Chapter 19

The lesson finished and the big break started, Pavel was sitting on his place seeing how Masami was leaving the classroom. He looked at Maki and Aki, who were leaving the classroom too talking about energetically. Pavel got up too; he looked at Ren, who only nodded to him, and after this Pavel left the classroom too.

He walked along the corridors of the academy, thinking about what he was going to say to Masami, 'Man, I hope it works. I even don't know how to start the talk with her, maybe it's better to start it just as an occasion, like wise I found her accidently? Yes, I hope it'll work perfectly. The only thing that warms a lot is a date with Ren.' Pavel raised his head looking at the roof turning to the ladder, 'Well, maybe then we could go for a walk somewhere?' Pavel thought, but then smiled, 'I'm glad that she started to become warmer and warmer towards me. But still, I'm not sure that it's a perfect time to confess my feeling to her.'

After some minutes he left the building, he looked at the sky and saw that it was gray, because of the clouds, 'Please let it be not rainy.' Pavel pleaded looking at the sky. He quickly went to the back of the academy, and pondered, 'Well, Ren told that it must somewhere there.' Pavel started to explore the area around him, he knew that there was a wood behind the building, but he didn't know the place at all, Ren gave him a brief instructions how to find the place, but still it was troublesome for Pavel.

The boy started to look for clues, which could help him to find the needed place. After pretty big period of time he went to some field and in the end of it were several trees. He looked at them and saw that a lone girl with brown hair was sitting under the tree, and was reading some book, 'There she is.' Pavel quickly knew Masami in this girl. Pavel gulped and took a deep breathe.

"Oh, Masami, hi again." Pavel greeted the girl and started to get closer to her.

Masami raised her head and closed the book she was reading, she quickly put into her schoolbag, and closed it, Masami only nodded still continuing to sit on her place like before.

"Didn't know that I would find someone here." Pavel said rubbing the back of his head, "Have I interrupted you?" Masami shook with her head only watching at him. Pavel looked at her face, he could see her eyes, they were cautious and prepared for something, he decided to be careful, and not to talk about what he wanted directly, "Do you like to read here?"

"Kinda." she replied him.

"I really didn't want to interrupt you, I decided to check what is behind the academy, and occasionally found this place."

"I see." Masami responded him.

"Well, don't mind if I eat here?" Pavel asked her, not knowing how to start a mere talk.

"I'll leave then." Masami got up, and put her bag onto her shoulder.

"Wait!" Pavel said with a risen voice, "I don't mind at all if you stay here."

"I'd rather go." Masami wasn't intended to stay with Pavel.

"Masami!" Pavel grabbed her arm, "I know you want to speak out so please, don't torment yourself, if I can listen to you out."

"What do you want to hear?" Masami stopped her eyes were questing, and at the same time strange emotion were in them, which Pavel didn't notice.

"I know, how you avoid your classmates and I know that there's a reason to this, maybe if tell this we could do something with it?" Pavel asked her still holding her arm.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Masami emphasized the word 'we', "I can do everything myself."

"If you act like this that mean you couldn't!" Pavel raised his voice, what made Masami to turn around, "I know that there's something happened to you in the past and that made you like this, I just want to know what directly and try to help you to overcome it."

"Did you talk with the others about me?" Masami's voice became lower, she bowed her head in order to make her face not visible for the boy.

"Yes, I wanted to know what could happen to you."

"These lessons, were they just somewhat of a cover for trying to get closer to me, isn't it?"

"I…" Pavel stopped for a second, "Yes, I tried to become a bit closer to you, and when I saw you playing the piano, it seemed like I saw you real." Pavel said, but then added, "Masami it's not a way to deal with everything by yourself you must have someone with whom you can share your thoughts."

She bit her lower lip, "Let me go."

"No, I won't do this!" Pavel said firmly, but then she pulled her arm out and did a graceful turn and gave him a strong slap at his cheek. The sound and the hit was strong that made Pavel surprised and ambushed.

"Who allowed you to sneak in my life?!" she shouted, "You're just a foreigner who knows absolutely nothing about me, and sees for the first time! How are you planning to help me?!" Pavel couldn't say a single word just was watching at her helplessly, "All those whom I could confine in, are dead and the one whom I really trusted and belive in is…" she stopped for a second, "Who wised up you for this, Ikenami, or your countryman? I don't think that you found it by yourself." Pavel want to come to her and say something, but in no time Masami gave him a strong hit at his stomach, the hit made him cough and bend down onto his knees.

"Masami…" he said coughing.

"Don't even think to follow me, or I promise you much worse." she turned to him with eyes full of rage and anger and at the same time pain. After her words she ran out of the place where they were.

