Well if yall like it, then i will write more, if not oh well...we will see as the story progress... Cheers
Once Father and I left the laboratory; we were greeted by a horde of black helicopter whirling around night sky. One of bigger black helicopter descended, a woman comes out of it. Well, I suppose that was the first time I ever seen a female human before, outside of that glass wall that is. The blonde hair of her reminds me of golden wool, I can't honestly comment on her figures, well, if I were to describe her body, very beautiful? I digress, she gave me a rather curious look and winked at me.
"Professor, it is good to see you again."
"Squall, please, I would rather have a quiet pick up."
"Well, I made it just for you and your son." She giggled a little, and ran up to me, started to touch my face, "beside, aren't you just a little cutie?"
Looking back, I am pretty certain I have no idea what situations nor how would I have handle it effectively, however, at that moment I was completely terrified by Squall's action. Nonetheless, Father was completely cool during the entire conversation.
"As I promised, here is my child with you to train, I am sure your supervisor already told you that I am going to handle with the analysis of Silent Zephyr upgrade and give proper evaluation."
"Of course, but I can't believe that your son is such adorable looking thing," Squall handed over the flies to Father, "he has such beautiful blue eyes, just like Professor Irena…"
Father grabbed her by the arm, stared at her with contempt, and kept his calm command
"My Son, go with her"
I am not sure what to do, as I am still confused by that woman's commentary; yet, I am moving towards the helicopter with Squall. Turning my head back to see him once more, Father stood there under the moon, under the clear cloudless skies; he waved at me and smiles, as Squall and I departed with the helicopters
Do I not ever see him again? Hardly, in fact, I have been taken to the training facility to enhance the overall performance of this body. Father does come from time to time, to examine my physical and mental capacities.
From what I can recall from the first tonight, it has been thirty six months since my arrival. The overall report shows the influx improvement in marksmanship, agility, and reflex. Yet, I still feel like there is a piece of me that never was neglected, I am not sure what it is…
"Stop your inner monologue kid," I feel a painful impact upon my forehead, "If you keep doing that, you are going to replace the voice recorder."
"Oh it is you…" I can recognize that voice, despite what the primary examples of what one can define as "annoying". That is from him, I am not sure what his legalize name is, but from the day I was introduced to him, he wants me to refer him as Coy.
Coy doesn't seem to like whenever I address with that tone.
"Tsk, don't you have respect for elders?" Coy tries to flick the same spot on the head again,
"Does it hurts?"
"Yes it does"
"Why didn't you dodge it?" Coy asks without hesitation.
"It would help me to analyze and summarize the potential damages from your finger to my forehead in the future."
"What exactly are you? I mean are you a robot or something?" Coy is genuinely confused by the previous statement, "Are you sure you are not a robot with some emotions and lack real feelings?"
"I can be affirmative that I have blood within my body system and able to experience pains." I reply without much of concern.
"You are really a weird kid, Shiro," Coy pats the left shoulder, "anyways, Gary Sue, this is your legit solo mission." He hands over a file of documents to me
"Gary Sue?" Now that is the first time I have heard that name before "It is my code name?"
Coy snickers at little first, and then lets out a huge chain of laughter, "Really now, I mean all I see you doing once the training is done, is reading; reading all sorts of books and yet, you don't know what a Gary Sue is? Never mind what I call you, just read over that thing and be ready within twenty four hours. Before I can ask Coy any further questions, he leaves without any trace, once more like every time during training
The mission flies state it is a joint operation with the main force to launch an assault, that my role is to infiltrate IS international Academy based on coastal Japan, and I would be package as an intern from a IS research company to accompany possible IS trainee model deal. Once I enter school ground, looks like the need for scouting vital port region to plan explosive that will ensure as distraction that will allow the main forces to enter ground from other entrances. And the entire operation will be supervised by Squall Meusel…..
…
The air of coastal Japan is very cold, that's as much I can comment on. The sunny blue skies, the flocks of sea gulls, and the utter quietness of the moment do peak my interest beyond from I can see from the windows. Then, the left side of my face feels rather freezing. Squall is putting a can of soft drink on my face, and she smiles at me before I take it off her hand.
"You look rather depressed, do you not feel ready for you role?" She pokes at my face which to my disapproval.
"No, I am rather pleased to take on this mission, even if this is my first time." I push her finger away, "are you certain you want me for this? I may be underqualified for this..."
"That would be a negative, you and I are going into the IS academy, and I simply can't take the other agents with me, it will create questions." Squall puts on her shades and ready to get off the plane, "When you are with me, it will be hard to create problems when you are my assistant for this negotiations, while I keep the top level IS pilots busy, I am sure you can find the decent spot to plan explosive."
"Suit yourself" I reply back without look back at her as the cloudless sky mesmerize my attention, yet in my head I wonder…
I am not absolutely certain if I have made a mistake, but to be honest as the first mission outside of training, I can feel what one can call "burden" or "pressure" in their mental state. As I have read in the books before, these certain states of minds are created when one feel uncertain about the success of objectives. Am I certain that I can able to perform out the task? What if we were to be compromised? My head continues to hurt due to the so-called uncertainty, before I can reach a conclusion of my decision; we already have arrived on the ground of academy.
