Chapter 5
The morning came fast, and everyone started their work, students were walking to the academy along with teachers, while other people were going to the other places they needed. Oleg and Maria decided to leave a bit earlier, as Pavel's class didn't have the first lesson. Maria and Oleg discussed, their upcoming working day, while behind them was going a yawing boy, in the girlish academic uniform. Their conversation wasn't energetic as both of them wanted to sleep too, however the work was important for them
"Hey! Hello!" they heard a merry voice that was in their left; the tree turned their heads and saw Sakura along with Asagi.
"Do you always come so early?" Oleg asked watching at Asagi.
"Yes, the work never waits, it's better to do it early and leave early." Asagi replied, "And what made you come that early?"
"Yeah, even your student is with you." Sakura joined their talk, "You could let him to sleep a bit longer."
"Finally someone tries to help me!" Ilya was glad that someone started to protect him.
"Don't protect him; in with us he won't be late for the lessons." Maria responded, "In Russia he used to do that."
"It wasn't that often!" Ilya protested, "I was late only few times."
Sakura started to laughed, took out a candy bar out of her hand bag and stretched it to the boy.
"Here, it'll give you some energy."
"Thanks." the boy accepted the gift.
"Is something heard from 'The Third Law'?" Oleg asked Asagi.
"No, right now everything is peaceful; even other criminal structures don't show their activity." Asagi answered him.
"It's really scaring." Oleg pondered.
"What do you mean?" Asagi didn't understand what the man was feared of.
"They do such long pauses only, when they're thinking something, and that something is not really good."
"Two seals are destroyed, while four are still intact. We must find them first somehow." Maria said with a serious voice.
"If only we knew what these seals do." Sakura sighed, "More we meet them, more questions appear, we hadn't such things even with NOMAD and Incubus faction."
"Even we know little about them, their leader, their plans and aims. All of that is unknown to us." Oleg said, "However if these seal are valuable for them it means that they're really dangerous."
"And that only makes everything difficult; we don't know where they are and how to find them." Asagi sighed heavily.
"The only thing we can do right now, is waiting for anomalies and only then we are to react urgent in order to prevail their attempts on their destruction." Oleg said.
"As I remember, you can work with these seals?" Asagi asked him again.
"Yes, we only must restore them." he answered her.
"I hope will be able to do that." Asagi said becoming frown, "I don't want to see the result of their destruction."
They continued their way to the Gosha Academy. When they entered the building, Ilya went to his class meeting some of his classmates. The teachers decided to go to the teacher's lounge along with Asagi, who wanted to check there something. When they came there they saw several teachers like Takeuti, Chikeko, Rin and some others.
All of them were standing in front of TV, which was fixed on the far wall.
"Hey, guys what's going on?" Sakura asked the staff; however she didn't hear the answer, and all of the decided to come to it in order to see what attracted their attention that much.
There was a news program. In the screen of the TV were three people. Two of them were men in ages in official suits and between them was standing a beautiful lady, with official suit too, she was much younger than the men, who were about forty or fifty years old, the woman seemed about thirty years old. The trio was standing on the stage behind three tribunes.
"Yes, this decision was thought well, and today we decided to declare it for all of our beautiful country." the man, who was standing on the left of the girl was speaking, "We decided to unite our parties in one."
A lot of talk started in the TV, the persons were asked a lot of questions, but they couldn't answer even a single one, because they even could hear it properly, then the man who was standing on the right of the woman suddenly said.
"Yes, I know this is really shocking and surprising. Your puzzlement is understandable; our points of views, programs and ideas are differing a lot. However, we decided to show that we can overwhelm our differences, and work together."
"Mister Chiba! What made you to unite?" one journalist asked the man on the left.
"As my former opponent said." the man looked at the man on the girl's right, "Our main point of view is to work together not letting ill and malignant laws to be created. Lots of them were created not long ago and we are to decline them all in order to people of Japan could sleep and live well."
"Miss Yamasaki! Why your party decided to join it? How Miss Nakamura will react on this?" another journalist asked the woman.
"I'm afraid; Miss Nakamura won't react on this, as she was killed, by some strange people."
The talking increased, more questions started to asked the woman and she answered them quietly, and calm, like she wasn't worried at all.
'How does she know about that?' Asagi thought watching at the screen.
"'National course' decided to join the coalition, because of memory of Nakamura. We will continue our work on protecting interests of an ordinary man, and if our colleagues are to make something against our ideals we will leave the coalition."
"What the hell is going on?" Sakura asked herself out loud watching at the screen.
"Three small parties decided to combine in one big." Rin responded.
"I think all the country is in tumult." Chikeko answered too, "How the pro Taimanin party could join these cunning scums."
"Yeah, it really surprising." Takeuti replied too.
Oleg and Maria said nothing and were just watching at the screen quietly.
"'National course', 'Right Sector' and 'National ideals' will unite in Japanese dossocialistic party." Yamasaki said.
'Dossocialsitic?' Asagi glanced at Russian duo, 'Isn't it Russian and Yugoslavian main party?'
Oleg noticed that Asagi glanced at him, but didn't react on it, 'How could they think of it?' Oleg thought watching at the screen, 'As I remember, Japan always tried to work with the UFS and dossocialsm is impossible here.'
The journalists started to ask much more questions the trio on behind the tribunes, and all of them answered the questions. Their answers were pretty fair, and even the Taimanin in the lounge believed in them.
"Our new program soon will be available and all of you will be able to acquaint with it." the man on her right said, "I hope it'll be like by your hearts and minds."
"That Asano sings well." Takeuti frowned, "What they will right in their program?"
"The most interesting, why they decided to take dossocialsm as their policy." Uehara Rin pondered, "This thing is not popular at all."
