Strange. Aurelia had in contact with many people like him, but something about him really piqued her curiosity.  But the question of how she felt so, and why, was unexplainable. His face, his expression expressed a hidden depth that was worth a thousand words. It was as if beneath that goatee and tough facial features were a story to be told, to be unraveled with great intrigues, or sorrow...

Her gaze was met with a playful wink. She was taken a little aback with the response though that she was stranger to these things. She, in fact, had met a handful of men who approached with the flirty attitude.

But in the end, he did not have much to do with her. The girl took one last glance at Sparks before turning to the principal.

[color=fe9a2e]”Ok, Mr Hisakawa. This is gonna be informations that I would not want anyone to know at the moment.”[/color] She had a nod of agreement with her other friends and comrades before making the statement. [color=fe9a2e]”The students were targeted by a certain underworld hero killer clan, known by the name of the Shadow Clan.”[/color]

Mr.Hisakawa simply nodded signaling for her to continue with the briefing. “I see”, could it be that they’ve made their move on Takeshi and michiko already?

[color=fe9a2e]”It wasn’t a single villain, but a couple of them. We faced three, I don’t know if there is anymore.”[/color] She said. [color=fe9a2e]”They are highly skilled in every aspects, both with their shadow quirks and physical prowess, with one able to create wolves and other living creatures. The other could use shadows like his limbs, or even weapons.”[/color] She turned to her brother, knowing that he also witnessed it.

[color=fff257]”Yeah, it’s true. He can use his shadowy made tentacles to do various things. Hurl stuff around and even use it in conjunction with his sword.”[/color]

[color=fe9a2e]”The guy’s dead though.”[/color] Aurelia continued, as the other three was in shock for the statement. [color=fe9a2e]”He committed a suicidal attack. I was alright, but that guy...if it weren’t for the help of this particular woman, he may have died for real. The other two left the scene shortly after we and another small group of heroes arrived.”[/color]

“I’ve encountered them before personally, it’s in your best interest not to pursue this group unless your well prepared. They’re an SSS ranked threat, highly trained assassins and to be honest. I’m surprised none of our guys died. The only explanation for that is they must’ve have had specific orders preventing them from going on a massacre.”

Mr.Hisakawa placed his hand to his chin before looking back towards the room in which Reina was inside. “Each member is essentially a one man army, what they lack in quantity they make up in quality of the clansmen they produce. As you all are now, it would be unwise to pursue them currently, especially you Acion.” He specifically pointed out Acion being the only one who wasn’t licensed out of the group

The name call made the one in question a little hard to answer. The boy glanced away as his sister replied. 

[color=fe9a2e]”You’re right. But we’re the Sky Knights. We’ll have to face them at one point or another. I’m not completely certain but not many hero groups are familiar with these groups. So we’ll most likely have to be at the forefront of this. But not at the moment.”[/color] Then, she turned to her brother. [color=fe9a2e]”As for him, I did not really expect a fight on his day of volunteering. But if there’s anything, I’d take responsibility for him. He did make a wise decision that helped us in the fight.”[/color]

[color=ed1c24]”Oh, and you remember that moment when this guy was grabbing that girl, Kaida, away.”[/color] The dragon-spirit Sky Knight added.

[color=fe9a2e]”Ah, that. They seemed intent on taking the silver-haired girl, I remember her name being Kaida Beaumont, away, declaring that she would be under clan protection. And there is this guy who had pretty much the same type of quirk as them, but fought for us. They seemed determined to kill this guy.”[/color]

[color=fff257]”You mean-”[/color] 

[color=fe9a2e]”About that girl too.”[/color] His brother’s words were cut short as Aurelia turned to her friend, Dragunov. [color=fe9a2e]”Is it true that she is your nemesis? Or the daughter of your nemesis? If that so, then we may figure out why she is under the clan’s protection instead of being targeted”[/color]

The girl being asked clutched her forehead with her two fingers, [color=ed1c24]”I’m not entirely sure myself.”[/color] thus made Aurelia in a confusion. [color=ed1c4]”I heard the name is Beaumont, so I have had my suspicion. My assertion at that time serves to allow the guys to attack undetected. In truth, I’m really intrigued to find out.”[/color] 

Wait what?

