we kill each other and also destroy the other species and pollute their environment and their land. You truly deserve nothing but death. If I join you, it''s not because I want to protect humans or because I trusted you, all I want is to protect Akio and those he loves, I don''t want him to be sad. So keep all this talk to yourself, I don''t need it. Get out of my face. Emmy gets shocked with Akihiro''s situation as she never saw it before. She gets sad and leaves to find Akio standing sadly at the door of the roof, she passed by him but he grabbed her arm and took her to the roof, and Akihiro sees him. -Akihiro: Why did you come back with her, didn''t you hear me telling her to leave. Akio''s face changes to anger.. -Akio: Emmy will stay here and eat with us so shut up and don''t say another word. This angers Akihiro and he decides to leave and not to sit with them. Emmy tries to stop him but Akio stops her.. -Akio: Leave him Emmy he won''t rest until he stays alone. Akio and Emmy sit down eating with sadness all over the place.. -Emmy: What happened to have all this hatred towards humans?! What is his past ,he is talking about?! How did we get into his childhood suffering?! -Akio: I don''t really know what happened to him before meeting me but when I met him as a child, he was in the Street next to us, he was sitting, hitting who approaching him till they went away and his eyes were filled with hatred, anger and pain. Everyone didn''t approach him because he was hurting them. But I decided to go to him and whenever I go , I gave him food and he kicked it and hit me. And I keep insisted on him and fought him to make him eat. I always failed to feed him, but one day I crept out to see this child. I heard someone crying in great pain and repeating ¡° Why did you do this to me?¡±.. ¡° Why did you make me in this situation?¡±.. ¡° Why did you take the most precious thing I have from me?¡± .. So I approaches the voice and I found it came from the place where Akihiro sits. Seeing him just crying, I felt a heaviness in my chest and a great sadness. With a shock that this person we saw in the morning with eyes full of hatred, pain and anger but now you can only see a great pain and unbearable sadness that is hard to describe in words. I approached him and hugged him and tried to comfort him. This was the first time I ever saw him like this, obeying me and calm, surrendered to me and didn''t resist at all as if he was waiting for this moment when he finds a heart that loves and guards him from this cruel world. I really felt that this was the least thing I should do. A child like me crying with this heartburn!! Why do I feel a heaviness in my chest by seeing him cry? What he had been through, to be like that? In that day, I went home with him. I took him with me because I decided that he will live with me. My parents agreed and treated him like their son. And when I was sitting to do my homework, I found him helping me with it so we knew he was at school, studying. We tried to ask him where is his family but he refused to answer, even when we asked him about what happened before , to come here but he didn''t answer anyone. So we decided that he will enter the school with me. He really looked distinct and smart but he didn''t contact with anyone and kept away from anyone trying to open any conversation with him. He didn''t have q friend but me and when he was in prep, he asked my father to buy him a house to live alone as he wanted to be autonomous. My father refused at the beginning but later he agreed to buy him the house on condition that he would provide for him which what Akihiro agreed to after that. They respected his decision and didn''t want to interfere in his cause to not bother him but he promised them that he would visit us from time to time. That''s what I know about him. Akio looks at Emmy and finds her dropping tears. Akio is shocked.. -Akio: What''s the matter with you?? Why are you crying? Emmy wipes her tears and smiles.. -Emmy: Don''t worry, just imagine what is behind Akihiro is so painful. And I am a bit sensitive thus I cried easily. I should have considered his situation. If I know him more and knew this about him, I wouldn''t have told him this harsh talk. No one feels the other or knows what''s inside of them, every person advises other without thinking about the cause of their situation. Akio smiles and stands.. -Akio: I will go ahead of you to the classroom before the class starts. Akio is walking towards the door to find Akihiro standing behind it listening to their conversation. Akio smiles to Akihiro.. -Akio: It seems that you saw her crying for you and this is what I wanted to convey to you, that not everyone is bad and that there are people like me deserve your kindness and trust. I hope that you understand my words. Come on, I will go ahead of you now, let''s meet in the class.. Akio goes and Akihiro decides to come to the roof. Emmy is surprised by him and the two stand in front of each other, apologizing together at the same time.. -Emmy: I apologize for what happened .. -Akihiro: I apologize for my behavior.. They both are surprised by this but they regain their calmness.. -Akihiro: I have been mistaken about you, I didn''t care for your words and treated you badly since your coming. I am ready afraid to trust anyone and I don''t want to lower my defense easily in front of anybody. Emmy smiles.. -Emmy: It was also my fault that I was a little fast to be your friend. I wanted to be friends with you as soon as possible but I had to give every step its right and didn''t rush out to not put pressure on you. Akihiro smiles to Emmy for the first time.. -Akihiro: Well, I will accept you as my friend so don''t waste this opportunity from your hand and don''t let me down. Emmy is very happy with this.. -Emmy: Don''t worry. I will never let you down. To be continued¡­ Ch.9: The power of the Aura Ch.8: The power of the Aura -Hajime: Well, today you will learn something that will help you in your tasks and fights which is the aura surrounding you. You can finish simple battles with the power of your aura but in the strong ones you need force to end them. -Akihiro: And how can we control it, Hajime? Hajime smiles with a look of happiness.. -Hajime: well done with this question. The answer is easy, the aura depends on feelings, even when you don''t control it, it''s around you but in the inert state. The more powerful your feeling get, the greater the intensity but its expansion depends on your strength. The more you train and increase your stamina and strength, the greater your ability to expand to a farther distance. And the stronger your feelings, the greater the intensity and the more you will affect others. Of course you are asking me how there is fighting between auras. The idea is that the stronger and powerful is the one to break the aura surrounding the other person, making him feel it. But this is only used against the weak but even if the powerful feel it, they won''t shake at all by it but it will make them know what you feel. -Akio: Can someone control his aura and hide it completely? -Hajime: Sure, you can but you should know how to control it. The three try to control and expand it.. Hajime notices there is no result in their evolution without any stimulus. He doesn''t see any vibration in the aura around them, which doesn''t promise any interaction.. -Hajime: Ok then, we will try a stimulus.. let''s try with you, Akihiro. Akihiro looks closely and with interest to Hajime.. -Hajime thinking: ( Well, we can use this to solve this boy''s mystery. I will try to remove some of the obscurity from his unknown past) Suddenly, Hajime''s face changes to a smile and eyes unleash contempt and evil.. -Hajime: Where is your stupid family? Leaving their son like that without any care, no foolish father could do this. Let them go to hell.. Akihiro is shocked but suddenly his face turns into furious and an unruly aura emerges from him which the room drowns in. An aura of great hatred and anger. A great thirst for blood and murder. Both Akio and Emmy fall down terrified with sweat falling from the intensity of their fear. Hajime and Hachiro are shocked by the intensity of those feelings..Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. -Akihiro: Take your words back, you scum. Hajime is surprised by Akihiro¡¯s words but he behaves rationally.. -Hajime: Ok, I take them back. Akihiro then calms down and leaves in complete silence.. -Hajime thinking: ( What happened now? What happened to his family to feel all this anger and thirst for blood? How bad is the past if this boy to feel all these negative emotions?!) Hachiro looks to Akio and Emmy.. -Hachiro: Will you still be sitting like this? Both Emmy and Akio stand and Hajime looks seriously.. -Hajime: Well, Akio. You already told us about how you met Akihiro, but are you sure you don''t remember anything about what happened to him when he was young? Didn''t he tell you anything or did you notice anything strange?! Akio tries to remember and then looks seriously to Hajime.. -Akio: No Hajime, he didn''t tell me anything and he didn''t do anything strange. I really don''t understand why he doesn''t tell me what had happened to him. -Hajime : It is better not to insist on it, as you have seen it seems so painful that he doesn''t want to speak at all or remember it. The idea here that I care about his past because I think it has a connection with how Akihiro got those two rare abilities and what is their condition with him, and did the Dioborikita really left him or it just a trick? Akio and Emmy are shocked.. -Akio: What do you mean? Could she be there?!! Do you mean that Akihiro fool us?!! -Hajime: Of course he doesn''t fool us. I think that the Dioborikita didn''t leave him and that she deceived him for some reason. I thought of it and this is an unusual behavior. Why didn''t she kill him as long as she left him? I think she is hiding within him and waiting for the right time to reappear, just like the Celestial Dragon did. - Akio thinking: ( I didn''t expect to come to this situation one day, Akihiro. What does the future hold for us?) -Emmy: Can we go to see him, Hajime? -Hajime: Alright, go. Both Akio and Emmy leave.. -Hachiro: What do you think, sir? Is Akihiro going to be a danger on us? Hajime smiles enthusiastically.. -Hajime: Who knows Hachiro! Who knows! But I am ready for any possibility, I will crush him with my bare hands. Akio and Emmy are looking for Akihiro but without trace.. -Akio: We didn''t search the headquarters¡¯ garden, let''s go there. They both go together and find him sitting in the garden behind the headquarters, his back towards it looking at the flowers in front of him.. -Akio: Akihiro. Akihiro turns his head to find Akio and Emmy.. -Akihiro: Uh. Welcome. -Emmy: Do you like flowers? Akihiro smiles a kind and a nice smile.. -Akihiro: Yes. They remind me that one day I thought that this world is the most beautiful. Akio and Emmy show sad faces hearing Akihiro¡¯s words with his quiet and sad voice.. -Emmy: Akihiro, I completely believe that one day this world will comeback beautiful in your eyes.. -Akihiro: I don''t think so, at least for the time being to see it like that. -Akio: The world isn''t eternal comfort, Akihiro. It must stand against you sometime. It''s not completely comfort and not everything exhausted. Not all of happiness or grief, it''s a mix of all this Akihiro. At least me and Emmy are something good that happened to you or you have another opinion. He says it joking and smiling and Akihiro laughs a little laugh.. -Akihiro: Thank you. I hope for that day to come when I will see this world better than it was. Emmy and Akio smile with a nod approving on his words.. To be continued¡­ Ch.10: The First Mission Ch.10: The First Mission -Hajime: Good morning, promising team. Prepare yourselves cause you have a mission today. Hajime looks at them with a smiling face and the stands before him ready for the mission.. -Akio: And what about the school? -Hajime: What do you think about moving to our own school? It''s like regular school but with a skill training to improve your strength. His face turned from smiling to serious and he was looking at them with sharp eyes as he said those words.. -Akihiro: And is it the reason to improve our skills or to be freer in our missions, or to keep an eye on us? Akio and Emmy look at Akihiro nervously as if they are telling him not to go so far.. -Hajime: Well Akihiro, as long as you want honesty and the true answer , then the answer is the three together. Both Akio and Emmy are shocked but Akihiro looks without any shocking expressions as if he knew and expected this.. -Akio: But how could you keep an eye on us? Do you not trust us? You are the ones who asked us to join you, this is the biggest proof that the idea of suspecting us as spies or traitor is illogical. -Hajime: Why did you get it this way? We just want to reassure on you. Any enemy tries to play with your mind, or wants to hurt you. We just want to be reassured on you. You are promising in the end. Hajime looks at Akihiro and he can only see eyes of suspicion and caution, while Akio and Emmy reassured that it wasn''t as they thought.. Hajime thinking: ( It seems that he doesn''t believe me. That''s what is expected from him in the end, he doesn''t trust anyone easily. )Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. Hajime smiles and begins to tell them about the mission.. -Hajime: Your mission is to investigate in the disappearance of people in the city of Sapporo in Hokkaido. The people there told us that there are people who come out and didn''t come back and with no trace, and they asked for our help, so get ready to go. - The team in one voice: Yes, Sir. They leave to prepare themselves and Hachiro begins talking to Hajime.. -Hachiro: Then what''s your initial view about the team, sir? Hajime looks at Hachiro with a calm face.. -Hajime: This team will be one of the strongest teams. The power of The Celestial Flames. The Celestial Dragon. And Emmy''s healing power which will develop soon which I see that will be a significant healing force. And the Dioborikita ability which we doubt that she has gone. If this team develop, it will beat the pioneers. Hachiro is shocked with his talk.. -Hachiro: Don''t you think you exaggerated when you said they would beat the pioneers? I don''t think they were so weak that children can reach them so easily. -Hajime smiling: The days will prove my words, Hachiro. Just let us be patient. ( In Akio and Akihiro¡¯s room ) -Akio: Didn''t you speak too much to Hajime? -Akihiro: Yes, I apologize for this, I made a mistake. Akio is surprised by Akihiro¡¯s reaction.. -Akio: It''s weird!! You have never agreed with me on anything easily, you always cling to your opinion. Is there any thing you''re hiding from me?! Akihiro looks to Akio and smiles.. -Akihiro: Don''t worry. There is nothing, just this time I am convinced with your talk. -Akihiro thinking : ( Don''t worry, Akio. I didn''t change and I don''t agree on your words but I just don''t want you to think too much and trouble you. I will protect you from any danger. I will not be weak any more. I will not lose anyone else in my life. I am not prepared for this at all. I will not allow to repeat what happened in the past.) Those words were going through his mind with angry and serious face.. They meet Emmy in the way to the leader room.. -Akio: Oh Emmy, it seems that we finished in the same time. Emmy notices them and smiles.. -Emmy: You look great in your official uniforms. -Akio: You too Emmy, it suits you a lot. -Emmy: Well, let''s continue our way , it seems that our mission won''t be easy. They continue their way to the leader room.. -Hajime smiling: Welcome. You look wonderful in your official uniforms. Well, there is a car will take you there. Don''t risk too much and if you find that it is not going well, don''t hesitate to contact us. -Akio smiling and enthusiastic: Alright. Don''t worry about us, we are not weak. Hajime smiles lightly and looks at Akihiro.. -Hajime: Akihiro, don''t exhaust yourself too much, we are also here. Akihiro looks at him with a serious look but he doesn''t show any response and turns back to leave the room.. -Akihiro thinking : ( Don''t show this compassionate face while talking to me idiot. ) To be continued... Ch.11: A New Evil Appears Ch.11: A New Evil Appears The team goes to the car and takes it to the place of the mission assigned to them.. -Akio: I am excited. This is our first mission together. -Akihiro: Don''t rejoice so much, we don''t know what is waiting for us. You may not feel that enthusiasm after knowing what the danger waiting for us is. Akio looks at him and sweats with a smiley and tense face.. -Akio: Why do you like to end anything nice I feel?! Akihiro looks at him surprised.. -Akihiro: What? I speak rationally, do you think we are going to play? Akio gets angry and looks at Akihiro with anger.. -Akio: No, I know very well what we are going to, but I have to enthuse myself to be able to do my best, but you don''t understand these things, you only have serious and hopeless words. Akihiro gets shocked with Akio''s words and gives no response. Emmy