Chapter 1 [ Suicidal Mission ]
Takeru
"Watch out!"
Takeru barely managed to avoid the hail of bullets as Oka shoved him aside. "Thanks!" he shouted as the bullets hit the metal shielding
him from death. "Just distract them while I knock them out! That was your one job!" Takeru flinched as she yelled, again, at how he
can't even 'do his one job'. "Alright, alright!" He took off, sliced a few bullets and dove behind another locker. "Heh. Your flimsy sword
won't protect you!" He twitched at the taunt from the goons as he heard Oka kick someone.
When the noise died down, he peeked over the locker, and saw Oka standing over the groaning bodies.
"Cuff them up." At this he proceeded to get his handcuffs out when his transmitter switched in.
"Takeru. Hurry up with the inquisition, the headmaster wants to see us." "We just finished Ikaruga." Takeru responded with a bit of
pride that they finished earlier than they expected. "Great. I already called Usagi. See you there."
When they returned at the Academy, Usagi was already waiting outside.
"Takeru!" She lunged at him, also knocking him down. "Usagi..." he began. "Oh! We have to see Ikaruga!" She blushed as she got off.
But Ikaruga was already waiting for them at the doors, holding a clipboard.
"Don't jump him without me, Usagi-chan." she whacked Usagi with the clipboard as she said it. "Let's just get to the point. So, what is it
now?" Oka asked. "Well, we have to rescue some hostage from devils." Ikaruga said flatly. "D-devils?!" Takeru had blurted it out
without thinking. "Apparently, yes. Devils." her tone was still flat. Like she already knew there were devils. Takeru wondered if
nothing could faze her. "I thought we only did witches at our level!" "This is an exception. We also have to hurry. The hostage is
currently fighting back with his own magic." "Wait, the hostage uses magic?! Then shouldn't we also confiscate his magic items?!"
Takeru was about to ask more questions, but the rest of the platoon just nodded. After a few more discussions, they set out
toward the site where the 'hostage' is, with Takeru still confused.
