Author's note : last chappie today !
The 10 teens and the Paladin are now gathering inside the Paladin’s office and the 2 Knights are currently sitting in front of the desk, receiving some stuffs. Then the 2 of them stand and give the other teens some of them.
Chi and Daiki are both stunned as they both receive the newest guns.
“Anou,” Chi started, taking all people attention.
“What is it, Chinen ?” The Paladin ask.
“Are you sure that you’re going to give us, these ?” the little boy ask as he shows the gun.
Ryosuke tak a short glance toward his father before resuming his job while saying, “It’s all yours Yuri. Just accept that.”
“Done.” Ryuuki state as she finished what she’d been doing in her PDA. “We are ready to leave anytime.”
The Paladin smile. “Good. Well, all I can say now is, Ganbarimasu. We’ll be expecting you for dinner.” He says calmly and then leave.
Ryosuke and Ryuuki are also heading out, followed by the rest of the team.
**************************************************************************
“So here we are.” Hikaru seemed excited as they arrived at the District no.17.
Naru whack his head. “It’s not something you should feel excited about !”
Ryuuki chuckle slightly. “Look. Guys, we’re going together until this turn. My group will take right, Ryosuke’s group will take left.” Ryuuki show the way from her PDA and received some nods from others.
“We’ll enter now.” Ryosuke utter as he opens the van’s door and walking out, followed by his companions.
They walk inside the building and start to move carefully until the turn they should separate.
“It’s weird. Not even a single kitten.” Ryuuki whisper.
“hmm. We should keep going anyway. I had a feeling they’d prepared some tigers inside.” Ryosuke speak up his thought.
The girl nod as she leads her group to the right side while Ryosuke lead his to the right side. Yuto turn to see his partner walking away. It’s weird without her around. He feels incomplete. And he has a bad feeling about all of these. Soon, he realized that they’re no longer walk in secrecy.
“Yama-chan ?” he calls.
“mmh.” The older boy reply shortly.
“Is it okay like this ? I mean, what if somebody found us ?” he asks concernedly.
“It’s good. They didn’t even put a CCTV. It’s whether they didn’t think it’s necessary or they’d put a big trap inside, I don’t know. But I know it won’t be a problem, yet.” Ryosuke whispered his last word so it’s just himself who can hear it.
“Che, trying to show off that you’re strong, eh ?” Keito blurt out. “Bet you’d just got Es your whole time in this Org. Ds the least.” He adds confidently.
“Keito-kun !” his partner exclaim.
Ryosuke don’t even bothered to look at him as he speaks coldly, “Then why do you think I was assigned in a Lv A assignment now ?”
“What ? I never recalled this assignment as an A ?” Keito commented confusedly.
Ryosuke chuckle. “My father gave Yuri and Daiki the new guns right ? Well, he planned on someone else before actually. And he also loaded me and Ryuuki with full weaponry. He only loaded us with full weaponry when we had to faced Lv A only. Can’t you even read the signs ?” Ryosuke state plainly.
Keito seemed pissed of by his sentence while Sakura just shake her head in disbelief. Chi is giggling secretly. As for Yuto, he put a confused look in his face.
“Anou…” he starts.
Ryosuke turn to show him that he’s paying attention.
“What were you talking about ?” he asks.
Ryosuke stop in his track to stare him. He has this cold expression on his face, yet, Yuto can feel a slight warmth through his eyes.
“Unbelievable.” He mumbles as he start to walk again. “We were talking about the difficulty level of the assignments given from our Org.” he stops to think for a while before continuing. “I’ll make it short for you. Lv E assignment is the easiest one. These assignment mostly given to newly promoted members. Lv D is 1 step harder than Es, mostly accepted by Defender. Lv C assignment usually considering to human-tracking or hunting, which is mostly given to Gunslinger and Hunter. Lv B contain the same assignment with Cs, it’s just the process are harder. Bs usually given to Knight. Lv A assignment is the hardest assignment. It contains random type of assignments. Only the high-ranked of each grades can receive these assignment, but they’re mostly given to the Knight.”
Yuto mouthing an ‘O’ in his mouth.