intervenes before it develops.. -Emmy: Come on guys, you don''t need to fight, it''s not worth it. Akio calms down and knows that he had said something that shouldn''t be said.. -Akio: I''m sorry , Akihiro, I didn''t mea- Akihiro interrupted him with no expression on his face as he looks forward and doesn''t look at him.. -Akihiro : There is no need to apologize, you''re right, I don''t understand so much except seriousness and serious talk even if it gives despair. Akio is loathing of himself and tries to fix it , and Emmy looks at Akihiro sadly.. -Akio: No, you are not just that.. - The driver: We are in Sapporo.. Akio is surprised.. -Akio: Already!! Is it that close?! - The driver: Yes, it''s not far from our headquarters. Take this paper, it''s an address for an old hero, go there and he will meet you. Akio takes the paper and they get out of the car.. -Emmy smiles enthusiastically: well, let''s go to this address to start our mission. The team is walking in the city surprised by the unprecedented calmness as it¡¯s known that there are many people living there. They followed the address until they arrived.. -Akio hems and haws: I will knock the door. He knocks the door and the team is ready for what they going to see. The door opens , and the hero is a man in the age of 55, a tough and a tall man with sharp looks and strong presence.. -The man: Are you the team from the Orbikus? The team looks at him fearfully. And Akio speaks.. -Akio: Y- Yes we are. Suddenly the hero''s face changes to a smiley and a cheerful man.. -The man: Welcome my little darlings, please come in. The three enter the house after they have calmed down by seeing his smiling face.. -The man: I am Hisashi and I was a hero in the Orbikus. I retired 10 years ago after feeling that my strength had weakened and I couldn''t do well in the fights. But in this period there is a strange disappearance of the people of this city. And I think it is not normal and someone is definitely behind it. The team faces are characterized by seriousness and concentration.. -Akio: So our task is to find that person and end this mess.. -Hisashi: Yes, that''s it.. -Akio : well then, we will start now so we don''t waste more time than this.. -Hisashi: No, you should rest and I will try to provide you with enough information to focus your searches in the places where he appears.. -Akio: well, at least we will help you.. -Hisashi: Don''t worry, it''s enough that you came to protect the people including an old man who couldn''t do anything to protect them, I want to do something useful at least.. Akio and Emmy looks admiringly to this hero amid his smile to them.. -Akihiro thinking: ( I don''t understand this man, why he fights for doing anything for these people?! Anyone in his place will try to get any trouble away from him. Why does he do all this? Does that what means to be a hero?!! Do people really deserve to be protected?!) -Hisashi: Now, go upstairs and you''ll find two rooms so you can rest until tomorrow and I''ll be finished my work.. -Akio: Well sir, you got this. Be careful and if you need any help feel free to tell us.. -Hisashi: Alright, you got this.. They went to their rooms and Hisashi began collecting information.. ( In Akihiro and Akio''s room ) Akio noticed that Akihiro isn''t the same and his mind is scattered with many ideas and questions.. -Akio: You can tell me what''s going on in your mind and I''ll help you find their answers. Akihiro is surprised by Akio¡¯s sudden words.. -Akihiro: How did you know that there is something going on in my mind? -Akio: Do you underestimate the time we lived with each other, I almost can understand your status from your actions, so what are you thinking about? Akihiro looked at the ground and began to arrange his thoughts with signs of seriousness on his face.. -Akihiro: I no longer understand what''s going on around me. Why that hero is going to the trouble of finding information that could be dangerous to him? He is no longer a hero in the organization to do that and he certainly is no longer in his former strength to face any danger. Do people really deserve all this of him? I don''t understand anything anymore.. Akio smiled after hearing Akihiro''s talk of what he saw as a great opportunity to correct his thoughts about humans and create a new one in his mind.. -Akio: Before I came here ,I went to Hajime to ask about our mission and I knew that there was a hero how would welcome us and I learned a lot about him when I asked Hajime. This hero has actually retired because his power weakened but he didn''t tell us the cause of the weakness of his strength. 10 Years ago, he was one of the strongest heroes and he was a strong candidate to be the leader of the organization of the Orbikus, so how could he be weak as a candidate for such a position? Akihiro is shocked after hearing Akio¡¯s talk.. -Akihiro: A candidate for the position of the leader of the organization while his power is supposed to be weakened, do you mean that something happened unexpectedly caused him to weaken?!! -Akio: This is it, Akihiro, something unexpected happened that made him weaken because of it. What happened was that on a last mission before the election for the leader began, he was fighting with Hajime and a group of heroes, a group of mighty bad guys and there were innocent people in the fighting area whose Hajime went to protect and take away from the fighting area, so one of the bad guys took advantage of this and attacked Hajime and the people with him and he didn''t gave the time to escape or defend them so he decided to receive the whole attack to protect them. But he was surprised by the arrival of someone very quickly to receive the attack instead of him, it wasn''t clear to him because of the speed and the smoke from the attack, and after the smoke dissipated, the one who saved them appears. It was Hisashi who received the attack and because of it his strength had weakened. No one knows the reason for this but because of it he didn''t become the leader, although Hajime and those who were nominated give it up to him. But he said to them: -Hisashi: This organization exists to protect people from any imminent danger and its leader must be trusted, I don''t want any pity in these situations and I won''t take this position because I don''t have me strength which you nominated me for this position because of. That¡¯s why I apologize and announce my retirement as a member of the organization but I will remain a hero till my final breath..This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. After this he went to his house and without warning he found someone knocking the door, he opened the door to find the people he had protected from the attack with Hajime who told him that they asked about his place because they wanted to tell him something. And suddenly he found them on their knees crying and apologizing strongly that they were the reason of this condition and they wanted him to ask for anything to compensate him , and Hajime''s face filled with sadness as he looked down .. But he only told them that it wasn''t their fault but this is his duty as a hero and it was destined to him not to be the leader of the organization and he was never regretful for what he did, and he wanted from them to take care of themselves and to be careful not to enter into any life-threatening problems.. Akio continues amid Akihiro¡¯s sever shock and distracted thoughts.. -Akio: If you want a perfect example of a hero, you can look at Hisashi, and his story shows and confirms my words that humans aren''t all bad, not because of some of those you dealt with at the beginning of your life and were bad so you generalized badness to all people. If you don''t understand now, Akihiro, I know you Will understand this in the near future because I trust you are not stupid and you know the right from the wrong.. Akihiro looks down with a hesitant and sad face.. -Akio: Well, let''s sleep to get some rest . The two slept and hours later Akihiro woke up because he was thirsty and decided to go for a drink of water, and while he was going to drink, he found a lighted room downstairs so he went downstairs to find Hisashi still awake and immersed in ordering the information he had collected, so Akihiro went out to him.. -Akihiro: You really are weird.. Hisashi heard this and was surprised with his talk while Akihiro continued.. -Akihiro: You exhaust yourself even though it isn''t your duty, saving people who you don''t know whether they will thank you for this even if it''s not directly in front of you or won''t care about you even within