(1 day after the encounter with Makima)
After Power arrived at Aki's house, if it could be called that with me and Denji there, it was like hell. And adding to the mix Power, who hadn't showered in practically months, was a loudmouth, and kept bothering everyone with his cat, it was truly an apocalypse on Earth.
What had happened with Makima and how my 'Eage' didn't warn me about Makima's smooth and deadly move, honestly had me scared.
'Maybe my eyes aren't fully developed, that's why I can't notice her most of the time?' Unknowingly, I had stayed on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with my visible red eye, which I had left uncovered since that day.
Putting my thoughts aside, I stood up and grabbed my broken sword, preparing to head to the organization. The same day I came back from the office, I went to the hospital without going home first, even though my shirt had a hole in it and I changed it to a better one, and brought food to Denji, who was probably hungry.
(Retrospective scene)
By the time I got to the hospital, my eyes had informed me of Denji's location 5 km away, and surprisingly, Aki was with him in his room.
Outside the room, Himeno was guarding a handcuffed Power, her cat still caged on the floor next to her. My 'Eage' was giving me information about everyone in the hospital and their condition including the location of each person.
Going up to the floor where Denji was, I walked down the hall and saw Himeno, who was crouching on the floor next to the wall in a bored manner, wearing her typical female version of the Hunter uniform that represented her status.
Next to her, was Power, staring at the ground with her hands cuffed.
Getting close enough, I stood next to Power with a playful smile and whispered in her ear.
"That's what you get for being a naughty girl," I said in a soft, playful voice being close to her ear.
Power, who was looking at the ground, suddenly shuddered and blushed upon hearing those words and the tone in which they were said, which belonged to a familiar voice.
Power squealed in surprise and jumped away from me.
Himeno upon hearing unintelligible words from a soft and playful voice, turned her head in the direction she came from and found Power blushing and turned away from Tanaka who had a mischievous smile on her face, observing Power's reaction. .
Himeno would blink once before looking at Tanaka and smiling at him.
"What did you do to the poor girl? Look at her, she's all nervous,". Himeno said with a mischievous smile.
"Hello, Himeno," I said, looking at Himeno with a kind smile and my red eye staring at her intently.
Seeing that look, Himeno raised a flirtatious eyebrow and a slight blush appeared on her face as she returned her gaze.
"It's good to see that you're as beautiful as ever," I said with a smile before turning to the door.
Himeno blushed a little more and smiled before trying to speak again, but she was interrupted by Aki, who came out of the room where Denji was with a stoic expression.
Aki, getting out of it, noticed Tanaka's presence and saw Power and Himeno's slightly flushed state, redirecting his attention to Tanaka once more before giving him a questioning look.
"You finished talking to Miss Makima pretty quickly,".Aki said with a serious look.
"It wasn't anything important,".Tanaka replied with a smile that conveyed his disdain, though deep inside he felt the opposite.
Tanaka's mind worked tirelessly, not only processing the constant stream of data but also pondering how the hell Makima had easily eluded his 'Eage'.
Sighing, Tanaka entered the room, ignoring Aki's puzzled look.
From there, Denji and Tanaka talked about everything that had happened and his current condition and recovery timeline.
But in the conversation a question from Denji came up, which was to be expected, but the strange thing was that no one else had asked about it, not even Makima.
"What was that attack of yours?" Denji said as he ate the burger I brought him.
"My Full Counter." Tanaka said with a gentle look and a confident posture.
"Your Full , what?" Denji said, looking confused as he looked at Tanaka, who was completely relaxed in his chair.
"My Full Counter. It's the technique that allows me to counter both physical and energy attacks," Tanaka explained as he looked at Denji with his visible eye.
Denji would go blank for a moment and then stare at the ceiling, still puzzled.
"That's the power I used to perform a counter attack, remember?" Tanaka said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I do, but is that how it works? I mean, it's definitely powerful, but I thought it would be more explosive, you know?".Denji said, sounding a little disappointed, but there was a hint of admiration in his voice.
"You can't complain about what you have; you can only make it better, and get better things." Tanaka said with a slightly irritated expression on his face.
(End of Flashback)
Ignoring the situation, I went to the association and quickly headed to a training room, which was an empty space with some weights and technical training equipment, but at the end of this room, there was only an empty space used for testing new techniques and attacks .
Heading to the back of the room, I placed my hand on a wall and focused on Raijin (Hiraishin no Jutsu). To my surprise, I felt that my energy had been successfully placed on the wall, and it didn't cost me any energy.
I stepped back a few meters and placed my hand on the ground, focusing on the Shiki formula of Raijin, which again was successfully placed without consequences.
"What the hell!" Tanaka exclaimed aloud and moved away from the spot to go to the left wall of the room and place his hand on it again.
Focusing his energy from him, he simply concentrated on his Shiki formula, which was successfully placed on the wall without consequences.
Tanaka would be somewhat stunned but happy to see that he had placed two marks on the front wall and the left wall, which were 30 meters apart, and one on the floor right in the center.
Stepping back, he placed his hand in the typical two-fingered posture in one hand with a closed fist.
The word Raijin passed through his mind from him, and instinctively, he teleported to the left wall in a white flash, then disappeared in another white flash and reappeared on the center wall without any consequences.
Although the data swirled in his mind, there were no consequences.
His mind was still relatively clear, and his energy was still at its peak.
Sighing in relief with a happy smile on his face, he prepared to use Raijin again, testing its limits.
For two hours, he continuously performed Raijin, and his mind about him was somewhat saturated, but he could manage a few more "jumps" before exhausting himself.
But before he could make another "jump," his recently alerted 'Eage' warned him of a presence that had been watching him until now, and finally, he heard applause and a somewhat unfamiliar voice to him.
"You're quite fast; all I could see were your flashes, but how you appear and disappear is quite unique. I didn't know of an ability like that," said a deep, raspy voice.
Turning to the voice, I saw a man dressed in a full gray trench coat with gray hair and a scar on the left side of his mouth, starting at his left lip and extending from there to his jaw.
"Who are you?" Tanaka asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead before looking at his soul with 'Eage' and seeing something that surprised him.
A kind of gray and black cloak covered part of his soul from him, and a handprint was marked on what would be the chest of his soul from him.
"My name is Kishibe," said the man identified as Kishibe with a stoic and calculating look.
**First of all, if you can give me reviews to know how I do it and that this story reaches more people, I would really appreciate it, thank you and see you tomorrow morning or afternoon**
