A few days later,

Shadow Vanguard 'SV' finally has a new member who plays an important role. Asahi, Ai and Fukushima participated in developing the SV facility which was previously only carried out by Takaya. Ai and Fukushima finally found a place to develop more freely, where they did not need anyone's permission to create equipment that might be useful to make everyone's work easier and develop existing combat equipment to be much better. Asahi, who was finally able to understand her powers little by little together with Takaya and they both trained to be able to control their power.

The staff and people inside also welcomed them enthusiastically, making them comfortable rather than stressed. The three of them begin to understand Takaya's intentions, where strength is not only used to fight, but also becomes hope for themselves and the people around them. They also managed to save more people thanks to help from Ai who helped them become central control when carrying out rescue missions. Asahi's fast and accurate abilities made the mission run smoothly. Takaya and Fukushima studied a lot of intelligence about the existence and potential of people who might be the reincarnation of ancient warriors.

At the chief's office, Takaya and Fukushima are looking at the file that Bella gave them a few days ago. The file contains information regarding potential students who may be reincarnated ancient warriors. But they are interested in 2 people, they are Sanna Meguma and Saega Onami. For the reason that Sanna has indeed shown her strength but she cannot use this strength consciously. Then Saega, according to the report Lania gave, maybe he is related to the ancient warrior who attacked the northern base. But Fukushima felt strange because Saega is a good friend of Fukushima.

However, it cannot be denied that the two of them are the people with the most potential, Takaya is actually curious about Sanna,

"Fukushima, does Sanna Meguma have any special abilities?" Takaya asked Fukushima.

"She is in the top 2 below Asahi when it comes to shooting, her fighting ability may be lacking but she is quite able to use the surrounding area to defend, she is a marksman type." Fukushima replied Takaya, (Pointing at her last name.) Same as her big sister, Kanna Meguma, they are specialized with that."

"Kanna Meguma… Former member of the Elite Team, second in command of that team, (he presses the communication button on his desk.) Lieutenant Lania, I have something to ask."

You heard gunshots and Asahi's voice as if he was attacking,

"Ara Takaya, what is it? I'm in the middle of training right now…"

"Don't mind about it, I get it done quick, Sanna Meguma, the younger sister of former Elite Team member Kanna Meguma, what do you know about them?"

"Oh them, both of them are alike, back then they were such carrying siblings, I often see Sanna come to the base to bring some goodies and other things for her sister…"

"Both of them are good at shooting guns though, they also had held a shooting competition just for the two of them to have fun, but as far as I know Sanna never wanted to join the XAG or the military in the first place."

"Everything began to change since the death of Hiroaki Kamiya, the first commander of the Elite Team to die in battle."

"Kanna seems off, she even accidentally almost shot her own little sister because she lost focus."

"Since then, Sanna never came to the base again, until finally 1 month ago she left us with a statement that she had betrayed us."

"This is just my personal opinion, Commander Hiroaki's death really hurt her, even when he died Hiroaki asked General Vanny to continue his leader status in the Elite Team,"

"(She stops the training and goes to the drinking machine) I felt there was jealousy between them because their relationship seemed to have changed since General Vanny took charge."

"(She sits at the bench) I can't say any further because General Vanny forbade me to, but General Vanny looked so guilty about Kanna's leaves that she personally took care of her younger sister Sanna to join the academy, and aalso to protect her from being pulled by Kanna in the future."

"Do you think it would be a good idea for us to also recruit Sanna? She also has the potential to have the strength of an ancient warrior." Takaya asked Lania for advice,

"(She chuckled) It's strange if you ask for advice from me, but I think it's good, besides she can freely develop her abilities, we can also supervise her, and it also feels less like it's between you guys there are only attackers, what's more this one attacker looks like he really needs- arggh!!"

Takaya and Fukushima were confused when they heard Lania's voice suddenly shouting and scolding someone,

"You damn kid! Eat that!"

"What just happened?" Fukushima looked at Takaya,

"Dunno…" Takaya winked.

Suddenly another voice call joining them,

"Sanna indeed has potential, but she can't take out her astral armor, making it difficult for me to detect what power she actually has." it was Ai's voice.

