...

"Academy...? An auxiliary special department? What do you mean? Please explain!" cried Vin frantically.

Vin, who was originally very happy, suddenly slumped off the chair. Vin didn't understand what Hojo was saying. It's not that Vin isn't smart, but Vin just doesn't understand what Hojo is saying.

"It's not in this place that I explain that. We'd better get out of here and meet your sister." Hojo said, standing up and walking out of the interrogation room quickly.

Vin quickly followed Hojo behind. Vin wondered about Hojo's earlier words. About the Academy of Superhuman Forces. What is that place?

Vin vaguely felt he had heard that name. But where?

"..."

The Old Man and Vera waited anxiously for Vin outside the police station. They sat on a long wooden chair whose green paint had peeled off a lot. Especially the Old Man, who feels familiar with the figure of Hojo.

Hojo, whom he had seen years ago.

The person, who had come to him in the past, and asked about Bono, his son. But the Old Man ignored his curiosity. Seeing the fact that Vin managed to get out of the police station safely made the Old Man very moved.

Even though it was Vin who killed Bono, it was not on purpose. The Old Man will do the same if a family member is in danger. Moreover, he has super-human abilities. Like Bono, his son.

"Brother, are you all right?" Vera said, looking very happy. I hastily ran over.

How could I not? The only older brother that Vera had managed to be free from all accusations? Vin can not possibly walk free if he is not found not guilty.

Vin nodded slowly in response.

"Thank you for helping to free this child." said the Old Man, like an old man who rejoiced at the release of Vin.

Hojo laughed. He couldn't hide his weird smiley face. Neither Vin, Vera, nor the Old Man could look at him in amazement.

"Do not like that. The hero here is Vin. I only help a little according to my current job. And for you, Old Man, if only I had come earlier, maybe Bono would have been a kid you could be proud of. I should be the one apologizing, "said Hojo with all humility.

The Old Man is touched. Her sobs just came out. How could Hojo still remember himself after their brief meeting all those years ago?

Deep in his heart, there is a little regret for choosing his money and anger over caring for Bono, who at that time needed parental love. However, the Old Man also couldn't accept that Bono had accidentally killed his wife.

"Maybe this is what is called destiny. I can't say anything but thank you. Please take good care of this child. Don't let a fate like Bono happen to him." The Old Man replied haltingly.

Unknowingly, the Old Man started crying again. I don't know how many liters of tears the Old Man has spilled just for today?

"It will not happen. I can assure you that Vin will be a useful human being. The old man doesn't have to worry about these two kids anymore from now on. I will take them to the Academy." Hojo chuckled like he was talking about the weather or one of the animals in captivity suddenly ran away from the cage!

"You mean that Academy?" The Old Man was startled, his eyes bulging in reaction.

"Right. I can't believe Old Man still remembers it. " Hojo replied with a wry smile.

"Then, I can rest easy from now on."

"Of course."

"..."

"Vin, Vera, this uncle is a good person. He will take you to the best place for a bright future. You don't need to think about this old me anymore. Now go." "Let Vin and Vera go," said the Old Man, letting Vin and Vera go.

In the car, Hojo didn't say much. Even though Vin asked the same question again, Hojo only cleared his throat in response. Vin is annoyed. While Vera looked at the two people in confusion.

"..."

"Brother, please tell me what exactly happened? Where are we going? Then what about the Old Man and my school?" Vera whined, continuing to force Vin to speak.

For a long time, Vin looked down. Vin stared out the window. The trees they passed could be seen faintly through the dark windows. Vin didn't know what he was going to say to his little sister.

"Vera, be patient for a moment. Uncle Hojo will tell you everything later." Vin replied, unable to look at Vera's eyes demanding an explanation.

"Sis Vin." Vera sighed in surrender.

If Vin had said something in such a helpless tone, then it was certain that Vin was not lying. For that, Vera looked at Hojo, who continued to focus on holding the steering wheel in the front seat.

Now and then, Hojo glanced at Vera, who continued to stare at him without blinking. Then she turned to look at Vin, who was still looking down weakly. Unknowingly, a sly smile spread across Hojo's stiff face.

"Vin, what are you thinking? Shouldn't you explain something to your little sister?" Greetings, Hojo.

"Uncle, where are we going?" said Vin, asking back.

Vin slightly looked up to exchange glances with Hojo through the rearview mirror. Before finally looking down again,

"Academy. Where else can we go other than that? " Hojo couldn't help but laugh.

Only this time, Hojo saw a teenage boy who was no more than seventeen years old like Vin. Sitting still without enthusiasm while there was great power within him. Although, Hojo understood a little why Vin didn't want to show off his strength.

"What academy, Vin?" Vera urged

"I don't know either, Vera. We'd better see later. Hojo said we would be safe in that place. And you can continue to study and become a doctor. As long as that's the case, then I'll do whatever it takes. "

"Sis Vin, that's not what I want now!"

"So what?" Vin flinched at Vera's answer.

"How can you trust this person so easily?" Vera wanted to cry for her older brother, who often did stupid things.

"If Hojo had malicious intentions, we weren't allowed to talk like this in the first place. So, where is the fault in the eyes?" Vin returns a question with a question.

"It is possible that this person will turn us into slaves."

"No. At least you won't be a slave. Vera, you will become a doctor like your dream. Let me pay for it."

"Uncle Vin. You do not need to do that."

"Why?"

"Because I just want to stay with my brother Vin forever." Vera sobbed. While Hojo burst out laughing, And Vin looked at Vera, confused.
