"Wow just amazing, The figure I'll have to say she sure is sure a beauty. Professor, if I knew this is what you were working on, I would have already decided to make this decision." The man said formally.

"Oh really!? Jun'ichi chuckle while scratching his head. "That would be unnecessary though I appreciate you're collective thoughts, but umm what was it you decided?" Jun'ichi said completely dumbfounded.

"What the hell Jun'ichi-Sensei!? You can't just suddenly decline something before even being informed." Tedashii spoke up.

"The boy is right you know." The man tucked in his bowtie, and smile. "It would be ashamed if your investment in this experiment is limited because of a financial estimate of poor budget." Kaneshiro pointed out. If you pursuit in your works under the name of Chrysanthemum Industries you can expect growth rapidly and even rewarding funding. You can make a lot of money outta this."

"Money?" Jun'ichi repeat Kaneshiro's offer lowering his head and clenches his fist.

"Lots and lots of it we could sell one these, if it works out, to every research faculty, scientists could explore the effects of your product." Kaneshiro continues on until Jun'ichi shook his head frantically.

"I'm sorry I still have to decline," Jun'ichi said with a serious tone, "This experiment is for the children of this city nothing more nothing less."

"Hmm." Kaneshiro shook his head and said, "I understand well I hope you won't regret your decision."

"Hey Mr. Kaneshiro sir!" Tedashii jumps in bowing his head, "Please can we have your business card please!" Tedashii said bowing his head.

"Tedashii!" Li Mei shouts at Tedashii.

"Huh?" Kaneshiro pause and then smile laughing, "Hahaha sure kid! Though you should at least let a fellow man decide for himself. But for this once," Kaneshiro dig in his pocket as his business card appeared under Tedashii's face. "And please rise up and look a fellow man in the eyes, it shows that we're equal men."

Tedashii rise up embarrassment quickly scratched his head, "Oh my bad," Tedashii reach his hand out for a hand shake and the two shook hands.

"Always remember that." Kaneshiro respectfully said with a smile.

"Sure!" Tedashii tense you quickly replying Jun'ichi sigh, looking away.

"Oh I know you as well," Kaneshiro comments staring at Li Mei.

"Oh... yeah... yeah it's me." Li Mei responding looking down with a red face. Tedashii surprising realized Li Mei was trying not to be noticed for once.

"Keep improving your abilities and maybe you'll get another chance to prove yourself, don't mess up again." Kaneshiro said peering Li Mei. "Well I'll be seeing you lots. The real show it's just about to began." Kaneshiro waves as he walks away from the three.

"Prove yourself?" Tedashii ask stating at the frown Li Mei.

"Well you two better go on ahead I don't want you two to miss out on the other collective works." Jun'ichi added waving.

"Are you sure?" Tedashii question. "don't you need help cleaning all this up?"

"No that would be unnecessary, and besides a man shouldn't put kids to labor. So go." Jun'ichi said pushing on. Tedashii and Li Mei head off walking into a circle.

"So much for hiding away," Tedashii complained.

"So this is were you've been?" Jeong-Min walked alongside Mara.

"Onee-Chan!!" Li Mei cheerfully said jumping into her arms. Jeong-Min welcome her embracing her with a smile.

"Hey! Li Mei-Chan!" Mara said waving at her and Hamasaki-Kun hiii," Mara winks at Tedashii causing him to blush.

"I missed you Onee-Chan!" Li Mei said looking up.

"But what I say over the phone?" Jeong-Min mention as Le Mei stood still with a closed eyes smile. "To stay in one place until I arrive also not cause any trouble!"

"Uhh, yeah about that?" Li Mei said, scratching her cheek.

"Come on! We can save the lecture for later!" Mara said saving Li Mei, "Lets do something before this ends."

"I got an idea!" Annaisha said telepathically to Tedashii, Li Mei, and Mara "Let's go to the Gekota stall, I need to know the release date of Lovely Mitten Gekota model mobile phones release date!"

"Isn't their a camera booth near by?" Jeong-Min ask.

"Yeah there's one that after you take the picture that can turned into a hologram. It's really neat!"

"Wow! Really!? But how much damage to the earth they had to do to make that!?" Li Mei said annoyed.

"Well there made with the scripts recording of an interference pattern which uses diffraction to reproduce a 3D light field." Tedashii explains. "Though there was a necessary fibers that make the paper stronger. Cellulose is extracted and forge with the scripts."

"Such an impressive description Hamasaki-kun." Mara comments.

"Well that's because I made them." Tedashii shocking the group.

