Chapter 1
Several days before the visit of Russian Prime Minister.
"Did you call for me, Igawa-san?" Murasaki slightly opened the door of the principal's office and pushed through her head into the door aperture.
"Yes, Murasaki, come in." Asagi referred and let her enter her office; she quickly removed all her papers aside, "Please sit down." when Murasaki sat, Asagi continued, "I have got a special mission for you."
"Why it's so special?" Murasaki raised her eyebrow in amusement, "Is it connected with our new troublesome lunatics?"
"Here's the problem that I don't know with who it's connected." Asagi sighed.
"Well, if even you don't know with whom we are dealing, then it's really important one, but what it's all about?" Murasaki asked her again trying to know what she is about to do.
"We received information that some fabric which is specializing on robots is making some danger project that can be used against us."
"What?!" the woman with glassed exclaimed, "But as I remember, all factories who works with robots, are supervised by the government, and these dumb heads don't know about it?!"
"As I understand they don't know about it, because they create this thing secretly." Asagi said, and put her hands into a lock, "I think that it's some sort of a personal order, but who could offer it, that's another question."
"I see, do we have a clue on who could be connected with this suspicion?"
"We suspect Sasaki Tekumi in this, but still we have no evidences on his activity with the crime world." Asagi explained.
"Wait a minute, that Sasaki who has arrangements on supplying training cyborgs to us?" Murasaki seemed misunderstanding, Asagi only nodded, "But, how he could be connected with crime world? I thought that his factories are under our strict control."
"I still don't know everything myself, but it seems that he has some secret factory, which creates terrible inventions." she did a paused, "I would take it personally, but because of the coming of Russian Minister, I won't be able to leave the village, and I need someone skillful to investigate it."
"I see." Murasaki said, "Will I go there alone or with some one?"
"Yes, you'll go for it with Shizuru." Asagi said with a smile seeing how Murasaki tensed.
"Please, can you join me with someone else; I would rather work with Sakura then with her." Murasaki seemed not happy from heard.
"It's the only partner I can give you; I'm planning to send your brother with Sakura and Oleg to protect this Minister."
"It'll be irritating mission." Murasaki deeply sighed, and heard next Asagi's words.
"Don't worry, I know she can be troublesome in some ways, but when it's needed, she can be serious as you."
"It would be better if she would always be serious, but not only in battles."
"Don't worry, it don't think she will give you too much troubles." Asagi still had a gentle smile on her faces.
From that smile, Murasaki became a bit calmer, and softer, "By the way, is there anything about these guys from that 'Law'?"
"No, right now there's nothing on them, but tonight we're to investigate some place in Tokyo Kingdom, and I think we will encounter them."
"Still can't belive that Naomi is working with them, what could bind her with these scums?" Murasaki became thoughtful.
"I don't know, we still know nothing about these people, and our Russian friends still didn't say too much about them."
"If it was my will I would make them speak about these scums." Murasaki said squeezing her fist.
"It wouldn't be wise." Asagi responded, "Right now we must wait and try to prevent all their attempts on doing something."
"Well, to that mission when we should depart?" Murasaki asked her.
"In two day." the strongest Taimanin responded, "There will be an expo of robotic inventions in Fukuoka, I think you must start from it, maybe you'll be able find any clues there."
"Got it." Murasaki nodded, "I'll do my best on this mission." Murasaki said getting up, "Don't worry, we'll find the one who is working behind us." Murasaki said firmly.
Then Asagi gave some files to Murasaki, which could help her during this mission, and then woman with doctor's robe left the office.
Nowadays.
"Kousaka, please could you stop blabbering? It unnerves me!" Murasaki said to the woman who was sitting next to her, and was energetically telling something. The woman was a tall blonde, she had green eyes, and soft features of face. She was wearing a red jacket with a black miniskirt, under her jacked, which exposed upper part of her pretty big bust and neck, she had a black tank top, her legs were closed with stockings, and she also was wearing red shoes. Her hair was tied in two pigtails, and it was also possible to see that she was wearing glasses.
"What I just want to know a little about these Russian hunters." the woman said to the teacher, who was wearing black official suit, and was wearing glasses too, "And also I'm telling my hypotheses about them, and also I would like to know about that 'Third Law', what differences are between them and NOMAD?"
The woman were riding in a car by a pretty white street, it was a daytime.
"Everything was written in the report. If you didn't read it, that's not my problem." Murasaki said starting to become irritated.
"The problem is that I've read it, and read several time, that I know it brilliantly, but still I have some questions, about them, so I wanted to know, since it was you who contacted with these people, and what connection is between them and 'Black Wing'?" she asked her again.
"I've just told you, I know as much as you know." Murasaki raised her voice, "This Russian teacher doesn't tell us much about them, because he has his own orders, thus we have to wait when his government will start to act."
"It's so pity that I was on missions for that period of time; maybe I could have a talk with him." Kousaka sighed, "Another question, what subject does he teach?"
"Demonic biology." she merely responded, "As I understand he tell some secrets and aspects of demonic bodies' structure."
"Have you been to his lesson?"
"Why should I? I have my lessons too." Murasaki referred.
"On your place I would try to visit his lessons maybe you would know something new." Kousaka chuckled, "It's never late to know something new, especially for you Murasaki."
"What does it mean?" Murasaki turned her head to the woman.
"And what about that boy?" Kousaka quickly asked another question.
