"AYATOOO!" Mika screamed as she waited outside the Officer Division headquarters.
From atop the Division housing, someone's head popped out one of the windows.
As he looked down, his face turned into a disappointed look.
"What do you want, Mika?! I'm training right now!" Ayato shouted back.
"We've got an assignment; get your butt down here!" Mika demanded as she watched Ayato closely with her arms crossed.
"What?! Really?! Okay! Hang on! I'll be right there!" Ayato shouted back once more as he disappeared from the window.
Mika looks around as she waits, observing the local koi fish pond they had. However, in the reflection of the water, she noticed something falling out of the window. As she turned to look up, her eyes widened in awe.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Mika screamed as she watched Ayato falling from the sky.
"I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THIS THROUGH!" Ayato shouted back as he started flailing in the air.
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THESE THINGS!" Mika screamed back instantly as Ayato smashed into the ground right before her feet.
His body twitches as he lies in a small dent he made in the walkway. Sprawled out, Mika looks at him and crouches down. To begin poking him with a stick.
"Are you dead?" Mika questioned as she continued poking.
The only response she got was his body twitching each time.
"Yeah, he's dead. Guess I have to go pick up Aiza by myself then." Mika informed him as she continued poking him.
However, after hearing the name Aiza, Ayato shot up out of the ground, covered in dirt and scratches. Standing tall and proud, like he had just accomplished something of great importance.
"Don't you worry! I'm not dead!" Ayato proudly pronounced as he stood, ignoring any pain he possibly had.
"Wow, you've got a real hard-on for Aiza, huh..." Mika murmured as she stood up and tossed the stick away.
"Ha, ha, ha! Let's go get Aiza!" Ayato expresses as he marches onwards, leaving Mika to watch with an absurd look of disappointment.
The Medical Division Headquarters
On the second floor sat a shy and reserved girl as she watched her fellow Medic members focusing their soul energy into a healing spell. However, as she tried to mimic them, she always fell short. Even to the point she was mocked. Others were giggling about her, while she kept her concentration and continued trying.
She begins feeling some sort of warmth, a sort of energy spark within her hands. Then she focuses a little harder.
"AIZA!!!" A loud voice shouted, instantly breaking any concentration she had. Her shyness and confusion mix on her face as she looks around in quick movements.
"Stop shouting, you idiot! Did you forget where we were?" Another voice yelled, and this time the other Medic members began investigating the disturbance outside the headquarters.
As they look outside, they find Mika and Ayato wrestling with each other in a contest of strength while also bickering in quick succession.
"You're always so annoying!" Mika shouted,
"Well, you always act like you've got something up your butt!" Ayato shouted back.
"At least I don't look like an idiot every second of every day!" Mika retorted.
"Yeah, well! Well!" Ayato started falling short on his insults, yet he continued struggling against Mika.
"What's wrong! Cat got your tongue! Haha!" Mika remarked as she started overpowering Ayato.
However, as Aiza shyly rushed out the door, Ayato quickly noticed her.
"AIZA!!!" Ayato shouted in excitement, and with great unnatural strength quickly overpowered Mika and tossed her away.
Before rushing at Aiza with his arms open to hug her. But as he almost had her, he found himself running in place.
"Stop being a freakishly strong creep!" Mika demanded before ripping Ayato back.
"M-Mika, A-Ayato... What are you guys doing here?" Aiza asked a question softly.
"To get you, dummy. We've got a mission." Mika informed as she turned to look at Ayato, who was on the ground sprawled out.
"W-What's the mission? Is it d-dangerous?" Aiza questioned shyly.
"We're to apprehend an off-grid proxy." Mika whispered to Aiza, as she didn't want the info to spread.
"W-What?!" Aiza shouted,
"Shhh! We can't speak of it out loud." Mika hushed Aiza before grabbing her wrist to begin dragging her away.
"Now, no more wasting time! We need to hurry!" Mika demanded as she grabbed hold of Ayato as well with her other hand. Dragging the two off for their mission.
Marin's House
"So, if fissures get stronger with scars,. Then does that mean they could become infinitely stronger?" Kairo questioned
"Not entirely, while the entire body of a Fissure could hold numerous scars. Their bodies would become too powerful to the point any further wounds they obtained would simply heal themselves." Chirashi, she informs as she fans herself.
"Have you ever encountered a Fissure that strong before?" Marin questioned with her hand raised like a proper student.
Chirashi paused for a moment, staring off into one of Marin's nearby walls, but continued fanning herself gently.
"Suspenseful..." Ingrid remarked as he wished to break the tension.
Chirashi glanced over at Kairo as her fan covered her mouth. Her eyes were observing him and analyzing his motions.
"What? Do I look weird?" Kairo questioned frantically.
"Kairo... Do you hear any voices?" Chirashi interjected with a question.
"N-Not really..." Kairo responded with uncertainty.
"Not really? That's a sign if I've ever seen one." Ingrid pointed out as he played with the ball he had from before.
Kairo glared at him for only a moment before Chirashi appeared right in front of him, her eyes looking down into his. As she towers over him with her fan between their lips.
"Voices... Tell me..." Chirashi spoke with a chilling voice compared to normal.
"N-No! Okay, I don't hear voices!" Kairo expressed as he felt a cold chill shiver down his spine.
Chirashi still held her tense look on him from before.
"Well, alright then! That rules out my theory!" Chirashi expressed it with her normal tone.
Kairo releases a hefty sigh as he tries to regain his composure.
"Um, why did you suddenly change Chirashi?" Marin questioned with concern.
"Oh, silly me, did I? That must've been a part of the old me that got out." Chirashi responded before breaking out into a quirky laugh.
"T-That was an old you? W-What the hell were you like back then?" Kairo questioned while still regaining his composure.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Chirashi remarked with a wink and her tongue out in a cute mocking expression.
