Chapter 3

Nico Kojo (古城 ニコ), a high school boy in his teens with black hair and eyes. He wears a black jacket and an orange shirt, though he always changes it depending on his mood.

Holding on to his school related things in his bag, while walking to school, he passes by a group of people who were forming a circle, in the middle being Kurushima Kanzaki (神崎 来島) and Aichi Nakajima (中島 愛知), two Rank 7 Inducers looking as if they were ready to fight. However, Kurushima didn't look like he wanted to.

"What do I want?! Well, I want a fight! You always find a stupid excuse to try and not battle me! What? You afraid you might lose?"

Aichi states with a grin across his face. Kurushima sighs.

"I'd rather not, Nakajima. You really want to fight here where you might injure innocent people? I can't stand people like that. You always try to pick a fight at the wrong place and the wrong time."

"Tch. Fine. Let's take it outside the city!"

"No. I'm good. I'd fight you, but that'd actually be offense to those who actually deserve my time and effort."

Aichi's grin disappeared as his expression changed to more of a ticked off one as Kurushima would turn around and walk off.

"You little-!"

People moved aside in order to let the silver haired male pass. Nico catches up to him.

"Hey! Kurushima!"

"Hm? Oh, Hey, Kojo."

"Still at it with you huh?"

"Yeah. He makes being a Rank 7 suck. Always trying to fight every high ranked inducer."

An Inducer (誘導物質). Someone who was born with special abilities. It's far different from someone who earns their abilities. There are Seven Ranks with only six Rank 7 Inducers. Kurushima Kanzaki and Aichi Nakajima being two of them. Inducers rank up when they train, research or surpass their current rank's limit. Nico is only a third rank and was born with ice abilities which let him form ice-type weapons and survive cold conditions.

Inducers, when undergoing the special annual program are named "Inducer Ranker No. [Person's Rank Here]" (誘導物質階級の). In Nico's case, he's "Inducer Ranker No. 3 'Ice Rush' (誘導物質階級の三「氷突進」).

"Somehow I'm kinda glad that I'm not at your rank ahaha..."

Nico nervously chuckled after replying with that. The two continued making their way toward their school. However, upon reaching the entrance, a girl with black hair approached the two, mainly Kurushima, in an annoyed mood.

"You're late! Oh, I hope you haven't forgotten that you have to give me some money for some things."

"Hmph. I can come whenever I want, Airi. Just because you're my young step-sister doesn't mean you can boss me around. Maybe you should actually get a job instead of asking me to give you some."

To Nico, it was obvious that these two, who were apparently stepsiblings, didn't really like each other.

"I have no time for this, Airi."

Kurushima responds, him walking away from her. She stomps her foot down.

"Grr..."

She then glares at Nico.

"...What are you staring at?"

"Uh... O-Oh! Nothing! Nothing at all! Haha... ha…"

He nervously laughs as he enters through the front entrance and exhales before going to his class. There, once he entered, he was greeted by a familiar voice, said voice belonged to his old childhood friend, Aihara Kendo (剣道 相原). A girl with blue hair in a pony-tail and also dark blue eyes.

"You're here!"

She proceeded to hug him, everyone in the class staring.

"Aihara? Everyone's staring..."

She knows it was probably embarrassing for him so she ended the hug and smiles. Some of the guys a bit jealous. Aihara would always be asked to go on a date, but she'd always reject politely as she was interested in someone else. Even though she was Nico's childhood friend, she never really had any romantic interest in him, nor did he to her.

Nico was abandoned by his father as he already had enough issues to deal with and didn't want to spend extra money on him, his mother died during childbirth which was part of his issues. An orphanage took him in and that's where he lived. When he was told why he was abandoned, he hated his father, he hopes to never see him again. Aihara's grandmother owned the orphanage and that's how he met her. They always talked to each other and helped Aihara's grandmother with the place. Once they were old enough, they moved out to get their own apartments. Though, they always check up on Aihara's grandmother to see how she's holding up. To the grandmother, Nico was, and in fact still is, like a grandson to her.

Hours passed as the school day finished. Aihara stopped at the front entrance.

"Hey, Nico? Is it alright if you can go check the mall to see if they have Book 5 of Super Luigi?"

"Huh? Can't you just-"

"I'm gonna be busy, I'm going to go check up on my grandma... You don't have to do the favor you know!"

