THIRD PERSON POV

Anya jumped off of Yor back, as she scurried over to Akari.

"Nee-chan!" she yelled, hugging her older sister tightly. While hugging her, Loid and Yor looked at each other.

"Oh... Loid-san..." Yor said, slightly caught off guard that Loid has caught up with them.

"Yor..." Loid said, while looking at the women. As the two looked at each other, Anya smirked.

"Chi-chi and Ha-ha are flirting," Anya said, while grinning evilly.

"WHAT NO WE AREN'T," the two adults yelped, looking at their younger daughter surprisingly. Ryan started to laugh at what Anya said, and the two adults finally looked over to their older child.

"Akari! Where were you? We were so worried about you!" Yor said, as she quickly went and hugged her daughter. Loid sighed, "Yeah, don't run off with your friends without telling us, we get worried you know."

Loid joined in as the three people hugged the girl. Akari was shocked, as her eyes remained open, and they were wide as well. She didn't know how to react, she wasn't used to this type of affection.

Ryan stood apart, while smiling slightly.

RYAN POV

I watched Cruel Hero's so called "family" as they hugged her tightly. I stood apart from them, I was happy for Cruel Hero, of course I was. I know that people who joined Puzzle went through, and I know the top 3 had gone through the worse. Yet, I know absolutely nothing about the top three.

Cruel Hero was the same age as me, yet I was light years behind her. A sibling, a mother, a father, not many people in Puzzle have that. If they were lucky, they had friends outside from the organization. And here I am, my family, sibling are all gone. They don't stand with me anymore. But it never really affected me anyway, I don't really know what they're doing now. I kind of ran away from home, and became homeless after that.

Perpetual and the Unknown took me in, and I started training in Puzzle. And that was when I had Akari, I thought we were on the same level. I thought we were equal in everything. Knowledge, IQ, Physically, Martial Arts, Weaponry. But I was brutally wrong. She was the top at everything she did, and by the age of 10, she was already climbing up the ranks like it was nothing.

Usually, people who are at the age of twenty finally start getting missions, but at the mere age of ten, she out-classed everyone. Her emotions were closed, and she did not speak to anyone. And once she was chosen for a mission, she never came back to train.

She did mission after mission. And sure enough, she became a hotshot. She was in the top ten, then top five, and now top three.

Perpetual and Unknown are the most mysterious people, no one knows anything about them. Yet, there is one thing everyone knows about them. They could potentially be stronger than Westalis's Twilight.

They're smarter than everyone combined, and strong enough to take down armies with their designated weapons. They are feared dearly by the Puzzle workers.

Perpetual and Unknown were the founders of Puzzle. Which means they're around thirty years old, which just goes to show how amazing Cruel Hero is. Being fifteen, and half their age, she's already number three.

Yet, there is something I wonder.

Will Cruel Hero ever leave this family she's in? She only left for the ease of doing missions.

THIRD PERSON POV

The Forger family let go of each other, as Anya remained in Akari's arms. Loid looked over at Ryan, and eyed him.
