"Dear passengers… we are landing at our destination, we ask you to please fasten your seat belts to avoid injuries… thank you" It sounded through the aircraft speakers.
-Something sounds in the background... Ah... it's the plane's landing gear... but it's meant… to sound like that?
This was going through Rena's mind as she listened to the landing of the plane, she vaguely heard the sound of metallic knocks in the background, it was her first long-distance plane trip, so she did not know if that sound was normal in this type of trip, The truth is that he would never have imagined the origin of those metallic sounds.
~-~
The sound of steel hitting back and forth resounded throughout the area, it was normal in the current situation… for a person who knew and belonged to that world.
-nghh… nah… how is it going?
-We can't ignore the situation, but it's stable. Thanks to you, you should rest for a while, miss Darkness.
-I think I'll take your word, even with the black box active you can't inhibit the pain of a punctured organ.
After saying this, Tome leaned against a nearby wall while letting out a groan of pain, once on the ground she proceeded to heal the wound she had on her side which had pierced a kidney.
She formed an aura composed of a pair of darkness hado particles and spun it fast enough to heat the molecules that made it up while reducing its size to such an extent that if the constant rotation of the particles didn't leave a black trail no one would know that they were there, once it reached the point she wanted, she inserted it into the wound and began to cauterize all the internal and external cuts while another person applied healing techniques with a water hado aura.
She had barely finished healing when a trail of red cut the nearby sky and fell in front of Tome, from this trail came a robust figure of a man with a suit that gave an air of extravagant, but at the same time a feeling of only having what he had necessary, on his back he carried a drawing of a flame, he was slightly tall, with black eyes and showy crimson hair.
-It seems that you are better now
-Don't even think about teasing me, you were late and I had to put up with several high-ranking members of Dark Moon, ALONE.
-I know… my fault… but I solved it, we already contained all the potential fronts, we only need to get rid of the landing strip and it's all done!
-Well, I guess I should go back to the battle.
As she spoke she stood up with an ease inhumanly possible for someone who had received that type of injury recently.
-We should take care of that group as soon as possible, the stasis field is not going to collapse, but a plane is about to land in the area, you know that for security reasons we cannot let the situation continue.
-Well, gather a couple of supreme masters and... 7... not 8 great masters, with them they will be enough, don't you think Alex?
-You are very safe, I would say that the two of us are enough, but you are right we need to neutralize that group as soon as possible, I will give the warning and we will leave in a few seconds.
-Got it.
Immediately they finished talking, the warning was given and in less than 5 seconds, the required men appeared in front of them.
After 10 seconds, two contrails shot into the sky, the red contrail that had fallen in front of Tome formed by Alex, and Tome's black trail that led 10 trails of different colors according to their element.
-Target lock, physical contact in 12 seconds.
-Get ready!!
Alex yelled at the men behind them.
The 12 seconds passed and all the wakes connected floors, the requested men came out of them at the same time that the enemies deployed their weapons, and at supersonic speeds the steel began to sound colliding with each other, releasing sparks everywhere but at the same time, no one who wasn't inside the battlefield would saw nothing.
The stasis field, a necessary technique in this type of operation, was already deployed, it blocked the vision of anyone who was not inside the field, the interior could be seen from the passengers of the plane, but they would not see the battle that was happening inside of it, they would just see the usual landing strip.
-Alex! take care of this one!
Immediately after the sentence will go through the communicator, Alex and Tome changed opponents in less than a second despite their distance, during Tome's battle she fired her pair of weapons called "Twin Mists", even though no one in that world used firearms due to their low feasibility, as it was not uncommon to find opponents who moved at more than mach 5 by simple skill, so any type of melee weapon was more feasible for most since a melee weapon could be used to block projectiles or lethal, even so, she was one of the few people who could handle weapons at a distance and not lose in a melee confrontation because she had developed them perfectly coordinated to her hado with which she could direct her own energy and give it whatever shape she want, as well as modifying his trajectory and speed, his great ability had given her the title of "apprentice of the hado of darkness", which would mean the second best user of that type of hado in the legion, which added to all the experience in combat that she possessed and her meticulously developed technique made her a fearsome opponent for almost any enemy, while Alex, on the other hand, was also a formidable warrior, he was a user of a sword as well as the fire hado, his arduous training and affinity for confrontations made him earn the title of "apprentice of the hado of fire", of the same rank as Tome, a fight against this rival was something that was not possible for anyone to win, the mere presence of his weapon "Ignition "was terror for several of his enemies.
