Chapter 9
"Cóż, jak mam to zrobić1?" the man in the black costume said in Polish sitting in front of the copybook, also tapping with a pen easily.
"What are you thinking about." the young person came to the man who was sitting on the floor.
"Ah, to ty2." the man raised his head and saw the boy around twenty years old he had blue hair, he had yellow eyes and orange body suit, which consisted of tank top and shorts, on his legs he had metal boots, however he hadn't got his metal gloves on his hands. "Well, I decided to myśleć3… to think of something." the Polish psychiatric said to the person.
"And what are you thinking about?" the blue haired asked Wojciechowski sitting onto the chair near with him, putting his hands onto the back of the chair and his chin onto his hands.
"Well, I just try to understand how to use mental abilities to improve of personal qualities." the psychiatric pronounced the sentence slowly, in order to not to make reservations on his language.
"What do you mean?" the teen didn't understand.
"Mam na myśli4…" the man stopped for a second, but then continued, "Well, I mean that I want to know how to use my mental abilities on myself."
"I thought that you told that it's impossible." the blue haired person was amused with what he had heard now.
"Sometimes it's important to łam własne teorie5." Wojciechowski said putting down something into his copybook.
"What?" the teen asked him again.
"Sorry, I mean that it's important to all scientists…" he made a brief pause and then continued; "To break their theories." he took off the pen from the copybook and turned his head to his interlocutor, "Only this drive progress."
"Like always, even during our break you find the time for work." the blue haired boy raised his head to the ceiling.
"By the way." the Polish suddenly turned to the boy in orange suit. "Czy coś się stało6?" the Polish stopped again and then asked the boy again, "Have something good happened?"
"Why do you think so?" the boy asked Wojciechowski.
"Hm." the man gave a hum of approbation, "You always ask lots of questions when you have good mood or everything goes good."
"Really? I've never noticed that." the boy was surprised with such information.
"So?" the man asked again the blue haired.
"Honestly I have some good news." the boy started, "Do you remember I told you about my sister?"
"Tol lol." the man simply referred.
"I received information, that doctors can perform surgery on her, and her illness will decrease for seventy percent." the boy said rejoiced, the psychiatric could easily notice it.
"Well, it's zdecydowanie7… I mean it's good news." Wojciechowski referred, by the way are you going to…" he stopped himself in order not to make a reservation, "Visit her?"
"Yes, I think as this mission will be done I'm going to visit her. She is a bit afraid of the operation, so I hope I'll try to convince her to do it."
"Then I wish you good luck, partner." the psychiatric said, and turned his eyes to his copybook, but suddenly asked the boy having his eyes glued to the copybook, "How was the fight with those hunters to you?" he decided to pronounce the sentence slowly again.
"You mean those two? Or the man Mystic fought later?" the boy wanted to defy more exactly, what Wojciechowski wanted to know.
"Two kids you were fighting before I came."
"Well they were pretty strong. It would be easier for me to fight them one by one." the boy suggested, "If we fought like this they had no chance to fight me."
"I see." the man wanted to say something else but wasn't able to do it, "As he saw the man in the cloak and hood who has just entered the room.
"Resting?" Mystic merely asked both of them.
"As you see." the boy referred, "Have something happened?"
"Yes I have got some news for you." the man said and noticed that the boy was watching at him and even Wojciechowski broken away from his copybook, the man found that he can continue now, "First of all I'm going to Tokyo for brief period of time."
"Jeden z8… Has one of the seals been exposed itself?" the psychiatric asked the hooded person.
"I don't know, but it seems so." he answered him.
"Who will be here instead of you?" this time the boy decided to ask the person.
"I think that Etienne will take my place here."
"Please, could it be someone else, but not this French freak?" the boy pleaded rather than asked.
"You still can't come to an understanding with him, can you?" the person asked the blue haired boy.
"I just hate when he tells that he want to experimentalize over me." the boy trembled when some memories started to come to his head.
