The Club Recruitment week has been going on since Monday. Of course, we have to do a long week of patrol around the school to assure that no brawl or fight has broken out.

Despite that…..not only this is perhaps my eighth patrol, but this is also my third day in watching over Misaka, who is with me at the moment.

Apparently, someone from the gymnasium incident yesterday reported to the Disciplinary Committee of her actions. While I was walking around the school, which was before Misaka and I left, Mari told me that due to the incident, I have to watch over her for two weeks or a month.

Though not only that Mari supported the decision, but so did Kanon, Kiri or known as Misaka's older brother, the Student Council, and the Club Management Group. The crazy and scary part is that should Misaka cause anything very violent, unacceptable, and brutal, not only she will be removed as Chief of the Disciplinary Committee and a five day suspension, but I will also be severely punished from the Committee and suspended from office for two days before I can go back to work again.

I'm not surprised that I would be punished since I'm a watchdog for her and Mari would show mercy to her. After all, I heard that Kanon and Misaka met Mari a few years back, probably before they joined middle school.

"Are you doing your job?" My mind was interrupted when she asked me. I looked down to her and she was staring at me as we were walking.

"We're just patrolling to make sure nothing happens, you expect another incident to show up from the phone?" I responded with a sigh. "Besides, we only had two incidents that occurred over the past week, which I would say would be a job well done. If we had more than 5 incidents, we would be getting words and complaints all over our faces for not doing anything about it."

"I'm just making sure because your eyes were peering on the sun," She gave out a tease as she turned her head back as we continued walking. "Were you trying to intentionally blind your eyes by staring at the sun so you could leave the Committee?"

"I don't know, maybe I should play loud music with my headphones so I could be deaf and leave the Committee," I teased her back, referencing her headphones and her MP3, which is doing right now. She turned her head to me and gave out a stare. "Just messing with you….."

She rolled her eyes and turned her head back. We continued walking until our Committee phones, which we use to call for assistance or an incident going on, started beeping. We pulled them out and inserted them to our ears.

"This is the Student Council. A brawl has broken out in Gymnasium No. 1," That voice….it was the President Mayumi of the Student Council. "All available Disciplinary Committee officers are asked to head to the scene."

"This is Sawaki, second year. On our way," I responded. "You're not doing this on your own this time. Remember the Committee has their eyes on us."

Misaka remained silent and rolled her eyes before we put our phones back and started running, causing a scene as we walk past several students. The both of us stepped inside a small forest area used for magical training or races. We walk past branches, trees, and bushes and luckily, our clothes weren't getting ripped nor scratched.

After running through the forest we saw Gymnasium No. 1 and there were a lot of people in the area. We scanned to see if there were any officers and there weren't any in sight, so I guess we're the first in the scene.

"Disciplinary Committee, please move!" I called everyone out as we both got up the stairs and entered the door to see four people trading fists and kicks against one another. As we looked around, we saw President Mayumi shooting at them, but she missed. "President Mayumi!"

She turned her head towards us and she nodded. I charged at the brawlers, tackling one to the ground. I turned my head to Misaka and she was just walking, but at the same time, shooting Psion Bullets at them, one of which struck another brawler to the chest, knocking him out.

"Hey…..stop what you're doing or get shot," She coldly glared at them with her own magic powers aiming at them. The two brawlers stopped fighting and raised their hands up and kneeled to the ground. Misaka approached them and pulled out a pair of handcuffs, putting one in custody while Mayumi approached and arrested the other that surrendered.

"Thanks for assisting me today," Mayumi smiled at us before turning to Misaka. "And Misaka, I'm happy that you didn't use your violent actions. I'm glad Sawaki was with you and I was here before you guys. Had you been first or without him, you would've done it again."

Misaka gave a cold death glare at the Student Council President before shaking her head and stepping outside. Although she's very cold, emotionless, and the "i-will-do-it-by-myself" kind of person, I can tell that she's not happy with Mari. I sighed as I got up and pulled out my handcuffs to arrest the student I tackled.

