Chapter 26 - A Certain Nonstander Level

"Eh... damn, I feel effing numb." Kenichi opened his eyes to the piercing wavy yellow and blue sky. "Is that the sky? Oh yeah, I'm effing flat of my ass. I got my ass kicked... wait what's up with the air?!" Kenichi lift himself up despite not feeling a thing, he notice yellow flashing waves in the sky that reminded him of his intense battle with Aura Storm. "That can't be good. Wait it looks different this time." Kenichi turned to see Yosuke still unconscious. Walking over and pushing him with all his remaining strength to get Yosuke near a corner of shade. "Damn you're heavy as hell."

"Eh... Kenichi?" Yosuke said shaking his head. He open his eyes to see Kenichi smiling. Still dizzy his vision was blurry, he tried his hardest to gain his conscious, but didn't have the strength.

"You been through an effing lot pal you sleep tight I'll take it from here." Kenichi said proudly. "I wanted to protect you both but I don't have the right to, I failed you as a leader. I guess I just wasn't effing meant to be... god damn it. This effing piss me off... Screw that! ... I guessed that's what that adult meant by all this bullshit. I can't be an responsible adult when looking out for the ones I care for, while putting others in danger that others care for without owning up to that!" Kenichi saids to himself. "I gotta save those that I hurt. And then!"

"Kenichi Baki, getting arrested is not going to make up for your sins." Yosuke said making a faint smile.

"God damn it, why can't I take the easy way out like that idiot solider?" Kenichi said sighing, "Tch!" Kenichi charges running towards Masato's Lab.

Kicking the door down he noticed the chambers were empty. "That guy must have save them already."

"HELP!! Is someone there?! Get back here freaking douchebag!!"

"Upstairs!" Kenichi saids running towards the stairs. Making his way upstairs he noticed the same esper delinquents that's similar to his level 0 delinquent self.

"Wait a minute it's you! Grr! Damn you when I get outta here you're gonna pay!" The delinquent shouts. Grabbing a strong grip on the bars.

"Wait a minute did he just pick and choose who he wanted to save?! What an asshole... not that I can judge." Kenichi release the cages of all the delinquents. "If you're gonna kill me just go ahead and do it. It's the least I can do."

The delinquents ruthlessly smile one of them started walking up with waving his hand swiftly throwing Kenichi to a wall with telekinesis. "You sure about that? Because I'm definitely in the mood to kill you!" Suddenly a thunderstorm erupted putting fear to all that stared above its thundering roar. The delinquent dropped Kenichi and made a run for it out the building along with the others.

Kenichi got up and stare at the Storm before getting up, "I have to get back to Yosuke-San, Mara and the Daihaseisai Festival god damn it! Too much to do!" Kenichi complains.


Joker swift his arms, chunking two fireballs, with the third throw following up with a backflip.

Masato swift his hands and with every action reacted his android followed. Shadow Rensa propel herself in the air dodging fire balls from Joker, while evading she touched her feet before landing.

"That again! Something wasn't right about that." Coder Vader comments to Joker.

"What's wrong?" Joker asked puzzled.

The Android pounds onto debris that was made earlier when she came to be and as she jump off the debris clipped off into pillar like attacks. The two swiftly reacted; Joker aerobatics tactical evasion with his eyes still golden, Code Vader preform a backflip then made a proton clear light screen upon repositioning himself to protect himself. After releasing his light screen Joker teleport behind him, covering his back.

Joker realize he couldn't teleport when Code Vader still had his clear veil and was impressed by his unknown ally defenses.

"Li- ... uhh!" Tedashii stopped himself of saying Li Mei's name.

"If you got something important to add, now's the time discuss!" Joker aggressive asked.

"Its crazy I never faced a multi esper before that's all." Code Vader ambivalent comments.

"I see. Hey tell me something. Why are you here? Are you some hero are something?" Joker assertively ask.

"What shouldn't I be asking you that?" Code Vader ask puzzled.

"Every since I was born everyone I know life has change into something that is unstable. In a world that has a answer for everything, I disgracefully exist, something that disturbs the balance of this world, and as long as I exist others can possibly suffer, but they still cry for me. I felt something my soul was burning and I made a decision I will protect the backs of those who defend me in their own way. Even if the devil of science or god, why was I chosen to have these curse eyes. So I'm going to ask this question again. Why are you here? And if your conviction is something I don't like, I'll watch you fucking die." Joker's assertive tone remains while piercing golden eyes hinting to Tedashii a possible of an apathetic annoyance.

