Syd was standing at the window, eyes staring the view outside while talking to someone on the phone at his house.
" You will help her?! "
" Yeah."
" Heh? But Why did it turn out like that? I thought you would chase her away. Hmmp, what big bro had decided.... This means that woman has something 'special' which interested you, hasn't she? "
" Yes, Not gonna lie. but I think this woman is pretty talented. She is strong as me."
" Strong as you? Hmm?... Interested. So you found someone as your equal? "
" Hey, don't talk like I'm an overpowered thing... I want you to do me a favor."
" Yes, Brother"
" Look for a person name 'Jody Connelly' double N okay? and send me a detail. Actually it was her name but i need a deeper information. In the case that she's using a fake name or has anything to do with the school's principal." Syd said, " Because I think our mission could gain more chance of success if she joins our team."
" Hey?!...W-what?... Brother, what did you say?!... Wait.. but what if she doesn't?!... This is very dangerous and risky! I think we shouldn't leak our plans to any person out there! "
" Roxy...Roxy... my snowy icy... Don't you forget the reason she keeps following me?"
"....."
"....."
" Oh... so you're going to make a 'Deal' with her? Big bro?"
Syd grinned.
" Yes, That's what i'm going to do."
" But...? what if she doesn't ? I mean... If she was the one you claim as your equal, shouldn't she know what you're doing with her?"
" As if she had a choice, Roxy. She wants her eyes healed more than anything else, I'm assure that. Plus she's some anti-socialism person i guess?"
" Oh, like you?"
" Hey! I'm only care about our family... okay?" Syd yells in embarassed.
" Alright. I will look into it. Take care brother."
" You too."

At the morning of the next day.
This was the day that Jody came to school faster than usual.
She ignored every voice interacting to her and went straight to the school's cafe as fast as possible.
Inside, there are a few customers spreading in each chairs. Jody went to a seat she usually sits everyday and wait for someone.
In fact, Jody couldn't even sleep lastnight because of her exciting, nervousness and etc. that she finally found the way to fix her disease.
For 15 minutes, Finally the time has come.
Jody noticed a male student came in the Cafe. With the similar face, similar uniform, He is Syd Barrett. Definitely. Jody will never forget him.
Syd was looking for Jody, he was glaring his eyes around.
Jody waved her hand to tell him that she's over here. And Syd noticed it.
Luckily, The seat Jody was sitting was built for 2 persons, not more, not less. So Syd Barrett sat down at the opposite side.
He kept silent until the waiter came and take him a menu.
Syd received it and started analyzed the detail of what he's going to order.
" Can i get, uh... smoked chicken wing, Salad and a ... ravioli please?"
The waiter nodded, he took away the menu and went back in to the kitchen.
Jody heard the students around them gossiping to each other about Syd and her sitting in the same table.
" See,that man? He's been told to be Jody's equal."
" Woah?!... R..Really?..."
" I heard that he is also as strong as Jody! "
" Shit... that can't be real..."
" Are they dating?..."
They stopped as Jody glared at them and they quickly got out of the cafe in frightened.
" So.... what is it name?..."
Jody looked directly at Syd and started the topic.
" Name?... name what?.." Syd twisted the eyebrows.
" Your Ability."
" My Ability?... My Ability is just my Ability. There's nothing to do with it"
" You must have named it. It's very important for this place." Jody said, while putting a peice of cake in her mouth.
" It's not just for your Ability, but it also represents you."
" Why?... Isn't it a bit cringy?..."
"Nope." Jody said,
" 「Killer queen」That's what they call my Ability. I got it after I won a duel with ex-president of student council." She explained.
( I see... It's like Roxy's 「Ice Cube」, Isn't it...) Syd thought.
" Well, In fact lady. this thing is not actually 'My Ability' "
" !?!?! " Jody shocked.
" What?...wait... what do you mean?" She asked in confusion.
Syd took Jody's cake from her plate and he took up his fork. Suddenly, Jody noticed a small wavering between his hands and the objects he's holding.
Suddenly, Syd put a fork down and put a cake back to Jody's plate.
" Eat it." He said.
" What? "
" Eat the cake."
"....."
Jody glared down, she trying to stick a fork in the cake.
But it didn't work.
The small fork stuck, it couldn't be push through the cake.
Jody touched her finger tip on the white cream. The cream which usually need to stick with het finger was immovable.
Now the cake was just like a plastic look-a-like cake model.
" ... "
" You might have seen it in our battle. But in order to make it clear to you..."
Syd suddenly pushed down his fork down against the table.
Jody was still shocked in the fact that the fork was easily broken down like squeezing a cake.
This was bizarre.
Syd started to explain.
" A long time ago, before you were born, before i was born. Or even before your great grandfather was born. There's an ancient 'Technique' was teached somewhere deep into the northern forest of China. The Chinese developed this technique based on the thought of 'Being One with Nature'."