"Really!?" Mara said shook.

"I was about to failed a project so I made a last minute invention so I could safe myself, however those bastard adults were too impressed, they gave me my grade and not my project. They said it was to show the future class, but someday I start seeing multiple copies and all kinds of stores. Tch, Bastards!"

"Yeah like imma believe a chinpoko like you made that." Jeong-Min stated.

"I believe him," Li Mei said with a smile.

"Huh?" Tedashii blushed looking away. "Tch whatever like I care what you guys think!"

"Aww how cute," Mara comments with a giggle, "Hamasaki-Kun is a tsundere!"

"I am not!" Tedashii shouts.

"What does that mean?" Li Mei said puzzled.

"Excuse me?" The group turned around to the voice of a newcomer. An attractive boy with unruly neck length reddish brown hair that's length was low enough to cover his eyes and reddish-brown eyes approach them, he had a clam delightful tone, and a charming smile. "I'm sorry I just noticed you all are participating in the daihaseisai festival as well and are students of my age."

"Yeah! Is there anything we can do for you we wouldn't mind at all!?" Mara ask with a blushing face.

"I mind!" Tedashii comments at the back which was ignored.

"Well I'm sort of lost, and just happened to be passing by, so it seemed polite to greet you. We'll be filming here after all." The pleasant boy said bowing his head down. "Ah, where are my manners? My name is Akira Takahashi."

"Akira?" Jeong-Min notes, studying his face, "I think I heard that from somewhere."

"Wait!? Filming? What you're a celebrity are something?" Mara ask tilting her head.

"Umm somewhat but it's really not a big deal or anything." Akira said embarrassingly blushing.

"Well that sounds cool!" Li Mei said placing her hands on her waist.

Akira looks at his watch and saids, "Oh! It's almost time and I see it from here. My apologies, I truly was just passing by to ask for directions, but I must be going. The show it's just about to start, and it most certainly would embarrassing to be rude showing up late. So you all like Gekota too huh? The lovely mitten gekota will be release on the last of September."

"What?" Jeong-Min said puzzled

"Huh? Gekota What are you talking about?" Tedashii ask studying the pleasant boy's face.

"The mobile phones." Akira said puzzle. "My apologies, I thought someone said something about Gekota? Well no matter, just forget I said anything I'll be seeing you all."

Akahana and Misaka continues to walk around the stalls. Akahana turn around peering Misaka annoyed by her presence. Misaka eyes cartoonishly turn to cartoon eyes when she noticed the Gekota stall. She quickly slapped herself reminding herself of the task at hand. She peer down and finally noticed Akahana's dull irritated stare.

"I'm sorry!" Misaka quickly noted, I just wanted to help you out with something. Misaka awkward comments. A clique of girls passed by with a certain ringlet curl girl shouting out Misaka's name. Misaka's duck hiding from right under Akahana. She quickly sigh, and then to a peek up only to internally hear cow noise in her head, after noticing Akahana's bust size. "Are you kidding me!!? She's like the size of a fifth grader! That's just not fair!"

"... You said something?" Akahana said tilting her head down at Misaka with a dull stare.

"It's nothing!" Misaka said annoyed.

"There you are Misaka!" Ringlet curl girl said sneaking up behind Misaka. Misaka flinch grabbing onto Akahana.

Akahana shoves Misaka and said, "Only Tedashii can do that!"

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that she just startled me and... wait what?" Misaka said as her face blush red. The clique of girls gather up and took Misaka with them.

"Well it's all most time." Jeong-Min comment next to Li Mei. "Though why are you hanging out with that chinpoko anyways." Jeong-Min said crossing her arms.

"Well I barely seen you at all since the daihaseisai festival started!" Li Mei stated studying Jeong-Min.

"I was busy with my club," Jeong-Min answer, but with Li Mei's esper ability she could tell she was lying.

"Just tell her the truth!" Tedashii said, closing his eyes.

"And if I had a secret I certainly wouldn't tell a chinpoko like you!"

"You know that's really rude as hell even for you." Tedashii comments annoyed, while scratching his head.

"What does that mean?" Li Mei ask.

"You don't wanna know." Tedashii reply.

"Come on guys!" Mara said announcing, "we're all here together! Let's not fight okay."

"Whatever, lets go then Li Mei! By the way," Jeong-Min added, following up with a fake smile, "Since I'm here now there's need for you to accompany Li Mei any longer."