He sighs before responding.

"Sure, I'll go check. Can't you just buy it off of the Internet though?"

He says as the two continue walking after exiting the school gates.

"Are you implying I should waste tons of money on it online?"

"Well... It'd be easier... That way you don't have to check every single day..."

"Excuse me, Nico! I'm not buying it off the Internet! eShroom and Forest have copies that go well over a whopping thousand coins!"

His eyes widen.

"What?! A Thousand coins?! No way!"

"Mhm Mhm! A thousand coins! I can't even save up because I need to pay off a bit of my rent and buy school books and agh! Super Luigi Book 5 is the rarest one of them all for that reason especially!"

"Wh-what about the Barnes and Toad's website?", Nico asked. Aihara shook her head.

"Nope. They say that they won't get it because of low stock."

He sighs and then nervously smiles. The two talk and talk until they go their separate ways. The boy going towards the mall to check if they have the fifth book of the so-called "Super Luigi" series.

On the fourth floor, he looks around the bookstore looking for fifth volume. Outside on a bench, sat down a figure with sunglasses and a small device. Said figure pushed down one of the buttons as around the floor, beeps were heard. The beeps got faster and faster.

Further away, sat Lydia, the light chestnut-hair colored woman. She, like the others, stood confused while hearing the continuous beeps. After one of the noises, the last thing heard and seen was an explosion on one side of the floor. Lydia knew what was happening, she knew more would be coming. She quickly stood up and swung her arms to the sides which sent out purple and black auras in order to create a type of protective shield. The shield was large enough to hold in and protect the area she was in and the civilians.

The bombs set would not only damage the floor, but obviously the stores. Mirrors shattered, pillars broke apart, among other disasters. After the explosions died down, sirens were heard as Lydia deactivated her ability after clearing out a bit of smoke. She looked around the area in order to see if she could find any survivors. Most of the people only received small injuries.

Lydia would break through a window and use her ability once again to make a ladder to the bottom as she lead people go down one by one. As the last one went down, Lydia checked once more around the floor. Once she passed by a section of the area, she noticed a boy under some rubble, not even making any movement. She quickly ran over to the male, picked up the rubble that trampled him, and threw them to the side before checking his pulse.

"Still alive... Be strong, kiddo..."

Lydia states as she picks him up and jumps down to the very bottom where everybody was. Some raced in with a stretcher, Lydia placing the male onto it and jumps into the vehicle along with the others as it raced to the nearest clinic.

Hours passed as Lydia sat and waited in the lobby before she was finally told it was okay to visit the boy. Lydia entered the room and sat down on the chair that was placed next to the bed. She looked at him until he finally woke up and slowly sat up straight.

"How you holding up, kid?"

"... Last thing I remember was being crushed or something..."

"Bob-Omb's... They exploded. I rescued you from under the rubble. Doctor said they were going to call your parents-"

"Call them and tell them don't."

"... Why? Your parents need to pay for your medical bill-"

"They won't... my... my mother passed away during childbirth. After that, my dad abandoned me because he thought I'd be too much trouble. He had lots more issues to deal with... I don't think he will pay in order to help me…"

For talking to a stranger, he seemed cool with it. He's never met Lydia before and he seems to be taking it politely.

As Lydia listened to his backstory, she slowly took out an envelope she had opened before she visited the mall.

"I just got my check. 15,000 Coins…"

She smiles as she remembers she still needs to do something in order to redeem herself. Lydia stood up and was about to leave.

"... Miss, you don't have to-"

"I'd rather help a life, kid. I'll go pay your bill off. Everything will be alright…"

"Wait! What's… Your name?"

"... Lydia."

She says with a smile before leaving the room. Nico looked down and then laid on his back again, looking at the ceiling from then on.

Outside, Lydia talked with the Doctor as she gave him the coins they needed as the Doctor spoke.

"You his Mother?"

"... I will be... Any place to register in order to be his mother?"

She responds. She should've asked Nico originally, however, she wanted it to be a surprise. Deep down, she felt bad about what he told her. In the end, she thought of adopting him and taking him in as her own son.

Once again, hours passed as Nico continued looking out the window. Just then, the door to his room opened, the woman he knew as Lydia, came in and gave him a folder.

"I already paid it off. Didn't cost much so I still have some coins in my check."

Nico looked at her and then opened the folder.

