[Facility]
Three month have passed since the very first time Kaido arrived at the facility, inside both Haruka and him learned that after their arrival here they will get to be taught by scientist in this room
They don't even know if this was even needed as one of the process of removing their Esper powers but they nonetheless did so
They have undergone numerous quizzes and test of knowledge multiple times, each situated for the improvement of their understanding on their powers
During those days in between, they also got to experience being taught by a burly and masculine teacher, who taught them about hand combat and most of the times made them take a course run around the city plus difficult obstacles
They even remembered the time Haruka puke her breakfast due to the stress of the course run, thus ending her with a penalty 30 laps around the whole track
To make sure that she wouldn't get disheartened, Kaido tried to negotiate with their teacher or instructor which ended up with a punch straight to his face and a lap of 50 around the track
Since this was the case Haruka was enlightened that she wasn't alone in partaking the penalty and was somehow regretful for the fact that Kaido tried to save her, but in the end after she finished her penalty run, she kept cheering for Kaido until he passed out from heat and exhaustion
In concern Haruka rushes up near him and supported his head as she assured him in drinking a cold water, after that she fanned him wildly until he cooled down, when he cooled down, she helped him by carrying him over back to his room
Along the way Aaron saw Haruka supporting an overheated Kaido, and in order to gain affectionate points (according to him), he took Kaido off of her and carried Kaido to his room to have him rest
But during their travel, Kaido somehow noticed gazes from a certain direction which is aimed towards Haruka, this in turn made him feel uneasy but later on this also made h sleepy for some reason
After that incident both Kaido and Haruka have a determined expression on their faces, which made them appalling
That time their instructor taught them hand to hand combat and made them fight against each other
Unexpectedly Kaido and Haruka was partnered differently which made the latter have a quite disadvantageous position since her Esper powers isn't combat type
Of course the result was obvious she gets beaten up which made her feel really bad about it, luckily Kaido finally was able to apply regeneration on other too but only a small of time per day since this requires intense concentration
Following that a week has passed when the instructor personally have a hand to hand combat against his students and the very unlucky person to get picked was him
At the start of the match Kaido tried his best to hit the instructor but his attack somehow either repelled or gets blocked, when the instructor tried to attack however his defenses was easily broken through as he was punched right in the gut, followed by a series of left and right punches with a straight right punch to the face, after that he also got kicked to his side which ache his body and got done in by a mere axe drop
During those exchange the one who somehow felt hurt the most was Haruka as if she could feel what Kaido felt during those times, she even telepathically warned him not to get up but in the end he still got up on his feet
At this the instructor was surprised for his courage thus he told his class
"Looks like even I forgot the very important thing about combat"
"The most important thing in combat is to make sure your opponent always... . . I mean always stay down and never stand back up" he added
During the speech Kaido tried to retaliate by sending a straight left hook only to get dodged by the instructor and was countered by a right straight to the face once more, but this time the strength was somehow enhanced as he was sent flying across the room due to the force of the punch
Seeing him lying on the ground and staying down, the instructor somehow felt good about punching someone as he called out
"Oi! Who's acquaintanced with that brat? Get up here and take care of him before I'm forced to have him get sweep across the floor"
As the instructor shouted that, all eyes were directed towards Haruka as she stood up and ran towards Kaido's location before placing his head on her lap and tried to wipe off the blood on his beat up face
"Looks like a healthy relationship indeed! But remember!!! This isn't dating school, so you better stick that into your head and make sure you tell him to improve his combat skills before I decided to dispose of him... . . Do you understand?!?!"
As the instructor shouted that, Haruka curled up her body as she gently wipes Kaido's knockout and disfigured face, luckily due to regeneration Kaido's face which was disfigured gradually returned to its normal state at an incredible speed which surprised her a lot
****************
After every classes in the morning that separated Aaron from his dear Haruka, he inturn would spend mostly all of his time to make out for the loss and interact with her even more so than him
Of course since Kaido knows his intentions, he in return silently gave his sign of approval as at times he teased him for having wild fantasy of her
During this past months Aaron has finally fallen for her completely as he actually turned into a simp right before his eyes
One day he asked a date with her which in return ended in a positive response and made him jump all over the room
Due to his happiness, he actually visited Kaido at night and bragged about his love-dovy moments with her (according to his perspective), and giggled at the same time rolled over as he expressed his excitement
This in turn greatly distressed Kaido as he complained in his heart
"What are you? A fucking teenage girl in love? Get a hold of yourself!!! Your a man damn it!!!!"
Of course he didn't reveal his thoughts to him but somehow he felt someone was listening to his thoughts as he actually heard a laugh from the other side of the room
Embarrassed quite enough, he took a hold of Aaron's collar and decided to drag him outside his room
Surprisingly as he did this, Aaron didn't felt annoyed at all, instead he stood up toe to toe with him as he boldly declared
"Kaido! I like her... . . Better yet I think I've fallen in love with her, I couldn't think of anyone that I would spend my life with if not her so... . . I'm going to confess to her tomorrow... . . What do you think?" Asked Aaron
Quite shocked and perplexed by the question he calmly replied
"I think your brave"
"Huh?"