"Well, then I'd like… to ask you." the Polish decided to ask Mystic, he nodded and Wojciechowski added, "What our mission is now?"
"Good question." Mystic admitted, "First thing is still capturing of Yatsu Kuro." he looked at his subordinates, he understood that they knew that it's not all, "The second thing, as I understood you can be send on kidnapping."
"Kidnapping." the boy muttered.
"Czemu9… Why do they want to send us?" the Polish asked Mystic, "I thought they have enough facilities and other surowce10… resources."
"Well, it's not settled yet, but I think they will send you for this mission."
"Can we reject it?" the boy asked the person in the hood, "You know that I really hate to do this kidnapping work."
"This time is another, I'm afraid that you won't be able to deny this mission." the man stopped, but then added, "Well as I remember you wanted to visit your sister?"
"What? How did you know this?" the blue haired boy was amused.
"My work is to know everything about my subordinates too." Mystic crossed his hand on his chest. "And when this mission is over I think you can visit her if you want."
"Well then we must find this bald hunter much faster!" the boy got up from the chair catching alight, the chair has been hardly fallen.
"Nie spiesz się11." the Polish said, "If he works in a group now, it will be more difficult to defeat him."
"Maybe this French freak could help us?" the boy wilted a bit.
"I told you everything I wanted to tell you." Mystic turned to the door and then was about to left the room.
'Well it seems that we must change our strategy after all.' Wojciechowski thought, 'However it would be better to do during the mission.' he closed his eyes and started to focus on something, the boy decided not to disturb the psychiatric, and too k the book form the table which was near with the chair he was sitting and started to read it.
It was the morning and all young hunters were slowly going to their lessons at the Gosha Academy. Some students were talking about something with their friends, some of them were fixing their eyes on their notes in their copybooks and books, and another part was yawning and boiling over because they have to study in the morning. But one student was standing by the doors of the Academy, likewise waiting of something or someone. This student was the girl with pretty long and curly brown hair. The girl was wearing the Academy uniform. It was Andou Masami. By her face expression it was possible to see that she was frown. It seemed that she was thinking about something, or maybe just waiting, or both at the same time. She raised her head and opened her eyes, she saw a big number of students, she looked at them with sad eyes, and likewise she wanted to go in the same crowd talking with somebody. Suddenly she noticed a boy of medium height with dark hair, he was wearing the same uniform, but instead of her he had make uniform. The boy yawned like he hadn't got enough time sleep, the boy hadn't got the same features as other students had, and he wasn't the same with all other Japanese.
When the students came to the doors he was suddenly called by Masami, "Potapov… Pavel, can I talk with you?"
The boy stopped by the door and turned his head to the girl, "Ah Masami." the boy said as he saw his classmate. "Did you want something?"
"Let's move away for a bit." she said not quietly, she turned away from the door and started to move slowly, Pavel quickly overtook her and started to think.
'Is she going to talk about what happened in the sick-room?' when they were on a good distance the students won't be able to hear their talk she said.
"Well, I think you remember, what happened in the sick-room yesterday." she started from the thing Pavel thought a moment ago.
'Man what should I answer?' the Russian boy thought not knowing how to answer on her question, "Well I…" he started to answered, however he wasn't able to finish it, as the girl quickly interrupted him.
"Please forget about it."
"What?" the boy didn't understand.
"And especially, I want you to tell no one about it." then she bypassed him and went to the doors of the Academy.
"What just has happened?" Pavel was confused and surprised with such dialogue, but then he rushed to the doors of the Academy, as the lessons were about to start.
Pavel quickly reached the class where was the first lesson. When he entered the room he saw many desks which were made for two people. The desks had sinks in the middle of them; on the wall it was possible to see a big periodic tablet. It was the class of chemistry. The teacher was sitting at the teacher's table and was writing something in her journal as the lesson hasn't started yet, the teacher had short black hair, her dark green eyes were similar to green leaves on trees. But the most distinctive thing in her was her scar on her right cheek. She had a white skirt and grey skirt she also had a white robe on her. Pavel got to the class just in time; he noticed that several places were free. He glanced over the class and saw that only Ren was sitting alone he decided to come to her.