Citizen Folder - Nico Kojo (古城 ニコ)

Parents – Miu Kojo (Mother; Deceased), Nobuyashi Kojo (Father)

Nico continued through all the papers in the folder then looked at the woman.

"Surprise."

"I... I don't deserve this..."

Nico was silent, he didn't know how to feel about this, he was afraid if he had her as his new parent, he would lose her. He remembered what his mother looked like as he then started to tear up. Lydia smiles and went to the side of the bed and hugged him.

"You're a strong kid, you know that?"

"Hey... Lydia.."

"?"

"Thank you... Thank you so much Mom..."

Nico held in his new guardian's hug. Sometimes, he felt lonely, not being able to talk to one of his own blood related parents. He hated his father which is why he doesn't talk with him. He was happy, someone actually took him in... He'll finally have someone to come home to, even if he is just in his late teens. Lydia smiles once more and rubs his head. Maybe she'll tell him about what she's done awhile back. Obviously, she needs to tell him about the power she has embedded into her. To sort of almost ruining the mood, she receives a message from Mario. After looking opening her phone, she closes it again.

"When you heal, go get your things. I have an extra room back at my place."

Lydia let's go of the hug and let's him keep the papers before leaving the room. Lydia passes by a girl who then ran into Nico's room, once she did, her loud voice was heard.

"Are you okay, Nico?! Are you?! You're worried me, you goofball!"

"Ahh! Wait! I'm still injured here!"

Lydia smiles, no need to check up on him as the girl is probably a friend of his. Inside the room, Aihara stop shaking him.

"It's my fault... I was the one who told you to go there..."

"... Hey... It's alright. You didn't know what was going to happen."

Kendo sees the folder he was holding on to.

"What's that?", she asks.

"Hm? Oh... This... Papers I'm proud of..."

He states with a smile as they get taken away by Aihara as she looks at them.

"Hey-!"

"... Did this actually happen?"

"Yeah... Lydia's a good person. She payed off the necessary amount to the hospital."

"I just think things are escalating too quickly...", Aihara responded.

"Haha... I'll be moving in with her actually. It'd be easier for the both of us."

Aihara sits down and smiles while looking at the folder. She closed it before standing back up.

"No need to be sulky about this! Not like we're not gonna see each other ever again! Plus, I still need to find that fifth book!"

She says as she points at the window with a grin. Nico's just happy she's back in her bubbly mood... Before realizing something, he opened the drawer, a nurse told him that his things were placed inside there. He digs through the drawer before taking out a bag and showing it to his childhood friend.

"No need, Aihara. I got you!"

She turns around as her eyes glistened and widened before taking it from his hands and holding it tight.

"The search is over! Ahaha! The search is over! No more everyday mall checking! Ehehehe!"

She squeals ecstatically as she opens the book and goes through the pages. Nico rests his head on one hand while looking at the excited female. Aihara proceeds to hug him so tight.

"Agh... Ai...hara...!"

"Oh, sorry! I'm just- thank you! I guess this is one good thing that came out from this..."

"Yeah. You can say that."

Over on Lydia's side, she was talking to Mario through the phone.

"So that's it huh?", she replied to one of Mario's comments.

"Yeah. Merlon-a says that we should talk to Merlee. She should-a have some idea on how to stop Dimentio."

"Gloom Valley is ways off isn't it?"

"Yeah, but it shouldn't-a take too long. Let's discuss this at the café shall-a we?"

"Whatever floats your boat."

She hung up. Why discuss it at the café? Probably because Debrie's always hungry. Lydia continues walking until she finally meets up with the plumber and girl in robes half an hour later as they enter the building. Once they took their seats, the plumber continued talking from where they left off over the phone as they waited for their food.

"As I was saying-a, Merlee should have an idea on how to stop Dimentio in getting more power. Though we need to be careful of going there... Who knows-a, we might run into some of his minions when we try to go to her mansion."

As soon as Mario finished his statement, a familiar green girl in a maid outfit came up to their table.

"You talking about Merlee's Mansion?"

The girl said as she was a few inches from touching the plumber's face. Mario jumped back in surprise.

"Woh! M-M-Mimi?!"

She stood up correctly after setting down their food.

Who else would know about Merlee's Mansion, you dolt."

"That-a last part wasn't necessary! Why are you here anyways-a?"