"But I have an idea for it, recently I developed a tool to make her able to transform to her astral armor, by channeling her power into this device, She can transform to her astral armor even though it is only in its basic form, because this tool is like a battery that must be charged And when the battery runs out, he will deactivate the transformation." She showed me a picture of armbands that she had developed.

"So this is an advanced version of the D.V device that you developed, but it can only be used by those of us who have the power of ancient warriors." Takaya giving his view about the tool,

"That's right, that's why this might help, but still I don't agree with using this tool for combat, this tool is only for training to control her powers, she must be able to control herself without it." Ai said.

"I agree! Let's invite Sanna here!" Another voice joined the conversation.

"Sanna is my rival when it comes to shooting, and I also felt something strange when we were practicing," Asahi's voice was heard by all of them,

"What is it, Asahi?" Takaya asked,

"(She sits on the same bench as Lania) At that time I practiced shooting with her, but strangely she managed to dodge all my shots, even when I ambushed her from her blind spot, suddenly she shot me without looking at me! And every time she shot, I saw that the speed of the bullet was much faster than the speed of the bullet I shot, to the point where my hearing was affected."

Takaya looking at Fukushima,

"Rely on your hearing huh…" Takaya mumbled.

"Can I leave her to you?" Takaya refers to Asahi,

"Of course-"

"(Cuts Asahi) Before that, I want to make sure about something…" Lania said,

"Understood, Do your thing Lieutenant." Takaya said that and cut the call.

Fukushima looked at Takaya, "Are you sure about that?"

Takaya smiled, "It's fine, just trust her."

Fukushima still doubted Takaya's decision, but he felt that it was okay to trust Takaya's thoughts.

The next day…

All the irregular students gathered in the field area to practice under Lania's guidance, All students except Annabelle. Takaya and the others silently watched Sanna and Saega. Not long after, Lania started the practice by warmly welcoming students, explaining the purpose of the exercise to be carried out and other rules. Just like the exercises that students usually do. After the explanation was finished, Lania walked towards all the objects covered in black cloth.

"Alrighty (walks to the object) today I have a special shooting target," she pulled the black cloth and you could see what was covered before. It was a human-shaped shooting target. But simultaneously Takaya, Asahi, Ai and Fukushima and Sanna were shocked to see this object.

"This is the target, you definitely know who this person is." Lania said that while smiling broadly. "Why does it have to be shaped like this? This is so you remember the traitor's face."

Takaya and 3 others made eye contact and turned to Lania with a serious look.

"I will introduce you once again, the face on that object is a former member of the Elite team who betrayed, joined 5 years ago, and has a high Major rank,"

"(Walk closer to the thing) Acted as the second commander of the Elite Team, and was also instrumental in winning the battle in Ganilonia 3 years ago."

A gasp was heard from Sanna's mouth, she could be seen glaring at the face on the object. He began to breathe heavily, his eyes watered, and his hands began to shake.

"Sanna? Are you okay?" Hopefully approached Sanna who looked strange. Without answering anything, Asahi approached Saega and grabbed Saega's hand who was trying to calm Sanna.

"Let her be.." Asahi said to Saega.

Saega looked confused and raised her eyebrows, annoyed by Asahi's actions. But he still followed what she said.

"Therefore, remember this, the name of this person is..." Lania turned to Sanna, "Kanna Meguma-"

A gunshot was heard suddenly from Sanna's direction. She was seen holding his gun and firing the shot just now. all the students including Lania were shocked by the sound of Sanna's gunshot. Realizing that this was too much for her, Sanna apologized for what happened. Lania didn't answer anything and walked towards Sanna.

"Come with me to the office after this." Lania said to Sanna in a whisper.

Then they continued their activities.

—----

During break time, Asahi and Ai, who were tidying up their training equipment, suddenly approached Saega. Asahi looked at Saega and greeted her,

"Saega, what up-"

"(Pulling Asahi's shirt collar) Can you explain what you did earlier and let that happen? Do you think everyone is as strong as you?"

"Saega-"

"(Raises her hand.) Ai, Do not interfere."

"You can blame me whatever you want, but it is not our capacity to handle that, Rather than that, can you let me go? wouldn't it actually be bad if other people saw you like that?" Asahi calmly answered Saega.