"Hi Ren!" the boy greeted her also waving with his hand.
"Hi." she merely responded turning her head to the window.
"Is Ogawa absent today?"
"Yes, so what?" Ren turned to him with a questioning expression.
"Can I sit with you today?" the boy tried to hide his worrying, "It seems that my partner is not here today." she looked at his place and noticed that Pavel's neighbor wasn't here too.
"Okay, I think nothing bad will happen." she referred; Pavel thanked her and sat onto the place.
As he sat he looked at the girl he talked not long ago she was sitting with her partner, but they were sitting in silence. But then all of the students heard the teacher's voice.
"Okay, boys and girls the lesson is started has everyone arrived?" she looked at the class, and started to read the surnames of the students she didn't read only four surnames and among them were Ogawa, Ito and Sato. Ren raised her hand and when the teacher allowed she said.
"Hagivara-sensei." she started, "Aki and Ito are on the mission, and Ogawa was called by Igawa-sensei. But I don't know where's Kondo." she said and sat down.
"Well then Kondo-kun will take absence." she made a note in the journal and put the pen onto the table. "Okay who is ready to answer the homework now?" she asked the class, but no one wanted to do it. "Well if no one want's to do it then it will be Potapov-kun." she said looking at the Russian boy.
Pavel got up and started to answer the homework the teacher gave them.
While the students had their lessons Oleg Semenovich was sitting in the teacher room all alone thinking about something whirling a pen in his hand. He was wearing his black official suit. His fair hair was set. He had an opened notebook, but the page he was looking at was empty.
'I think that Pavel can know something about her.' he put the pen onto the desk and leaned back on the table. 'Nothing constructional comes onto the mind. If only Maria was here, maybe she could see something in her.' he thought and then the woman with long and red hair came into his mind. "What are you doing now?" the man asked himself.
"Who is doing what?" he heard the voice behind him and quickly turned to the voice, however this turn wasn't good as Oleg strongly touched the desk with his knee.
"Darn!" he rapped out an oath.
"Did you hurt yourself?" the woman got closer to him.
"Uh, no it's nothing, don't worry about it." he turned his head and saw a woman with long white hair, she was wearing a dark blue shirt with white skirt. She had pretty high heels. "By the way how are you Hirata-sensei?"
"I'm fine thank you. Tereshkov-sensei." she answered with a smile and sat next to him.
"I thought that you have no lessons today." she said with to her colleague putting the bag she was holding in her hand onto the desk.
"Yeah, I have no them today." the referred straight, "But still I some unexpected work today, he merely added.
"I see." the woman said, but then continued, "By the way I hadn't got a chance to thank you."
"For what?" Oleg didn't understand, for what he should be thanked.
"For helping me to get to my home." she said with a blush on her face, "I think I got some troubles to you, didn't I?"
"Ah!" Oleg exclaimed, "You mean the time at the restaurant, there's no need to worry about it. It was a pleasure for me to help such beautiful lady to get her home." he saw that she blushed more than before.
"Don't lie; I know that I can be tiresome when I'm drunk." she stopped and then asked him, "By the way may, I know why are you at Academy today if you have no lessons today?"
"Well, how should I start?" Oleg Semenovich pondered for a while, 'Maybe Hirata-sensei, knows something.', however he decided to ask her, "I would like to ask you about something, don't you mind?"
"No not at all." by her voice it was easy to understand that she agree to answer all his questions, "I'll try to answer everything you ask."
"I would like to talk about the student, Andou Masami." he said looking in her eyes.
"Oh, you want to talk about her." the voice of the woman became lower.
"Has she any problems?" he asked again.
"Why do you ask this?" the woman asked the man in answer.