themselves.. I don''t really understand you.. -Hisashi smiling: So this is what you were thinking about.. Akihiro is surprised by his words.. -Hisashi: Haha, yes, I knew you were thinking about my talk and it seems that it''s against your opinion. I can now know what is distracting you and how I will answer it. The concept of a hero isn''t someone who has the power but is anyone who faces his fear and hesitation and protects or saves someone even if this will threaten his life, that''s why I continue to be a hero even if I retired, I left a position not my duty as a hero. It¡¯s a hero''s character that he doesn''t care if he receives an offensive or thanks or nothing of those he protected, he does this because he wants to do it and because he wants to achieve the peace and the security he wants for the world. To work as a hero to win fame or money isn''t a hero''s character and thus humiliates the hero''s title. I won''t say that all humans are wonderful and kind , of course there are bad ones , so it is our task to clean the human race from these groups, which pollute its beauty and this is a mission of the hero. So if I live or die, I will wait for you, Akihiro, to do what we could not finish.. Akihiro was surprised by his talk and looked down with a face of hesitation and sadness.. -Akihiro: You just want to gain my confidence by tricking me with beautiful words.. Hisashi laughed after hearing Akihiro¡¯s words.. -Hisashi: Ok Akihiro Come on, go to sleep to take a good rest for your mission tomorrow and I will finish my work and tomorrow I will inform you of the information I have collected.. Akihiro went after his words and did not give any response or expressions on his talk.. -Hisashi thinking: ( I wish you success, my juniors, you will be the heroes of the future.) The morning came and the team came out of their rooms ready for the mission and they found Hisashi waiting for them sitting on the dinning table .. -Hisashi: Sit down. Hisashi began showing the results of collecting information after they all sat down.. -Hisashi: The results of my research are not many, but this map specifies the places in which he appeared according to witnesses'' statements and they told me that sometimes they heard screaming and when they went to the place they did not find anything as if they were completely gone, and these places are alleys and they seem to disappear in these places only, and according to what I gathered, there is certainly someone behind all this. I apologize because my information is not very useful but that''s what I could collected and I kept awake trying to extract anything but the evidence did not help me much in understanding things, I''m sorry. -Akio: No, no, you have done a really good job thank you so much, you facilitated the search on us, well let''s go. -Hisashi: I want to tell you something before you go. Firstly, the hero is not someone who has the power to transcend others but to protect those who are weaker than him even if he is someone with powers like him. Secondly, your strength is a double-edged weapon that you can save and can kill so do not let it go beyond your control and kill innocent people. Thirdly, beware of yourself. Beware of what is within you.. It may blind you to the right way and portray the wrong was as the right one. Well, that''s what I wanted to say to you. Thank you for listening. Akio and Emmy look at him admiringly while Akihiro is with the features of grief and deep thought.. -Akio: Thank you really. We will never forget these tips. Come on let us go friends. The three go out of the house and start investigating and Hisashi looks at Akihiro with a smile.. -Hisashi: I wish I could help you, Akihiro. The three come out of the door.. -Akio: Well, let''s scatter to the places on the map and look for any evidence and when one of us finds something, communicates with others. -Emmy with a childish face: We did not exchange the phone numbers with each other as I think. Akio looks at her and can not understand how he missed this. But he quickly regains his senses.. -Akio: Well, let''s exchange our numbers. The three exchange their numbers.. -Emmy smiling: These are the first boys'' numbers to add to my phone. -Akio cheerfully: This is awesome, and I and Akihiro this is the first time we take a girl number. Emmy looks to Akihiro smilingly.. -Emmy: You see, Akihiro, you are one of the first boys to add their number to my phone as I am the first girl you have, this wonderful ,right? Akihiro looks at her without showing features of happiness but suddenly he smiles.. -Akihiro: Yes, that''s great. The two are surprised by Akihiro''s unusual reaction but they do not comment on it.. -Akio: Well, let''s part then. Each of them goes to a different way}l and starts the search. ( From Akio¡¯s side ) -Akio thinking: ( Almost entirely there is no one on the streets because of this problem, how will there be evidence like this) Akio continues his search but notices something strange in an alley between two houses and he goes to examine it. He gets close to and he is shocked of what he saw, blood in the form of a hand as if its owner wanted to be noticed by one of the passers-by to save him? and the features of fear and terror are on Akio''s face.. -Akio: W- What is this? !!! What happened to the man with that hand ?! ( From Akihiro¡¯s side ) Akihiro walks to find anything that helps.. -The Celestial Dragon: (Why are you upset that much, Akihiro?) Akihiro is surprised by the Celestial Dragon but soon returns to his natural features.. -Akihiro within himself: (Do not worry just that there are a lot of ideas have not become fixed in my mind.) -The Celestial Dragon: ( It seems that Hisashi''s words make your thinking distracted right?) -Akihiro: ( Yes.) -The Celestial Dragon: ( I understand your thinking, but you have to remember Akio''s talk, not all humans are bad, I agree with him in this, humans are a container of many things that are generated by experiences, feelings, beliefs, ideas and many things. And because of this you see the difference from person to person, you may see the difference in the same family between the two brothers. For this protecting the people have priority after this see whether he is worth or not. The world is not bad as a whole in the end, If it was that bad ,you would not find someone like Akio and Emmy. So do not think too much about this and trust that you are on the right way.) Akihiro suddenly smiles and the turmoil inside him calms down.. -Akihiro: ( Even though you are still a new ability who have emerged from not so much time but you help me with your talk, thank you.) -The Celestial Dragon: ( I have been living inactive within you and I know who you are, but I see you are beginning to change.) -Akihiro You seem to have also noticed that, it''s supposed that I have lived my life showing what is not inside me, but now I''m exposed.) -The Celestial Dragon: ( Haha, this is really great, your character will evolve for the better through your unusual experiences ,and you will be a mature person more than now .) Akihiro continues to walk without replying the last talk of the Celestial Dragon and still has not found anything unusual.. ( From Emmy¡¯s side ) Emmy was on her way without finding anything until she felt that there is no use of her search, but suddenly as she walks near an alley, she hears strange sounds and goes to this alley to hide and look at what is happening, and gets shocked of what she saw. A 25-year-old boy carries a sword, has a curly hair and a face with the features of thirst for blood and evilness , stabs a defenseless man which ends his life, and the boy then drops the body to the ground and puts his hand on it.. -The strange boy: Well be a food to me, you prey. Suddenly she finds as it is a black wind coming out of the boy''s hand and surrounding the body, and suddenly the body disappears with its clothes and blood and the strange wind returns to the boy''s hand. Emmy gets shocked and makes a sound with her mouth of the intensity of the fear ,and the boy hears her, and looks towards her to see what is there, and he sees her , a wicked smile filled with malice that Emmy sees on the face of the boy. - The strange boy : It seems that my hunting will increases today by you little one.. Emmy is running fast and calling Akio.. -Akio: Yes Emmy, Did you find something? -Emmy: I found the offender and he saw me, come quickly , he is following me. Suddenly Akio hears Emmy screaming in the phone ,and he yells at the phone.. -Akio: Emmy. Emmy, where are you? Tell me. Damn. Akio starts running and calls Akihiro in hope that one of