"I wouldn't say so." Oleg decided to enter their conversations, "This political ideas are quite popular, and in Eastern Europe, and in Yugoslavia."
"How do you think party unions is a good thing?" Chikeko asked him, when she was next to him.
"This is an ambiguous situation, it's can be good and can be bad." Oleg replied, "It's impossible to predict, what result of their activity will be."
"One example of joining communists, liberals and socialists in our country." Maria also joined to them, "How they decided to oppose other parties in the parliament."
"Was it that bad?" Sakura asked her.
"As our history tells their unity was troublesome, and 'United Russia' started to work with dossocialists in order to not them let do what they want."
'I must ask Nobushige to discuss it with Eugene.' Asagi thought, 'I don't how the things are going on, could Nakamura be killed, because of that unity?'
The bell rang and the teacher went on their lesson, Oleg hadn't got the first lesson today so he decided to work with some papers, Sakura also hadn't got the lesson so she decided to chat with Oleg.
"What are you doing?" she asked him, as she sat by him.
"Just preparing some material for lessons." Oleg replied, while his eyes were running by the papers.
"Sis said that tomorrow we will go to the secret island, for a little vacation." Sakura chuckled.
"Is it Ikenami's favor?" Oleg asked Sakura.
"Have you already forgotten?" Sakura turned to him taking one of his papers, "Sis decided to do it on weekends, so we'll have even Monday in our possession."
"Hm, not bad." Oleg said, not interrupting form the papers, "By the way, we can make some training for the kids, if they meet these lunatics, they'll show them a good resistance, after all."
"That what I wanted to discuss." Sakura was glad that the man raised this theme, "I thought about training one student against two teacher, how about to make one students against two students?"
"Not a bad notion." Oleg removed his papers, "I think it'll be interesting for them, and also give them skills in fighting in nonstandard situations."
"Sweet." Sakura chuckled, "I'll prepare the idea, by the way, how about to make our deal too there?"
"What deal?" Oleg didn't understand, but then smiled, "Ah, our fight." Sakura nodded, "Fine, I don't mind." Oleg replied, Sakura wanted to leave him knowing that everything was fine, but Oleg suddenly said, "Sakura…"
"What?" she turned her head to him.
"No, nothing." he suddenly said, "If you have some ideas, on practice you can share them with me."
"I will." Sakura smiled, and went to her place and started to work on her papers too.
When Ilya, Oleg and Maria left the dormitory, Pavel got up, and rubbed his eyes. First thing he did was washing and eating; he quickly dressed up and then left the accommodation with his schoolbag.
'Man, it would be better to sleep for some more time.' he yawned, 'But still it'll be much better to start practicing with Masami as early as I only can. After all she can change her mind.' Pavel looked at some people who were around him, the boy couldn't belive that for two months they all got used to him, and don't watch at him too much, 'I'm glad she finally decided to open herself.' he smiled to his thoughts, 'Maybe I should go with her somewhere out? Will she accept the offer? And what Ren will think on this?' little by little, his thought came to the tanned Taimanin, 'It'll be good to have some training with Ren too, and then go out somewhere, just the two of us.' the boy looked at the gray sky, 'It'll be good to go to the cinema or somewhere else.'
His way continued, until he reached the gates of the academy, Masami had been already there.
"Didn't wait long for me?" Pavel asked her as he saw her.
"No, I've just came too." Masami replied and joined him, "So, how will our training pass?"
"Well, I think it's better to go to practice facility and there, we will be able to think of something." Pavel gave her an answer.
"Just a mere practice like always?" Masami still couldn't understand what was the role of that practice.
"Honestly, they differ a lot." Pavel answered, "Our practice will be aimed on restoring your mentality and spirit."
"Still vague." Masami replied, watching at the students, who were hurrying for the first lesson.
"Yes it is." Pavel smiled, "But it wouldn't be that interesting if everything was so easy."
"By the way, do we have the lesson of Maria today?" Masami remembered their new Russian teacher.
"Yes, it'll be the second one, today will be a practice, so you'll be able to feel, the work of mental abilities." Pavel chuckled.
"I see." Masami said, and then turned her head to the boy, "I also wanted to know one thing."
"What is it?"
"What did you tell Maria-sensei, when she called me to the blackboard?"
Pavel stumbled, "Well… if to be fair, I just asked her to be easy with you. Maria Sergeievna is a really strict and not knowing about your problem she could do something not good at all. But don't think that she is a bad person, she is really a good, but with her own methods of course."
"I don't think so." Masami said, "I saw that she is a good one, Yatsu-sensei is the same, but she always tries to seem strict and unjust, but it's because she want to prepare us for the real work of Taimanin."
"Yeah, I think these teachers must be respected." Pavel nodded in agreement.
"And…" Masami stopped, "Spasibo1…"
"Ah?" Pavel was surprised of hearing of the Russian word.
"For warning Maria-sensei about me." Masami looked at him, "Have I surprised you?"
"Yeah, it's was the first time, when I hear a Russian word from Japanese people." Pavel didn't hide his amusement.
"How do you think, should I teach Russian?" Masami asked him as they did a turn from the road to the training facility.
"Well, it'd be great, I think." Pavel didn't know what made the girl to speak about studying languages, "But it's really a difficult language I think as difficult as Japanese."
"Then I'll be able to talk with your friends and ready for the coming of other transferred people."
"That's why you want to study it."
They came to the facility, and then they went to different sides, to change their clothes, when everything was done Masami was standing in her battle uniform, which consisted of a shirt, which covered her front part of her body except of a small part of the stomach. Her pants, closed her legs except upper part of her hips. On her back she had her spear.
