[i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop[/u][/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/sbuQd0U.png[/img] Tiane: Wand...as a Glaive... [img]https://i.imgur.com/XM39ZFU.png[/img] Rayla: Sounds odd to you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Q7OU21i.png[/img] Tiane: I want to say that Compact Glaives have a standartized format, but that wouldn't make much difference since that object is still suspicious either way. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7sDYE3J.png[/img] Kaori: Agreed. It still as dangerous if she ever gets to use it. Kaori pulls out her glaive device once more to compare it to Tiane's own. While they did have a different color and markings in order to differentiate the types, they were still the same size, fitting in their hands almost like a pocket watch. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jppfUO8.png[/img] Theo: (A small object that equips someone with an armor...I wouldn't be surprised if those guys took inspiration from the Kresnik Family...Good thing normal people can't harness magic, or else they would probably target Ancestor Mages as well...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/cHh72iD.png[/img] Rayla: That guy is probably willing to talk since he asked that Lucent was allowed to bring one person with him...Guess he won't mind if we bring more...I mean, we are going to know the contents of that conversation anyway. [img]https://i.imgur.com/dIcKJEZ.png[/img] Nanase: Do I need to be around for this? [img]https://i.imgur.com/j5p0HB6.png[/img] Rayla: Eh? Oh...Of course not. You're just a normal girl right? You don't need to involve yourself with our problems. [img]https://i.imgur.com/fdiOKqc.png[/img] Nanase: Yeah...That was a silly question... (Besides, I have something else to do today...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/QaDbGZO.png[/img] Andorina: ??? [img]https://i.imgur.com/CGlqCaR.png[/img] Reeta: Then, we'll leave the guys who can fight to deal with this shady man. We powerless people will go ahead on visiting Lucent. Make sure to get everything from that guy. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rAP36g8.png[/img] Rayla: That we'll do. [i][u]Unknown Base - Corridors[/u][/i] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og-EIWN2QTo]Fuse[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/OnqGYnw.png[/img] Kenneth: Scents from every direction...Guess this is as far as we'll run. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QezYvb8.png[/img] Saika: Tch...Guess We'll have no other choice. [img]https://i.imgur.com/u62eqGd.png[/img] Hinata: There's still up. HAAAAA!!! With a soaring flaming uppercut, Hinata went right through the ceiling, reaching the upper floor. Saika and Kenneth followed her suit. [img]https://i.imgur.com/P5ISF4B.png[/img] Hinata: Now then Kenneth, where next? [img]https://i.imgur.com/jKZFBka.png[/img] Kenneth: Nowhere...some of them followed us. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7HQSnto.png[/img] Hinata: What? They saw three Flying Type-Glaive Soldiers coming out of the hole. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Soldier: Engaging Targets... [img]https://i.imgur.com/DJnS6rb.png[/img] Saika: AWAY!!! With a slash motion of her sword, Saika created a powerful blast of wind that pushed away the three soldiers at the same time. They struggled to keep their balance on the air and collided against a wall. [img]https://i.imgur.com/uizlDqj.png[/img] Saika: I'll take care of them. You two go find the exit and give me a call when you find it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vFP7w7b.png[/img] Hinata: Understood. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vzhhvIf.png[/img] Kenneth: I suggest we keep heading up. Hinata and Kenneth went ahead. Saika slowly walked towards her opponents, who were taking aim at her. [img]https://i.imgur.com/mZdC3Oz.png[/img] Saika: A word of advice...staying on the air isn't going to do much against me. In fact, engaging an Ancestor Mage will be your last mistake. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Lsion71.jpg[/img] Soldier: Next objective is to keep the target busy until reinforcements arrive. [img]https://i.imgur.com/83VD2Iv.png[/img] Saika: (Absolutely no hint of emotion...Is this also because of brainwashing?) Meanwhile, Hinata communicator was ringing. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rKFHu1s.png[/img] Hinata: It's Tatsuna. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NE45IGo.png[/img] Tatsuna: Alright Hinata, all's done. Barry has been alerted to that place and our superiors is trying to locate your signal. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vCehhV5.png[/img] Hinata: Will it take long? [img]https://i.imgur.com/5lK4x4C.png[/img] Tatsuna: Depends on how much interference there is. But since we're able to speak normally like, not much. [img]https://i.imgur.com/2MiQvvc.png[/img] Hinata: (Guess they didn't take into account the fact that someone they might captured could have a communicator...No wait...that would be too sloppy. I'm sure they were aware of the risks of having their teleporter discovered...