Chapter 2: Welcome in Academy City
Tetsu opened his eyes as the morning sun gave him a refreshing feeling. He stretched hands and legs and yawned. Rubbing his eyes out of the sleepiness, he saw the beautiful field of grass, flowers and vegetation. Smiling at the sight, he grabbed his sword and made his way to a stream. From there, he took a bath to freshen up. Looking at the only clothing he had, which was a one piece cloak that covered him from his head down, it might as well be a cape wrapped around him.
Sighing, he continue his bath before he heard a scream behind him. More specifically a woman's voice. He turned around and got hold of his katana at the ready but saw no enemies except for a bunch of young girls in a school uniform. Confused but still on guard, he held his katana beside him and he saw that they were typing on some device.
"Excuse me, what are you doing?" spoke in fluent Chinese. But the young woman ignores him and shakily puts her phone to her ear. "Yes? Hello!? There is a pervert taking a bath in the waters of Pearl River!" The young woman said with discomfort in her voice. Unable to understand the situation he was in, Tetsu got out of the water and took his clothes with him. Moving at such speed that the girl didn't see him disappear.
Tetsu was sitting on a truck after freshening up. With the speed the truck was going, the cool winds dried his towel for a clothing in a few minutes. But even so, the city of Guangzhou is busy and always in a constant state of developing its ideas into reality. With his katana resting on his shoulder as he hugs it, a police siren can be heard and a person's voice rang out from the speaker, reminding Tetsu of when he was back in the Lab.
"You there! Get of the truck or else we will be forced to put you down!" The policeman said through his speaker.
Tetsu click his tongue and got up, ignoring the warnings of the policeman. Without warning, he jumped off truck and landed on a speeding Vehicle that zoomed past them. When he landed, he didn't a noise and swiftly got off the roof of the car and got on another, finally out of reach of the policemen that called out to him. Sighing, he landed on another roof of a truck and lied down.
"Finally I get time to be alone" He said while putting his hands behind his back. As he watch the clouds morph into different shapes and the wind passing through his hair, he saw something that he only heard through stories that his father told him.
His memory was as clear as the sky and he remembered the exact words he used to explain the giant metal bird that flew above him. A flash back happens and it goes back to when Tetsu was still young. He had spiky hair and light yellow colored eyes.
"Tetsu, the world is bigger than you realize. Do you know how to get to places outside of China?" Lin questions him with a bright smile.
Tetsu closes his eyes while having a thinking face and made Lin smile even brighter. After a few seconds pass, Tetsu opens his eyes and a imaginary light bulb pops up above his head. He slams his hand on his palm and said "Oh oh! I know I know! You fly!" Tetsu was so confident that it took every willpower Lin had to stop himself from saying no so he twisted his way of correcting him while making him think its right.
"You're right! You're such a smart boy. That is right Tetsu, we fly. But how do we fly is the question. You see, us human has evolved over the past thousands of years, learning new things, some faster than others and now we see the vehicles we see today. Cars, trucks, boats, ships and finally..." He tells his son with great enthusiasm before finishing his sentence with a snap of his finger and various tiny vehicles of what he explained to Tetsu popped into reality "...Planes"
The young Tetsu's eyes shot open and his mouth drops as jumps off the bed and follows a miniature size race car. But it poof out of existence when he touched it. "Aww. Did I break it, papa?" He said with a sad tone. Lin rubs his head and laughs. "No son, you didn't. It's just my powers, I can create any shape or form using my thoughts, but it cannot harm anyone.....thought it can act as a awesome decoy or distraction" said Lin with a prideful tone in his voice.
Tetsu smiled as well then he remembered something "Hey dad? Why did you named me Tetsu?" asked Tetsu with curiosity. Lin looks at Tetsu and gave a sad smile "It was..." but Tetsu was snapped out of his daydream when a Helicopter hovers over him. The voice spoke out through the speakers once again and Tetsu used his clothes to cover his face.
