A beautiful sunset was present. A girl was looking at the sunset with a sad look while her hair was moving her hair.

"Tats-chan." The little girl turned around only to see a group of people, but mostly, a certain girl leading the group.

"Momoyo." Tatsu whispered looking at the girl.


That scene was happening again. The place was filled with tension as both girls are now facing each other. Tatsu slowly walked towards Momoyo while the other girl followed suit.

"It's been a long time, you promised you were going to write." Momoyo said with a smile while Tatsu was serious.

"Life is sometimes full of disappointments. As time went by my priorities passed over my memories, Momo-chan. You have changed a lot, and I also see that you have become stronger." Said the Asian girl making her childhood friend laugh.

"You've gotten stronger too. And I see you met someone who gives me a fight." Momoyo said looking at me.

"Tats-chan. It's been a long time." Yamato said before approaching the girl.

"What happened to you? We thought you would never come back." Shinna said in surprise looking at the Asian girl.

"I had a pending promise. A lot happened on my journey to my new home, he helped me remember this promise." Tatsu said looking at me making me come closer.

"My name is Benjamín Escudero. I am a friend of Tatsu's, she lives with me in Metropolis." I said looking at the Asian girl's friends.

"I heard a lot of things about Metropolis. According to the news, they talk about that city being the most frequent to attacks by monsters and multiple threats, but they also talk about heroes from that city. Supergirl, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Bumblebee, Zatanna, Green Lantern, Superman."

"But there's also talk of a particular hero who has unique abilities. Umm, elemental mage." Christiane said looking at me making Tatsu and I look at each other with concern.

"Do you think I should?" I asked with concern. Tatsu looked at his friends and nodded silently.

"I am the elemental magician. I am a student from the metropolis but when crime appears, so am I. The outfit I wear in this afternoon's fight is the same one I wear to fight, and that trench coat, I wear it before a fight." I said before pointing to the trench coat that Momoyo had. Everyone looked at this with surprise but then I saw the girl laugh.

"It's amazing, I just fought a hero and the best of all is that I beat him." Momoyo said with a smile before trapping me in a wrestling hold.

"Momoyo-senpai, have more respect, he's a hero!!" Yukie yelled trying to help me as I struggled to get free.

"Tatsu. I don't think you came solely for Momoyo, do you?" Yamato asked looking at the girl, but she turned cold hearing that.

"My promise is the reason I'm here. Nothing more." Tatsu said seriously as Momoyo let go of me.

"I see. Alright, in that case I'm ready." Momoyo said before getting into a fighting pose just like Tatsu. That surprised me a lot.

"Tatsu, don't do it. It's suicide." I said worried but the girl didn't seem to pay attention to my warning and she only put her hand on the hilt of her katana.

"Don't intervene, Benja. This is between her and me." Tatsu said seriously but suddenly I saw Yamato interfere between the two of them.

"Stop, stop!! Wait, we haven't seen each other in years. Besides, Momoyo, Tatsu is very tired and so is Benja. Why shouldn't we go home for dinner and fight another day?" Yamato asked with concern. Momoyo paused for a moment to think and then rolled her eyes.

"Very good. You saved yourself this time Tatsu, but remember. We still have a fight pending." The girl said with a smile looking at the Asian girl. Tatsu nodded silently and put his sword back in its sheath.


We were all now at Yukie's house, the girl and her mother were very kind in preparing dinner. Although part of me wanted to help, I was just recovering from my fight with Momoyo so my muscles were aching. I can still feel the power of the girl's blows.

"Go ahead, please eat." Yukie said before finishing serving the food. There was white rice, sushi, curry, meat with vegetables, breaded and fried meat, fried chicken. When I saw all the food I was very shocked as was Tatsu.

"Yukie, don't you think that. That's a lot of food?" I asked in shock seeing the enormous amount of food on the table while everyone else was eating dinner quietly.

"Oh. Well, I usually cook for everyone, but don't worry, I'm used to cooking. Go ahead and eat, please." Yukie said with a smile. I nodded and grabbed a bowl of rice before helping myself to some chicken and meat.

The moment I took the first bite my eyes shot open. The consistency was smooth and pleasant, the flavors were a huge explosion, no seasoning was overshadowed by another, and that bite was enough to awaken a bigger appetite in my stomach.

"This is delicious!!." I couldn't help but scream before grabbing some more food and starting to eat happily. Tatsu was also going through the same thing and started eating the same way as me.

"Thank you very much Benja, I feel honored to have a hero compliment me on my food." Yukie said with a shy smile and a small pink tint on her cheeks.

"I can't help it. Yukie, I have no doubt that you would make a wonderful wife in the future." I said with a smile but then my face turned very red with embarrassment. My mind shut down due to the food and I spoke without thinking, the girl's face turned red too and we both looked away in shame.

"Wow Yukie. I didn't spend a day here and you already stole the heart of a hero?" Momoyo asked with her mouth full and in a mocking tone. That made the girl and I more tense and nervous.

"Yukie you don't have to be ashamed, imagine your life with him. Don't you think that your future children would be powerful with their magic and your swordsman skills." Matsukaze said in a mocking tone which made the girl and I much more tense.

"Matsukaze shut up!!." Yukie and I screamed in embarrassment and hid our faces in shame. Everyone looked confused but laughed at what Momoyo said earlier.

"Now that we talk about heroes. I'm surprised by how Momoyo managed to defeat a hero, I knew the strength she had, but I never thought it would be so great." Kazuko said with slight surprise. She was aware of her sister's destructive power, but she never believed it would be such a high level.

"Don't be too surprised, Kazuko. For the first time someone managed to give me a decent fight, maybe Benja and I will have a rematch after this dinner." Momoyo said with an evil smile making me feel a chill all over my spine. It's only been three hours since our fight and suddenly she has more strength to fight me.

"Momoyo, maybe you should let Benja rest. He looks very exhausted after the fight. Why don't you do it tomorrow?" Christiane asked with concern. Momoyo was upset by that but then crossed her arms.

"Okay, we'll leave the fight for tomorrow." The girl said seriously but with a smile looking at me. I was scared and internally I was praying that my magic would recover quickly or that at least Momoyo would forget the fight.

"Tatsu. I'm really surprised you're back but where are your parents? We haven't heard from them in a long time." Yamato said curiously but we all heard something break and when we turned our heads we saw that Tatsu broke his chopsticks with his fingers.

"Tatsu?" I asked with concern putting my hand on the girl's shoulder, that made her react and made her come to her senses.

"Sorry. Umm, my parents are fine, they've just been busy with work, don't worry Yamato. They're fine." Tatsu said with a smile. Everyone seemed to believe those words, but I could see that her smile was fake. However, I decided to remain silent and continue eating, perhaps it would be better to ask another time.


After dinner. We all went to our rooms, Yukie and I are going to share a room together and Tatsu would sleep with Momoyo. The room looked clean and tidy, and Yukie's sword was displayed on the wall. Right now she and Matsukaze had gone to take a shower, so I took the opportunity to put my things away but then a voice whispered to me.

"Benja, can you hear me?" It was the voice of Momoyo the fire magician.

"Momoyo, is that you?" I asked quietly as I stood up.

"Listen. I need to talk to you in private, it's a serious topic. But we're going to have to talk in a place where we can be alone, please let's go to the forest where you and your friend were. Hurry up, I don't know how long the connection will last." Momoyo said seriously and worried.

After the brief talk, I left the room and went through the corridors, but I never noticed that Momoyo was following me behind me. When the girl left the house she saw that I was flying away so she started running with all her strength to follow me.


After a couple of minutes. I reached the forest where the fight was before and landed in a clear place, meanwhile, Momoyo stayed hidden behind a tree.

"Why did you ask me to come here, Momoyo?" I asked curiously looking around us. Tatsu's childhood friend was confused but then she heard a voice that made her heart freeze.

