At 9:30PM In the city, Kojin and Ranpo were sitted on a bench while Ralfold stood behind them as he rested on the bench as well. His legs were crossed while standing, and his hands were folded as be looked up into the air "Hey, Ranpo. How do you think our students are doing on their mission?". Ranpo didn't reply immediately, he took his time before he responded ".... I don't know. And in actuality, I kinda feel nothing.", Kojin and Ralfold looked at Ranpo "Feel nothing, huh?", Kojin said. Ranpo then explained "No, don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm not scared for their safety, but in this line of work, you should always expect the worst to happen.". Ranpo looked up "In the life of we soliders and assassins, we can't be sure when we'll die, that's why we are to train constantly and improve whatever abilities and skills we have. My students train a lot, and they are determined. Kazuma, Mio and Yuji, all three of them are very strong for their age.". Ranpo continued to explain "You can say its because I'm confident in what their capable of, that's why I'm not scared.", the three men kept quiet for a moment to let Ranpo's word sink in. Kojin then added "I guess I see your point.", Ralfold then explained "Well, I see where you're coming from. If we weren't supposed to be in the city right now to protect it from external threats, I wouldn't mind following them for their mission.". Ranpo looked at Ralfold "What of you, aren't you scared for your students?", he asked Ralfold. Ralfold replied with a sigh "Yeah, yes I am scared for them. Regina and Volt are kids with incredible potential. Regina is extremely skilled while Volt is very promising, not just that, but they get along well. Those kids are strong and make sure they reach their goals, that's why as their teacher, I want to do everything in my power to protect them so they can reach whatever height they want to achieve.". Ralfold kept quiet for a moment before he spoke again "But to be honest, I'm scared for them. People can only achieve whatever they can if they're alive, and in a world that makes children fight in wars just so they can grow up to become very powerful assets for their nations, I'm scared that they might die in action one day.". Ranpo was silent, he smirked softly "I see your point.", Kojin muttered "Being scared for your students, huh? Pathetic.", Ranpo said to Kojin in response "That kind of attitude is one of the reasons you don't have students, Kojin.". Kojin was a bit pained by Ranpo's words "GAH?!", he exclaimed, Ralfold whispered to Ranpo "Let's not take it too far, we don't know if he can handle the truth well.", Ranpo sighed "Yeah, you're right.". Kojin yelled at them "I CAN HEAR YOU BOTH!". Meanwhile In the science department, scientists were everywhere operating on their computers and security devices. Scientists ran all over the place "Status Report!", one scientists asked, another responded "Everything is okay. The drones haven't picked up anything at all.", "Good.", one other scientists replied. As the satellite of the science facilities where still active, the smaller one's inside the labetory where responding as they rotated. One of the other scientists explained "If the bigger satellite from above where to pick up something, it would send a certain signal to the small one's inside our lab. The satellites are capable of picking up things from miles away, so it's going to be easy.". At the outskirts of the city, about 3 miles away, Ukina stood on a hill with her mask on. Her hair was blowing with the breeze as she watched the city of Kagahara "They've mostly likely taken measures just incase someone were to invade, meaning that straight up appearing there would be a problem. I need to infiltrate without raising suspicions. But still, I can still walk right into the city without triggering any of the alarms, but that would be more work.". Ukina raised her staff "I rather be safe than sorry.", she muttered to herself as she created a door sized portal and walked Into it. Elsewhere in the city, Monoma, Fred and Roy where wondering the city at its night time, Roy sighed as he complained with annoyance "Honestly, I hate night patrols, we're going to be up all the way to 5PM just so we can look around to find anything suspicious.". Fred explained to him with a smirk "I know it's annoying, but still, we've got to do it regardless. And plus, night patrols make people sharper and more active, don't you think?", Roy snared "Sharper my ass.". Monoma explained "Fred's right, we've got to be sharp, and plus, a mission's a mission. I dont see why you're complaining, Roy.", Roy took a lazy sigh "Ahh, whatever!". Fred turned and asked "Hey, Monoma. Where's your brother, Kairo?", Monoma replied "He went to take a different route, we should be meeting up at fron-", before he could even finish his sentence, all three of the boys felt an overwhelming pressure. Monoma, Fred and Roy were all stund, it was like as if the air grew tighter and the gravity around them was crushing them to death "What the....?", Fred barely spoke up. Roy was in pure terror "Something bad's about to happen!", he muttered to himself in fear. The satellites started to make a loud alarm in the science facilities, the alarms of the city were going off, citizens and the soldiers of the city were all thrown off with confusion and shock. While Lerion and Suzuha were patrolling, they both heared the alarms "The alarms?!", Suzuha muttered with confusion, Lerion explained "Something's wrong....!", both of them proceeded to sense a terrifying presence that weight them down. Ranpo, Ralfold and Kojin were also stunned on hearing the alarms "Hm?!", Ralfold exhaled while Kojin and Ranpo's expressions changed serious. Before they all knew it, a pressure that made gravity heavier dawned on them. Their eyes narrowed in an instant, Kojin's eyes looked like that of a beast ready to devour, Ralfold's eyes looked like he was ready to tear something apart, while Ranpo's face showed the readiness of a full fledged soldier ready to destroy his enemy "The enemy's here!", he muttered to himself. In the clear night sky filled with shining stars and the bright moon, Ukina hovered above as she looked down at the city, her hair was blowing as she held her staff. She watched as people rushed to their safety, with soliders assembling their weapons while making sure the people were safe. "Look at them, swarming around like ants! I'll be sure to blow them all to ashes.", Ukina said to herself.