"Put your hands behind your back! We have every right to shoot if I think you move a muscle!" said the commander in his black military uniform. Tetsu's eyebrows narrows, he saw that every vehicle had stopped but there were multiple police cars surrounding the area. It was at that moment Tetsu notice that there weren't anyone in the vehicles anymore and the people in the police car were the only ones there.
He didn't move but calmly observe the situation, seeing how they weren't taking the shot, his first choice was to run but that would mean having cops chasing after him while being almost naked. He needed a diversion and he found it but kept quiet and continue observing. He eyed the Helicopter that landed in the middle of the road and the commander that spoke to him was speaking to his radio. Tetsu found another chance but it was too soon.
The commander walks forward but made sure he kept his distance. He stops a few meters away from Tetsu before he began speaking without his speaker this time "State your name, your purpose and who are you working with!" said the commander with a deep voice hoping to intimidate the boy. Tetsu looks down at the man but kept silent. "Oh so you're those types huh. No worries, we just need her and our job is easy" he spoke as if he had already won. The commander was old and had a dirty beard, his stomach bounced and he acted with so much confindents it was actually funny.
Every policeman was on standby as they watched Tetsu like a Hawk. A few minutes passed and the commander just sat down and ate eight boxes worth of food. He let out a loud sigh and poked his nose. "Where the hell is that woman!? We were told to standby so where is she!" He said out loud with annoyance. Just as he asked, a woman fell from the sky and landed in front of the commander and he fell backwards. A woman who was in her early twenties had a pair of shades, hair as blue as the ocean and wore a office clothing that clung to her body that showed off her curve and bust.
The commander and every policeman in the field took this chance to take a good look at her. Some were licking their lips but the commander was the worse one of all, he was breathing heavily and didn't care if she noticed him staring so hard he would've bore holes in her skirt.
She fixed her shades and spoke with a nightly and charismatic tone "Commander, apologies for the late arrival!" She shouted. It was enough to shake the commander out of his wet dream. He stood up straight and cleared his throat regained his composure. "Madam Fang, I've sent your the report on this..." he gave Tetsu a disgusted look before speaking again "...this wannabe thug" he said to the lady who was called "Madam Fang" she flipped her hair as she eyed Tetsu.
Tetsu only looked back and didn't bother about the warning earlier and stood up. The first shot was a sniper. The bullet zipped through the air towards Tetsu. Little did they know, he eyed at the direction of the bullet when it left the barrel and when it got close to him, the bullet, which was a 50 BMG got shred to pieces by invisible blade at lightning speed.
Tetsu's plan has started. The bullets rained down on him and he didn't care one bit. Under the rain of bullets, Madam Fang has one hand on her waists and she walked forward and stomped the ground with her high heels. The ground splits apart towards Tetsu's but he jumped eighty feet into the air. Seeing their chance they took their aim and fire. "I see, so that's how it is" said Tetsu with a analysis tone. He held the handle and without pulling out his sword he deflected all the bullet back at the enemy. He landed on the opposite side of the Helicopter and started running. The commander pulls out his M7A1 and started blasting at Tetsu. Turning at the sound of the gunshots, he spins his sword and caught every bullet, lined them up on the ground then send it right back at the commander.
The bullets were blocked by the woman who came to the commanders rescue when she shot her hand up in a uppercut attack and the ground burst up and the bullets were block. She smiled at Tetsu who only gave him a blank stare.
"You're pretty good. It would've seems that I underestimated you. You have potential. Now rejoice, the great level 4 esper, Yu Lui Fang, will not personally invi-" her speech was interrupted by the commander who told her about reality. "Um, excuse me Madam Fang? He already left" he said that with a deadpan face.
"Huh!?" Madam Fang said in confusion but she was then hit with reality when Tetsu was no where in sight. Only the dust in the wind can be seen as Madam Fang's smile turns into a sadistic one. "Oh ho? You dare run from me? Me!? I am Madam Fang of the Great Fang Family and everyone loves to at least have my attention but you...." she continues to mumble about her life as the commander and the rest of the squad backs off from her. "Ok everyone, best to pack up and leave this to Madam Fang, it time for her hunt" said the commander over the radio to his comrades. Everyone then packs up ignore whatever just happens and she continues her ramblings.