Tedashii eyes widened, surprisingly he wasn't pissed off, hell it was understandable.

"I told myself I'll never aid a piece of shit ever again!" The majestic black vigilante stated annoyed.

"Damn, he must have been completed garbage?" Code Vader comments.

"A shit with wings, but still owe me one. So what about you?"

"..." Tedashii remains silent for a second.

"Hamasaki! I feel great glory now that I am a level 4, my family does think so too! Papa and Mama, brought me to Academy City's shopping center to celebrate my level up! And having a party, yes!"

"Anyways thanks for going through the trouble for me, I feel better now. And also thanks for staying here, with me you can leave once we're through here it shouldn't take that long."

"Hey Tedashii I know you don't feel comfortable around me so after the daihaseisai festival, I won't bother you ever again."

"...No way, but that can't be real... But we were supposed to be friends that will become level 5's someday."

"I..." Tedashii began to confess, swiping his arm making another light screen, blocking vibrating iron sand that splashed failing to pierce Hamasaki's defense. Within that timeframe everything felt in slow motion between Tedashii, Zack, and Masato.

Masato surprised to see that being block off, "I don't understand he couldn't block off my attacks before during my weapon's first attack." Masato thought to himself.

"I hate fighting, but this battle includes everyone I know."  Hamasaki Tedashii said staring into Yoshikage Zack's Golden eyes. "I'll fight here and die alone if I have to." Code Vader turned back looking into his hand forming a fist. Time felt back in place but within those seconds change the nature of this fight.

"That's a improper formation if you punch your opponent with that hand of yours you'll surely bruise yourself. Fold the fingers tightly into the center of the palm and then to clamp the thumb over the middle phalanges, don't close the fist, use your thumb to keep it open then that's when." Zack accusatory complains.

"Wut!! I knew that?! I was just holding it like that because I got carried away!" Tedashii embarrassed red checks could cartoonishly glow through his armor suit.

Zack smile as he thought to himself, "He'll be a interesting addition to the hollow knights. He might be the Oracle that I need."

"So!" Joker said stepping side to side with Code Vader. "You seem unconfident in your bawling capabilities but seemed like the type of guy who only steps up when you have to. Well that's not fucking enough. I'll help you out just until you fill in that lack of confidence."

"Wut?" Tedashii and Masato said puzzled.

"What's up with this guy he has a odd tone like Akahana so he's hard to read maybe even harder to read than her?!" Tedashii thought to himself.

"There really going at it." Masato mumbles. "It's like there not taking me seriously.

"Now hold up now you haven't seen much! I can't even get close to that!" Tedashii points at the Android that continue throwing debris telekinetic abilities. "It's not like I can do much blocking all day!"

Joker sighs and saids, "Tech you can't become my new phantom knight if you're not honest."

"What?" Tedashii said dumbfounded but suddenly the ground below them rose up like a pillar that Code Vader and Joker stood on.

"A geomagnetic field ability?" Joker said puzzled.

"Yeah and not any in particular, it's the one from that little girl in the Bread Eating Race." Tedashii confirms.

"What are you saying?"

"There's a weakness in what Masato accomplish, he's only displayed abilities in the Daihaseisai Festival's events not only he waited but it's the perfect time to gather data. That means he can't use any abilities that took place in different occasions prior to the daihaseisai festival."

"... How's that a damn good thing? Literally everyone took part in the Daihaseisai Festival." Joker complained.

"Expect for the seven level 5's in Academy City." Code Vader interprets.

Masato Android began to slash the pillars that spear off the ground cause by it. This broke Code Vader and Joker balance. The two jump back opposite directions from each other but not too far the Android swinging a arm for each one of them. Joker teleports next to Code Vader who blocks with his arm.

"The seven level 5's if she has the ability to use just about anyone of those abilities not only we would be finished but we would have already been defeated now, whether they would kill us or not."

"But it's attacks earlier with Iron Sand that means it can use the third rate level 5's abilities." Joker argued.

