Looks like me and KZ are racing to see who can complete chapters faster. =P

[Tuesday -- September xx -- 2002]
Kaze woke up and quickly changed into another new outfit that looked exactly like the old one, except a little less torn up. He then sighed, as he looked at everyone still asleep, even Kali, and then looked at his short sword that was laying on the ground behind his backpack, which still had that mysterious book in it.
It's hard to believe yesterday actually happened... But the cut on my arm, and the weapon laying in front of me is confirmation that it did. Kaze thought with a frown. He then closed his eyes, and grabbed his Shortsword to put it on again, hoping this time he didn't accidentally cut his shirt, and put his PDH in his pocket. After he was done getting ready, the other 3 woke up and got ready. While Sakeo and Kaze were waiting for the girls, Kaze thought of something.
"We've got to see Kazuki about the room, right?" Kaze asked, and Sakeo nodded.
"Yeah... Oh, don't tell me you want to go in there again..." Sakeo said, taking a guess as to why Kaze brought it up.
"Yes. I want to know what they're hiding... How Kazuki knows these Chaos Hunters... And why it was us who were chosen." Kaze said, and Sakeo sighed.
"Fine. But only if this doesn't end in more bandages for any of us." Sakeo said, and Kaze nodded, picking up a green jacket to hide the shortsword, since he didn't trust under his normal shirt.
After everyone was ready, they left the room, and Kaze walked down the stairs, his makeshift bandage still on. Kaze hadn't even noticed that his wound had healed a little bit already. In fact, he had kinda gotten used to it, even if right now he couldn't see it. Sonia was wearing it too, but had noticed that the pain had gone down a bit, but wasn't about to lift her makeshift bandage up to see if it was healed or not. Kaze had a plan for his bandage once his wound had healed, however, and was gonna wear it on his leg, but planned to leave it on his arm until it was at least close to being healed. The group arrived at the doors finally at around 7:15. Kaze nodded to the others, and opened the doors, and walked inside. The four students quickly made their way to the second floor, and looked around, and walked up to the now infamous wall.
"Someone has to be a guard this time." Kaze said, and Sonia raised her right hand, and Kaze nodded.
"Let's do this." Kaze said, as he kicked the wall and opened the doorway.
Sakeo, Kaze, and Kali ran into the room, and quickly looked around. The room had mostly been emptied, though the scorch marks where the book was was still there, and the broken light bulb as well.
"Well it seems you definitely weren't making it up..." Kali said, walking around to look at what was left.
"It's strange though... It wasn't this empty the last time we were here. I think they took anything away that could have been bad for them after we got in here last time..." Kaze said, as he frowned and looked around still. He did start to get a suspicious feeling about all this however, but didn't know why. He did find a laptop, and opened it to find a bunch of weird text, and ran it through a bunch of translators and such. He read what it said out to the others, and everyone frowned at what it said.
"'Team One -- Your mission is to infiltrate the school and find potential recruits, along with keeping an eye on people who, while we don't have the names of as they've been encrypted by that meddling principal, have a certain... potential. You must observe those certain people, as the research provided may give us insight into them. Do not harm any of them though.' It seems to be all that was there." Kaze read out, as he thought for a second.
"That would answer the question of 'why' it was us in a way..." Kaze said, as the others nodded, and started to look around the room again.
"Let's take the laptop with us anyway." Sakeo said, and Kaze nodded and put it in his backpack after disconnecting it.
The mysterious Chaos Hunter that usually accompanied Hartei walked around the Terakou School while he thought.
Zartys... I heard that something happened to him somehow. It's time to use the leadership power the Leader gave to me, Neo Armano, to lead this group in times of need to advance the plan. With any luck that... tool... should have picked up the others if they ventured back into our room like I figure they will... It's time to get Hartei. The Chaos Hunter named Neo then smirked, and continued to walk along the hallway, heading toward where his current partner, Hartei, was stationed now.
Kaze had looked around the room for a little bit then, but hadn't found much more, until he saw a weird sort of glimmer. Kaze then looked confused, as he looked around for the source, finding it with a cover that was hiding a camera.
"... Oh, that can't be good." Kaze said and frowned, as he pulled it out of it's hiding place in the wall, and placed it on the ground. Kaze then slashed everything but the tape, and then picked it up, and took the tape out, as he heard footsteps, and Sonia ran into the room, a look that didn't seem to be concern on her face. Kaze walked out, and tackled the person who was approaching to the ground.
"... Get off me!" The guy said, as Kaze raised an eyebrow, and got up to see the food fighter.
"What are you doing here?" Kaze asked, as the food fighter looked at Kaze.
"I was just gonna ask you that same thing." The food fighter said, as Kaze frowned.
"Looking at something. We have to go to Kazuki's office." Kaze said, and the food fighter froze.
"... Kazuki? The principal? No, that wouldn't be a good idea." The food fighter said, shaking his head, as Sonia walked out, and placed her hand on the food fighter's shoulder.
"Please; don't argue. We need to do this." Sonia said and looked into the food fighter's eyes, as he looked annoyed for a few seconds and then looked away.
"Fine... But I won't like it."
