Hello everybody! It's time for chapter 2.

First I would like to thank you to wargman for being the very first person to review my story.

Second congratulations to Fire lord 626 who guessed that the M stands for -. (I decided I shouldn't include spoilers) ^_^

Now time for the story to continue!

Chapter 2

A New Classmate

Snipe Department Shooting Range

I had decided to test one of the bullets with no colored band first. I loaded the bullet and aimed at my target more than two thousand meters away. The target was three inches of thick steel and man shaped. I aligned the crosshairs onto the center of the head and pulled the trigger. To my utter amazement there was barely any recoil and the rifle was practically soundless. I went to see how close to my target the bullet was and yet again to my amazement the bullet had gone clear through the three inch steel and almost clear through the wall behind the target.

The bullet with the icy blue band was next. It was still freezing cold to the touch and I actually felt afraid that it would freeze the inner mechanisms of the gun. But I loaded it anyway. As I once again loaded the gun and realigned the crosshairs I noticed that the bullets without the colored bands didn't seem to return to the bag… I could probably get someone from Inquesta to drill it out or something. As I then pulled the trigger, I felt a chill in my stomach as I heard the whisper of the bullet leaving the barrel. I couldn't help but close my eyes. And when I opened my eyes I gasped, the entire target and about five feet around the target was all encased in ice. As with anyone else in this situation I was completely at a loss as to what to do with all this ice.

So in the end, I moved over to the next range and loaded the bullet with the red band into the cartridge. Because of the destruction of the previous bullets, I feared the worst. Like the last bullet it still had the same feeling with it. It still burned to the touch. This time, as I loaded the bullet, I was happy to see that the icy blue banded bullet was back in the bag. Then, when I pulled the trigger there was actually quite a bit of recoil this time which I hadn't been expecting at all so I almost dropped the rifle. Not only was there a lot of recoil, but also the sound barrier practically exploded and the sound was deafening. And of course the power of the bullet was much stronger than I had anticipated. The target, an estimated ten to twenty feet range, was utterly incinerated.

I wondered what to tell my instructor about the ruined range, but I guess I could worry about that after I had retrieved the bullet from three feet into the wall.

Classroom A-113

"Alright students please pay attention. Today we have a new student joining us." Our teacher Miss Yutori Takamagahara announced. "Alright then, Mr. Takata could you please come in now." As soon as she said that a young man who looked to be sixteen walked in. He had snow white hair, sharp golden eyes, and strange black scars on his face. One scar covered his right eye while three that looked to be claw marks covered his left cheek. He looked about five foot ten, with a slim yet masculine build. His school uniform was also strange, instead of the standard maroon color scheme; it was a pure midnight black with a golden trim that matched his eyes. There was also a chain around his neck that seemed to lead to some kind of pendent but it was under his shirt. Another interesting thing that I noticed was that there didn't seem to be any kind of weaponry with him, which was of course against school regulations. Now then Mr. Takata would you please be so kind as to introduce yourself.

"Hello my name is Tatsu M. Takata pleased to meet you all." He said this while looking out at the class, though I could feel his eyes settle on me. It made me shiver, I wanted to meet his eyes to show that I'm not someone to mess with, but I couldn't. He smiled.

"Well Tatsu why don't you take the empty seat in the back behind Reki back there." Ms. Takamagahara gestured to the only empty seat right behind me. He began to walk over to the seat when one of the largest students in the class stood up and shouted.

"What makes you so special? How come you get a customized uniform? And where the hell is your wea-." Before he could finish his sentence he collapsed. He was knocked out cold from a single punch. Tatsu was standing over him; he turned and walked over to his new desk. The entire class was silent, even Aria was wide-eyed and speechless. No one had seen Tatsu deliver the blow, let alone move.

"Ehem… Well then class shall we begin our lesson. Oh, Mr. Tohyama could you please take Mr. Daino to the Medica Office." Kinji wordlessly stood up and began to drag Vega Daino out of the room. I looked around at the class and recognized various looks in my fellow classmates' faces. Riko obviously wanted to have some fun as usual and Aria looked like she had just gotten a new slave. I started to feel bad for the new student…

14:00

Outside Courtyard

Kinji brought out his phone to check a new message, probably from Shirayuki again. After reading it his eyes widened and he dropped his phone though Aria caught it and the same thing happened again but I was the one who caught it this time. It was a pretty simple message and I was right, it was from Shirayuki. The subject said "URGENT." The message read: "Hey Kinji, Do you think people can come back from the dead, because for some strange reason Professor Sayanaki is back and teaching again." I could understand why Kinji and Aria were a little freaked out, since they had to do battle against him as Vlad and they barely won. But we had all been present when he had been executed. His was a very brutal death, he was full of bullets. In the end he had resembled Swiss cheese.

"Come on, let Riko see the message!" Riko was still using her annoying habit of speaking in the third person while whining about wanting to see the phone.

"Sorry Riko but I don't think you should see this message." Kinji said carefully, which of course only made her want to see the message even more so she resolved to jump at Kinji in a mad attempt to see the message. She easily jumped onto his shoulders and began to bash her tiny fists upon his head. "Ow! Riko get off!" At this Riko rebuffed her efforts and Kinji raised his arms to shield his head… with his phone still in his hand, thus giving Riko the exact thing that she wanted. She quickly grabbed the phone and leapt from his shoulders before Kinji could realize that his phone was still in his hand.

Upon opening the phone and reading the message Riko screamed and threw the phone at the wall, effectively destroying the phone but not the truth behind the message. In her childhood Riko had been adopted by someone who claimed to be a member of her family but in reality was Tooru Sayanaki also known as the King of vampires, Vlad. Her childhood was a torturous one. She was barely fed and kept in a dungeon to be an experiment in Vlads Genetic Research. She was scarred for life and was at one point able to escape only to be recaptured. Eventually she made a bargain with him that required her to surpass her ancestor Arsene Lupin the Phantom Thief. She tricked Kinji and Aria to help her steal something from Vlad and then betrayed them saying that to surpass her ancestor she had to defeat the descendent of Sherlock Holmes and her partner. So in this case Aria and her partner Kinji. Before she could attack them Sayanaki appeared and summoned Vlad, thus causing Riko, Aria, and Kinji to work together to defeat and arrest Vlad. They were victorious after a long battle and eventually Vlad was sent to trial and given the death sentence and then buried in an unmarked grave on Hashima.

At this point Ms. Takamagahara over to us looking extremely scared. "Ms. Kanzaki, Ms. Reki as Rank-S Butei you two are going to be the observers for the new student's examination today." Unlike earlier she seemed truly frightened by something, and naturally Aria was curious to see what could truly frighten a master Butei.

"What's gotten you so spooked?" Aria teased her teacher. (Meanwhile Riko was still screaming in terror and had once again jumped onto Kinji only this time she was seeking protection). Ms. Takamagahara merely pointed towards the testing hall. She was stuttering and said "His opponent… It's Professor Sayanaki…"