"To a certain scale." Code Vader smirk within his armor. "I remember that the seventh rank level 5, was restricted upon using any of his esper abilities, that also mean Mikoto Misaka would have to bow down to the same type of rules. She would be restricted of using any esper abilities that would classify her as a level 5."

"That means this Masato guy can't use the Railgun!" Joker said impressed Code Vader figuring that out."

"Hell yeah!" Code Vader said with a cartoonish big nose, "We're just enough to kick its ass!"

"We won't have to! We have a people that are fighting outside! We just need to last." Joker confirms.

"Jeong!" Tedashii thought to himself. "I mean Jeong-Min that means you got something up yourselves."

"Damn it! There stalling." Masato though to himself, "I need to end this quick!" Masato had his android performing the same trick rising up multiple pillars instead for just one.

Joker look around left and right and couldn't see where the Android was at.

"Damn I regret never gaining a clear understanding of Clairvoyance, but considering the lack of time I have in my life, sacrificing all that time In getting a understanding in teleportation, I have no right to be greedy and complain." Zack thought to himself. The pillar they stood above was slash off but still couldn't see the Android that threatened their lives it was as if it was a shark attack. Zack continue to think to himself while fast falling upside down. "But I might not need to have anything more." Zack look at Code Vader who was fast falling next to him. Suddenly his phone got a message from a mysterious number.

"It's Me Code Vader! I sent this message with my program not only my program can do this it makes armor outta tungsten, materializing what you see before you, it has one more capability I can hack other programs as my hands act as a computer and keyboard, and yeah I touch your phone and hack it. But don't worry I didn't look at any of your private information or messages I understand that's not my business. Anyways I seem to can't get a touch on Masato and I really need too! Masato Jun'ichi is controlling Li Mei with this bio weapon, but if I can hack his control maybe it'll not only it's a free win, but Li Mei can be free from Masato control and we won't have to hurt her."

"He did all that? So quickly that's bad ass!" Zack thought to himself.

"Hey... I get why, but don't do that again." Joker  aggrieved tone left a chill down Tedashii's spine through his amor suit.

"This guy doesn't pull any punches at all." Tedashii complains to himself.

Joker smile and said, "Well, now that new line has of confidence of yours is what I was looking for. Okay I need you to pay close attention! Watch closely." Joker says with a calm tone.

Joker flip his position landing and sliding down on one of rocky pillars, as the android slice the pillars Joker slid on, he pounds onto other rocky pillars.

"There's not a single living being that live the same life, not just from life or death, even before and after, born all at different times, weather the time were supposed, maybe earlier, or maybe a miscarriage, hated even after a full life, perhaps known as disposable, forgotten after death.

"However even if you somehow proceed to make it past that does that mean you're not playing the same game? You live free but poor, you live wealthy but pressure by expectations. Some are born with talent while others have to work hard to acquire skill. We can be happy and failed to reach our dreams, while others obtain it and are depressed. We think, we believe, we move differently and we see things differently. Some words mean something to someone while that same word is empty simple words to others.

"We see the world individually different, and that's what we call a reality one's own reality, breathing, moving, sleeping, even staying still we all have a technical way of living that's differ even if it seems identical. But because some are considered special in their own life whether beloved or hated some feel as their life should be remembered or highlighted, maybe through teaching, or storytelling, and that also includes acting.

"An actor is that of an unusual artist. They not only try to highlight the character that they try to perceive, rather they put on their shoes, live how that characters live. Within the rules of that actor, but since others can imagine that's the way that person lived even if it's inaccurate, Illusion is born. Within these eyes. Just by taking in a glance I watch as one revealed that reality, the way they breath, the sweat that drift off their face and copy literally everything about them even their limitations. Even if I can't progress something new in the character and strengthen them. I can imagine challenges and potential side stories in their life that others haven't heard of like a manga, or a secret episode like improvising. With one glance these eyes can copy anything it sees as long as I see the reality of ones personal reality or ones religion rules I can cross the boundaries that others can't, ignoring even the existence of the AIM Diffusion Field or Foundation.

"However these eyes gain power from others limiting improvements unless I copy the improvement, it also means I can't gain new abilities on my own making it useless to thugs with superior fighting capabilities that can counter the abilities that I already have."

