Dark °Forces U.A. High (MHA ×Hellsing)

Strange Dream (9)

Eraserhead quietly walked in the school to speak with Nezu. Yagi was sitting at a table, playing a game on his phone. "Evening Shouta."

"Yagi..."

"So how is the night patrol, that you insist needs done when it exhausts you?"

"Went alright...I had Ms. Force go with me to test her control on her quirk. She's adequate to hopefully not get students killed."

"Nezu said you needed a sub as wouldn't be here tomorrow..."

"Something came up suddenly and need tomorrow to have enough time to deal with..." Shouta knew he was fishing about Gale and if anything happened."I need to speak to Nezu."

"Gale is in with him now."

"Nothing big going on. Nezu wants a debriefing on her performance." Yagi informed Eraserhead.

Shouta knocked and stepped in Nezu's office. Gale was sitting, turned and talking to the principal. She sensed him at the door.

"Aah, Shouta! Have a seat," Nezu politely around his office.

Eraserhead looked around but saw only Nezu's desk. Gale noticed the situation. The new teacher stood quickly and offered her chair. Shouta shook his head no.

"Principal Nezu, I'm really tired. May I go now?"

"Of course Gale! Will I see you tomorrow?"

"I really should come in. It doesn't look good me gone on the third day," Gale said, hair covering her face to hide her embarrassment.

Gale bowed to both and left quickly. Her chest felt tight as if all had been sucked out of chest. Eraserhead seemed to be everywhere. The woman tried to decide how to stay at work or head home for a few hours.  So, Gale decided to crash on a futon she had brought to her class. It had a metal frame so also served as a couch. The new teacher locked her door and turned the lights off. She laid down on her left side and Baskerville stretched out with her.

The woman stroked the hellhound for awhile and then fell asleep. A dream began right after she fell asleep. It was dark so she couldn't make out any details. Gale walked ahead not sure where she was going in the dream. Eventually she saw Japanese houses looking of older times. Gale looked at her hands, concealed in black, fingerless gloves. She felt her head and realized she had a hood and face cover.

"Fuck! I'm a ninja. Who am I supposed to kill? I don't remember a thing about this mission..."

The woman dressed in black ran to some undergrowth and tall grass to hide her movement. As she crouched down to assess the area, shadows came from her body and wriggled slightly as tendrils. Alucard's shadow ability was activated to conceal her.

Gale rose up but snagged her hand on some thorns. Her hand began to bleed. Her body armor was not working. Now She realized that was a game changer. The woman knew she had to be careful.

Gale tried to summon a breeze and couldn't. The next test was telekinesis and it didn't work either. The final test was her telepathy and it did work but was weaker, more a sixth sense deal then mind read. The woman sighed and started to make her way to the houses. She would have to rely on skills and shadow abilities. She wondered if this dream was courtesy of the Vampire King.

The next step was to actually see what she had for weapons. Gale had throwing stars, Ninjato and a Kursari gama with a sharpened blade besides the sickle. The woman started out again at a crouched run. She didn't know if there were other assassins or not she was to meet up with. Gale decided to act if she was alone.

Perhaps the attack already done and the target killed.

About a half an hour later she had reached the first house. It was quiet but guards were posted. There was one in front and one in back. Gale noted that gravel went around the house. The rocks would make a sound when stepped on no matter how stealthy. The woman frowned and studied the roofs to see if she could jump onto this one. She figured she needed to kill the master of the home.