"Pavel? Well he is not a bad boy; he does everything what is given and tries his best." Murasaki replied.
"And how does he work during missions?" she asked the blue haired woman again.
"This question is better to ask to Sakura or Hirata, they were the ones who worked with him."
"I see." Kousaka replied and then took out a tablet out of her hand bag; she quickly turned it on and then started to read.
"What are you reading?" Murasaki asked her.
"I'm preparing for the expo we are going to visit today." her interlocutor quickly replied, "We should know what its conductor will tell us during it, there will be lots of robots and other technical staff, that can be very helpful to other people in the future."
"Don't forget that its main representative Sasaki Tekumi is our primal target, we must know has he some contacts with demons or other criminal structures." Murasaki said to her.
"Yes, but still we are to take part in that expo, maybe we will be able to find there something." the woman said with a smile, "As I remember you've never like stuff like mechanics."
"Yes, I've never liked it." Murasaki nodded, "I always preferred social studying and chemistry."
"But I'm vice versa, I always like to read about last inventions and other stuff like this, especially if their done by other countries, but with our job I can't visit them too often." Kousaka said being upset.
"As I remember it right we have to find some strong weapon that can be used against us in the future, am I right?"
"Yes, Asagi is afraid that the main representative could create some fearsome invention that can resist to our attacks, and we have to deal with it, and punish the scum."
"I see." Murasaki nodded, "But what if this information is false and he have nothing like this?"
"Then we will be able to sleep peacefully." the green eyed woman chuckled.
The car stopped in front of a big square, two Taimanin went out of the car, Kousaka closed her eyes, as bright sun quickly hit her eyes. The car quickly went further, Murasaki turned and both of them went by a main road of the square.
"Wow, it's pretty crowded here, didn't think that even ordinary people would come to the other part of the country to see this expo." the girl said, watching at the people, "Did you take your VIP pass."
"Yes." Murasaki took out a small badge out of her pocket and fixed it onto her jacket, Kousaka did the same, but hers one was with a ribbon so she put it onto her neck.
The square was crowded, lots of people were wandering and rambling with each other, in some places from the sides of the square were some robots, some of them reminded humans, some of them animals, but some of them had peculiar shape, like drones and some other stuff.
"Man this place is so wonderful." Kousaka was turning her head from one side to another one.
"This place would be wonderful, if something from these things wouldn't try to kill us." Murasaki said irritated.
"Don't exaggerate it." Shizuru chuckled, "From this expositions nothing will harm us, see? Even children are hanging out here." Kousaka pointed at the bunch of kids that were wandering around animal cyborgs, but Murasaki only pished away at her statement, "With such attitude Asagi will never pay attention at you." the blonde woman chuckled.
"What?!" Murasaki exclaimed with her face blushing.
"What didn't you think that I don't know about this?" Kousaka got closer to Murasaki, "Everyone in the academy knows about it."
"I would like not to talk about something like this on missions." Murasaki didn't like the behavior of her partner, "Let's better focus on our mission." but still she looked at the kids, who were watching at robots again, and thought about something only she knew.
"Man, we must hurry." Shizuru said watching at her watch "The main conference is about to start."
"Then let's hurry." Murasaki said and both women increased their pace, also clattering with their shoes.
Both women headed to the end of the square, where was a pretty wide two floored building. It was protected well; there were several robots that were patrolling the area, also there were several people in black official costumes, which were walking by the square, but at the same time their attention was paid to the building. Murasaki and Shizuru stood into the queue, which was headed to the same place, Shizuru decided to read a booklet, which was given by some woman, while Murasaki was trying to listen to the people who were in front of her.
"Can't wait to see what Sasaki will display, this time!" a man said to his interlocutor, "Maybe it's something magnificent."
"I don't know, but if I remember it right, he didn't take part in it last year." the second person replied, "Maybe he was preparing something special?"
"Perhaps." the first man said again, "But, still it's a big questions, will he take part in it or not."
Murasaki quickly understood that most of the presenters were journalists; there also were some politicians and some businessmen.
'So, his participation is still unknown.' Murasaki thought, 'If he doesn't take part, our presence on this expo is pointless.'
"Wow, they even have some examples of battle cyborgs." Kousaka exclaimed still holding her eyes on this booklet.
"Battle cyborgs?" Murasaki reasked her, watching somewhere to her right.
"Yes, but they will only be showed for special guests, and we are among them." Shizuru said with a smile, but ten turned her head to Murasaki, "What is it? You seem distracted.
"No nothing, just thought that I saw someone." Murasaki replied, turning her head to the queue, preparing herself for the entrance.
"Wow, so many amazing things!" the boy who was fifteen years old exclaimed running from one robot to another one.
"What so amazing in them?" a man with black sun glasses said walking after the boy, also watching at the people's inventions, "We saw much more interesting species of them."
"Yeah, but it's a big rarity to see just harmless robots." the boy said coming to a robotic dog, he even squatted in order for look it better, he also petted it.
"As for me, it's just some sort of a scrapyard, I would took these bodies and do something really better out of them."
"Mechanic, just admit that never accept robot only you create." the boy chuckled, turning to the man with sunglasses.
"Of course, I am." Mechanic replied.
Mechanic was wearing a pair of jeans, shoes and a white shirt under the black vest. The boy who was walking around him was Kangaroo, he was wearing jeans too, but his upper part was closed only with a yellow shirt. He also had a schoolbag on his bag.