"We had a practice combat, and I suddenly made a gash to her. She cried all of a sudden, but before this Sakura… I mean Igawa-sensei told me to be a bit easier on her." he stopped and decided to ask her again, "Maybe, you know something about it?"
"Honestly." the teacher started, "I know a little about her." Chikeko said thinking about something, "No, I didn't mean that I know her badly, I just want to say that she wasn't always so."
"What do you mean?" the teacher was intrigued with his colleague's words.
"She was an ordinary girl, who had lots of friends; she also did the missions she received successfully."
"It seems that you know her well."
"She was a member in musical club I'm in charge and she was our star." she said with sad voice Oleg wanted to ask something, but decided not to interrupt Chikeko, "But everything changed about eight months ago. She started to become more and more closed. As I noticed she closed herself from the other people too, she always prefers to be alone. Sometimes she comes to my class and plays sad music."
"How much is it sad?" Oleg decided to ask.
"Honestly I can't bear it and leave the class." she said sadder, "I would like to know what happened with her."
"You said that she became so eight months ago, maybe you remember what could happen?"
"I don't remember it perfectly, however…" she tensed up, "She received a mission, but I don't remember what it was about."
Suddenly both of them heard a strange noise which was similar to abdominal murmur.
"It must be me." Oleg Semenovich said to his colleague, "I haven't eaten even a crumb."
"There's no need to worry about it." she took out two boxes of her bag and stretched one of them to the Russian teacher. Oleg opened the box and saw food in it.
"Is it really fine to me to it?"
"I sad already that there's no need to worry about." the woman repeated again, "It's my gratitude for helping you to bring me to my place."
"Well if you say so." Oleg accepted the fork the teacher gave him and did a bite of the food which was in the box, "Wow, this is delicious." he said amused, "Did you cook it by yourself?"
"Yes I just cooked too much today and thought to give it to someone else." she put some food into her moth too and when she swallowed it and then added, "But it's good that it was you who received it."
"Well, if you cook something more than needed, I'll always eat it with pleasure." Oleg Semenovich said having another bite of Chikeko's food.
"Got it." she smiled to him in answer.
While they were eating they were talking about different things, Oleg Semenovich told her about the work of demon hunters in Russia and she told him a bit of the same work in Japan. They also talked about themselves, their hobbies, things they like and dislike and etc. But when the first lesson was about to end she said him that she must prepare for her lesson. She got up from the chair and said him goodbye.
"By the way." she suddenly turned her head, when she was about to leave the teacher's room, "I think we can go somewhere again… Well you know just the two of us." she said the second part with a bit lowered voice.
"Are you trying to invite me on a date?" Oleg said surprised, this question amused him quietly well.
"Frankly speaking." she started, "I don't mind if it will be a date." she said and closed the door after herself.
"What an interesting woman." he said aloud to himself, "Well, what they have now? Chemistry."
He slowly went to the class of chemistry, thinking about what he could know about the student he fought recently. 'So she changed eight months ago. Before this she was an ordinary girl who had friends and was sociable, but now she is closed, and depressive.' he put his finger on his chin, 'It happened after the mission, maybe something happened during this mission and she became like that?' he stopped to think for a while, but then concluded, 'Well it's my suggestions, of course the best idea to ask her straight, but somehow I don't think that it's the best idea.'
He came to the Chemistry class when the bell was rung. The door was opened and the crowd of students went out into the corridor. He started to wait until the need student comes out, and after several seconds he noticed her and called her.
"Andou!" she turned her head and saw the fair haired teacher. "Could I have a talk with you?" she came to her as he said it, she nodded indecisively, "Don't mind if we have it in my class?" he noticed that the girl tensed up, but answered to him calmly.
"If you want so."
They went to the class of Oleg Semenovich in perfect silence. None of them breathe a word. This atmosphere was against the hair to Russian teacher, but still he decided to talk with her in his class. Finally they reached the class, Oleg Semenovich opened the door with his key and let the girl to enter the office first, and then he closed the door. He sat at his table and she did the same at but at the desk which was near with his.