them will be near her as he knows that she is not using combat skills yet.. -Akihiro: What is the- Akihiro does not complete his sentence as he hears Akio screaming in the phone and tells him that Emmy is in danger and does not know where she is. The features of shock are on Akihiro''s face and quickly turn to the features of worry and fear. And he starts to run fast searching of her.. -Akihiro: Celestial Dragon, strengthened my speed and my physical strength, and also strengthened my senses so that I can know her place. - The Celestial Dragon: ( Alright Akihiro, you got this.) ( At Emmy ''s side ) -The strange boy: What do you do with this phone, little girl? Do you want anyone to know about me? You know I''m going to be in danger like that, right? You do not want me to be in danger, do you? The boy talks to Emmy with the features of evil, insanity with blood, a broad smile filled with evil and a thirst for blood and murder on his face, Emmy on the ground as he has attacked her phone to tell no one about him, making her scream fearing of the attack, with the features of horror and fear on her face.. -Emmy within herself: ( Akihiro, Akio, please hurry to save me otherwise I will completely disappear from existence.) - The strange boy: Oh, you''re a young girl and you have a beautiful face and body, what do you think about amusing ourselves by distorting them before we kill you? A hysterical laugh of the boy , and terror on Emmy''s face, and she doesn''t move because of her great fear.. - The strange boy: Well, let''s begin with your beautiful face first. He raises his sword to start his attack, she closes her eyes, descends her head down surrendering to what will happen.. And when he takes the decision to start, Akihiro suddenly emerges from the alley besides them very quickly, he draws his fist towards him but puts his sword to the defense, the Celestial Dragon notes that so he enhanced the hardness of Akihiro''s hand, then Akihiro blows the sword with the boy, flying backwards and swinging on the ground from the severity of the strike but he quickly regains his balance and stops moving backwards. Emmy opens her eyes and finds Akihiro standing in front of her and his back facing her with a serious face.. -Emmy crying: Akihiro, you finally arrived. Akihiro turns to her to finds her crying and gets shocked by this, he turns back and looks at the boy and this shock turns into a rage, and the boy looks at him with a wicked smile and enthusiastic features.. - The strange boy: It looks like it will be a little longer, but it''s okay, the more the preys increase, the more the satisfaction. To be continued... Ch.12: A wicked hero Ch.12: A wicked hero Akihiro stands ready with an angry face after seeing Emmy''s crying face and the strange boy looking with a smile of enthusiasm and a thirst for blood and murder.. -The strange boy: Come on, boy, show me what you have, let me enjoy this fight, make me feel like you''re a prey worthy of all this effort. -Akihiro: And you prove to me that you are a person worthy of wasting my time with him, you bastard. The boy gets angry from his words and presses his teeth together.. -The strange boy: You seem to have a long tongue that must be cut before devouring you, you despicable. The boy attacks with great speed, and waves his sword towards Akihiro''s neck but by strengthening Akihiro''s senses he captured the sword movement, and he puts his arm in front of the sword and the Celestial Dragon strengthens the hardness of the skin of Akihiro''s body to withstand the sword, but the strange boy suddenly moves the sword before hitting it with Akihiro''s arm for the other direction, and waves it towards Akihiro who gets shocked and jumps back in an attempt to avoid the strike but it hits him with a horizontal injury on his chest. Akihiro is a little hurt amid Emmy screaming for fear of him.. -Emmy: Akihiro. Are you okay?!! -Akihiro: Do not worry it is not deep, it''s only a superficial wound. -The strange boy: Hahaha, you young youth are interesting. -Akihiro: Why do you talk like an old man, even though you are close to our age and young like us? The strange boy smiles enthusiastically.. -The strange boy: So you finally noticed that I was talking this way. As you was saying I am talking like an old man. Akihiro and Emmy are shocked from what they heard from him.. -Akihiro: How can you look like this and be old, so that''s why you devour the victims after killing them, you do not actually devour them but you devour their time.. -Emmy is shocked: what ?! Devour their time?!!! -The strange boy with a frightening face and a wicked smile: Well said, I''m taking their time and adding it to me so you see that I''m still young, you seem smart to notice this with such a simple tip. Well, as long as you know the secret, you should not live any more than this, little one. Suddenly the strange boy attacks Akihiro and raises the sword vertically aiming to cut Akihiro to half with his sharp sword, and Akihiro can not find the time to avoid it because of the speed of the strange boy.. -Akihiro thinking : (I will not survive like that. ) And when the sword falls on Akihiro, Akio suddenly appears before him, standing with his hand wrapped in his flames and blocking the sword with the back of his hand before it falls on Akihiro.. -Akihiro: Akio !! when did you come ?!! Akio turns his face back to look at Akihiro, smiling confidently.. -Akio: I had arrived, when you revealed his ability.. -The strange boy: The prey increases in number clearly, this is really fun. The strange boy jumps back and does not change the expression of his face full of evil and thirst for murder and blood.. -Akio: Well, I think we have the advantage now, surrender in order to minimize the damage that will befall you. -Akihiro: Do not rejoice so much Akio this boy did not get anything out of his sleeve, I doubt that his ability is limited only to absorb the time of others, it''s certainly has a combat force and advantages other than making him young. The strange boy laughs hysterically and loudly.. -The strange boy: I was not wrong when I said you are smart boy, It seems that I have to end your life here so that you won''t be a nuisance anymore. But do not worry, so far, I do not need to show anything of my special abilities because I can finish you without using them. The boy is attacking Akihiro very quickly, but this time Akihiro is well prepared to respond to the boy''s attack.. The boy approaches and on his arrival to Akihiro he throws his sword into his left hand holding the sword with the blade out waving it toward Akihiro, trying to divide him into two halves from his chest but Akihiro expects this movement and repels it. Akio appears behind the strange boy jumping toward him and preparing his fist wrapped in flame.. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. -Akio: Taste my flames, you bastard. Akio approaches him but he suddenly raises his right hand, holding a dagger and swings repelling Akio''s attack, and pushes Akio away, and kicks Akihiro with his left leg sending him away from him.. - The strange boy: It seems that your experience in fighting is little and also naive.. -Akihiro thinking : ( Since when has he had this dagger?!) -Akio thinking: ( This is true, this is our second fight, but we are matching him, and this is a development in our fighting.) -Emmy thinking : ( It does not bode well. This boy hides things we may not be able to encounter.) Suddenly the strange boy stands without showing his former features and does not appear ready for any attack.. -The strange boy: It seems that I will use one of the advantages of my ability to finish it quickly. Suddenly he disappears in front of them and appears behind Akio waving his sword towards Akio''s waist.. -Akio thinking: ( Impossible, he actually disappeared. He will hit me, my body isn''t moving.) Suddenly, behind the strange boy, Akihiro appears aiming his fist toward him with an angry face.. -Akihiro: Stay away from Akio, you scum. But he disappears again and appears behind Akihiro directing his sword towards his neck and Emmy screams.. -Emmy: Beware, Akihirooo. Suddenly, there is a fire punch moving towards the strange boy, he disappears away from it, and Akihiro stands on his legs, clutching his breath.. -Akio smiling proudly: You are not the only one who has advantages of his ability, you time thief.. Without showing any signs but coldness, the strange boy looks at Akio, and Akihiro looks at Akio while he is sweating cause he was about to die, and smiled.. -Akihiro: You saved me ,Akio. Thank you. -Akio smiling: Do not thank me, this