"Darn!" Pavel said spitting, trying to get up, he looked at the girl who was running away, and noticed that someone was lying near with the tree, he slowly came to it and saw a book which she read a while ago, "It seems that it fell out of her bag." he sat under the tree and took it, he looked at the name of the book, its name was 'Pistolero', "It was pretty long when I read this book last time." he started to list the papers of and suddenly something fell out of it, "Huh?" he picked the thing, and saw a photo. He started to examine it, he could see five people there, and as he noticed Masami was in the middle, with some boy, who was holding her for her waist, the other people were two girl and a boy, another boy was tall, and was standing behind them and the girls were standing aside, of Masami and the boy, "Could it be that they all…" Pavel thought taking a deep breathe.

Masami was walking through the thicket of the trees; her pace was fast, "That Pavel! How he dared to sneak into my life?!" Masami hit a rock that was on her way, "So despicable and disgraceful, no doubt it was the plan of that teacher or Ikenami herself, I don't know anyone else who could know about this place from the class." she took purchase on a big tree and continued to burst out her emotions, "His help is the last thing what I need, just some foreigner will teach give from who to except help."

"Loud words for a student Andou." Masami heard a voice behind her; she turned her head and saw a man with fair hair with a black costume, who gave them a first lesson, "Don't think that it wasn't a polite thing to hit the one who tried to help you?"

"Was it your idea sensei?" Masami said to the teacher with anger eyes.

"What if it's so, will it change something?" Oleg asked her too.

"Who allowed you to interfere my life?!" Masami asked him with still raised voice, "Didn't I say you that I didn't need your help?"

"But your eyes tell otherwise." Oleg said with a calm voice.

"What?" Masami didn't understand.

"I don't know the whole story Andou, but I could gather some information about you." Oleg started, "Your problem is that you always try to take all responsibility of your mistakes only for yourself, if you try to help someone you always try to help with everything you've got even if there're some risk on the way of helping you'll take it all for yourself, here you're comparable with Pavel." Masami didn't answer him, she was only standing an watching at the teacher, "I know what happened to you eight months ago, and it's pity, but you shouldn't put that mistake only for yourself."

"You know nothing about what have happened." Masami gritted her teeth, "If someone told you this you still have no right to speak about it."

"Indeed I can't." Oleg nodded, "But still I can give you advices about it, I know that your squad was ambushed, and it wasn't your fault that you weren't given direct information about it."

"It was absolutely my fault!" Masami shouted, "They all were my friends, and I was the captain of the squad! It was my failure that I couldn't save them that night!" she shouted at him, "Have you ever felt how someone you love dies on your eyes trying to protect you, and how this attempt, becomes failed, have you ever been tortured in front of the one you loved being unable to help him?!" tears started to form in her eyes.

"I felt this." Oleg confessed, "The only thing the one I really love didn't die, but betrayed me."

"What?" Masami raised her head towards him.

"And there's also one I love who blames herself in his deed, she blames herself for not being able to see that he was going to betray us, we both were tortured in front of each other, and I blame myself for being unable to help her to let fly this though out of her head." Oleg raised his head to the gray sky tears started to drop from his eyes too, he had a sad smile on his face, "There's not a single day I don't think about what happened, but instead of her I had lots of friends who helped me to gather myself, but for her I wouldn't say so, there's no person I love once anymore." he wiped his tears off, and turned to Masami, "Pavel didn't want to harm you or something, yes he can be naïve and easy minded, but he is a good person, he tried to get closer to you through these piano lessons only to become closer to you, and try to talk nothing more."

"Has he been in such situation?" Masami asked the teacher with lowered voice.

"Never, and I wish he will never be in them." Oleg responded, "Think about it." Oleg said to Masami and started to walk to the side of the academy, "Being on your place I would apologies to Pavel, and tried to talk with him about problems." he came to Masami and put his hand onto her shoulder, "You never should reject and repel those who want to help you, I think you should understand it well, and frankly speaking, Pavel can listen to people, and sometimes his advices work well." the he started to leave, "Think of what I've said, or in the future you'll blame yourself for not listening to this advice." and then he left the girl alone with her thoughts.

"So doctor, am I pasować1 to this mission?" Przemislav asked Etienne sitting on his bed, and letting Etienne to give a look-over his wound.

"Just as I said there's absolutely nothing, you can even send him to fight Igawa Asagi now."

"Even so?" the man in the hood and the cloak chuckled hearing these words.

"Very funny." Przemislav chuckled too, "Ale2… but I'm afraid you'll never see me then."

"Well if it's everything I'll go now, I haven't been to my laboratory, and I want to see the result of my current work, if you need me just call." Etienne said leaving the roof of the Polish.

When the door was closed the psychiatric continued in Russian, "So, I think you've already thought the plan of our work?"

"Yes, if our spy tells true, Eugene will spend first day in Tokyo, and the other two in Gosha Village, they will go to the village by train and will depart there from central Tokyo railway station."

"And where we're going to attack them?"

"I think on the station, it'll be perfect place, as we will be able to make them ambushed perfectly there, because of the crowds."

"I see, and whom you are planning to take with us?" Przemislav asked him again.

"I've thought about Archon, Naomi and these two monsters of Walter that helped your squad during the last mission."