"By the way, here." Kangaroo stretched a booklet to the man, "As I've read out, they will have an exposition of battle robots."
"Battle robots?" the man took the booklet and quickly glanced it through, "Well, these models are out of date; as I remember they were popular three or two years ago."
"Have you met them?" the boy asked him.
"Yes, but they were made only for training hunters, nothing more. If you want I can make this robot in several weeks and at the same time, I'll improve it, but still it won't be a match even for Hush."
"By the way, why Massimo didn't come with us?"
"Can you imagine someone like him in this ambience?" Mechanic reasked the boy, "It would be much better if he stays behind and protect our back if something goes wrong.
"Yeah, your truth." the boy responded, "By the way, could you tell what we are looking for?"
"We are looking for battle suit that was made to oppose Taimanin, if something like this is created even we will have lots of problems." Mechanic explained, "And as Commander added later, this place is a good one for looking the needed information."
"Do we know who wants to create this weapon?"
"Know, but as Commander it must someone from organizers of this expo, that's why the mission was delayed for that long." they came to the queue and Paul asked the boy again, "Where are our passes?" he said watching at the two floored building.
The boy put off his bag and opened it, he started to dig into it, and then exclaimed, "Crap, I've forgot our passes!"
"You what?!" Paul was astonished of hearing he wanted to add something, but suddenly saw, how the boy was taking them out.
"Just kidding." he chuckled throwing Paul's badge.
"You know, I'm not as kind as our kind comrade, next time, I'll punish you." Paul caught it, and fixed it onto his vest, while the boy put it onto his neck.
"Sorry, sorry." the boy quickly apologized.
The queue moved pretty fast, but still it was pretty big, so Mechanic and Kangaroo decided to chat for a little more, they guessed what they would meet inside of the building. However after some period of time they finally entered the needed place. The place was full of scientific and modern stuff, like robots special cars and etc. There were not so many people like outside, but still it was pretty crowded.
'So is this the fun of the fire?' Mechanic asked himself, 'Nothing special for me.'
"So I was right, when I thought that we have already met before." the two heard a female voice behind them. Mechanic and Kangaroo turned around and saw Murasaki who was standing behind them.
"Wow, it's you! Hello again." the boy said merrily, running to the Taimanin.
"Didn't think that we would meet you here." Mechanic said recognizing his friend's sister, "Are you here just for watching or on business?"
"And what about you?" Murasaki asked him too, not wanting to answer this question.
"On business." Mechanic quickly replied, "Don't want to cooperate? Last time we did a great work together."
"I'll think." Murasaki replied, and then added, "Didn't you decide to join us?" she asked the boy.
"I'm with them." the boy quickly responded, and then asked her, "By the way, are you alone here or not?"
"With a companion and what you?"
"With someone else." Paul replied quickly, "One more thing, don't want to join us for a cup of coffee? Maybe we could join our forces and work together again, if our aims are same?"
"I'll think but promise nothing, even if you're a friend of my brother, I still don't trust you much, so don't hope on working too much." Murasaki replied him and went somewhere else, likewise she was looking for someone else.
"Still can't understand how they could be relatives." Mechanic sighed.
"Hey the presentation is about to start!" Kangaroo said quickly, "We must hurry!"
"Yeah let's go."
The two persons went to the ladder which was seen from their place; he turned his head and saw Murasaki with a blonde woman, who was discussing something. The man decided not to interfere and started to get up by the ladder with the boy.
In no time they reached the second floor, which was wide too, but still there were no expositions, but only places for sitting, in front of them was a stage, with tribune. From both sides of the floor were projectors which were directed to the wall next to the tribune. The people started to gather, Mechanic and Kangaroo decided to sit in the middle, what will allow them to watch everything perfectly, Murasaki and Kousaka decided to sit almost next to the stage, their row was third, and the of the two males' was sixth.
The people were coming for about ten or so minutes, but when everyone took needed place, they saw a man who was coming to the tribune, he was holding some papers in his hands and when he was near with it he put the pile onto it. When he saw how final person took his place, he finally started.
"Greetings ladies and gentlemen!" he said into the microphone, "I'm glad to see that all of you came to this exposition I hope you are enjoying it." the man was wearing black official costume, the man was pretty tall, and handsome at the same time, he was watching at the audience and then continued, "All of likes robots, they are doing our lives easier and sometimes safer..."
'Safer.' Murasaki smirked in her head.
"I know many of you are skeptical to robots, but today, I want to show you something special. Many off you are interested, why I didn't take part in the last exposition? Because I wanted to do something special, and our factory was able to do this." after these words, they saw how display appeared on the walls from both sides of the tribune, there was some cyborg on both. It reminded a human but still was completely metallic, "This cyborg is our latest creation, and soon we hope it will be the part of our army, and police structure."
"Have you met it before?" Kangaroo whispered to Mechanic, the man only shook with his head.
'Is it the weapon Asagi wanted to know?' Murasaki thought, 'No, if it was it, he wouldn't expose it this way.'
'Not a bad design.' Shizuru thought examining the image of the cyborg, 'What it can do is another question.'
"You'll be able to see the work of this cyborg today too, what it can do and how he differ from latest models. The best way to show it is to make a somewhat of an exponential battle between two such models." he said chuckling, "But first I would like to tell you about our current state." the man said this and suddenly the roof almost above him started to crack, "What the…" the man raised his head and then jumped away on instincts, the shatters started to fall onto the stage.
