Chapter 14

"Phew, it's so good to return to home." Maki said leaving the small plane and stretching her arms.

"I would like to take a shower and rest for a whole day." Aki said after his friend.

"I'd like to do the same." Pavel said leaning on Aki. "By the way, Oleg Semenovich, when should we tell about the "The Third Law" to Igawa-sensei?"

"I think the best way to do it, when we give her our report."

"By the way sensei, what do you know about this organization?" Rinko asked the question that disturbed her during their way to the base. "It seems that you know some of its members."

"Well." he heavily sighed, "It's a criminal organization which was founded in our country." they stayed in a hangar where were a lot of planes and other air transports. "This organization has a big influence all over the world. It recruits hunters, scientist, politicians all over the world, if some of them don't want to cooperate with them they neutralize or work out their targets."

"But why they didn't finish us?" Sakura asked Oleg. "If they wanted they could deal with us."

"I would like to know this too!" they heard a sound voice behind them, they all turned their heads and saw two female hunters, one was in the blue tight suit and tanned and another one had white suit. It were Ren Ikenami and Murasaki Yatsu.

Ren saw battered condition of her friends and immediately came to Pavel and grabbed his collar, "What the hell! Why didn't you warn us about this organization?" Murasaki shouted at Russian hunter.

"Ren-chan, please." Aki tried to espouse Pavel's quarrel, but he was abruptly interrupted by the tanned huntress.

"Don't interfere, Aki! If they warned us earlier, we could prepare better and we wouldn't fail our mission!" She glared at her friend.

"Ren, I didn't want to do anything bad, but..." he coughed, and suddenly was interrupted by Oleg.

"Ren we had orders."

"Orders to bring difficulties to us?" this time Yatsu Murasaki boiled over. "Do you understand that not only we could go to the bad, but you too." but still she didn't show her emotions as Ren, but it was still noticeable.

"Orders are orders, and I had no permission to tell you about them until I got another order." Oleg said to Murasaki.

"Yatsu-sensei, Ren-chan, please wait!" Maki couldn't bear their quarrel, and decided not to be calm, "If Pavel wouldn't warn me I wouldn't be able to stand her."

"What do you mean?" Ren didn't understand what her friend meant.

"When we were fighting the enemies, I fell for fighting the enemy and didn't see her attack and if Pavel wouldn't warn me I would be sliced in two with her weapon, and that made Pavel to miss dinosaur's attack."

"The same thing was with us Rinko." the purple haired huntress decided to strengthen Maki's hand, who was speaking not confident. "When we met our opponents, Oleg-sensei gave us a command to retreat, as the opponents we met, were strong enough, but we declined his order and aided him to fight them." she made a brief pause, and then continued, "The man w I and Aki fought, had strange abilities, I could cut his arm off, but he merely attached it his body, and was able to move it like it was cut off at all."

"Muu-chan." Sakura turned to Murasaki, "I can prove Maki's words; she was really warned by Pavel and avoided a fatal attack. Personally, I don't think that we should be suspicious to them, if they wanted to kill or capture us they could do it without problems during our mission, but they didn't do this that means that we can trust them." Murasaki looked at the red head with impressed eyes; she couldn't believe that she could say something strong like this. Ren was impressed too, she didn't know what happened during their mission, but she was sure that it was the fault of these Russian persons, but when Maki, Aki and even Rinko and Sakura, protected them she wasn't sure that it is a good idea to blame them without evidences.

"Sensei, if you don't mind I'll bring Pavel to physicians." Aki said to younger Igawa. Sakura nodded and Aki went with Pavel who was still leaning on his hand.

"I ensure you Yatsu-san, that we're here not to harm you." Oleg tried to calm the woman with the axe. "During our report, I'll give information, about "The Third Law" and its members. I admit we that we don't know everything, but I'll give you as much information as we possess."

"I hope you'll tell us everything in detail." Murasaki decided to calm down and leave the Russian teacher for a while.