"Will he give you them?" the Polish narrowed his.

"I think yes, after all he rarely uses them." Mystic said, "I will ask him, a little bit late, "By the way how were they?"

"Pretty good, they were able to protect Tardis alone, even my help wasn't necessary there."

"I see." Mystic did a pause and then added, "What about our politician?"

"That girl Izumi will visit him today with my guys. He said he has something to show us." Przemislav said.

"What it could be." Mystic said pondering.

"Yeah it's interesting, if Russian Minister arrives tomorrow, and we act the day after tomorrow, it must be something really interesting, by the way, don't you know who will on that mission from Taimanin?"

"I only know that Russian hunters will be there, after all it's there primal duty to escort him."

"And from the Russians it will be…?" Przemislav asked him.

"The first one is a teacher Oleg, and the second one is some student." Mystic answered his question.

"Well, I'll go to Izumi and tell her all details she will need." Mystic nodded and then both of them left the room.

'So, this one is here after all, and I was wondered what teacher they were talking about.' Przemislav thought looking for one of the twins, and where this girl could be?'

He decided to go to the training ground and after several minutes he found her fighting some boy, with a trident, Przemislav looked to the right corner and saw a man in silver armor who was watching at two contestants, Przemislav understood that it's a bad moment to call for Izumi so he decided to go to the armored man.

"Dzień dobry3!" the Polish greeted the Demon Lord.

"Dobry." Walter replied with a nod.

"Training… the kid?" the Polish looked at the man.

"Kinda." Walter was watching at the battle, and didn't pay much attention at the Polish psychiatrist.

"Has he got jakikolwiek sukces4? Any success." he corrected himself.

"Yes, a little, but still not bad after all now he understands how to fight strong opponents." Przemislav looked at Walter, and saw that his face had a satisfied smile.

The girl was only dodging boy's attacks, and the boy tried to get her with his trident. Boy's skills became better, and Izumi sometimes parried his attacks. The boy tried to get her from the jump, but Izumi could easily dodge, then the boy tried to make a feint and it was successful only in a half. After landing the boy tried to attack girl's legs, but then raised his trident and did a big swing, what made Izumi surprised, however she could protect herself with her blade in time.

"Też chciałem5 to ask you." Przemislav said to Walter, "Mystic said that he would like… to get these massive thing, that pomógł6 us during the last mission."

"I will lend them." Walter said, "I don't need them right now." and then the Demon Lord, turned his head to the man, "Do you need that girl?"

"Tak." the man nodded.

"Kid!" Walter shouted, attracting both fighters, "That's enough for today, come with me."

The boy stopped his fighting with Izumi, thanked her came to Walter, "I'm ready Master." the boy said with a lowered head, then Walter covered himself and the boy with his cape and they both disappeared.

"Do you feel yourself better?" Izumi asked Przemislav.

"Yes." the man said, he wanted to say something, but he snapped with his fingers, "The doctor said that I can fight that Asagi sam7, I mean personally."

"Stupid comparison." Izumi said, but still smiled at his words, likewise being glad that the man who helped her was fine, "As I understand you wanted to find me because of the meeting." Izumi said being ready for the task from the Polish, and he nodded.

"You are to meet him today at four o'clock." he did a pause, "My chłopcy… guys will go with you, if something will be needed the slimmest one will help."

"Got it." Izumi nodded and then added, "Anything else."

"Do you remember the place?" the girl nodded, "Jeszcze jedna rzecz8, if there will be something really important then say him to put it down. Well and that's all."

Izumi nodded and headed out of the training room, as she was heading to prepare herself for a meeting.

"Your skills became much better; it seems that you training with Torch weren't pointless." Walter said to the boy walking by the well-lit corridor.

"Mister Torch explains everything well, and I try really hard not to disappoint him." the boy responded.

"Glad to hear." but Walter wasn't interested in what he was talking, he was thinking about something only he knew.

The boy was following the man in complete silence trying not to make the man angry, and Walter liked it, he didn't like when the boy gave lots of questions. After some period of time they came to a room which had only a table, a bed, and several shelves with books. Both of them entered it and the man sat onto the chair, which was by the table, while the boy was standing.

'Well, his progress is increasing, there's no doubt, and even the control of his power increased under Etienne's watch, it seems that it was right idea to give him some freedom, if there was an opportunity to check his abilities.' Walter looked at the boy, who was standing with a worried face, 'Interesting, what if I try to explore his head now? Will I be able to find his presence there?' then he raised his head and said, "Come here." the boy gulped and nodded, he slowly came to the man and stood in front of him, "Sit." he pointed at the bad, the boy did what was said again, and then Walter got up, and came to him, he put his hand onto his forehead, and said, "It can be a bit painful." the boy gulped again.

