Chapter 5
"So this is how Sapporo looks like!" the male person said, with astonishment in his voice, "Always wanted to see other Japanese cities."
"I, co o tym myślisz1?" the man in a black costume spitted and said again, "What do you think about it?"
"Well it would be better to tell during the daytime walk." the person said, "I like to watch city's architecture, people of different cities and especially what they're doing."
"Really?" the man in a black costume was impressed, "You like it?"
"Yeah, it's my hobby." the person said to his interlocutor, "You can learn different things if you try to compare the life in a capital with areal towns."
"Yes, doskonale o tym wiem2." the man made a pause and the said again, "I'm well aware of it, in capitals people always in constant and in small towns people live more peacefully."
"You, know." the man chuckled, "You must do something with your Polish words, sometimes it prescinds from the battle."
"I know this, but they come out of me accidentally." the man pronounced the sentence try not to make even a single reservation.
"Maybe it's some sort of psychiatric deviation?" the person asked the man, who was making reservations in Polish.
"A few more remarks like that and you will qualify for punch on the nose." the worried his companion, but then added, "I know a lot of things about psychiatric deviations, so don't sprowokować3…" he spitted, "Don't provoke me!"
"No need to worry, I just wanted to say that they're funny."
The man who made reservations was wearing a black jacket, with black trousers he had white shirt under his jacket. He had brownish hair and his eyes had different colours, one was yellow and another one was green. In his arm he had a stick.
"By the way, Przemislav, is it a good idea to fight in this outfit?" the man who had a mask on his face asked his, Polish comrade.
"Don't worry, I've already…" he wanted to say something but stopped, then continued, "Fought them, so there's no need to worry."
"Were they strong?" the man with the mask asked him again.
"If to compare their physical power with mine." he put a finger on his chin and continued, "Wtedy powiedziałbym4, they're stronger than me. But if I use my power, as I understood, they will be easier to fight them."
"Did you use your mental abilities on them?" the masked man was a bit surprised.
"Yes, if I wouldn't do it, then I wouldn't retreat from them so easily." Wojciechowski admitted.
"Oh, I wanted to answer, what persons we are hunting? I was said, that you'll tell everything."
"Well." the Polish psychiatric stretched, "The organization, which is loyal to our, was assaulted, they think that it could be these Japanese hunters, so our mission is to find some of them and capture them alive, of course."
"Is there anything I should know." the interlocutor of the Polish asked turning his head to him.
"Well, they also suppose that commander of the operation in Sapporo is one of the famous hunters." he said and pondered, "What was his imię5."
"Maybe you know the first letter?" the person in the mask asked his companion.
"Ya… Yat…" the Polish tried to remember, but still couldn't do it.
"Maybe Yatsu?" the person in mask asked again.
"Tak6!" he exclaimed. "Yatsu Kuro, if I remember it right."
"Man." The person in the mask moaned, "Do you really think that we will be able to defeat such a strong enemy?"
"Is he really so strong?" Wojciechowski asked his comrade in the mask.
"I wonder, why they put you with me to find those hunters?" the man asked himself, "Yes he is very strong, and even both of us won't be able to defeat him, there only one hunter who is stronger than he is, and it's Igawa Asagi."
"They're leader, if I remember it right." the psychiatric admitted.
"Yes so I don't know why they sent us to find him." the man in the mask pondered, but quickly was taken out of his thought by the voice behind him.
"That's why Yatsu Kuro will be after us." Wojciechowski and his companion turned their heads and saw a man in a cloak with a hood, and a man in steel armor. It was possible to see that the man in the armor had a long halberd on his back. "Your targets will be his subordinates."
"You know how to appear Mystic." the man in the mask said turning his head to him. The man in the mask was wearing a tight uniform which hunters used to wear. He had an orange tank top, which closed his chest and frond side of his neck, however his stomach was opened. He also had shorts that were reached his knees. On his shins he had some sort of metal boots, with metal plates, and on his arms he had metal gloves with the same plates which were covering his arms till the elbows. Also, it was possible to see that he had, blue hair, what really was standing out against his orange suit and the same orange mask with white striped on eyes. It also was possible to see that the person was muscular; it also was noticeable by his stomach where press was.
"Indeed, it's my calling card after all." the man in the hood chuckled.
"Dobrze7 Mystic…" the Polish psychiatric made a reservation and said again, "Well who our targets are?" he said also glancing at the new member.