'Her uniform suit her really damn well.' Pavel thought, as his cheeks started to become red, "Well are you ready?" Pavel asked her.
"Yes." Masami nodded and said firmly.
They went to a spacy room which was free right now. Masami prepared her spear and Pavel prepared his sword.
"We'll start with a warming up." Pavel said, "I won't attack you just try to attack me, as fast and strong as you only can, I'll only avoid your attack."
"Got it." the brown haired girl nodded, she looked at her spear and something strange started to come to her head.
"Don't worry, everything is fine." Pavel tried to convince Masami, "I promise I won't harm you."
Masami gulped, she stood for several second trying to conceive herself on a fight and then did a fast move to Pavel, however that move was indecisive, and Pavel could predict her lunge. The boy quickly blocked her attack with his sword.
"Not, bad." he tried to cheer the girl up.
Pavel pushed her away, and the prepared for a new strike. This time Masami decided to make a several serial attack. One was done with a wide swing another was a lunge and then she did a strike from to down to up. Pavel dodged the attacks, it was in some ways difficult, but still he didn't repel even a single attack.
'Wow, she is really a dangerous opponent, if not this problem she would be the strongest student, I think even stronger than Rinko.'
Little by little Masami started to feel herself firm, she saw that Pavel didn't lie and didn't attack her. So Masami tried to find a good time to get him, however she tried not to hurt him too. As she didn't want to see the blood even of her partner, because of that Pavel felt himself comfortable in the battle. Masami tried another series of attack. This time she decided to jump and trying to attack him from the air, when she landed onto the ground she did a large swing, and tried to attack his legs, but each attack was avoided successfully.
They continued their fight for about ten or fifteen minutes. And then Pavel decided to make a little break.
"Aren't you tired?" he asked her.
"No, not at all." Masami tried to catch her breath, Pavel looked at her bosom, which was up and down.
"Well, let's make a five minute break, and then we continue." he removed his eyes.
"Ok." Masami replied and sat onto the floor, Pavel did the same, "What we do now?" she asked him as he sat onto the floor.
"Well, the main training is starting now." Pavel said thoughtful like he remembered something, "Now you're to hold your weapon firm and try to hurt me, trying to scratch me."
"What?" Masami was shocked of what she'd just heard; "I won't do this!" she quickly got up.
"I will protect myself." the boy said, "You should scratch me, but you must fight me with the thought that you want to do so."
"I don't understand." Masami cooled, "What do you mean with the thought of wounding you?"
"It's just a mental task. You must think about me just as about your enemy, whom you must defeat. It would be better to fight with some demon or some traitor, but it's very dangerous, so we will make it in that way. As I said you may not hurt me, but you must fight me with the thought that I'm your enemy."
"Understood." she said indecisively.
"As I said you, nothing to worry about." he took her hands into his, "I won't hurt you and will only protect myself and will block your attack."
Masami felt herself comfortable in his hands, she felt herself protected and decided to confide to him, "I'll try, but… Don't wait much from me."
"It's our first training, just getting used to it will be enough for us." he smiled widely to her.
They went on a distance from each other in order to prepare for the fight.
'He is my enemy, I must fight him properly.' Masami thought, and then did a fast move ahead and did a lunge with her spear.
'Wow, even faster than in the beginning!' Pavel was shocked of her speed, "Not bad, I was really surprised, can you do it faster?"
"Let's see." Masami replied and did another lunge.
This time Masami tried to fight more carefully, she tried to see the seconds, which were good for attacks, but still she ould see him as an enemy. She tried her best, but this thought didn't appear in her head. Pavel was only blocking her attack and from time to time he dodged them. Masami was very good with her spear, but in a real battle, she definitely would lose. Right now both of them felt each other and the way of the training suited for both of them.
'Man, if only I had mental abilities, I would be able to see what is in her head.' Pavel thought, 'Maybe we should try next practice with Vlasova? No, I want to show that I can make everything myself, maybe then she will see me as a good trainer.'
Masami decided to change her fighting she turned her spear and tried to hit him with it. Pavel could avoid that lunge and then saw how the blade of the spear was next to him. Pavel dodged again and then exclaimed.
"Masami! Close your eyes!"
"What?" she watched at him and saw how Pavel covered his arm with his palm of another hand.
Masami quickly shut her eyes and, her hands and legs started to tremble.
"Masami, everything is fine. Nothing to worry about it's just a simple scratch." Pavel tried to calm her down, "I'm fine." he put his hand onto her shoulder and said gently, "Sit down."
Masami did what was told and then she felt how something pressed against her back, it was Pavel who did the same. For several minutes silence was around them, but Pavel decided to disturb it.
"You did well, I even didn't know that you're so strong." he tried, to move away from what had just happened, "I think if you train that fast, we'll treat you really quickly."
"Do you really think so?" Masami asked him.
"Yeah, I'm doubt for a hundred percent." he chuckled, "By the way; I wanted to ask you why you didn't let the others to help you? I know it's none of my business and if you don't want you cannot answer it." Pavel didn't want to push onto the girl, so he decided to be delicate.
"I just tried to deal myself, they all were my friends and I wanted… I thought I could deal everything myself. And little by little I shut myself from the others; I didn't want to feel that pain again."
"That was really hard time for you." Pavel said to her, "I know, I've told you, I've never felt something like that, but I hope that you'll be able to be the same as you was before."
"Honestly, I don't know, why I decided to trust to you all, but my insides tell that I must do so." she decided not to tell him about her talk with Oleg.
Suddenly the door opened and they saw a woman with red hair and strange armor. Behind her was a spear.
"Didn't know that you decided to have a training that early." Maria said watching at them.