"YOU DARE RUN FROM ME! KUAHAHAHAH, BOY YOU HAVE SPARK UP SOMETHING IN ME! NOW LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN SURVIVE!" She yelled out as she stretches out her hand and the ground started spiraling and covers her hands and legs.
She then burst forth with amazing speed, chasing after Tetsu who was making his way to the airport. The commander took out a cigar and lits it up. After taking one long breath from his cigar, he let out a big cloudy smoke. "Do you know why she is called the Fang?" He said to his lieutenant but he shakes his head. So he continues "It's because once she had her eyes set on her prey, she will never let go. There isn't a person in the world that has gotten away from the clutches of her fangs" he said as he finally finishes his cigar. They got into their helicopter but there was a problem, they couldn't turn it on, no, they can but he problem was, the wings of the helicopter was clipped. And so were the police cars, their tires were flat.
The commander looks back at the direction Madam Fang and Tetsu went. He smiled "That brat got us" he said as he calls for a vehicle from HQ.
Tetsu was currently running up a 1,016 ft building. People inside didn't notice because Tetsu was unknowingly using the wind as a foothold to push himself up the building. It was as thin as ice but as sturdy as the ground, so it allowed him to run up the building without bothering the people inside even though it looks as if he was actually touching the window.
"Oi oi oi! What's the matter kid!? Show me some moves!" She said with enthusiasm as she burst forth from her location and towards Tetsu who just didn't care about her despite the dangerous large smile she has on her face. Tetsu looks left and right before spotting something in the distance. He slows down and it gave Madam Fang the chance to close the distance and grab him. But he disappeared, no to be more specific, he got out of her sight by jumping off the side of the building. In slow motion Madam Fang saw wind gathering above his left hand before he was pushed with so much force, he covered around eight miles.
Madam Fang slows down and grabs onto the edge of the building as she watches him disappear in the distance. She then laughs hysterically before she stopped and got out her cell phone.
"Hey Captain? Yeah, I found someone who can "escape" me....no this is not like the last time....No Ma'am.....yes...you want to bring him in?" said spoke with her superior as she eyed the horizon where the airport was and nodded "...I understand..." her eyes widens and she showed a toothy grin and turns off her cell phone "Aren't you special, not only you got my attention but for did my superiors. This will be fun" she concludes before letting go of the edge and falling through the air, laughing joyfully.
Tetsu finally made it to the airport. Everyone looked at him as if he was some kind of beggar. Though that is a hit true since the only clothing he has is his cape and his sword. Sighing he made his way inside the airport and went wide eye as he takes in the new environment. He stares in awe and even got distracted by the multiple stores and mall but was grabbed by a security guard from the back.
"Well well well what do we have here?" Said the security guard with terrible breath. His smile was crooked and Tetsu was looked up at him which he seriously took discomfort to. He knocks away his hand with the handle of his Katana and the security guard started wailing on the ground clutching his left hand as if he was hit by something painful. "You brat! I think it's broken!" So he says but he got up without so much as whimper when he used his left hand. "Hey boy, how will you compensate for this huh?" He said as he got right in his face and pushes him back. Tetsu didn't show fear and just looks at him blankly. Annoyed by this, he took another way to annoy him. "Tch, what a disrespectful child, I bet your parents dropped you on the head when you were born, Buahwahahah!" He said to Tetsu, insulting him, though he didn't know he already did something. Tetsu sighs and ignores him but the security guard gets angry and roughly grabs him by the shoulder.
"Hey brat! I'm talking to you here! You ain't leaving until you compensate for injuring my hand!" He spat at his face. But it seems that words didn't register in Tetsu's brain but he said "You want me to compensate you?" He said to the security guard. He nodded then Tetsu rested his Katana on his shoulder, which was out of its sheath. The security guard backs away and tries to go for his radio but his hands didn't listen to him. He looks down at them and saw that his hands are no longer working and the fact he didn't feel anything. He looks at Tetsu's blade that was back in his sheath.
