《Different》Chapter 22 - The Strange Man
Advertisement
--Highroad 8:32 AM--
Soro was sitting down behind Rika. He peaked through a gap between the two chairs in front of him to see what she was up to.
"Still reading books huh ?"
Rika jolted the book out of her hands in shock.
"HUH !?!"
Soro covered his mouth.
["I wasn't supposed to say that out loud"]
Rika's face became flustered. She slowly turned around to check who was behind her. She began stuttering.
"S-s-soro ?"
Soro awkwardly smiled as he slowly waved at her
"What's up ?"
["Oh boy"]
Rika began stuttering again.
"H-h-have you been watching me the entire time ?"
Soro's eyes rolled over to the side.
"Of course not, I just noticed you were reading a book"
"Okay..."
["Phew"]
She leaned over and grabbed the book that she dropped. It was the same one as when they first met. Soro glanced at it.
"You really like to study mechatronics huh ?"
Rika's eyes turned to look away. She was to embarrassed to avoid eye contact.
"It's not that I like it or anything..."
Soro tilted his head.
"Then what ?"
"W-well you see...I need to know about it to be able to use my ability better"
Soro's mouth widened as if he were suprised.
"Woaaaaah, for reals ?"
"Yes..."
"What's your ability do ?"
"W-well.....it let's me control electronic devices. But I have to know how they work in order for me to be able to control it"
"That's pretty neat"
["That must be why she was reading a book about mechatronics"]
Soro smiled.
"Can you show me it right now ?"
Rika took her phone out from her pocket.
"Okay..."
She held it up so Soro could see it.
"Hold this"
"Okay.."
Soro took the phone from her hand and held it next to him.

"What now ?"
The phone opened by itself. A pin code screen appeared. The digits of it began automatically entering without Soro touching them. The phone was running completely by it self, or rather by Rika.
The camera app flashed open and took a snapshot of the shocked look on Soro's face.
"Wait what !?"
Rika began giggling.
"Oops.."
~~Large Company Building 10:20 AM~~
A group of men in suits were sitting in a round table. The boss of them sat on the end of the table with dark sunglasses on. He glanced at the others as he cleared his throat.
"Very well, let's begin"
One of the men sitting down held up a large piece of paper.
"I would like to present an idea for a product that will enhance these newly founded abilities"
The other men looked around in complete shock. The boss leaned in closer out of interest.
"I'm listening"
"I propose that we-"
At the very same moment a strange man crashed into the building through a window. He began wiping off pieces of glass that were stuck on his skin as if it were dust. He looked around at all the men who were in complete shock.
"Why, hello gentlemen"
The boss got up from his seat with a furious look on his face. He glared at the strange man.
"What is the meaning of this !?!"
The strange man looked at the boss. He pointed towards his face.
"Those....I wan't them"
The boss gritted his teeth.
"I've had enough of this foolishness!"
The strange man dashed from one side of the table to the other, where the boss was in a split second. He took the sunglasses from the boss is face, who was completely frozen in fear. The other men got up from there seats and begun running away. All except for one of them who was still sitting down.

"You like those sunglasses huh ?"
The strange man turned around and looked at him. He had already put on the sunglasses.
"Yeah, I like em'"
The other man smirked.
"The name's Tamoko"
The strange man looked around the room.
"I'm Expo"
"What a strange name you have"
"I get that a lot"
Tamoko got up from his seat and held his hand out to Expo.
"How about we work together ? I can help you get what you need"
Expo was unaware of Tamoko's intentions. He had never shook someone's hand before or conducted any sort of business. It was safe to say that Expo was from another world.
"What I need huh....I wonder what that is..."
"I'm sure you will find out if you work with me"
"Heh, okay then. I'll leave it to you"
He turned around again and looked at the boss who was still in a state of shock.
"What about this guy ?"
Tamoko glanced at the boss.
"He will probably try report what he's seen after he recovers. If that happens it could cause some problems for us. It would be best if you dispose of him as quickly as possible"
"Ok..."
Expo grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him up. A purple aura started emitting out of his hand. The man began screaming in pain as his skin turned violet. Expo looked at him in the eye.
"Give me a moment, it's been a while since I've done this, I'm a little rusty"
The man's skin began glowing as it faded into ashes. His body was nowhere to be seen. Tamoko began slowly clapping his hands with a sinister smirk on his face. He was impressed with what he had just witnessed.
"Very, interesting"
~~ New World Academy Entrance 11:06 AM~~
The bus had arrived and everyone had gotten off. They were now waiting for someone to guide them on what to do next and where to go. Soro looked up at the academy. There were 8 different buildings. Each of them were extremely large. The smallest being an outstanding 12 stories tall. Everyone including Soro were completely shocked at the size of the academy. It was nearly double the size of a university campus. You could go as far as to say it was it's own mini town.
["So this is the academy huh ?"]
A tall bald man with a large muscular figure approached Soro. He straightened the tie around his neck as he looked down at Soro.
"The head master wants to see you"