"Is something wrong with her?" Mayumi turned her head to me with a worried and concerned expression.

"She's upset that Mari has put me on watch….I can tell," I responded as I checked the pulse on the student that Misaka knocked out. Although he's alive, he's still knocked out cold by the Psion Bullet. I stood up and turned my head to the concerned President. "Even I am against Mari's decision to have me as her watchdog…..I guess have to rock her boat then, huh?"

Mayumi gave out a smile, but I shook my head in a disappointing response before walking out, leaving her with the four in custody. As I walked past the people, several officers, including Mari, were already in the scene. I looked down to see Misaka loitering outside with her headphones playing.

"This is not going to end well….." I said to myself and sighed as approached the Mari. "Chairwoman, the brawl is over and four students are in custody. May we continue our patrol?"

"Absolutely, but if you wish to stay, it's up to you. However, you must not keep Misaka out of your sight," I sighed to her response as we turned to Misaka, who was staring at the forest with her headphones playing while giving out an emotionless stare. "I'm sorry I have to put you into this, alright? I should've picked Kanon or her brother to do the job, but that's against the rules. I thought….maybe only you were her only hope that she wouldn't commit such atrocities."

I turned my head to her.

"Be lucky she didn't commit anything violent earlier," I responded. "I'm sure she would've not done anything violent if she was put under watch. You did suspend her once and look at her. Her violent actions caused this and now she doesn't wanna lose her role in the office and receive another suspension."

"Sawaki," Mari turned her head to the Chief with a frown. "Again, I'm very sorry…..I understand your opposition against this idea, but I have no other choice. Even with others, she might still cause consequential controversy around the Student Government."

"So you're just gonna let me have two choices?" She turned her head back to me.

"What do you mean?"

"The first choice is that I continue to watch over Misaka for 2 weeks or a month to prevent her from causing chaos while the second is I end my watchdog here and the both of us get suspended," I turned my head back to her with a glare. "Is this what the Disciplinary Committee is supposed to be?"

Mari remained silent at that response of mine before looking at me with a concerned look.

"If you want to end your watchdog operation, that's fine by me, I'll have Kanon or Kiri to do it," She took a few steps to the scene. "Remember that I am doing this for the sake of Misaka. I've heard what happened to her before, but she might as well tell you when she's ready. I'm not going to suspend the both of you if you or Misaka resign, but I will if anything goes bad. You can decide how long as you like, I can wait."

I nodded before Mari gave a weak smile before returning to work, approaching the scene.

Something must be wrong within Misaka that she keeps to herself…..I'll have to find it out….

The recent incident had pass for two hours. Two hours ago, a brawl between four students broke out in Gymnasium No.1, resulting in all four in custody. Among the students were two third years and two second years, who will all be put in investigation.

As for Misaka, she didn't give one single care or affect to her as it was her 'daily basis of keeping the school peaceful'. Well….almost too peaceful.

"Chief Misaka," Misaka turned her head to the entrance as the source of the voice was there. It was Sawaki. "I have….a report, but no incident has been reported besides the gymnasium."

She continued to stare at him with a cold look on her face and took a bite on her fish and beef. She munched on it and swallowed.

"So what's the report?" She asked.

"Well…." He cleared his throat and coughed a bit. "Yesterday afternoon when I was patrolling, I heard a conversation coming from Class 2-F….from what I have heard, a couple of students were talking about the school government officials and the school government itself."

Misaka gave her eyes an unhappy expression. She kept her emotions in check as her aura begins to run colder. Although her aura is commonly cold, having it go very thin ice will make it worse.

"What seems to be the problem?" She spoke up as Sawaki sat down. "If it's about the school government, it's gotta be important."

"During my eavesdrop, I heard that non-magic clubs might be uniting and form an organization sometime this year," He said with confidence and placed his lunch above his handkerchief. "Also, someone told me that Mibu Sayaka from Class 2-E had a conversation with Shiba."