Walter put closed his eyes and started to think, 'Nothing like always, maybe it was just my imagination that time?' Walter was standing in that position for about five minutes, 'Where, where are you?' he asked himself, then he heard how the boy hissed, and tensed, but still said nothing, 'Am I on the right way?' the boy squeezed his palms into fist and started to mumble something, 'Yes, there you're it seems that he is still sleeping, but what if I pour some my energy there?' he closed his eyes again, and in next moment heard how the boy started to shout, he knocked down the hand of the vampire and fell down onto the floor.

"What is this?!" he shouted, "What did you do to me?!"

"Nothing, just poured some my demonic energy into you." Walter said coming to him, but then grinned, "I think it'll make you stronger."

"My body…! Is burning!" the boy shouted squeezing his stomach and the other hand was squeezing into a fist.

Walter bowed down and put his hand onto the boy's head again, and after a minute he removed it, "Now it'll be better."

Little by little the boy started to feel himself better and better, "I think soon I'll let you go for a mission with the main group."

"What?" the boy whispered, still trying to catch his breath.

"I want to see the result of your training, and at the same time I want to see how you'll work in group."

"I won't fail you, master." the boy only answered.

"I know you won't." he responded to the boy.

The break started to come to its end, and all students started to return to their classes, Pavel was in the number of the last ones who returned to the class, when he entered it everyone could see a mark on his cheek. Everyone started to discuss it, Pavel only came to his desk put his bag onto it and took out the book out of the bag, then he went to Masami's desk the girl was sitting on her place. When the Russian boy was next to her desk he put the book onto it and said.

"I want to apologies for what happened, I won't bother you anymore." Pavel smiled to her, and turned around, Masami wanted to say something, but kept calm, as she didn't know what to say, the word of Oleg Semenovich were spinning in her head, but at the same time something inside of her didn't want to start the talk.

Everyone one was watching at the two of them, and couldn't understand what happened to them, even Ren was surprised of such picture, not speaking of Maki and Aki, but all the half of their attention was devoted to the teacher who entered the classroom.

The lesson continued, but Pavel didn't listen to the teacher at all, the teacher who was giving the lesson was Igawa Sakura, when she was asking her questions, she watched at the students, and noticed a mark on the cheek of the Russian boy, she narrowed her eyes, and glanced firstly at Ren then at Masami, she was wondered too, she decided to leave the talk for the time after the lesson.

Ren also didn't know what could happened between them, her eyes were running from Pavel to Masami too, 'Did she slap him?' Ren thought, 'But what could happen if she decided to do this?'

The lesson started to come to its end and when the bell rang, "Pavel, can I have a talk with you?" Sakura asked him, Pavel nodded. And both of them left the classroom. They went to the end of the corridor where were no people, "Who did this to you?"

"Sensei, there's no need to worry, everything will be fine." Pavel said, but Sakura interrupted him.

"Ren or Masami?" Sakura asked again, her voice became serious.

"Masami." Pavel confessed, "But it was my fault, don't blame her for this."

"That what I was talking about to Oleg." she sighed deeply, "If only was really well, and she wouldn't go deep inside herself."

"What do you mean?" Pavel didn't understand her.

"You shouldn't think about." Sakura turned, "You were acting from Oleg's orders, so there's no you fault." Sakura wanted to go somewhere, but she suddenly was stopped, by a hand that grabbed her wrist.

"Don't blame him too. It was my idea to help Masami, indeed most of the plans were his ones, but the desire was absolutely mine!" Pavel said firmly, "I think everyone must have someone to talk with about problems."

"You don't understand what happened to Masami and at the same time because of her nature you she won't tell you anything."

"I understand that I don't know what happened to her, but if there's a way to help her I'm ready to do absolutely everything in order to do this!"

Sakura was slightly astonished of these words, she turned and saw how some students and teachers were looking at them, "Well, we attract too much attention, give Masami to cool down." and after these words Sakura left him.

The day continued for Pavel there was only one thing that he awaited, it was the time that he ould spend with Ren in theta sweet shop. Pavel was thinking about his upcoming mission, about their training with Asagi herself, however he also was thinking about Masami and about Sakura's words, it was impossible to talk with Masami, the only thing for him was waiting for the moment when the girl would start the talk first.

The day finally ended, and all of students went to train, to club or home, and even on dates with their second part. Pavel quickly put everything in his bag and went to the exit of their classroom, "Hey Pavel, wait." Maki shouted to the boy.

"What is it?" Pavel asked her.

"Who gave you that?"

"Maki!" Aki raised his voice, "How many times I told you not to interfere to others' business with such rude way?" Aki lectured her.

"I just wanted to know maybe I could give that person, a lesson in manners."

"No need." Pavel said with a smile, "It was my fault after all so there's nothing to worry about."

"It wasn't Ren, was it?" Aki whispered to him, likewise he wanted to be sure that the tanned girl wasn't involved in this.

"Of course not." Pavel protested, "Why would she do this?"

"I see." Aki sighed with a relief, "By the way, are you going to the club today? Rinko wanted to see how we will practice together."

"Well say that we will do it a bit later." Pavel said, "Me and Ren will have do a mission tomorrow, so we have to discuss our teamwork."

