9 Disturbances
*Haisha and Sap were standing in front of Ken's car*
Sap- Wow! So... This is Ken's car?! This is awesome!!
Haisha- Yeah... He owns a lot of money... You'll be surprised if you see his home...
Sap- I'm already surprised by this… It's hard to get a car here, right?
*Kaori comes in a hurry*
Kaori- Well... Seems like we're missing someone...
Haisha- Zach won't be coming with us...
Sap- She's talking about Tornado...
Haisha- Oh wait... I completely forgot about her...
Sap- Happens... Happens...
Haisha- Yeah... Sorry...
*Tornado and Ken walk towards them*
Ken- Oh well... I see you're still injured...
Tornado- Yeah... You're strong... Makes me wonder whether I'll be able to reach your level...
Ken- Well... You haven't seen me use my full strength yet... I can use ability zone...
Tornado- What?! Ability zone can only be used by level 9 or 10... How are you---
Ken- My control over my quirk is able to negate the fact that I am at a lower level… I believe I said that during our fight as well...
Tornado- I don't remember you saying that and why did you call it a quirk----
Kaori- Took you guys long enough... Were you enjoying this little evening stroll?
Sap- Coming from the person who just arrived...
Ken- Well... We got into some trouble… Unlike someone who actually was busy taking a stroll...
Kaori- Just get in the car...
Ken- That's what I'm supposed to say... I believe I'm the one who'll be driving...
Kaori- You win this time because of Sap... I'll be the one to win next time...
Ken- Yeah yeah... Just get in the car for now... We don't have a lot of time on our hands… And… I can feel every movement inside this school… And… I followed your movements and I know where exactly you went… So… Do not blame this victory on Sap...
Tornado- Does that have something to do with your ability zone?
Ken- Well… I wouldn't actually call it that… Just get in the car… I'll explain it properly tomorrow… Or maybe I'll actually give you a demonstration...
*They get in the car and Ken starts the car*
Haisha- I hope nothing will happen like what happened in the morning...
Ken- Ah... Don't worry nothing like that will happen... This will go smoothly...
Kaori- And why not?
Ken- Because kids are supposed to be all in their residences by now...
Sap- Wait... Do you guys have something like that here?
Ken- Something like what?
Sap- Curfew... Like... Kids aren't allowed outside their house after school hours...
Ken- Well... Something like that started recently but it's not a government-issued thing... With the constant clashes between the Vigilantes and the Abyss, people started not letting their kids get out of home after school hours… You could've found kids even two hours ago… Now all you would be able to find would be someone from the top ten clans… They send guards with their kids… They can afford that… But there is still an unknown factor at play here… No one knows who the third party is… And no one knows about their exact strength or motives… So… Even guards might not work... And let's not talk about how all lights shut off at 8...
Sap- Wait... What are the Vigilantes and the Abyss?
Ken- Well... Vigilantes are what you'd think they are... Wannabe heroes roaming around the city in the evening trying to preserve peace… These immature bastards prove to be more distressed than they are worth… Meanwhile… Abyss is the name of a group of low levels who want the government to look out for them... Low levels generally don't stand a chance against high levels and recently some rumored company developed ability boosters which made it harder for them to fend off… Most of the low levels have poor jobs… And… They are treated poorly… So… The leader of Abyss took some brave people and is slowly fighting for their proper treatment…
Sap- Wait... If the low levels use the ability boosters and gain the help of the Vigilantes won't it solve the problems?
Ken- Not many people know where to find the ability boosters from... It's practically impossible for a commoner to find it... And... The Abyss... They have done a lot of bad stuff... And... They still do... So...
Sap- Are they like a criminal organization?
Ken- Nope… The leader of Abyss… Well… He is a cunning person… You could certainly call him a criminal… But most members join Abyss because they want to be treated equally… It's more of a revolutionary army than a criminal organization...
Sap- Well… There was nothing called equality in this world ever since it was created… Anyways… Aren't there actual criminals?
Ken- There are... The most famous ones are Slitthroat and Courier Crap...
