Akirion ran around the buildings, hiding from people who looked suspicious enough to chase him, and finally reached a spot where there were a lot of people listening to a public speech from the king.
'EVERYONE WHO GOT SUPER POWERS IS CONSIDERED A MONSTER! THOSE PEOPLE PROVED THEMSELVES TO BE DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC, SO BEWARE, HIDE FROM THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE DANGEROUS TO YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AND ALSO YOUR PROPERTY TOO,' said the humble king.
'SO, WHAT MEASURES HAVE YOU TAKEN?' An Elysian citizen spoke alone, and the king proved to be deaf. Little did he know, the whole crowd started making noise as if they were protesting.
'SO, WHAT MEASURES HAVE YOU TAKEN!' The whole crowd started repeating the same thing, like sad or embarrassing memories.
'What was he actually saying? I got super powers too, so does that mean I'm a danger to the public? That's stupid enough. How can I hurt someone? That's totally ridiculous….'
'Hey kid, where's your Mommy?' A stranger popped up in front of Akirion.
Akirion ran into the noisy public, and he stayed there. The king reversed and started to reply to the noisy ones.
'As for our search continuing, we found out that those monster-humans can't control their powers.'
'That's true, I can't even control it.' Akirion said to himself. And the king continued saying,
'So, WE THOUGHT THAT WE SHOULD ARREST THEM; IF THEY PROVE TO BE OUT OF CONTROL, WE WILL EXECUTE THEM. DISMISSED!'
'Wait, what? Kill us!?' Akirion acted surprised, and he got caught while he was undercover.
'Wait, kid, are you a monster too?' someone who overheard Akirion talking to himself asked.
'Of course not.'
'What was the meaning of 'us'?
Akirion started running away from the crowd, but his bad luck followed him around. [Can you guess what happened? Comment your answer.]
[A hint]
That person started...! Akirion ran faster than a cartoon character, but bad-luckily, the castle soldiers appeared in front of him. Lucky him, he held up his handbrake and stopped. People made a circle around him; suddenly there was smoke everywhere, and he disappeared. People screamed louder, and the soldiers found nothing in the circle.
'What? How did I do that, and how did I escape that circle? I guess coincidences happen. The only thing to do is to thank the Lord for help.'
Meanwhile,
'YOU SEE? THEY NEED TO BE KILLED, BECAUSE THEY ARE DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC.' The king said.
'YES, YES, THEY NEED TO BE KILLED!' The public did its thing. Suddenly, a poor man spoke his mind.
'THEY DID NOTHING WRONG!' Many started to stop making noise until all of them got quiet.
'Huh?' another man had a question mark.
'THEY DID NOTHING WRONG!' a poor man repeated.
'Huh? Are you nuts? Didn't you see what he did?
'Who got hurt?'
'Ahh, I—I don't know. Why are you asking me?'
'No one got hurt; he did that to save his own skin. You can't blame him.'
Everyone started saying, 'The madman is right; that small thing didn't hurt anyone.' They called him mad because he was all dirty.
The king added salt to the healing wound by saying, 'THEY NEED TO BE KILLED.'
The wound got the salt, and the crowd started their thing again.
'YES, YES, THEY NEED TO BE KILLED!'.
The unit (RPU) appeared, and they started searching for Akirion, but they failed to locate him.
'Sir, Sir?' Mika went to Mr. Haruto's office.
'Thank you for coming; give me some good news!'
'Ahh, okay. There was a man who was taken into custody by our team, he said that he found a child lying in the middle of nowhere, and that nowhere place, I guess, is where I suspected the previous hero's heir's house to be. I hope you understood that?'
'Yeah sure, the heirs who got attacked by the monsters a day or two ago.'
'Yes'
'Okay, I remembered the story. What are you trying to say? There was a survivor!?'
'Yes, sir…' Haruto's eyes were filled with happiness; his face changed from sadness to happiness, and he looked up to Mika and asked her,
'So, where's the kid?
'Bad news, alert!'
'What?'
'The Kid escaped from the wagon…'
'…and also escaped from the soldiers in front of the castle.' Haruto and Mika looked at the door and saw another soldier (or reporter) of Haruto. The 2 said, 'What?' at the same time, and the reporter continued.
'Yes, I believe it's the same kid. He got super powers; he escaped the whole crowd using smoke, and no one saw his identity.'
'Ohh, that's totally boring, great. So the kid is in the capital?'
'Yes, if he's the same kid you are talking about, he's around the Elysian city!' the reporter positively replied.
'Mika, check out the whole city, every corner and every small place that fits only the air. We need to find that kid before he gets killed by anyone, including the unit.'
'Okay, sir, but how and where are we going to raise the k…?'
'Go and find the kid; as for the other complicated things, we will think about them once we see the kid.' Haruto replied with a lot of hope into the climax of the mission.
The two reporters went outside, and Haruto started smiling fiercely, saying,
'We got you now; now we will have our weapon, we will be unstoppable, hahahaha (evil laugh).' He then heard a sound from the door. 'Who's there?' He got no response and went to the door and found no one; he only felt the wind breeze. And then he concluded by saying; 'Stupid wind,' He went back to his chair and continued his work.
Meanwhile, the runaway Akirion continued running until he saw a place with a lot of children training with swords.
'Wow,' he said, with a glimpse of happiness in his eyes.
He went to the place and saw the master of the place training his students. He bravely tried to approach the master, but suddenly, a wagon of the city (either the underground, the unit, or any soldier) He quickly hid from the wagon drivers; after they passed, he continued his bravery and went straight to the master of the place.
'Hello everyone.' Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Akirion. The master went to Akirion slowly, with a scary face. Akirion shivered as if it were wintertime. The master stopped in front of him and said,
'Who are you!?'