A battle, with the two of them in the lead, ended in just 30 seconds, neutralizing the enemy and retreating from the area, completely disappearing, leaving no trace that there was a battle and a terrorist act was neutralized…
~-~
-Mmmmhhaa…. We finally landed, now where is the baggage terminal?
After an exhausting trip of almost 15 hours, Rena was on her way to collect her luggage as she stretched, while her mind hovered over the time before landing where she had heard steel rubbing, having a cooler head, it was not normal for an airplane to carry out those sounds when deploying the landing gear, but due to the length of the trip he decided to just ignore it and go to clear his head a bit.
-Miss Shimizu!
A voice coming from an exit called out to Rena, it was the guide she should meet and that she should lead to her destination.
-This way miss.
-Thank you.
After the exchange of words, both went to the exit where a white vehicle was parked.
Once inside the vehicle and started the tour, Rena decides to make a comment to break the ice.
-It's a pretty nice city, isn't it Sonia-san?
-It is, it's not exactly the best of all, but it's cozy; By the way, I notice that despite the fact that you are speaking Spanish, Japanese idioms are difficult for you to leave behind, isn't that right?
-Surely I will never leave them, after all, I grew up in Japan, it is strange to come to another country and completely forget about your origins.
-I guess it's true, but remember that in Mexico there are very few people who know the meaning of such formalities so please be careful with them.
-Would it be a better idea to communicate without them?
-It would probably be the best to avoid misunderstandings… Oh! We arrived.
Sonia parks the car in front of an apartment building which they both enter.
-Pretty cozy for the price of rent.
-I… Maybe she should say that when she enters the apartment.
-I doubt it is a worn apartment or something similar, the building is perfectly maintained
- Let's hope so
After the talk, both go to the apartment while they continue admiring the building and its setting.
-It 's here miss.
-Eh…pretty isn't it?
An awkward pause runs through the room which Rena decides to put an end to.
-Why did you stay silent looking at me?
-It's... just that despite the time you haven't changed, at least from your way of speaking I can tell, you're the only person I know who expresses his instantaneous thoughts in other languages…
-Ugh... it's a... hobby I guess...
-But that's not why it's bad hehe; here ends my task for today, after all… i'm just here for work, to make yourself comfortable and enjoy your new home.
-Okay, thanks.
After saying that, Sonia left the apartment, followed by this Rena fell on the bed while she let out a sigh.
-... I've been through a lot so far it seems hahahaha
Rena turned around on the bed a few times and hugged the pillow that she had just unpacked.
-It's time to move on with my life after all.
After saying that, he was remembering what had happened and his reason for his trip to Mexico; She had achieved one of the best grades in Japan and managed to become the beneficiary of an all-expenses scholarship for a study abroad, they had given her many countries to choose from but for some reason she had chosen Mexico, It was a small illusion that she had since she was a child because one of his relatives was a graduate of the SPA of Mexico, a chain of schools distributed worldwide by a UN initiative where only students with an excessively high coefficient and performance entered, in which they were instructed by the best specialists In his area worldwide, the chain of schools was just finishing being distributed to each possible country that would accept his scholarships, but it still did not reach all countries, as was the case in Japan; because despite being a chain of global schools, not even half of the UN countries had an institution even though the initiative had been active for more than 40 years, and Rena managed to get just the scholarship that allowed her to study in one of those institutions so she felt as if it was destiny to choose the SPA of Mexico; She would visit a country that she always wanted to visit, and at the same time that she would study in one of the institutions that is currently considered the highest house of studies in the world, it seemed like a dream for her.
-Right! I need to check my papers… I would kill myself if something went wrong with my registration.