Code Vader landed on the ground breaking his falling speed with a slide. "Are taking about?! Hey! I don't think that's a good habit to go explaining your abilities in front of Masato!"

Joker accelerated his speed to make himself capable to jump to the skies having Masato at his sights.

Masato stood back pressure and flinch over the above golden eyes that glare at him. "That explains all his attacks from earlier, his attacks lack in term of  progressed but he can always copied the new results from his targets as well and maintain those. I can't let him get close!" The Android pounds off of the earth pillars that she created around her using it as leverage to jump in between the distance of Masato and Joker. "But... whatever ability I use he will copy! What do I do?!"

"Don't worry Tech,"Joker look back at Code Vader with a confident smirk. "It can be problematic but it can also be beneficial when the enemy know your technique." Joker wrapped up his hand into a open fist. And the Android despite being center to stop Joker but unable to initiate an attack. Rather it tired to grab and catch Joker. Joker teleported before the Android could touch him.

"What?!" Masato said surprise suddenly his face turned right in a different direction. Once he realize Joker already landed a jabbed to Masato's face. "That teleportation ability is a problem... it's strange he has not done anything too extreme like killing me or my weapon. Is he holding back or is there a weakness? More likely Kuroko Shirai was hospitalized by September 14th and because of that I could not acquired data on useful teleportation abilities he must have figured out my weapon... no Hamasaki-Kun has." Joker interputed Masato's thinking jabbing him in the gut the hand formation was different when he punch Masato in the face.

"What's wrong coward! What are you thinking about? That's not all you got huh?" Joker mocks Masato following his fast unreadable combos. Masato could hardly see as he seen Joker's face, relentless rapid punches swung left and right finishing his aggressive combo kicking Masato further back.  Masato blood pour out his nose and mouth.

"I have to put a end to his eyes!" Masato shouts within his mind. He whip out a scalpel and swung his arm to Joker's eyes. However his force was shut down and his puny knife was disarmed. "I'm sorry you seem like you're doing good with those eyes but." The scalpel fling back towards Masato as it was revealed to be a magnet but redirected towards Joker's eye. Joker's head fling as Masato nail his attack. "Now please don't make me take the other!"

"Take what? Haha pathetic how dare you. You apologize for trying to get rid of these eyes!" Joker rose up and revealed that his left eye was protected by the domino mask as the direction of it pen on his Mask instead.

"It's a magnetism mask too?" Masato step back but Joker regained balance using that fall speed to strike an uppercut. Masato fling above from off the ground.

"Did you really think I wouldn't have something to protect my eyes?"

Masato's Android caught him lifting him over Joker further away. But he noticed Tedashii flying up towards Masato. Masato commands his android unleashing electricity shock waves only for his surprise face to see Code Vader's vector malice enhanced with his nano program, not only repelled Masato's attack but struck him and his android with a powerful force.

"Magnificent!" Zack said with an enthusiastic tone, not only he can cloak himself with that amor, but he can also do the same with the weapons he uses amplifying the abilities."

"Just hang in there Li Mei and you crazy bastard!" Tedashii said with a smirk looking below at Joker. "You knew that Masato would feel pressured knowing how your abilities work."

"There are aren't they? That's why when I become a judgement member I'll do something about that. Just like the guy who can copy other esper abilities!"

"Copy other esper abilities?" Tedashii says, completely puzzled.

"Oh yeah not too long ago it's been rumor someone is out there copying other people's esper abilities, or more like probably stealing esper powers from people who do bad things." Mara explained while Li Mei nodded eagerly, "It's not the first time this rumor from Auribus Oculi Fideliores Sunt was heard of. It is said the guy who steals other esper powers only appears when the time comes at the bricking depths of darkness."

"Isn't that exciting?!! If this so-called esper thief appears that means the moment will finally arrive!" Li Mei pounced up excitedly fist bumped into the air.

"Hmph so this is a miracle." Tedashii said with a smirk.

"There's no doubt about it! This guy is fucking insanely COOL!!" Tedashii and Zack thought to themselves about each other.

The control android that controlled Li Mei's body crash to the ground, Tedashii quickly reached for Masato and when he did, he's amor dissolved. Tedashii didn't have time to think about anything else and set his priorities on touching Masato's program.