"Good morning, Maria Sergeievna." Pavel waved to her.
"Good morning, sensei." Masami nodded.
"Why are you so early? The lesson is still ot finished." Pavel asked her.
"Just decided to check the place for practical lessons." Maria replied, "But I'm glad that you decided to start training that fast. How was it didn't he make anything stupid?"
"Maria Sergeievna! Stop think about me just like about some reckless element!" Pavel wasn't glad that his mentor was speaking about him in that way, "I would never do anything stupid!"
"No." Masami shook with her head, "Everything was fine, he worked as a good mentor."
"Really?" Maria raised her eyebrow, "You can be serious and diligent?"
"Maria Sergeievna!" Pavel exclaimed.
Masami chuckled at this scene it was really funny for her to see how the teacher and the student were have their talk. Pavel decided to leave and wash his hand, as he didn't know how Masami would feel herself. While the teacher and the Japanese student were alone, Maria suddenly asked her.
"Can I have your hand?"
"Of course." the girl nodded, "Here." she stretched her hand.
Maria took it and closed her eyes. They were standing in that position until Pavel's arriving. Pavel didn't say a single word as he didn't want to disturb Maria from what she was doing.
"You could use wooden weapons for training, if you want to know." the mentor said, "Then she woudn't scratch you nd you had no need in stopping training."
"Crap. I totally forgot about it." he slapped his forehead.
"No, everything is fine." Masami tried to protect Pavel's decision, "After all, we tried to create a real situation of battle. So it's much better I think."
"I don't mind against of it too." Maria said, "However I think you've just forgot about it." she looked at her Russian student.
"Yeah, it was really my bad." Pavel confessed.
They heard steps of a big crowed out of the room, they were heard closer and closer. Maria, Masami and Pavel prepared themselves, and in several second Pavel and Masami's class entered the room.
"Wow, Pavel and Masami are already here." Maki was lightly surprised of it, "Hi guys!" she waved them.
Pavel and Masami did the same, Ren looked at Pavel and the boy noticed that glances, by Ren's appearance she was glad that he could find a common language with the stubborn girl.
Little by little all students came, while they were preparing. Maria came to Pavel and whispered him.
"You'll go earlier from the lesson; Oleg Semenovich wants to talk with you." Pavel nodded and then stood next to Maria along with Ren, who stood on the other side of her, "As was promised, today we will see the work of mental powers." Maria started her speech, "Today, we will work on improving part of this power, I'll increase your power, speed, caution and etc. So you'll be able to see changes in you, I'll warn you that after it, some of you can have some problems, like headache or stomachache or you can feel pain in your muscles, so if you feel it, come to the sick-room immideately. Now we can start, Pavel, the lesson will be passed by you I'll tell when you can finish."
"Got it." Pavel nodded, "Well, as it was told mental abilities have many functions and as the teacher said, we will get acquainted with increasing powers today." Pavel did a pause, "Any volunteers?" he asked the class, and suddenly saw one arm.
"I'm!" it was energetic Maki.
"Come here." Pavel called her, "Maria Sergeievna will increase your speed, and to see it, you'll spar with me."
"Got it." Maki came to Maria, Maria stretched her hand, and Maki accepted the handshaking.
After some seconds, Maria released Maki and with Ren stepped aside. Maki and Pavel were in the middle of the room and then, Maki quickly dashed to Pavel.
"Wow it was really fast!" someone of the crowed was astonished of her.
Maki did a lunge with her arm, making Pavel to dodge it than she started to attack Pavel again and again. Pavel decided not to protect himself, but only avoid her attacks.
'It would be more difficult if I wouldn't warm up with Masami.' he thought and then exclaimed, "Maki enough!"
Maki stopped, "I've never moved so fast before, is it just because of one touch?" Maki asked him.
"Mental powers, are working on your brain and subconscious. You move fast, but in reality your brain has an installation that your body can move faster, so you do it." Pavel explained.
"That sounds really cool." Maki did some moves in order to feel in better.
"Our subconscious hides an incredible potential, which we don't use so our power is to reveal this potential." Maria explained a little too.
"Sensei, how about to make it between the other two students?" Ren asked her, " Improve one and another one will fight."
"Not a bad idea Ikenami." Maria nodded, "You and you." First Maria pointed at the boy with blue uniform and black hair, who also had a spear and the second one was Ogawa Mai, "Come here."
They came to her Maria glanced at Pavel, "Shig will be improved." Pavel looked at the boy, Maria nodded, and took his hand and Mai will test the effect of the power.
After a minute, Shig and Mai were ready to start the battle. Mai did a quick dash to him exposing her katana on a great speed, the boy quickly dodged it and took out his spear, he did a back step and then dashed at her with his spear in readiness.
"Amazing, Shig never was able to fight Mai, but now he fights her almost on equals." Aki said rather to himself.
The battle was pretty fair, however the powers weren't used, Mai tried to get Shig, but the boy somehow could dodge her lunges pretty directly, like he saw where she wanted to strike.
"Enough!" Pavel exclaimed and both of them stopped, Shig mumbled something, but he was quickly cooled by the classmates.
"Here's the perfect example of mental powers." Pavel said, "Who wants to be next one?"
Suddenly they saw what surprised them all. Even Pavel was shocked of it.
"I would like to try." the one who showed the desire to have a try was Masami Andou herself.
Whispering appeared among the classmates, she didn't pay much attention onto it, Ren wanted to say something, but couldn't as Pavel took the floor first.
"Why not." he chuckled, "Maria Sergeievna will be your opponent." he saw puzzlement in Masami's eyes, "But the conditions are next, Maria Sergeievna is only protecting herself not having an idea to attack." he looked at his mentor.