"Because we must talk. The fight you had was with the girl I told you about, that girl, Momoyo. She is my descendant, she is the last fire mage in the world." Momoyo said seriously. That surprised me a lot and at the same time worried me.

"So she's the inheritor of the Kawakami fire like me. But what can I do? I mean, she's clearly much stronger than me, too. What can I teach her that I don't know? I fought with a lot of my magic and I couldn't even get a scratch." I said with concern as I cross my arms.

"She is superior to you in strength and defense, but you are stronger in the use of elemental magic. If it weren't for the fact that many of your spells are blocked, surely you would have managed to give her an even greater fight. But now listen to me." Momoyo's statement made me listen carefully.

"This will be very important. Although you have mastered combat moves from our family, you are just at the roots of our potential. If you want to be stronger, you will have to train with Momoyo and you will have to teach her how to activate her magic, she doesn't knows, but within her heart there is a much greater power that is hidden and she cannot awaken."

"I may be asking something enormous of you, but you must understand that it is for the good of both of us. She will teach you everything about the Kawakami style, and you will teach her to have a path so that you can teach her everything about her ancestors and the fire that there is inside his heart, you will just have to be patient." Momoyo said seriously making me nod.

"I understand. I better return home, I'll think of something to ask Momoyo to help me train, I just hope she accepts me." I said before flying away. But I never realized that Tatsu's best friend had heard everything and was shocked before following me.

Momoyo was shocked. Her mind struggled to process everything, at first she thought I was talking to myself, but everything changed when the voice whispered in her ear as well as the chat. She couldn't believe what she heard, her mind was conflicted whether to believe or not. Suddenly she stopped dead before changing direction and heading in another direction.


In a monastery somewhat far from the city. The director of the academy was sitting meditating with candles around him, suddenly the old man opens his eyes as he senses a presence, a presence that he easily recognized.

"Momoyo. I certainly didn't expect your visit." The old man said with some seriousness while the girl stood behind him with her arms crossed.

"Was there a girl named Momoyo before me?" The sudden question took the old man by surprise and suddenly there was an almost profound silence in the room.

"Well? Are you going to answer or not?" Momoyo asked, already impatient for answers. The old man got up and with a single movement of his arm he extinguished all the candles at the same time.

"I thought this day would never come." The man turned and walked to the side of the room. The old man placed his hands on the ground and slowly opened a secret compartment. Momoyo was shocked, she knew the monastery perfectly and never found that passage.

The man put his hands in and pulled out a huge book full of dirt, dust and cobwebs. He blew and the dust scattered as if the book was going to vanish, he walked to a small pedestal and he put the book there before opening it.

"Momoyo. There are things you don't know about our lineage, I hid this and I hoped I could tell it on my deathbed. But it seems that the day came faster than I would have imagined." The girl walked to where the old man is and she saw a hand-drawn image, a version of her in Aztec clothing fighting fiercely.

"You see Momoyo. We were not only pure-blood warriors with unique abilities. It all began a long time ago, it is said that the first heir of the Kawakami lineage was an ancient monk named Enji Kawakami. His life was discipline and martial arts, It was said that he would go days without eating just to train until his body collapsed."

"Everyone thought he was crazy. His training methods were beyond what any man or woman could tolerate, he carried rocks on his shoulders, every day more rocks got bigger, he ran in the rain and did exercises in the mud, and he even trained using trees as punching bags, the monks had to stop him when he managed to knock down a tree with his bare hands."

"What does this have to do with the girl I told you about?" Momoyo asked seriously, but then she saw the old man raise his hand making the girl silent.

"One night, a monk asked Enji, why did he punish his body? Why did he push himself to the point of breaking his bones every day? He didn't say anything, he breathed heavily and then he spoke."

"Many years ago. My birth was given in my home, the moment I was born, my parents explained that the fire of the candles had changed when my cry was heard throughout the monastery. My childhood, discipline and training, was not It wasn't until I was fifteen that I realized something inside me, something, that demanded I get out."

"It was in a moment of crisis, where some samurai came to my home to attack my family, my father and I fought, but despite our efforts, we were both defeated. I saw it all, my home being consumed by flames, our friends being murdered without honor and without mercy, but what topped everything was seeing my mother being brutally murdered."

"The fire was so hypnotic, the anger was setting my body on fire like a volcanic eruption, my blood was boiling and as hot as lava, I felt like my body was regenerating its wounds and the anger was manifesting like a spirit in me would have taken over. control of everything."

"The samurai tried to make me fall again by hitting my body with their swords, but that pain was nothing compared to what they had done. I released an enormous amount of anger, as if from a hardened god. When my anger dissipated, I saw before my eyes that everything was in ruins."

"The entire Monastery was being consumed by flames, bodies were incinerated, trees were being reduced to ashes. My body, despite feeling hell around me, I could not feel that burning fire around me. I left the monastery, the honor in me was no longer there, I failed with my only purpose which was to protect my family and everyone I cared about that night."

"Since that fateful night, the fire has never left my veins. I decided to continue training with the aim of being able to understand this gift that is inside me, training, although dangerous, is the only way for that fire to appear inside me and help me , in the same way that it helped me before."

"Enough!." Momoyo hit the floor hard, generating almost infinite silence in the room.

"I came here looking for answers, not to listen to silly fairy tales!!." The girl screamed seriously, but despite that, the old man remained calm and relaxed before sighing.

By simply raising his hand, the old man created a sphere of fire in his palm, which left Momoyo in shock while she stared at the weak living flame that was now in front of her eyes.

"This, Momoyo. It is our legacy, it is the legacy of all previous Kawakami." The man said before closing the book and turning to look at the girl.

"Your parents asked me to never tell you this. But from what I see, the day has come and at the worst of times. There are many things you should know about your ancestors, but I see that you are not ready yet." The old man said before walking out of the room.

Suddenly, the old man had to raise his forearm to intercept a blow from Momoyo, the attack had been so strong that even the man's clothes had shaken from such force.

"Think about it Momoyo. You master every branch of our family's ability, but you don't know its origins, I offer you knowledge. I didn't say you should consume it all at once, but maybe you should think for a moment about the blood in you, maybe even find answers to your questions." The girl sighed in annoyance and moved her leg away from the old man's forearm.

"You say that that book will have the answers to everything that happened to me these days? Why have you never told me before, old man?" Momoyo asked seriously making the old man stroke his beard silently.

"You rarely visit me anymore. I thought you would be more focused on finding worthy opponents and I even thought you would want to discover your abilities on your own." Momoyo didn't say anything because of the old man's words and looked at the book on the pedestal in silence.

"Now, if you want me to help you. Maybe maybe you could do me a favor and wear your swimming uniform." The old man turned around with a perverted smile but that smile disappeared when he saw that Momoyo had disappeared. The man walked and saw that the book was not there either.

"Good luck Momoyo, you're going to need it." The old man said with a small smile before looking for a moment at an old photo of him with a woman and a man of the same age.

"She's ready, I hope." The old man left the photograph on the pedestal before silently leaving the room.


The next day, we are all in the dining room having breakfast. Tatsu and I were happily eating Yukie's food, the girl is undoubtedly an expert in cooking not only in the sword.

"Careful guys, you're going to lose a finger." Tatsu and I turned red with embarrassment at what Yukie's mother said and we both smiled shyly.

"We're so sorry, Yukie cooks too well." I said shyly while Tatsu nodded his head. Yukie's food was like a sweet caress to the palate.

"Thank you, Benja though, you don't need to say those things." Yukie said with her face red due to her embarrassment.

"It seems that Benja touched you deeply because of what he said last night, Yukie. You're still as red as a tomato." Matsukaze said in a joking tone. Those words made the girl and I turn as red as apples.