"All I can say is good luck! It's not my problem and... . . Bye"
As he said that he quickly slammed shut his door and went to bed
Of course he knew that Haruka was listening at the other side, but nevertheless it was not his problem so he went to sleep
As for Haruka herself she in turn blushed red as she heated up when she heard Aaron talked it out with Kaido through telepathy, which put her in a complicated situation
*****************
Following the schedule after the morning classes, Aaron actually took Haruka to a date around the small artificially created city just for them
He in turn walk away as he decided to practice his own powers on his own
During this past days, he somehow noticed that a group of Espers would grouped up together in the park before the scientist and the instructor would lead them away
Due to that many old faces from before has disappeared completely
He deducted that maybe somehow they were already scheduled for the next phase of the power removal which really mad him jealous of them
Anyway he's not in a hurry as he knows one day that it will be his turn soon
During those weeks of course the scientist would somehow bring another new batch of Espers inside this city which totally deduced as new arrivals this bringing in new faces inside the city
The most crowded place in this city was the park, as many newly arrived Espers would mostly spend the time around this area
In turn Kaido headed straight towards a huge lake in the park all alone which in turn made him the center attention for everyone
Girls, boys, young, and old all focused their eyes on him as he headed straight past the restriction rail and walked straight to the water
Some of them deduced that he would drown, some deduced that he would attempt suicide, some even deduced jokingly that he would take a bath since he doesn't have water in his bathroom
But all of them was left astounded as they saw Kaido actually stepped unto the water and walked over it like how a certain person did in the Bible
In others view Kaido was somehow showing off his powers to the new Espers, while in reality he was actually concentrating his mental focus as he continouesly solidifying the liquid particles under his feet to keep himself standing above the water
This type of elemental concentration requires a lot of stamina as it will actually drains your mental health ending up in stress
As he stepped on the center of the lake, he immediately tried to completely change the surrounding terrain by completely rule out its original algorithm and converting it into another type of element deviant to water
With enough concentration and may trial and error for this particular set up, Kaido finally succeeded as he instantly turned the whole lake into a land of ice in mere seconds
Of course this sudden spike in power greatly shocked the scientist as they have an enlightened expression on their faces when they saw the immense destructive force infront of them
After that showoff stunt Kaido once more outdid himself as he completely turned the area around him into a burning hot vicinity, causing a foggy white mist to envelope the whole lake and completely drying it up until it reaches a temperature that is enough for scorching heat and charcoal appear on the empty bowl of land
*******************
When the sun was setting, a person seated beside Kaido on the bench which is situated outside the building their living in
The person himself was Aaron as he told him that he finally confesses to Haruka
When Kaido tried to inquire about her response, he in return told him that he let her have a moment in time to decide for herself
With that in mind and after few talks, Aaron finally called it out and went to bed
As for Kaido as he continues to wait outside another silhoutte appeared beside him, this time it was Haruka, just like Aaron she told him about the story of her date
Seeing this Kaido couldn't help but twitch an eyebrow as he complained
"You guys... . . What do you think am I? A love expert? A psychiatrist? A doctor love?"
As he complained this in his thoughts, Haruka actually stopped on her tracks as she looked up to him which showed that she actually heard his thoughts, after a while she actually giggled and laughed which proved his points
After that Haruka gathered her wits as she confessed surprisingly to him
"Kaido!"
"Hmm?"
"I... . . I like you!"
"Huh? Oh I like you too!"
"Not that kind of like!!! I mean I love you"
"....."
As Kaido heared that he was actually taken aback by that as he looked at her with a surprise band a complicated expression on his face
But before he could reject her she added
"I know that you would reject me because of your promise to your Ex-girlfriend, but atleast let me confess my feelings to you so that I won't have any regrets later on... . . I don't know how but during those time I cared for you, I actually learned that I like you in another meaning... . . So yeah... . . " She stated
"Pretty funny right?"
After a long pause she asked him
But in reply Kaido shook his head as he said
"Actually I think that's pretty gutsy of yours, and I'm surprised" he admitted
Hearing that Haruka in return proved her claim as she suddenly kissed him on his cheeks before she hurriedly scurried off to her room
Experiencing that Kaido sigh deeply as he said up high
"Now this turned complicated"
**************
Next day however they were assigned to be the next batch of Espers together with Aaron and some couple of people to receive a test in order to advance to the next phase
After that they arrived at a room where many numbered white rooms were situated inside
This time they were separated into many groups consisting of 15 people in each room
Unexpectedly Haruka was teamed up with Kaido while separated with Aaron
This time Aaron held unto Kaido's hand tightly as he made him swore
"Hey! Whatever trial this is, I want you to promise me that you will protect her understand?" He asked as he shook him
"She's all I got... . . So please protect her in my stead and In return I will make you into my best man when we got married" he added
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Your too far ahead of yourself" reminded Kaido
"Hehehe! Sorry! Got excited for my future" said Aaron
"But nevertheless I will protect her, I assure you" assured Kaido
As they said that the guards finally splits them apart and led them into the room
Inside it was not actually just an empty room but Instead a hotel room with grey pillars standing erect in rows and columns
With that they were separated from each other for a quite a distance as the voice inside the speakers belonging to their instructor spoke up
After a deliberate speech of this and that, Kaido somehow saw Haruka quiet nervous and anxious for this test as she fiddled with her fingers across the room
This in turn made Kaido laugh Inside, of course due to telepathy Haruka heard Kaido laugh which made her blush all over
But the next words of the instructor completely silenced all of them
"Now I'm order for you to pass, only one per person in each room can pass this test... . ."
After a long pause the speaker finally spoke up that completely destroyed the balance of peace inside every room
"Kill each other off until only one survive, only the strongest will pass, while the weak are killed that is the test so have fun"