"Yeah I suppose you're correct however the halftime show is almost over it really doesn't matter." Tedashii answer scratching his head. "And besides everyone is gathering over to the live daihaseisai talk show so even if we separated we would only just bump into each other anyways."

"So what?!" Jeong-Min respondent with an attitude.

"Jeong-Min-Chan! Tedashii-Kun has an point." Mara jumps in nodding to Tedashii's side. "There's no sense in avoiding something that is impossible, Tedashii is not so bad of an guy, and Jeong-Min you're too quick to judge, let's just squash the beef, where friends with the same people after all!"

"What!?" Tedashii and Jeong-Min said at the same time puzzled.

"Squash the beef? No ones cooking you know?" Tedashii quest, squinting his eyes at Mara.

"It's America talk!" Li Mei confirms for Mara, "From that place what's it called? New Pork?" Li Mei announces boldly.

"That's not what it's called!" Mara shouts. "Anyways there's actually something I wanted to talk to you about, well actually ask of you." Mara said reverting back to a normal tone.

"Uhh sure." Tedashii said scratching his head.

The group gather together with the rest of the audience, centering to a talk host show, for the daihaseisai festival.

"3...2....1, We're here at last it's time and we're live!" The anchor announce. "Your Anchor Takibi Hoshi!"

"And Megumi Takahana!" The lady anchor introduced herself afterwards.

"Where back from commercials everyone!" Hoshi states. "Where here to continue on showcasing the great aspects of Academy City and there amazing students from what we showcase so far. Amazing that 80 percent of the residents are students with particular powers known as esper abilities. And whenever there are students who act against the law as delinquents our beloved city is aid by train professionals who volunteer to stop unjust acts Anti-skill who are adults, but we also have esper kids who also want to secure safety, hazards dangers, and foul act who actually uses there abilities to do just that Judgement. And then there's trouble uncovering crimes and culprits. But there's a family line of detectives that go out their way to solve even the most difficult and challenging crimes there known as the one and only famous family. The Takahashi family!"

Everyone begins to clap strongly and cheer roar of excitement.

"We have one with us today I have to confirm," the anchor announce with more cheers, and claps booming with enthusiasm.

"Man seriously I hate who ever comes through already!" A fire designed bandanna boy comments from afar as he just enter late into the building.

"I would like to introduce you all to the Nagatenjouki Academy honor roll student, Akira Takahashi!!" The anchor announce as cheers roar out as a attractive boy with unruly neck length reddish brown hair and reddish-brown eyes. As he walk over to take a seat it seemly look as he was glittery sparkling but that was of course and over exaggerating appeal that the audience boast. The girl's faces turned red, and the guys wanted to be him. He was their Prince Charming.

"Aahhh!!" It's Akira-Kun!" A girl cried out excitedly hopping up and down.

"Oh my god he's soooo cool!!" Another girl said as hearts blossom from her eyes.

"And now on to the meeting and greeting of our show!" The female anchor announce. "After his last appearance was so well received, we decided to bring this fine gentleman for this year's daihaseisai festival's halftime show, once again we would like to give our welcomes to the high school detective Akira Takahashi!"

"Hello there." The young popular high school student said waving at the audience.

"Thank for taking the time to join us today Akira-kun. Your popularity is stunning as always." The male anchor said.

"I'm actually surprised myself despite my family's reputation I still wasn't expecting must knowledge most of my works after all is done in private." Akira said with a warm smile.

"Moving along!" The female anchor said, "we've been told you were jump on forward a new case, come to share with us all detective?"

"Ah yes, the disappearance involving the missing students." Akira note, "We indeed have permission from both their parents to announce the names Eiichi Itō and Fumihiro Yamamoto reportedly missing from a kidnapping."

"Oh dear that's terrible." The female anchor sadly said getting the cameraman to do a close up on Akira.

"Yes indeed it is, it's terrible that families have to worry on a day such as the daihaseisai festival, but things happen, crimes enters the territory of all places even Academy City. Hiding it behind the bushes is an coward's act. It is why the more others are aware increases the possibility of reports being sent to judgement and Anti skill."

"You are indeed correct Akira-Kun, and let's not forget that the ratio of crimes solve by the Takahashi family is absolute." The anchor confirms as everyone begins to applauded. "Are there any leads?"

"Actually there is." Akira said with a smirk. "I have been doing this investigation along without my family and I'm actually quite impressed how far I gotten along. I believe the culprit is actually multiple members, perhaps an group. The culprits seemly targeting multiple espers because they lack the fundamentals necessary for their own objectives, even with what there capable of. So I'm suspecting there either scientists or level "0s"."