Suddenly, Syd squeezed the fork into pieces by using a book he brought with. It's like he squeezed a sponge.
" By using this process,Being one with nature, of course, They manage to 'access' the most clamliest state of their mind and be able to swap the objects 'Characteristics'." Syd said.
" Usually, It is being used among the monks to make their activities be more comfortable and faster. There are 2 ways to access the clamliest state of yours. first is to learn about the philosophy of Buddhism. understand it deeply enough. Or the second way is to study science, and every subject which made up to study the nature of things around us so in this way, you can easily access the clamliest mind. But... "
Jody startled because a fork which was broke by Syd just finished transforming back to its initial state. The metal fork which was soft as a cake now turning back to a sharp piece of scraps and it pierces through the book.
However, Jody's cake remains the same. But this time when she touched the cream, it stuck back to her finger as it used to be.
" It was temporary. Once you have mastered the technique, everything from now will be on your own. It's like when you know how to ride a bicycle, anything after that is up to you. How long you can ride before you get tired? How fast you can ride? or any tricks and technique to drift, It's up on your practice. At first, I only can handle about 5 seconds. and I kept practicing.... until these days, I can make it about 10-13 minutes."
" Oh, thank you."
Syd said to the waiter who just brought him dishes.
" So what do you think? I'm not threatening you. But speaking with the facts, In order to master the technique, It's very hard. You think you can handle this?"
" Y..Yes, I can!... P...Please.... Please teach me! Please teach me this technique!... I'm begging you! I'll do anything! "
" Oh~? Anything you say?... Are you sure about that? " Syd grinned.
He glared down to Jody's chest. Actually, they're medium size. Not too big, not too flat, However, if combined with Jody's face. Jody is a pretty woman with a little of yanky's look.
" Yes, Anything... I will do anything..."
Jody started to understand what Syd was about to say from now.
" Anything with no refuse? "
" Yes... Anything with no refuse..."
" Then tell me, Why do you come to this school? "
" Eh? " Jody twisted her eyebrows.
" Tell me the reason why you come to this school? The 'Real' Reason I mean."
( Why would he want to know that?)
" Of course... It is obvious. Because... It is a famous..school. When you graduated, You can be easily offered to join a famous university all around the world." She said.
" So... What if one day, the school got shut down forever? What are you going to do? "
" Umm... Find a new one? " Jody answered.
" So you only join this school because it's only famous?"
" Yes."
" Well, then... This is what I'm going to offer you, Lady. I will teach you the technique. BUT... Only if you could help me do something."
" Help you 'Do' something?..." Jody asked.
" I will ' Shutdown' This school in this semester," Syd Barrett said quietly.
" !!!?!?!?!!?!! "
Jody's eyes widened. Although she's shocking, she's smart enough to keep her voice down and pretends that they're just chatting.
" What?!?! - - - ...."
" This place is already dead, Lady. Just answer me, Will you join and help me 'Shutting down' the school? "
" Why..?... Why would you do it?! "
" I'm telling you nothing unless you make your decision. It's up to you, you can go out and tell everyone. No one is going to believe you. It's just a student's joke, isn't it? What could a male student do against the whole school? heh? "
"...."
Jody gulped.
" You're crazy..." She said in eyes widened.
" No, I'm not." Syd said, " No- I'm - not."
" The way to bring back your eyes is here. Join me, and I'll teach you. Or... leave the Cafe, and pretend that nothing happens and let that disease stick with you forever. What will you choose? "
"..." Jody gulped.
( T...This man.... This is crazy...If we are exposed....what will happen to me?!...B..B.. but... In order to bring back my eyes....)
Jody's flashback started playing in her head.
Many scenarios of her life was shown through a memory, Her life which had failed once, Many bad things Jody had done.
"..."
"...."
" I have decided."
Jody lent out her hand, offering Syd a handshake.
" Let me in! And let me be one of your power! I have decided. I will join you! " Jody said with her true intentions.
Syd grinned in friendly, he grabbed her hand.
Both shaking each other's hand.
" Please to have you in 'Our' team, Jody Conelly."
Syd said.
" 'Our'?? "
" Yes, Do you really think that I can do this alone?...." Syd asked, " I know that you really did this but I'm gonna ask you again, Don't you even feel suspicious why I was moved into this school?"
" Of course I did," Jody said,
" It was too strange that a transfer student was moved into the greatest room in the year, Even you are rich, but money can't buy a seat in this class..."
" hmm, " Syd smiled, " Well, I see that explain to you here was not safe for both of us."
Jody looked around the Cafe, She noticed that people started to fill in. And they're looking&gossiping about them.
" I'll explain this to you later. Don't need to worry. Nobody knows except both of us " Syd said.
Their sights were like they're looking at lovers. Jody's cheeks turned red a little, but it quickly faded away as she ignored them.
