"You sure you don't want to at least tell him goodbye, Goo?"

As they were sitting inside of the airport and waiting for their plane, Gun and Goo simply sat down as they looked at their phones. While Gun was messaging his employer that Goo was returning to Korea, Goo was seen texting someone else.

"Hell no, i'm not one for cringe and sappy farewells. Especially for a little brat like that. Plus, I know what you really want to ask me Gun. The answer is I don't know."

"Heh. A guy with a copy ability trained by me and a guy with a copy ability who was trained by both you and Bang. I guess I can see why you don't have an answer. With so many factors in play, there is only one answer we can say."

"Yeah, we won't know unless they actually fi-- OUCH!!!!"

Goo shrieked in pain as it felt like something bit his right ankle. However, as he looked around on the ground, he saw nothing. Before Goo could question what happened, he saw Gun getting up and ready to board the plane. As the weapon genius followed him, the man had one thought.

"You were trained by me, so don't go around and lose to some nobody, Tomioka Nagisa."

As the weapon genius began to leave, just around the corner something was seen slithering into the shadows. It's body was that of a snake, but if one would look closely at it, it had a yellow arrow mark on the top part of its body.

~The Next Day~

"By the way, where are they?"

"Don't worry, Yuuki-kun, they're right there."

When Yuuki turned around, he saw Sahara in a red two piece swimsuit as Nagisa was standing right beside her. He wore black swim trunks with an open gray jacket as he wore his hair in a high ponytail as opposed to his usual low ponytail. Sahara loved it since she was the one who did it and thought it was cute.

"The tube is ready!!!!"

"Let's go swimming, Nei!"

As Sahara and Nei went into the water, the chiefs and Shushu soon joined after them. Just as Yuuki was about to go join them in the water, he saw Nagisa was standing still. Concerned by this, Yuuki decided to stay back for a few minutes to check on his best friend.

"What's wrong, Nagi, do you not feel like swimming?"

"It's not that, it's just that if I go in the water, I need to take off my jacket. I don't want to ruin the mood."

Before Yuuki could ask why, both himself and Nagisa felt a breeze hit them. As Nagisa's jacket blew upwards a bit, Yuuki saw them. Slash marks, bullet wounds, all sorts of scars that were upon Nagisa's body. Suddenly Yuuki placed both of his hands on Nagisa's shoulders.

"Nagi, what happened to you?! Are you okay?!"

"Calm down, this was just from my training is all."

"But still, isn't this a bit extr-"

"If I can't handle this much pain, then i have no right to be in the corps. If we want to save Aoba and her friends, we'll have to fight the Eight Gods of Thunder and I am positive they hurt more than a gun. If I don't give this much effort, i'll just be a nuisance. I'm not like you Yuuki. You put in the hard work, but you have the chief and her ability to support you. As for me....all I have is my hard work and physical strength. If I want to be of help to anyone, I have to work twice- no, three times as hard to keep up. I refuse to be as helpless as I was with my own sister."

Yuuki saw Nagisa clench his fists at the mention of his own sister. Honestly, Yuuki felt like slapping himself for not seeing the pain Nagisa had. Nagisa lost his sister, shortly afterwards he met Aoba and Yuuki. Then after that, Aoba disappeared into mato. To lose two people important to you right in front of you and not being able to do anything about it, just how much pain did Nagisa hide to keep others from worrying.

"Nagi.......start being a child! We came to the beach to have fun, so start having fun!"

Just as Yuuki said this, he karate chopped Nagisa at the top of his head. Soon he began to drag his friend into the ocean as they began to swim with the girls. Truth be told, Yuuki thinks a break was much needed. With everything that happened, it was easy to get caught up in the flow and neglecting to rest. Soon everything else just happened naturally.

Right now, Sahara was having a race against Nagisa in the water. She ended up losing against Nagisa as he was a faster swimmer. However, Sahara wasn't sad at all about losing. She was just happy that Nagisa was beginning to enjoy himself. Soon the two of them got out of the water as they sat underneath the umbrella.

"Nagi-chan, are you having fun?"

"Of course, honestly with how fast everything was going, I thought I would never catch my breath."

"I know what you mean. It's rare for us to catch breaks, especially now that the Gods of Thunder's existence was exposed to the corps. But....I think that just means the times we do get breaks are more special."

Just as she said this, Sahara felt a yawn escaping from her lips. Soon the girl began to hug onto Nagisa's right arm. When the boy looked at Sahara, he saw how her chest was pressed against his arm as the girl was drifting to sleep. The boy merely looked at the ocean with his same stoic expression as he thought to himself.

"I love being a lucky bastard. Thank you, God of Happy Accidents."

"Yuuki, Sahara. Thank you, it feels like I can take it easy now."

As Nagisa said this, he checked his phone. The moment he did, he saw he had a new message. The moment he opened it and read what it said, a small chuckle escaped from Nagisa. Rest assured, only Goo would say this as a farewell.

"As my secret friend, you have zero rights to lose or else i'll shit talk you for generations."

~Nighttime~
A young actress was seen inside of a hotel as she was getting ready for the next part she was about to play. As she was happily taking a shower, she could've sworn she heard someone speaking to her.

"You're really pretty, aren't you?"

"Shikoku-nee wouldn't like any commotion."

As Kuusetsu picked up the woman she just knocked out, she began to remember something Shikoku told her. She warned her of a man who was calm and still like water but also monstrous like that of an unstoppable force. If she wasn't careful, it was likely that same man might face her. Soon Kuusetsu let a smile form on her face as she thought to herself.

"I wonder....is the one Shikoku-nee has her eyes on beautiful too?"
