Ch.6: Light of a new hope
Everyone looks in shock to Akihiro and surprised from what happened..
-Hajime thinking: ( His ability has gone!! This has never happened!! If she doesn't like him, she will kill him. How can she leave this way?!!)
-Hachiro thinking: ( A rare ability goes and leaves her owner!! What is this ability thinking about?! She always surprised us by her unexpected decisions!!)
-Hajime: Calm down, Akihiro, we will certainly figure it out somehow.
Akihiro looks at Hajime and his features looks like a dead person with no expressions on his face and his eyes have lost their luster..
-Akihiro: After I didn't care for the abilities and didn't feel I need them, then I had a problem where I wished to have an ability to help Akio with. And when it came to me, and I rejoiced at it, and my love and passion to learn more about them increased , especially about my ability; she has gone and left me like a body without a soul, a body that doesn't have any abilities, only waiting for death.
Hajime slapped Akihiro across his face with an angry face, and everyone is shocked with his reaction..
-Hajime: Are you stupid? Do you think you were born without abilities?! If you were so, your body wouldn't bear and you would die. And do you think a rebel ability like her would choose you if you are not worthy of this, or would leave you alive unless she knows that you have something prevents her from killing you and devouring your consciousness. Don’t let despair blinds you. This world is merciless towards those in despair. You have an ability but you don't know it yet, we will know it and make it come out. Do you understand?
Akihiro looks at Hajime and his eyes’ luster is back, and he starts crying. Everyone smiles with sad eyes..
-Hajime: You're just a foolish kid. Rest for now and we will search until we know your ability. When you recover your strength, we will start our attempts to wake it up.
Akihiro stops crying and wipes his tears..
-Akihiro: Alright.
Hajime and Hachiro leave, and both Akio and Emmy wait with Akihiro, and he smiles..
-Akio: This is the first time I see you crying, what are you hiding inside you and makes you cry like this, Akihiro?
Akihiro looks at him, and then lies down on the bed and covers himself with the blanket..
-Akihiro: Didn't you hear Hajime? I had to rest to recover my strength.
Akio laughs, and Emmy keeps looking at them with a smiley face..

-Akio: I got it, you're embarrassed and don't want to talk about it, Alright, we will let you rest.
Both Akio and Emmy stand up to leave the room. Akio goes out first and Emmy stops, turns and looks at Akihiro with serious glances..
-Emmy thinking : ( Akihiro, to be chosen by this ability who doesn't like any one easily, and to leave you alive, although she always kills anyone she choose and doesn't like, this didn't come out of the blue. There are things hidden within you and I think that great things will happen to you in the future, rest assured, you idiot. )
-Akio: Why are you stopped?!
Emmy is surprised with Akio behind her..
-Emmy: No- Nothing.
Akio looks with wicked glances and smiles..
-Akio: I can sense your admiration for Akihiro.
And he laughs with maliciously smiles.. Emmy’s face turns red and she gets all mixed up..
-Emmy: N- No, no, Why do you say these embarrassing stuff?! I even still don't know him so how I am going to like him that easily, you idiot.
Akio laughs and puts his hands behind his head, and walks away..
-Akio: Right, right.
Emmy closes the door and is running after Akio..
-Emmy: What do you mean by this? You don't believe me, do you?
Akihiro lying on the bed awake but his mind in another place thinking of what he will do after what happened to him, and of the Dioborikita’s talk before she leaves..
Hajime sits on his desk and Hachiro sits in front of him, Hachiro looks at him with serious glances..
-Hachiro: This is the first time you look at one of your allies with this angry look, this look is always of the share of our enemies.
Hajime looks at him with a smile..
-Hajime: Yes, I was surprised too that I showed this expression to him but I felt I had to save him before he lost in despair, lost in despair means that your future is dark. Either you cling to your heart and live in despair and loneliness and die like that, or the darkness will fill your heart and you would be a weapon that destroys and corrupts the beauty of this world. And if this boy went to the other side, I don't think we will be able to stop his agitation.
-Hachiro: But how can't we be able to stop his agitation? Don't you see that it's exaggerated, plus Dioborikita is no longer with him.
Hajime’s face changes to seriousness..
-Hajime: Don't underestimate this boy. For this ability to choose him and go leaving him alive, this means that there is something missing that we don't know, because it's not in her nature to leave her former owner alive. There must be something there that prevented her from doing this. Either there is something stronger than her inside him and she is afraid of it , or that there is a hidden purpose for her to leave him alive.