"A mission so fast?" Maki was surprised, "And what will you do?" she was eager to know."

"Well, I think you'll all know the day after tomorrow." Pavel smiled mysteriously.

"Common! Tell us, we won't to know!" Maki demanded to know what this Russian boy was hiding.

"Maki, he told that you'll know everything by yourself, just wait and you know what he means." Ren interfered to their dialogue.

"Fine, but I hope I'll know it's first." Maki said with a smile, and then she and Aki went forward, leaving Ren and Pavel behind.

"Have everything gone not like planned." Ren asked him, not turning her head to the boy.

"Yeah." Pavel confessed, "I mad her really angry, and I feel really messy about it, I didn't want everything to go this way."

"It's not your fault." Ren sighed putting her hand onto his shoulder, "You just tried to do something to trying to help her with her problem nothing more, you shouldn't blame yourself."

"Yes, but the insides tell opposite." Pavel responded, "By the way, as I remember you should have to do something in your club, shouldn't you?"

"Don't worry, I did what was told, I just go there for some minutes nothing serious." Ren answered him.

"I see." Pavel said with a smile being glad that it wouldn't take much time.

They left the building of the academy, and then headed to the swimming pool, Ren entered the building, and after ten or so minutes left it, "I'm ready." she said. They headed to the main gates of the academy, "I wanted to ask you, about that organization." turned his head, "If we encounter them, how we should fight them? We still know a little about them, instead of you who have already fought them a lot."

"Let me see." Pavel became slightly energetic, "If we face someone like Przemislav or Torch, I don't think that it will be difficult to fight them alone."

"Prsh… Prze… man still can't pronanuce his name." Ren spitted.

"Przemislav." Pavel said with a smile, "It his surname and his name is Wojciechowski."

"How can you pronounce something like this?" Ren couldn't belive that it was possible to remember this name.

"Well, even we have problems with remembering Polish names and surnames." Pavel stated, but then said, "So, if we meet someone who uses mental powers like him or Archon, let me fight him, and you should just protect me."

"Is it because of that barrier in your head?" Ren asked him.

"Yes, the will need lots of attack to penetrate it, however I don't know how much they're strong with their power. I know that Archon is really strong in it, but I don't know about Przemislav, Oleg Semenovich and Maria Sergeievna tell that he is really his power is really dangerous."

"I wanted to ask you about something." Ren said to him, "Are there any people who feel nothing during the process of the creating of that barrier?"

"Well, I've read about it, but still didn't understand it good or right, but I've read some book which tells that it's really good."

"I see." Ren nodded, "And what about that French man?"

"He is a really strong opponent, we must be really careful fighting him, his needles are poisoned, and if one get you that lace will be paralyzed."

"And there lefts the man with a cloak and a hood, Mystic, am I right?"

"Yes, well…" Pavel stumbled, "To be honest, we won't be able to defeat him, the best idea for us is to join someone stronger and in number of three try to fight him."

"Have you already fought them, I mean in Russia?"

"Yeah, it was only once, when I went with my teachers on a mission, we had one other student with us. And somehow we were able to encounter them."

"And which members did you fight?"

"Etienne along with Torch, this duo was really harsh, I and Maria Sergeievna were fighting them, if only the other squad would delay for a several minutes we would be in serious troubles."

"I've read about that Torch, he uses flame ability and pretty skillful, how could you fight him?"

"We changed our opponents from time to time, it's a reckless method, but still practical, you must work perfectly with your teammate to do so."

"You're a good strategist, just like Aki." Ren was slightly shocked of hearing that.

"Do you really think so?" Pavel became confused of such praising, "Well you're not bad too." Pavel said, "After all your ideas were much better against this slobber mouth."

"However they all were based on your ideas." Ren disagreed with him, "I still have to practice in creating strategies."

"Listen, if I was rude there on the roof, then I ask you for your forgiveness, I really meant nothing bad."

"Found what to remember." Ren chuckled, "After all your lecturing was really constructible, I really shouldn't separate with Maki, and it was reckless to follow these two."

They continued their way to the Inageya sweet shop; they saw a big crowd there, which wanted to have a bite of famous village pastry. Ren and Pavel stood at the queue and suddenly Pavel said but still quietly, "Hey, isn't it Maki and Aki in front of us?"

"Where?" Ren looked out of the queue, "Yeah it really are they, wait a minute aren't they supposed to be in their clubs?"

"It seems that they decided to enjoy some free time together." Pavel suggested, watching how energetically they were talking, both of their friends were smiling, "How about to surprise them?"

"I don't think that it's a good idea." Ren shook with her head, "If the see us then we will talk if not then let it be so, after all they decided to spend this time together."

"Yeah, let's do it this way." Pavel smiled and started to wait for their turn to make orders.

"Finally, my dear, dear laboratory!" Etienne said entering the laboratory, it was another place, not as the previous one, this one was much bigger and wider, it had lots of tables and some scientific and medical stuff, it had several operational tables in the middle and several computers on the tables, after Etienne Liza entered it too.