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/EpzWLeZ.png[/img] Tatsuna: And depending on where you might be, I might be part of the rescue team. [img]https://i.imgur.com/1HhzLxW.png[/img] Hinata: So...Guess the rookie is finally going to get some field experience. [img]https://i.imgur.com/PcdJgvs.png[/img] Tatsuna: It's time to finally unleash the dragon! Well, I do confess that I'm a bit nervous. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MlWMjSY.png[/img] Hinata: Get used to it. You knew what you were getting into when you joined the intelligence office. [img]https://i.imgur.com/q3BzUoc.png[/img] Tatsuna: That I did...Oh right, the operators are asking if you see the outside from there? [img]https://i.imgur.com/vCehhV5.png[/img] Hinata: No windows, which makes me think we're at the underground floors of some building right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/gB2VCvu.png[/img] Tatsuna: Shucks...Okay then, over and out. [img]https://i.imgur.com/735gLle.png[/img] Hinata: Goodbye for now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vzhhvIf.png[/img] Kenneth: Just in time, I was about to say there's more scents surrounding us. [img]https://i.imgur.com/u62eqGd.png[/img] Hinata: Then, time to do the same as before. She does another flaming uppercut that makes her go through the ceiling, reaching the upper floor. [hider=Reunion after the tragedy] Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXLcKZknF0g]Unrest[/url] Moments later, the police was there to investigate the crime scene. All the groups sans most of Team B were reunited at the Student Council Room. Jane was there was well, being told that Tsuya has been found. Zeelena and the girl who was keeping Tsuya inside the empty classroom were also there for questioning. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7acv6xg.png[/img] Hiagor: (So many things happening at once...Guess our hunch was right after all...horribly right. I can only hope the rest of Team B is okay.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/UG3f7CZ.png[/img] Kenzuki: Now then...Time to begin your questioning Mr. Abata. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UnCVBPv.png[/img] Tsuya: I've already told you everything... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jzvr4zJ.png[/img] Kenzuki: Do it again from the beginning. Don't miss any detail. [img]https://i.imgur.com/E8vTZvl.png[/img] Jane: M-Maybe you should take it easy with him... [img]https://i.imgur.com/jL3MK6L.png[/img] Kenzuki: Only when I'm sure he's not the culprit, then I'll apologize. You have my word for that. In the meanwhile, be quiet, if we don't take this seriously, we might never catch the one behind this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UygYQrG.png[/img] Jane: (How can I with you treating him like that?) [img]https://i.imgur.com/ItpO033.png[/img] Andressa: (Lady Samurai really likes doing this...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/geo9q2I.png[/img] Kenzuki: Now then...Tell me what were you doing in that room. And again, don't miss any details or it might be bad for your case. [img]https://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj527/TheFael/Characters%20Faces/Drake%203.fw_zpsvr0ntj5e.png[/img] Drake: (Yep...She's really fit to be in the police force alright...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/OovLvLc.png[/img] Tsuya: ...Fine...Like I said, when I arrived at that classroom, he was already... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Vyicl9b.png[/img] Kenzuki: What were you doing there? What motivated a 1st year student who so far had a strict routine to break it? There's been people who reported to us that they saw you heading toward the 3rd Year floor instead of going to practice chess like you usually do in the Sports Building. You can't keep avoiding the issue here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/e6iEyEa.png[/img] Tsuya: F-Fine...but not in front of Jane. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pvGIn7H.png[/img] Barry: Sorry, but no can do. Your friend has been worried sick about you. She has all the right to know what is happening right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jRoYUpN.png[/img] Tsuya: B-But if I say something...she might think... [img]https://i.imgur.com/gz9lLO2.png[/img] Jane: That's wrong! You're not a killer Tsuya. There's no way I can believe that, no matter what you say. [img]https://i.imgur.com/neBX086.png[/img] Tsuya: Y-You don't get it... [img]https://i.imgur.com/E8vTZvl.png[/img] Jane: This is about yesterday right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/KiR1yum.png[/img] Tsuya: !!! Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nmmMkzNhZ0]Walhall[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/EEJn9kQ.png[/img] Jane: I don't get the reaction. You should be aware that I know you long enough to guess what you're thinking. You looked so distressed by yesterday's events...It wasn't hard connecting these dots...But I know for sure that you're not the killer. [img]https://i.imgur.com/neBX086.png[/img] Tsuya: Katy... [img]https://i.imgur.com/qdyOIZJ.png[/img] Mina: You have such a great friend Abata. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KHsC2eF.png[/img] Tsuya: ...Yeah... (But...I don't think I deserve her...) [img]https://i.imgur.com/geo9q2I.png[/img] Kenzuki: Now that you don't need to be afraid, Are you willing to talk now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/UnCVBPv.png[/img] Tsuya: ...Yes. I'll tell you everything. And if you don't want me to miss any detail, then I'll begin with the event that might've started all of this. Music: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APHZ40pl5sc]Mirage[/url] [i]"Yesterday...When I was leaving basketball practice, Jane was waiting for me by the door...Then, the bullies showed up and started picking on me. Katy tried to stood up for me, but that only made them angrier...and suddenly, one of them forcefully kissed her. That was the last straw for me. I've had my first actual bout of anger. I tackled the guy in order to save Katy, then we both ran away as fast as we could. This event made me realize...that anyone close to me would be a victim of all these bullies as well. So I decided to distance myself from Katy for a while...until I've settled everything up. This meant that...I had to confront those guys head on, I had to stand up for myself or else this torture would never stop. And I would start with the leader of one of these groups. His name is Vincent Carl...the student that was killed today. I've actually talked to him yesterday to meet me alone at the empty classroom...When I got there, I saw that he was already dead, and the girl who was passing by saw it and assumed I did it."[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/geo9q2I.png[/img] Kenzuki: What were you planning to do once you've met him? [img]https://i.imgur.com/80NWUsh.png[/img] Tsuya: Sincerely...I wasn't so sure. Once I've reached the door...I've hesitated for a bit...then apologized mentally to Jane before entering...But I'm almost sure I would get into a fight with him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/O9bHPlH.png[/img] Girl: Heh! You certainly has the motive for the crime. [img]https://i.imgur.com/e6iEyEa.png[/img] Tsuya: I've already told you that it wasn't me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Wnhwm9j.png[/img] Girl: We'll see about that once we check the camera footage. [img]https://i.imgur.com/MNRTdr9.png[/img] Renath: About that...it's impossible. There's been a maintenance for the whole morning, and the cameras had to be off during that time. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tEvY5K4.png[/img] Girl: EXCUSE ME? I can't believe this... [img]https://i.imgur.com/nqdrfMm.png[/img] Hiagor: Which means that right now...we can't prove Tsuya's innocence...and his story does make for a solid motive for murder... [img]https://i.imgur.com/neBX086.png[/img] Tsuya: ...Of course... [img]https://i.imgur.com/gz9lLO2.png[/img] Jane: I still believe he didn't do it. Sure, he was going to do something wrong, but I know for sure that he wouldn't go that far. Tsuya is a kind person, I know it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tZsBZFC.png[/img] Girl: Too bad that alone won't be enough. [img]https://i.imgur.com/geo9q2I.png[/img] Kenzuki: She's right. Regardless if you believe him or not, evidence is everything. [img]https://i.imgur.com/kUDlg7m.png[/img] Jane: Then we just have to find it right? That will be our job right now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/qOplevR.png[/img] Hiagor: (This sure takes me back to when I was a police officer. I haven't investigated a murder ever since I left the force.) [img]https://i.imgur.com/kXWToDV.png[/img] Barry: While I do admit that all of this makes sense, we have yet to hear more details from this girl. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VpkajOp.png[/img] Girl: What? But I saw him in that room with the victim. It's not hard to guess... [img]https://i.imgur.com/mOBgfpn.png[/img] Barry: So you saw him after the murder ocurred right? [img]https://i.imgur.com/W7kWKYp.png[/img] Girl: Y-Yeah... [img]https://i.imgur.com/pvGIn7H.png[/img] Barry: Then as a witness, you're not that decisive if you don't have anything to prove how he did the crime. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tEvY5K4.png[/img] Girl: Argh... [img]https://i.imgur.com/5jFRvmO.png[/img] Nadia: Ah! That's right, I just remembered that Vincent Carl wasn't supposed to come to school today. [img]https://i.imgur.com/OSGMVZV.png[/img] Tsuya: He wasn't? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jzvr4zJ.png[/img] Kenzuki: Oh right, we gave him detention once we've heard about the event from yesterday. And the teachers knew about it as well so they would know if he was in classroom and would've sent him back home the moment they noticed him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ikCPFeW.png[/img] Hiagor: Intriging. [img]https://i.imgur.com/AMSAVQh.png[/img] Jane: Found something out detective? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rnxvG1h.png[/img] Hiagor: I just pieced some things together, and the result is quite interesting: A student that wasn't supposed to come to school today got a message telling him about the cameras being off for the morning. He took it as an opportunity to stay hidden at the empty classrooms in the 3rd floor in order to meet up with Tsuya...only to be found dead. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sxyrlcU.png[/img] Jane: Yeah...That does sound...Ah! Wait, this means that there's a huge window of opportunity for the murder to happen. And since Zeelena saw Tsuya heading towards the 3rd floor a little before lunch... [img]https://i.imgur.com/EEJn9kQ.png[/img] Jane: Then the autopsy report might be the decisive evidence to prove his innocence. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ulre3gW.png[/img] Hiagor: Took the words right out of my mouth. [img]https://i.imgur.com/cCGpJIB.png[/img] Jane: So, what do you think? [img]https://i.imgur.com/O9bHPlH.png[/img] Girl: Well...I'll admit that you have a point. Where's this report? [img]https://i.imgur.com/kXWToDV.png[/img] Barry: Detective Johnson will arrive shortly with it. He's actually listening to this very conversation right now through a communicator. [img]https://i.imgur.com/eyaRRlL.png[/img] Nadia: In the meantime, may you tell us your name? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Wnhwm9j.png[/img] Elora Cammar: ...I'm Elora...3rd year. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EEJn9kQ.png[/img] Jane: Nice to meet you Elora. I'm Jane Katherine. Jane Katy for short. I'm a 1st year like my friend Tsuya. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tZsBZFC.png[/img] Elora: You two must be really close huh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DtDuaHm.png[/img] Jane: That we are. [img]https://i.imgur.com/fBMmo6a.png[/img] Elora: Then here's an advice from your senior...You shouldn't be so trusting of people...you might get hurt when they do something horrible to you. [img]https://i.imgur.com/E8vTZvl.png[/img] Jane: Hm? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Y0iKEdd.png[/img] Andressa: Then here's your advice from your other senior: Don't give up from the things you believe in, ya hear me? [img]https://i.imgur.com/kUDlg7m.png[/img] Jane: Loud and Clear! It was time to wait, the group started talking between themselves, discussing the events that transpired. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Z7dSx30.png[/img] Daniella: Seems like Mr. Abata might not be the culprit after all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NCDXXQv.png[/img] Hyde: You still heard everything even when reading that book? [img]https://i.imgur.com/pEjQi9K.png[/img] Nicholas: Her concentration is insane...and she's not even a psychic. [img]https://i.imgur.com/5S04OjE.png[/img] Hyde: Really? That's amazing. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WvDaLal.png[/img] Daniella: It isn't a natural talent. It's more like a habit I had to develop if I wanted to pay attention to my surroundings while still reading. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zKtQUhx.png[/img] Italo: You really do love your books huh? [img]https://i.imgur.com/7Sz5tTS.png[/img] Daniella: You can say that. Now then, do you think that maybe the mysterious organization is responsable for this? [img]https://i.imgur.com/sbkiinC.png[/img] Mina: We don't really have evidence to back that up...but if we had a motive...I would say it's witness elimination, that's their usual way of operating. [img]https://i.imgur.com/S5GB2PW.png[/img] Nicholas: Makes sense... [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZVB91Wn.png[/img] Hyde: Is that so? [img]https://i.imgur.com/5oEpqFo.png[/img] Mina: Oh right, you're out on the loop of that one. Think about the Yusagi Getsuki case. [img]https://i.imgur.com/akR93rv.png[/img] Hyde: Eh? Oh...You mean what happened with her was something like that? [img]https://i.imgur.com/DpGYGVp.png[/img] Mina: Yes. She ended up finding a Compact Glaive Device from someone who was running from the Mysterious Organization. They tracked the signal of that glaive to her house and...you can imagine what happened next. [img]https://i.imgur.com/KF17kR2.png[/img] Hyde: ...Owch... [img]https://i.imgur.com/hBsahqz.png[/img] Zeelena: So that's what happened. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ouVnlY8.png[/img] Mina: But yeah...We don't have anything to link them to this case, so let's question the culprit when the time comes. [img]https://i.imgur.com/2p4YxKi.png[/img] Italo: Witness elimination...Did Vincent somehow find out that his killer was with the mysterious organization and he got killed for it? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ys20G7f.png[/img] Italo: We've been all suspecting that Tsuya might be a Psychic User because of his excellent talents...so it's hard to think he might be with that organization. He wasn't even aware that Vincent was hit with detention. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rmlo9at.png[/img] Italo: Urgh...a lot of "ifs" but nothing to confirm them... [/hider]