is my duty as a friend of you, idiot. -The strange boy: Don''t flatter yourselves little ones, I have not finished yet. -Hisashi: It seems to be as I expected, I felt like you''re behind all this, Sato. Suddenly, Hisashi appears on the battlefield, saying this sentence, the team is shocked from what they heard.. -Akihiro: How do you know his name and how do you know him? !! What''s going on here?!! Hisashi stands next to the team, looks towards Sato and the serious features fill his face.. -Hisashi: He is my friend, Akihiro, and a former hero in the Orbikus.. The team is shocked from what they heard . A Hero turns into a villain who kills innocent people?! This is unbelievable!! This was what they are thinking of.. -Akio: How can a hero be with this face, thirsty for blood and murder? You are kidding with us, sir, aren''t you? -Hisashi: I know it''s hard to believe but it''s the truth, he is a former hero. -Emmy: But what is the cause of his radical change? -Hisashi: His hatred of humans. He hated humans after his last mission in the Orbikus. He resigned and disappeared and we did not know where he was, but it seemed that fate had brought me back with him.. Akio and Emmy heard this take and the tension is shown on their faces and the first to come to their mind is Akihiro.. -Emmy thinking : ( Does this mean if Akihiro continues like this ,he will turn into this monster !! We can not allow this.) -Akio thinking : ( This is bad that Akihiro hears this talk. What will be his reaction ?! Please do not choose the wrong path.) -Akihiro thinking : ( Why am I afraid that I may become like him even though I am supposed to hate humans? Why do I reject the idea of being like him? Why? Why?!!) The features of tension and anxiety appear on Akihiro.. -Sato: Have you finished this boring talk? I want to devour you all. -Hisashi: Back away kids, I will take over him from now. -Akio: but.. -Hisashi: Don''t worry. You are tired enough, and you are not a match to him. Let me clean the filth that my friend left behind.. This is my duty as his friend.. Akio can not respond to him, and tells Emmy and Akihiro to step back to not hamper him and they respond to his talk.. -Emmy: Akio, why Akihiro is silent and did not reject your talk, although his nature can not be easily controlled by anyone?! -Akio: I do not really know, Emmy, but from what seems on his face, he is fighting himself now, let''s leave him and do not interfere in his decision, I trust that he will not choose a path that will make me his enemy.. -Sato: So you have decided to fight me alone, Hisashi. -Hisashi: Yes, I''m not like my youth, but I think I can match you Sato. Sato smiles a smile full of enthusiasm and Hisashi''s serious looks turn toward Sato.. To be continued... Ch.13: Akihiro explosion Ch.13: Akihiro explosion Sato and Hisashi stand before each other without moving.. And suddenly they move very quickly towards each other and begin the friction between them, blows and repel from both sides among the confusion of the team, and then they back away.. -Sato: So not much changes in you, you still have some skill and strength but I do not think you will stay so for a long time ha ha ha ha. -Hisashi: You still the same, talking a lot and do not do what you say in the end. Sato bites his teeth furious with Hisashi''s talk and the expressions of intense anger on his face.. -Sato: So I will make you regret every word you said to me, I will show you my real strength. The sword was absorbed into his hand and disappeared.. -Sato: I wish you a successful journey to your graves, heroes. His voice rings all over the place and they does not know his real place, suddenly, four of him appear around them and start attacking Hisashi. The four say: -Sato: Farewell, my friend. When they attacked, they took a sword out of their hands but were repulsed, A shield of air erected by Hisashi around him repulsed his attack and Sato shocked from what he see.. -Hisashi: You do not think I was sitting looking at the stars after my retirement, I was training as well. The four copies of Sato disappear.. -Sato: It seems that eliminating you will not be easy. Sato then appears and shoots two beams of his hands like swords and quickly attacks Hisashi who did the same and made two swords of the wind and attacked.. A bloody battle began between them, blows and bumps in the air so that they could only see the collision that occurs as a result of their clash, They hang in the air and Sato''s features are full of enthusiasm and thirst for murder and Hisashi keeps calm.. -Sato: You still have not lost your flexibility, Hisashi, but let''s see how long you will endure.. Sato attacks from the front and Hisashi moves his sword sending winds toward Sato, but he avoids it and continues towards Hisashi, leaving the distance between them less than one meter, and Hisashi waves his air sword to hit Sato but he avoids it flexibly, and he grabs Hisashi''s arm and throws him down, Hisashi is shocked by this move and collides with the ground destroying the street from the force of the throw, Hisashi stands again and looks up and doesn''t find him, and he is surprised by Akio''s screams.. -Akio: Watch out, he is behind you. Hisashi turns back to see Sato pouncing on him.. -Sato: Your end is now, Hisashiiiiii. Then a driving force pushes Sato back, destroying a building wall behind them.. -Hisashi: Do not forget that I control the wind, Sato. Sato looks at Hisashi and stands again and recovers his smile.. -Sato: Why do not you let me end you quickly, Hisashi? -Sato thinking : ( It seems I need to make a dirty move to open a way in his defense and end this, Hahaha It seems that the best solution are these promising heroes.) Suddenly Sato moves towards the team and Akio and Akihiro stand in front of him to repel him, but suddenly Sato is thrown away smashing a whole building beside them from the severity of the strike. Sato felt as if a huge fist had hit him, he just stands up to feel a strong aura full of anger, death threats towards him, and high air pressure and strength from Hisashi. The dust moves away and he can see fierce glances that could rip Sato''s heart out of his chest, glances that Sato never seen from Hisashi as long as he had known him.. -Sato: You became a despicable person and you must be wiped out. You attacked innocent people, killed them and devour their time, and now you are destroying your last chance to leave you alive by attacking the future of the organization. You have crossed your lines and I will not leave you alive anymore.. The team is stunned by the energy that has suddenly emerged from the former candidate for the presidency of the organization.. - Akio amazed: If this his strength after weakening it, how it was when he owned it all ! what is this huge difference between us and him!! We are nothing in front of him. -Sato thinking: ( It''s not going well. I do not have to show my trump card without being sure how strong he is to not burn it without thinking.) Sato decided to fight with caution to see how powerful Hisashi was after his sudden transformation, there was in front of him person who he always seen with this face in front of his enemies and he was always surprised about the feeling of their enemies when they see this looks of his friend Hisashi, The day when the enemy stands in front of Hisashi comes and knows their feelings? and the day came when he stands in the place of the enemy in front of Hisashi and knows their feelings, fear and dread of his gaze and the deadly aura hovering around him, Hisashi controls his aura as he has focused it around him and towards Sato so that the team does not feel it and get terrified as he knew very well how powerful it is. Sato stops looking at Hayashi and shows no movement, and without any warning he is surprised by an air sword heading towards him on his right, but at the last moment he moves away to be stabbed with a sword in his left leg, he falls to the ground and tries to bear the pain, and looks at Hisashi and finds him another person whom he has never seen before. A smile full of confidence and strength over his face as if he was sure he would win over him. -Sato thinking : ( Then this is Hisashi who the enemies see, I did not know he has such a scary face, it seems that I have to know the limits of his strength before he kills me.) Sato felt the threat he faces, he never thought that Hisashi had such a character, when he saw him he smiled because he knew he would not be a tough opponent, he knows that his strength has been reduced to half and also he knows that Hisashi is moving with his heart and he will not be