"Now you can have some experiments, I don't think that we will be not needed before long." she said to the French.

"I hope so; because of these missions my project is being delayed, so now I'm planning to continue it." Etienne came to one of the tables and put two bulbs he was holding in his hands, he knocked by the and then went to his computers. He turned on one of them, and then started to press lots of button, "Well, after all they could keep the project on needed level, and we delay not for much." he said pondering.

"Will we be in time?" Liza asked him putting her hands onto his shoulders.

"I think yes, but if we are not, then I have someone who will take everything on himself." Etienne grinned and then went to the hall fixing his glasses.

In several minutes they reached another place, which was larger the previous one, there were four large bulbs in the middle of it and in them were possible to see four strange creatures, and also it was possible to see several people who were walking around. Someone did notes, while another one worked on the computers or was doing some other work.

"How is the work going?" Etienne asked the one who was standing with a clipboard.

"Ah, Mister Richar." the man flinched, "The work is going great. We've just put them to sleep, because they had started make a row."

"I see, what about their main features? Have you started their installing?" Etienne asked him again.

"Yes." the man nodded, "Let me show you, this one…" he pointed at the one who reminded a bat but still not completely, "Can use ultrasound, it can be harmful for people's ears. This one…" this time he pointed at the one who looked like a snake, the creature had long arms that could coil someone, and at the same time, the creature had finger with sharp claws, "Has a special acid that will paralyze its pray, this creature, frankly speaking, can produce unique acids, we still don't know how it was possible."

"It's because of the demon's glands." Etienne said, "They're still not explored well."

"I see, well another one…" the third one had four legs, the creature had massive arms and some strange processes which grew from his back, the creature reminded some insect, "Can use lighting, however we still don't know how to improve its power."

"I'll see what can be done." Etienne said looking at the creature.

"And the last one…" the man continued, "As you know we gave him the DNA you gave us." Etienne nodded, "The creature has a really firm skin, I don't know what should be done to penetrate it." The creature was massive, muscular and had big lobster claws, it reminded a demon, but still not much, "We also were surprised we knew that it have regeneration abilities."

"Regeneration ability?" Liza was surprised of these words.

"Yes, maybe it was in the DNA you gave us, after all it belonged to some demon I've never seen before." the man explained.

"Perhaps, this DNA was given to me by someone, so I don't know what it had too, it seems that you haven't put this information into the main report yet."

"I'm sorry Mister Richar, I was so captured with the work that I forgot to write it in the report." the man apologized.

"If what you say is true then the project will be finish in time." the French smiled, "When we will be able to test hem?"

"Well I think pretty soon, we still have to do some tests, and then we will be able to send them somewhere."

"Not bad, and these collars on their necks, I haven't seen them before, what are they for." Liza said to the man.

"Well, as I said they were too energetic, and we had to calm them down, so we decided to put them one, don't worry they won't be able to take them off."

"Not bad idea I must admit. It was right decision to leave the laboratory on you." Etienne praised the man, and joined the main work with the others along with Liza, who was checking some information on the computers.

"Finally it's our turn." Pavel said, when there left only one pair in front of them, "This place is really popular that there're so many people even after the lessons."

"There's still that much even during the big break." Ren said, "Even elders like to eat pastry of this place."

"Now I understand why it separated not far from the academy." Pavel chuckled.

When the last pair left it was their turn to take their orders, "Good evening Inage-san." Ren greeted the old lady, who was standing at the counter.

"Oh Ren, it's was pretty long since I've seen you hear last time, have I hope there's happened nothing bad."

"No, nothing to worry about." Ren answered with a smile, "Just too many chores right now, club, lessons missions and etc."

"I see." the old lady turned her head at her companion, "As I see you're in the company of that Russian boy, I hope you don't kick him about."

"Why should I?" Ren asked the old lady, "After all he is not that bad as I thought firstly."

"Well what would you like to eat?" the woman asked the young ones.

"As I said, take what you like, this is my treat today." Pavel smiled to Ren.

"Well if you say so then, I'll take Animitsu and some dango." Ren announced her order.

"I'll take the same then." Pavel said remembering his first try of this Animitsu which was the most delicious food.

After this Ren and Pavel went to the main part of the shop where customers were, they took free places at the table which was for only two people; both were surprised of what they saw. Maki and Aki were feeding each other, the girl was energetic in it, but the boy was a bit worried about it and sometimes didn't know how to make a thing right.

"Well, they have a date after all." Pavel said looking at them, "By the way what about if we do something like this?" Pavel quickly understood, what he just blurted out.

"It's beyond your understanding." Ren chuckled at this offer.

"Yeah, bad joke, I know." Pavel nodded his voice became a bid lowered and sad.

After some time their orders were brought, "Bon appetite!" Pave said taking a fork.

