"....first what?" i ask
"first mission, more specific i assign you to your first ever mission because you already have what is required" ...
"....mr.boss man–ma'am. i dont know– i just joined like 2 days ago?" i say, i really wanna scream but i hold myself
"and you already know how to control urge crongrats" he say. i oddly feel a smile radiating trought his mask
"b-but its only one time!" i try to argue, my calm image shattered abit
he began to be silince for awhile which worried me until he finnally spoke
"you mission is just protecting a chance burst, it should be easy"
"but....i dont know the uh– steps! yeah steps...." i half-shouted. sounding despreate
"steps?... oh you mean stages! i guess kaito-kun and kaede-kun didnt explain it to you yet?" relization was on his tone in the end
"well i guess i can explain it to you" he say.
'i dont even want to hear it!! please just give me 1 week!!' i shout in my head
"there are 3 stages of burst. first is relization, second is trails and errors, last is disapointed or anger"
"first stage when the person relizes theyre ambition on something, many people like athletes, musician and normal people all in first stage. and of course many isnt because sometime they are a low life but we are not gonna talk about them"
"second when they finnally persue theyre ambition they will follow the path, expiriencing trails and erorrs. as i said many people will asume that 'hey! normal people with big ambition will do that and went trought that too!' well the diffrent with our ambition that we putted so much emotion,sacrificing many and selfishly doing it for our own gain"
"soccer players and many other atheletes is the second stage yet they never go into the third stage"
"which shen you are im the lowest of the low that your mind was putted into because of errors from the sevond stage, when someone came up to you and told you something that breaks you right there and then. and you release it on something or someone you care" i suddenly remember memories that was not mind, i clutch my hand to my palm
"ruining, exploding, hurting your mindset and state that you imagen pain all over your body until. your body put you into the 'test'" flash of memory of daisuke when we first met suddenly bloom
i remember the hurtfull word he say before i ignore it completly and try to saw daisuke he is right now
when i protect the guitar–after that saw sound–and almost ruining the sexaphone i practice with auntie
'ah.' i understand now
he wasnt being rude, he was on a mission because i am a potential burst–
"but sometimes people die because they cant handle the burst" –that survive
"well i hope you remember that explanation, here is the target or victim" boss then put a file on the table. i can hear the boss chuckle trying to make a pun
"get it? burst is dangerous and you know–" i wince hearing him explain the joke.
'if its a joke...dont explain it'
i silently walk to the table grabbing the files.
'potential burst case 6355....WAIT 6355?!' my eyes widen– 6355? thats alot!
"but...i only saw..." i whisper to myself, daisuke probably already expirience burst because he have powers–or so i think– hana, kaito, lady aoi, kaede well it was obvious. and many if you count all in every division
"like i say, most of them die" the boss say loudly reading the answer from the back of my mind
"than...why would you waste your time.. monitoring them?" i suddenly ask a question
"well burst is very rare, black circus like to make those people an entertainment to the public covering people disgust of the 'un-real' power to them beliving it was a party trick" he say, i feel anger in the edge of his voice when he finish the sentance
"black circus like to present themselve.. harmless, fun and kind. just for the show"
"yet–" i saw him clutch his palm "they arent any of those rainbows.. and cupcakes shits" i flinch hearing the anger, sadness and guilt? in his voice
"its a cover up for there real identity. the white crow, a mafia orginization that owned a facility where they slaves kids shaping them into a potential burst so they can work under them" i saw his body shake
'...i wonder how old he is' i wonderly think, maybe he is 50? 65? because he looks.. so broken when he talks about this
like he was remembering someone he love that he lost, because of the white crow. because of black circus
"they do...many more things that didnt even COMPARE! to what WE DID!" i shudder hearing the sudden scream and the way he suddenly sat up with a quick movement that my brain trying to comprehanded, he relizes this and slowly sit back
"...arent..you guys in truce with the goverment? cant you guys just tell them?"
"even if we did they didnt care. all that they care that they are in truce with two orginization that filled with superpower people. they all hunger for power, for our power." i relize my mistake
"if i tell them they will be happy and probably–willingly to volunteer to help the white crow to make the facility bigger so they can gain more people with the same abilities as us to join theyre military force"
"they will not care...if its a 15 years old or a 12 years old...no." i dont know why, but i started to think of kaito and kaeru. they looks so young, like karl to.
even if im younger than both of them, i cant imagen kaito. a kid already rank bow
i gulp slowly and finnally open the file, i saw a kid
my breath hitched reading it
'13 years old..' i can feel a sadness loaming over me but quickly dissapear as always
i look at the image, a boy with black hair tied in a pony tail. wearing a school uniform, there was a carrot pen in his pocket. braces visible on his toothy smile
'itoshi..osamu' i almost crack a smile when i look at his first name
itoshi, he have the same name as my aunt
i look at the reports of his pass activity, he was in his second stage signs of burst is already noticable
"all you need to do is protect him from the white crow or black circus member, we dont know his ambition yet cus his a very bright and do many activities" i nod after reading the reports.
i slide it back to the table and walk to the door
"dont forget how he needs to enter the third stage." i know what he means
'i need to earn his trust–' i open the door 'and broke them'
i feel confidence, motivated. i feel like this is what i want to do.
it feels right and familiar
i open the door to walk to the elivator
i squeek when i saw the man that walk me to here
i saw him leaning to a door with the same retire– blue jeans with a black eye drawing on the left side
a pink t short with short sleeve
and a pink beanie, i search for a bow or a tie
but there were none found
"done?" he suddenly ask. i just nod finnally understanding why he say goodluck
"well, lets go" i dont understand this statement but i follow him reluctantly
***
he drop me off to a middle school and left me
freaking left me
'what will people think if they see a tired looking men outside a middle school?!' the guitar case suddenly feels heavy
i started to get nervous, the confidience slowly distinigrates.
i started to walk to the office, i still dont knos what im doing. but people reaction is diffrent from what i expected.
they didnt clutch theyre purse no–they just continue theyre normal activities
'...huh! people arent so judgemental in here!' i think positively
my mood suddenly gone up bringing my normal aura back
i knock on the office door and enter
"excuse me..." i mumbles
i still dont know why im here, i just follow what that guy told me
i can still hear the guy voice echood in my brain screaming 'just go to the office and tell them your looking for a job! easy peasy!'
'i didnt even finish collage because i got force to join this orginization for my own safety..'
i saw a woman siting on the desk that have a 'princible' on it
"um...i heard you guys looking for a teacher?" i can hear a queastioning tone in my own voice.
"ah! are you mr.fujita?" the woman answer kindly
'fujita? who?' i think she can see my confusion as she ask once again
"are you akira fujita sir?" than it click
"ah yes! im sorry i kinda space out" i smile awkwardly 'this must be what he meant'
"please sit down sir" i sat down
"your application is already here, your here to be a temporarily music teacher am i right?"
"ah yes, yes"
"its say here that your here for the expirience" she then procide to ask more question on the application only making me answer wether im right or wrong
luckily i got hired
i exited the office already worn oit from hearing question after question and at the end an explanation about the job
'makes me remember kaito...' i shudder
i walk to the front gate, minds already else where
i bump into a kid. i can feel them hit theyre heads on my chest and fall
i luckily catch the kid by theyre hands
"be carefull" i say pulling him up, i relizes his items have fell
"im sorry.." i heard him mumble before crouching down to pick up
i crouch down picking a carrot pen than giving it to them "here, let me help"
i feel his finger touch mine as he take it away from my hand
until then i finnally relizes it was the target
