Chapter 20: Kazuya's Hidden Potential

(Days went by on the original planet Earth which Kazuya swore to get stronger in anyway possible. By doing so, Hinami and Shibuto trained together with Kazuya everyday and made impressive progress within their powers. Light spears was seen being aimed at Kazuya as he continued dodging and countering them with his lightning speed and defensive actions.)
"Kazuya: HA! That was close.."
"Shibuto: Look out!"
(Shibuto began firing meteors made out of thin-air at Kazuya as he then avoided and destroyed each one he sees. After seeing a massive meteor he was then serious and rocketed himself toward it and drill himself through the meteor which then exploded in the air and Hinami launched arrows of light and destroyed the medium sized boulders from striking down at Earth.)
"Kazuya: Thanks guys.. Its a lot better if we do stay together."
"Hinami: Of course Kazuya!"
"Shibuto: That was a good training workout. I think you're getting faster Kazuya!"
"Kazuya: You think so? I mean.. of course I am!"
(Hinami smiled at him.)
"Also, what time do we return to the academy?"
"Shibuto: Around five-ish, we're needed for training according to Gaito."
"Kazuya: Right.. Should we keep training?"
"Hinami: I'd say we should take a break."
(A while later, the three of them was walking through the busy areas of Hakodate which was once again crowded by humans. They then stopped at a outdoor café and got only drinks, Hinami ordered a bubble tea, Shibuto ordered a water and Kazuya ordered a lemonade.)
"Kazuya: So what else do we have covered?"
"Shibuto: Well your strength is increasing, your speed with lightning but the problem is you can't keep a single elemental wave or orb stable due to overusing yourself at the last minute."
"Kazuya: So how do we fix that?"
"Hinami: We'll see what Gaito has in store for us during training today."
"Kazuya: Alright."
(The three of them continued to their drinks as a girl held a sniper rifle on the roof which targeted Kazuya.)

"???: Hmph, that's the next threat to villains..? Sensing his power level over here, he bores me enough to put me to sleep."
(She created a bullet out of pure brick then loaded the sniper with the one bullet.)
"Now.... bye bye Kazuya Ataharu."
(The bullet was fired at rapid speed which Shibuto sensed from afar and quickly pushed Kazuya out the way but the bullet then shatters the window glass but echoed and shattered more glasses from a four mile radius and the civilians started to get away from the glass shattering.)
"Kazuya: WHAT WAS THAT..?!?"
"Shibuto: I don't know... are you ok though?"
"Kazuya: I'm fine..."
(Hinami looked around and tried to sense an elemental's power source.)
"Hinami: I can't find what caused this.."
(Shibuto looked at the shattered glass and found the brick bullet.)
"Shibuto: Guys...?"
(They looked at him with concern.)
"We need to go to the commission."
(A while later, they went to Saikan Academy which they was given directions towards the High Commission's office which then they'd walk in to see Angel, Konnor, Crystalline and the rest of the commission together.)
"Angel: Well now! This is a surprise!"
"Hinami: Its a pleasure to see you all."
(They all kneeled before them as they then felt a bit of discomfort.)
"Shibuto: Please, no need for the kneeling or appreciation! Just treat us like normal human beings, please."
"Angel: Of course, our apologies. How can we be of assistance?"
(They told them what happened which brought concern.)

"Konnor: Correct me if I'm wrong, you've said that this bullet here is made out of pure brick?"
"Hinami: That's right."
"Crystalline: And that bullet was targeted at you, Kazuya?"
"Kazuya: Yeah.."
"Sumizaki: If its possible, could I take a look at it?"
(They gave the bullet to Sumizaki which she'd then analyze it with her link to every human on Earth then found a match.)
"I found a match! The bullet came from a... Amber Hunt."
(Konnor dropped his tea and shivered a bit which had them all concerned until he stood up.)
"Konnor: Amber Hunt... She's the girl who's bullets managed to touch a Demi-God."
(They all was surprised.)
"Out of all people, why her...?"
"Kazuya: Whoa whoa wait a second, she touched a Demi-God..? With bullets...?"
"Konnor: They call her "The Snipe Queen." In America, she's always wanted as she's a very fierce assassin, even with simple guns she can craft the bullet into any body she wants it as long as she touches a single surface. Even the government wants her head.. Once she accepts the target to hunt, she'll do whatever she can to make sure the person's dead."
"Kazuya: But how did she manage to strike a Demi-God with her bullets?"
"Konnor: Because Amber's teacher, is the God of Forgery himself, Hephaestus."
"All: HEPHAESTUS!??!"
"Shibuto: Wait a minute, isn't Hephaestus's job to take her power away if Amber uses it incorrectly for her personal yet wrong purposes?"
"Konnor: From what I heard, she filed a God's restraining order against Hephaestus. If he interfered in anyway with her business or coming into contact with her, he'd be punished legally by the King of Gods."
"Hinami: But this was in Zeus's reign, yes?"
"Angel: Yes, before his defeat."
(Kazuya looked with a bit of concern and started to sweat.)