Pavel and Ren started eating and at the same time, they talked with each other they decided not to bother Aki and Maki and talk about the upcoming mission that will be tomorrow, even if it demanded just an ordinary security both of them still were excited, just being students they were allowed to protect two important persons, which lives demands on the further work of two countries.

When they started to finish with their meal they saw that Aki and Maki got up to and turned to their side, and suddenly both of them stumbled, as they saw their Russian and tanned friend. Pavel didn't come in nowhere and with a smile waved them, Ren did the same.

"Hey! Did you following us?" Maki asked both of them when she was by them.

"Not at all." Pavel answered; "We saw you when we came to this place." he looked at Aki who was red, because of understanding that they were seen by their friends.

"It's true." Ren nodded, "We didn't want to interrupt your time so we didn't call you."

"Aki you shall feed Maki more decisively or she will find someone who will do it better." Ren hit him at his shoulder, but still chuckled at such joke.

"It was for the first time and in such a crowded place." Aki could get out of the bad position.

"Just don't pay attention at them." Maki hit him by his back with her palm, "And if someone will think something bad about our relations, they will pay for that!"

Ren and Pavel finished their meals too, and when they were about to leave the café, they met the ones they had never expected to encounter, their teachers Hirata Chikeko along with Oleg Semenovich.

"Wow! What a meeting!" Maki exclaimed as she saw the pair.

"Yeah, long time no see." Oleg said, "As I remember you were supposed to come to the extra lessons today, am I right, Sato?" he looked with a serious eyes at Maki.

"Man!" Maki shouted, "I've totally forgotten!"

"I hope you'll be ready for the upcoming test next week." Oleg still was serious.

"Don't worry sensei." Aki decided to protect his girlfriend, "I'll help her with studying." Oleg nodded.

"By the way, Oleg Semenovich, are you two on a date?" Pavel decided to ask his countryman, but the answer was from Chikeko.

"Well, right now no, but maybe in the future..." Chikeko said with a strange note in her voice and looked at him and with a strange smile too.

"Right now, we are here to discuss our work, nothing more." Oleg said to Pavel, then they heard a voice of the old lady, who said 'next', after this Oleg and Chikeko went to do their orders while the students decided to go for a walk.

"My." the man with in white costume and the same color had whistled seeing Izumi, who was walking to them, "Doc said that he will send a girl with us, but I didn't think that she would be so beautiful."

"Hey girl can you fight?" another man who was much larger turned to her with a provoking voice, "Or you're coming with us just for appearances' sake?"

"Hey brother, don't act so rude towards this beautiful lass, if Doc sent her then she definitely knows her work." the man said with white costume turned to the big man.

"I just don't want to run and save her life if we encounter someone." he responded.

"Perhaps you'll be the one whose ass will be needed to be saved." Izumi said with a provoking smile.

"Why you!" the muscled man wanted to do something, but he felt how a cane was pressed against his chest.

"Bad idea." the man in the white costume said, "Did you forget, Doc said that she is our leader, so it's not idea to mess with her." then he turned his head to the girl, "So, shall we go, young lady?"

"Yes, we must come there on time." Izumi said, and then started to jump above by the walls of building jumping from one wall onto another; the men hit their fists and after several seconds followed her too.

They started to jump from one building to another one, while they were on their way to the club they decided to have a talk, "By the way, how we can name this beautiful lady?" the man in white costume turned to Izumi.

"Izumi." she merely said, "And what about you?"

"My name is Edward." the man with the cane nodded, "And this one is my brother Tomas, we are helpers of that Polish psychiatrist."

"Are you working for the organization?" Tomas asked her.

"No, but mine is an ally of yours." she said doing another jump, "By the way do you know this doctor well?" Izumi decided to know a bit much about that strange man with funny reservations.

"Not well." Tomas responded again.

"My brother wants to say that we don't know him well, we have been working with him for two years, but still we've met before."

"Really?" Izumi was surprised of hearing such information.

"Yeah, after all it was his idea to take us in his bodyguards, so we are not direct members of his organization, but only backing of it."

"I see, but what kind of missions do you do with Przemislav?" Izumi pronounced his surname carefully as she was afraid to make a mistake in it.

"We always try to work in political area, we are not well known in criminal areas, so it's easy for us to work there."

"It's strange if you work in political area how could you still be not uncovered?" Izumi was interested in it.

"Because we know how to work." Tomas responded with a grin.

"My brother wants to say that we always try to do everything perfectly, we discuss all nuances with our clients and never fail our work."

"I see." Izumi quickly understood that the best idea is talking with the thin man, and avoid retorts of the biggest one, 'It seems that all work is doing this one.' she thought looking at Edward.

Brother suddenly stopped and hit their fists again and then continued their way following the girl. They stooped in some district which was quite fashionable and rich, as it was possible to see, there were only people in official suits.

"Well is it the needed district?" Edward asked her.

"Yes, and that is the place we need." Izumi pointed at the club which was in the middle of the district and was watching at them, "How much time?" Izumi asked the men.

"It's ten to four." Tomas responded.