"And Ren." he turned to the tanned teen, "Don't be harsh with Pavel, I know he can be irritating and annoying, but he's a good person. If you ask him for a help he will try to do everything what is in his powers, and won't stop until it will be done." he smiled and then added, "And don't blame Pavel for what happened today, if you want to blame someone I think it should be me. He is my subordinate after all, and I gave him an order, which I was ordered by my superiors."

"Fine, I understand, there's no need to lay yourself out to explain me this, if you had orders, then it's another story. I'm just glad that my friends are all serene." she answered to her teacher. And left the hangar, Maki rushed after her trying to speak with her, but it was possible to see that Ren wasn't intend to talk right now.

"Don't worry about her." Sakura said to Oleg who sighed in relief, realizing that all troublesome hunters left him alone, even Rinko speeded off quickly after two friends. "She isn't a bad girl too. She is just overprotective, she as you say about Pavel, always tries to help too, but she is the very verse of Pavel. She always self-collected, she tries to seem elder in front of others, and she is a girl who can be relied, in other words."

"I heard somewhere that she tries to be like Asagi-san, didn't she?" Oleg asked just for himself rather he asked Sakura.

She nodded and referred, "Yes it's true. She works hard to be like sis. But still she is a kid who mustn't think about it and have as much activities as she can."

"It's quite interesting to hear such things from you." he was impressed Sakura's words. "It seems that children like you more than Yatsu-san, and now I understand why."

"Well, Muu-chan is stubborn person after all and also she is too strict with them. However she is a good person that's why we're good friends."

"Well, I think it's time to go and rest, tomorrow I'm sure I will catch it in the neck from your sister, that's why I must prepare myself for it." he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Don't get caught up." she gave him a slap by his back and said with her brand smile, "My sis, is serious, but still she is not as strict as Muu-chan!" Oleg smiled and then they left the hangar and went to rest.

Aki and Pavel reached the medical unit in the Head Quarters. They entered the room and saw a woman in white robe. She had acrid green hair she was wearing a blouse under her robe and on her legs it was possible to see black leggings she put one leg onto another. When they entered the room the woman turned away from her paper work and turned to young hunters. And when she turned to them they could see an adult woman with some wrinkles on her face. But she had glasses on her eyes and through them was possible to see her brown eyes.

"Oh Aki, long time no see, what brought you here?" the woman in the chair said happily.

"Ootani-san we need your help." Aki said to the woman still helping Pavel to stand on his legs.

"Aki I tell you that everything will be fine, I don't need a doctor." Pavel tried to persuade his friend from visiting medicals; it seems that Pavel didn't like them.

"Maybe it's something serious don't be a child, Pavel!" Aki was serious, and they came closer to the doctor. "My friend was damaged during our mission; could you give him a look over?"

"Ah, it's that new boy from Russia, isn't it?" Aki nodded, "He is quite handsome, have you got a girl friend?" she asked with cunning voice.

"Ootani-san, please it can wait just examine him." Aki said, it was easy to understand that he was worrying about his friend. "You can flirt with students later."

"You're always so serious Aki-kun." she playfully took umbrage at him and pouted, "That's why you still have no girlfriend."

"Ootani-san." he said with sighing.

"Yes, yes just lay him onto the bunk." she pointed at the near bunks.

When Aki laid Pavel onto the bunk, Pavel exhaled with relief and was able to relax. The woman came closer to him and started to examine Pavel's body. Her arms were investigated all parts of his torso and when she put her hands onto ribs under his chest Pavel gave strained sigh. "It seems that there's something with your chest, sweetie." she gave him a wink, "Did someone hit you there?"

"Yes I took a hit of demonic tail." he said panting as she still was pressuring onto the same place.

She sopped her pressures, but her hand still were under his chest, "Yes the problem is in your ribs." she took off her hands and came to the cabinet where were lots of tubes, ampoules, ampules and other medical stuff. She took two small jars one was white and one was yellow. She came to the lying hunter and said. "Take this." she gave him a drug, he looked carefully at them, but didn't have time to say anything as the doctor said first, "Don't worry I'm not going to lull you and do lots of interesting things while you're off." she smiled lecherously and slid with her finger from his chest till his stomach, "It's just an ordinary medicine which is used to restore bones, since some of your ribs not broken, but split there's no need for serious medical intervention." she said and turned away, to her table.