"Hey, has anyone seen Yamato?" I turned around upon hearing Tatsu's sudden question, although that was true. The teenager was not present at breakfast like all of us.

"I think he left for school early, it seems there was an emergency." Christiane said with some seriousness. That made Tatsu and I look at each other with slight concern. Was it because of what happened yesterday?.


"I looked for him everywhere. In the city, in the forest, I didn't leave any rock unturned, but still. He never showed up." said a man with makeup looking at a paper in his hand. When he put the paper down, he stared at each student in the room who was serious.

"Well? Is anyone interested? Come on, forty-nine, or maybe forty-eight?" The man asked with a slight hint of desperation in his voice as he looked at all the students.

"200 coupons."

"What!?." Everyone looked at Yamato, some saw the teenager with surprise and others with intrigue due to the exaggerated, if not absurd, increase in the reward price.

"200 coupons. Not one more, not one less." Yamato said with his arms crossed looking at everyone.

"You should know Yamato, we don't accept any kind of jokes like that here." The made-up man said seriously, but the teenager didn't seem to laugh or show any emotion.

"How long exactly has he been missing?" That simple question, although harmless, was like a bullet straight to the chest for the man.

"Two weeks ago." The man responded although with slight regret in his voice.

"Isn't what I'm asking for crazy then? Obviously, asking for such an important mission for such a low price, that seems reasonable? 200 coupons is more than reasonable and I'm being honest, for forty-eight or forty-nine. Tell me, Would anyone here accept?" Yamato stared at his companions and no one deigned to speak.

"Very well. Yamato, as the only student here offering you this kind of mission, I will pay your price. I just hope you know what you are doing." The man said seriously. The teen smiled triumphantly at that statement and bowed before leaving the room.


After eating breakfast and cleaning the dishes to help Yukie, we received a call from Yamato, according to Christine, he told us that we were going to have a meeting between everyone, so, after dressing, the girls grabbed their weapons and we went out to a building that was somewhat removed from the city, it almost seemed abandoned.

"Benja, can we stop for a while to talk?" Tatsu asked just as we were close to entering the building.

"Sure, umm. We'll catch up with you guys right away." I said before approaching Tatsu while the others entered the building.

"Benja. I was thinking, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but maybe it would be better if you went back to Metropolis, you've done enough and. Because of me, now possibly this entire city knows your secret identity." Tatsu said seriously but at the same time worried.

Unfortunately that was true. While we were watching television at Yukie's house, the news spread faster than I could imagine, the academy fight was broadcast throughout the city. The news couldn't stop talking about the brutal fight between Momoyo and mine, and even showing devastated parts of the fight.

"Tatsu, this wasn't your fault, I chose to fight. I never felt so alive in that fight, I let my instincts get out of control. But, I won't give up, I said I was going to stay and help you and I'm not going to leave anytime soon most minimal." I said seriously. The girl sighed before laughing and smiling slightly.

"You're just like Diana, she really taught you discipline." I smiled with a small blush of embarrassment. The Amazon warrior taught me to never flank.

"Thanks, Tatsu. Umm, let's go to where the others are." I said with a shy smile before entering the building. The girl smiled with a small giggle before following me.

"Guys, is everything okay?" Kazuko asked curiously while Tatsu and I entered the room where everyone is.

"Yes, don't worry Kazuko." Tatsu said with a smile as she and I sat on a couch next to Yukie and Christiane.

"So, what were you talking about?" I asked curiously looking at everyone. At that moment Coockie approached me while he lowered a small tablet that seemed to show a news story.

"We talked about Yamato managing to make a deal for 200 food coupons." I said Coockie, but that left me confused as well as Tatsu.

"Exactly what are food stamps?" I asked curiously making Christiane look at me.

"They are a form of payment for the food we eat, because we live together at Yukie's house, these coupons help us get discounts on food." Tatsu and I understood, but we couldn't help but feel a little bad, we arrived without prior notice and ate like savages probably with the coupons that everyone had used for themselves.

"By the way, did anyone see Cap?" Yukie asked curiously, Kazuko at that moment looked at her cell phone upon receiving a message.

"It seems that he will be very late, he says that a tire on his bicycle burst." The girl said looking at her phone for a moment before looking at Yamato.

"What will happen to him if he doesn't come?" The girl asked curiously.

"Who do not work, do not eat." Yamato said looking at Kazuko. That didn't seem very fair to me, but I stayed silent, it's partly true, it's not acceptable for one to receive a payment for someone who didn't contribute.

"Something told me this was going to happen, so I had to do the multiplications by ten." The teenager said looking at the girl. Kazuko at that moment began to do beads with her fingers which made us all break out in anime-style sweat.

"Umm, see. There are ten of us and there are 200 coupons in total." Kazuko seemed to be trying to think about when the Friday distribution would be while we all had a nervous smile.

"I'm surprised, Yamato. I'm impressed by the fact that you're bidding for such a large sum." Miyako said with a small smile looking at the teenager.

"It was an emergency call during the night. I figured he would pay even more if the fee went up a little more." Yamato said while Coockie took popcorn out of his mouth and placed it in a bucket before giving it to the boy.

"Wow Yamato, you are quite a strategist. Is acting cold towards me also your strategy?" Miyako asked with a dreamy smile, but Yamato seemed to ignore her. I don't deny it, I felt a little uncomfortable because of the coldness.

"Also, since we have won the Kawakami class war, the S class will surely be on the sidelines for a while." Although everyone seemed happy remembering that victory. Tatsu and I didn't feel very comfortable about it due to our hero identity in the light, while eyes were fixed on me.

"I see. That means we have complete freedom to demand any price since there is no competition." said one of the boys who helped in the fight yesterday with a smile. The lack of competition made everything much easier.

"I'm not surprised." We all looked at Christiane, the girl seemed very serious.

"Auctions are meant to be fair transactions." The girl delicately held the cup of tea from her and took a sip before putting the cup down.

"Wouldn't it be fairer if the bidders had a fair agreement? It wouldn't be fair if the bidders had a prior agreement." The girl said with seriousness in her voice while Yamato was calmly eating Coockie's popcorn.

"We've been accepting applications at incredibly low prices just for fun. Don't you think that's fairer, Chris?" The teenager asked, looking at the girl. The girl didn't say anything and simply looked away.

"Besides, there is a popular saying here: It is a man's shame not to accept a woman's seduction." Here in Japan, it goes against the moral code not to take advantage of opportunities." Yamato said with a smile. That left me intrigued, I could swear that Christiane also seemed to have the same intrigue as me.

"Well, if that's what the moral code says. Then we shouldn't waste the opportunity." The girl said looking at Yamato.

"Yes, Kuri. There's nothing wrong with a little extra money from time to time. Mayucchi, you agree, don't you?" Kazuko asked with a smile. However, that made Yukie very nervous and tense.

"Eh!? Don't ask me, it would be terribly rude of me to butt in and say my own opinions." The girl said nervously looking at Momoyo's sister.

"There's nothing wrong with giving your opinion, Yukie." The girl looked and she saw Tatsu and me.

"What you say Tatsu is true, Yukie. There is nothing wrong, nor is it rude for you to say your point of view on the matter, we are in this together and we listen to each other right?" I asked with a smile while the Asian girl next to me nodded her head. That made Yukie smile shyly.

"Yes, come on Mayuuchi, don't you want the food stamps too?" Kazuko asked with a smile. That made Yukie nervous again.

"Well, I would. But surely Mayucchi would miss her chance to prepare more food boxes for Yamato, or perhaps for her new fiancé, Benja." Matsukaze said. Those words made me very red and Yukie became even more nervous before grabbing the little wooden horse.

"I don't know about you, but Yukie would probably be very jealous or nervous." The girl trembled with nerves because of her partner's words.

"What are you saying, matsukaze!? I never said that!" The girl said nervously but that caused beads of sweat to break out in many of those present in the room.