"I work here, Duh! Can't you see my wonderful maid outfit?"

She twirls around before winking.

"Can't believe they actually let someone like you work-a here..."

"What was that?!"

"Nothing-a."

Mimi huffs and crosses her arms as she left to get last food orders for the other people.

Lydia sighs as she then looks at the plumber.

"She a friend of yours?", Mario also sighs before responding.

"You could say that. She and-a I, along with some others, sort of-a have a history together."

Debrie takes a bite at her food and swallows it before speaking.

"What kind of history?"

"Well-a. She and a few of her own friends actually helped an enemy of ours-a. However, in the end, Dimentio used them all as if they were his puppets. Count Bleck, or rather... Lord Blumiere was the group's original leader. He and his allies came to our side so we could stop Dimentio. So we did. After his defeat-a though, he and a good friend of mine Tippi, or Lady Timpani, who was originally a human turned into a pixl, turned back into a human-a. She and Bleck left somewhere peaceful. Haven't seen-a much of them since then-a. Mimi, Nastasia and O'Chunks had a change of heart and became nicer people. Nastasia and O'Chunks-a being the other two members-a. That's what I meant by history."

"Sounds like it was a difficult journey.", States Lydia after she took a bite of her own food.

"It was-a. Also a rather... Interesting one... By the way, how have you been holding up, Lydia?"

"Pretty good. Able to control my powers for good. Helped people escape a building that was damaged by Bob-Omb's."

Oh yeah, that was-*nom*-on the news wasn't it?", Debrie responded to her statement.

"Yeah. Found an injured boy in the aftermath too. Took him to the hospital and actually paid the necessary amount."

"Don't the parents-a do that stuff?"

"... Kid told me his mother passed away and his father abandoned him as he didn't want to have any more issues. Probably grew up in an orphanage. I felt kinda bad for him... So I took him in as if he were my own son."

"Really?! Wow that-a was fast. (Maybe a little too fast-a…)"

"I couldn't help it, Mario. It felt like I had to..."

"Well-a... Least he has someone to go back home to."

"His name is Nico Kojo from what I saw on the papers."

"Nico… Kojo eh?"

Debrie, after finishing her own plate(s), speaks.

"Hey, you should introduce us to him some time!"

"I'll try. Once he heals, he's going to move into my home. There's an extra room there so."

The trio talked and talked until they left the café, Mimi waving good-bye to them. Of course, Mimi gave them a discount because they were allies. While walking, Lydia stopped, Mario and Debrie did too just to see what was wrong. She looked through her contacts.

"Damn it... I didn't ask for his number... I'll catch up to you two later!"

She states before running off. Debrie yells.

"Okay! Meet us at Merlon's place! We'll go from there!"

"Will do!", Lydia shouts from her distance. When she arrives at the hospital, she enters her son's assigned room, the girl and Nico still talking as she steps closer. Aihara closely looks at her.

"Hey... I know you! You're the person who took Nico in!... Right?"

"Huh? Yeah, I am. Hey, sweetheart, mind if you give me your phone number?", Lydia asks, turning to Nico.

"Oh right, I never gave you mine."

Nico took out his phone and gave it to Lydia. After a few minutes, she gives him back his cell and closes her own. The woman then looks at the girl next to her then at Nico.

"So... Is she your special somebody?"

She teases as they both shook their heads.

"Uh uh, we're not a couple."

Aihara sat down.

"Just best friends. Always has been that way since we first met. I'm Aihara Kendo, by the way. Nice to meet you!"

"Likewise, Aihara. Well, I have to get going. I only came here for one thing. Maybe we can chat some other time. Right now I have some business to deal with."

The woman says as she stepped out the room.

"You're right, Nico... She does seen pretty nice. That reminds me, I have to get going as well. Feel better soon okay?"

She smiles before also leaving the room. The girl would leave the building and head down the path to her own apartment. Along the way though, she is interrupted by another female. To Nico if he were here, it'd be someone familiar.

"...Kendo."

"I don't have time for your crap, Airi."

"Don't tell me you forgot our bet.", Airi tried reminding her. Her arms crossed.

"Oh, I haven't forgotten. I'm just busy with other things.", Aihara replies.

"What? Being with your boyfriend?"

"... Leave Nico out of this.", she clenched her fists.

"Need I remind you that you lost that deal."

"Yeah right. It was a tie at best."

