Chapter 29

"Wake up, Trance!" Trance shoves the blanket off her face then emotionlessly stared at Kai who's standing in the doorway before taking her phone, "Earlier than expected. Why so sudden anyways?" She asked while Kai swiped the curtains on her window and the sunlight gleamed on her room.

"You have training today and I'll show you around," Kai announced and sit on the edge of her bed, scanning the small, unlit chandelier, "How are you by the way? I haven't seen you in two days." Trance turned her back against the light and cover her mouth as she yawned.

"You see, I found my liking with some stupid thing. Not planning to escape this helluva boring place." Kai shook his head, perceiving its sarcastic remarks. Trance stood up and look directly at the surveillance camera, "I'm sure that you got something under your sleeve." She added, silencing the male. She crossed her arms, still, got her eyes glued on the camera.

"Mr. Psychiatrist, I'm aware that you immediately proceed here just to dig in who truly we are." Trance chuckled then leaned on the wall. Instead of getting devoured by guilt, Kai slips his hands inside of his pocket and meets her cutthroat gaze.

"I found it there's no point of hiding. You're also into mind games, aren't you? How can you say that?"

"Come on, my friend. Think."

"Don't you find it strange?" Trance smiled in reply, not speaking a single word. She wandered her attention around the four walls; having a consciousness of what Kai is trying to do. Trance let everything fall into silence up to then the intercom buzzed.

"That's enough, Apollo."

"We will orient you how things go on here and where we will train you," Aphrodite explained to her before she averted her attention on her front. They're now walking in the hallway. Trance's eyes did wander around the hallway with luxurious red velvety walls, carpeted floors, and chandeliers dangling in the ceiling that were worth millions of dollars.

"Wow, the worth of destroying." She commented from out of the blue. Demeter and Kai halted from taking another step forward as if there's a heavy chain harnessed their foot. Nine laughed then fixed her eyeglasses, "It appears that Ms. Miyazaki has a grunge on expensive stuff." T

"Sort of," Trance shrugged, "This place bores me out."

"Same."

"Aren't you a member of this organization?"

"It's not an excuse. I prefer going on a suicidal mission rather than walking down the hallways." Nine yawned, "I got tons of things to finish, including my life."

"This is the training room." Demeter opened the door then went inside together with her and five agents. The room is extremely wide reach 60 meters and has a glass division so it technically has 30 meters each. The side where they now do have a boxing ring and different gym equipment and close combat weapons at the table near where the dumbbells are and the second room on the other side of the glass is a shooting range with guns.

"We will train you in this room and that includes close combat such as Wushu, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and other fighting methods. Of course, I'll be the one who'll teach you that." Demeter explained.

"Because you're a martial artist, with red hair," Kai commented earning a glare from the red-haired girl.

"Whatever you say, flower boy."

"Also we will teach you how to use shooting weapons such as different varieties of guns. I and Artemis will teach you that." Nine said while smiling then glared at Kai. "I'm not in the mood to argue with you." Kai throws his hand in the air as a sign of defeat.

"A praise won't even make less of who you are." Hera pulled Trance away from them.

"Listen here, on this job, you're going to kill without hesitation."

"Because if I don't then I'll be killed. I already knew, Ms. Catherine." The four agents in the room laughed while Hera massaged her temple because of the younger one's sudden panic but froze when she realized what Trance said. But then, five agents inside the room with her didn't expect her sudden revelation.

"Where did you hear that?"

"That? Secret."

"Miyazaki."

"So that's indeed your real name." Trance whistled, "It was just from some speculations."

"Next time, don't react easily. Even a child will figure out right away." Nine commented.

"She didn't panic at all. Hera just asked where'd Miyazaki heard that."

"Comes from you, Yue."

"Alright stop it now," Hera cleared her throat to take their attention and she succeeds in snatching it. She leaned at the table with sharp blades and pick the knife. She throws it on Nine who catches it between her fingers.

"Since today is the start of your official training. We will let you choose your weapon of course." Kai motioned Trance to come at Hera. Trance gazed at every weapon on the table but a shiny blade caught her attention. She walks towards the blade and picks it with two hands because of its weight.

"Nice chose you got, sister." Her eyes widened as she heard the familiar voice behind her. Trance dropped the blade and looked in his direction in disbelief. He's wearing the same uniform as Kai and the others: a black suit and tie. His raven hair combed properly, making him look more formal.

"Sup, man."

"Hiro, since when did you allow to go outside?" Yue pointed at him and Trance shook her head. Artemis narrowed her eyes at the raven before at Trance. "Both of you will explain later after her training." Hera picked the blade and handed it to Trance. She looked at Hiro who was clinging his arm around Kai.

"You will teach her this, sushi." Hiro's eyes widened. "Wait! Why me?!" Cath looked at him with a stoic expression making him stop and grasp the handle reluctantly.

"I don't know how to use that but I know someone who can teach her, Cath." Trance tried to wield the blade, making her almost hit the punching bag. Artemis and Sabrina looked at her with a hint of worried expression are written in their eyes as they watch her. "I'm a samurai!" Trance's laughed can be heard in the background before she swings the blade again.

"Then, who?"

"You probably won't believe me. It's Haru who can teach her not me. Because since when did I swing that kind of sword?" Hera can't help but roll her eyes in a sassy way before she pressed the special button on her watch and aimed it to the other side of the room. The gap appeared and showed the white wall on the other side. Hera, Kai, and he entered the hole, leaving the others behind. "Where are they going?" Demeter asked them but they all shrugged.

