"Talk"

'Thought'

"How big is this place? I feel like we've been going in circles."

At the lower levels of the Academy, Zenkichi Hitoyoshi couldn't help but feel extremely lost when he and Medaka Kurokami continue to walk through what seemed like endless maze of hallways and dead ends, which did make the Lovely Abnormal hum and rubs her chin about the situation she was in

"Aimlessly walking around we'll get us nowhere… I guess I have no choice then."

Hitoyoshi couldn't help but look at Medaka with confusion when she said that, though before he could question her on what she meant, she interrupted him by taking a deep

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Medaka lets out a loud scream, so loud in fact that the Guard Dog had to hold and clench his ears tightly in extreme pain

"Oh, so that's where we need to go."

Medaka didn't seemed bothered one but, as she seemed to finally understand where she's at and where she needs to go

"What The Heck Was That?! Were You Trying To Burst My Eardrums?!"

Zenkichi couldn't help but get frustrated after that loud sound he was forced to hear and suffer through

"Hm? Oh, right, you see, I was taking some breathing and lung strengthening exercises with Kikaijima-Chan, and the results of that training gave me the ability to do that."

Medaka quickly explained what she did and how she was able to do that, which made her Collared Friend calm down a bit, but was still somewhat annoyed to have his hearing nearly damaged

"I'm guessing you were doing a bat or whale thing, right? Using sonar to figure out where we are and where to go?"

Zenkichi found it believable for his Childhood Friend to be able to do this, he has seen her do weirder things, if anything he was more upset for her not doing it sooner

"Mhm, and now I have all the information I need about the layout of this location, so let's hurry up and continue to the next floor."

Though before Medaka and Hitoyoshi could continue to move forward, they immediately stopped when they noticed a dark skin older man with cornrow hair and wore a lab coat, who just stood before them and wore a confident expression

"Tres Bien! Since this is the first floor, a lot of guys pass through here, but you're the first to use that method to get through, oh, and yeah, I'm 13 Party's Takachiho Shigusa~"

The mysterious stranger, now known as Takachiho, both congratulate and introduce himself to the two that stood before them

'If he's a Class 13, then that must also mean that he's part of the Flask Plan group, I need to keep my guard up if that's the case.'

Zenkichi already felt suspicious and kept his guard up around the new person, especially since he was probably with that Oudo guy and might be just as dangerous, unfortunately, despite being care and watchful, he was instantly grabbed by the neck by Shigusa

"Oh? Interesting~"

Takachiho seemed to find out something interesting about the person he held in a choke hold, to which he quickly lets go and seemingly disappeared when Kurokami tried to attack him and defend her Childhood Friend

"It's not polite to grab someone by the neck without permission."

Medaka aimed her stern expression at Shigusa, while making sure her allied was ok and not hurt at all

"I was actually trying to take off the device around his neck, but I guess I underestimate the tight grip the collar truly has on him."

Takachiho was definitely fascinated with what he just learned, so much so that he made a quick note in his small book, so that he wouldn't forget

"I-I guess that means you already know what this thing can do?"

Zenkichi took a moment to catch his breath, as he lightly glares at Shigusa, a bit upset and slightly worried that his secret weapon was already exposed and well known with the Flask Plan

"Yup, it might not look like it, but I'm a scientist, and as a scientist, I'm generally curious about things that interest me."

A dark slightly evil smile grew across Takachiho face, which made the Guard Dog tense up slightly

"And if there is something that interests me, I can't help but dissect and slice open that interesting thing and see what makes it tick~..."

In a instant, Takachiho was already behind the two, all the while wearing the glasses from Kurokami, and using the ripped sleeves of Hitoyoshi as a bandana, much to the surprise of the Beautiful Monster and shock of the Collared Friend

"Don't worry, Student Council President Medaka, I haven't forgotten or ignored you, in fact, I was personally ordered by the chairman to welcome you first into Class 13, Flask Plan~"

Takachiho clearly made his first impression with the two, leaving them either curious or completely baffled

"Can he teleport? I can barely see him move, let alone see him get close to us to do what he just did."

Zenkichi already felt overwhelmed, as he was struggling to understand how Shigusa was moving around without them even noticing

"No, he's not teleporting."

Medaka throws aside her lab coat and was suddenly holding a large handful of colorful bouncy balls, to which her Childhood Friend immediately recognized

'Unzen Super Balls!'

After Zenkichi realized what was gonna happen, he took a few steps back and stood behind the Lovely Abnormal, who wasted no time throwing the 'Unzen Super Balls' with full strength and with no accuracy, resulting in the balls to wildly bounce around and ricochet towards the smirking Shigusa

"He's quick."

Once Medaka said this, Shigusa unconsciously started to dodge and move around all the balls that went his way, expertly doing so with perfect precision that none of the balls even graze his skin and was completely left untouched

"Not surprising that you figured out my abnormality, 'Autopilot', though I wasn't really hiding it in the first place."

Takachiho claps and praise the Ultimate Plus for finding out and understanding on what he can really do

"So basically he has super reflexives, how are we supposed to beat that?"