"Well, Andou, how do you think why did I called you?" the man asked the student, but she said nothing, so he decided to continue, "I would like to talk with you about what happened at the practice lesson." when Masami heard this she squeezed her palms, however Oleg Semenovich couldn't see this as her lower part was closed with the desk.
"There's no need to worry about it sensei." she said calmly.
"Maybe there's something you want to tell me?" he asked her, "I will hear everything out and maybe somehow I'll help you, or maybe even we can help you."
"Sensei, I've already told you, there's nothing to worry about."
Oleg Semenovich stopped for a second trying to find a right thing to say, he didn't want to turn this girl against him, so he decided to be more delicate.
"But I think that your friends are worrying about you…" he wanted to add something else, but she interrupted him.
"I have no…" she quickly stopped, but then added, "They don't worry about it."
'Did she want to say that she has no friends?' the Russian teacher frowned.
"May I go sensei?" then she raised her head and smiled to him, "There's absolutely nothing to worry about." however this smile shocked Oleg Semenovich, the girl tried to smile happily, but he could a strong pain and despair in it. He didn't know what to do; he decided to let the girl go as she didn't want to say even a word to him.
As the girl left the class, he was about to leave it too. However he heard a slight knock at the door, "Come in!" he responded, he turned his head to the door and saw Pavel who was opening the door.
"Did you find out something?" the Russian boy asked his teacher.
"No, I don't think that she will tell me anything, however, I found some information about her."
"Really what it's about?" Pavel wanted to know what he could find.
"Well, she wasn't always so. In the past she was sociable and had friends, she was a member of musician club, but eight months ago something changed and she became this, as I was told she had a mission and after it she started to change."
"Well I have some information too." the boy said when Oleg stopped, "Well when we had that practice, I'd visited her after the next lesson in the sick-room. She didn't want to talk with me and tried to leave it, and then suddenly she started to shout that I think that she is useless and hopeless, like everyone else. Then she cried I hugged her and she fell asleep."
"Hm, in other words we found out something, but still it's just a small piece of information." Oleg pondered putting down the boy's words.
"Did you have a talk with her?" Pavel asked his teacher.
"Yes, but as I understood she will tell me nothing. So I think it's you who must try to get to talk."
"Me?" the boy was surprised from such words.
"I think she doesn't like to talk about her problems with other teachers, but you, as her classmate should try to become her friend, because she has no of them at all."
"What do you mean?"
"She occasionally wanted to say this."
"I see." the boy said wilted.
"Oh, and as she was attenting the musician club, I think you could find a common language with her through it."
"Why do you think that I like music?" the boy didn't understand the teacher's idea.
"Hadn't you always taken part in all singing contests before?" Oleg was surprised.
"To take part and to be forced to take part in it are different things." the boy chuckled.
"Well, go for your next lesson. And I'll try to think something. Remember, try to find a way to her I think music will help you somehow at least."
"Don't worry, I always can find a way to other people." Pavel referred smiling and was about to leave the class, when he suddenly encountered his other teacher Igawa Sakura. She let he pass and entered the class.
"I want to tell with you about something, Tereshkov-sensei." she said seriously closing the door, she hadn't got her brand smile, that's why the teacher understood that the talk won't be merry at all.
"How I hate his plan!" the man with rude and ringing voice said.
"Why? Is it because you're too big for shadowing?" the younger person said with a bid childish voice.
"How does he suppose this damn bastard thinks I'll be good in it?" the man rapped out an oath and then continued, "Shit, I'll be noticed me from afar."
"Don't worry maybe our mister silence will think something." the boy suggested.
"This damn freak think nothing, because doesn't talk, he only gives small cues which he had recorded somewhere before."
"Well I think he is funny." the young one said and turned his head to his interlocutor, "Like this Britain guards. You can speak whatever you want, but he will show you no reaction."
"Yes it's funny, but it's not fucking funny when you're doing missions with him!"
"I think it's cool to be on missions with such professional as he." the boy sounded his point of view.