"And another jar?" Pavel asked with caution.

"Oh it's just vitamins. They will make your bones a bit more stronger." but then she playfully added. "Or they can do something another."

"Ootani-san, please be more serious. You're a doctor after all." Aki said disgruntled.

"I'm just a mere nurse not a doctor, so I can be less serious." she chuckled and continued to fill the papers on her table.

"Ren-chan, wait!" Ren heard a female voice behind her. And her hearing didn't fail her, it was her friend Maki. Ren stopped, and it was easy for Maki, to catch up her friend. She put her hands onto her kneels and cought her breath. When her breath came to normal, she continued, "Please don't mad at Pavel, he is not a bad person."

"How can you know it for sure? We've just met him, and you've already became friends. Isn't it too quick?"

"Yes I know that it's very strange that other country especially Russia, decided to make contacts with us. I admit it, but still I feel that he is not the one who can betray."

"Feelings always can betray, you must know for sure and instead of you and Aki, I'm treat with caution to him."

"Yes I know that you're a wary person. But I tell you the truth. If they wanted to betray us they did it during our mission. They had a lot of opportunities to do it there."

"What do you mean?" Ren asked her friend, "You've already told about this."

"Yes, but still I didn't tell you everything." Ikenami was surprised, and decided to lend her ear, "During our mission we had to deal with a bunch of demons, there were a lot of them, and we dealt with them without problems, but still it took pretty much time to illuminate them. And when we killed all demons we were attacked by, another three persons, one was human female, and it as I understood during my battle with her she is a hunter too. Sakura-sensei and Pavel were fighting two other opponents which were demons. As you told it was a red dinosaur which spitted fire from its maw." Maki saw that she remembers her fight with the demon, but kept silence and continued to listen to her friend. "Aki, Rinko and Oleg-sensei, were fighting in the other place, so they couldn't come and assist us. I haven't estimated my powers and was already on my limits, the girl I fought had powers of telekinesis she threw her spear at me I dodged it, and when I attacked her again..." she stopped to fetch her breath, "Pavel shouted and warned me, and if he wouldn't do it, I would be sliced on two." she gave a start from that thought. "And he didn't notice how the demon quickly stroke him with its tail, putting him out of the action. And when we were about to lose there appeared two other persons." Ikenami narrowed her eyes, but didn't say a single word. "They were a woman with the spear and the girl with guns. They helped us in our battle; the only thing that I remember is that the woman went to help the squad of Oleg-sensei. I want to say you that if they wanted to deal with us they could do this quickly, without any problems."

"So there was another squad?" Ikenami said calmly.

"Yes, but they left us when we finished the battle. I think they're friends of Oleg-sensei and Pavel."

"Thank you for information Maki, I'll think about it, but still I'm not sure that they can be trusted." Ren turned and left Maki standing in the corridor.

The morning changed the night, and the life started to awake in Gosha village again. Six persons were standing in the corridor of the school by the door of principle they were: Rinko Akiyama, Pavel Tarasov, Oleg Semenovich, Sakura Igawa, Murasaki Yatsu, Maki Sato, Aki Ito, and Ren Ikenami. All students were in their ordinary school uniform as the teachers were in their official cloths. Oleg came to Pavel who seemed to be better than several hours ago.

"You look better, what happened to you during the battle?" Oleg asked his student.

"Just some cracked ribs, don't worry the nurse treated me well." the boy said positively.

"Why should I worry about you?" the man asked sarcastically, "I know that your wounds heal over pretty fast. So there's no need to worry about you."

"Hey! At least you could show some sympathy at least!" the Russian hunter made descend upon his teacher, "Such callous person like you, will never be able to find a girlfriend, because…" he couldn't finish as he got a hit with a file that Oleg had in his hand. Pavel screwed his head with his hands as the file was pretty thick and firm. Almost all gave a smile and chuckles as they saw that Pavel was in good condition after their difficult.