Maria nodded and came to Masami. The girl stretched her hand out and felt how cold metal glove took it. After a minute the same procedure was done, Maria stood on a distance in front of Masami and prepared her spear. Maria didn't decide to make first move as she remembered well, Masami had some mental problem so she decided to give her an opportunity to strike first. Whispering and discussing continued, but Ren could shut her classmates fast.
After some short period of time Masami finally did her move. She ran to the teacher preparing her spear for attack, Maria quickly blocked the lunge, and saw how Masami prepared to attack again, another attack was blocked.
'It'll be good for her to practice with Maria Sergeievna.' Pavel thought seeing, how Masami wanted to strike Maria with the hilt of her spear; 'After all she is a tough opponent and can avoid her strikes.'
Masami tried her best, to get Maria, but all her attempts were vain. However, the fight was really tense and exciting. Maria didn't dodge the attacks of Masami, because the girl strikes were well planned. Masami was scared that somehow she would be wounded, but the Russian teacher did everything well in order not to let this happen.
When Pavel saw that Masami, started to move a bit more slowly he suddenly exclaimed.
"Enough!" the opponents stopped their dual, and removed their weapons, "Not bad Masami." he said to the girl, "You did a great work." the girl nodded and returned in the line to her classmates.
Pavel continued the lesson, but when he wanted to call someone else, Maria came to him and said that he could go, as Oleg was waiting for him.
Pavel said goodbye and left the room, leaving the lesson back to Maria.
'Interesting, what's Oleg Semenovich wants from me? Maybe there was something serious if he wants to talk with me during the lesson, and as I remember, he should have lesson too, maybe he needs my help too?'
Pavel decided to hurry, so he didn't change his clothes, and headed straight to the classroom, of his Russian teacher.
After several minutes he quickly reached it, and when he opened the door, he was slightly surprised of what he had seen. There were Oleg, Chikeko, Tatsurou and Yukikaze. Pavel was surprised of such company.
"Well, have something happened?" Pavel asked watching at the young hunters.
"Yes, good that Maria warned you to come." Oleg said, and looked at Maria.
"Pavel, you along with Yukikaze, Tatsurou and me, will have a mission tonight." Chikeko started, "So we decided to have a practice today, and since Oleg-sensei is free for today, he offered us our help."
"I see." Pavel watched at the younger persons and added seeing their expressions, "As I understand there's something else, am I right?"
"Yes." Chikeko nodded, "Yukikaze and Tatsurou won't return with us tonight."
'Huh?" the boy didn't understand, what the teacher meant.
"They will be taken by 'Red Division' in order to do another mission." Oleg answered.
"What? 'Red Division? But what mission can bind them?"
"None of your business." Yukikaze didn't like that the boy was asking too much questions.
"Yukikaze, he is helping us he should know about it too." Tatsurou didn't agree with her.
"And if he tells about it to Asagi-sensei? We can't trust him much!" Yukikaze didn't give up.
"He won't tell anything to her." Oleg ensured the young Mizuki, "They want to save Mizuki Shiranui, 'Red Division' will help them in that."
"Got it, what is needed from me?" Pavel asked as he turned his head to Oleg.
"First we are to deal with some demon nest, and then they'll be taken by these people." Chikeko explained, "Nothing more."
"Well, sounds easy." Pavel shrugged with his shoulders, and saw how Oleg came to him and stretched something out.
"Here, call to the first person, when you'll be on the place, he knows that you're from me." Pavel nodded.
"But what we'll say to Asagi? I mean she won't be glad that her students wander somewhere on their own."
"We will blame 'The Third Law' in this." Oleg smiled, "So there's no need to be worried about this, if something goes wrong, I'll tell that it was all my idea from the beginning, the worse they will do is drive me out of Japan."
"Well, you are really risking a lot." Pavel didn't like the plan, "I hope you know what you're doing."
"Don't worry, I always do." Oleg replied and then came to the door, "Now, let's go and warm you up, you must be ready for the mission."
They went to the same training facility, Pavel came not long ago. The four people quickly changed their clothes and went to the free room; this place was with lots of obstacles, which could be met in battle.
"Well, the training will be next." Oleg said glancing at Chikeko, "First, Pavel fight both Tatsurou and Yukikaze, and then a teacher and a student with two students."
"Man, I have a bad feeling." Pavel rubbed his neck watching as Yukikaze took out her guns.
"What is it? Are you scared?" she chuckled, and pointed her gun at the boy, "Don't worry, we will kick your butt fast."
She shoot a lightning bolt Pavel, the boy quickly dodged it, and took out his sword. Maria and Oleg jumped away letting the young hunters to enjoy the fight. Pavel quickly ran behind one obstacle in order not be got by Yukikaze.
'Damn, I have to be careful or they will get me really fast.' Pavel thought and then heard something.
"I see you!" he heard a merry female voice; he raised his head and saw Yukikaze.
"Shit!" Pavel quickly jumped away from the line of fire.
Pavel jumped onto another obstacle and then jumped onto the one where Yukikaze was. He wanted to give her a slice, but Tatsurou block the strike in time. Tatsurou pushed Pavel and did a swing with his sword creating a wind blade. Pavel dodged it, and then jumped back to Yukikaze.
"How do you think has he got a chance against both of them?" Chikeko asked him.
"Well, difficult to say." Oleg pondered, "Tatsurou and Yukikaze have a dangerous teamwork, but knowing Tatsurou he can some mistake, which can be dangerous in battle, I want to check will he do them or not."
"You're much kinder to Tatsurou than to your own pupil." Chikeko chuckled, "I don't think Pavel will be glad knowing you're making a laboratory mouse out of him."