The academy ground is purely aesthetic or rather, I guess this what one will called pleasant or peaceful. The structure of building probably represents the essence of modern times or the future. There is not much to analyze about the school ground, it is very standard of what it depict from the reports. Nonetheless, I don't have enough interests to explore the academy ground, since I already seen the aerial, ground view of the school. Unlike the school structure, the student bodies give off a certain vibe that is utterly abnormal, from previous information, the entire student population is composed of female with one exception of one human male student. As I proceed to the conference room, I can hear various flocks of student murmur to themselves, as I walk pass them; It seem that they are talking about someone, I rather not think about it. I need to look for vulnerable spot to plan explosive while Squall is in the conference.
…..
Despite what I stated earlier, this school is somewhat unique, I can hear more laughter and energies from what I can hear, smell and touch. It is less professional but more how can I put it in the right context? Humane? Jolly? Once again, I end up at the library entrance again…
Thud!
It seems that I bump into someone, a boy, average build and height, deep blue hair color, yes in fact, right he is the only human male able to pilot the so called Infinite Stratos. Yes, indeed, Ichika Ormuria is presented before me. How should I analyze this…what should I do?
"Ummmmmmmmm, I am sorry, are you alright?" Ormuria's voice interrupts me as he reaches out his hand as sign of assistance
"I am fine," as I get up and dust off my jacket, "Thank you Ichika Ormuria"
"That's not a problem…" The blue hair boy smiles back and reaches out his hand once, I can affirm that he wants to engage in handshake, "wait how come you know my name?"
At that moment, something came across my mind, there is no way I can create the correct excuse to convince him that I have not possess knowledge of him prior, then I see the tag on his check pocket.
"Your name tag." I point out the obvious, Ormuria blushes with embarrassment or that's what I can detail as an embarrassing moment. Unknowing to my own conscience, he is already shaking with my hands.
"What's your name?"
"Shiro Masamune" that's my alias passport as I can recall, since I am not even sure if I had a real name. Shiro is the name Father has been calling me ever since I met him, Masamune is one of the names I came across while reading Japanese history when I was researching the country itself.
"That sounds like a samurai name," I can tell he is trying to hide the laughter, "I am sorry, I just find that name really funny, as if you are trying to make up a name. Anyways what are you here for? It is rare to see another young male here like I am on the academy?"
"I am here on business," I don't like the way he asks the question, "well to be more exact, I am an assistant for a partner company that cooperate with the academy."
"Oh, that's cool to see someone around my age already working for a company." Ormuria gives me a big grin, or smile, I can't tell the proper exact appropriation. "So, you will be here for while right? "
"Four days, in fact."
"Oh that's really cool, from what I heard company conference is a huge event for the academy"
"I see…" I don't think I should response with too much excitement…. "You will be one those in charge of the conference, I assume?"
"W…wait? How can you tell that I am part of committee?"
"Frist, you have a name tag, which means you are either introduce yourself to someone who doesn't know you at all. Second, your hands have several smear marks that can be result from heavy amount of copying materials. Third, during the opening ceremony, there are roses presented at the location" I brush off the rose petals off his shoulder, "finally, you seem to drop all the papers regarding the academy financial reports on the floor when you bumped into me.
"That's cool, how do you come up with all these stuffs?"
I choose not say anything because I feel it is only natural that one should able to carefully to read his or her own environment before anything else. Before I can reach a logical conclusion on his statement, he asks an unseemly question.
"Cool, it is nice to see another guy here on the island, I know, why don't we hang out for a bit?!"
"Hang out?" I don't understand his question, I never heard such term before or rather, during my crash course of Japanese, it was a word that came up, but I disregarded with zero potential in the actual conversation.
"You know, eating together, having fun," Ormuria rubs his head, I can only assure that he assumes I understand his definitions, there is a pause of moment, our eyes meet, yet I made no response to his request…..
"ICHIKA!" a horrifying screech breaches the silence we had, I can feel it is more than just one pair of footsteps coming this way.
"Oh man, ummmm….I…..yeah….gonna run…" Ormuria somehow is losing his cool, "so I am going to wait for you response, you can find me in the main class building, it is Class One, First Year!"
Before I can give a properly reaction, he seems to escape my perception view, what adapt speed, that is my conclusion. Now, somehow appearing before me, a group of five girls of same age is asking where Ormuria has ran off to. I briefly point a vague direction that I think it is right direction, before I can ask any further inquire, four of them have already ran off to that direction. With the sole exception of one, there is an eyepatch to her left eye, she is studying me, I know since I can feel it. For a solid moment, time stops around both of us, we are examining each other, questioning each other's intentions, studying each other's movements.
The phone vibrates within my pocket, it looks like Squall is finished with conference of the day, and the girl runs off without looking back as I am distracted by the vibrations. I walk back to Squall's room, I carefully recheck my inner jacket pocket that the gun is still conceal, take out the picture of Ormuria and crumbles it slowly.
"I can smell the sea from air…"
