Ch.10: The First Mission

-Hajime: Good morning, promising team. Prepare yourselves cause you have a mission today.

Hajime looks at them with a smiling face and the stands before him ready for the mission..

-Akio: And what about the school?

-Hajime: What do you think about moving to our own school? It's like regular school but with a skill training to improve your strength.

His face turned from smiling to serious and he was looking at them with sharp eyes as he said those words..

-Akihiro: And is it the reason to improve our skills or to be freer in our missions, or to keep an eye on us?

Akio and Emmy look at Akihiro nervously as if they are telling him not to go so far..

-Hajime: Well Akihiro, as long as you want honesty and the true answer , then the answer is the three together.

Both Akio and Emmy are shocked but Akihiro looks without any shocking expressions as if he knew and expected this..

-Akio: But how could you keep an eye on us? Do you not trust us? You are the ones who asked us to join you, this is the biggest proof that the idea of suspecting us as spies or traitor is illogical.

-Hajime: Why did you get it this way? We just want to reassure on you. Any enemy tries to play with your mind, or wants to hurt you. We just want to be reassured on you. You are promising in the end.

Hajime looks at Akihiro and he can only see eyes of suspicion and caution, while Akio and Emmy reassured that it wasn't as they thought..

Hajime thinking: ( It seems that he doesn't believe me. That's what is expected from him in the end, he doesn't trust anyone easily. )

Hajime smiles and begins to tell them about the mission..

-Hajime: Your mission is to investigate in the disappearance of people in the city of Sapporo in Hokkaido. The people there told us that there are people who come out and didn't come back and with no trace, and they asked for our help, so get ready to go.

- The team in one voice: Yes, Sir.

They leave to prepare themselves and Hachiro begins talking to Hajime..

-Hachiro: Then what's your initial view about the team, sir?

Hajime looks at Hachiro with a calm face..

-Hajime: This team will be one of the strongest teams. The power of The Celestial Flames. The Celestial Dragon. And Emmy's healing power which will develop soon which I see that will be a significant healing force. And the Dioborikita ability which we doubt that she has gone. If this team develop, it will beat the pioneers.

Hachiro is shocked with his talk..

-Hachiro: Don't you think you exaggerated when you said they would beat the pioneers? I don't think they were so weak that children can reach them so easily.

-Hajime smiling: The days will prove my words, Hachiro. Just let us be patient.

( In Akio and Akihiro’s room )

-Akio: Didn't you speak too much to Hajime?

-Akihiro: Yes, I apologize for this, I made a mistake.

Akio is surprised by Akihiro’s reaction..

-Akio: It's weird!! You have never agreed with me on anything easily, you always cling to your opinion. Is there any thing you're hiding from me?!

Akihiro looks to Akio and smiles..

-Akihiro: Don't worry. There is nothing, just this time I am convinced with your talk.

-Akihiro thinking : ( Don't worry, Akio. I didn't change and I don't agree on your words but I just don't want you to think too much and trouble you. I will protect you from any danger. I will not be weak any more. I will not lose anyone else in my life. I am not prepared for this at all. I will not allow to repeat what happened in the past.)

Those words were going through his mind with angry and serious face..

They meet Emmy in the way to the leader room..

-Akio: Oh Emmy, it seems that we finished in the same time.

Emmy notices them and smiles..

-Emmy: You look great in your official uniforms.

-Akio: You too Emmy, it suits you a lot.

-Emmy: Well, let's continue our way , it seems that our mission won't be easy.

They continue their way to the leader room..

-Hajime smiling: Welcome. You look wonderful in your official uniforms. Well, there is a car will take you there. Don't risk too much and if you find that it is not going well, don't hesitate to contact us.

-Akio smiling and enthusiastic: Alright. Don't worry about us, we are not weak.

Hajime smiles lightly and looks at Akihiro..

-Hajime: Akihiro, don't exhaust yourself too much, we are also here.

Akihiro looks at him with a serious look but he doesn't show any response and turns back to leave the room..

-Akihiro thinking : ( Don't show this compassionate face while talking to me idiot. )