"By the way sensei, what's in this file?" Rinko asked the teacher.

"The information about the ones we met yesterday." he merely said and watched at Yatsu Murasaki who merely turned her head away.

"So are these guys dangerous?" Sakura joined the conversation about their new enemies.

"I'll tell you everything during the report in order to not to tell it twice." he referred to younger Igawa.

"By the way sensei." Maki said a bit hesitating, "Why are we assisting too, I thought it would be better if elder and skillful hunters like will deal with this stuff."

"Because someday, you'll become professional hunters too, and you must assist during the report of your team and add something needed." Oleg said, before Murasaki could say anything, he noticed it but said nothing to her, because he saw that she was satisfied with his answer.

"Sorry if I kept you waiting." they heard a voice all of them turned and saw a handsome bluenette, with her white shirt and black skirt. Under her skirt she was wearing pantyhose with black heels.

"Tereshkov-sensei." she turned to the Russian teacher, "Is my office enough for you report?"

"No, Igawa-san." he replied, "I think it would be better to use conference room." he took out a USB out of his jacket and added, "I'll also will need a projector." and showed it to Asagi.

"Fine, follow me." she merely replied to him and gave them a sign to follow them.

After several minutes they were in a wide and big room. It had many desks which were standing in a circle in the middle of the hall and by the desks it was possible to see chairs. There also were several plants near the window. On the farthest wall was placed a white blackboard. And on the ceiling was fixed a projector. All took their places. Asagi took her place in the middle. Oleg took his place near with the laptop as he used to show the material for his report.

"First of all, Asagi-san." Oleg started while he was standing.

"It'll be fine if you call me just Asagi." she merely referred. "There's no need to use san."

"As you wish Asagi." he made a pause not to tell san in the end, "First of all, I want to ask your forgiveness for placing in jeopardy your hunters." he said and bowed to her, that act made everyone surprised, they didn't await something like it from the Russian teacher. "But still not to tell you about the criminal organization "The Third Law" wasn't my idea, it was the idea of our heads." he nodded at Pavel's side.

"So as I understand, your presence here is just a cover?" Asagi asked him.

"No. I and Pavel were assigned to build relations with Japanese hunters, as I told you during our first meeting. Two squads were sent in Japan by our supreme. One is to make contacts with you, another one to investigate the activity of "The Third Law"."

"So those two girls whom we saw were the second group, didn't they?" Sakura said to Oleg.

"Yes." he said but abruptly stopped, "Two girls?" he asked Sakura, trying to understand, that he heard it clearly.

"Yes it was the woman you were talking with, after the battle, and the other girl with guns." she continued.

"Ah you mean the person with guns." he smiled, "The girl with guns, is actually a boy."

"What!" several pupils exclaimed, Pavel was in their number.

"Yes it's a boy I thought you noticed it." then he heard how Asagi coughed, so he decided to continue, "Well, yes they are the ones who tries to investigated something about their activity in Japan. This criminal organization was born in our country about thirty years ago. Somehow we could reduce their presence in Russia to minimum."

"I would like to ask you Oleg." Asagi has interrupted him, "Why you government didn't warned us about this organization and that they could appear in Japan?"

"Our government couldn't do this because it afraid, that there're can be some loyalists of this organization among politicians."

"And what about you hunter organization?" Yatsu asked him seriously. "I think that they should warn us then."

"They did it. The second group which I've already mentioned took an order to deliver the information about this organization. And it was a luck that they found us in time." he said watching in Asagi's eyes. "We know that this organization placed it self somewhere on South America but still they don't maintain relations with UFS."

"What can you tell about them?"

"Well, they try to take part in all areas of life, criminality, policy and other stuff that brings money. It recruits and hires different people all over the world. This organization is famous in Russia with it multiculturalism." he turned on the laptop inserted his USB in it and with some clicks he turned on the projector, and it's screen appeared a face of the person with grey hair with emerald eyes, and glasses on his face. He had aristocratic face without any defect. Also he had a dangerous smile. "The first person is Etienne Richar." His name was written above his photo. "A French scientist."

