10 Abyss
??- H-How do you know the name of our leader?!
Ken- Well... I told you I knew him...
??- Wait... Let me think it through...
Ken- As much as I'd like to give you time to think it through, you might want to ask your comrades to stop... There are two level 0s in the car... I don't know what will happen if they come out and start fighting... I don't think you can take them on...
*A guy with a gigantic hammer for a hand shouts from the other side*
???- Hey!! There is a pretty cute girl here... She looks just like my ex... Can I have some fun with her after going for---
*That guy is thrown away by a gush of strong wind*
Tornado- My my... You guys are too weak to be going around thinking that you can do whatever you want...
Ken- So... What do you say? Want to experience fighting against two level 0s?
??- Is that how strong level 0s are?!
Tornado- Huh?! I wasn't even using a quarter of my full power!!
??- Wait!! Please… Let Hammerhand go… I… I need time to think this through... The boss couldn't have asked us to take out someone he knew, considering how strong you guys are...
*Sap comes out*
Sap- My my... What's taking you guys so long?! These are just a bunch of mid tiers... You don't need that much time to take care of them, do you? I'm getting really bored… Wait… How about I use my powers as well?!
Ken- Oh no! Don't do that!! You can't control your powers much... The last time you used it, you ended up killing the 17 level 7 thugs... And that level 8 who was on our team... It all happened in a split second so I couldn't do much...
??- W-What is his ability?
Ken- Oh… He can create a huge explosion... This whole place will probably explode if he uses it… He can't control it properly so a lot of people will die for no reason…
??- I… I would appreciate it if you would reconsider---
????- BOSS!! LET'S JUST KILL THEM!! I'M PRETTY SURE THAT GIRL IS RUNNING OUT OF HER MANA!! THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO BUY TIME HOPING FOR HELP TO ARRIVE!!
??- STOP!! SHUT THE FUCK DOWN!! LET ME THINK IT THROUGH!!
Ken- Damn... You guys have two of the 12 in the same team?
??- What do you mean?
Ken- The knife he's holding... It's one of the 12...
??- Wait... The dagger of danger?! Doesn't that belong to---
*The other guy tried to slice his head but he barely dodged it*
Ken- Damn you're fast... Hey... You alive...?
????- He... Passed out?
Ken- Damn... That's sad...
*A dark figure appears from the shadows*
?????- A bottle of wine a day... Keeps all evil away~
????- Isn't this area supposed to be closed off right now?! What is a drunk beggar doing here?!
Ken- Interesting...
?????- Oy... Mister!! YOU HAVE SOME WINE ON YOU OR SOMETHING?!
????- Ugh... Hey... Tall guy...
Ken- Are you trying to talk to me?
????- Yeah... You must be Ken, right? The boss wanted to kill you for some reason... But I'm actually from the Authorities... We could use the help of some strong people---
?????- Oy... Give me some wine if you have some!!*Hugs the guy but gets shrugged off*
????- UGH!! WHO LET THIS BITCH IN?!*Tries to take out his knife only to see that it's not there* WHAT?!
?????- This dagger is so shiny... I bet it would sell for a lot...
????- YOU DARE TO STEAL THIS DAGGER?! IT'S MY FIRST PRIZE!!
?????- Which you gained from killing my subordinate?
????- Who---
?????- Hey... Which hand do you use this knife with?
????- WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU?!
?????- My my... Seems like I have no other choice...*cuts both of his hands within a second*
Ken- You know... You could've just come in normally instead of dressing like a beggar...
?????- This guy is too dull... His reflexes are dull as well... I wonder why the Authorities thought of sending him instead of someone capable...
Ken- As always... They have underestimated you...
????- YOU CAN'T BE---
?????- YEAH!! I AM THE PERSON YOU THINK I AM!!
Ken- Ugh... Kazuto... Don't scream like that... It hurts my ears...
Kazuto- I'm sorry... I was using an ability I recently got... It messes with a person's brain and scares and confuses them at the same time...
Ken- He is suffering a lot... Why don't you end him?
Kazuto- Well... *Kills him* So... What are you doing here, fighting my men?
Ken- I wasn't the one to start it all...
Kazuto- Well... I believe I have the one who started it all... I just need you to confirm it...
*A giant shadow hand emerges with Hada in it*
Ken- Yeah... He's most probably the one who is behind it all...
Kazuto- So... What do you say? Wanna gang up on this guy? Who tried to make us fight??
Hada- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU BOTH KNEW EACH OTHER!! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THE JOB THEN GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!!