"Hey, Mayuuchi. Why do you always talk with your cell phone charm?" Kazuko asked with a slight hint of embarrassment in her voice.

"It's Matsukaze, it's a spiritual artifact that completely possessed the ornament." Yukie said before showing the small horse to Kazuko. However, that made the red-haired girl narrow her eyes at her.

"That's your way of explaining it, huh?" Kazuko asked. Internally I wanted to say my opinion, but I don't know if it would be a good idea to demonstrate more of my magical abilities.

"Yes, even among spiritual items, I am a celebrity of noble lineage." Matsukaze said in an attempt to answer Kazuko. I heard that, internally now it made me want to talk more with Yukie to get to know Matsukaze more, and maybe when I return to Metropolis I will ask Giovanni for more books about spirited objects.

"By the way, the application was officially accepted. There are no complaints in the slightest." Yamato said before continuing to eat.

"In that case we will have to start, Tatsu and I will help, that way we will do it faster and without problems." I said smiling but then I felt a chill when I felt arms around me.

"Oh, I have a complaint." Tatsu also noticed something on his neck and saw an arm. Suddenly, she and I were caught in a strong and powerful wrestling hold by Momoyo.

"Yesterday, I was supposed to have a fight with you Tatsu, and instead we just went to eat, and you, hero. Yesterday's fight wasn't enough for me, I want a rematch, do you understand me?" the girl asked with a smile while Tatsu and I struggled to free ourselves from the hold and at the same time, painfully grabbed the girl.

"Momoyo, forgive me, I was very tired and so was Benja. I promise you that you will have the fight I promised, I swear." Tatsu said with difficulty because the air was running out.

"Yes, me too, I promise that when this is over we will have a rematch, I promise!" I said with difficulty. The girl had a strength that could be compared to Kara. Everyone smiled a little nervously while Momoyo let go of Tatsu and me so she could breathe.

"Of course, Momoyo-senpai was waiting for a long time to fight Tatsu, and now with Benja it is more than obvious that her desire to fight is greater now." One of the guys in the room said while the Asian girl and I were massaging our sore necks.

"Okay, so what's the job?" Momoyo asked with a smile looking at Yamato.


Momoyo's smile disappeared in a blink as the mission was now explained. We are all now in the city center with many papers in our hands for homework. Search and rescue, of a dog.

"A dog. A fucking dog!? You must be kidding me!" Everyone moved quickly but I didn't react in time and was caught in a strong wrestling hold due to Momoyo's anger.

"Momoyo you must calm down, and please let go of Benja!" Yukie shouted with concern as she saw that the grip was now stronger than before.

"Momoyo wait, at least let me explain!!." Yamato shouted while Tatsu and Christiane helped me get out of Momoyo's grip.

"Benja, are you okay?" Tatsu asked with concern while I was catching my breath.

"I think I saw Zeus claiming my soul from Hades." I said with little oxygen while the girl and Christiane helped me stand up.

"This dog belongs to the history teacher, Maro." Yamato said looking at the wanted poster that he placed a moment ago on a light poster.

"I shouldn't have expected something so important, it's nothing more than a mix of public and private matters." Miyako said with slight disappointment in his voice.

"Well, to summon so many people with great urgency, it is because perhaps it must be very important to him." Tatsu said looking at the dog on the poster.

"In any case, first and foremost should be the search for information. Moro and Gakuto are asking through the web for any information about people who may have seen him. In the meantime, we should all search on foot. So We are looking for information both online and locally." Yamato said looking at everyone.

"That's a good idea. That way we'll cover each place faster to find the dog." I said smiling looking at Yamato while he nodded.

"Alright, let's start the search." Kazuko said with a smile full of enthusiasm.

"But is it legal to put up all these signs anywhere without any permission?" Christiane asked curiously, looking at us.

"But is it legal to put up all these signs anywhere without any permission? It could ruin the city's landscape for citizens and tourists." Christiane said with some concern looking at us. At that moment Yamato looked away in silence and I could see that Tatsu also seemed to be going through the same thing.

"Umm, we'll only use the posters temporarily." Yamato and Tatsu looked at me as did the rest of the others.

"I said, we are looking for the dog by all means. If we manage to find him today, we can remove all the posters before anyone can complain, that way we will avoid problems, right?" I asked with a shy smile. That made my friends smile.

"That's true, we don't have to worry, this will be very fast." Yamato said with a smile looking at me.

"Only, we have a problem." We all turned to see Kazuko.

"The photograph looks very old and blurry, don't you think that makes the search very difficult?" We all look at the photo. Although the image of the dog was more or less visible, we could not deny that someone could easily get confused or not see it properly if they do not stop to look at it carefully.

"It's the only photo we have available." Yamato said with some disappointment. He was also upset because this was the only photo to use.

"Hey, bitch. You're the same species, so maybe there might be something to this photo." Christiane said seriously looking at Kazuko. Tatsu and I were shocked by those cold and cruel words.

"That's very rude. Not even I can do anything with a photo like that." The red-haired girl said seriously before approaching and sniffing the poster as if she were a sniffer dog.

"It doesn't even have a smell." Tatsu and I fell on our backs like an anime upon seeing and hearing what Kakuzu said.

"Hey, can you really find anything just by smelling it?" Matsukaze asked curiously but then we saw that Kazuko's hair stood up like dog ears.

"Oh, I found it." Kazuko said looking in one direction. That surprised me as did Tatsu and Matsukaze.

"Oh really!?." We all looked in the direction and tensed seeing the dog in front of us staring at us.

"It's the history teacher, Maro. Only with a necklace around his neck." Kazuko said with a smile looking at the dog while we were all still surprised.

"Incredible. As I expected from someone of the same species." Christiane said. That made Kazuko's vein throb and her smile was trembling.

"People say that dogs look like their masters." Miyako said looking at the dog. At that moment Tatsu and I thought about the dog and then we imagined Professor Maro, that made us have many question marks in our heads now due to our curiosity.

"Leave it to me!" Suddenly we saw Miyako take out the bow and arrows from him which surprised us a lot.

"Wait Miyako, I saw what you are capable of on the battlefield, with your strength you could hurt the dog!" I shouted in surprise. The girl had strength and firepower as strong and precise as a well-trained Amazon warrior.

"We will be rewarded for the dog, whether it is dead or alive." The girl said with a smile, that made us all feel cold down our spines.

"Obviously it matters!" Yamato shouted seriously but then we saw that the girl was giggling a little.

"Just kidding, Yamato." The girl said as she prepared to shoot.

"Wait, we could let Benja use one of his water arrows, they're less lethal." Tatsu said nervously. I looked at the dog for a moment and made my bow and arrows appear before taking aim.

"The dog is too small, I can't shoot it." I said with frustration. Nozomi's memories made the shots seem very easy, but recreating those shots is more difficult than one can imagine.

"You have the wrong posture." Suddenly I saw Miyako helping me with my posture.

"This posture is very old, you must have a straight back, arms stretched. Remember, although the dog's skin is very sensitive, you must braid the rope until it touches your cheek, you must not see it as prey." I adjusted my back better and twisted the arrow further until I could feel the rope of water on my cheek.

"Now. This is important, keep your mind clear, precision is important, not speed." I closed my eyes to relax my mind. My hair began to float and slowly my bow began to glow white.

The moment I let out the breath, opened my eyes and shot the date, the shot was precise and perfect. However, we were all surprised that the dog, even though it was difficult, managed to dodge my arrow before starting to run.

The moment I let out my breath, I opened my eyes and let the arrow shoot out. However, we were all surprised that the dog, despite finding it difficult, managed to avoid my arrow before running away.

"He runs away, after him!" Kazuko shouted seriously. We all quickly started chasing the dog.