Zenkichi had his hand over the dial on his collar, as he tried to figure out what transformation would help him in this situation

"Just because he's a part of the Flask Plan, doesn't make him our enemy, so we have no reason to start any kind of conflict or violence with him."

While Medaka already view the Reflexive Abnormal as someone who is no doubt formidable, she saw no reason to start anything with him, which made him chuckle to hear such a thing from her

"So you need motivation huh? Alright then, I'll give you one."

Takachiho reached in his pocket and pulled out a small USB Flash Drive, twirling the device in his finger

"What I have here contains all the secret information about the Flask Plan, whether it be important research, unimaginable strategy or something completely abnormal."

Takachiho then throws his lab coat aside and got into a boxing stance, no doubt eager to throwdown with the two

"Is that enough of a reason for you, Medaka Kurokami?~"

All of Takachiho taunting and provoking made Kurokami sigh softly as she then started to roll up her sleeve and push back her hair

"Since you defeated the Six Plus, Zenkichi-Kun, I shall handle Senior Takachiho Shigusa."

After making some small preparation, Medaka mimics the same stance that Shigusa was in, which already let her Childhood Friend know that she was not messing around

"Alright, but I will jump in if you need help."

Was all Zenkichi had to say before he got out of the way and let the two fighters handle this, who didn't waste any time after starting after he was no longer in the way, the Reflexive Abnormal was the first one to make a move, instantly getting in front of Beautiful Monster and landing a hard knee on her head, which made him smirk confidently, though it quickly went away when she started to push against the knee that was on her

'She used a headbutt to block my first attack?'

Takachiho doesn't know whether he should be impressed or find it stupid, though he didn't waste his free time thinking about that as he quickly dodged and jump back from the Lovely Abnormal breaking free from the knee and try to attack him with her head, but she wasted no time following that combo with suddenly splitting up into multiple copies of herself and quickly surrounded the Hard Wrapping

"Are You Part Of Some Kind Of Ninja Clan?!"

Takachiho was momentarily surprised by this sudden performance of multiple Ultimate Plus getting close to him all at once

"Kouga Manji."

Was all the Medaka's had to say, as a specific hand suddenly reached out and nearly touched him, though before she could make any contact, her arm was quickly grabbed by Shigusa, much to her surprise

"I'll admit, you surprised me, but let me make something clear with you."

Takachiho looked down at her with arrogant smile, before he suddenly smashed his elbow on her arm, which made her wince greatly in pain

"Autopilot is a bit more than super reflexives."

Takachiho then kicks away Kurokami, sending her away and crashed into the arms of her Childhood Friend, who quickly held her up with a worried expression

"Medaka-Chan! Are You Ok?!"

Zenkichi was about to see what kind of damage that was done on the Beautiful Monster, though he stopped when she started to chuckle softly

"This is my victory, Senior Takachiho Shigusa~"

Medaka looks at the Reflexive Abnormal with a bright smile as she held up the USB Flash Drive in her none broken hand, much to his surprise

"I see, you sacrifice your arm to steal the data from under my nose, how very clever of you."

Takachiho could not deny how impressed he was with the Lovely Abnormal, with her genius planning and reckless behavior

"Since we got what we needed, we no longer have any more reason to stick around with you."

Medaka hid the USB Flash Drive in between her breasts, as she was helped up by her Childhood Friend, though before they could walk away, they quickly went eyes wide when they saw Hard Wrapping hold up a new and different Medium USB Flash Drive

"This contains all the profiles and extra info about all the members of the Flask Plan, including myself."

Clearly Takachiho was not done having fun and wanted the fight between them to continue, to which Ultimate Plus was about to obliged, but was quickly pulled back by Hitoyoshi

"I'm not letting you break another arm."

Kurokami couldn't help but pout from being stopped by Zenkichi, but said nothing and let him walk ahead as she took a step back and tend to her injured arm

"I was hoping for a Round 2 with the Council President."

Takachiho wore a eager smile and got back into his boxing stance, fist clenched and was shaking with excitement

"But I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to fighting you to~"

The science side and the fighter side of Takachiho wanted to do badly experience and learn about what Hitoyoshi had to offer him, to which he did not hesitate to reveal what has, quickly turning the dial and press down on it, as he was quickly turned into Gold, with black design, raptor looking alien, with claws, ball wheels under his feet, and a retractable X mask visor, seeing such a unique transformation definitely interested Shigusa

"KASOKU!"

Zenkichi, now known as Kasoku in his new form, lowers his X visor over his blue eyes and got into a prepared stance, the Reflexive Abnormal was very eager and excited when he saw his new unknown opponent

"Well come on then, I don't hav-"

Before Takachiho could finish talking, Kasoku was already in front of him and swings his sharp claws towards him, this immediately startled him and barely had enough time for his 'Autopilot' to kick and make him dodge, and make him keep dodging as the Golden Raptor continue to swing and thrusts his claws at the Hard Wrapping with insane speed, which was enough to definitely make him sweat

'If it wasn't for my 'Autopilot', I would've been completely pierced with those claws.'