[color=fff257][i]’Kaida has that sort of background?’[/i][/color] 

Acion was the only one not available when that detail was being displayed. Her parents were villains? How was that even possible? She looked so nice and delicate. It must have been some sort of misunderstanding or some sort of complicated circumstances. That kindness and gentleness couldn’t be linked with a background like that. But like Forte said, she wasn’t sure. And he too wasn’t. 

He placed his hand on his chin as he tried to ept into the background, but was discreetly waiting for the principal’s answer to this great question in his mind. 

Hisakawa was more than knowledgeable about all the information that the 4 was attempting to piece together. Kaida being the child of that French tyrant as well as Takeshi and michiko being apart of the shadow clan. He couldn’t tell his underlings just yet as they wouldn’t understand why we had decided to let them attend Komei. Though his eyes widened a bit at the thought that they’d declare her under the clans protection. Why exactly would they want Kaida? They have all the money they’d ever want so they’re wouldn’t be a point in kidnapping the girl. The group a large amount of prestige to go with that money, the last possible explanation is power.

But it didn’t make sense to him at the moment to kidnap her for power? He broke out of his deep thought as Forte asked if that was her nemesis.

“There is still not enough information left to create a concrete reasoning left. We have a lot of theories yet too little definites. Our best bet is to wait until all of the students recover from their injuries and questioning them before we take further action” 

[color=fe9a2e]”Yeah. I second it.”[/color]

[color=ed1c24]”But-”[/color] Forte tried to make her protest but Aurelia placed her hand on her shoulder as she looked into her eyes

[color=fe9a2e]”I know you’re very dedicated to your clan, but you can’t be hasty here. They had just been victimized, so it’s best not to do anything at the moment.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]”We’ll put the Shadow Clan matter on hold for now and focus on different threats in this city.”[/color] The psychic sighed dejectedly. [color=6ecff6]”I feel like we’re gonna be alone in this fight against them. The hero groups are having it too easy because the city has been too peaceful.”[/color] 

[color=fe9a2e]”I have that same fear too. And it’s not going to be just a fight.”[/color] Aurelia added. [color=fe9a2e]”It’s going to be a war...”[/color] 

When the statement was given, the stakes suddenly got a lot higher. Especially for someone like Acion, who would be inevitably be involved one way or another. There was no way out. He could bail out, but it would just be a shameful thing. Knowing evil out there but did not take any actions against them would just be a nursery for them. But knowing that even his sister, a powerful pro hero was even outclassed by them, he knew he had a tremendous task to do. 

That afternoon was just a glimpse of his future that he had chosen for himself. It wasn’t just any fairy tales he imagined for himself. This was the big league. Everyday would be an uphill battle that had to be taken with complete seriousness. His goals, thoughts and dedications had been changed abruptly swiftly. 

[color=fe9a2e]”Anyway, that is everything that went on in that afternoon. Everything important at least. For the record, I think I should stay here. To see if the police has anything to say, and also to see how these people are faring.”[/color] Aurelia said, as all four of them nodded in agreement.

[color=fe9a2e]”If you guys want to, you can go h-”[/color] The Sky Defender suddenly noticed someone approaching her. A person whom she knew very well back in those days she was in Komei. Everybody knew her. The former supervillain who now serves for the cause of justice. Well, at least for her cause but it aligns with justice well. Reactions were positive, as they all respected the former teacher, though one of the Knights may still be poking at her stigma. But nevertheless, she was a welcomed and expected guest.

[color=6ecff6]”No problem Miss. It’s a duty that had to be done.”[/color] 

Following her was the sturdy man from before. 

[color=fe9a2e]”Thank you, sir, though I think you should leave that to someone else. Another group of hero that was also there. One of whom saved his life when he was critical, and now he is still under treatment I think. You can ask directly if you’re more concerned.”[/color] Aurelia replied with a smile. In fact, she may just go and ask right now if nothing was up. He did, after all, saved her life.

[color=fff257]”I’m fine for the day miss. They should be fine too, physically at least. But mentally...well, I don’t know.”[/color] Acion said as he made his appearance known to Mako.

[color=ed1c24]”They may need further observation miss, as they just been victimized.”[/color]