"Well Miyata, tell them the details." Mystic turned to the man with the halberd.
"Are you sure that they're good for this job?" the man in the armor had doubts in companions of the mysterious person. "Won't they be captured or killed during the mission?"
"Don't worry, "Mistress" won't be disappointed." the man protected his comrades. "Both of them know their trade."
"Well." Wojciechowski decided to interrupt their talk. "I think we need the clues to find these…" he stopped for a while and then continued, "Subordinates."
"Yes." the man in the armor said, and then turned to Polish speaking, "There two hunters we would like to get, as I understood they're working in one team, so it will be much easier to you to find them." the man with the halberd admitted, "There a boy and a girl. The boy is tall; he has short black hair, and light blue eyes. He has dark blue outfit and uses katana as his weapon." he stopped for a second, but immediately was returned from his thought by a person with the mask.
"And the girl?"
"The girl has short straw hair, and eyes are light green. Her outfit is white in battle uses metal tonfas so be careful fighting her."
"Well and what are terms to find them?" the man in orange hunter's uninform asked the man in the armor.
"We would like to get them as soon as possible." he insisted.
"Well, then I think it's a time to go dla nas8. I mean for us." and both, the Polish psychiatric and the man in the mask jumped off the roof they were standing.
"Do you really think that they will be succeeded?" Miyata asked Mystic again.
"I ensure you, they will do everything what they must do. I think we should start to look our targets too, the night has just started, so we have plenty of time to do it." and they left the roof at another direction.
"Hey, Mori! How do you think will we be able to find something today?" the girl with straw hair asked her tall companion standing on a visor of the tall building.
"Please Igarasi-senpai, don't call me like that!" the boy didn't like the way his teammate called him.
"But it's short and saves much time and also well during combats." she referred not understanding what the boy didn't like in his nickname.
"Well, I just think it's weird." the boy said to her, and quickly decided to change the theme of their talk, "I don't know, but we must continue our patrolling. And perhaps we will find something."
"How do you think who were those who we met then?" she asked him interesting.
"Do you mean the persons we saw in that building?" the boy didn't understand the girl's question.
She nodded and continued, "Did they really kill everyone who was in the building, even the captivities?"
"I don't know, but still they're real professionals." the boy pondered too, "They left no clues after them, even the computers were destroyed."
"How do you think were they looking for something?" the girl asked him again. "And if they really were looking for something, then what it could be?"
"As much we think about it, more questions appear." the boy said still deliberated about the theme of their conversation, "I think we should concentrate on our mission, and someday we will find the answers on these questions."
"I think you're right." she said stretching her spine with risen arms. "By the way I wanted to ask you about something."
"What is it senpai?"
"Are you dating with Ogawa Mai?"
"What?" the boy was surprised and didn't know what to answer. "Why are you asking me such a question?"
"I just wanted to ask you about it. So it is true isn't it?" she poked with her finger at his side.
"Of course no!" the boy protested, "Why did you think about this?"
"I saw that you were trying to attract her attention." she continued her interrogation over the tall boy.
"There were nothing of that what you imagined, I just helped her nothing more!" the boy continued to shout.
"Really?" she asked him narrowing her eyes, "Just a help? Nothing more?" the boy nodded nervously, "You're not interesting Mori-kun, I thought that you're the one who was supposed to melt the ice heart of our snow queen."
"She is not a snow queen." the boy protected Ogawa, "She just don't like to show her emotions, nothing special."
"Wait a minute." Igarasi said to her companion, "Yes commander?" she put her hand onto her ear. After a brief period of her conversation with their commander she turned to the boy and said him, "We must go, there's another place we must check."
"Understood, I'm after you." the boy said and followed the girl who quickly jumped onto the roof of another building.
"The second hour of searching and still nothing." the person in the mask and orange suit said disappointed. "I think we must go there." he pointed to his right.
"You think that they will be there?" the Polish in the costume asked with interest.
"I don't know, but it would be a good idea to check that direction, as we haven't been there yet."
The man put his finger on his chin and pondered. "I think it's useless to investigate the city for the little chance to find those kids."
"What do you suggest?" the person with the mask didn't understand his teammate. "Do you want to stop the mission and act the maggot?"
"Nie powiedziałem tego9." Wojciechowski stopped for a second and then continued, "I'm not telling that we must stop it, I just want to say that we must change the podejście10… the approach." he corrected himself.
"And what do you have in your mind?" the man was intrigued.