"If only you won't tell him about that." Oleg replied watching at Chikeko.
"Listen, how about to go to hot springs on our vacation? You've said I can ask everything so how about that?" Chikeko decided to remember what she could have when she agreed to take part in that venture.
"Do you mean you have mixed hot springs?" Oleg was surprised of what he'd just heard.
"Well, they're created for elder hunters, not for students." Chikeko explained, "So no one will see us there."
Oleg didn't know what to answer, he looked at Chikeko and some perverted scenes started to appear in his head. The silver haired girl was beautiful and cooked really well. But Oleg quickly stopped thinking about it and answered.
"Well, we'll see."
"I'll take it as yes." she smiled.
While the teacher had a talk Pavel thought how to give even a single scratch to Tatsurou or Yukikaze. Their work was really fearsome, but still not perfect as wanted, so Pavel started to think how to break their work. First he wanted to deal with Yukikaze, but Tatsurou was always on time to protect his girlfriend. Then Pavel decided to focus on Tatsurou. When Tatsurou was about to give him another strike, Pavel took his sword in one hand.
'What is he planning?' Tatsurou thought.
And then saw how Pavel started to protect himself using only one arm. Pavel suddenly grabbed Tatsurou's arm and quickly kicked the boy at the stomach. Tatsurou leaned squatted and then Pavel did another kick at his chest, but when Tatsurou was kicked off. Yukikaze pointed her gun at Pavel from behind.
"Got you." she smirked.
"Yeah, I'll give up for now or you'll blow me up." the Russian chuckled, "You two are really formidable opponents."
"Yukikaze is doing everything fine." Chikeko said, as she and Oleg jumped to them, "Tatsurou you should focus more on your opponent, you thinking too much about Yukikaze, so you lost opportunities to attack."
"I got it." Tatsurou mumbled, Yukikaze responded nothing as her cheeks became slightly red.
"Well about you Pavel I have nothing to say, your fighting style is really good. And it was a surprise for me to see how you fight a two handed weapon with one."
"It was surprising for me too." Tatsurou nodded.
"Honestly, I don't like to fight it with one hand, as I had bad experience with it." Pavel looked at the sword.
"Have something messy happened?" Yukikaze asked him.
"Kinda, if not the help of my partners I would die during my mission." Pavel said, "So little by little I decided to improve that style."
"I don't know why you decided to use it not working it properly first." Oleg lectured him, but then decided to change the theme of their talk, "Well, let's continue our training, this time it'll be two on two."
Their training continued. This time Oleg was in pair with Tatsurou again Pavel and Yukikaze. The first team won, Oleg decided to use his telekinesis too. And it was difficult for Yukikaze to help Pavel, and repel the daggers of the teacher. However they could hold for a fine amount of time. Then Chikeko changed Oleg, and this time, Tatsurou was fighting along with Pavel against two ladies. The battle was won by female team; however Pavel and Tatsurou worked much better than he was working with Oleg.
After an hour the training was done Oleg and Chikeko decided to let the kids go, while the teachers decided to be in the room for a little longer. Oleg sat onto the floor and Chikeko did the same next to him.
"How do you think, will they be able to save Shiranui?" she asked him.
"I don't know, but they're not weak kids, under guide of division they'll definitely be able to do this."
"I hope you're right, they're going to a very risky mission, and there'll be no one to protect them, and if something happens to them, will be in charge of it."
"They understand what they're doing. And decision they did is not just the kids decision. On their place I would do the same." Oleg replied.
Chikeko put her hand onto Oleg's one, and mumbled, "Can I ask you about something? I know it can be a little selfish, but still…"
"What is it?" Oleg asked her, he wanted to hear something else but his lips were covered with Chikeko's.
"What was that for?" Oleg was slightly astonished when the kiss was broken.
"For helping us a lot." Chikeko said, "With your coming everything started to become better. I mean, not that it was really bad, but… How should I say it better…" Chikeko tried to find correct words.
But she was shocked, when she felt warmth by her cheek. Oleg gave her slight kiss too, "Do you want to confess you feelings? he asked her.
"Well… I think yes." she mumbled.
"I can answer your feeling right now." Oleg said watching at the roof, "Don't' think that I don't like or what, you're really a beautiful woman." Chikeko's cheeks became red, "But I must figure out in myself, however, maybe I will agree to start dating."
"Really?" the woman was surprised of such fare answer, "Then I'll wait for your answer." she smiled to herself.
"Damn bastard! Let us go at once!" the man shouted at the man in doctor's robe who was standing at the table sorting something out.
"Even in such position you are trying to demand something? Quite admirable." Etienne chuckled glancing at the man who was bound to a surgery table, "But on your place I'd try to bargain."
"What did you do to my man?!" the man shouted again, "You damn French freak."
"Nothing, they'll be my extra instances if nothing will be with you." Etienne said coming to two bulbs, he knocked with his finger by the bulbs and then inserted a Syringe inside of one of it.
"Doing my question?" Etienne heard a voice behind him.
"Yes." the man answered to the person behind, "I hope I'll give me some more of your blood? After all the second phase is starting."
"I thought, I should give it to you when I see the results, am I right?" Walter asked the French, but then chuckled, "Fine, I'll give it to you. However I have a question, will this vessel be able to hold the power of these ones?"
"I don't know the power of the ones I'm going to clone. So there's a fifty-fifty situation. I hope, everything will be fine, but I think ware to wait something not well."
"Let's not be so pessimistic." Walter chuckled watching how Etienne was walking from table to table.
"What the hell are you going to make to us?" the tied man asked them, "What the hell are you going to clone?"
