Chapter 5 - Prinnacle

A group of GE members and two ninjas arrived at a spot in the middle of the morning, with bright sunshine illuminating the day. The entire GE group began following the two ninjas as they walked down the empty road. From the left, one ninja whispered to the other, "It's kind of scary when they follow us, wearing hoodies over their heads in this hot weather." The other ninja continued walking and whispered back, "But aren't we also wearing something on our heads?" The ninja touched his head and confirmed, "Yep..."

The two ninjas then abruptly stopped and sprinted towards Hansen's lifeless body, pointing at it. The GE group was filled with shock, and one member whispered, "So this is Sir Hansen's corpse... unbelievable." The two ninjas chimed in, saying, "Yes, we found his body here. We ninjas have super senses; we can sense things within a radius of a hundred to two hundred meters."

The GE group was overwhelmed by the shock of Hansen's death. In the midst of this somber moment, one member of the GE group stepped up.

As that member stepped forward, she asked, "Do any of you know who could have done this?" A woman in the group responded, and the two ninjas nodded in agreement, saying, "No, we don't know the enemy's name. Perhaps some of you possess abilities that could provide more information about the culprit or valuable evidence."

At that moment, another person from the GE group stepped forward and lowered his hoodie. He said, "I will use my abilities to help, but it can be quite painful." The rest of the group became aware of this member named Hiro, and a sense of anticipation filled the air. The other ninja approached the GE group, directing his question to Hiro. He asked, "What kind of abilities do you possess?"

Hiro replied, "Well, I have the ability to see the distant past. However, when I use this power, I need to create a large protective circle around the area. It allows me to witness events that transpired in the past, but it takes its toll on me, often causing me to cough up blood."

The other ninja, who was already with the GE group, thought to himself, "So he can see the past? That's truly an incredible ability." He then nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead and do your work." The GE group and the two ninjas gathered in the middle of the road, ready to assist Hiro in unlocking the secrets hidden within the past events.

One group of the GE members began to think to themselves, "When Hiro creates a huge circle around here, he can perceive events from the past. However, if he delves further into the past, he suffers significant damage. If he were to see events from twenty hours ago, it could be fatal. He can't access events that occurred beyond that time."

As Hiro lifted his hand and placed it on the ground, the two ninjas felt a surge of surprise as the ground started to emit a glowing purple light, expanding rapidly. Hiro had initiated the process successfully, and his mind became flooded with past events. As the memories continued to flow, he witnessed the events that had taken place in this area nineteen hours ago.

During his perception, Hiro not only saw Sir Hansen but also caught sight of the enemy. However, the enemy appeared as either a young boy or a man. Hiro attempted to focus on the enemy's appearance, but it started to blur. Despite the blurriness, he could discern some details. The enemy seemed to be a man with long black hair, wearing a brown hat, and giving off the impression of a soldier or a security personnel for the farm areas. Hiro observed as the man raised his hand and shot Hansen. Although this sight shook Hiro's mind, he managed to catch a glimpse of the man's eyes, which were yellow. Overwhelmed, Hiro exclaimed, "It's yellow!"

As Hiro's mental strain reached its peak, the large protective circle began to dissipate. His eyes were nearly bleeding when a woman from the GE group rushed to Hiro's side, preventing him from falling. Hiro lifted his head and said, "It must be a man with long black hair and yellow eyes, wearing a brown hat. He appears to be a soldier, possibly armed with two guns."

As one member of the GE group, positioned behind the two ninjas, Hiro, and the woman, whispered, "Good job, Hiro! Now I can find the enemy and have an enjoyable fight against them. It's been so long since I've faced a worthy opponent who defeated Sir Hansen." Hiro fell unconscious, and the two ninjas bowed down in gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much." They then stood up and added, "We hope you all successfully complete this mission against our enemy."

Suddenly, the two ninjas vanished from sight, moving at such high speeds that it shocked #4 of the GE group. #4 whispered in astonishment, "Those two ninjas just disappeared in a blink of an eye... I could barely keep up."

Meanwhile, the woman lifted Hiro and began carrying him, while the rest of the GE group turned around and started walking north. Determined, they declared, "We are going to take down our enemy and avenge Sir Hansen." Unbeknownst to them, they were unaware of the enemy's current location, but they were confident in their capabilities to track them down soon.

As Zanki Yoru finished taking two headache pills from the drugstore, he began walking home. While on his way, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen. Unbeknownst to him, a large red circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet. Startled, Zanki Yoru looked down and exclaimed, "What the?! Are the Magic Masters here for their allies?"

As this strange occurrence unfolded, Zanki Yoru started to vanish before the eyes of the people on the nearby streets. They were left bewildered, and their voices filled the air with confusion as they exclaimed, "What just happened?"