"What the hell is going on?" Shizuru quickly got up, Murasaki did the same.
"Did you think you could get away from me not paying your debts?" there was a voice, out of the whole, and in next moment something flew into the building, and started to fly around the place.
'Even now we have to work.' Mechanic spitted and looked at Kangaroo who was ready to fight, the two male quickly left the conference hall, Murasaki saw them and followed them, along with Shizuru.
"Do you know these guys?" Shizuru asked her when they were next to the ladder.
"Kinda." Murasaki merely responded.
When they left, other two things joined the first one which disturbed the exposition. All three intruders reminded cyborgs, and all of them started to fly by the hall. The man who was giving a speech tried to escape too, but the flying person flew to him and grabbed him by the back of his jacket.
"Where are you going Mister Tekumi?" he asked the man in the costume, "Did you think you can just engage in double dealing with me and have nothing in exchange? I'm sorry but I'll not as kind as you think."
"Put me down and we'll discuss everything!" Sasaki Tekumi said with a worried voice.
"Of course we will discuss everything." the man laughed, still flying, but suddenly his leg was felt somehow strange, "What the…?" he turned around and saw how his leg was tied with a somewhat of a whip, and it was in a hands of a beautiful woman with glasses and blonde hair, who was wearing a black and red ninja attire. Her costume closed almost all of her body, except the part of her hips and a little place on her arms. The half of her face was closed with a mask, which covered everything till the top of her nose.
"Heading somewhere?" she asked him.
"Hey girl, you're not the one I want to talk but if you want I can give a flight to both."
The other two job-hoppers flew to Shizuru. The woman released the person and dodged away from them, but then they flew to her again, Shizuru dodged one of them again, but saw how another one was flying at her.
'Shit, he is fast!' she thought, as she saw how something gleaming appeared out of his wrist, but when he was near with her, it clashed with another obstacle, which was Murasaki with her massive axe.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" the person asked rather himself than someone else, "Two Taimanin, don't we?"
"Just in time." Shizuru said to Murasaki
"What do we have here? Just another scums from that 'Law'?" Murasaki asked Shizuru, the blonde wanted to answer something, but wasn't able to do this, as the intruder was the first.
"Oh, have you encountered 'The Third Law'? I'm surprised how could you survive the meeting with them?"
"Let him go at once!" Murasaki shouted to the person.
"Why should I?" the man who was drifting in the air asked her chuckling, "What will happen then? You're on the ground and we are in the air." he laughed.
"Here we go!" they heard a childish voice somewhere, and in next moment the person saw how a kid was flying straight at him.
"What?!" he flew a side, but not well, and boy's claws could perfectly hit the man's arm. That move allowed him to let go Sasaki. 'That bastard kid!'
The man started fall, but quickly was caught by another man, who was wearing pants with a red vest above the singlet, and his eyes were covered with sun glasses. Mechanic landed onto the floor and let go Sasaki too.
"Not a bad flight kid." Mechanic praised kangaroo.
"Thanks!" the boy exclaimed dodging from the lunge of another flying person.
"Massimo, help to the blonde!" Mechanic shouted to a massive man who was holding a massive axe in his hands, the man was in a green vest, and in black pants, his legs and arms were covered with metal boots and gloves.
"Got it!" the massive one exclaimed and rushed to help Shizuru who was trying to catch another flying person with her whip, which was a spike withe.
"Was the heads sent reinforcement to us?" Shizuru asked Murasaki.
"I'll tell you later." Murasaki sighed deeply.
"My, what do we have here?" the person in the air said being wondered, "Mechanic long time no see, how are you doing? Have you restored your arm since Croatia?"
"Do you know him?" Murasaki asked him as she got to him.
"Kinda." Mechanic spitted, "This bastard is a real pain in the ass."
"How rude, if I gave you some troubles it doesn't mean that I'm a pain." he chuckled at his statement, "There're even other two members of 'Red Division'."
'Red Division?' Shizuru thought glancing at her massive ally, and then at the kid, who was only dodging from his opponent, 'The group of mercenaries who works all over the world? Since when does Murasaki know them?'
"His nick name is Mosquito; he is somewhat of hunter for information." Paul explained to Murasaki.
"Hunter for information?" Murasaki didn't understand and then shouted, "Aside!" as a small rocket was flying at them.
The explosion wasn't strong, but still dangerous. Paul rubbed his head and shouted.
"Murasaki how are you?!" he saw at the woman who had several scratched and wounds which were quickly restored.
"I'm fine, don't worry." she quickly responded, and started to glance around, 'Wait, where's that Sasaki?"
Paul understood who she was looking for, and shouted, "Kangaroo, didn't you see a man whom you saved?"
"Do you really think that I could see something?" the boy responded trying to find an opportunity to strike his flying opponent, but could find it, as he was fast and clever.
"It seems that he has escaped." Paul responded to Murasaki, the woman only spitted.
"Man it wasn't in my plan." Mosquito said watching from side to side too, he put his hand onto his belt and took some ball and then throw it onto the floor, "We're leaving guys." His two allies quickly flew to him, and in next moment they flew to the whole that led outside, 'I would like to play with you a bit longer, but work is much important, and then pressed a pressed some buttons on his console that was on his left arm, but for now I'll leave only my bomb here, if you survive let's have fun someday again!" he shouted to them flying away.
"A bomb?" Kangaroo shouted, "We must get the hell out of here!"