Sap- Eh? Why is one of the most famous criminals called Crap?!
Ken- That's because he has a crap attitude... He'll always complain and say a lot of stuff after he does something... He is one of the worst people to work with... There he goes!! How is his timing always perfect?!
*Ken points at a guy jumping from one roof of a building to another with large floating crates tied to him using ropes*
Sap- What is that?!
Ken- His ability lets him negate gravity for some things he touches... Those crates are probably packed with guns and ammo... Abyss using guns is another reason guns are hated this much and the people who use guns are called terrorists or traitors...
Sap- That guy seems like he could pull off a normal job!! Why does he do that?!
Ken- Well... Who knows? People have their own reasons...
Sap- True that... So... What about the third party?
Haisha- Why are we talking about these kinds of stuff??
Ken- Oh yeah... Haisha doesn't handle these stuff quite well... Hey Sap... Let's continue this sometime else...
Sap- Oh well... Anyways... Can you explain why the fire torches, or poles, whatever you may call them, are redder than normal fire?
Ken- Well... That's because it is the fire of the Hada family... Their fires stay in place for a long time... And... Those are redder than normal fire… Because it's a special fire… They are the ones in charge of illuminating this dark country...
Kaori- Just play some songs… This is getting boring… You guys can geek out about the city later...
Sap- Wait... You can play songs in this car?!
Ken- Yeah... You've never seen something like this, right?
Sap- Well... I hear recorded songs are pretty popular on the other side... Didn't think I would find some here… We used to get live performances… So… I never had to hear any recorded songs...
Ken- Well... Sadly... All I have right now is some Jazz... I'll stockpile some other kinds the next time… Maybe some electrical pop...
Sap- Well... Actually... I'm kind of a fan of Jazz and Flute... So... I'm down...
*Ken plays some Royal Jazz Music*
Tornado- Why do we not have these stuff here?
Ken- That's because once upon a time our predecessors----
*A gust of wind comes, blowing out all of the fire poles by the side of the road*
Ken- Oh well... I advised them to cover the fire with glass structures...
Sap- Are you going to stop driving or does this car have headlights?
Ken- You seem to know quite a lot... Well... Thankfully... This car does have them... But... It's not that bright...
Sap- So... You mean... Flashlights are weaker than fire?
Ken- Nope... I didn't put good-quality flashlights here because I never considered this to become a problem… The lights should come back within ten minutes… Unless the Hada family knows about this matter already...
Sap- *Puts his hand on Ken's shoulder* Happens... Happens...
Ken- Well... Looks like we might have to pause for some time...
Tornado- Do you sense them?
Ken- I don't have my shadow scattered in this region… So… I don't...
Tornado- Some level 6s... And... They are approaching this car from multiple directions...
Ken- My my... I hope they don't put a dent in the car...
Tornado- I don't think we should stay inside... Does anyone here have some kind of ability which has anything to do with light?
Ken- Well... I don't think all of us need to fight... I believe you can sense them... And... I can just fill this place with dark matter to know their positions...
Tornado- How about you take the left and I take the right?
Ken- I believe that is a good idea...
*The fire torches come back on*
Ken- Ah... Seems like I don't have to do all that now… Great… And I decided to actually make a plan and take this seriously… You know what… I am not gonna take this seriously...
*Ken gets out of the car before Tornado does*
*A guy with a gun comes in front of him but freezes in fear before shooting as Ken glares at him*
Ken- From the gun in your hand... I can say that you are a part of the upper 12...
??- That was a great deduction... But... How do you know?
Ken- Well... You see... I and your leader go way back... Even before he thought of creating Abyss... I was the individual who gave him the first prototype of the gun you're holding right now... I hear he later titled it Flying Eagle... I'd have gone for Blazing Phoenix if I were him...
??- You expect me to believe that?! You seem to be one of those journalists who are going around writing about us…
Ken- Well… It's up to you what you will believe and what you won't... I just hope Kazuto won't be sad to know that one of his subordinates dies...