Three of them stopped in front of the white door that was made from thick and hard earth metal with special locks on the side. Hera looked at him first before she walks closer to the white door. "This is his room. The lock from the outside and inside are different. If you see here this is a scanner while inside is a pin type of lock but still, both locks need fingerprints of the authorized personnel." Hiro stared at the girl in front of him. Kai nudges his shoulder. The raven confusingly glanced at him but the brunette gives him a meaningful look. "Okay, I won't." Hiro chuckled, making Kai shake his head. Hera motioned Kai to go inside first before she stopped Hiro to go next.

"What happened?" Hiro asked her.

"Kai is your brother's doctor. Let him talk to him first."

It's been half an hour since Kai went inside the room. Both of them planning to break in but the door slammed open and it revealed Kai with hair and clothes in a messy order.

"He said, you can come it now." He said while catching his breath. Hiro and Cath eyed him suspiciously.

"Did both of you fight?" Cath asked him, making Kai startled then nod. They both step inside of the room, it's not pitch black inside anymore. Although the lights inside are fairy lights that give dim lighting it's enough for the three of them to see each other.

"Where is he?" Kai pointed to the bed but the one they were looking for is not there. Cath was alarmed as she saw the male standing behind Kai while staring at the brunette.

"Kai he's behind you." Cath immediately pulled out her gun and pointed it at Haru but Hiro holds her hand to make her put the gun down. Haru glances at both of them. His ocean eyes can be seen throughout the dim room.

"No, he'll get madder if you do that." Kai agreed. Without any choice, Cath put the gun down then sigh in defeat.

"Don't ask me why I'm here. I'm just visiting you." Haru sits down on the bed. "I'm not asking you." After hearing his deep and raspy voice, Cath has goosebumps. Kai tugged her on the other side of the room, giving the twins privacy.

"The swivel chair hurts, Haru."

"And? Do you want me to break your bones?"

"Not in front of Cath."

"Oh hell yeah, I'll do that in front of Helen." Cath looked at Kai who was trying to ignore the arguments twins.

"Who the hell is Helen?"

"The Greek yogurt standing beside your crush, motherfucker." Kai can't help but suppress his laughter although Haru delivered the words emotionlessly yet he got stunned as he realized what Haru said. Cath heave a deep sigh and turn her back at them too.

"Hey! She's not my crush!"

"I see. Now I know why your phone gallery is full of her pictures."

"Shut up emotionless freak! Go teach our sister how to use katana!" Hiro exclaimed to his younger brother who ignored him and lay down on his bed, "She already knew how."

"Wait, Kai, did I hear it right?" Hera asked the brunette beside her. "Yep, I heard it too." Hera and Kai faced them with serious expressions.

"Hiro, Headmistress Victoria is not allowing him to go outside," Kai announced. The raven faced him and give him a confident smile. "I talked to her earlier. You can handle him, Kai." Kai wanted to curse Hiro but he's being a good boy and he hates saying bad words.

Trance admired the shiny blade she was holding and run her fingers to the other side which is normal and not the sharp side.

"Oh! We forgot to introduce ourselves to you, Trance." Aphrodite laughed elegantly. Trance lifted his gaze at her. "I'm Nine."

"You look like someone." Trance eyes her narrowingly, "Do you know Hary Morgan?"

"As if you see, that creep is my close relative. But nice to finally meet you, Trance. I was wondering if you're a guitarist who also plays the flute." She offered her hand to her to shake hands and Trance accepted it, "I do play guitar and flute, Nine."

"I'm Demeter, call me D if it's hard for you to pronounce my name."

"Demeter is a cool name and it's not that hard for me to pronounce it." Trance replied, making Yue smile, and her dragon eyes that give her a fierce look disappeared.

"My name is Artemis, I'm a hunter from Amazon but as if you see, I'm an American. The girl with your brother is Hera, we're a duo."

The hole appeared on the other side of the room and four-person stepped out. One of those persons made Artemis and the rest of the agents inside the room threatened.

"Why he's here?!" Art exclaimed while drawing her bow and arrow at the male beside Kai.

"Believe it or not, he's the one who's going to be her teacher at using that word." Hera pointed the katana in Trance's grasp. Artemis eyed him before she motioned the rest to put down their weapons. Hiro smiled and seated beside Nine who's now eating gummy candies and take one from her food. Nine let him and offered him more, making Hiro take many.

"Do you want to test him, D? You can use different weapons if you want." Hiro offered and Demeter smirked before she picks those Chinese weapons that look like a long hook; the gou.

Haru take the katana away from Trance's grasp and made his way towards the boxing ring. Went inside and emotionlessly looked at Yue who's clasping her weapons hardly.

"Demeter, don't push yourself too much! Haru won't be-----easy on you." Hiro's warning seems too late for her, Haru is already standing in front of Demeter who hits her back at the post of the boxing ring while his pointing the katana on her neck. Trance stared at both of them in awe after witnessing the short yet amazing fight. Both Demeter and Trance or the others didn't see Haru move.

"Okay! Okay! That's enough!" Kai immediately went inside the ring and tugged Haru away from Demeter. Hiro handed Trance a wooden sword and one to their younger brother before he went back to where he's sitting earlier.

"Alright, both of you can start now."