"And leave lots of people in danger?" Murasaki responded to him with angry notes, she ran to the bomb, straight after Paul, Shizuru and Massimo did the same, "Do you know how to deactivate it?"
"Let me think." Paul said trying to examine the bomb.
"I've never saw such ones before." Shizuru said watching at it, also trying to understand how to help with solving this problem.
Mechanic watched at her from different sides, after some second he found, somewhat of a place which seemed separating it, he detached them somehow and found lots of small wires.
"Man." Kangaroo said astonished, "Which one we should cut?"
"Shit, is it some new bomb? I've never saw him using something like that." Mechanic was irritated of what he saw.
"The hell our silent bastard is not with us? He would tie it to his damn junk and would throw somewhere else!" Massimo said being irritated.
"Shut up!" Murasaki shouted at him.
Paul didn't respond anything, he was watching at the wires thinking which one to touch. It was possible to see sweat on his forehead, and if not his metal arms, they would be sweaty too.
'Shit, this bomb is absolutely new to me!' he thought in stress, 'Where the hell did he take it? I even didn't see Hush used such ones, wait a minute.' he started to look into it more attentively, 'If it goes here, and the blue one goes there, that means the green one is in charge of activation.' He quickly removed his fingers out of it.
"Maybe this one?" Murasaki pointed at the yellow, wire.
"No, as I understand this one is fixed to the timer." he shook with his head, "Wait, if green one is for activating the blue is for timer, then…!" he took the brown one, and removed it out of its soldering place, and in no time the ticking stopped on ten seconds, "Phew!" he exhaled in relief.
"Nice job." Shizuru praised him along with Kangaroo.
"Just as expected form our collector of old junk!" Massimo praised him in his own way.
"Well, since we solved this problem, now we can solve another one." Murasaki removed her axe, "What are you doing here? I can belive that you're opposing 'The Third Law', but what thing brought you here now?"
Massimo and Kangaroo, watched at Mechanic, and he only gave them some sign. "Commander said we this time we can cooperate with them, because our hirer thought that we would encounter them in any case."
"If he said this then it's amazing!" Kangaroo exclaimed.
"Hm, working with some sexy chicks won't be bad." Massimo agreed too.
"So?" Murasaki came closer to him.
"Well, we received information that someone is creating some battle suit, and it can be dangerous to all hunters. And if he is dangerous for you, that mean he will be dangerous for us too." Mechanic explained.
"And who is your hirer?" Murasaki asked him.
"He won't tell." Shizuru said, and attracted the attention of her captain, "As I remember it right, ordinary members of your group don't know, who the hirers are, but only except and do these missions."
"Wow, you know quite a lot about us." he turned to the blonde, "Maybe you know something else about us?"
"I also know that this boy is a devoted member of yours." she chuckled at his question, "Never thought that someone so young will be a devoted one."
"Maybe I'm young, but I'm very skillful." the boy was glad hearing such praising, "Even your comrade can prove it." then he pointed at Murasaki.
"Really?" Shizuru asked Murasaki.
"I'll tell you later." the bluenette merely responded, "And what have ou discovered about this battle suit and how this flying freak can be connected with it?"
"Well, we still know nothing about it; our first point was that expo." Mechanic replied her, "And as I've already told you, that freak is a hunter for information he usually gathers somewhat, scales of new weapons and sold them."
"I see." Murasaki said, "What are you going to do with the battle suit you find?"
"Well, we had orders to destroy its data, nothing more." he responded honestly. "And what about you?"
"The same." Murasaki answered, "We have a hunch that the man who was the captivity is involved into it, but since he escaped we don't have an opportunity to interrogate him, and I don't know where we should look for him."
"Well, and at the same time, we have a psychopath, who likes to explode everything behind him." Paul added, "Perhaps he is after the same thing we're looking for."
"You know him quite well, don't you?" Shizuru asked him.
"Yes, encountered him several times in the past, and barely escaped from him and his mechanic partners."
"Then how about to discuss it after a cup of coffee?" the blonde asked him again
"I don't mind, what about you guys?"
"I'm with you!" the boy exclaimed likewise he wanted to eat.
"If there's some booze I will join!" the massive man said.
"Then let's go!" the crowed nodded and then they left the battlefield, strait before the police and journalists arrived.
"Interesting how this new teacher differs from Tereshkov-sensei?" Aki asked Ren and Maki who were walking from both sides of him.
"Well, I think she will be like him, a bit annoyed and scaring from time to time." Maki said to her boyfriend.
"I think you're exaggerating, if you would study harder you wouldn't think so!" Aki lectured his girlfriend.
"Why should I remember something, if I have you nearby?" Maki smiled to him.
"His knowledge is important too, and it much better to try remembering by yourself, and don't wait for my explanations."
"But your explanations are much better than other people's!" Maki still couldn't agree with Aki.
"Do you really think so?" the girl nodded at his question, "Well thank you…" he muttered.
"By the way Ren, how do you think, who is better?" Maki asked another friend, but Ren seemed thoughtful, so the girl tried to ask her again, "Earth to Ren! Are you with us?!"
"Ah?!" Ren paid her attention to Maki, "What is it?"
"Are you thinking about yesterday's line?"
"No, just thinking about what these new lessons of Maria." Ren responded.
"Really?" Maki got closer to her, "Or maybe you're thinking about Pavel, as I remember Asagi-sensei, held you for a bit longer together."
"Why should I think about it?" Ren asked Maki not understanding her question.