"You know... you're reeally pissing me off. I'd suggest you stop acting all high and mighty thinking to yourself that you can overtop me.", Airi says with a glare.

"I'm not though. I'm just answering normally."

The two glare at each other. Airi then picks up a vending machine with ease. Her ability allows her to easily pick up heavy objects. "Atom Breaker" [原子波 (アトムブレイカー)].

"Then how about we have a Round 2 Huh?!"

Airi proceeds to throw the machine at Aihara. However, before she manages to use her own ability, a silver haired male steps in front of the pony-tail haired girl, takes his right hand out of his pocket and once the machine hits his palm, it shatters into pieces before they fall to the ground. Airi's expression changes to an angered one as the silver haired male spoke.

"Honestly, Airi. You really need to stop with this. You're not going to achieve anything."

"Why don't you stay the hell away from things that don't involve you, Kanzaki?"

"Oh I will... After you know when to stop being an ass to literally everyone around you."

"I can't believe I'm related to you."

"Neither can I. I'd suggest you stop bullying Aihara before you make things worse."

Airi turns around to walk away from the area, but not before punching a stop sign which bent it. Aihara sighs before speaking.

"I can't stand her... Can't believe I've been able to deal with her for this long. First time I've ever actually seen you use your ability by the way."

"I rarely use Break Out, Kendo. I don't want to use it. Especially after what happened years ago. I just don't want to cause harm to others like that day."

Break Out [壊す外側 (ブレイクアウト)], Kurushima Kanzaki's ability. It allows the user to shatter or destroy anything as shown with the vending machine. It can also break the bones of a human which is a reason why he always tries to avoid fighting anybody. Though, the ability works under the user's will. They can do it, or not.

Wind Rider [風大砲 (ウィンドライダー)], Aihara Kendo's ability. She, unlike Kanzaki of course, is only a Rank 4 Inducer. She's able to control the wind and can use it to blow the opponents away or pull them in so she can strike them with physical attacks.

Both Inducers walk together before Kanzaki asks.

"How's Kojo?

"Nico? Yeah, he's holding up fine. I don't know when he'll be able to leave the place though. Probably tomorrow, his injuries aren't that bad surprisingly."

"I see. That's good."

"Oh! He also got taken in by a woman named Lydia! Look at him! He has a mommy now!"

"That so? Heh, feel proud of him."

Aihara puts on a worried face and steps in front of the high ranked ally.

"Kanzaki? Is something wrong? You seem out of it..."

"... The Extraction Project..."

"The wha?"

"The Extraction Project. That's what's been on my mind. Walk with me and stay close."

He says as he steps in front of Aihara and continues walking, the girl following him and staying close.

"The project involves forcefully taking away an Inducer's abilities and you know the rumors of how painful it can be. I've been doing research on their team and see what they've done, it's not very pretty."

Kurushima gives his papers of the information he's gathered to the female, she gulps as she starts reading.

"Extraction Project - Project Exterior in other terms. Lead by Silva Arita, It is a project that forcefully steals the ability of an Inducer. Subjects have only a slim chance in actually surviving, that slim chance is only 0.01%. A special machine is used to extract the abilities of an Inducer specifically as it won't really harm someone who isn't considered an Inducer. People are chosen by random in order to extract their ability.

"The Project is underway, but it won't officially get set in motion until in approximately three to five days."

Aihara gave the information back to Kanzaki a bit frightened.

"That's what the project is about. They've got their people already taking some in."

He responds as he carefully looks around making sure nobody's watching them.

"I'd like it if you helped me in stopping it."

"What?! Me?!", Aihara exclaimed.

"Yes. It'd be a big help."

"But, Kanzaki! You're a Rank 7!"

"Doesn't mean I can't go around asking for help, Kendo. Please make sure to stay safe... We're probably being watched without us even knowing. I know someone who you can talk to about this. I'll text their address to you later, don't want to have people know where they live."

He states as he looks at a security camera before walking off. Aihara looks at the camera as well before also going her own path back to her dwelling. As she set her things on the table of her living room, she lays down, she doesn't want to bring Nico into this. He's already been hurt, not majorly, but still. She couldn't believe she was getting herself into this mess.


Inside a certain shack, in the middle of a valley, stood two figures. One with blue overalls, a green shirt and cap, the other with white hair, crazy classes and in a lab coat. The one in green stood still waiting.