"It's over it's time to set these ridiculous formulas to rest." Tedashii shouts closing in on Masato.

"NOOooooo!!!" Masato cried out punching Tedashii. Tedashii ignore the pain touching Masato.

Tedashii felt nothing. Nothing came up. "Damn it did the battery die? ... Did I missed?" Tedashii realize Masato was holding Tedashii's hand with his other hand.

Joker checking up on the android that took control of Li Mei but the appearance of the droid didn't share any similar qualities with Li Mei. "Is this right? Though it's not like I can tell I don't know what Xiaodan-San even look like. Hey! You did it right? Your plan?!" Yoshikage look up to see the back of Tedashii gripped hand being held back. Though for a split second of cartoonishly growing a big head for curiosity of who Code Vader is, he read the situation and tries to step up.

"Say back freak!!" Masato demand rising a pistol up at gun point to his own head. Tedashii's eyes widened as his face began to change to shock to an sorrow stare staring at the bloody face Joker inflicted upon him, and the desperation

"Sensei!! Why?!!" Tedashii demanded. "This is why I couldn't trust anyone back then because I was afraid of this! What your doing! You've betrayed the class that only accepted you only!! You've hurt Li Mei, and you endanger everyone who wanted to celebrate the Daihaseisai Festival."

"Hamasaki-Kun... I thought I told you never to call me that again? ... The Daihaseisai Festival is only a plan just as yours and every kid's else daily life. You're all just children! You're fourteen years old to hell with that! Why do you have to risk your life!"

"What?"

"An American with shades came to me one night I'm not sure who he was, but I knew he was important! He had connections to the chairman of this city and what he told me is that he had plans for the ones left of the Dark May Project! Aren't you I can tell by the way you fight it's not questionable at all I can tell you're a victim! Around the beginning of July it was decided, not long my desire to be a teacher was only used as a stepping stone to motivate my desires for knowledge.

"Well I'm glad everyone's here today's a very rare one indeed!" Masato said looking at Tedashii who head resting on his hand, annoyingly looking out the window to avoid eye contact from professor Jun'chi.

"Jun'chi-Sensei! Today's your last day!" Hisoka said with a sinister grin. You have to ask Ankareeda-Sensei out before it's too late!"

"I dunno! I think it's too late already really, not to mention I'm still here today and you know she's not into coworkers. So I'll probably ask her out tomorrow."

"Jun'chi-Sensei you little puss. You're never gonna sleep with Ankareeda-Sensei." Checker pants boy cynical trolled waving his arms in the air as his body synchronized his wiggle.

"It breaks our hearts of your denied love, so we'll aid you with advice." Hisoka tearfully said wiping the tears off their checks. The tro weep pitying their teacher whose face turned red.

"That's easy for you guys to say!" Masato condescending points back with a cartoonish face. "If you're going to patronize me at least have proof that you all have succeeded."

"Well I'm at a working progression." Hisoka admits.

"Yeah right I definitely read you getting rejected by Jeong-Min!"  Masato assertive sat back down with a bragging smirk. He had that serious genre anime character looked like as if he's light yagami or some epic detective.

"Blahhhh!! Jun'chi-Sensei you are so ruthless!!" Big eye lashes flap from crying Hisoka. "I'm telling!"

"No you damn not!! I didn't tell on you after what you took from Jeong-Min-San!" Masato threaten. "Plus you started this!"  He's mature look went back to a wimpy cartoonish kid.

The class began to laugh as always Tedashii tapped his finger on his desk until he had enough of the noise.

"Hey! You damn idiots! You're the worst students and teacher ever!" Hamasaki shouts annoy, rising up and tilting to get a look behind him where Masato squeezed weeping Hisoka's cheeks. "If you're not gonna teach the damn class today then I will! ... Again!" What page where on?!"

"Oh well we should be page 96 today." Masato confirms.

Tedashii walk up to the board and shouts, "Hey! Class shall start I'm teaching again so be great full okay." Tedashii look at his annoying classroom everyone stare at him most of the class look annoyed, and the girls disguised by his dressing style, expect that one nobody blue hair girl who blushed at his presents at the back. He flip through the pages quickly to page 96, "Okay you idiots today we will be learning Thought Patter...N..." Tedashii eyes widened as he dropped the book. He place his hand on his head as if he had a serious headache. Masato quickly approach him at his aid.