"Well, maybe because you become a bit warmer to Pavel?" Maki asked Ren with a grin.
"What a folly, I treat him like always." the tanned girl replied.
"Maki, how many times I told you not to unnerve others!" Aki gave Maki slight cuff on her nape, but then added, "However, I'm wondered too, you started to become less cold towards Pavel."
"Well, honestly, there was something, but I really wouldn't like to tell you about it." Ren mumbled the second part.
"Well no matter what happened, but still it's good that you started to become friends." Aki smiled in relief.
"And the way how you asked the reward, was really impressive, even I wouldn't think something like this." energetic Maki continued to express her emotions.
"I thought that I should share it with my classmates, nothing more." Ren merely responded.
"Oh, guys, good morning!" the heard a voice somewhere from the right.
The friends turned their head and saw the Russian quartet.
"Wow, you're in full number today, what made you to do so?" Maki asked them.
"None of your business, Sato." Oleg responded to her, "You would be better to be ready for today checking." after these words Maki strained, and mumbled something.
"Um, you're our new teacher, nice to meet you." Aki said to her.
"Nice to meet you too." Maria replied to him immideately.
"Maria, you could be a bit tender to your pupils." Oleg said to her in Russian, "After all you've already known them."
"I hope you remember my method?" Maria responded to him in the same language.
"I remember, but they're students, and still haven't encountered with mental abilities, that's why I'm telling you to be tender with them." Oleg tried to persuade her.
"If they studied how to resist to torturing machines, then they are ready to face mental powers."
"I wouldn't say that it's similar." Oleg replied to her, "It differs in some ways."
"But still similar."
"Hey what are they talking about?" Maki asked two other Russians.
"Well something about the upcoming lesson." Pavel replied to Maki.
"By the way, what will we do on these lessons?" Aki asked Pavel, being interested what was so special in these lessons.
"If to be brief, you'll study how to protect yourself from attacks of other mental users." Pavel replied.
"Another thing you should know is that her lesson will be the worst for you." Ilya entered their conversation; he saw Maki and Aki's puzzled expressions, "Because you'll know lots of pain during it."
"You're exaggerating it; her lessons are not full of pain, as she always tries to reduce it." Pavel protested.
"When she studied taught protection, almost all of us felt only pain; I don't think you're an exception." Ilya responded.
"Indeed, it was painful, but still she tries to start form minimum and then goes to maximum."
"Enough you two." Marina said with a cold voice, and both of them shut immideately, "They will see everything in their time."
'Man, she is like Yatsu-sensei.' Aki thought watching at the woman, 'Maki will have lots of troubles with her too.'
They came to the academy, and then entered it, on their way the students decided to talk to each other, while Oleg and Maria discussed something else.
"Well, Hirata-sensei wanted to discuss something with me, I will leave you here." Oleg said at the threshold of the academy, "Good luck kids."
"Thanks." the students replied to him and when further, by the corridor.
Oleg turned to the right; he was walking not too long. His way was led to the musician class.
'I hope she won't tell to anyone, that I have mental powers.' Oleg thought, while he was walking, 'And I showed it almost in presence of everyone, it will be bad if someone saw it. And that Tatsurou, why the hell he didn't tell me that he was working over the seal. Yes, I have to discuss this with Chikeko, if only she would agree to help, then Tatsurou and Yukikaze won't have troubles in leaving. We will blame 'The Third Law', and when they save Mizuki, I'll think what to say.'
Oleg continued his way until he reached the needed classroom. He saw that the door was opened, so he decided to knock at it, "Come in!" he heard a voice inside it, so he entered it and closed the door.
"Didn't know that you're already here." Oleg said seeing the woman in a gray official suit.
"Well, I just thought to prepare instruments before my lessons, nothing more." Chikeko replied to him.
"I see." the man responded coming to the guitar that was next to the piano, "Do you play all these instruments?" he suddenly asked her.
"Yes, but my favorite is flute." she responded checking the pipe making some sounds with it, "I wanted to ask you about something, when that Polish used his power on me and I couldn't move even with a finger, did you use the same power to help me?"
"Yes." the man responded taking the guitar, also making some sounds with plucking the guitar.
"And you also helped Tatsurou when your countrywoman installed those barriers in our heads." the man nodded, "But I thought, telekinesis is your power."
"I revealed mental powers much later than telekinesis." he said to her, "I even don't know how I could awake them, it was a real surprise form me."
"It seems that your mother or father had this power or maybe someone from other relatives." Chikeko said to him, putting the pipe.
"Yeah, maybe." he said somehow cold.
"Why so cold, are you in bad relations with them?" Chikeko asked him.
"I'm in no relations with them, I'm an orphan." Oleg said.
"I'm sorry; I didn't want to touch this theme." Chikeko apologized, "I didn't know this."
"No need to excuse, it's not your fault, and you didn't know this." he put the guitar and came to the violin, "I've got used to it."
"And what happened to your parents? Well I don't insist, if you don't want to tell then…" he wasn't able to finish as he responded.
"They took to drink." Oleg responded, "I don't remember the whole story, but something happened to their comrades and along with them so they couldn't bear it."
"And were you…?"
"No, I was sent to the orphanage when I was very young, I know it much later as about my mental powers."
"Well, let's return to your powers." Chikeko said with a decisive voice.
"Yes." the man smiled, he really liked how she could change themes, not like Sakura, "The problem why I don't use it is simple, I don't have enough power for it, and if I fight with someone like Archon or Maria, only using mental power, I won't stand long against them."