We started chasing the dog as fast as possible, although I could easily use my magic, that would be something I couldn't do since we all went to public places all the time. Markets, a food court and even a temple full of tourists, we are all chasing the dog without any break.

"He went into that alley, come on!" Matsukaze shouted seriously. We all immediately followed the dog down the alley, only to see that the place was blocked by multiple wooden planks.

"We have it!!." Christiane shouted but then we saw the dog scurry through the woods. Yamato tried to catch the dog but it slipped out of his hands, suddenly Momoyo used his head to propel herself and jump over the boards just like Christiane and Miyako.

"Demons!." Yamato touched her forehead only to see Tatsu in front of hers, the girl took out her katana and destroyed the planks without any difficulty.

"Let's hurry up, we'll lose him!" Kazuko shouted and we quickly resumed the chase.

Despite our efforts, the dog was more skillful and intelligent than us in leading us through narrow alleys, and even running over walls far out of our reach. Until in the end, we managed to corner him.

"It's ours!" Christiane and I lunged to catch him but we both hit each other hard with our heads. We both grabbed our foreheads in pain before seeing how the dog began to jump from wall to wall until it reached the top of the roof and ran away.

"That dog. In short, he is not normal." I said in shock as did the girl next to me and the rest of the team. We never thought we would see a dog with such formidable and admirable agility.

"We have to catch him quickly!" I screamed before hitting the ground. Suddenly everyone saw roots growing under my feet and I quickly started chasing the dog.

"Benja wait!" Yamato shouted before climbing up the root to follow me like the rest of the others.

Miyako was the first to arrive. She saw that I followed the dog until I stopped just as the animal seemed cornered.

"I have it!." I said before preparing my bow so I could immobilize the animal.

"Wait!." I didn't listen to Miyako and started shooting my arrows however, I only managed to get the animal to dodge them before running and jumping to the roof of the building in front. It bothered me but I was suddenly surprised when the girl suddenly took my bow away from me.

"What are you doing!? Now he puts his guard up, don't shoot!" The girl shouted seriously, looking at me angrily. I backed away a little due to the sudden outburst of anger, Miyako noticed it and slowly relaxed as the rest of the team was reaching out to us.

"Don't shoot until I tell you to shoot." The girl said a little more calmly before looking away.

"I'm sorry." That was all I said out of embarrassment. It was my fault for not remembering the steps to get the perfect shot.

"Don't apologize, just. be better, look it up." Miyako said looking forward. I wanted to grab my bow but the girl took it away from me.

"I said, look for it." The girl said now in a more serious tone. I only nodded my head before jumping onto the building in front and running off to try and find a trace of the dog.

"I've never seen Miyako so serious." Christiane whispered looking at Kazuko.

"She takes archery very seriously." The red-haired girl said looking at the blonde girl but then they all ran when they heard that I was calling them.

"Guys, over here!!." I yelled before running in the direction the dog was fleeing. Everyone became serious and followed me while Miyako put away my bow.

Now we were all in the center of town following the dog before we saw him run in another direction.

"We can't lose him again, everyone, split up!" Tatsu shouted seriously and we all quickly divided up. Momoyo with Kazuko, Yukie with Christiane, Miyako and me, and the Asian girl together with Yamato.

"Very good!." We all split up and started running in different directions, maybe we could intercept him.

"I already saw it!." Christiane shouted before pointing to a clothing store and everyone immediately ran to follow the dog.

"This is very cute, but I think it's a little childish for me."

"This looks perfect to me, let's try it!"

Inside that store. The commander and her partner in yesterday's battle were trying on bras and underwear, taking advantage of the day off.

"After all, in case of any confrontation I need special underwear." Chiki-chan said with a smile. But then she felt something brushing against her leg and when she looked down she could see a dog.

"I have it!!." Suddenly the peace was ruined when Kazuko came in fiercely causing both girls to fall to the ground while the dog ran away.

The pink-haired girl seemed happy and determined looking at the new set of underwear she was wearing. However, she felt something and saw a dog between her legs, which left her very confused but then she saw the curtains move with terror.

"Come here, you little bastard!" Momoyo suddenly entered the fitting room causing the dog to run away in terror while the pink haired girl fell to the ground.

"I have it!!." Yamato did not hesitate and lunged at the dog, managing to catch it but unfortunately he entered a fitting room. Inside there was a dark-skinned girl who seemed to be trying on a bikini, suddenly a loud scream was heard throughout the store and Yamato was sent flying by a slap, but unfortunately that also made the dog escape again.

"Yamato get up, he's escaping us!!." Momoyo shouted seriously. They immediately ran after the dog again.

"Benja, the dog is heading your way!!." Tatsu shouted seriously through the communicator.

"Understood, we're going to intercept him at the ice cream parlor." I said seriously as my group and I quickly started running after the dog.

"The parfait is so delicious." One girl was excited to eat her ice cream, but suddenly she went blank when the dog knocked over the glass, leaving the ice cream completely spilled on the table.

"I'm so sorry, iyo-chan!" Yukie shouted as she tried to intercept the dog's path with her sword but failed and the animal continued running.

"This is a parfait, it even goes perfectly with me!" Said a girl with a proud smile looking at an oversized ice cream. But that smile disappeared when the dog we were chasing knocked over the ice cream like he did with the girl before.

"I'm sorry, Musakkuso!" Miyako shouted while she grabbed a bow to shoot but by accident she grabbed mine, at the moment of shooting an arrow, the projectile took on enough power to destroy the glass of the dark-skinned girl who was eating her ice cream.

"Damn, it's so fast." I said with some exhaustion as I stopped near a table.

"I don't know about you, but maybe you should use your roots, since you don't use your ivy magic much offensively or defensively?" A girl with fluffy pink hair asked.

"That's right, maybe then I can intercept their movements." I said smiling but then I was petrified when my mind realized something.

"Hey, how come you." When I turned around the girl was no longer there, but I saw that she left some kind of medallion. There were two blue balloons and one yellow.

"Benja, the dog is running away!!." Christiane shouted seriously. I left the medallion in place and ran away. While behind me, the same person grabbed the medallion and his ice cream before leaving.


Somewhere else. More or less in a square-shaped building, a very important meeting seemed to be taking place.

"I certainly didn't expect them to make their move while we were busy with the Kawakami class war. Do you have any information about the move?" A white-haired girl asked, turning her back to a maid.

"Nothing at the moment, we are looking for details. We are focusing on finding the whereabouts of the subjects currently." The maid said looking at the white-haired girl. But she only managed a click of her tongue in annoyance.

"It's useless to look for people who hide easily. But, they're definitely moving for a reason. They must be keeping track of some kind." The girl said seriously, looking at a tank in poor condition in front of her.

"The new ones. Tell me about them." The white-haired girl said with her arms crossed.

"They seem to be transferred from the city Metropolis, the most curious thing is that there were no records of them until yesterday. Do you suspect them? Do you think they can help us with this?" The maid asked, looking at the white-haired girl.

"Let's keep those two in our sights, we'll have to study them in depth and get to know them better, especially that boy. If I can give Momoyo Kawakami an almost even fight, that means he could be a threat if he puts his mind to it." The girl sighed to think for a moment before raising her head from her.

"In the meantime, be alert. Immediately prepare a deployment unit." The white-haired girl said. The servant bowed before leaving the room.

The white-haired girl walked to where the tank was, looked at the damage in detail, and then put her hand on a huge dent. Whatever it was, this was not the act of a high-caliber weapon. This was a work of physical strength.


Alleys, roofs, even the sewers. We all tried our best to catch the dog but nothing we did worked, I used my roots, and the little magic I had available, but nothing. The dog avoided my attacks, and when I thought I had him, he always found a way to free himself.

At Yukie's request. We all decided to go home to rest our sore bodies from all the accidental bumps and bumps we had against each other. Yamato and I decided to wait while we let the girls relax in the bathroom.

