“So why are we here?” Roco asked Hinko. They were at a coffee shop, drinking coffee.
“We are going to meet one of my students,” Hinko said, taking a sip.
A gust of wind—unnaturally strong—swept into the shop. Kichu’s face tensed up, sensing something. Before he could react, a man appeared in front of them and sat down in the chair.
“Why did you call me?” the man asked Hinko.
Kichu and Roco were shocked—they hadn’t sensed the man until he was already seated.
“Why can’t you travel normally?” Hinko asked him.
“Ah... it’s not fun. Just spill the thing already,” the man said, taking a sip of coffee.
“You have to do a mission. I think you got the message already.”
“Yeah, yeah... I got it. But I'm not gonna do it anyway,” he said, unserious.
“It’s Sir Xavton’s order. You know you can’t reject that, do you?” Hinko pressed him.
“Hah... that old man is still alive? Okay, I’ll go. It’ll take 30 hours,” he replied.
“Why such a perfect time?” Hinko asked.
“One hour to travel and 29 hours for adventure,” he said with a smirk.
“Hah... What a jerk!” Kichu and Roco were surprisingly thinking the same thing.
“You won’t be traveling alone. These men are coming with you,” Hinko said.
“Yeah, whatever... I’ll just—what did you just say? You’re joking, right?” the man asked.
“I’m deadly serious. It’s Sir Xavton’s proposal as well,” Hinko said.
“I’m gonna kill that old hag,” he muttered, turning to Kichu.
“What’s your name, kid?” he asked.
“It’s Kichu,” he replied.
“You?” the man pointed at Roco.
“I’m Roberto Roco,” Roco replied.
“I’m gonna forget it anyway. I’m Fizz Highbolt. I am the fastest man alive,” he declared.
“Fastest?” Kichu asked.
“Yeah, he’s got the Class Two Sin: Lightspeed. But he can’t travel at the speed of light—though he’s faster than you’d think,” Hinko explained to Kichu.
“What do you mean ‘faster than I think’?” Kichu asked.
“Did you see that?” Fizz asked.
“What?”
“Exactly,” Fizz said, then walked to the door.
“I’ll meet you kids. Wait for me,” he added, then disappeared.
“Um... are we going to be okay?” Roco asked Hinko.
“Haha... don’t mind his talking. He’s reliable,” Hinko assured him.
They left the shop and walked through the road, enjoying the city.
Suddenly, an explosion shook the area nearby. They turned toward the source.
“What is that?” Kichu exclaimed and ran toward it.
“Wait, Kichu—” Hinko tried to stop him, but he was already far ahead. He looked for Roco, but he too had followed Kichu.
The scene was terrible. Part of the city had been destroyed. Thousands were injured.
Kichu arrived and saw a man with white hair holding a boy by the neck. The boy was struggling to breathe.
“How dare you put your dirty hands on me? Do you know how much this dress costs?” the man shouted and tightened his grip.