"Congratulations, you will never use those arm again" he said to the security officer. Confused, Tetsu explains to him. "There is are nerves in your body that focuses on the movement of your arms and fingers, I simply cut those nerves" Tetsu's continues "You should go and find a hospital, you are now suffering internal bleeding. That...is my compensation to you. Have a good day" Tetsu said as he bowed to the security guard he started panicking and looked around for help but no one helped him and his scream can be heard in the background when Tetsu exits the airport from the back.
The sun bores down at him and he saw the airplane in the distance. Before coming in he saw that there were three flights leaving for Japan. He saw the Japanese symbol for Japan on the tail of the plane and it was already leaving. Didn't want to wait anymore, he ran towards the it. However, he wasn't expecting it to be easy. The same woman who chased him stepped out in the open with a smile, stopping him in his tracks.
"Hello boy, I see you missed your flight?" She said stating the obvious. Tetsu's ignores her and decided to run at full speed. But to his surprise, she caught up with him, hands in her pocket. "Last time I was holding back but now, I get to go full power!" She explains when she grabs Tetsu at the back of his head and slams it into the ground. And she wasn't done, she drags him across the floor and she threw him back from where he came from. Tetsu face was unharmed but he still felt the hit. He groans and gets back up but the moment he did, Madam Fang already got to him and placed a soft tap on his chest. Confused but not later than that, he felt an immense force that shook him to his core and the ground he was sitting on became a large crater. His eyes rolled back and he gritted his teeth so hard he was sure that he felt a crack in one of his tooth. He coughed out blood and fell on his back. Madam Fang raised an eyebrow and sigh in disappointment.
She turns around and pulls out her cell phone and dialed a phone number. She patiently waited for it to answer and it did after six clicks. The person on the other side answers "This better be good" a tone of absolute authority spoke out and Madam Fang sighs. "Sorry boss, guess this one is a fail, too" she explains to her boss and a heavy sigh could be heard.
"I did say not to get your hopes up. Did you kill him?" He asked Fang.
"No, no I haven't-Hmm? Somethings wrong" Fang said to her boss as her hair began to stand on end. "What do you mean? Did something happen?" Her boss asked and she got an instant reply "The boy's gone" she said to her. Then she felt the air and wind went still. There wasn't even a breeze and she felt something dangerous was coming. She eyed everything but couldn't find the Tetsu until she heard the sound of the blade unsheathe sharply. The next thing she saw was Tetsu bright blue eyes and she fell to the ground.
Tetsu goes in and unsheathe his blade and just as he got close to the woman, he striked her three times soundless force and she was flung back and fell to the floor, bleeding heavily. Breathing heavily, he saw the cell phone she used and picked it up, he heard a woman's voice "Fang!? FANG!? What happened! Can you me! Fan-" he switch the cell phone off and stomped on it. He saw that his flight was begging its final phase to take off and he looked down on the woman who was bleeding from her mouth, right shoulder, left side of her stomach, left thigh. He looks back at the flight and back at the lady.
"I won't let this happen again" he though as he brings his sword up and brings it down on her.
Moments later he was finally in the plane, he looked out at the window of the plane and rested his head on the comfortable chair. Before the plane took off, he saw people putting someone in a stretcher and he closed his eyes to rest. "Refreshments?" A soft voice called out to him. He opens his eyes and saw a trolley filled with food and water. He eyed her and smiled. "I'll have one bottle of water, please" he said to her and she sweetly smiled back at him and bit her lips before giving him his water. He opens it and looks at himself. He was wearing proper clothing, a normal T-Shirt that clung to his body that showed his perfectly toned arms. He wore long Jeans and had a sport shoe on.
"Thank you for boarding this plane to Japan. We will be arriving in six hours so I hope you'll enjoy our service" the pilot said over the radio.
Tetsu finally got some sleep and woke up when the pilot spoke over the radio again. "Good evening folks, I hope you enjoyed our flight and service. We will be landing shortly. So I advice all of you to put on your seatbelt. Now everyone, I welcome you" but Tetsu finishes the pilot's sentence.
"To Academy City"
