Hasegawa Yuuta - Chapter 3

After sometimes training together, they both take a moment to catch their breath.

"I felt that there was something missing." Yuuta said.

"What? Food? Because I'm starving." Aoki panting.

"No, weapon." Yuuta tightened his fist.

"You eat weapon? What are you, Transformers?" Aoki laughs.

Yuuta just sighs as he sits next to Aoki.

"I'm joking, just laugh it off. About the weapon, you can get those from Yagura

sensei." Told Aoki as he takes a sip of his banana milk.

"Do you mean that I can just request any weapon from him?" Asked Yuuta.

"Of course, you can. Didn't Yagura sensei tell you anything about this?"

"He didn't tell me anything. He just told me to practise." Yuuta replied.

"I can't even rely on that old man. First of all, yes. You can request any weapon

you want, or even custom your own weapon if you feel like it." Aoki said to

him.

"I guess coming here was not a bad idea anyway." Yuuta laugh.

"Do you have any question about this place? I'll try to answer everything." Aoki

turn his gaze toward Yuuta's beaming emerald eyes.

Yuuta just stays in silence for a moment, thinking about such a suitable question to throw at

his new friend.

He wanted to ask about the voice last night.

‘Can I ask him that?’ He thought.

‘But what if it just a ghost, and I’m just hearing stuff.’ Thought him again.

After thinking for a short while, Yuuta came up with a question.

"Where was all the student? Is it only us or what?" He asked.

"Of course not, this is not somewhat an anime. There are actually around 20 students

or so from the first year. And around 80 something from second and third year.

All of them paired, so of course you don't see them hanging around school

because they went out on a mission."

"But we still didn't get our mission yet." Yuuta cuts Aoki off.

"Because before taking a mission, you need to be tested and rated based on your own

ability. That will determine which mission category you will be taking."

Aoki explains.

"If you don't mind, may I ask?" Yuuta hesitates.

"Go ahead."

"About your previous partner, how long has he been dead? Is the mission that

deadly?" He asked.

"It is deadly, but as I said. The mission will be given based on your own ability so

you don't have to worry, we can trust this one on Yagura sensei." Aoki try

to assured him.

“About how he died, he was cocky. And that’s all it takes for him to die just like that.”

He added.

Yuuta takes a look of Aoki’s glooming expression.

He felt something off.

After staying silence for a second, try to hide his hesitated facial, Yuuta drops a question.

“The weapon, I can request anything?”

“Yes of course.” Replied him.

“What is your weapon?” Yuuta asked him again.

“Bow, with my Fujin chakra as an arrow.” Aoki feeling proud of himself.

“I see.” Yuuta replied.

"About the weapon, want me to accompany you to meet Yagura sensei?"

"It's already late, let's discuss this with sensei tomorrow." He smiled

towards Aoki as getting up from the bench they were sitting.

"Now that you mention, I didn't realise that it already 20 minutes pass 8 pm."

Aoki turned to look at the watch on his wrist.

"Let's get back. I felt sore all over my body already." Yuuta said as he starts

massaging his broad, wide left shoulder with his veins pop right arm.

"Yeah, I felt the same." Aoki replied.

They both leave the training ground and walk towards their dorm.

"I'm hungry..." Yuuta steps stopped.

He heard a cracked voice ringing in his ears.

He starts to look around, searching for the source.

"Aoki, did you hear that?" He asked Aoki.

"Heard what?" Aoki asked him back his question.

"A voice, woman voice." He spoke.

"What voice? I don't hear anything. Now let's get back. I want to take a nice cold

shower to freshen myself." Aoki told him as he continues his walk.

Yuuta just nodded his head and follow Aoki along.

'Everything doesn't make sense here. I should care less.' He thought to himself.

Later that night, Yuuta getting ready to go to bed after finish eating his dinner.

After a harsh training today, his body finally felt exhausted.

He throws his muscles toned body on the bed, as he's letting out a long sighed.

He could feel all of his muscles sore and cramps.

It's been a while since he was this tired.

The full moon emitted it's light, brighten the whole room.

Yuuta finally able to close shut his eyes, resting his body.

A few minutes into the night, a sad and tearful voice break the silence.

Yuuta opened his emerald green eyes as he's adjusting to the light.

'Her voice sound broken tonight. The same as yesterday.' He thought.

Yuuta got up and walk toward the balcony outside his room.

Her voice sound clearer from there.

A soft, unstable voice seems to sooth him.

Yuuta can't get enough of that voice.

Since the last time Yuuta heard her voice, he keeps searching for more before completely

drifted in the embrace of a soft, cracked voice.

Yuuta grabs his phone and press record as he placed it beside him.

"What a beautiful voice." He murmured.

Yuuta closes his eyes, focus to the voice singing pain as the bell cricket cries.

The song she sang sounded so sorrow, as if she'd been thru everything she sang in those

song.

'What had happened to you?' Yuuta seems to can't let the question out from his head.

But his heart sunk even more when he heard she sang:

[ If someday, I was no longer a human,

would you still love me?

The truth I feared left unable to be told,

I softly pluck the final feather alone...]

And she stops, left the song hanging there, full of question.

Her voice now nowhere to be heard as if it vanishes along the misted night.

Yuuta touches his left cheeks as he can felt his tears flowing down from his eyes.

"Why did I cry?" He asked himself.

He reaches for his phone beside him, to stop the recording.

Yuuta gets in his room and try to sleep.

His mind does not listen to his command this time.

The thought of her flooding him like a river.

From her voice alone, Yuuta reminiscing how would she look like.

How would her hair look like.

What face was she makes when she cries out that song.

10 become 20, 20 soon become 30 minutes later.

Yuuta still drowning in his sea of thought.

The clock on the thick wall shows it's already 8 minutes passes 2 am.

Knowing damn too well that he cannot go to sleep like this, Yuuta gets up and turn on his

computer.

Soon after, he finds himself searching for bullets in Apex battlefield as he's trying to make

himself sleepy that way.

While he too focuses into the fictional world, Yuuta found a very nice weapon, R-301

carbine.

He thought for a second but did not take too long for him to grab his phone on the side of

his bed and search for the image of it.

Without hesitate, he sent the image of R-301 carbine to Yagura.

[Can you custom a weapon similar to this one?] He attached the image along with his

messages.

Not long after that, Yagura replied.

[A gun? Sure, it wouldn't be too hard.]

[Can you make it two?}

[Sure, one week. ;3] Yagura replied.

That one message from Yagura making him breathe in relief.

He shut down his computer and went straight to bed.

The more he relaxes himself, the sorer he felt surround his muscles toned body.

‘I should just sleep.’ He thought.
