[Akane's POV]
I left the girl, after I temporarily paralyzed her. I look to my side and see Mira panting.
'Idiot.. She seriously couldn't be more clever on her moves? Looks like she's fighting with the top.. Than that means Tomo is fighting with the 2nd best?'
I sigh to myself, and silently moves behind the black haired boy. I hit his pressure point on his leg, and he fell on one knee. I hold a blade against his neck, from behind. "Tch! Why you help me?! I had him!", Mira shouts. I only tilt my head over to Tomo, telling her to go help him. She clicks her tongue, but she moves over to help Tomo.

[Shin's POV]
I kneeled on one knee, for some reason, I couldn't move it at all. With a blade against my neck, I stare in shock.
'This girl.. S-she.. Beat Lily?'
I look at the corner of my eye, and saw Lily battered up, on the ground.
'Who is she?'
In the next moment, she lets go of me. I turn around and saw her with the safe I was guarding. "..Jin! The safe!", I shout. Jin, who was fighting against two others, looked my way. He sees the safe, and he round house kicks the two of them. "Sorry, but the safe is my goal", he grins as he tells the two fallen enemies. He heads to the black-haired girl who held the safe with two hands.
'She won't be able to fight with her hand filled..'
But to my surprise, she fights Jin with her feet and carries the heavy safe in one hand.

[Akane's POV]
I balance the safe on one arm, as I fought the guy, whom I heard is called 'Jin'. He comes at me with a long blade, and I dodge his slashes. I kick the blade out of his hand, and toss the safe high in the air. As the safe was out of my hands for about a couple of seconds, I hit the guy's pressure points. He falls to the ground, unable to move. I catch the safe, as it lands. "Look out!", I heard Tomo call. I turn around and see the black haired guy come at me. I only paralyzed his left leg, so we was still able to move. Tomo comes to my aid, and kicks the guy to the side. Tomo pins him down, and holds a knife against his neck. "If only we could finish them off", Mira sighs. Tomo was then pushed off, and the guy stood up. Tomo flew to the side of me, and Mira took her ready stance. "Forget him. We're basically done", I finally say something. I throw a dagger to the window, and it shatters. "Let's go", I throw the safe over to Mira. "Tch.. Fine", Mira says as she catches the safe and hops down the window. Tomo gets up, and jumps out. I begin to hop down as well, but I glanced at the black haired guy for some reason.
'Get it together..'

[Shin's POV]
I slowly get up, and stare at the shattered window. "Tch.. Any help?", I heard Lily speak. I limp over to her. "Tch.. That girl..", Lily mutters. "Tell me about it.. I can't even move", Jin says. "She hit our pressure points. That girl, even if I hate to admit it, she's strong.. She's on the same level as you, Shin, maybe even stronger", Lily sighs. "They took the safe.. Now help me up.. We need to report to principal", Jin says.

[Akane's POV]
We headed back to headmaster's. We put the safe on his desk, and he gave a pleased look. "Good.. I knew I could count on you 3. Now, get some rest. I'm pretty sure Maru's assassins will be returning", he says. "What's in there anyways? We had to retrieve it about 4 times", Tomo says. "Hm.. Maybe it's time that I told you", headmaster begins and we all collapse on the couch.

[Shin's POV]
"So you lost the safe..", principal says when we reported to his room. We slightly bow. "Interesting.. That means K's assassins are quite skilled.. I want you three to retrieve it back tomorrow. And call my secretary to repair my office", principal says. "What is in the safe that's so important? You had other teams retrieve it multiple times", Lily speaks up. "The safe.. Holds a very valuable treasure.. Let me tell you the whole story..", principal begins.