"I'm dead, I never thought catching a dog would be so difficult." Tatsu said with pain all over her body. Falls, crashes, blows. Her body fortunately had no marks, but the pain could still be felt.

"I agree with you, I have never met such a skilled dog." Kazuko said with pain in her arms as she let herself submerge herself in the hot water.

"Bitch, I'm impressed that your muscles match those of a dog." Christiane said with pain. No one wanted to accept that, but Kazuko was an expert tracker.

"Christiane, I would beat you if my arms weren't so sore." The red-haired girl said with slight pain, no matter how much she tried to move her arms, the pain was strong.

"It doesn't matter, today was an ordeal. We tried everything and still that bastard knew how to avoid us and worse still, he didn't seem to get tired." Momoyo said seriously and somewhat tiredly.

"I don't think you've suffered that much." Matsukaze said looking at Momoyo.

"The worst thing of all is that we have managed to lose sight of him. How can we catch him now?" Miyako asked curiously, looking at everyone.

"How about we attract him? What do dogs like?" Christiane asked curiously looking at the girls.

"I like meat with bones!" Kazuko shouted with a smile as her hair took the shape of dog ears. That made Tatsu break out in an anime-style sweatdrop.

"We're not talking about you." Matsukaze said with a bit of sarcasm swimming on a duckling.

"Yamato is willing to give us all a lot of food vouchers. I want to finish this job successfully." Kazuko said with a smile but Christiane stopped to think.

"Even if that is true, Yamato will not receive the reward until the job is finished." The blonde-haired girl said with some seriousness.

"I would take off my clothes if he asked me to." Tatsu couldn't help but wrinkle his face in anger upon hearing Miyako's words. She remembered a lot what happened to us days ago before coming here.

"Will Yamato congratulate us if we catch the dog?" The purple-haired girl asked curiously.

"That doesn't matter. It's not like that flea-dog showed up here." Momoyo said seriously. Suddenly, as if it were magic, the water began to bubble more than normal and suddenly the dog appeared, leaving everyone blank.

The dog slowly began to swim in front of the girls until he got out of the bathtub. The animal began to dry itself off before looking at the girls and smiling almost in a smug way. That made the girls feel their blood boil like never before.

"Damned!!." The dog began to run while the girls went after him with their weapons ready.

"I took the souls of many people, but I will enjoy taking yours, you fucking animal!!" Tatsu shouted before attacking with a spectral slash, the dog managed to avoid it and continued running.

"Mangy dog, if you dodge this!!." Miyako shouted before shooting an arrow. But the girl was surprised and at the same time she became even more angry when she saw that the dog managed to dodge the attack without any difficulty.

"Impressive. This dog has the dexterity and reflex of a great warrior." The girl said with frustration looking at the animal.

"If he's a warrior then I won't hold back, I don't care if he's a dog!" Momoyo ran and tried to attack the dog with an attack but the animal managed to dodge it before starting to run faster when he saw that the girl's attack had broken a piece of wood very easily.

"He went this way!" Tatsu shouted and the girls quickly ran to a room.

The moment they entered the room. They saw that I was floating in the middle of the room with my eyes half open.

"Shit, he saw us!" Christiane shouted before covering her breasts but Tatsu quickly silenced her.

"Benja didn't see us. Look at him, he didn't even move from the position he's in." Kazuko said, watching that I didn't move a single muscle.

"It's because Benja is in a state of deep meditation, he always mentally trains to improve his magic. Let's find the dog and leave, if we interrupt Benja's meditation, well. Once, Diana told me that he was accidentally electrocuted by a I shout. Let's go in silence." Tatsu said seriously before everyone entered the room.

"Disgusting creeping animal, where did it go?" Momoyo asked seriously searching through the drawers while Kazuko checked my bag and Yukie checked the closet.

Christiane was searching through things until she saw something move under my shirt and suddenly saw a dog's tail.

"Girls." All the girls turned and were petrified when they saw where the dog was hiding.

"Shitty animal, that's playing dirty." Momoyo said seriously looking at the dog. However, the dog poked his head out from under my shirt and seemed to smile triumphantly. That made the girl even more angry.

"I'm going to kill him!!." The girl quickly launched herself which scared the girls.

"Momoyo, wait!!." Tatsu and the rest tried to stop the black-haired girl but only managed to fall.

The girls heard a bark and saw that the dog was at the door looking with a smug smile before leaving, that angered the girls but Tatsu was frozen when she saw where they landed.

"Girls?." They were all petrified and saw that I was now awake. I looked at the girls for a moment and then noticed that they were holding my shirt and were completely naked, slowly my face and my entire body turned red and electricity began to flow.

A loud scream was heard in the room and suddenly multiple electric shocks. The dog didn't turn around and instead he ran away and jumped out of one of the open windows.


Again we were all running with our weapons ready. I had multiple hand marks all over my face while the girls' hair stood on end, Yamato seemed confused seeing us so serious.

"Won't you tell me what happened?" Yamato asked curiously. No one gave any explanation, we got dressed and immediately started running after the dog while he kept up with us as best he could.

"Now is not the time. We have a dog to catch." Christiane said seriously as we followed the animal to an abandoned factory.

"He came in." The blonde-haired girl said seriously as we stopped in front of the doors.

"It's an abandoned factory, there's no place to go." I said seriously while Momoyo cracked his knuckles.

"Too bad for him, when I caught him I'll hit him." Suddenly the girl, using all her strength, broke down the door as if it were nothing with a single blow.

"It's going to be a pain to find that dog here." Christiane said seriously before seeing me walk and take the lead.

"I love animals with all my soul, but this dog already got on my nerves!!." I screamed before fiercely hitting the ground. Suddenly the place shook and my roots began to sprout before I grabbed every object and lifted it without any difficulty.

"I see!." The blonde girl shouted seriously. At that moment Miyako took out my bow and shot a water date, when I saw that my eyes shone and the arrow suddenly transformed into a net and caught the dog before he could escape.

"If you try to run the next one will be between your eyes." The girl said seriously while I began to take down all the things from the warehouse.

"Finally this is resolved, this nightmare is over." Tatsu said with a relieved smile before putting his katana back into its sheath.

"Now we can collect the coupons!" Kazuko shouted before giving Momoyo a high five. On the other hand, Yamato walked to where the dog is but when he took the last step, he felt something under his foot and noticed that it was a bullet.

"What is this?." The boy asked before picking up the bullet and looking at it in detail.

"That's a 7.62mm NATO." Christiane said looking at the bullet in Yamato's hand.

"How do you know that?." I asked in surprise looking at the girl.

"I learned it from my father." The girl answered, looking at me.

"What is this?." We all turned to see Kazuko with a hand grenade.

"That's a MK3A2 hand grenade." Christiane said looking at the grenade.

"And that?." Now our attention was on Miyako who was holding a machine gun.

"It's an M60 machine gun." The blonde-haired girl said while Tatsu and I were getting serious.

"Hey, what is this?" Suddenly our seriousness shot up as we saw Momoyo holding another gun.

"An M134 machine gun." Christiane answered, looking at the gun in the black-haired girl's hands.

"What is this?." Yamato asked, looking at the bullet in his hand in detail.

"Like I told you, it's a 7.62mm NATO bullet." The girl said with some confusion but Tatsu shook his head.

"Yamato is not referring to the bullet, he is referring to the weapons. Could this be some kind of illegal shipment?" Tatsu asked seriously, looking at all the boxes.

While everyone was talking. My eyes went cold when I saw something sticking out from between the blankets, I approached a box and when I removed the blanket I saw with my own eyes something that I never thought about and never wanted to see again. In front of me was the same model of the shotgun I used in the robbery long ago.

