Chapter 5: The Forgotten First Encounter

"Again the huge building with advanced technology, with its own electricity generating solar power plant and wind turbine farm that generates tons of electricity to support the building's advanced systems.

It's one of the biggest bungalow of Japan and the most expensive one in the whole world. It includes a large area for the golf and personal aircraft. Has its own big runway and a place for helicopter landing.

It also includes a different door in the house that opens at the river for the luxury ships.

But still no one knows about this place except some trustworthy persons cause no one can cross the surrounding shield without permission."

"That house. You know that is not possible. I know that they did a nice job last night, but that doesn't mean that you allow them to stay at that house. She will never agree. Think about it again. Are you sure?", says with doubt.

" I know what I am doing. They are officially going to be the new squad members soon. You know that they are no ordinary people Jin. They are one of the best. Also, it's not like before. The portal will open soon, and we will lose her. It's different now", answers Aero.

"You are the chairman but it doesn't mean that you can take such decision. Everything belongs to her even that giant bungalow. Ask her before taking any step", warns Jin.

In a large room with sitting arrangement of expensive sofa set. Ann enters the room with a mug of coffee in her right hand. Walking like a model. She asks,"What's the update?"

She comes near with center of the room where a table is placed surrounded by sofa set on one side and a big TV screen in front of the table in distance. She touches the center of the table and a digital screen appears on the surface of the table. The pictures of the squad members appear on the TV screen.

"You were right. You have seen them before. I have important information to share,"a calm and attractive voice of Aoki,"They are in the same University as you are. They have also taken admission in elite high school. They are the new admission students in the same year as you. You…"

Ann cuts Aoki,"they are in the same section as me",Ann zooms on admission list on the digital screen," Section A. The highest rank section of uni. No one can go there with their own choice. Only toppers are selected", Ann says in shock tone, "Oh please. They don't seem like the one who are good at studies. But how have I met them before? The classes are not started yet."

"Yes you have met them. I was going to tell until you interrupted. You met them yesterday", tells Aoki.

"Yesterday?", asks Ann.

"Yes. You might have forgotten. When you were in a rush to go to Shibuya centre you bumped into someone at the mall. He was one of the squad members." answers Aoki.

"Ohh God. Don't tell me. I already remember they were all there", Ann touches her head with her left hand like she is regretting it,"So embarrassing", says Ann.

She faces up. Puts her hand on her waist.

"Thank God I don't have to go there tomorrow on first day. I might miss the orientation, but I have to go to the graveyard tomorrow", tells Ann.

"Are you scared to confront them?" Asks Aoki.

"No. I guess I am just nervous. Not because of them but because I am not good at interacting with people. When he was alive he was always there to encourage me, but now he is not", says Ann in sorrow.

She sits on couch nearby. Tears fell from her eyes.

"It's been two years but I still can't forget that day. The day when he died. When there was a clash between the demons.

The squad fought the demon king. Thousands of people died along with sorcerer's and hunters.

Association had lost its people, but squad lost its precious jewels and the association members lost their friends. He was one of them.

After that the association used there science powers to build such shield systems to give protection from the demons. Last year I was provided like other association members families with shield. Otherwise, it was so expensive, made only for the VIPs but I got it free of cost.

But it still can't fill his place in my heart", says Ann.

Aoki asks,"People celebrate that victory every 4th and praise those who gave their lives to save them but you always go to the graveyard on 3rd to praise him. Why?"

"This is because it's his birthday. I go there to wish him", answers Ann.

She cleans the tears on her face, takes a sip of coffee. She looks up and says in her heart that," I miss you all".

Association top. The large office with large transparent windows instead of walls that give a beautiful view of Tokyo from top.

Jin asks," You know that no one can enter that shield without her allowance. She made the shield with her powers. A strongest shield that no one can break. What will you do about that?"

Chairman Aero standing there turns his face towards Jin standing behind him in distance and answers,"I will take care of that. You are also a student of elite high now. I want you to study well but also keep an eye on the people near them as huge responsibility brings huge caution as well. I don't want any evil to harm them."