The man turned to him and his face became serious, "Well I can use my abilities in order to try to find those kids."
"What do you mean?" the man in the mask still couldn't realize what the psychiatric wanted to say, "Can you use your mental abilities on such big range?"
"I can, but then the fight will be after you, as I'll be very zmęczony11. I mean tired." the man corrected himself again. "And everything I'll be able to do is just mere small protection, nothing more."
"Well, as I understand it's the only way for us to find the quickly." the Polish nodded at the statement of his teammate. "Then do it, I think I'll be able to take down some kids." then he immediately added, "But firstly I think it would be better if you will give me an improvement."
"Ha, naprawdę12?" the man was surprised a bit, "Weren't you telling me that you'll be able to handle with them?"
"Well it's not bad to meet them well prepared after all."
"Give me your hand." the Polish said. The man in the mask gave him his hand, but before this he took off his glove. They fastened them and then Wojciechowski closed his eyes. After four or so minutes he opened his eyes and released the hand of his partner. "Now you'll be able to fight better."
"What did you do?" the man asked his with curiosity, "You've never did it for so long."
"I have stępiony13…" the man made a pause but then added, "I blunted the sense of pain, so if you're hurt you'll feel nothing, and also increased your stamina, and also put some little bonuses to it."
"In other words you made a perfect hunter machine out of me didn't you?"
The Polish smirked at the statement of the teammate with the mask. "Now please, don't interrupt me." the man said sitting in the lotus position, but first he put his stick on the surface of the roof near with him. The man closed his eyes and exhaled. He was sitting in such position for almost half of an hour. The man in the mask was thinking what was in the mind of his teammate, he knew Wojciechowski for some time, but the Polish psychiatric always found a way to impress him. Even now he impressed him, will he be able to find their targets in such big city. It was a really interesting though, but at the same time the man in the mask thought that it was useless and stupid, he decided to wait a bit more, but when his patient started to end, Wojciechowski opened his eyes and fall onto the surface of the roof, gasping. The man quickly ran to the teammate and asked him.
"Is everything alright?" the man in the mask was worried and frightened; he didn't know was Wojciechowski alright or not.
"No need to worry." the Polish said restoring his breath. "I just over did it." then he added, "Myślę14… I guess I know where they are."
"Did you really find them?" Wojciechowski's teammate couldn't believe that his comrade could find two needed persons in the big city.
"Yes, they're in twenty minutes to the North." he merely responded, still breathing heavily, "I think I won't be able to assist you for a while, so give me your hand." the man in orange uniform took off his glove again and gave his arm. The Polish closed his eyes and after a minute, he opened them, "Now I'll be able to find you. If you defeat them alone, tell the Mystic yourself about your success."
"Are you sure?" the man still was worried for his friend, "Will you really be alright?"
"I said don't worry and go." he tried to calm his teammate down. The man in the mask nodded and rushed to the ridge of the building and quickly jumped onto another.
"Why did commander Yatsu sent us here?" Igarasi asked herself a bit annoyed, "There's absolutely nothing here."
"Maybe he made a mistake in coordinates?" Mori asked his teammate.
"I don't know, but it makes me annoyed!" the woman raised her voice. "And commander is not from those who makes mistakes, if he said something, then it's not a kidding." the girl answered the question of her teammate, "Well I think it would be better to separate to investigate bigger square." she suggested.
"I don't think that it's a good idea." the boy wasn't glad to hear such idea.
"Why? This way we will be able to try to explore bigger space and we'll definitely find something or someone."
"Still I don't like the idea." the boy continued to reject girl's plan. "What will be if you or I will be outnumbered?"
"Man, you're so cautions, sometimes even too much." the girl said to her partner, "Didn't I tell you that if we weren't ones of the best hunters among the students commander didn't took us."
"Nevertheless." Mori replied to Igarasi. "I won't agree with such idea."
"Then you're a smart one." Both of hunters heard a male voice behind their backs.
"What the…" both of them said preparing their weapons, Igarasi her tonfas, and Mori his katana. "Who the hell are you?" the girl with straw hair asked the man, who was in front of them in the mask and orange suit.
"Me?" the person didn't understand. "Haven't you heard about "The Third Law"? I think you were warned about us." the man said, with some, astonishment in his voice.
'So, they finally appeared.' Igarasi thought standing in battle position, also pondering how to attack their new opponent.
"So you're the ones of the strongest hunters, huh?" the man in the mask asked them with a chuckle.