Mara's eyes widened and the bandanna guy's shook from afar.

"Just who the hell is this guy!? That bastard should mind his own damn business." The bandanna boy said clenching his fist.

"You also mentioned capabilities?" The female anchor ask, "If you think the culprit are non espers then what could they possibly be using and or you really certain the culprit really is?

"It's because there's another force that plays an role in this. Academy City is the city science, even someone unfortunately resulted as in being a level 0, with the resources they could just about anything, after studying the damages left of the kidnapping I detected precise cuts, perfected damages, no human being can construct such results, and not consistently even though espers have abilities even a level 5 can create such results. I mean are gonna ask if it was magic? Yeah I thought so." Akira said sarcastically. "Magic isn't real but science is, the culprit is using advanced tech."

Tedashii smirk from the crowd as he continued to watch this confident detective put the pieces together.

"But there's one more thing I have add." The detective lower his head the crowd couldn't see his eyes he became completely unpredictable. "I've been doing some investigation, the culprits needed an act, to seem strong so close the route of becoming their ideal self."

"What are you getting out Akira-Kun?" The male anchor ask.

"I think there was another force behind this an injustice act being inspired by another. But it's just a hutch."

"Hmm?"

"Hoshi-Sama, do you know what they call those heroes who take on their own justice to find their ideal self? A vigilante, but I'm here to say those who take on injustice acts are cowards. Afraid to show their face to the world among the light. The group is nothing more than cowards. Even the ones who are rumor to exist, the ones from the urban legends of Academy City, A copycat esper and an Digital Hero if their supposed to be ideal heroes than our society is doom one whose afraid to show themselves to light or the ones they desire to protect are nothing more than shady untrustworthy characters."

Tedashii's eyes widened shook it was almost as if the boy stare at him. Tedashii clench his fist he felt personally attack. A glimpse thought of Akahana flash between his eyes.

"Now where gonna have a student around the same age group as Akira-Kun." The anchor female said approaching Tedashii. "What do you think an hero should be?"

"An hero?" Tedashii repeats ask his hair cover his eyes, he clench his fist, "A hero doesn't care where there are, the light or the shadows. If they can hold their wishes, if they can maintain that smile, they can fall to abyss and died if that promises remains."

"Hmm? Is that so?" Akira notes studying Tedashii's face.
The two glare at each other as a new rivalry was born.

"Oh!? That's the opposite of what you believe Akira-Kin?" The male anchor said.

"I'm aware, and this quite interesting, Well I have one more question for you then. What would happen if that person whose smile that hero was supposed to protect discovered the nature of that supposed hero, and no longer wants that hero involved in their life ever again? Betrayal at its finest."

Tedashii pause for second he lower his head once more than look up at Akira straight in the eyes, "Then hero will continue his justice amongst the shadows."

"Hmph, well there's also one more question we all should be curious about, is the why?" Vigilante is a hero to their own story there methods are their own fundamental actions. They can target innocents like the once's before us, or they could actually act in good as these urban legends rumor. They could stop crimes by killing, their limitations are questionable and their objectives or questionable. Because we don't know we could suspect all this is being perpetrated."

"Hmm? You're absolutely correct!" Akira-Kun!" The anchor appalled.

"I do apologize I didn't mean to go so deeply are offended anyone, I'm just concerning the audience to be aware of any possible threats among the horizon just as any city. The criminal crime rate is low, but just to be secure please notify any suspicious acts to judgement and anti-skill and they will directly report it to me. The secure is strengthened to prevent anymore suspicious activities."

"And that will be all for this interview," The anchor said. The show closed down and the crowd separated after Akira left to search for the detective.

"Man this is crazy! Owwww! I can't just sit here!" Li Mei shouts angrily. I'm with judgement also just everyone else taking action makes me wanna do something."

"Then how about investing yourself than." Mara said walking up behind Li Mei.

"I dunno." Li Mei sigh, "Do you think I can fine led somehow?"

"Hmm? Well how about tomorrow we can try finding out where these trouble makers are!"

"I dunno that sounds dangers to bring you, I don't want you to get hurt."

"It's fine! It's fine I swear! And I can say because that handsome detective said they are non espers.

"But he could be wrong." Li Mei said.

"He sounds pretty smart and besides your really strong! There's actually some information that a warehouse got damage recently! They say the vigilante was there!"

"Really!!" Li Mei said excitedly hoping up and down.

"Yeah really." Mara said with a fake smile.

"I'm sorry Li Mei! But you're our target. My Justice won't be ignored..."