Ken- What makes you think you can ask for your money back? Well... Kazuto... I'll just leave him to---
??- LEADER!! WHY DID YOU COME HERE?!
Ken- Well look who's awake...
Kazuto- Well... I don't know... I just had this feeling that some of my precious comrades might be put in danger... Well... I am kind of happy that even though you were facing off against people with such strong abilities, you didn't call them back... Keep up the spirit... Well... This situation was an unseen accident… It would've been better if they hadn't taken this job… But… You see… Securing a good connection with the ten clans is necessary… But... If I weren't here... You all would've been dead by now... So... We need some kind of communication system… To prevent something like this from happening again… I don't want my precious comrades to die...
Ken- Well... How about you get straight to the point…? You want to use phones, don't you?
Kazuto- My my... You were fast to pick up on that… So... What do you say... Kazuto... Wanna join forces?
Ken- Well... Who knows? I don't think I can create a communication system out of nowhere...
Kazuto- Do you think I don't know about the Yamada Forces?
Ken- Oh... I should've expected that from you... You see... The Yamada Forces are the only ones right now who have a communication system... But... Its range is limited... How about we join hands... You help me increase the range to the whole country... And... I'll help you by providing you with phones...
Kazuto- Why me?
Ken- Well... You have multiple helping hands... My forces aren't that big...
Kazuto- Let's see... I think I'm pretty compelled with the offer... I'd like to have your assistance...
Ken- Well... Glad to have your assistance too... And... By the way... You should try to make him stop crying...
Kazuto- What?
*Kazuto looks back and sees the man crying on the floor*
Kazuto- Why are you crying?!
??- Leader!! You... You are always thinking about us... You came all the way here just because you felt that we might be in trouble... I was always doubtful about you somewhere deep in my heart... But now I know that you are the best person to lead us!!
Kazuto- My my... You flatter me... Get up now... We've got a long way to go... Well... My friends... I must take my leave... Men!! Gather up!! And... By the way... Kazuto... I believe we should meet up again... Tomorrow... At 6 in the morning...
Ken- At our old place?
Kazuto- At our old place...
Ken- Okay...
Sap- By the way... What is going to happen to Hada?
Kazuto- My my... I forgot about this little pest... How about we let hammerhand scare him a bit? Speaking of which... Where is hammerhead?
Sap- Oh... He's getting destroyed by Tornado...
Kazuto- Who is this guy by the way?
Ken- Just someone interesting...
??- Boss... I found this in his corpse*Hands him a pill*
Hada- Wait... Isn't that an ability booster?! How do you guys have that?!
Kazuto- Hmm... Interesting... Well... What shall we do with this guy? He might have some information as to why the authorities are infiltrating my ranks... And some information about ability boosters as well...
Ken- Well... I would rather not waste my time on him... So... Bye... I guess... Just tell me what you find out afterwards... Guys... Get in the car... And fasten your seat belts... We are going to drive at a faster speed...
Tornado- What are seat belts?
Sap- Oh... Well... I'll help you...
*They all get inside the car and start going*
Sap- Who was that?
Ken- That guy... With the same name as mine... Is the one who controls more than 20% of the population of the country and kind of controls most of the political affairs of this country from the shadows... He is the leader of Abyss...
Sap- Ah... You seem to be a part of a lot of shady stuff... Like the Yamada Forces... That just sounds like---
Ken- It's a ripoff of the actual Forces of the Yamada clan... I created it after getting out of the Yamada clan... It's kind of my own personal force... All the 10 leading clans have them... So... I made it as a protection from them...
Haisha- Not many people know it... But... Ken senpai is actually the son of the leader of the Yamada clan... One of the 10 leading clans of this country...
Sap- So... You live alone? Or do you live with the Yamada Forces?
Ken- Nope... I have a dog and a cat at my home… The Yamada Forces stay close to me… But not that close to me…
Sap- Well... I was trying to find somewhere to live... Can I move to your place?
Ken- You said you know a lot about science, didn't you? Do you have any knowledge about the project---
Sap- Yeah… Provide me with a place to stay and I'll make sure that the towers are built at proper distances in a proper way... I'll handle all the maths...
Ken- My my… You don't hold back, do you? Welcome abroad... We may need your help...
Sap- Thanks... I'll be glad to... By the way... Can I bring my brother here too?
Ken- Umm... Oh well... You can... How old is he?
Sap- We're twins...
Ken- Oh... It's okay then... He is old enough to handle staying there… You see… It takes some mental power to stay at my place...
