Chapter 2: A new beginning
"How?"
Ryugi couldn't believe his eyes.
"What did just happen?" Tatsuya thought
Ren looks at the person who cleaved Ryugi's body into half.
"That was unexpected" Ren said.
"Why did you cut him? We were reaching the climax" Ren asked.
"I was bored of standing there and watching the fight"
Tatsuya looks at the person who killed Ryugi. It was a girl with yellow hair and a katana. She is wearing a white jacket and is taller than Tatsuya. Her hair is tied up.
"Who are you!?"
"Yuki Wanmei , member of the third branch"
"So you are from the organisation" Tatsuya asked.
"Yes"
"What do you want" Tatsuya asked.
"I am here to save your ass" Yuki said.
"What?"
"You heard me"
"We need to bring the boy in alive" Ren said
"Why?" Yuki asked
"I don't know" Ren answered
"So you are not here to capture me" Tatsuya said.
"I don't know. That depends on you" Ren replied.
"Who are you" Tatsuya asked
"My name is Ren Ryuji"
"The captain of the third branch"
"Hmm"
"But it seems like you already knew about me" Ren said
"Who is she?" Tatsuya asks
"Oh I am sorry"
"My name is Yuki Wanmei"
"Member of the third branch"
"Hmm"
"Now that the situation is under control" Ren said
"We can deal with the girl later"
"For now we have to get the kid in our hands"
"It is easy said than done" Yuki said
"Yeah, the kid is stronger than he looks"
"How are you feeling kid" Ren asked
"Fine"
"I am fine"
"Good"
"We will have to report you at the organisation" Ren said
"Why?"
"That's what the higher ups said"
"What will they do with me" Tatsuya asks.
"I have no idea" Ren replied
"Will they experiment on me?"
Ren laughs and says "you are not some kind of alien or something"
"Well whatever" Tatsuya said
"You are not coming peacefully"
"Nope"
"But it doesn't matter" Ren said
"You are already too weak to move a muscle"
"What do you mean?" Tatsuya asked
"You see the katana that Ryugi was holding contains divine energy"
"That sword is made of a special material which can store the divine energy for a long time"
"And the sword which you received from the slash also contains a large amount of divine energy"
"The divine energy is too much for your body to handle"
"You will die within a day"
"In order to stay alive join the organisation" Ren said
"Are you trying to manipulate me into joining the organisation?" Tatsuya asked
"Think what you want" Ren said
"Let's go"
"You don't have any other option"
"If you come with us peacefully then the higher ups will help you"
"I don't trust them"
"Don't worry they won't hurt you" Ren said
"Hmm"
"There is no way out" Ren said
"If you want to live join the organisation"
"Well if I don't have a choice"
"I will have to join the organisation"
"But I want to talk to someone before I join"
"Fine, but hurry up"
Tatsuya calls Shizuka
"Are you alright"
"Yes I am fine" Shizuka said
"Good"
"I am joining the organisation"
"Why"
"I don't have a choice"
"You could have refused"
"I don't think so"
"They have something on me"
"If I don't join then there will be consequences"
"What are you going to do now?"
"I will have to join the organisation"
"You will have to give me an explanation"
"I promise"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Ren and Yuki looked at Tatsuya
"Are you done"
"Yes"
"Let's go"
Tatsuya was brought into the third branch of the organisation.
They asked him a few questions.
"So, let's start"
"State your name"
"Tatsuya Shindo"
"Do you have a broken gate"
"Yes"
"Hmm"
"So you are a descendent of the Shindo clan"
"Yes"
"Hmm"
"Do you have any family members"
"None"
"Hmm"
"How many lives have you taken"
"One"
"Hmm"
"Can you prove it"
"No"
"Hmm"
"I think that is enough"
"For the time being you will be put in a cell"
"The higher ups will decide what to do with you"
Tatsuya is brought to a cell and is asked to rest. He lies on the bed and starts thinking.
"I don't understand the purpose of these questions"
"Maybe they are trying to get more information about the Shindo clan"
"I wonder how will I get out of this mess"
Tatsuya is lost in thoughts and suddenly falls asleep.
A week has passed since the incident and Tatsuya is still in the cell.
"Looks like I will have to wait"
"But I can't do anything"
"If they decide to torture me I will not be able to fight back"
"I don't think I have the energy to even fight a low level demon"
"This is really frustrating"
"I should ask them what are they planning to do"
"Maybe I will get a proper answer"
Just then the door opens and a man in a black suit enters the room.