"I see. Did you improve them alone or…" she didn't finish, as she didn't know was it good idea to add or not.
"I had a good teacher." Oleg replied with a smile.
"What do you mean by had?"
"Let's just say, our paths separated to different ways." he said with a smile watching at the violin, "He decided to do what he thinks is right and I'm doing what I think is right."
"Got it." Chikeko said seeing that his smile was sad, 'It seems he. Is lying.' she thought watching at him, 'Perhaps there was something magnificent between them.'
"By the way, I wanted to ask you one thing." he suddenly said to her.
"What is it?" she turned to him, by her voice she became lively, seeing that their talk continues.
"Well, how should I start it better." he pondered, "I think you remember Mizuki Shiranui, don't you?" after this he heard how something fell down, "Hey, are you alright?" he ran to her seeing that another pipe fell onto the floor.
"Yes, I'm fine." she started to lean after the pipe, but Oleg grabbed it first, and gave it to her, "Of course I know her, we studied together she is one year older than I am." she took it and asked him, "Now she is disappeared, and no one knows where she is."
"Well, what if I tell you that I know where she is." Oleg suddenly said to her.
"Do you know where she is?" Chikeko couldn't belive to what she heard, "But how, could you know that? You're here only for almost two months. How could you know about it?"
"Well, I've said it a bit wrong. I don't know where she is, but I know people who supposed to know where she is." Oleg said and attracted Chikeko's attention.
"And what's with them?"
"They want to save her, and offered Yukikaze to join them in order to save her mother." Oleg answered her.
"And this people are the ones who helped us in fight with 'The Third Law' last time, am I right?" she asked him, he only nodded, "And how I can help you? The one whom you must ask is Asagi, but not me."
"Do you belive that she will agree to let them go?" Oleg asked her with a smile, "I think to put two people in this plan, Pavel and you."
"And how will we be able to bring Yukikaze to these people?" Chikeko understood the first detail of the plan, "And why you can't do this or Sakura?" hearing Sakura's name he slightly hissed.
"Well, I can't go, because Asagi can suspect something, and I'll have lots of problems from my own country, Pavel is a student and his presence won't be there significant. You as a leader of the group deliver Yukikaze and Tatsurou to these men, and they will take them for some period of time, we can play everything like they were taken by our friends from 'Law', and why I didn't take Sakura in the plan…" he stopped for a seconds, "Because, I don't trust her too much, I think she will tell everything to her sister, and that idea, and the idea with Mizuki's rescue will be thrown away."
"Do you belive they will be able to save her?" Chikeko seemed unsure.
"Well, I worked with 'Red Division', for some times, so I know that if they want to do something they will do it at any cost, I also know a little something about Mizuki Yasuhiro's connection between them."
"Her father?!" Chikeko exclaimed, "What do you mean? How can he be connected to these mercenaries?"
"I don't know what connects them both, but the fact of their connection is known to me." Oleg replied, "So, it's up to you agree to help them or not, I don't insist. You can have some problems in the future, of course I'll take the strike for myself, but still it's up to you."
Chikeko sat onto her chair; she didn't say anything and was thinking about everything what she has just heard.
'Well, this plan is not bad. I don't think that Oleg is lying, the problem is that I don't know what to say, I want Yukikaze to find her mother, but what if something happens to her and Tatsurou.' she stopped for a second, 'And he asked me first, not even coming to Sakura.' after this thought, she her cheeks became slightly red.
Suddenly their thoughts were interrupted with a knock at the door.
"Didn't I interrupt you?" they heard a female's voice.
They turned their head and saw Sakura who was standing in the doorway; Oleg became frown of her appearance, while Chikeko was only stumbled.
"Chikeko, can I borrow him?" Sakura asked her with a playful voice.
"It depends in what you need from him." Chikeko seemed, didn't like how things turned, and she didn't want Sakura to hang around Oleg too, "Right now he helps me to prepare the instruments for the lessons."
"Really, I thought biology and music never cross with each other." Sakura chuckled, Oleg wanted to say something, but Chikeko said first.
"He offered to help me with instruments, why should I reject someone's offer to help?" Chikeko tried to find out a way how to turn the talk in another way.
"Don't worry, I'll return him you fast." Sakura smiled, Chikeko wanted to protest, but Oleg put his hand onto her shoulder and whispered.
"Cool down, I'll deal with it, if she heard something; I'll find what to say." Chikeko nodded and then the man left the class.
Sakura went by the corridor and Oleg walked behind her.
'Is she leading me to Asagi?' he thought, but then they did several turns, 'No, it seems she wants to speak with me personally, well let's see where it will go.'
They finally came to some empty classroom; Sakura entered it last, and quickly closed the door.
"Finally we can talk." Sakura said.
"What do you want to talk with me about?" Oleg decided to play dumb, as he wasn't sure what Sakura wanted to talk with him about.
"I want to talk with you about one person." Oleg narrowed his eyes, "That Polish doctor, I couldn't find a minute to talk with you, because of that meeting with minister."
"And what do you want to ask me about?" Oleg asked her again, feeling much better that the talk didn't led to Yukikaze and her wish to go for searching of her mother.
"When we were on a mission all together, I, Rinko, Maki and Aki were fighting the squad where that freak came, and one thing made me interested, his uniform was similar to yours and that woman's, who is a teacher now."