"Shiba and Sayaka? Hmph, they sound like a good persona couple to be with," She yawned in response. "Whatever, I'll let Shiba talk to the Student Council and Mari about it. They must be talking right now."

"So you're not gonna warn them?" Misaka nodded, making Sawaki glare at her. "Why not? I'm serious here and this is a big deal. We're talking about a group of students that are gonna present something political to the whole school and you're just gonna sit here and let Mari know about it?"

"If you don't know, Shiba and Mari had an eye-to-eye conversation on the third day of school during lunch time in the Student Council office," She reached her food with her chopsticks and took a bite of a huge chunk of her fish. "Since they formed a friendship, I'm quite optimistic that they're having a talk about it right now."

Sawaki sighed at the response and removed his glare to a more concerned look.

"I hope I don't offend you, but I heard they were talking about the school government officials, too, but when I was there, there were mostly talking about you," Misaka swallowed her fish and stared at him with a quiet and emotionless expression. "According to them, they say that…..you're very…..unethical and venal."

"I see…." She immediately responded, but shrugged her shoulders. "I may be seen as a very dangerous official, but that's how it works in life. When you start working, you will encounter people like that. Higher-ups, the employees, CEOs, the government, everything. People will use that for personal gains while others use it for the money. I'm just doing it because I think of it…..as a weapon."

"Not everything has got to be a weapon….." He sighed. "Are you really sure you're not gonna tell them?"

"Yeah, what's the worst thing that could happen?"

P.O.V – Flashback
Unknown time, presumably 4:23pm

"Oh? What do we got here? Two little girls walking all alone? Ha! What kind of parents thought you girls to walk home alone?" A female voice called out and smirked at two young girls, probably at the ages of 8. The female stared at the young black haired girl with her baby blue eyes, who showed no emotion against her before turning to the girl in purple hair, who is a bit taller than the other and had a scared expression. "Looks like we got a good pair here! Come on! Let's get rich!"

In just a second, the female got her hands on the girl with purple hair. Before the black haired girl could make an action, she felt her mouth be covered and herself getting lifted up. She looked back to see a tall man smirking at her.

"You pretty girls make money!" He said as a white van arrived. "Let's take them in!"

"No! Misaka! Help me!" The purple haired girl muffled with tears streaming down her eyes while the other girl, Misaka, struggled and gritted her teeth. The girl bit the fingers of her attacker and fell down on the ground.

"Ah! Stupid girl!" The female shouted before kicking the girl in the face.

Misaka stared at her friend in an emotionless expression, but shock within herself. She gritted her teeth once more and bit the neck of the man, ripping out his jugular. Blood came out of the man's neck like a fountain and stained Misaka's face and clothing with his blood. The man collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain and holding his neck as blood continue to stream down, slowly making a puddle of blood on the sidewalk.

"You little brat!" The female approached Misaka and reached her arms out. She dodged and dug into one of the pockets of the man, who is slowly dying. She pulled out a silenced handgun and pulled the trigger on the female to the head, quick and clean. The bullet went past the attacker before she collapsed to the ground dead with blood now staining the sidewalk.

"Holy shit!" The man in the van said in a panic and went into reverse mode before it began driving towards the girls. Misaka pulled the trigger many times, striking the windshield and she and her friend barely dodged as the van runs over the bodies and makes a turn to the left before crashing to a parked car. The black haired girl approached the man, who has now died, and dug into the pockets, looting at least three magazines and a knife before going to the female, who also had a handgun.

"Huh…hey Kanon….mine is a P226 and yours is a 92FS Beretta," Misaka said to her friend and handed the 92FS to her. Kanon got the gun and looted the girl's body, finding two magazines inside and a meat cleaver.

"A-Are you sure about this? You killed someone and we're doing something bad!" Kanon asked, fear being smelled and heard within Misaka's ears.

