Naomi walked toward the clearing where she had landed. She began dismantling the jail that she bring along. The figure of a man, Rekka, emerged from inside the jail. He was a young man in his twenty with short auburn hair. He wears an orange prisoner grab and his hand was cuffed with a strange circular device emitting a red glow.

‘Is that ‘Ability Limiter’?’ Naomi recognized the device. It was made by Esper Association to suppress an Esper from using his ability. Even so, the device could only suppress an Esper below SSS rank. The device was divided into 5 colors, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. The one that emits a blue color could only suppress C-rank Esper. The red one that was used on Rekka could suppress SS-Ranked Esper.

Rekka came out from the jail began looking around. He was confused, because of the tremors that he felt earlier and the sudden change in the environment. He noticed the figure wearing a mask standing in front of him for a while, he observing the surrounding only to understand his situation. To better understand the situation, he decided to ask the figure in front of him.

“Good evening, miss? Can you tell me what’s going on here?” He tried to sound as friendly as possible. He doesn’t know anything about the figure and her goal, and he doesn’t want to risk anything, that’s why the friendly approach was the best thing he could do.

“Homuhara Rekka was it?” The figure was asking Rekka a question instead of answering his question. She also knew Rekka’s name, meaning her goal was related to him.

“Yes, I am. So miss? Can you tell me what you need from me?” Rekka wasn’t a fool. The business that he had before jailed was the proof that he’s smart.

“I was bored.” Naomi said.

“Pardon?” Rekka was confused, he asks what she want from him and what he got as an answer was I was bored?

“I was bored. That’s why I was researching some things on the internet.” Naomi said while looking up at the starry sky.

“Haa… internet was it?” Rekka was baffled, he doesn’t expect the answer at all.

“While researching I found a video, the content was about a young man trying to defend his business and retaliate.” Hearing her word, Rekka finally understands what the figure trying to says.

“I found it… interesting. I continued my research. Then, I found something that catches my eyes more than the video.” Naomi said looking at Rekka. “I found an experiment, using the power of a young girl.” Naomi had investigated Rekka after she found him. Rekka had a little sister, her name is Homuhara Anna. She was 14 years old, about the same age as Naomi.

“The young girl with red flaming hair had her blood taken, they use her blood to make a drug. The Association had found her power to be interesting, to make her willing to cooperate with them, they give the girl a promise.” Rekka expression was changing from his relaxed expression now there was a scowl on his face.

“They promise to set her brother free if she’s following the Association order. The girl agreed, in order to free her brother, she’s forced to become a research subject.” Naomi continued. “I found the whole thing to be… amusing. The video and the experiment were connected, the goal of the Association was to capture the young man instead of taking his business.” Rekka had realized that since Naomi had talked about a young girl. But, hearing her next sentence made Rekka convinced about it.

“So Homuhara Rekka, I had a proposal for you. I will save that young girl, in exchange, you will work under me.” Her proposal sounds so appealing in Rekka’s ear. But, he must consider all factors before he gave his answer.

“What is your goal?” This time, instead of using his friendly tone, Rekka had used a serious tone.

“For now? I want to make an Organization to oppose the Esper Association.”

“And your long term goal?”

“To destroy the corruption in this world. There were many inhuman experiments carried on all around the world. From what I know, the main culprit behind the experiments was…” Naomi answered Rekka question, she paused a little before finishing her sentence, and Rekka who had realized everything from what she had said finished her sentence. “… Esper Association.”

“So! What’s your answer Homuhara Rekka!! Will you join me in this endeavor of mine?” Naomi spread her arm and inviting Rekka.

Rekka was uncertain, he wanted to save his sister but he can’t do it alone. If what the figure said was true, then the whole world isn’t safe for him. If he had attacked the Esper Association base, surely the public defender will chase them no matter where they went.

“Can you promise to protect me and my sister?” Asked Rekka, he had no choice but to cling to the last hope presented.

“I swear on my name Mugetsu, I will protect you and your sister.” Naomi said with conviction. Although Naomi doesn’t know what kind of enemies will try to stop them, she was confident in her power.

“Then please… please save my sister. I will follow you if you save my sister!” Rekka bowed his head as low as he could. He only had his sister in this world, their parents have died in an accident 2 years ago. If he had investigated it thoroughly, he will found that their parent's accidents were staged by Esper Association.

“Then let’s go!! Let’s start the second banquet tonight!! But before that, that device in your arms was annoying right? Let’s take it off!” Naomi used her Telekinesis to destroy the Ability Limiter.

Rekka, once again was surprised. The Ability Limiter on his arms can’t get destroyed by an Esper unless that said Esper was an SSS-Ranked. But, Naomi had destroyed the device. That could only mean one thing.

‘She’s an SSS-Rank Esper?!’

“Then let’s go Homuhara Rekka, our destination was Okinawa!!”

Rekka was glad, it was the correct decision to accept her offer. If she was SSS-Ranked Esper, then the chance they had to save his sister was high.

“Yes!!”

Rekka had made an Oath, if she can save his sister, then he will follow her forever. Even if their enemy was the world.