"Are you okay Hamasaki-Kun?" Masato asked anxiously. "Don't work yourself too hard."

"Yeah." Tedashii mumbles.  "I just got to go to the bathroom."

"Okay make sure you come back, I'll be starting the lesson for real now." Masato said with a smile.

"It'll be find I know a lot about today's subject." Tedashii awkwardly expressed. Tedashii left the classroom as Masato pick up the book.

"Seems like you really had to pick up after him." A student teases.

"Yup." Masato saids in a sympathetic tone.

Back then I didn't think too much of that how little I seen the world as a teacher.

"So this your first day huh? I bet it finally feels good to be in the big league of this city." Scientist with a shave beard and military cap, smirk before taking a smoke from his cigarettes.

"Is that a good idea Takeo-San? Shouldn't we be careful to not smoke at the lab?" Masato cautionary asked.

"Its just one smoke relax."

"But aren't experimenting pacifically enhancing the 5 senses in our project which includes smell, to fine a way to enhanced the esper ability.

"Geez grow up! Where aiming for sound pacifically. This isn't a school we don't have to give a damn about every subject just what we want."

"...Oh." Masato awkwardly nods.

Sometime later Masato was recording data alone, and a young boy snuck in. "So is it true are the rest gonna become espers while I get stronger or not old man?" Curly short hair blonde girl that can be easily confused as a boy say with glasses on. With a try hard belligerent that didn't sound convincing at all.

"Huh?! What are you doing here?! The tests won't start until next week!" Masato panic backing up.

"Don't be scared old bastard. I'm not gonna hurt you yet. Yeah I'm Pyrokinesis esper." The girl curled up a fireball in her hand twirling it with the tip of their finger. "What's you people plans anyways!"

"Oh please like a spec of fire can hurt me with that." Masato complains, "That's hot enough to place my hand over it and warm it hell  a pyro fanatic would play with that." Masato said getting closer.

"Stay back!" The girl shouts.

Masato walked past her and close his currents. "Geez quiet before you get us both in trouble. Here take a seat." Masato lean the girl a chair, but the girl points at the other bigger chair that Masato sat on.

"I want that one!"

"What no this my chair." Masato argue.

"I don't trust you! That chair might be poisoned."

"What?!" Masato saids but sighs. "Seriously how old are you?"

"Don't question me?!" The girl cried out.

Masato annoyed sat on the patient seat while the kid sat comfortably in his lab seat. "So your name is Homura Mari. I knew you were a girl." Masato teased.

"Shut it you! Just cause I'm girl don't mean anything! I'm strong you know!"

"You're a level 1, eight year old, the kids I taught were at least double to a bit less fifteen years older than you."

"So! After these experiments I should be a level 5!"

"Let's just start with the basics kid. But you are lucky, you will have a cheat sheet." Masato complements. Thanks to my technician genus." Masato said with a cartoonish big head and nose.

"Yeah whatever you got a bunch of help!"

"Here." Masato uploaded his holograms above the kid's eyes lid up beaming at the hologram. "By alters the brainwaves of the espers, through the stimulation of all five senses using synesthesia, to the pattern something that Kiyama Harumi. Has discovered we can will follow this and stability the outcome. This is due to the fact that she wants to create a brainwave network. But what we want to do is create a separate brainwave network with no connections to the other wave links that way we can stabilize it into a personal interference, a personal reality." Masato stopped mid sentence as the kid in front of him began to doozy off. "Tell me are you hear to protect your boyfriend?"

"What!! Geez what's wrong with you?! I'm eight years old why would you ask that question?"

"Oh I don't know what came over me." Masato apologetic knowledges, thinking back on his class and students.

"Geez It's boring thats all! Have you're students fall asleep in your class." Mari asked.

"I mean it's bound to happen when you're a teacher."

"Guess I didn't miss anything." Mari says relief. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Masato says with a bright smile.

"Why are you so easy to talk to?"

"Huh? That's not something I'm not proud of to even be able to explain."

"Are all teachers like that?"

"... Yeah."

"Then I want to be a teacher when I grow up." Mari left a bright smile upon Masato face.

