#5: In a Battle

Saotome Yui's POV

My uniform arrived the next morning. It was Kamo-san who delievered it to our room. Fushimi-san is still sleeping. Kamo-san took a peek. "It seems that he's been working hard these days", Kamo-san commented and left. Checking the uniform, I find it daring to wear something like this. Fushimi-san is still having a beauty sleep. After having myself washed, I tried the uniform.  No way!!! It is way to short. I can feel the air passing through my skin. These high cut boots doesn't suit my taste. This is only for hot girls like Lieutenant. I heard someone laugh behind me. I face-palmed. "Unlike Lieutenant you have a horrible stuff up there", he commented. In my irritation, I threw my clothes to him. I'm quite aware how flat-chested I am. He sighed and went straight into the bathroom. Kisa-san called so I went out. 

Kisa: What's with the blueprint you sent me?

Yui: I had a good source. It might not be enough to get parred with them but at least we can make the company stay alive

Kisa: You're not the type of person who will forge.

Yui: I will do everything for you. 

No One's POV

Second day of training as a Scepter 4. They gathered into an abandoned warehouse near the forest. Fuse, Domyouji, and Akiyama were paired to Saotome. They are to catch a Strain (those with unusual abilities but doesnt belong to a clan). "Fuse-san, I've got no idea what to do", Saotome said in tremble. "Dont worry, we have the Third-man in Command with us", Akiyama assured. Saotome looked around and saw Fushimi. "Dont tell me it's Fushimi-san?", Saotome asked. "Why dont you just call him brother?", Domyouji asked. There was a sudden bomb explosion. "Draw your sword", Fushimi ordered. They did as what was asked. "Seal all the exit. Group A, prepare the nets. Group B, if the Strain goes berserk, I allow some bloodshed", he instructed. Saotome is with Group B. It is a small scale mission so only a few men are in there. The Strain is a middle aged man with grey hair and fierce red eyes. I can sense blood lust.  Saotome held tight on her sword. "Attack the small fry", the Strain laughed and rushed to Saotome. She was about to swing the sword when Saotome came back to senses. It is a human. She stopped and evaded. "Fuse, assist her", Fushimi ordered. The Strain's ability is to melt  everything he hold. Fuse tried to slash him but the sword melted. "Shall we continue our game? Miss?", the Strain tilted his head. Domyouji and Akiyama went in between  them. "During clutch time like this. You have to keep your brain moving", Fushimi adviced. Saotome saw a bucket of water. She ran to it and splashed it into the Strain. His powers shut down.

The mission ended. They all went back at the headquarters and went straight to the dinning room. Domyouji hang his arm around Saotome. "That was amazing!!!", Domyouji praised. "Ah, Fushimi-san told us to use our head. The only thing to cool down boiling things is to pour water on them", Saotome explained. "That was a good answer", Fuse commended. What am I doing here?  I am suppose to drag Fushimi-san back to the company. I cannot waste my time. Saotome left to look for the anti-social man. She saw him sitting lying on his bed. "That was a crazy to thing to do ", Saotome complained. "I never expected you would let me do stuffs like those", she added. "You're destroying my eardrums", Fushimi sat straight on his bed. "What do you need this time?", Fushimi asked. "Fushimi-san, please re-consider helping the company. It's also your concern, right?", Saotome tried to convince him. He averted his stares and went went back to sleep. 

The next day, they were given a day off. Saotome wore civilian clothes and went to meet with Anna and Yata. She's wearing white sweater and jeans. They met at the park. "Wah!!! Anna, you look gorgeous as ever", Saotome praised looking at a petite girl in red dress. "By the way, how did the two of you knew each other?", Yata asked. "Yui-san is from the same orphanage house I came from", Anna answered. "Thank you for coming. Shall we go have few chats?", Saotome led the way to the mall. "It's been a while since I had a walk like this", Yata seems to remember things. "That monkey hates to walk into crowded places like this", Yata informed. "It's okay. We can ignore him first", Saotome said. "You're here to get some information about him right? I'm helping Anna by helping you. Don't get the wrong idea", Yata explained. "That monkey and I started living on our own after graduating in middle high. He was the one who planned to escape from everything", Yata started to narrate. " I cant believe he became that rebellious in a young age", Saotome commented. "I cannot blame him either", Yata said in a lazy voice. Anna stopped him from giving further details. "The rest is for her to know", Anna grabbed them inside a toy store. 

Anna's unbelievably addicted to apples and so she collected apple stuff toys. After a long day of enjoying the sun, they separated ways. Saotome went to buy some supplies for the Scepter. 

Shampoo, soap, toothpaste, body scrubs, groceries, and etc... 

They made her carry their orders while they are all having a party inside Hidaka's room. 

Some of the information about the characters are made by me.