"Do you want to try yourself against two hunters at once?" Igarasi asked him.
"Senpai." Mori came closer to her and bowed to hear ear, "What should we do?"
"Let's try to fight him." she whispered him, "If something goes wrong you'll use your technique, or will call commander Yatsu.
However she couldn't finish her thought as they were attacked, the man in the mask dash to the young hunters and jumped in the air and when he was about to land he hit the place where they were standing with his leg. Two hunters dodged the attack jumping away in different sides. The boy with katana landing onto the surface of the building, quickly rushed to the man and with a strong swing attacked him, but the man blocked his katana with his gloves. But then the girl suddenly appeared behind their enemy she was about to strike him with her weapon. However the man could dodge it too, he pulled the boy away, and made a summersault and appeared behind the girl. He tried to strike at her side with his leg, but couldn't as she blocked the strike with her tonfa.
"Not bad I must admit." the man said praising his opponents, "But let's see what you'll do against this." He jumped away again, and then decided to attack the boy with series of blows. It was pretty difficult to Mori to parry all this fast attacks with his weapon.
'Damn he is fast!' Mori thought, however Igarasi was on her way to help her teammate.
"You have good skills." the man in the mask said, "No doubt you'll be good hunters in the future." he cought his breath, but couldn't do this properly as he was immediately attacked again, by the girl. This time he noticed that after her strike, left several scratched on the roof of the building. 'It seems that they decided to use their abilities.' The man in the mask thought landing onto the surface, 'Well I can do the same then.' he thought with a smile. When Mori tried to do a slash attack, the man in the mask rose his right leg and forks of flame appeared on his leg he abruptly lowed his leg, in order to his the hunter with katana, but th ma couldn't get him as Igarasi pushed her partner, saving him from the strike.
'So he is using flame abilities?' Igarasi thought, "Mori…" she came closer to her partner and whispered in his ear, "I'll take his attention, and you will try your technic to get him down. The boy nodded and the girl rushed at the man again. This time the man decided to act form short distance. He moved with his arm and said a flame at his opponent, but the girl dodged it and then quickly gave him a running board. The man started to fall down, but quickly took purchase on his arms and with a summersault landed on his legs. When he was about to do another lunge the boy with katana suddenly appeared behind him, the katana was blocked successfully with his gloves, but Mori didn't become confused and used his leg to kick the man right into his stomach. However, Mori's result wasn't that, that he awaited, the boy saw that the man felt nothing.
'Well it could be really painfully, if Wojciechowski didn't use his technic on me.' the man thought.
'What the…' the boy thought, but couldn't do even a thing how the man stroke him at his stomach too. The poor boy couldn't dodge or parry it and flew off dropping his weapon.
'Now the girl.' He thought and directed straight to the girl.
"Commander, we need a…" she said in her communicator, but still couldn't finish her sentence as the men stroke her at her hand, where she had the communicator.
"Well, it seems that I should finish with you faster, I don't think that it will be a good idea to fight you with your commander." the man chuckled.
"Don't underestimate us, we can deal with you even without him." the boy said with wheeze getting up.
"Yes, you're not so strong, after all." the girl admitted.
"Why did you think so?" the man was wondered by her suggestion.
"The only thing you could do to us is just several scratches and nothing more." the girl smirked.
"Maybe I'm just playing with you." the man said with some interest in his voice.
"I don't think so." the boy said to him, "It seems that you're fighting with everything you've got." The boy with katana concluded.
"Well if you want to see all my potential…" the man didn't finish his speech, as he quickly get to the boy, and tried to hit him at his chest, the boy closed it with his katana, but the man's hand has pushed his weapon and immediately reached its aim. However Igarasi wasn't keeping privacy and was ready to strike the man in the mask at his back with all her power, with a try to break it, but when she was near with him an obstacle appeared between them it was a man in the black costume with brownish hair that blocked Igarasi's lunge with his stick. "You're just in time." the man said to the newcomer, "Have you rest?"
"Tak… I mean yes." the man answered his question. "I see that you have some problems here?"
"No, I just waited for you, because we need to capture them not to kill."
"I see, so you wanted just foist all the praca14… I mean work on me."
"Kinda." the man chuckled at the statement of Wojciechowski and rushed to the boy.
Now the fight was fair two against two. While the man in mask decided to deal with Mori, Wojciechowski decided to take Igarasi. Their fight was intense none of sides wanted to lose.