My hands shook and I grabbed the shotgun before raising it. The same wood finish, the same model, everything was the same. When I hammered the shotgun I felt a chill run through my body as I remembered exactly what happened that day I even felt the phantom pain in my arm.

"What are you doing?." I was brought out of my thoughts when Miyako approached me. I looked at the shotgun and dropped it in the box.

"Nothing." Was all I said as I tried to hide it. The girl seemed worried but then she remembered something.

"Hey, this, it's yours." I turned around and saw that Miyako was holding my bow.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you, it's just that. Archery is very important to me and I take it very seriously, that's how my father taught me, sorry for being so hard on you." Miyako said with some embarrassment while I grabbed my bow.

"Okay, that doesn't matter anymore. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before, I should have taken the practice very seriously, the thing is that, using spells I'm good but, using only bow and arrows, it's difficult for me without my magic." I said with some embarrassment looking at my water bow. Sword, spear and shield were the standard weapons he used on Diana.

"Hey, don't be depressed. If it makes you feel better, I could teach you how to use your bow without the need to use a spell." The girl said with a smile making me smile. Using a bow without relying on magic constantly sounded great.

"I would love to. I accept." I said with a smile, that made the girl smile happily.

"Benja. You're going to want to see this." Tatsu said seriously making me walk to where she is.

"Look at this, doesn't this logo look familiar to you?" The girl asked seriously. I looked at the logo on the box and I was shocked.

"It's the logo of Lex Luthor's company." I said in surprise looking at the logo before taking a picture. But after taking it I saw something behind me through the reflection of my cell phone.

"Benja, behind you!" When I turned around I saw the man being knocked down by a shot from Miyako. Immediately we all gathered in the center of the room and saw that there were many uniformed men around us.

"Looks like we have bigger problems than a silly lost dog." The girl said seriously while we all prepared our weapons.

"They are also armed with dangerous weapons." Momoyo said seriously, looking at the weapons of all the men.

"Yamato. You can't handle this, so stay back." The black haired girl said with a smile looking at all the other men.

"Are you crazy!? Not even you can handle so many weapons!" The boy shouted seriously but that didn't make the girl stop smiling.

"I have this." Suddenly we saw the girl grab the machine gun without much difficulty.

"Finally I have fun. Here I come!!." Momoyo shouted before attacking the men.

"Shoot!!." All the men began to shoot at Momoyo but the girl managed to dodge her shots without any difficulty before using the machine gun in her hands as a club and hitting the men hard.

"This machine gun is incredible!" the black-haired girl shouted holding the gun while Yamato had an anime-style sweat drop.

"Here I go!!." Yukie shouted before attacking quickly. One of the men tried to shoot but the bullet was cut in two before the girl cut the gun in half as well. In a quick flash, she moved at high speed, defeating the men around her.

"Don't worry, she only used the back of the page." Matsukaze said while Yukie attacked again.

Miyako and I were back to back shooting arrows, the girl was defeating men quickly while I with difficulty managed to defeat one before the others hide and attack with their weapons which forced me to dissolve the bow and create a Water wall to stop attacks.

"Shoot your arrows faster!" the girl shouted before taking down two men with a single arrow.

"What happened to the rule of precision and not speed?" I asked before knocking one of the men down and punching him in the face, knocking him unconscious.

"A small and limited space does not leave many places to cover, and there are many, you will not fail!!." Miyako shouted seriously. Immediately my eyes glowed a mint color.

"In that case we will use the height too!" I yelled before hitting the ground to grow a root to reach the higher areas of the warehouse before she and I started attacking more evenly.

"Curse!." Miyako and I turned around only to see Yamato cornered with three men ready to shoot.

Before the men could shoot, the girl and I shot at the same time, suddenly our arrows seemed to fuse together and like a missile hitting the ground it caused the men to fall to the ground due to the shock wave of both the arrow and the Water.

"I must admit it was amazing." I said smiling looking at my bow while the girl smiled and nodded her head before we both attacked again.

Christiane and Kazuko were now back to back as they were surrounded. The two girls smiled and attacked, the blonde-haired girl was quick and took down the men in front of her without difficulty, while the black-haired girl used her spear to disarm the subjects before attacking them with forceful blows.

The man who seemed to be the leader attempted to flee but was easily restrained when Momoyo grabbed him by the neck.

"You're not going anywhere, you little shit. You owe us an explanation so start talking, and since we've been shot, your answer is going to cost you a lot." Momoyo said coldly but then the girl had to take a big leap to avoid an attack that came from behind her.

"Momoyo!" Miyako and I saw that the girl now seemed to be fighting a woman dressed in black who was using a mace as a weapon.

Kazuko and Christiane tried to run to help the black-haired girl but were quickly intercepted by another girl wielding a spear.

"More troops!?." Miyako and I quickly prepared to shoot but had to jump to avoid the attack of a third girl wielding a sword.

"Who are they?." Yamato asked in surprise while Yukie quickly helped Miyako and me.

"I don't know, Yamato, but don't come close, they are not like uniformed men!" I yelled before shooting a water date at the girl who was against Yukie, but she deflected my attack before fiercely attacking the girl.

"She is very skilled." Yukie murmured with difficulty as her sword collided with the girl's sword.

Kazuko tried to attack the girl with the spear but unfortunately the other girl dodged the attack without difficulty before hitting the ground fiercely causing a screen of smoke to rise.

"These skills belong to Kawakami Academy." the red-haired girl said seriously before returning to the attack.

Yukie was having trouble keeping up with the other girl, but suddenly Tatsu jumped up using my roots and quickly attacked the mystery girl making her back away. Suddenly, when the other girl looked at Tatsu, a smile seemed to appear under her mask.

"The Kawakami Academy techniques reached abroad!? Who the hell are you?" Momoyo shouted seriously, looking at the girl with the mace. Suddenly we all heard a whistle before seeing the girls run to one of the open windows.

"Stop there!!." I shouted before shooting an arrow. The arrow only managed to graze one of the girls' cheeks. They looked at Tatsu and me with a smile before giggling which scared us and got on our nerves.

"Bye, handsome." One of the girls said before leaving. That left us surprised but at the same time confused before we heard something from a fourth person we didn't see in the battle.

"Hey, stop!!." Christiane shouted seriously but we saw the person escape. Suddenly, we saw something fall from the sky and our eyes widened in horror at the sight of a grenade.

"Everybody to the floor!!." Yamato shouted seriously while my eyes changed to a green color.

A strong explosion shook the place due to the grenade. Everyone had dropped to the ground to cover themselves from the explosion, when they opened their eyes they saw that I had created a dome of roots and branches around all of us before the roots came down.

"Everyone is fine?." I asked curiously looking at everyone as the team slowly stood up.

"We are all fine." Yamato said with slight seriousness. At that moment we looked around and saw all the boxes destroyed.

"Did they destroy their own weapons?" Kazuko asked in confusion but my eyes didn't leave the broken boxes and destroyed weapons just like Tatsu.

"If they didn't care to save or try to recover some of the weapons, it's probably because they may have more weapons in their hands." I said seriously making the Asian girl nod.

"It's true, all of this weaponry seemed ready for a military assault group. If they were allowed to be destroyed, that only means that they must have much larger weaponry than this." Everyone became serious because of Tatsu's and my words.

"We should notify the authorities of this." Christiane said seriously but Tatsu and I shook our heads.

"That won't help much. We may all be witnesses, but with the evidence destroyed I highly doubt they'll believe us." I said seriously before seeing Tatsu show me a burned contract.

"We will have to talk to Barbara, she is an expert in these things. This may be almost burnt, but with her help we could know who is responsible behind all this." the Asian girl said seriously.

"Another superhero sidekick?" Miyako asked curiously making me nod.

"Barbara Gordon is the most intelligent and computer-savvy girl I have ever met, she is even capable of creating multiple ingenious inventions from trackers and even anti-shark spray." I said looking at the girls but Christiane had an anime style sweat drop.

