Tranquility

"It depends." Kanaru said.

Misaki's expression was slightly saddened.

"What do you mean with 'depends'?" Misaki asked.

Kanaru shook his head. He understood that her concern wasn't recent.

"I see you want me to heal someone important to you, but I'm sorry to tell you I can't do it, It's not as easy as it looks. That ability has limits, limits that I still can't break. The most important is that I can't heal people who have suffered injuries of any kind for more than 1 year." Kanaru said.

"That's..." Misaki's voice saddened.

*Sigh*

"Huh... well, someday my ability will increase to a new level and I'll be able to help your friend at that time." Kanaru said after seeing Misaki's expression.

Misaki shook her head.

"Don't worry about it. You have more things to worry about." Misaki said with a smile. She continued speaking.

"If you need my help on something, call me, I'll do my best to help you." Misaki said.

She walked to the front door.

Kanaru looked at her back.

'That girl…' Kanaru thought.

"Someday." Kanaru said in a firm tone.

Misaki stopped.

"Yes..." Misaki said quietly.

She opened the front door and left the room.

The door closed.

"..." Kanaru was silent for a moment.

'Today was a long day too. ' He thought.

He opened a door to the room.

There was a perfectly made up bed, a small table on which was a laptop, a closet, and many books spread all over the place on the floor. Large maps of the different districts of Academy City had been pasted on the walls. Many places on those maps were marked with an X in red and others simply with an O in blue.

Kanaru picked up a blue marker from the ground and he marked an O in a District 2 building.

'The insects made of my Dark Matter found another suspicious lab. It seems that not even Amata knows all the experimentation labs in this city.' Kanaru muttered and he released the marker.

Kanaru placed his headphones, cell phone and a coin on the table.

He turned on the laptop.

He surfed the internet.

[Hikari Kanaru, the level 2 esper who defeated a level 5 esper, who is he really?...]

[The face of Kakike Teitoku, the level 5 esper who was defeated by a level 2 esper is finally known…]

[How is it possible that such a strong esper studied at such an ordinary school as Sakugawa Middle School?]

[…]

Kanaru frowned at those headlines.

'The main plan was to kill Kakine by collapsing the entire building from his hiding place, but if I had done that probably all things would have been very different for me in the future. ' He thought.

He looked at both palms of his hands.

He shook his head shortly after.

'Things are already done, I'm sure that now the dark side of the city will be more aware of me, but at this point they can do nothing to me anymore, they can only hide from me or risk watching me.' He thought.

Kanaru closed his laptop and lay down on the bed.

'Accelerator, Mental Out, Fantasy World; those are the abilities that I need to focus more on fully mastering.' He thought.

Kanaru closed his eyes.

'Previously I used the ability Recovery to not sleep for more than 2 months, I did that because I needed to do many things at the same time, but because of my bonds I now know that I am not alone and finally...'

Everything was silent.