Takachiho then narrowed his eyes and took this moment to analyze and look over Zenkichi new form

'Even if Zenkichi is a simple 'Normal', the device he is wearing makes him anything but 'Abnormal'.'

Each time Takachiho dodges this Transformation attacks, he was able to learn more and understand the person he was dealing with

'He is a complete 'Wildcard', he has a form that allows him super strength, flight, intangibility, ice properties, and now superhuman speed.'

Time seemed to slow down for Takachiho as he dodge the so called Abnormal Wildcard and stood beside him

'And something tells me that this is only a single apple that fell from a very large tree… How Tres Bien~'

Takachiho then quickly tripped the Golden Raptor, who stumbled and fell forward, then he grabbed onto his tail and swings and slamming the body entire into a wall, cracking it badly, after that, the Reflexive Abnormal tried to follow that with a hard kick that was aimed at the Transformation head, forcing Zenkichi to dash away and create some distance at the opposite side of the hallway, both were slightly panting and takes this moment to catch their breath

"I'll admit, you are fast, maybe even fast enough that you could've end this fight with only one attack, however you just wasted that one attack, and you will never get a 2nd one because of how predictable and easy to read~"

Takachiho once again wore a smug expression again as he got into his fighting stance again, though he quickly went eyes wide when Golden Raptor held up his tail and revealed that he had gotten the medium size USB Flash Drive

"I didn't waste my first attack~"

Kasoku visor went up and revealed a smirk expression

"Yay!~ Go Kasoku-Kun!~"

Medaka cheers and claps for the Transformation, who couldn't help but close his visor again and hide his blushing embarrassed face, though their moment of victory was silence by Hard Wrapping clapping

"Alright, alright, you definitely passed the test of getting my full attention instead of a simple noticing glance, you probably even caught the eyes of the chairman, not bad Zenkichi, not bad at all, however."

Takachiho then quickly pulls out a new and different Large USB Flash Drive, which to the dismay of the two who saw this

"We're not done yet, as you can see, this contains everything, absolutely everything that you ever want to know, even I don't know what's in here, though I'm sure it's enough to make you both want it so badly~"

Takachiho was very eager to continue, and he was not wasting this opportunity to have even more fun with the Beautiful Monster and the Abnormal Wildcard, so much fun, he was having so much fun

"Ugh… Good grief."

Though such thoughts were interrupted by Medaka's sigh, as she started to remove her socks and shoes from her legs and feet

"Kasoku-Kun, would you join me in what I'm about to do? I want to get this done in one go."

Medaka calmly requested as she then started to rhythmically jump up and down, to which Zenkichi immediately understand what was happening and got up on his hands and feet

"No problem Medaka-Chan."

Kasoku balls quickly started to spin fast under his feet, and it only got faster and faster and faster

"Two against one, huh? You two definitely know how to make things exciting~"

Takachiho was beyond ecstatic, as he 100% prepares himself and got ready to go all out with the two, he wants to enjoy his experience, and the only way to do so is to take them completely serious, unfortunately, the fight he wanted so badly was already over before it could even begin, because in one instance, Medaka Kurokami and Zenkichi Hitoyoshi suddenly disappeared and reappear at the opposite end of the hallway, and Shigusa didn't even get the chance to process what happened, before being at the center of a very large 'Sonic Boom', which not only severely injured and make the still alive Reflexive Abnormal burst with blood, but also destroy the entire hallway that they were in, leaving nothing but rubble and ruins

"Damn, even if I tried to slow down, I was still going too fast…"

Medaka, who nearly got her clothes and body destroyed, wore a disappointed frown as she fell on one knee and took a moment to recover, or at least try to

"Not that it matters, I'm pretty sure our speed destroyed all three of the USB Flash Drives that we collected…"

Kasoku, who quickly transformed back into Zenkichi, was laying on the ground and seemed to be covered in some injuries to, as he was completely out of breath, no doubt the love he attempted took a lot of him

"Heh… Heh… So this is what it feels like to be touched?~..."

The Guard Dog and the Beautiful Monster looked back at see a barely live Takachiho, who wore a very large smile, which wasn't out of arrogant or smugness, but out of pure happiness and competentness

"Thank you… Medaka Kurokami… Zenkichi Hitoyoshi… It was truly… Tres Bien~"

Was all Takachiho could say before passing out and fell into deep unconsciousness, which made Medaka Kurokami smile softly at this

"I guess this wasn't a complete loss, Zenkichi-Kun~..."

"... Who still says Tres Bien these days?"

Would like to let everyone know that while Maguro Kurokami did help Zenkichi get a better understanding of his watch and aliens, he still needs practice and more training that last more than 1 day, because right now, Zenkichi is relying on pure instinct, of course he does know some martial arts, but that only works with his human form, or humanoid like form, he still needs to learn other fighting styles that would fit with each of his other transformation.

(BTW, whenever Zenkichi transform, Medaka will treat each transformation like it's their own person, and will call them by their respective names, like calling Zenkichi XLR8 Alien "Kasoku", since that's his name when in that form)