"We're being on time." Izumi nodded, she started to look the way how to sneak into the building.

"Don't worry, it's our work." Edward interrupted her ponders, "Doc said, that we enter it and you'll be allowed to enter it from the second outlet."

"Good plan." Izumi said, she didn't think that everything was planned so perfectly.

The two men jumped off from the building and then went out from a small alley. Izumi could see how they walked to the club pretty fast. Izumi was observing all their moves and when they disappeared, she started quickly headed to the side where the second outlet was like she had already known the place. She found a perfect place for observing it and after some minutes the door was opened. She focused her eyes on the door and then quickly opened them in just in a second she was again with these men.

"Wow, good skills girl." Edward said to the girl, "I thought you would come here like usual."

"Just decided to do it faster." Izumi answered him.

"We must hurry, our client is here." Tomas decided to hurry his companion.

The three of them followed a man who started to lead them, he led them by the corridors, and in the end he brought them to the farthest place the man opened the door and let them enter the room, he explained that he will wait for the end of the meeting. Izumi nodded and then she saw a man in the black official suit with black hair who was sitting in the chair in front of the sofa.

'How they like these costumes.' Izumi rolled her eyes fixing her scarf.

"Ah, you must be that person Wojciechowski said to me." Hayasi came to them and stretched his hand to Izumi, "You can call me Hayasi."

"Izumi." she accepted the handshake, but the man kept her hand and then kissed her, but still he kissed her metal glove.

"I hope we will work out perfectly, beautiful lady." the politician said, "Please sit down." he pointed at the sofa and followed to his place. Izumi sat onto the sofa, while the men stood behind her likewise protecting. "Well, I'll be quick, it not safe for me to be in this place." the man took a case which was by his sofa, "I had a meeting with some politicians and two of them agreed to work with us, whilst the other one refused."

"And we are to eliminate this one, aren't we?" Edward asked him.

"Yes, but I must warn you, don't underestimate her, she is a retired Taimanin."

"Huh?" Tomas was a bit surprised of hearing this.

"I think I know who you're talking about." Izumi's eyes became serious, "Nakamura, from pro-governmental party?"

"Now I understand we he decided to send you." Hayasi smiled, "He always try to find smart companions."

"I know her because my organization, has already tried to assassinate her, but this attempt was failed, because of Asagi herself."

"So it was you after all." the man seemed like he remembered something, "Well, about our business, I found someone from her party who would join us, but he won't be able to become a leader of her party while she is alive."

"Has she some guards around her?" Edward asked him, "Number, strength, everything can be valuable and useful."

"Right now she has one bodyguard, as I'm aware she is a pro-hunter too, but I know nothing more." he did a pause, "As I know too, Asagi won't interrupt you, she is responsible of the coming of Russian Minister."

"Nice news." Tomas said likewise he knew who that Asagi was.

"One more thing." he turned to the girl, "Right now, I'm not so flexible as before, so I won't be able to come on these meetings, I'll send my secretary. I'm afraid to found by the government and at the same time by Yazaki Munechi, I think I shouldn't explain you who it is?" Izumi shook with her head, "That's why I want to ask you to drop her off these documents." he opened his case and took out several papers. Izumi took them and started to read, "They tell a little about Yazaki's deal out of the policy, at the same time it will lead him away on a false trail from me, and will give me some free time which I'll need."

"I see, not a difficult work." Izumi returned the documents to the man, who put them back into the case and stretched it to Tomas, "Where we should get her?"

"Don't worry, it's my work." the man smiled, "I'll call to your doctor when it will be needed." the man got up and wanted to say goodbye to the girl, but he suddenly was stopped by the girl with the scarf.

"Wait!" the man was surprised, "Wojciechowski will go on a mission tomorrow and I don't want him to be interrupted, call me and tell all the details to me."

The man smiled, "With pleasure, but can I know your number?"

"Yes, do you have something to put it down?" the man took out a notebook and a pen, Izumi pulled out a clear paper and quickly wrote her telephone number, "Here." she stretched it to the man.

"I'll try to call you tomorrow." the man smiled and left the room leaving the trio alone.

"Now, we only have to wait for the call, and we are in action again." Tomas hit his palm with his fist, "Perfect opportunity to warm up."

"Yes, I understand your eagerness. After all we haven't been in action since that fight with the woman with axe and that tanned girl."

"I hope you'll give me an opportunity to fight first." the big one asked the little one.

"Don't worry, we'll fight like always, and at the same time we will have an extra help." Edward looked at the girl.

"You shouldn't underestimate Nakamura, if she is a retired Taimanin, that doesn't mean that she is weak, at the same time, she is under someone's protection that's why we must be very careful."

"Well how we are going to leave this place?" the man with the hat asked her, "I don't think that it'll be good idea to glow in the streets with us together."

"Don't worry." Izumi said chuckling, "Come closer." the two did what was said, Izumi closed her eyes and in next second they vanished form the room they were a second ago.