"Luigi? You sure about this?"

"Of course! Ever since I found out about that-a project, I've always wanted to do something about it... It doesn't start for another few days-a so we have some time to prepare."

"Whatever you say, Green!"

Just then a knock is heard at the door of the shack.

"Who has business here in Evershade? More importantly, who has business here with us?"

The green plumber shrugged before he stepped closer to the door and set his hand on the doorknob.

"Can't-a be Mario, he's busy. Don't-a think it's the Princess-a either."

Luigi opens the door as he is greeted by Aihara, the girl with dark blue hair and a ponytails.

"Um... Are you Luigi?!"

She states as her eyes glistened, she was so excited to actually meet him in person

"Uh yeah! That's-a me! And who might you be?"

"I'm Aihara Kendo! Like... You're fan! All five books of your Super Luigi series! By the way, did that actually happen or-?!"

"Yeah yeah! It's-a true!... Hey, wait-a! How'd you know I was here?!"

"Well, I checked your mansion. You weren't there and so I then came here! Kanzaki told me!"

"K-Kanzaki?... Oh, him-a?"

"Told me he knew you!"

"Yeah. I know him-a, met him years back-a."

The professor in the back finished working as he came up to them.

"I'm Professor E. Gadd. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Likewise!"

"So... Exactly why are you here?"

Aihara looked down and then back up with a serious expression before responding.

"It's... It's about the Extraction Project."

The plumber and the professor look at each other and then back at Aihara.


Somewhere, someplace, at the same time, a male walked through the hallway of a building in a lab coat while passing by many others. He is part of the Extraction Project. Brown hair, it being a little spiky, brown eyes, khaki pants and a brown shirt under the lab coat. He has a sister as well however... Once he entered the testing room, that's who he saw being taken towards the machine

"W-What the hell?!", he exclaimed.

"Haruko-!"

"Janna!"

He tried running towards her, but was held back by other members as the others forcefully put her in the machine and locked it.

"What the hell is the meaning of this?!"

Just then, in came the head of the project, Silva Arita. Deep down, Haruko really hated him, always treated some of his crew like crap.

"Oh, we just needed a test subject... Our very first one. Who better than your sister?"

He stated as he stepped towards the machine and planted a devilish grin across his face.

"You son of- I'll kill you!"

"I'm just so scared of you right now haha..."

Silva gave the signal as the machine started up. Haruko attempted to break free, but still couldn't. A roar was heard throughout the room as Janna just gave up, she met eye to eye from a distance with her brother and smiled.

"I'm sorry..."

Seconds later the roar continued echoing as it finally stopped a few minutes after, Haruko stood frightened and only saw smoke inside the capsule, the silhouette of his sister's lifeless body. Without giving a warning, he screamed.

"NOOOOOO!"

The ones holding him back lessened their grip when the machine roared which caused him to break free easily. He took out his gun, a regular pistol, and aimed at Silva's leg, it hit which had him fall to the ground. Haruko quickly ran out of the room afterwards

"Get him! Don't let him escape! I don't want that bastard telling anyone about this experiment! Haruko Katsumi! You're a dead man!"

The director shouted. Most of the crew followed him as one set off an alarm and announced what had happened. Haruko, his gun in hand, continues running through the hallway, pushing crew members aside and taking sharp corners.

A woman about the same age and height as Haruko, was looking at her papers until Haruko ran towards her and took her by the hand.

"Eek!- Katsumi?!"

"Shut up and just hang on, Yuuko! I'll tell you later!"

Yuuko was the only person in the whole corporation who was actually kind to Katsumi. Others just either ignored him or attacked him for not having enough info ready for others. The female held on to his hand and caught up, crew members behind them chasing the duo as he shot his weapon. It took them awhile to finally exit the building as Haruko opened a floor panel and let Yuuko in first. Before getting in, Haruko looked at the security camera, on the other side was Arita who had an expression of a madman. A gunshot was heard, said gunshot broke the camera feed as the brown haired male entered and caught up to Yuuko.

Back at the command room, Silva formed a fist, punched the keyboard which completely destroyed it and also sent out sparks.

"You're a lucky man, Haruko. Taking someone out with you to... Next time we meet, you won't be so damn lucky…"

He stated before leaving the room while limping at the same time due to the wound on his leg.