"Well you'll have to pay attention and listen to instructions until it's your turn."

Masato later stood in front of the hallway along after returning Mari safety into her room. Some more adult scientists tour with a business man in a suit.

"And the production reproducer towards downstairs."

"It's fine I lost interest." The man frown of annoyance.

"Huh? Wait, there's so much more we can show you! Is there anything else ask away." Scientists beg.

"Not really, I'm just annoyed in this entire building since that bastard Mori isn't here there isn't a single man here. " The business man said scratching his messy hair. The scientific community look around puzzled as there where many men over their thirty's.

"Please Kaneshiro-San you're surely mistaking!" Scientist complaints in disbelief.

"Do you know the meaning of a man?!"

"Huh?!"

"Tch!" Just finish the tour already!" Kaneshiro demand as the scientists panic head to their stations while the advisors lead Kaneshiro to the next building. Masato stare at the whole commotion with other job associates.

"Who was that?" An employee asked another associates.

"That's Board of Director Kaneshiro we have to be on our toes when Kaneshiro is around or he'll probably gain the power to shut this whole building down."

"For real?! You kidding me right the whole building?!"

"Don't be stupid, He's trying to buy this experiment and fund us after all."

"Kaneshiro..." Masato said looking up he suddenly lock eyes with Kaneshiro until he look away following the scientist.

Masato later decided to chill outside staring into the sunset. The same business man shrugs his shoulders and approaches Masato.

"I heard it was you first day. How's was it?" A Kaneshiro ask with a dull stare. "Was it bad you seem to can't get rid of that sadden face, a man shouldn't let his feelings out so causally it says he's weak." Kaneshiro said grabbing his own cigarette. He tried to be nice and share one of his own but Masato decline. "Oh so you're one of the lucky ones to quit or never smoke you know 400 to 530 yen a pack daily weather one or two packs is a pain in the ass."

"That's kinda accurate. Can I ask you something Mr. Kaneshiro-San." Masato asked. "I have this friend that could never understand the grown up way I supposed calling it whatever. It was easy for him to get along with children, thus why he was the most comfortable teacher being around. Though it's not like he wanted to end up like that kind of person. Lacking maturity, no kids of his own. Never took responsibility for another, never married hell this supposed man is still a virgin. Not that he's not interested or anything he just can't seem to keep up a conversation with another adult... expect for me. Being a teacher not only was supposed to be a stepping stone to him but he stayed there for too long and felt he lacked an adult business way. He guess he doesn't have a understanding with what you could get away with and what not in a more mature work place he thought. So when a big opportunity like this arise a chance to not only aim for his dreams however... he actually feel the same he asked me... what is maturity? I don't really know how to answer that question.

"Life sucks, it's making the big ballast decisions to make, have you ever heard the poem a man eating world?" Where it sucks ass but everyone can't be happy, in this world someone has to go down for others to come up. You see, he that sort of person can't be considered a man when he spends his time trying to make the world happy. That man has to do the same when it even comes to romance, remember your dick comes first before any other man's. Don't get me wrong there's heroes and politicians that fight for those said things but those same people have to beat others down for them to be at the top. Why that punk still feel the same is because he never had to mature and make tough decisions, selfish decisions, a man doesn't do what he wants to do. He does what he need to do to complete his mission as a man to this world and a father to his family. And sometimes to the calls are just plain fuck up. But it is what it is. You somethings have to do and say these fuck up things even when it's regardless children they'll understand someday these pusses that fear me because I can shut this whole place down. If I was them I would have apply for a different job already. Maturity is everywhere, you don't obtain it from a job. You obtain it when you let go of irresponsible decisions and trade them for survival. Hell you can be fourteen and already grow up before you realize it like these poor children.

"I... Think I know what you mean." Masato said lowering his head. "But what do you mean by the children."

"Tell Mori to go to hell." 

Some scientists watch from afar and Takeo eyes shrink sinisterly smiling. "You son of a bitch so that's how it is! You're working with Kaneshiro behind our back huh, you trying to cost us our jobs while you get paid more?! I knew it!"

The very next day Masato panic hoping around cartoonishly. "Are you even listening?" Takeo said annoyed.