"So this is the rumoured Shindo clan's descendent"
"He looks normal"
"Hmm"
"So why am I here"
"You are here because of the incident that happened a week ago"
"Why did the incident happen"
"It is not that important"
"We want to ask you a question"
"Go on"
"Are you able to control your powers"
"I have never tried"
"Hmm"
"Then, we will have to train you"
"If you don't train your powers can harm you and others around you"
"You will be trained in the third branch under acting captain Mirazawa"
"But you have to prove your strength first"
"Hmm"
"So you will have to fight Mirazawa"
"What if I refuse"
"If you refuse we will have to kill you"
"But we don't have the right to kill you"
"Why"
"The higher ups will kill us if they know that we killed you"
"What"
"It seems like the higher ups are interested in you"
"Interested?"
"Yeah, they are very interested in you"
"What makes me so special?"
"I don't know"
"You will have to ask the higher ups"
"For the time being, we will have to take you to the training grounds"
"The fight will be starting in one month"
"Hmm"
"I think we are done here"
"Let's go"
"Yeah"
"But I have a question"
"Yes?"
"What will happen after the training"
"Well, if you pass the training, we will have to bring you to the organisation's headquarter"
"I don't think that I will be able to pass the training"
"Why is that?"
"I am injured left and right and also I'm bad at controlling my power"
"Don't worry the third branch has the best doctors"
"I can't even stand up"
"Well, you are in no condition to fight"
"You are still in the organisation's facility"
"If the higher ups wanted to kill you, you would be dead"
"Why would they want to kill me"
"I don't know"
"Well whatever"
"Let's go"
"Yeah"
After an hour the two of them arrived at the training grounds.
"This place is huge"
"Yeah, it is"
"You can't see the end"
"Yeah"
"There is no one here"
"That's because this is a private area"
"So only a few people can enter here"
"Yeah"
"Let's go"
"Yeah"
The two of them walk to the entrance and a woman comes out.
"Who are you"
"We are here for the training"
"Show your credentials"
"Here"
"Hmm"
"You may enter"
"Thank you"
"Let's go"
"Yeah"
Tatsuya was led to the medical room where he was given a check up.
"You seem to be healthy"
"But your body is filled with wounds"
"Yes, it is"
"I have never seen someone as wounded as you"
"Well, I was attacked by a semi S class"
"I have no idea what happened to me"
"Your injuries are healed but your body is still weak"
"You will have to rest for a month"
"A month"
"Yes, if you use your powers now, your body will break down"
"What"
"That's just a warning"
"Don't push yourself"
"If you break your body, you will have a hard time"
"Hmm"
"For the time being, you will have to stay in this room"
"Ok"
"You can leave"
"Yes"
After the doctor left Tatsuya was left alone in the room.
"Well, I can't do anything"
"Might as well rest"
"It seems like I won't be able to escape the organization's grasp"
"I hope I will survive this"
"If not, I will be tortured"
"And I can't even fight back"
"This is bad"
"I have no idea what the higher ups are planning"
"Will they try to control me?"
"Hmm"
"I can't believe this is happening"
"But I have no other choice"
"I will have to survive"
"But I need to find a way out"
"The organization is full of strong people"
"If they decide to kill me, I will be dead"
"There is no way out"
"The higher ups will probably force me to join them"
"But I don't have a choice"
"Well, might as well sleep"
"I will have to wake up tomorrow"
"Yeah"
Tatsuya closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
The next day Tatsuya is woken up by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me"
"Oh, it's you"
"Yes, I have brought the food"
"Thank you"
"Come on in"
"Thank you"
"What is it"
"Just curious"
"About what?"
"You haven't left the room yet"
"What's wrong"
"Nothing"
"Hmm"
"So how is it?"
"How is what"
"The food"
"It's ok"
"Good"
"Hmm"
"Is there something you want to ask?"
"Hmm"
"What is it?"
"Do you know anything about the higher ups"
"Why do you ask"
"I am just curious"
"Hmm"
"Do they plan to keep me alive?"
"I don't know"
"But they did ask me to take care of you"
"So they have some sort of interest in you"
"Hmm"
"Do you want me to find out what they want"
"Can you?"
"Yes, I can"
"But I will have to be careful"
"Ok, thank you"
"Don't worry about it"
"But, are you sure that the higher ups are interested in me?"
"Yes, I am"
"Hmm"
"Why would the higher ups want me?"
"I don't know"
"What if the higher ups have something against me?"
"I don't think so"
"Hmm"
"Anyways, I have to go"
"Thank you for the food"
"No problem"
"I will see you later"
"Bye"
"Bye"
After the woman left Tatsuya started thinking.
"So, the higher ups are interested in me"
"Why?"