Walter came to the man and watched straight at his eyes, the man became fearsome, and even his face could scare a lot even a strong willed person.
'His aura is very similar to Lord Black's one.' he thought, 'Who is that guy?'
"Have you ever heard about demon generals?" Walter asked him, however there was no answer, "Long ago, before you became smart and started to create countries, we possessed generals, and your precious Black was the general of mine. The creatures we want to resurrect are the generals, which were defeated long ago."
"That's why I don't think he is good for it, his vessel can be burnt. It would be better to have something as strong as Asagi Igawa." Etienne came to them holding a syringe in his hand.
"The problem is that she is quite formidable and difficult for catching." Walter chuckled.
"And it's saying the one, who proclaims himself stronger than Edwin Black."
Etienne grabbed the head of his victim and injected the contents of the syringe, when everything was done Etienne threw it away and came to his computers.
"Now we're only to wait." Etienne said, "However, if the vessel is not that strong it'll be easy for your friends to take over the power over their bodies, so maybe it'll be successful."
"Nice to hear that you found something optimistic in our work." Walter chuckled, but then stumbled for a second.
"What is it?" Etienne was worried of this reaction.
"Just a strange feeling." Walter responded, "I think the seal is about to reveal itself."
"And it'll be the third one; maybe I could send my beasts with you this time?" Etienne offered an idea.
"I don't know, but as Mystic told me, Taimanin and Russian hunters work together, and they will watch closely over the seals."
"Should we be careful?" Etienne smirked, "Just take that boy with you, I think he can give them some troubles."
"I can't he is still unstable." Walter replied, "I don't know how his power awakens, according with the words of one of these twins. He was able to release a small power of the demon inside of him, but still it's not enough for fighting these meddlesome hunters."
"Is it really that the first Demon Lord of the second line is inside of him?" Etienne narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." the Vampire King nodded.
"I can't get, how you lost, I mean the ten of you together could destroy everyone on your way, was mortals much stronger than you were?"
"Maybe I'll tell you everything later, but now we're to focus on our task." Walter replied with a chuckled, but still it was possible to see that his eyes were full of strange emotions, like anger and something else, which was difficult to describe.
'The hell their blubbering about? Demon Lords, General? Who're that guy?' the man was watching at Walter for the whole time.
"By the way are going somewhere these days?" Walter asked him.
"Depends on what you want." Etienne looked at his interlocutor.
"I wanted to lend this b oy to you along with Torch and that Izumi."
"No, I don't want to work with Naomi's scums; it was enough for me to work with her in Sapporo." Etienne was irritated of this notion.
"I see, then I'll ask Przemislav about it, I think he won't reject." Walter smiled.
They left the room leaving the man alone and continued their talk.
"You have got something in your mind, haven't you?" Etienne asked Walter seeing that the man was thinking about something really significant.
"Well, I just want to see the potential of Taimanin, but I don't know where to find a big amount of them." Walter replied, "I thought to attack them at their village, but I don't know it's location and at the same time it'll be suicide, even for me."
"Ha, mighty Walter is feared of some mortals, don't make me laugh." Etienne chuckled, "Why not to check it in some place where they, I don't know, rest?"
"Do you know such a place?" Walter asked him.
"No, but I think Naomi or Miyata must know, they're former Taimanin after all. So ask them." Etienne did a pause, "Do you want to send our demonic duo there?"
"No, I have someone I'll send there and if they grab some of them it'll be really good." the man in the armor chuckled.
Suddenly they felt cold around them and in some seconds they saw Celine in a company of Stephanie in front of them.
"Any news?" Walter asked the armored woman.
"No… Did found any Taimanin… Though…"
"What is it?" the second demon lord asked the third one.
"Feel strange… In kingdom…" Celine did a pause, "Perhaps… the revealing of the seal… is coming."
"Yes, I sensed it too, but it wasn't there, somewhere under the ground." Walter replied.
"Two at the same time?" Etienne was amused of these words, "How we will be able to deal with the two of them in one time?"
"It's still unknown, they can display themselves one after another, but if they do it in one time, we are to separate in two squads and deal with them." Walter suggested, "The only thing is to be in time to take good position by them."
"So any moves for right now?" Etienne asked him.
"No, right now we are only to wait." Walter replied, he wanted to say something else, but Celine didn't give him such an opportunity.
"Have a favor…" she said as she came to him.
"What is it?" Walter asked her in answer.
"Your bone, give it." Celine exhaled a cold steam.
"What?"
"Was said… your bone… a fragment."
"Why do you need it?" Walter narrowed his eyes, and glanced at Stephanie, who felt herself strange in presence of all these people.
"No need to know… only give it…" Celine still was persistent.
"And if I reject?"
"Favor must… be paid… return a debt… for using my powers." Celine replied with a firm voice.
"So you decided to act like that." the vampire sighed, "Fine." a bone appeared out of his wrist,, he broke it and stretched to Celine, "Don't miss it." he chuckled and waved to Celine, "Right now you can be free I'll contact you when I need you."
Celine only nodded and then disappeared with Stephanie in a cold steam.
"Do you think we'll be able to find something there that way?" Shizuru asked Murasaki walking by the streets of industrial park.
"Of course, it won't work, but we are to try to find something that will help is to know about this weapon, and since that attack messed our plans we're to do at least something in order to get even small information about it."
"Well, I hope no one will attack us there." Shizuru said pondering watching at a big factory that was in front of them.
They reached the portal monitoring and showed some documents to the security. After some minutes of checking, the ladies were passed, and then were told to wait for the director of the factory. After some period of time they saw, a pretty muscular man in black official suit. He was pretty handsome.
