"And don't come out until you're finished wiping that!" Theodora yelled, slamming the door and leaving Jack Rakan in the dirty room with a bucket and a mop.
Needless to say, she wasn't pleased that Rakan had suddenly appeared in her room in the early morning.
"I wonder why this is happening to me," Rakan muttered, ignoring the cleaning supplies. He knelt on the ground and looked at his torso. The scratches that the small bear had inflicted on him were still there, the scars showing evidence of the damage.
"Maybe it has to do with my magic?" He wondered. "What happens if I try this?"
Jack Rakan stood up and breathed in slowly. A soft light surrounded him as he began to power his magic. He felt a little different, as if something within him wanted to get free.
"Almost….there…" Rakan began to feel more pressure on his shoulders.
Ki.
Magic.
When these two came together, a technique like Kanka is used. Rakan didn't specialize in this unlike Gateau or Takahata, but he knew how to balance out the two energies.
However, this time, he felt his control slipping away.
The mercenary felt a bead of sweat drip down his brow. Suddenly, he sensed a change around him.
A rush of wind.
The blaring sound of a horn.
People walking.
Something approaching from behind?
Rakan turned to see a large metal vehicle headed straight for him. Upon closer inspection, the person behind the glass was startled, swinging his arms.
The vehicle suddenly swerved around him, falling to it side and sliding towards his left.
"Well, this is rather different," Rakan moved quickly, putting himself between the vehicle and the citizens that would've been crushed by it. Using a single hand, he stopped it from moving in an instant.
Rakan looked up at the sky. The blue sky and clouds appeared to be the same as the one on Earth, where Negi lived.
"Lots of technology, huh," Rakan scanned his surroundings, noticing the gray streets, tall buildings, and more metal vehicles of different sizes.
"Sir, are you alright?"
He turned his head and looked down. Most other people weren't as tall as he was. Then again, most people weren't Jack Rakan.
A girl wearing a school uniform met his gaze. She used two red ribbons to have a twin tailed look, and she wore a green armband on her right arm.
She seemed on edge, but Rakan didn't understand why, the problem was taken of right?
"Ah, I'm alright chibi, but I think you should check up on that person in the metal vehicle," Rakan laughed. "A simple thing like that can't stop me!"
"I already have some people working on that," She replied, pointing out the people lifting the man onto a stretcher. "Thank you for your help, even though it was unexpected, but a lot more casualties were avoided. Ah, my name is Shirai Kuroko of Judgement."
Rakan noticed the crowd growing larger. They must be really interested in this Jack Rakan here.
"Still, as a protocol, you know that we have to take you in for questioning," She said, motioning over towards another metal vehicle.
"Why? I did nothing wrong," He replied, scratching his head in thought.
"Sir, we would like you to cooperate with us, as you're drawing attention…"
Rakan was disappointed. He wanted someone to fight, not an altercation with the chibi-police brigade!
"I'll just show myself out. Later!" Rakan disappeared from view.
Kuroko was shocked, but she quickly took her phone out and dialed a number. "There's an unregistered esper with teleportation powers! He's a large dark-skinned man. You can't miss him!"