able to fight with all his strength because in the end he was his teammate. The team members stood surprised by the force they saw, it has exceeded their expectations so they chose to sit and watch because they felt that Hisashi would be enough with this power.. -Hisashi: Is this what you have been saying for so long? You made me feel like you were going to be a strong opponent, but you seem to have become a child who likes to absorb people''s lives without getting a little tired, just wants the food ready, pathetic! Hisashi smiled mockingly as he looked at Sato. These glances made Sato furious and wanted to rehabilitate himself, then he smiled.. -Sato: Well, let''s fire up thus fight a bit. Sato stood on his legs, and Hisashi go towards him quickly turning into wind and Sato responded to Hisashi with turning towards him as a yellow light, until they collided with each other and began to exchange rapid blows between them, but they were not in their human form, but they were wind and light fighting. This continued for a few seconds until they stopped and returned to the Earth with their natural form. Hisashi no longer smiles as before but his looks are very serious, as is Sato.. -Sato: It seems that it will need to show all I have to finish it quickly. Suddenly Sato appears behind Hisashi stabbing him, but no blood or pain. Sato looks at his sword going through Hisashi''s body, surprisingly and he gets surprised that his body is an air that the sword will do nothing with. Then, an air-fist hits his right side and makes him fly away and another comes on the other side and hits him too, so he collided with a wall of a house and smashed it.. Looks of shock at what has happened now and they can not understand what is happening in front of them. And Hisashi''s glances remains unchanged as he looks toward Sato. Sato goes out of the rubble attacking Hisashi but he is met by a large group of swords moving towards him but Sato is repelling and avoiding them as far as he reaches Hisashi, trying to find out a weakness in this technique that he uses but to no avail, he tried cutting it in the hope that there is a part inside it that collects his aura body but did not reach anything. And a sword came toward him to stab him, but he moved away from Hisashi.. -Sato: ( It is confusing and difficult. I have not seen this technique before, although I was on his team. But it must have a weakness, it is difficult to have a complete technique and free from weaknesses but... where is it?) While he is thinking, he is attacked by many fists but he avoids them, then there is an air whip fired by Hisashi holding his leg and made his movement limited in the place after the whip grabbed him and swords are pouring down on him, and he can not find a solution but to repel and avoid them if he could. He tries cutting the whip but to no avail as he can not cut the air.. -Sato: ( This is an annoying ability I can not cut it and deal with Hisashi, only if I have the ability to touch him. What?! Wait a moment.) Sato recalls that he has learned how to control energy and that it is a powerful weapon towards intangible abilities.. -Sato: ( Alright, let''s try this.) Sato began to gather energy around his hands while avoiding the fists and the swords, and when he was ready, he tried to cut off the whip and succeeded, and Hisashi gets shocked and without leaving any chance for Hisashi to take his caution, he appeared before him and he stabbed Hisashi with his hand wrapped in energy in his stomach but this time was not like before, Hisashi is injured and falls down on his knees in front of Sato.. -Sato: What do you feel now kneeling in front of me, Hisashi? He said these words with a smile of arrogance and triumph on his face. Akio and Amy screamed Hisashi''s name fearing for him, and Akihiro only watched in silence.. Hisashi in pain: You knew that I would not be like the past and I would not bear your stab. -Sato: Of course I know this, you were receiving injuries and you could complete the fighting as if nothing had happened, your power has been weakened and your ability has been much stronger than now, and it was the reason for your great burden of your injuries but you are now weak and what is the fate of the weak?! Sato raised his sword to finish it and kill Hisashi and at the moment the sword came down, Akio came up ignite with fire and stops Sato''s sword with his fiery hand and looked at him with looks of anger and seriousness.. -Akio: It is our time to protect Mr. Hisashi, try to pass us first. Sato smiles as if he telling him that it would be fun. Sato retreated to give Akio a chance to get ready, Akio carried Hisashi after he fainted after Akio protected him and putting him at Emmy to medicate him.. -Akio: Take care of him, Emmy, I think your level of therapeutic ability will cure this wound. -Emmy: Yes, this is true, but have you not seen his power? You will not be able to confront him. Akio smiled and began to explain this.. -Akio: As you see, he underestimates us, so he will not start with us as he was fighting Mr. Hisashi, so our chance is to end this by surprise before he takes it seriously. -Emmy: This is true, then we have a chance even if it is little.. Well then I will try to do something useful and treating him, he may return to fight and increase the proportion of our chances to win. Emmy began to medicate Hisashi and Akio looked to Akihiro and asked if he would come with him but he found Akihiro clenches his hands strongly and looking at Hisashi without anger or anything, and he is surprised but this.. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. -Akio: Akihiro, are you alright? Akihiro woke and apologized and told him that he would help him because it is difficult for him. Akio did not think about asking him about his condition, it was not the right time and he thought it would be better to leave him alone so as not to put pressure on him in his thinking and affects negatively on him.. Akihiro, watching the fighting, felt that it was not strange to him and that it was like something in his mind but he did not know what it was, but he felt inside him something that angers him and tightens his chest. He was in a world other than the one they were living trying to find the answer so he did not show any interaction with anything he saw in the fighting. The Celestial Dragon felt what Akihiro was thinking but he preferred to remain silent and not try to help him find the answer. He thought that if he left Akihiro to know the answer by himself, it would be better for him.. -Sato: So you have decided to fight me together like the first time, okay, fine, you are not powerful enough to fight me individually. Sato began to attack and as Akio predicted, he did not use his madness speed, so Akio and Akihiro attack him together.. -Akihiro: ( Enhance me to the fourth level.) - The Celestial Dragon: ( I will not do this. You will not bear that power, it''s still early for you.) -Akihiro: ( Do it if you want me to fall down tired not dead.) The Celestial Dragon responded to Akihiro''s request because his view was strong. And he strengthened him at the moment of their arrival to Sato. Sato waved his sword towards Akihiro and Akihiro avoided the sword very quickly, and Akio attacked Sato with his fiery fist, Sato avoided the fist very quickly and hits Akio in the stomach with his fist and then hits him with his leg making him fly away, but he was surprised by a punch going towards him from Akihiro and decided to repel it but he felt that it was dangerous and changed his mind to avoid which was the right choice, after avoiding it, he felt wind that was not strong but showed that the punch would have smashed his bones.. Akio stands again and approaches Akihiro .. -Akio: Is there a development of my fire that would be useful against that person? Akihiro looked at Akio with serious looks.. -Akihiro: Of course there is but you will not be able to control it well at this level, you will die by it. -Akio: Did the Celestial Dragon tell you that?! -Akihiro: Yes, it is a fire that has changed its nature and has crossed the logic. Akio was surprised by Akihiro''s talk.. -Akio: Would not you change your habit and say things that people understand? Akihiro smiled and told him that he would know what he means one day and then they looked at Sato with serious faces.. -Akio: He really underestimates us, while we were talking, he could have been interrupted our conversation by a strong attack but he left us to talk as we want. -Akihiro: Why do not we show him that he is wrong, Akio ?! -Akio: We will make him regret his disdain, so be a