Chapter 25 - Wanted

[Author Note]

Disc: WXpPwmNrJA

Hey, so I know my upload schedule has been weird. I just had some burnout, which made me not want to write. I probably should've waited before starting this fic since it was a lot to write my previous one.

I'm going to continue this fic, but it's going to be inconsistent since I want to write at my own pace rather than feel like I'm forced to write.

3rd P.O.V.

A door slammed open as an executive sprinted through.

It would be a regular office if it weren't for the chairman of the JAA, who sits with narrowed eyes.

Soichi Amo, the current chairman, sighed. "What is it this time?"

Due to his position as chairman, he is responsible for everything related to the JAA, including problematic situations.

However, he wasn't ready for what he would hear next.

The executive caught his breath. "An unknown organization has attacked the JCC!"

Soichi leaned forward. "Give me the details."

This wasn't the time for panic. Even the current chairman was an assassin. Although not on the level of the Order, he knows when to take things seriously.

It didn't take long to give the rundown of the situation.

The executive continued. "In short, the group that Satoru Yotsumura had been investigating is currently looking for something."

Soichi couldn't help but think about something...or rather someone. 'Are they after Byodo?'

Only the chairman knew what the database truly was.

*knock*

*knock*

*knock*

He spoke. "Enter."

The door opened to a blonde man with a small smile.

Soichi crossed his hands with his fingers. "Asaki, I'm currently busy."

Sei's smile was gone as it morphed into a stern look. "I've pinned the source of the attack."

Soichi motioned his hand.

After taking a deep breath, Sei spoke. "Satoru Yotsumura has been investigating the organization, and it turns out that the suspected traitor, Toji Fushiguro, is on the island."

Toji Fushiguro.

Soichi would be lying if he wasn't intrigued by him.

He helped in the escort of his wife and daughter. In his mind, Toji Fushiguro launching the attack on the JCC makes little sense since he could've used his family as leverage to give up the database's location.

His eyes narrowed. "Are you positive? He assisted in the escort mission."

Sei nodded. "He showcased similar traits to those on the island, and my sources found evidence. The security team was each killed by a single strike to the throat. That level of skill isn't one of an amateur."

Soichi bit his thumb.

He had the power to put a hit on Toji, but something was telling him something was wrong with the entire situation.

However, if they didn't decide, the database would be compromised and valuable assets would be killed.

He closed his eyes as he came to a decision.

...

His eyes opened. "Neutralize Toji Fushiguro, using any means necessary. However, I don't want him killed."

...

Keeping him alive would give him more answers.

He could put out a hit for him to be neutralized since there was one factor on the island.

Someone who could take Toji down.

Sei nodded as he turned around, showcasing a small smile as he left the room.

The other executive in the room started sweating. "I'll get on it too."

He quickly ran out of the room and shut the door.

Soichi stood up and walked over to the glass behind him.

He spoke to no one. "I'm getting too old for this shit."

...

On The Island

*BAM*

Hyo takes a punch to the face.

Hiroshi smirked. "Come on, I'm getting bored here."

*pftwo*

Hyo spits blood to the side. 'My punches aren't doing shit to him. What a pain in the ass. It's like his body is made of titanium.'

Hiroshi followed up with a kick to his stomach, which Hyo could guard with both hands.

Hyo jumped back as he avoided another strike.

His eyes narrowed. 'This is bad. If my punches aren't working, I've gotta resort to another method.'

*grab*

As Hiroshi threw another fist at Hyo's face, Hyo grabbed his right arm and moved his head to the side to avoid the punch.

*BAM*

Since his left hand was free, he could punch him across his face.

However, instead of letting go, Hyo used his left hand to push Hiroshi's right arm upward.

*creek*

A metallic noise could be heard.

*BAM*

*BAM*

*BAM*

Blood started pouring down Hyo's face as he didn't let go.

As he kept punching, Hiroshi realized what he was doing.

His eyes widened. 'He's trying to bend my arm!'

*pop*

Hiroshi's arm stopped resisting as it snapped in half.

He recoiled as he jumped backward, removing Hyo from his arm. "THAT FUCKIN HURT!"

*drip*

Blood kept running down Hyo's face; however, he started smiling. "If I can't beat you, I might as well break you before I die."

Hyo didn't have any superhuman enhancements, but his body was supernatural in that he could tolerate immense pain.

Who cares if he has a few broken bones? The human body is surprisingly durable if you protect the right spots.

Hyo showed his resolve as he started walking toward Hiroshi with a demonic smile.

*ring*

He stopped when he heard an announcement in his earpiece.

...

"Toji Fushiguro is to be neutralized. Make sure he is alive."

...

Hyo's eyes widened. 'Keep him alive? Who the hell can take in that monster alive?'

It almost sounded insane. Hyo wondered if the JAA even knew what they were asking for.

He looked back up toward Hiroshi. 'In any case, I've still got to deal with this guy first.'

...

Toji P.O.V.

Why do I have to be the one to secure the students?

If the JAA doesn't trust me, why the hell are they having me escort these nobodies?

After I found a classroom, the old lady stopped by and told me to help her keep the students safe.

*sigh*

I'm not even getting paid for this shit.

It was a joke before, but I'm starting to want to kill Velcro.

*boof*

I shake my head as I pick up one of the students by the back of his shirt and throw him in a room with many complaints, although I don't care.

That's the last of the students here.

Suddenly, the hairs on my arms stand up.

Danger.

*slice*

I fall to the floor, dodging the strike, as three walls get cut with perfect precision.

...

...

I guess the JAA turned me into a target.

A wide smirk appears on my face as my eyes turn white. "I was wondering when I could fight you."

Slowly standing up, I turn around to see an old man with a drawn sword.

Sure enough, it's him.

...

...

Takamura.
