-Kenzo-

I made my way to Eiji while that elemental that actually gave me a disappointment of a duel made his way up.

"Killing him will simply be in the way of our goals." Eiji exalted.

"You have no right to speak to about goals, you sit ditched me for a stupid library!" I yell at the tip of his ear, but he's emotion remained ever so cold.

"I had some research to do..." Even his reply was cold, colder than ice.

"Then explain the new tuxedo that your so nonchalantly wearing!" I ask with a full demand of an answer.

"What I wear is none of your business..." This made me mad, but not at a high extent.

"I'LL END THE BOTH OF YOU!!" the elemental howled.

"Shut up..." Eiji and I uttered in unison when all of a sudden.

"Did you notice that?" Eiji questioned me while I felt goosebumps on my arms.

"It suddenly has become a lot colder..." I shiver in the cold when I noticed a figure standing behind the elemental.

"This has become quiet a mess..." Temperatures plummeted to the lower degrees when the figures started to make its way towards us.

"You three are indeed troublesome, Hitoshi Mamoru, Eiji Mikage and Kenzo Hirosaki." I drew out my sword knowing that this man is a potential assassin.

"Are you a Bounty hunter?!" asked the elemental who's name was Hitoshi apparently.

"I work for the World Union, I've been sent to track down and kill the samurai." Apparently I'm becoming famous in the market of the dead or so it seems.

"I never thought the World Union would be as cruel as to kill me for simply protecting this island!" Yelled Hitoshi at the tip of his lungs as if he owed the World Union.

"I'll send the Union my regards!" The moment he uttered those words everything froze, Hitoshi could not move since his legs were also caught in this flash of ice.

I quickly go for the attack but he immediately noticed it with his quick reflexes.

When my attack connected, my arm was frozen as if I was in the sulky Bellinor Country in Hydros.

"Not so resilient are we now, Kenzo?" As he finished his sentence, I took notice of an ice spike that formulated from the ground and ready to pierce through my body but all of a sudden.

I saw myself standing besides Eiji atop a building seeing two different elementals create a masterpiece of a show.

"Let us retreat for now..." I exclaim knowing that this is our best chance of escape.

"We can't leave him behind..." Eiji replied feeling some concern for the fire elemental that was on the losing side.

Just as Hitoshi was been transformed into an ice sculpture, his body started glitching until it disappeared from that very same spot.

I change my direction of sight towards Eiji who had the lifeless body of Hitoshi on his shoulder when all of us suddenly glitched and disappeared from the scene as we were about to be attacked by huge ice spikes.

To my simple surprise, I see myself and the latter at some train station.

"I never knew you were able to use teleportation..." I give him my regards in terms of his distinguished use of teleportation.

"I teleported us to a train station, one that leads to us directly into Venor." He implied knowing that he was a step ahead of us.

"But what are we to do about him?" (points at him).

"I believe he has no place else to go, it will be in his best interest to tag along with us."
His reply deeply sickens me and even more so with the sight of Hitoshi.

"What did you do that even the Union now runs after you?!" He asked while been seated on a bench.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out..." My reply was as plain as a bread that had no serving on it.

"Is that supposed to be sarcasm?!" I knew it, I pissed him off with my previous statement.

"I don't even know what you're even afraid of..." I end his stupid protest.

"Do you think that Union won't come after me after the stunt you pulled back in Teitras!" He continued with his little protest.

"We are still in Teitras..." Eiji enigmatically replied to Hitoshi's little protest.

"The World Union will eat us alive before we even get to Venor!" This time his words did hit hard as he had a little concern, for us that is.

"You don't need to worry yourself about that..." I finished my statement to see him change his faacial expression to a more brighter side.

"Our train has arrived..." Eiji uttered.

"Let's get on quickly!" I reply as the heavy sounds of the train can be heard loudly as it approached.

It took some time but it when it arrived, we gracefully hopped on and placed ourselves in our respective seats.

"Eiji, do you have any idea who that man might be?" I ask.

"If I'm correct, then he is the ice elemental, and he might be working for the Union under the chief organization..." He replied.

The Union, it came to my mind like a hurricane that just engulfed everything that stood in it's way. Questions clouded my mind and rain poured as if I was all alone

Just like back then...

The train started moving and I felt a huge gut feeling that made me somewhat sick, does the union just have to waste their time and effort to run after someone like me.

But maybe it's about the prestige...

They must be looking for ways to build up the economy by erasing mass murderers like myself, but will that will that justify the need?

"Don't stress yourself..." Eiji exclaimed.

"Wha..."

"Think of all of that when the time comes..."
He replied as if he was he was reading my mind.
