Brother. If we’re going to do this, let us win.” Tina stared ahead and continued. “Besides, I think this is a good opportunity. Because not only can we see their power, but I can also display my strength for you, too. I want you to know what I can do.”
Tina lifted her forearms, and from her loose sleeves, three round, fist-size objects tumbled out. Right before the Bits touched the ground, they floated up gently, acting like living, conscious beings as they flew around Tina, tracing geometric patterns in the air.
Shenfield
—It was the thought-drive interface used by the neurochip buried in her brain.
“Formation Delta, and maintain autonomous trajectory Foxtrot.” Tina made a horizontal sweeping motion with her hands and the Bits started flying in triangles as they spread out and rotated above her head, which caused a stir among the spectators.Tina then pulled out a black glove from her pocket and put it on her right hand. Apparently, she only had one glove, and on her wrist, there were two small metal rings that shook at the edge of the glove.
Rentaro was curious about her equipment, but he didn’t have time to ask her about it.
Tina looked at the Katagiri siblings. “I’ll tell you my name. I am Model Owl, Tina Sprout. I have no rank because it was revoked. Please be gentle with me.”
“H-hey, what’re those weird things flying around you?” Tamaki asked.
“W-wait, what do you mean, your rank was revoked…?” Yuzuki asked fearfully. Rentaro understood her unease. She must have started to realize a little that Tina was no ordinary Initiator.
Having one’s rank revoked was a pretty severe punishment among the many punishments a civil officer could receive. People who became civil officers in the first place were generally a bloodthirsty bunch, with many would-be yakuza and people who liked violence and fighting. Therefore, having a death or two in skirmishes between civil officers was no big deal. If their licenses were taken away every time something like that happened, there would soon be no civil officers to protect Tokyo Area; so unless they committed a serious crime like injuring a civilian, the current situation was that a certain level of violence was tolerated.
The demon, Kagetane Hiruko, and his partner, whom Rentaro had faced off against before, were truly atrocious psychotic killers. In the end, their licenses were taken away, and their rank was frozen, but to put it another way, it took killing as much as they did before civil officers received such a severe punishment.
Yuzuki was probably wondering what Tina did that made her receive the punishment to have her rank revoked. And it wasn’t like Tina could say with all the spectators milling around that she was the one who attempted to assassinate the Seitenshi.
Tamaki and Yuzuki closed rank and stuck out their fists, theireyes sharply narrowed. Rentaro could understand the sudden seriousness.
They had changed their perception of Tina Sprout. The temperature of the air in the gymnasium dropped, and it was filled with intent to kill.
Rentaro crouched and took on the Tendo Martial Arts Indestructible Stance. It was one focused on defense, allowing the user to shift quickly to evade or counter. Rentaro continued looking forward as he spoke to Tina next to him. “Tina, let me tell you now—those guys won’t be beaten easily. I’ve never fought against them before, but if we let our guard down, we’ll probably be beaten in a second.”
“I know. I will take the Initiator. Big Brother, please take the Promoter.”
Feeling goose bumps, Rentaro got close to Tina, and they beckoned together, provoking the Katagiri siblings. Tina’s and Yuzuki’s eyes blazed bright red at the same time as they released their power.
“Let’s dance, boy!” At Tamaki’s words, the siblings charged them side by side. It was a straightforward attack without any underhandedness to reflect the character of the siblings—or so Rentaro thought.