"An anti-shark spray? That sounds like the craziest, dumbest idea I've ever heard." The girl said embarrassedly, looking at me.

"I don't know, I think it's a good idea." Kazuko said looking at the girl. But then our minds made contact and we remembered something.

"Hey, where's the dog?" Yukie asked with concern. At that moment we looked at the corner where the dog should be and we only saw a puddle of water.

A deep silence was present. We all had a nervous twitch in our eyes and slowly our bodies turned red with anger and frustration as we clenched our teeth so hard they seemed ready to break.

"No fucking shit!!." We all scream at the same time at the top of our lungs. The scream was so loud that it easily echoed throughout the factory.


We left the place when the police showed up, we had to escape through the other side of the factory to avoid being seen. Today we had a horrible day and the last thing we wanted was to put up with the police, Tatsu and I knew it wasn't the right thing to do, but the little patience we had couldn't stand this.

"First we are looking for a missing dog, and now we had to fight against smugglers." Christiane said as we all walked at a slow pace due to fatigue.

"What confuses me the most is because those boxes had the Lex Luthor logo, does he have something to do with this carry?" I asked curiously looking at the burned contract in my hands. It was a miracle that the signatures were intact.

"We can't be sure of that, Benja. It's likely that Lex Luthor's signature was forged." Tatsu said looking at me while we both thought about the issue of the boxes.

"This is very worrying. It shows a lot that Japan is no longer safe." Miyako said with disappointment. We all stopped to look at the city in silence.

"Japan is not what it used to be." Although Tatsu said that in a low voice, I could hear her and felt a prick in my heart seeing the sadness in her voice.

"This is just the beginning of something big, it doesn't matter where they are hidden, they won't be able to hide forever." Everyone turned to see me.

"I don't just speak for Japan, but for everyone. Those girls who attacked us, the weapons, something big is in the shadows. And we better stop them before something terrible can happen." I said seriously looking at the contract in my hands.

"Wouldn't it be better to give the job to the authorities?" Christiane asked curiously but I shook my head.

"It's not that I don't trust Japan's judicial system, but think about it. A huge shipment of illegal weapons of great power cannot go unnoticed just like that, we have to thoroughly find out who these people are." I said seriously looking at the girl.

"There is only one thing that confuses me, and that is the girls who attacked us. Those Techniques are from the Kawakami Academy, and as far as I understand, the director would never let such dangerous and powerful techniques come to light abroad." Miyako said looking at us.

"By the way, those girls looked at Benja and Tatsu very intently. Did you two already know those people?" Yukie asked curiously but Tatsu and I shook our heads.

"No, we don't know those people, but one thing is clear, it seems that Benja and I became their main targets." The Asian girl said seriously but then she saw that I put a hand on her shoulder.

"We're a team, remember? I still owe you my life, and we're in this together, we'll help each other, always." I said smiling making the girl smile and nod more calmly.

"We will also help, we may not be a team of superheroes but we are all in this, so we will also help as much as possible." Yamato said with a smile making us smile.

"It's good to have very strong allies. Now, tonight I must send the contract to Barbara, maybe she can help us more in knowing who we are facing." I said as we all resumed walking.

"Now that problem is solved. There is another one that we must take into account." We all looked at Miyako and the girl pulled out a sign of a dog. I swear to God, when I looked at the sign I immediately wanted to burn it.

"It's true, we let the dog escape." Kazuko said with a depressed aura like all of us.

"Won't there be a problem if we say we found him dead and hide the body?" Christiane asked seriously and with a nervous twitch in her eyes as she looked at the poster.

"Maybe we could say he left with a better family." I said with a bit of tiredness and annoyance in my voice.

"Hey guys!" We all turned around and our bodies turned pale as paper when we saw Cap standing next to the dog we'd been chasing all day.

"You don't know what crazy thing happened to me. I tried to fix the flat tire on my bike but the glue tube dried out so I had to carry the bike all the way on foot, crazy right?" The teenager asked with a nervous smile but he then saw that all of us had a murderous aura. The dog tried to run away but a root stopped him.

"You disgusting, dirty living bag of fleas." I said with a vein throbbing as we all ran and jumped on the dog in anger ignoring Cap.

"You are dead!!." All that was heard were the dog's screams in the middle of the night.


In the abandoned warehouse, when the police left the scene they took with them the few weapons that were still intact to conduct an investigation. Footsteps were heard in the room and a hand raised one of the few bullets left behind.

"This is certainly disappointing. Who would have thought that some brats would interfere with our plans, and to make everything worse. It turns out that that white-haired boy and the girl are next to them." A man said, staring at the bullet.

"Good job everyone. But, certainly this measly amount is not enough to cover the entire order, our distributor will not be happy to know that all the merchandise was destroyed, he hates being bothered." The man said with some disappointment before dropping the bullet.

"What are we going to do with the two of them?" A female voice asked as the man stood up.

"We'll have to keep our eyes open. I saw the broadcast, that white-haired boy is our biggest threat, if I have to think about something, he alone would be able to defeat you without even breaking a sweat. On the other hand, that girl next to him has something that should belong to me, but. If both of them are together, the task will be twice as difficult." The man said with a smile.

"We could take care of him." Another female voice said as the man turned around.

"Not yet. They will have to wait for the moment to go after that boy, we must catch him off guard so that his friend falls. She does not interest me, but, her sword is what interests me the most." The man then turned to see another boy.

"Call our distributor. Tell him we're going to need a new shipment, the same amount. And tell him not to worry about the money, I'll have everything ready in a month, I'll even pay double for the inconvenience." The other boy nodded before leaving while the man looked at the girls.

"As for you, stay in touch, I will let you know when the time comes to meet that boy. Know everything about him, past, weaknesses, strengths. Everything will be necessary, don't disappoint me." The man said before leaving while the girls went another way.


"I feel so exhausted." I said exhausted while lying on the ground.

The day began. After handing over the dog, we all flopped down on the couches and on the floor of the room due to our exhaustion as we spent almost the entire night watching to make sure the dog didn't try to escape.

"I don't want to move for the rest of the day." Christiane said tiredly on a couch. Suddenly we all jumped sharply when Momoyo entered the room with force.

"Benja, it's time!" The girl shouted with a smile while we all looked at each other with slight confusion.

"Time? Time for what?" Tatsu asked curiously but then she and I saw the girls smiling.

"We made a decision yesterday, and we have decided that if we are going to help each other, it is best to train from now on. So come on, there is no time to waste, up, up!!" Momoyo shouted before grabbing my arm and running away while she dragged me.

"Come on Tatsu, come with us too!" Kazuko yelled before dragging the girl as we all ran outside. But we never noticed that someone was watching us from behind.

"I have them in my sights." The girl said with a smile looking at us from a distance.

"Remember what the boss said, you must be discreet, don't let them see you." Another female voice said through the cell phone, which made the girl roll her eyes.

"I'm not as inept as Ami, I have everything under control." The girl said before turning off her cell phone before following us behind her.


That's it for today's chapter, I hope you liked it, and I also want to apologize for not having updated this story in a long time. I got really distracted with the other stories and I completely forgot about this one, but don't worry, the chapters will keep coming.

I hope everyone has a good day, afternoon or evening. Once again, sorry for the delay and I hope you're enjoying the story so far. See you later, goodbye dattebayo.

"Dad, shouldn't we investigate the strange anomaly I notice?"

"I'm on it Marie, I think it would be better to go talk to Peacock. Maybe she forgot to close a portal by accident."

"Surely, let's go."

"Hahaha, this was crazy right? Being here makes my hair fluffy with excitement, I think I'll stay a while longer."

"Did you say something, darling?"

"I didn't say anything dad. Maybe it was your imagination, let's continue investigating."

"Goodbye readers."