Hachiro is shocked by Hajime's talk..
-Hachiro: Do you mean that he has a stronger and more frightening ability than this one?!!
-Hajime : I just put hypotheses. This boy hidden a lot inside him. Didn't you see him crying although it wasn't that bad to cry. Even if you look at his personality, he is not the type who cries especially if it is a small matter like what happened a while ago. For the boy to feel that he wants to save his friend and that ability responds to his desire and helps him! If she is a rebel and doesn't like anyone easily, why did she help him although he wasn't the one in danger?! This isn't an easy case that we can figure out by ourselves. We had to know everything about this boy and about this ability, and ask her about her purpose of these odd acts for its nature.
-Hachiro: What about his friend? Why did we take him? And why do you want to recruit him?
Hajime smiles..
-Hajime: Because he is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the future. If you noticed although his ability was only at its first, weak level, it seems that it would be dangerous to the Bonsan, so that monster from the Bonsan decided to kill him before he grows up.
Hachiro smiles quietly..
-Hachiro: It looks like you have seen the fight. It seems that the cameras we put secretly around the world have benefited you.
Hajime laughs and points the sign of victory..
-Hachiro: Then, Emmy, Why did I you choose her specifically over all the other therapists who are more experienced than her?! As I know you the reason wasn't that she is at the same age or new like them.
Hajime smiles softly..
-Hajime: Yes, that wasn't the reason. Actually, I want them to fit in with each other because I am aiming to form teams. Each team will have one or two different kinds of abilities, which means that the team will have possess an attack, a defense, enhancement and therapy.
Hachiro smiles admiringly..
-Hachiro: It looks like a really good idea.
Hajime looks at the sky from his window..
-Hajime: I hope to make the right decisions always to not lose anyone anymore.
Two hours after these events. Akihiro comes out of his room and he is walking inside the building..
-Emmy: Oh Akihiro, it seems you have recovered.
Akihiro looks at her without expressions..
-Akihiro: Ah, yes, I'm better now.
Emmy smiles..
-Emmy: Well, I was coming to take you to the training area. It's good I found you here. Can we walk to there?
-Akihiro: Ok, no problem.
They start walking towards the training area..
-Akihiro: Where is Akio? Is he alright?
-Emmy: Yes, don't worry, he is with Hajime and Hachiro at the training area waiting for us. They seem to have known your ability.
Akihiro smiles and looks at her..
-Akihiro: That's good, I will try to wake it up.
Emmy smiles as she looks at Akihiro..
-Akihiro : I have a question, Emmy.
-Emmy: Go ahead.
-Akihiro: There is a variety in the fighting abilities and they have names, so do the other types of abilities, like the medicated ability, have names and types too and differ from each other?
-Emmy: Yes, but we are different. The difference in our abilities appears when they get to the second level, but the fighting abilities are different in the first level.
-Akihiro: But do you have rare abilities like the fighting ones?
-Emmy: Yes we have but not as many as you or this is what we know so far about abilities.
Akihiro smiles excitedly..
-Akihiro: The world of abilities is really large and huge. I want to know more about it soon.
Akihiro and Emmy arrive at the training area..
-Emmy: Here we are.
Akio waves to them..
-Akio: Hoi! Akihiro.. Emmy.. Come here..
Hachiro and Akio mumble and Akihiro notices this but doesn't care..
-Hajime: Well, before we start with you Akihiro, you will see a fight between Hachiro and Akio.
Akihiro gets shocked and looks at Hajime..
-Akihiro: How is this? He won't bear this and also there is a difference in strength between them and in experience as well.
Hajime smiles..
-Hajime: Don't worry and look at them carefully.
Akio looks at Akihiro with a smile..
-Akio: Don't worry man, I got this. Trust me..
Akihiro looks at Akio and smiles and nodding that he trusts him..
Hajime looks at Hachiro and Akio..
-Hajime: Okay. Stand in your places. Ready.
-Akihiro thinking: ( Don't try to strain yourself much, Akio.)
-Hajime: start fighting.
To be continued...

Body Modifier: Energy Required
Aria ate a fish. [Energy: 2] Finished, he ate another fish. [Energy: 2] ... [Energy: 3] Without realizing it, he had finished 5 fishes. He felt a little bloat, he lay down with a full stomach, occasionally burped. Even though he didn't want to be a big lump of meatball, he still had to keep eating. At least until he found another way to accumulate energy. After all, if he didn't take advantage of his advantages, wasn't that stupid? His mind then drifted imagining which one he would use the energy for. Should he use it on his eyes, so it shot a beam of laser, like a certain bespectacled mutant? Should he use it on his bones, so it regenerated infinitely, like a certain character from an anime? Should he use it on his brain, so he became a genius, like a scientist with a bald head? Or should he use it on his vital organ, so that he became the manliest person in the world? While he was imagining things, suddenly his ears felt pinched. "Ouch!" "Didn't mom already say you can't play with fire, you brat?!" There he realized, knowing that no matter what he chose, he was still a child in front of his mother.