"Nice to see that such beautiful Taimanin, decided to check my facility?" Sasaki Tekumi said to the ladies.
"Yes, we had an order to check in order to know has your factories some defect or not." Murasaki quickly found what to say.
"Ah, an excessive unrest." Sasaki smiled, watching at them, "No problems, if you want to watch I can't forbid you, but I will warn you ahead that you won't find any defects." he stretched his hand showing the girls the way where they should go, "I also wanted to thank you." he suddenly said to them, "For saving my life, as I remember it right you were working with some other Taimanin, weren't you?"
"Yes, we received information, that someone will disturb the expo, so we sent to prevent this attempt." Shizuru answered to him, "By the way that person, who attacked the expo, he was like hunting at you, don't you know him?" Shizuru asked him.
"No, I don't know who that crazy man is." Sasaki answered with a sigh, "I work for government, so it's obviously I'll have some hidden enemy and haters."
"Do you know, who wanted your death?" Murasaki asked straight.
"I think I won't be a helper to you in that question." Sasaki shook with his head, "If I knew, I would inform the government."
"Your truth." Murasaki nodded, understanding that it's truth.
They were in the inner yard of the factory; they went to some building that was on their right. When they entered it they saw a workshop of assembling of mere robots, which looked like humans. The people who were there were only controlling the main process of the working.
"There we make simple robots, which you use in your daily trainings." Sasaki declared to the woman, "You can watch everything carefully." he smiled to them.
Murasaki was glad that the man didn't resist and started to examine the workshop. It took pretty much time for examining it, Shizuru also talked with people inside, trying to know about atmosphere of the factory. They even saw ready cyborgs. Then they went to the other workshop the procedure was the same, however there was the place where weapons were created. Although they were created for the army, Murasaki decided to check it too. On their way, the phone of Sasaki suddenly called.
"I'm sorry, don't you mind if I leave you for a second?" the man asked the ladies, "It's important." the women didn't mind, and then man came on a distance from them, "Yes, I'm busy right now, what do you mean you're here? If you wait won't it be bad? Fine I'll come right now." the man spitted, Sasaki put his phone back into his pocket and thought, "Ladies, I'm sorry, but I have to leave you for now. If something will be needed, just ask someone around, and everyone will gladly help you."
"Work is always in front of everything." Shizuru chuckled at his words.
"I'm sorry, but that it is." he smiled too, "I hope you'll be glad of what you'll see here." he waved them and then went to the exit of the workshop.
"It's strange." Murasaki pondered, "To leave an important delegation in the middle of excursion, he has really important guests."
"Maybe something urgent." Shizuru shrugged with her shoulders, "It's a factory after all."
"Let's keep an eye on him." Murasaki said and both of them disappeared fast.
'That damn Yazaki, why the hell he came during the daytime?' Sasaki thought, while he was walking outdoors, to the main building, which was pretty big and fancy, 'If these damn Taimanin know about our relations, I'll have lots of problems. Has he come because of the project or something has happened?'
The man increased his pace, interest took him, he wanted to know why that fat man wanted to see him so badly, so he didn't want lose much time.
When Sasaki finally came to his office he saw, a fat man in official suit had been already there, he was sitting on the sofa and crossed his legs waiting for the director of the factory.
"What made you to come so unexpectedly?" Sasaki asked Munechi as the man entered the office.
"With what you were so busy?" the man asked Sasaki with not hidden interest.
"With Taimanin." he merely replied, "They came to the factory to check what's going o here. I think they somehow knew about my project."
"How is it possible?" Munechi became serious, "Have you got a rat in your factory?"
"I don't know, but if they're here, then it must be something significant." the man did a pause; "However, I don't think they could know about it. I think they're here, because of the attack on expo."
"I've read." Munechi said, "If that's the only case of their coming then there's nothing serious. But I have bad news for you, have you watched that interview?" Munechi threw a newspaper onto the table of Sasaki.
"What is it?" he took it and then started to read it, "Wow, that's really unexpectedly!" Sasaki almost shouted, "What them made unite their parties, I thought Nakamura would never let her party join someone else."
"As I knew Nakamura was killed." Munechi said leaning onto the back of the sofa.
"Who was behind it?"
"I don't know, but I know for sure that unity is good for those, who stand behind it."
"Could it be NOMAD?" Sasaki asked him.
"I don't know, but I don't think that it was their work. They have no intentions to work with the party of Taimanin, and the worst thing, now they have as much votes as my party have." Munechi hit the armrest.
"It'll be problematic for us. No doubt they'll block your ideas and laws." Sasaki put the newspaper onto the table, "What are you going to do now?"
"I'll try to remove all these scums one by one! And that's why I came."
"To take some of my robots." Sasaki chuckled, "I don't think it'll be good to act right now, I have two Taimanin on my ass, and if Nakamura is dead, I can imagine how scared and frightened they are."
"So what do you offer?"
"To sit tightly right now. Forget that you're connected with criminal and wait, I'll do this." Sasaki said.
"I thought you'd act out of curtains." Munechi chuckled.
"I will, but now as bold as before. I'll send several robots to deal with these Taimanin, they'll be good things for my projects and especially Yatsu Murasaki."
"She is here?"
"Yes, that's why I'm nervous. She is along with Kousaka Shizuru, so that's why I have a very messy position." Sasaki replied and looked at the computer, which was on his table.
"One of the bases of Kuroi was attacked." Munechi said after a brief pause, "He asked me to say you to send some cyborgs there."
"Got it." the fat man got up, and decided to leave, "That's all what I wanted to say, I hope you'll do something on the themes we've discussed."
"I'll do." Sasaki's face was serious, and when Munechi left he thought, 'And I'll deal with some little rats.'
