V 3 Ch 4

Shiro POV

Right now we are at the training ground. We teach basic things about PSI to Matsuri and as Echo has told us, she was quite talented in it. Even if we are not teaching her she would become strong on her own. We are just Hastings the process of her becoming strong.

Kuro was now Fighting her to make her use Rise consciously and control it. At first, it was just her hitting Matsuri around. But after a few minutes, she starts to use her rise and able to dodge and even fight back.

As we are about to change the training menu to train her Burst, I feel that Echo was back from wherever he went to. He was in the living room when suddenly he phases through the floor toward the basement, where the training ground was.

Shiro:" Is that a new technique?" I ask him and he nodded at me.

Echo:" Yeah, just got it a minute ago." he said with a grin on his face.

Kuro:" Echo, what the name of the ability?" she asked as she stops the training and looks at us.

Echo:" The name is Zone Diver, it makes be able to phase through everything." he told us and it was quite a useful ability.

Echo:" So, how is the training, Matsuri-san?" he asked while looking at the exhausted Matsuri.

Matsuri:" It was quite hard, but I will manage!"

Echo:" Good, since you will not survive Psyren without it."

Matsuri:" It's been on my mind for a while, why didn't you help the other drifter?" she ask confused.

Echo:" You think they will hear me out? Just think back at their reaction at that time when I told them about Psyren. Even with proves they still thought that I was lying."

Matsuri thinks back about yesterday and nodded at his word as she thinks it was reasonable.

Matsuri:" then why did you help me then?" she asked confused.

Echo:" Cause Kuro is your fans. She wants to be close to you!" 'can't say that she was a supporting character that will be much involved in the story.' Thought Echo!

Echo:" Now, go and continue your training. I'm going to train my new ability." He said and I go back to train Matsuri.

Narrator POV

Two weeks passed since then and the got called again by Nemesis Q, Echo already to Matsuri that she didn't need to prepare for anything to go there since they will bring any food for them.

When they arrived there are only three people from two weeks ago back here again. The rest must be dead in the game or tell others about Psyren and get eliminated for it. The glasses guy was one of them!

Echo:" Hmm, there are eight new people plus us five and three from two weeks ago! You three how many survive last time after we left?"

Glasses Guy:" Six of us survive back then but I don't know where the other three. You! Why didn't you tell us about the monster?" he said while pointing at Echo.

Echo:" They were dead then! It must be because they told others about this world! If I told you back there, will you believe me? You already know your and their own reaction when I told them about this world and you did not believe me! I don't have the time to babysit all of you!" he said and start to walk to the phone. The man wants to answer back but he also thinks that they will not believe him back then.

He picks the phone up and put it on his ears. After they get the destination they start to get dispersed.

Matsuri:" So, we will do it like last week?"

Echo:" Yeah, but you are the one who will fight this time! These chumps are too weak for us but good training materials for you. Go break some bones!!! Hahaha"

Matsuri heard him sweatdrop at that. but she does as he asks since she also wants to get stronger and the faster way to do that is through the real fight.

On the way, they are met with a Tavoo which look like a scorpion. Matsuri immediately engaged in a fight with it.

She uses rise to move fast then hits it with her fist that infused with a telekinetic blast. When it hit, the scorpion was blown away. But, it was back again and start to attack her with it's Stinger.

Echo:" Matsuri! If you are bored fighting it. Then destroyed the core that was in its body!" I shout at her.

Matsuri:" So, that was its weakness? I will destroy it after I was satisfied. Is that play?" she shouted back asking for permission.

Echo:" Do as you wish!" Echo said and he sits down along with the girls eating a snack.

Hundreds meter behind them, the glasses guy was following them but Echo already knows about it and let him be. He was shocked by Matsuri's power and also want to have it. He knows that she got it after meeting the boy, what he doesn't know was. As he was spying on them there is another tavoo behind him. Just a the Tavoo was about to kill him, Echo teleport to his back and kill it.

Echo:" You should watch for your surrounding in a dangerous place like this! So, what do you want by spying on us?" Echo asks after saving him. He was bored and hope by saving him there will be something interesting to pass time.

Glasses Guy:" Umm, I think I haven't introduced myself. My name is Machida Motohama, as for why I follow you. I thought my survival will be bigger if I follow you."

Echo:" I see! Suit yourself then." he was about to leave Machida try to stop him.

Machida:" Wait!! That power did you give it to her?"

Echo:" No, I just train her! Everyone breathing in the Psyren atmosphere will get it. Two weeks ago did you have a fever, nosebleed, and red eyes? It was the sign that the limiter in your brain broke, making you be able to use power like that."

Machida:" Then, can you teach me?" he asks in a hopeful tone.

Echo:" Ugh, I don't have time to train you. But, I will give you the manual for you to train."

Machida:" That's okay too! I will train it myself then. Thank you very much!" he said while Bowing at him.

Echo:" Don't mind it! Here the manual." he gives him the book and left.

When he was back, Matsuri already finishes with her fight and they were waiting for him.

Echo:" You've done? Let's leave then!" he said and they left.

When they arrived at the gate, the girls go and left first. When Echo was about to leave he got an inspiration. Instead of waiting for Usui to become a drifter, why doesn't he just go to the future and take the power from his future self who's power already more developed. He picks the phone while thinking about it.

Back in the present.

Echo:" Let's go back home! Oh Right, you don't have to come to our home Matsuri. We are going somewhere starting tomorrow. We will call you when we are back."

Matsuri:" Going somewhere? How long it will be?" she asks while frowning.

Echo:" I don't know. It can be only a day or a week. It depends on how fast I find the things I search for."

Matsuri:" I see, I will wait for your call then."

Echo:" Yeah, see you later!" I said and we left.

On the way home.

Touka:" So, where are we going?" she asks and the twins look at me.

Echo:" the future, we will catch my next target to steal ability there!"

Shiro:" I see, so who is the target and what is his ability?"

Echo:" His name is Usui and he has an ability to cancel PSI like Kuro. Later when you fight with his subordinate, don't kill them. It's a waste to let them die easily when I can take their ability for myself."

All:" Okay!!"