"(Saega let off her hand from Asahi.) Isn't it our capacity? still he is my friend, someone like you will not understand the feeling of losing a family member." Saega sarcastically said that to Asahi.

"If you consider him a friend, you should stop it." Saega leaves Asahi.

Asahi and Ai just kept quiet and let her go.

"Ai, you feel it?" Asahi looked at Saega who was starting to walk away.

"Yeah, There's no mistaking it if she's the one." Ai said that and swallowed her saliva, "Stay careful Asahi, we just opened the door-"

"I know…"

—---

At the front of the office room, Sanna came out of the room with puffy eyes. A face that looks sad, and a gaze that keeps looking down.

"Yo." A female voice called Sanna.

"(Turning towards the source of the sound.) How long have you been standing there, Asahi?" Sanna said.

"5 minutes I think, then accompany me to change clothes, the others have changed first." Asahi smiled at her.

"(Sanna Walks away from her.) You really don't have anything to do, do you?"

"(Follows Sanna.) Hey, I'm waiting for you, you know."

They both walked towards the changing room. When they got there they started to take off their clothes, revealing the white and clean skin of the two beautiful girls. Asahi looked at Sanna's chest which was much bigger than his, making him a little embarrassed and jealous.

"(Wearing her uniform.) You've been looking at my chest, you have one too." Sanna said.

"(Holds her chest.) Hehe just imagining this little body could be like you, ahhh can't wait!"

Asahi said that with a happy delusion.

Sanna laughed while wearing her skirt.

"Sanna, let's go to the rooftop, I wanna talk about something with you…" Asahi invited him to go to the rooftop academy.

"Just wear your uniform already, or we're not going there." Looked at Asahi, still naked.

—----

Meanwhile at the rooftop,

They walked towards the bench there. A place that is relatively quiet and rarely visited is a good place to talk face to face.Sanna sat on a bench while Asahi sat on the wall of the fish pond.

"So, did Lieutenant Lania scold you?" Asahi asked her.

"The opposite is true... She actually dogeza and apologized to me, I felt sorry for her." Sanna tells that with slight laughter.

"Do- geza… She is overdoing it after all, she deserves that." Asahi said.

They laughed because they imagined Lania prostrating herself. Not long after, they fell silent for a moment.

"Sanna, about your older sister, did you have time to communicate after she left?" Asahi asked.

"Huh?" Sanna confused.

"(nervous) Ahhh… Forget it, I'm just curious, it's not like I want to know because-"

"About last week, the night before Takaya's first day." Sanna Seeing the necklace he was wearing and opening it, "He asked how we were, and asked me to leave XAG and come with her."

"(Clench her fist.) Then what do you do?" Asahi asked.

"Chasing and shooting him, but only a drone emits a hologram." Sanna closed her eyes, "If only I had the power…"

Asahi felt sorry for continuing to talk about her sister,

"You seem close to Saega…" Asahi tries to change the topic of conversation.

"Uwah, don't try to read my mood Asahi, but yeah we're close, She is my childhood friend after all…" Sanna jokingly mocks Asahi's change of topics.

"(Laughed) Now I get why she is doing that to me…"

"(Chuckled) Pulling your collar? That girl really can't control her emotions, sorry about that…" Sanna said it was normal.

"You sure know about her behavior, but I don't blame her… I heard about her lost sister."

"Yeah, her little sister lost about a month ago and still no information about it until now."

"That's why he entered this academy because he wanted to find his little sister and also since his powers awakened..." Sanna looked at the skies, "I remember very well when her powers first awakened, her aura was very scary, like the angel of death, no... like a demon. Luckily because I was scared I managed to stop her with my power." Sanna explained.

Asahi was silent for a moment and took out his smartphone,

"(Handing a phone to Sanna.) Does it look like this pic?"

Sanna was surprised to see the picture Asahi showed. "Y-yeah, it's the same as what I saw at that time, but why are there lieutenants Lania and also Takaya?!"

"(Taking the smartphone back) Sanna, I can't explain it here myself, but if you want to know everything I want you to come with me when today's class ends, I promise you I will explain everything and do whatever in my power to help you."

Sanna saw Asahi's serious face and was sure there was something she didn't know behind it.

She wonders what she will see next…