"I've already heard this name." Asagi remarked.

"There's no doubt you heard it." Oleg admitted, "This person is well known among hunters too. He was a scientist who worked with demon technologies. He also worked with demonic organs, he transplanted them to humans." all those presents frowned they're eyes. "During his researches, several of his subjects, became mutants and were exterminated. His researches were banned; he tried to continue his research, but couldn't as all countries agree that his work is dangerous for humanity. And after all he's a creator of different aphrodisiacs and drugs which are uses among criminalities to torture their victims."

"Then why he didn't join other criminal organization?" Asagi asked, "Like Nomad for example."

"First of all, his researches are quite expensive, and not all organizations can spend their money for his work. Second, Etienne is a proud person, who does let to no one order him. His studies were independent and detached from other governments. So that's why he stopped his studies for a while. He advanced in his work perfectly, he could improve his body." he stopped as Rinko wanted to say something and he let her speak.

"Yes, Igawa-san." she turned to Asagi, "I cut off his hand and he merely fixed it back on its place." the principle frowned.

"Yes, it's quite difficult to compare him with ordinary human now. But still even he has a weak spot, and its ice."

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked him.

"It's enough to freeze his body and he won't be able to move. Once he lost his arm, when it was frozen and crushed after it. So he won't be able to recover himself."

"Understood." Sakura replied merry, that her question was answered.

He pressed a button and there appeared another man. He had brownish hair; his face features were soft, but not as soft as the previous one. It was possible to see that the man was well on in years. He had one yellow eye and another one was green. Murasaki and Ren tensed up. Ren decided to say this time.

"This is the person we encountered during our mission!" she said quite loudly.

"Wojciechwski Przemislav is a Polish psychiatric. The most interesting thing, that he wasn't a hunter of our country."

"But he fought like a real professional." Murasaki retorted.

"Yes his ability is rare in this world he uses mental powers." he replied to the woman with the robe and glasses on her eyes.

"How his skills work?" Asagi asked him.

"Well, let's take a situation. You were beaten and captured and you're unable to move. He touches your head and mentally enters it. He can read mind, if you're weak minded he can take you under his control. Also he can influence onto your subconscious, he can increase your power, stamina or make you weaker, instill to you that you're tired or give you a sense of pain."

"The same thing happened to us Yatsu-sensei." Re admitted, "When he touched us I felt like my muscles were in pain after a hard training." Murasaki answered nothing, but nodded.

"Sensei." Aki turned to the Russian teacher. "When the woman with the spear touched me and Rinko-san I felt like my body wasn't tired at all and we could fight without problems."

"Yes this woman has the mental power too, but she can use it like Wojciechwski."

"I'd like to know how mental power works." Asagi asked, taking a paper and pen which were near her, like she wanted to put down something.

"Well, it's a good question Asagi." he said her like a teacher to his student. "Mental power spreads onto three ways of using. First, creating blocks and barrages in minds. It allows withstanding the tortures which captured persons were put on the rack. It strengthens their will and power to resist to drugs and other stuff. Second." he bent his finger, "It allows penetrating human's mind, allows reading memories, changing them and bring them pain, tiredness or ecstasy. Whatever the user wishes." he stopped for a while.

"And the third way of using this ability?" Asagi asked him stopping her writing.

"The third way implies combining of these two abilities. The user can take abilities of the subject. He can study how to fight, play chess or even study a new language through this technic. But it demands a lot of power to do it, so they use this ability rarely, when it's really needed."

"And what about that woman with the spear?" the principle asked again, "Does she possess such power?"

"No she doesn't, however she is good in installing barrages in minds and they're not so easy to break or penetrate." he said with some proud notes in his voice like he was proud for her.

"What he can do in this organization then?" Murasaki asked again.

"I don't know he rarely joins battles. So it's a good question."

He pressed the button again, and there appeared a person with dark green eyes the same brownish hair, and some scars on his face. Oleg squeezed his fist tightly for a second when he saw this photo. The only one who noticed it was Asagi Igawa, but didn't say a word.