"I know…..but we can't talk about that now, the police are coming soon," She replied before the girls put the guns in their bags and took a turn to the left of the street. "Just five turns and we're home. Come on…."

Misaka continued running before turning her head to Kanon, who was staring at her with a sad grin on her face.

"Misaka….." Kanon mumbled as she pulled out the handgun and aimed it on her own head. "I'm sorry, but….I can't do this."

"No!" The black haired girl sprinted towards her, but it was too late. The gun made a loud pop and flash that rocked the entire neighbourhood. Misaka closed her eyes in shock and despair. She opened them….to see the dead body of her best friend who was known as Kanon Chiyoda. "NO! This…this can't be happening!"

Yorozuya Residence
3:23am

"NO!" I made a soft gasp and scream as I got up. I inhaled and exhaled deeply as sweat slowly dripped from my head and stared at my blanked covered body in shock. I turned my head to the right to look at my charging phone. It is 3:23 in the morning…..I've been asleep for 2 hours…..just 2 hours and I get a nightmare at this time.

I scanned around my room…the whole room is the dark and my only source of light is the lamp beside me, which I usually and always keep open whenever I sleep. I looked at my pet cat, Nico, who I named after Nico Yazawa from Love Live, was asleep. I gave her a smile and looked back to my own self.

"D-Da..." I tried to speak out a few words, but my throat felt awfully dry. I got up, opened my weapons crate to pull out my silenced P226 handgun, night vision goggles, and a few magazines before stepping outside my room with the NVG equipped. I turned it on and unlike the others, which has a green infrared vision, mine is FLIR black and white.

I opened the door slowly as it made a soft creak. I looked around the dark hallway with my NVG and head downstairs. As I got down, I approached the freezer, which is where we keep our water pitchers as we…well, some of us, likes a cold drink and a hot or warm meal. I opened the freezer and brought out a pitcher of water and got a glass. I poured water before placing the pitcher back to the freezer and closing it.

I yawned to myself as to how late it is, but how early it is to wake up in such a time like this. Had I not done my homework, I would be doing it up until late at this time.

I took two huge gulps on my glass, making it already half empty. I raised my arm to inspect my handgun, inspecting the details and the design of the weapon. I took three huge gulps again and approached the restroom that's just to my right. I approached the door, opened, and closed it shut before pulling down my black underwear and sitting down on the toilet.

30 seconds of relief later….

After cleaning and flushing the toilet and wiping myself, I stepped outside the door and closed it shut. I yawned once more and felt my energy starting to get drained out again, signalling my time to sleep.

As I was already at the stairs, I heard a noise coming from outside. I turned my head to the source, which is my backyard, and saw nothing. I scratched my head and shrugged it off as my imagination. I continued walking and heard a noise again. This time, it sounded like a tap on my glass door.

I pulled out my handgun and aimed at the backyard to see two black hooded or masked people standing outside my backyard and from what I can see, they are staring at me or the house only. I went back upstairs and closed my door, shutting and locking it. I removed my NVG and threw it, along with my handgun and magazines, to the weapons crate.

I sighed to myself and scratched my head.

"Darn it…." I mumbled to myself. I had a freaking opportunity to shoot, but I couldn't risk the glass door and there might be more than two. I opened my closet, got my Monstercat plushie, and lied down on my bed before going to sleep, slowly fading to black.

Hey guys! I'm back! Damn, I haven't published Chapter 9, which is this chapter, in such a while and here it is!

If you guys wanted to know why I took so long, I've been updating the whole Mahouka: The Markswoman fanfiction, I'm currently making two Fairy Tail fanfics, and I've been through a lot of things here in the real world.

Due to school and ongoing conflicts within my life, I couldn't type much on Mondays to Thursdays, so Friday to Sunday is my free time.

Anyway, I hope you guys have an awesome day and I'll continue this by hopefully in a few weeks.

Bye.