"Kihara Mori wants to talk to me. Wait does that mean I'm getting fired?" Sweat drifts off Masato face has he fidgeted his fingers together.

"A lot of people have been getting laid off today, we just haven't even losing a lot of money today. I'm sorry if this is the news pal." Takeo sighs. "But I hope it's not."

"Thanks." Masato enter the office to where a tall man awaits him seated. The man appeared in a unpredictable face like Kaneshiro but his notable closed eyes and shaggy hair reason rather than his wide smile. "Welcome Jun'ichi, I would like to have a chat with you. The test subjects have been more obedient and things have improved since you came around. I would like you to assist me with the experiments."

"Wh ... Me?!"

Mori led Masato into his laboratory, once he turned on the lights, Masato's face shifted into a tense face stood there in shock. As the kids that took part of the experiment were sitting still with huge helmets with wires, blood leak from out the helmets as these experiments were doing fatal damages. Masato notice broken glasses near the table and noticed Homura with a helmet just as the other kids in the same state breathing heavily.

"Yeah there still alive being such a pain." Mori complains.

"What did you DO!!" Masato cried out snatching the pistol off of Takeo pocket nearby and pointed it at Mori.

"You see that's why you're losing some rent Takeo, you're always leaving stuff all around." Mori lectures Takeo who had his arms up in the air surrendering.

But Mori didn't bother to surrender reaching his hand out. "Come on give me the gun pussy."

"Uh WHAT?!" Masato screams.

"I know you're not gonna do it so give me the gun. What? What?! WHAT?! You kidding me you think Im afraid, nah. Not by you. You see you just don't have that balls of steel, I've been through this before and well you don't want no one to die. Not me or those kids were you paying any attention? Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! It's your choice!" Masato given in handing Mori the firearm and Mori smiles, "You dumb fuck! Kaneshiro is not gonna save you now."

"It wasn't like that!" Masato begs.

"Nah, Nah, NAH! Fuck that! This experiment is going bankrupt now because of him, well you know what fuck it! If you really wasn't conspiring behind our backs you can get us these last results with a bang."

"Last?" Masato said puzzled. Mori points the same gun at Masato's face.

"Push that button over there these kids definitely gonna die but their deaths won't be for nothing."

"What?! But I thought you said none of us have to die?!" Masato cried out.

"Heh, that's before you gave me the gun. Takeo told me everything! You thought you were better than us to talk shit behind our backs with that board of shit! Well it's time to live with blood on the high tail, live like us. Go ahead push the button or die."

"Push ... the ... button..."  Homura's weak pitch voice caught Masato's attention. He slowly turned around see Homura still strapped and completely of all strength. "I'll become stronger so I can become a teacher just like you."

Masato begs and cries, "They made me kill kids Hamasaki-kun and for what? Because they were going to lose some damn experiment, money! I was a teacher! I taught kids the same age as those kid's blood on my hands! I killed them Hamasaki-Kun! They ruin me! I was a good guy!"

"Shut the hell up!" Tedashii shouts. "They made me do this! They tainted my good name, I was a teacher nothing in that story was about those kids lives or well beings! What happened, at that very moment was on you!"

"How could you say something like that?" Masato said in shock.

"Because you can come back from this! But instead you hurt the ones who remember you as a good person! You have Jeong-Min and Mara fighting, the daihaseisai festival that your class worked so hard will be interrupted by your massacre, and most of all Li Mei the one you even console you abducted like she was some damn item!"

"I don't wanna be like this no more! I don't want to!"

"Then stop." Joker saids stepping up next to Tedashii. "Do the right thing like my dad did."

"Agh... Ah... Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Masato suddenly scream, He places his hands on his head as he began to have a headache. Suddenly the ground rumble Tedashii and Joker held on to their balance as an earthquake rumble only where they were.

Lighting strike out of Masato's controls, "What?!"

"What are you doing now?!" Joker demand.

"Im not doing anything?!" Masato replied back until the pain returned.

"So useless how are you the bad guy if you feel bad? I can't believe I let you control me for this long." A glitchy voice suddenly spoken with Masato's controls. Code Vader and Joker turned to see the Rensa that controlled Li Mei's body lifting her body up. Her eyes beam yellow as she smile at the three. "Thanks, third-strings."