"Thank goodness I'm not working with him this time." the big and muscular man sighed.
"Hey guys!" they heard the voice behind themselves the big man and the kid turned their heads and saw a man with white uniform; his face was gentle as always. The massive man immediately came to him grabbing the person in white uniform by the collar.
"What the fuck are you doing Avalanche?!" the massive person shouted at him, "How I'll work secretly with such body?!"
"Don't worry Massimo." Avalanche tried to calm Massimo down. "You left when I was about to explain everything more detailed." the massive man crossed his arms on his chest showing that he listening, "I'll put you in pair with Mechanic, he uses his drones for such job, so the only thing you must do is to protect him."
"See and you were complaining." the boy said with a smile to his comrade.
"Well if you say so, then it will be much better to me." Massimo responded. "Are we starting today in the evening?" Massimo asked the man in white uniform.
"Yes, sooner we start the mission, sooner we will find the answers we are looking for." Avalanche answered, to Massimo.
"Oh, by the way." the boy said, likewise he remembered something, "Commander asked you to recall him."
"Commander?" it seems, that Avalanche was amused, with such information.
"Yep, he wants to know about the process of our mission." the boy referred.
"Man I even don't know what should I report him back." the man in white uniform said, with a bit limped voice.
"Just tell him that mission in the process and something about the details. I think he will lecture you and nothing more." Massimo said to Avalanche.
"You know that I don't like to lie Massimo." he responded to his big comrade.
"Nah, don't worry, about it." the boy tried to cheer his comrade up, "Commander maybe terrible and formidable, but he has a good heart he will forgive you and maybe he even will give you an advice."
"You know what to tell Kangaroo, don't you?" the man put his hand onto the head of the boy and combed his hair. Then he turned and when along the corridor. He came to the door and opened it. There was nothing in the room but the table with a chair near with it and the computer which was on the table. The computer was turned on; he sat onto the chair and did a deep breath. When prepared himself mentally, he pressed some buttons and he could see a man with fair hair and with an eye patch on his left eye.
"So Avalanche, have you got something to report?" the man asked the man in white uniform with soma demanding notes in his voice.
"Greeting Commander." Avalanche greeted the Commander. "Frankly speaking, we haven't found what we're looking for yet." Avalanche heard a smash of a fist down on the table through the computer.
"Do you still have no clues where the schemes could be?!" the so called Commander exclaimed, "I thought that you found out something about their location!"
"I'm sorry sir. But these criminals hide perfectly, we could find only one slave camp, but it had nothing from we're looking for." Avalanche started to report; "We were continuing our searches, but we suddenly met…" he stopped for a while, but then decided to tell, "Taimanins."
"Taimanins?!" Avalanche heard another smash, "Why the hell they're there!"
"I think they're here, because of recent kidnappings sir, I'm afraid that we can look for the same criminals they're looking for."
"It wasn't in my plan!" the Commander wasn't going stop his shouting, however he calmed down and asked Avalanche, "What are you going to do if you meet the hunters?"
"Well if you want to know my opinion, I'd like not to meet them." but then he added, "However I think it would be better to unite with them in this mission."
"Forget about it." the man referred, "They will demand to give everything to their government. And we can't allow this to happen."
"Then what should we do?"
"If you suddenly encounter them, try to escape them. I'll talk about it with the boss, he will tell us precisely, what we must do with them." then he asked him again, "I hope you have the plan, how to act Avalanche."
"Yes Commander. I have already told it to my subordinates, if you want Hush can give you the record."
"There's no need in it." the man in the monitor replied, "If you want to become one of the high ranks there's no opportunities to you to lie. Fine I hope that everything will be fine, if you need someone to change tell me."
"Of course Commander!" the man exclaimed, and the man who was in the monitor disappeared.
'Phew.' he breathed out, 'I thought everything would be more difficult. However this time we have no right to come a stinker, we must find those schemes at any cost.' he got up and left the room.