"The same uniform?" Oleg reasked her.
"Yes, you told me that it means nothing, but I think it means a lot, I understood it later, that Pavel's uniform and the one of the other young hunters is different from yours, so what will you answer for that?" Sakura raised her eyebrow.
"Did you talk with it to your sister?" Oleg asked her straight.
"No, I just wanted to ask you personally." Asagi asked her, "Sis knows nothing about it."
"I see." Oleg replied, 'It seems I have no other chance, but to tell her truth.' he sighed, "Fine, I'll tell you, but I want you to promise me, that you tell to no one about what I tell you, not to Asagi, not to Maria."
Sakura looked at him seriously, "I promise." Sakura nodded.
"The problem why I wear this uniform is that I have mental abilities." Oleg replied, he saw that Sakura wanted to ask him something, he didn't give her such opportunity, "I know your puzzlement, I was taken there as somewhat of a protector, I know about these abilities a lot so they took me there."
"Such simple explanation?" Sakura asked him, "But how did you learn to use them."
'Let's just say, I had a good teacher.' Oleg replied to her, still warring had she heard something of their talk or not.
"But why do you hide them? I mean with your telekinesis and these mental abilities, you could defeat enemies quickly."
"I can't use them like other people, here's the problem. I don't have enough power for them, so rarely use them; usually send ability is not as strong as the first one. If I use it too often I'll lose my physical powers fast."
"But still you use them." Sakura said being pondered, "Wait a minute that means you could put these barriers."
"I've already told you, I couldn't. If I would helped her, I wouldn't be able to go with you on that mission, and instead of her, I wouldn't be able to work even a half of you."
"But why don't you want to tell her that you have these powers?" Sakura still couldn't understand this part.
"I don't want." Oleg said, "It'll give her and to other's lots of troubles, our country works really hard with people, who use mental abilities."
"I see." Sakura replied, she felt how Oleg was answering, so she didn't want to disturb this theme, "Does Chikeko know about your power?"
"Yes." Oleg answered fairly, "I helped her when she was ambushed by Przemislav trick, and I explained her this right now."
Silence started, Oleg didn't want to talk on hot topics, so he wasn't verbose, Sakura on the other hand, didn't know how to start the talk their conversation of Masami made a good distance between them, but then Sakura decided to start.
"Listen, about what happened then…" Oleg frowned, he wanted to say something, but Sakura was first, "I want to apologize, if I heart you with my words, then please forgive me! But, you must know that you're not the only one who suffered a lot."
"What do you mean?" Oleg didn't understand what she was talking about.
"I suffered a lot too." Sakura only said with a serious voice, "If I act childish and merrily every time, that doesn't mean that I'm wasn't tortured or was trying to be broken." Sakura stopped and then continued, "I want to say, that having friends everything can be overcome, even difficult times can become not so sore if you have someone who will share this burden with you. I also lost important people along with sis, so don't think that you're special."
Oleg smiled sadly, "The problem is that you had such people, while I always had almost no one around, to share these feelings."
"But what about that woman, Maria, I thought she is your friend." Sakura still didn't want to belive that this man had no friends.
"I had several people in my life, and the only one who is still near with me is Maria, but being near, she is still far from me, because of her brother's betrayal."
"I and sis had two important people in our life, one is dead and another one's fate is much worse than death."
Oleg suddenly asked her, "What happened with them?" he didn't want to ask this question, but it was asked instinctively.
Sakura smiled sadly, "And was captured along with sis, and turned into a demon, in the end she killed him, and the other one was tricked and turned into a flesh ball with some strange magic." Sakura briefly described, what happened to these people.
"Can I ask you a question?" Oleg turned to her, he looked at her eyes for the first time, since their talk, Sakura nodded, "What would you do if Asagi would betray you on purpose, and would give you for torturing to some enemy?"
"Why are you asking this?" Sakura stumbled, but then said, with a lowered voice, "Wait, do you want to say that Archon did this to Maria?" Sakura asked him.
'To both of us." Oleg replied to her, "So, what would you do?" Oleg asked her once again.
"I… don't know." Sakura confessed, "I even can't imagine the picture how sis or I betray each other."
The talk stopped, Sakura didn't know what to say, while Oleg seemed not willing to talk, it was lasting long, but then Oleg turn to the door, and said, "I'll go for now I think you should prepare for you lesson."
Sakura looked at him, by her eyes it was possible to see that she didn't want to leave Oleg like this, so when he put his hand onto the handle of the door, he heard her merry voice.
"If you need to talk to someone, don't hesitate, I'll listen out and perhaps even give you some advice." Sakura smiled to him with her brand smile.
"I'll remember it." Oleg smiled to her, opened the latch and standing in the door way said, "Thank you for encouraging speech." and then left the classroom.
He returned to the musician class, and Chikeko started to fill him up with questions.
"Don't worry, she want just to talk nothing more." Oleg tried to cool her temper down.
"What did she ask you about? Did she hear our talk?" Chikeko didn't stop.
"I think now, she just wanted to know something about Wojciechowski, nothing more." Oleg decided not to tell about the other part of their talk.
"Good that it was the only thing she wanted to discuss." Chikeko started to became lees emotional, "By the way I'm with you."
"Huh?" Oleg didn't understood what the woman was talking about.
"I mean I' with you in your plan, just tell what's needed from me, and I'll try to do it." Oleg smiled at her words and said.
"Nice, now listen to the plan."