" Let's eat. I haven't eaten anything this morning. I'm so starving. I wanna know how good the food tastes here..."
Syd started to eat his breakfast. Suddenly as he took the first bite of Ravioli. It made his eyes widened and twisted his eyebrows in suspicious.
Jody was observing Syd thinking what he's doing.
" What...the..." Syd picked up another piece of ravioli by the fork, this time he didn't eat it.
He's analyzing it.
" Syd?... What's wrong?.." Jody asked in worry.
Syd took another half bite in order to make sure If he's wrong or just his imagination.
But it didn't turn out like that.
This half price of Ravioli was a confirm to Syd that he wasn't wrong.
" Syd?? " Jody asked again in worry.
" It tastes like a rubber..."
" What?..."
" This Ravioli... Jody... It tastes like rubber!"
As Syd finished the line, He quickly chopped the ravioli in half with a dining knife.
" Inside it's dry! Look at it Jody, It's dry! " Syd tapped his finger inside the Ravioli.
" I was skeptic at first when I see it. I thought it was just my imagination... But now I'm sure. This thing is microwaved. No doubt. It's definitely microwaved." Syd put down the Ravioli and turned to his chicken wing.
" Shit... this chicken also dry! It's skinned... It's like I'm touching a fucking rubber... What the fuck It's microwaved too?! "
" Syd.What the hell are you saying? "
" Hey! waiter! " Syd shouted a waiter name so loud that everyone in the Cafe turned to them.
" Y-Yes, sir? "
" Did these 2 dishes microwaved? "
Syd showed his dish to the waiter.
" No we aren't sir, We cook fresh ever----"
" Ask the chef "
" Eh- -? W..What? S.Sir?.."
" ASK THE FUCKING CHEF GODDAMNIT! "
" O-Okay! Okay, Sir. I-I will ask the chef"
The waiter immediately walked into the kitchen.
All students in the Cafe were turned their face to Syd Barrett. It makes Jody a focus too.
Now gossiping was louder and louder and it made Jody wants to run away.
" S-Syd?!.. What the fuck are you doing!?!.... You are being too loud!!! "
Jody was trying to pull Syd back to his seat.
" Shut up, Jody! "
"....ek...." Jody stunned.
As the waiter came back, he brought Syd the answer.
" How is it? "
" Y-Yes, Sir... I-It's microwaved...."
" Eh-?? "
Jody was shocked.
( How did Syd know it?! ) Jody thought.
" Fuck me, This is Hideous. Microwave re-heats not cooks you fucking dingdong."
Syd stood up from the chair and grabbed his bag.
" Jody, Let's leave! I won't step in this place ever again. no more! "
" H-Heh....?? What do you mean?? "
" Just get the hell up! God damnit! "
" KYAAA---?!?!?! " Jody face turned red after Syd quickly touched her.
Jody's body had been holding up under her armpits by the male student like he was helping a baby stand up by himself.
Syd returns and takes a leave.
" H-Hey?! S-Syd?! Where are you going?! "
"Leaving."
" W-What?..What about the bills?! "
" I'm not going pay any money to this shitty place. They microwaved the food! And that's unacceptable! "
" B-But sir...."
The waiter was about to stop Syd but suddenly Syd turned back and gave him a card.
" If you have any problem with me, Tell your manager to call to this number. He is my mentor when i was 14. And explain what this place has done."
Syd said and he took a leaving.
Following by Jody which however she did pay the meal for both her and Syd.
" I'm so sorry for what this guy has done!..."
Jody said before she left.
" E...eh?....."
The waiter was left confused. He glared down to a card the boy just gave to him.
But as he noticed a picture of the person on the card, it made his spines shaking hardly.
Because it was a picture of Syd Barrett was holding a cooking knife, dressing in a chef uniform... With GORDON RAMSAY besides him.

"So what will you name it? "
" My ability?"
" Yeah." Jody replied.
Syd shrugged.
" I don't know, I have no idea"
That's the boy reply, He was considering about it but then... When Syd walked passed by the other students, he heard them gossiping about him again.
" Hey..Look! It's that tranfer student with Jody!"
" Wait hold on?!... He's with the queen??..."
" When did they being this close?!... Are they on a date or what?"
" Probably, I heard that he was Jody's equal"
" Woah?!... This " Immigrant " ?! "
" Yeah! May be he's as strong as Jody! Or maybe stronger!"
" No way... I think Jody's ability was the strongest! "
Syd was stunned by a name he heard from them. As he considering at it, It finally made him a decision.
" What about....「 The Immigrant 」..... ? "
" Name it by hearing others gossiping about you and me? "
" Perhaps..." He said, " Being named is less cringe than name it by myself. You know like when some call themselves like Darkness king, The sword of darkness every dark ass emo shit... It's cringe."
" I don't see it such cringe, Syd. it's all in your head, perhaps?"
" Nah. trust me, Jody."
