Honkai Impact: Trigger Odyssey

Ch-14

[Schemes and a Blue Shadow]

Akito was by himself, locked up in his laboratory once more. On a table near him, there was a stone tablet with several wires integrated at the purple orb. Connected to these wire was an apparatus with a housed empty Hyperkey. On the other table were several monitors that was linked with the world wide surveillance system run by the Shizuma group.

"I'm getting too concerned with their inactivity these days..."
Akito sighed as he was monitoring the developments from all over the world.

"Maybe this is a good thing as I could finally take a break for myself.."
He uttered, resting his back to his seat.

He soon heard a ping from the surveillance system which threw him back to his job. Manning the keyboard, he quickly narrowed down where the recently spotted strange activity was being held at. What he found shook him to the core.

"No... It can't be..."
He typed fast once more, zooming at where he found.

A sleek humanoid figure in white and several spots of dark blue was casually walking forward what seemed to be a tower.

"....You....!"
Akito's voice seethed with rage upon seeing the figure. All his anger was focused on the face, which had a sinister pair of glowing blue eyes.

"Hudram...!"

-

"Are you adjusting well, Subject Kengo?"
Bronya asked.

"A little..."
Kengo said and sighed.

The two of them were in the gymnasium. No one else was present as this day was the weekends, a perfect day for leisure things. Including practice and training, which was the subject of their session for today.

"If I know my future would end up like this, I should've really practiced..."
He muttered.

"People's future holds quite a lot of ambiguity, specially in this day and age. One can't tell what will happen later on."
Bronya remarked.

"You're right.."

"Mei told that to me. The Bronya was just emulating it."

"I-I see..."

"If The Bronya may implore, what is your exact relationship with Mei?"

"A-ah ... Well, we're just childhood friends at best."

"Is that so."

"Yes but ah.. we lost contact when mom took me with her at Mars colony for her work. I couldn't contact her since then, until now that is."

"I see."
Bronya held her chin at his answer.

"Now let's get back to training. Are you still struggling on controlling your ability?"

"A little.."

"Do you usually run your instincts?"

"Um... It's hard to say. I just step in and summon it. That's it."

"I see. So I'll take it that you run your instinct. That will change as I will teach you how to use your shield more effectively."

"Understood!"

"Good. Now first thing you need to do is put your mind and focus, then feel your own energy."

Kengo nodded.

"Sit down and close your eyes."

He then sat down and closed his eyes.

"Okay, get a feel of your energy."