“But there’s 1 other level of assignment. These assignment consist a matter of huge amounts of life-threatened, the existence of our Org, and such emergencies. These assignment called Lv X assignment. These are taken by the people of Shadow Division only. The Ninja, The Ranger, and The Assassin.” Ryosuke finished his explanation.
“Rumor has it that once you entered this Shadow Division, you can never resigned except you’re dead.” Chi add.
“Eh ? What is that suppose to mean ? I thought you may resign anytime if you feel like to, as long as you don’t break the secret.” Yuto utter.
“Once you walk under the Shadow, you will never see the light anymore.” Ryosuke say calmly. “Since what they do are categorized as dangerous, they have to keep their identity for themselves or they might be killed by people who wished for revenge. Even some of them are listed dead in the country in order to protect their existence. Almost no one ever see their faces ever again when these people join the Shadow Division. They’re rarely come to a meeting since they already have their own. You remember the people who were wore masks in our last meeting ? They’re some people from Shadow Division.”
“Hontou ?” Yuto ask for confirmation.
“Un. But that was not even half of them. Most of their times were usually spent to fight or defend.” Assure Ryosuke.
“Have any of you met any of these guys before ?” Yuto ask curiously.
Keito just shrug while Sakura shake her head. Chi utter a ‘no’ while looking on the floor.
Yuto turn to see Ryosuke. “What about you Yama-chan ?” he asks.
“There were a pair of Knights who were promoted to be an assassin a month after I was promoted as a Knight. We were quite close. And there are a pair of Rangers that seemed like to bugging me around ever since I accidentally met them when they were going to met my father 3 years ago. Some Shadows were coming in and out every week to my house and I came to learnt who they are. And apparently, there’s 1 Ninja who is currently residing in our house.” He tells the tall boy.
“Eh ? I never remembered knowing a Ninja is lived in your house ?” Chi whine.
“Actually, you all met him. He’s Morita Jun, my father’s butler.” Replied Ryosuke.
“Eh ?” Chi stare at the older boy in disbelief.
“His partner were died when I was 10. I remembered he yelled at my father that he didn’t wanted any other partner when my father tried to paired him with someone else. At the end, my father gave up as he let Jun-kun to be his butler so he wouldn’t need to had any other partner, and in the same time, didn’t resigned the Org.” informed the calm boy.
“Why did he so persistent about his partner ?” the only girl in the group ask.
“Because he loved his partner too much.” Answered the Knight quietly. “His partner in fighting, was also his partner in love. Saya-san, was his wife.”
The others are shocked with his statement. Until suddenly, the leader stop his track.
“What’s wrong Yama-chan ?” Yuto ask worriedly.
“shh ! I can hear something.” He signed the others to be quiet.
Keito try to hear but got annoyed as he hears nothing. “What do you mean ? I can’t hear anything !” he asks impatiently.
Ryosuke doesn’t reply as he start to walk again. But this time, faster and quieter. A few min later, he stops his track again. Keito is about to complain when Ryosuke raise his index finger to his mouth. Then, he points out to the small corridor on their right a few metres away. Faintly, they can hear a sound of water. When they walk closer, they can see dim light comes from the corridor. Once they reach the corridor, they were amazed by the view before their eyes.
There’s a beautiful little fountain in that corner with water splashing everywhere. A warm white artificial light surround the fountain. But what astonished them the most is the lone figure sitting in the middle of the fountain. It’s a figure of a girl in pale-red dress about her knee. Her bare feet immerse in the water elegantly. Her long black hair hang loosely to his back. She’s closing her eyes with a sweet smile plastered beautifully.
However, Yuto found Ryosuke show coldness in his face instead of amazed. His eyes seemed dangerous and he has this murderous aura around him. Yuto wondered what make him angry toward this girl. He examines his other companions to see if any of them show similar expression with Ryosuke but only found the enchanted look in their faces.
“Yama-chan ? What’s wrong ?” Yuto dare to ask.
But the latter doesn’t answer him as he keeps his stern face on him. Instead of taking Ryosuke’s attention, his voice make the girl realized their presence as she opens her eyes. Her smile got wider as she see Ryosuke’s there.
“Hisashiburi, Ryosuke-kun.” She calls sweetly. It seems like you can be drowned by her voice only.
“Omae…”