"Maybe they want to control me"
"Or, maybe they want to make me work for them"
"Hmm"
"There are many possibilities"
"I need to be careful"
"Well, I have to rest"
"Might as well eat"
"I will have to talk to the higher ups later"
"I will have to think of a plan"
"I have no idea what the higher ups are planning"
"I will have to be careful"
"If they find out that I'm planning something"
"I will have a hard time"
"Hmm"
"For the time being, I will have to think of a plan"
"If the higher ups are not interested in me, I will have to escape the organization"
"But, if the higher ups are interested in me, I will have to work for them"
"That doesn't sound good"
"But I have no choice"
"I can't run away"
"Well, I will have to find out what the higher ups are planning"
"I hope everything works out"
"Yeah"
"Hmm"
Tatsuya continues eating the food.
After he finished the food he laid on the bed and fell asleep.
He is awoken by a knock on the door.
"Who is it"
"It's me"
"Come in"
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"I am feeling much better"
"That's good"
"So, how are things going?"
"Pretty good"
"Have you heard anything about the higher ups"
"No, not yet"
"Hmm"
"What?"
"Nothing"
"It's nothing"
"Don't worry about it"
"I will figure out what the higher ups are planning"
"How"
"Don't worry about it"
"Anyways, I have to go"
"See you later"
"See ya"
After the girl left Tatsuya starts thinking.
"Hmm"
"She was acting strange"
"She didn't tell me anything about the higher ups"
"That's weird"
"Hmm"
"Maybe she was trying to hide something"
"But, I can't help but feel worried"
"Maybe I am just paranoid"
"Hmm"
"I need to find out what the higher ups are planning"
"Or I will be in big trouble"
"I need to figure out a plan"
"I can't let the higher ups control me"
"They will force me to do things I don't want to do"
"If the higher ups find out what I am planning, I will be in big trouble"
"They will probably torture me or kill me"
"I need to be careful"
"Hmm"
"Well, I can't do anything now"
"I will have to wait for the time being"
"I need to rest"
"Yeah"
Tatsuya lies on the bed and falls asleep.
A week has passed and Tatsuya is still recovering. He has been eating three meals a day and has been taking the medicine that the doctor prescribed him.
Tatsuya is sitting on the bed.
"So, how are you feeling"
"I am fine"
"Hmm"
"I am feeling much better"
"That's great"
"When will I be able to train?"
"I don't know"
"Hmm"
"You can't rush things"
"Hmm"
"Have you heard anything from the higher ups"
"No, not yet"
"Hmm"
"Don't worry"
"I will find out what the higher ups are planning"
"You don't have to worry"
"Ok"
"So, what is the next step?"
"I don't know"
"I guess, you will have to wait for the doctor"
"Ok"
"Well, I will be going now"
"See you later"
"Bye"
"Bye"
Tatsuya is left alone in the room.
"Hmm"
"I need to find out what the higher ups are planning"
"If they force me to do things I don't want to do"
"They will probably force me to do things that will benefit the organization"
"I can't let that happen"
Suddenly he hears a knock on the door it was the man in black suit.
"How are you feeling"
"Fine"
"Hmm"
"You will have to stay here for the next few weeks"
"I will be training under the third branch captain"
"Her name is Mirazawa"
"Mirazawa?"
"Yes"
"Hmm"
"Do you know anything about her?"
"No, not yet"
"Hmm"
"But you will have to meet her today"
"Today?"
"Yes"
"Okay"
"Come with me"
"Yeah"
Tatsuya follows the man to the training ground.
"Here we are"
"Where is she"
"She is probably in the locker room"
"Go ahead"
"Ok"
"Don't forget, she is a S class"
"Yeah"
Tatsuya enters the locker room.
"Hello"
"Huh?"
"Who are you"
"I am Tatsuya Shindo"
"Are you Mirazawa?"
"Yes"
"Nice to meet you"
"So, are you here to train?"
"Yeah"
"I have never seen a boy as young as you"
"Well, I guess there is a first time for everything"
"So, when are we going to start"
"Right now"
"Ok"
"Follow me"
"Yeah"
The two of them head to the training grounds.
"Before training you I want to make sure if you're strong enough"
"Fight me"
"So, are you ready?"
"Yes"
"Good"
Tatsuya attacks Mirazawa but Mirazawa blocks with an unknown ability. Tatsuya is amazed by the defence of Mirazawa.
"Good, now come at me"
"Okay"
"Come on, attack me"
"Fine"
Tatsuya charges at Mirazawa and tries to punch her.
"Huh"
Tatsuya punches her, but he is instead blown away by her punch
"Woah, that was strong"
"Of course"
"You are too weak to defeat me"
"Yeah, I can see that"
"Now, I will show you what I can do"
Mirazawa's aura changes and her eyes change color.