complement to me, Akihiro, when he avoids my blows, hit him, let us be his prison with our successive attacks. Akio attacked and when he approached Sato he fired a large fire fist towards him and he jumped up to avoid it, but he gets shocked as he finds Akihiro waiting for him with a fist moving to his face, but he repels it by his sword which throwing him away smashing the ground beneath him, Akio jumps releasing multiple fire fists behind him and shoots them at Sato who is lying on the ground, beating him with successive and powerful blows and breaking the ground more beneath him. Both Akio and Akihiro stopped and approached cautiously to see if they had succeeded but Sato sprints toward Akio to cut him off. Akio could not do anything? he is surprised and can''t not avoid it, but Akihiro, with his strengthened speed managed to repel the attack with his arm. Sato is shocked by the hardness of Akihiro''s body, he thought he was also using an ability that hardening his body so he decided to start using energy when he attacks them, but he soon found Akihiro''s fist hitting his stomach and throws him away, smashing a wall behind him and spitting blood out of his mouth and he is in pain while looking to them.. -Akio: Thank you Akihiro. Without you I would have been severely injured. -Akihiro: I told you before that I will protect you until I die. -Sato: ( They have become more difficult than before, it is not that their level has risen or that their strength has evolved, their level and experience are still the same. I thought that the solidity of that boy''s body had a certain limit but it''s stronger than before, I hit him harder but he repelled it without effort and I was surprised that he had strong fists. But this is not the reason for their current strength, all this I can overcome and eliminate it, it''s just that they have become a team, they have come to understand each other. Haha, they remind me of the old days, Hisashi. That was why you get furious when I tried to kill them, You see the spirit of our team in the past, in them, I apologize Hisashi for what I do, but I know that humans do not deserve protection, they do not care about what will happen to who protecting them and all they care about is to survive whatever the sacrifices, now I want to end the life of that team more than ever, I will not let that team evolve, I will end their journey here and now.) The blood-thirsty features and the terrifying smile that shows his love for murder reappeared on his face and he began to stand again.. -Sato: I will start with the hardened boy to see how hard he is, with energy.. Sato disappears to appear in front of Akihiro and tries to stab him with the sword but it breaks and can not penetrate his body.. -Sato: ( W- What is this?!!) Akihiro looks at him with a smile of victory and Sato is shocked. And Akio appears with his fiery fist to hit Sato on his left side and makes him fly away but he stops agonized and bewildered at what he saw.. -Sato : ( This is not a hardening ability for sure, it is an enhancement but at a high level. How he could bear this level, he certainly does not have the strength to reach this level yet.) Sato decided to fight until Akihiro reached his limit because he would not be able to touch Akio or anyone with Akihiro''s enhanced speed, Sato used his super-speed to show over Akio this time, waving his sword at him, but Akihiro appears as Sato expected and stops the sword the he kicks Akihiro''s head but the speed of his vision of the movements made him prepare to kick by hardened his head so he did not budge but only a little and he grabs his leg, and before Sato attempts to attack Akihiro in order to leave his leg, Akihiro hit the ground with Sato strongly, making him spit blood. Akio jumps up with a big flaming ball and he throws it on Sato but he manages to get out of its field with his super speed.. -Sato: ( My ability depends largely on the speed of the movement and not the intensity of the strike so if the one in front of me can see the speed of my blows, I won''t be a match for him. It seems I must use my final weapon. Although I do not like using it because it feeds on my time but I have to do it and I will try to finish it quickly.) Sato stands steady, closed his eyes, does not move and his injuries began to disappear gradually, and Akio and Akihiro are surprised.. -Akihiro: Let''s attack quickly before he finishes it, he is recovering. The two attacked Sato and when Akihiro arrived he hit Sato but he disappeared, The both of them stood surprised at what happened and looked right and left searching for him but without a trace. Suddenly, Akio flew after a strong punch in his side, making him crawl, smashing the ground beneath him until he hit a wall of a house. Akihiro screams Akio''s name, and in no time a strong punch came to him from beneath, striking his lower jaw, making him fly up, he could not notice it but luckily the Celestial Dragon had noticed that something was approaching and would hit Akihiro''s lower jaw so he was able to harden the body of Akihiro. And when Akihiro became in the air, quick and successive strikes began on him and he could not do anything to them but the Celestial Dragon continues to hardened the body of Akihiro to minimize the damage, amid the screams of Amy with Akihiro''s name, she tried to speed up medicating Hisashi to help him. Sato stopped beating and Akihiro fell down but he tried to stand up and the damage was not so severe that he could not stand up, and then Sato started talking. -Sato: Akihiro. I was trying to remember when I heard this name before then I remembered, Are not you a member of that family who was killed by that person with the people of your town! Akihiro''s expressions change to shock.. -Akihiro: How do you know about me and my family, what is your relationship to it? !! Sato starts laughing and then he talks.. -Sato: That person hired assassins and offered an attractive amount of money to those who find you and kill you, And I am one of them and luckily you came to me of your own volition and will make me rich Hahahaahaaha. Suddenly an aura of hatred and anger began to be generated around Akihiro.. -Akihiro: So he did not try to make amends for his sin but wanted to go too far and kill me too. Furious features appear which freaks Emmy out and made Sato feels confused by those looks, but before that aura begins to grow, and Akihiro could do anything, the strengthened period has expired, and he felt a pain in his body makes him fall on his knees.. -Sato: ( It''s time.) Sato''s body appeared rushing toward Akihiro with his sword.. -Sato: It''s time to join your family, kiddo.. But before approaching Akihiro, Akio appears to receive the stab in his stomach instead of Akihiro amid a severe shock from Emmy and Akihiro, and Akio begins spitting blood. - Akio in pain: You idiot, you were bearing beyond your strength without me knowing, I was wondering how you increased your strength, I thought it was just that you become adjusted to your ability.. Sato looks with a malicious smile to Akio.. -Akio: We are not a match for him ,Akihiro. Go away with Emmy and Mr. Hisashi and ask for support, I will try to delay him. Please, stay alive. When Akihiro heard that last word, someone else appears in Akio''s place, in Akihiro''s eyes, and he knew what the fighting was reminding him of, he had had these scenes and this situation with his family, Hisashi''s fight and Akio''s sacrifice were a return to some of his family''s scenes as they tried to protect him, and his eyes began to fall tears and his features shocked and do not change and Emmy shocked for what she sees before her. Sato grabs Akio''s head and smiles an evil smile.. -Sato: Well, o glorified sacrificial, I have the honor to devour your time and join your glorified brothers in the other life. When Sato said this, Akihiro began to wake up from his shock.. -Akihiro: ( What? Will devour his time and die? Will I be alone again? No. I will not allow this, I will not let Akio die.) Before Sato begins to absorb Akio''s time, powerful black energy explodes around Akihiro, it was like a volcano erupting from the ground surrounding Akihiro, suddenly Akihiro comes out and a black burning shadow comes out of his eyes like a black fire, and those shadows come out of some parts of his body, and the features of furious and hatred on his face, and very quickly he became in front of Sato''s face clenching his hand.. -Akihiro: I will not allow to lose anyone else by that villain. He hits Sato''s face hard enough to fly destroying three houses behind each other.. To be continued...