"Well this one is Anatoly Vlasov or you can use his nickname Archon." the teacher said like in the same way with like he was telling before. "He uses mental powers too. But he is good in penetrating minds he can create false memories, and the other things I already mentioned." He sighed heavily but continued, "He is a traitor of our country. We don't know his real intentions in doing this, but still he betrayed us about 15 years ago, while "The Third Law" was still separating in Russia. He uses clewed gloves as his weapon, always works with Etienne Richar."

He pressed the button again, and there appeared a person in a hood and a cloak. His face was fully covered with his hood and it was impossible even to try make out his face.

"Mystic. We have no information about him. We only know that he uses wind ability. He can use teleportation using his wind too."

"There are pretty much other members of this organization, it would be better to you to stud them personally, Asagi."

"Thank you for giving us information about this organization, I'll send their dossiers to all hunters, who are skillful enough to deal with them, if you don't mind."

"I would say that it's a smart decision." he said giving her a smile.

"Oleg Semenovich, you can sit down." he sat onto his chair and she asked another question, "What with your missions? Sakura I heard that there was a small earthquake in the place you used to smooth out."

"Yes we there was an earthquake, but still we don't know what caused it. As it was told, we found a big congestion of demon in the ruins of that factory, but we couldn't investigate a single demon as the last one was killed by the members of this organization. By the way Oleg, I wanted to ask you from the moment you started to tell about this organization, who were these two demons and the other girl with the spear?"

"Demons? Try to describe them please."

"One was a red dinosaur with sharpen teeth. He has a massive tail and as his weapon was steel claws except his own claw and also was spitting with fire. Another one was a horse with wings; he was wearing a metal armor and was using wind abilities."

"It's not a horse it a Pegasus, just another kind of demons, usually as their element is wind." he added Sakura's speech. "But still, I don't know who they are."

"And also there was a girl with pink hair. Her weapon was a spear, and her power is…" she stumbled for a second; Maki understood that her teacher could not to notice her power.

"This girl had a power of telekinesis, she manipulated her spear like she wanted and it was difficult to fight her."

"Liza Prokofieva." he merely answered, "It seems that she was brainwashed. We knew that she had disappeared, but still we didn't know what happened to her. The brain washing could be the work of Archon." the last sentence was said rather to himself but the other.

"It seems that you know this person quite close." Yatsu said to her Russian colleague.

"Closer, than wanted." he admitted with a smile, but it wasn't happy, "But still this earthquake can be the work of this organization. I'm sure." he stated.

"Very well!" Asagi declared, "I will deliver this information to our heads. I think the information about this organization, shouldn't be told to students for now, as all veteran hunters will be informed about it. Rinko." the principle looked at the girl with purple hair and big breast. "It means that Tatsurou and Yukikaze must know nothing about our conversation."

"I understand Igawa-sensei!" she reported.

"Good, about you two." then she turned to two Russian persons, "I think our cooperated work will be productive and prospering, I think that our countries will build good relation." she stopped but then added, "And welcome to the team." she gave them a smile and left the room.

When she Igawa Asagi left the room almost all exhaled with a relief, Oleg was in the numbers who did it.

"And you were afraid that my sister will be angry." Sakura said coming to the Russians putting her hands onto their shoulders. "As I thought everything was perfect."

"Well in any case I'm entirely to blame that I hadn't informed you about this organization, so if you want to punish me then I'll accept it." he said to everyone who left in the conference hall.

"Don't think about it." Sakura started to hit with her hand his back, "You said that it was an order not to tell, we all understand that orders must be followed so there's absolutely no problems about, am I right, Muu-chan?" she looked at Murasaki.

"If you had orders, then I think there's nothing to worry about so I don't mad at you." she said to Oleg, but then added, "However, I hope that there will be no secrets between us."

All agreed that Oleg and Pavel weren't guilty of the happened accident. They tacked for a little, but then decided to do their work. Asagi who was standing behind the door was glad that everything was fine, and all could forgive, those two. When she was sure that everything is alright she decided to leave the corridor.