"We must finish here fast!" the man in the mask exclaimed to the Polish. "They sent for a help!"
"Co15?!" the psychiatric exclaimed, "And you're telling me this right now?!" Wojciechowski asked him with an indescribable surprise.
"Sorry, my fault." the man referred, protecting himself from the boy's katana.
'Well, it seems there's no other choice for me.' the man in the costume thought. He quickly rushed to the girl, she decided to hit the man with her tonfa, right at his stomach, but the man quickly parried it with his stick and grabbed her hand, he closed his eyes and after several seconds the girl who was fighting him started to lose her powers. She quickly grabbed her hand out of his grip and leaned on her knee.
'Dammit, did he absorbed, my powers?' the girl thought trying to get up. She could do it, but still she had a sense that all her body was really heavy.
"Pod wrażeniem16?" the Polish asked her coming closer to her. "It's my special technic."
"What have you done to me?!" the girl shouted at the man.
"I just instilled the thought to your subconscious that you're horribly tired." he merely responded, "But I haven't finished my work as you pulled your hand out of my grip."
'So they're really from that organization, after all.' the girl thought and then shouted, "Mori! The man in the costume is that Polish psychiatric, the commander told us!"
"What?!" the by turned to his comrade, but quickly was stroke at his stomach and the in his head, that forced the boy to fall down onto the ground.
"Mori!" she exclaimed and tried to help to her partner, but couldn't as her legs were rejected to move.
"Well, I think we should finish here and bring them to the Mystic." the man in the mask said to the Polish.
"I think so two." And came to the boy first he put his hand onto the boy's head, who was trying to get up, and take his weapon, the Polish doctor closed his eyes and after two minutes the boy stopped to move.
"What did you do to him?!" the girl exclaimed.
"Nothing. He is just sleeping." the man in the mask answered to the girl chuckling.
When Wojciechowski put his hand onto the head of the girl and started to work over her mind, he was suddenly kicked, by someone. The Polish flew for a good distance.
"What the hell!" the man in the mask didn't understand what was happening, how he saw a bald, man in the hunters' uniform who gave him a strong strike too. However, instead of his comrade he was able to block his unexpected attack.
"Commander!' Igarasi exclaimed rejoiced. "You're just in time!"
"What's with Moritani?" the bald man in grey sunglasses and in the anti-demon hunter's uniform asked.
"He is unconscious." she replied him.
"Can you fight?" he asked her again.
"I don't think so." she said trying to get up. "The enemies we're fighting are from "The Third Law", and there also a man you told us about.
"Who?"
"The Polish psychiatric with mental abilities." she explained him.
'So they have showed themselves after all.' the commander thought. He was wearing a metal armor which covered his trunk; on his lower part of his body he had grey trousers, and the same colour metal boots. On his belt was blade which was lying in the sheath. The man was muscular. The man turned to the man who blocked his attack, taking his short blade out of the sheath.
"What an honour." the man in the mask said, "It's a great honor to meet a veteran hunter, especially if it's Yatsu Kuro, the blind hunter." he chuckled.
The man said nothing, and attacked the masked person immediately. The person in the mask decided to jump away from Kuro and used his flame against the blind hunter. He took purchase on the surface of the roof and dodged the flame, and then he continued his way to him, he lunged him with his blade, but the man reaction allowed him to block it, but Kuro than did another strike, at his chest, that made him fall. When he was about to finish him, the man with the stick, which was opened now, and there was a rapier instead of the stick.
'I don't think that we will be able to deal with him.' Wojciechowski thought, 'The better plan is to retreat. And this girl will be able to move soon too.'
While he was thinking he didn't notice how his companion was about to strike the blind hunter with his leg, which was in flame. However he perfectly dodged his attack.
"Didn't Mystic with that man wanted to deal with him?" the man asked his partner, with a chuckle.
"Ja… I don't know…" he pondered for a second, "It seems that we are the ones who will do all job." He concluded and attacked Kuro.
Kuro blocked the attack of the Polish, as he suddenly heard. "Commander don't let him touch you, or he will weak you!" he heard Igarasi's voice.
'Almost forget it.' And the he pushed the psychiatric.
'Damn girl!' the man in the costume cursed her. 'She must be taken out of th battle.' suddenly he saw, how the girl with straw hair, got up and was on her way to strike the man.
However a strong, puff of wind stopped the girl on a half of her way.
"It seems that you're hanging out without us, huh?"
