Ibekusa

He threw it toward the girl

The silver accessory glittered even in the darkness enveloping the school It was Ange’s pendant

Machina realized what it was opened a magic circle to catch it gave it some extra momentum and directed it toward the sky The fighters were rapidly exchanging positions but Machina launched it with machine-like accuracy Jiyuuni

It flew right into Ange’s hand like a shooting star A moment later it became a divine sword wrapped in golden flames

Black Cat did not even flinch She intended to fulfill her mission even if it meant her life

You said before that you sensed something similar inside me

Ange faced her head on

I won’t deny that

You’re just watching while the children do all the fighting

I don’t really have a choice I’m a noncombatant I would probably have trouble with that demon named Lucia not to mention FeTUS I would only get in the way there

Well I won’t say anything since you did lead the evacuation of the normal students and faculty to make sure no one got hurt

Mutsuki came to because he heard that conversation between Micha and Rapha

The grass was surprisingly comfortable to lie on and his mind and body both felt completely refreshed He felt like he had caught up with the sleep he had missed and he tried to follow his jumbled memories as he sat up Waahh What is this

Oh are you awake

He screamed when he saw the school building with the top chopped off

What The schooleh How did this-oh right Black Cat Micha it’s an emergency Black Cat is Our teacher is Black Cat And she stabbed me

Yes yes Calm down It’s already over

The boy patted his stomach to see if there was a hole there and the young woman rubbed his head to calm him down

He looked around but did not see Black Cat anywhere He only saw Micha and Rapha The sky had grown dark and the clock tower up above told him quite a long time had passed

It sounds like you had a tough time of it How are you feeling I did a quick examination and didn’t see any real problem but does anything hurt or do you feel sick

Eh Eh I feel great actually

I see Lucia left when we showed up but make sure to thank him tomorrow You would have been in trouble without him

Really Um

Same for Ange I already had her go home but thank her when you get back Of course she was only doing her job but still Also

After waiting for the boy to calm down Micha looked over to the school building

You need to thank her too of course

The half-destroyed building was being restored with unbelievable speed He saw a golden circle floating in the center so Machina seemed to be fixing it

He had no memories of anything after being stabbed but

(Did they all save me All three of them worked together for me )

He let out a sigh of both relief and happiness

Rapha had been watching but

I will be leaving now since I have work to do

He gave an unreadable smile as usual and left

Now then Everyone who might get in the way has left

Micha seemed to have been waiting for this She got up grabbed Mutsuki’s hand and pulled him to his feet

His legs were a little unsteady but he still felt in great shape The hole in his stomach was gone but he could only assume he had been given some powerful nutrients when it was closed up

Micha laughed

The last remaining job is for you

The classroom had been fully repaired and Mutsuki faced the person who had tried to kill him in the exact same location as that attempt on his life

Kghghhghghh

Katsue-sensei aka Black Cat was still writhing on the floor after being defeated by Ange

She had been thoroughly beaten and Mutsuki grimaced when he saw the machines growing from her skull

They had looked like cat ears from a distance but they were quite grotesque from close up

They also worried him The mechanical ears were still making noise and doing something Each time the woman’s body would twitch and jerk around She was suffering

The Y Device is the perfect attack circuit so it does not have the concept of ‘losing’ built in It is still trying to remake her body

So she can’t move but her brain is still filled with the tension and excitement of battle Talk about a living hell

Her body will not last much longer like this I know this is selfish but

After finishing her work Machina spoke in a calm but clear voice

Fujita I have a request

Adolescent Adam 3 Chapter 7 - Lonely Crying Kitten

Schwarze Katze was born three days before the fall of the Berlin Wall

She was the product of research meant to create the ultimate soldier yet she had been born just as the country escaped conflict Exhausted from the many human experiments the researchers of the Schwarze Laboratory welcomed their very first success with a complex mixture of feelings She had several dozen times the nerves and muscle density of a normal person

She biologically qualified as human but she was clearly inhuman She ended up living a life worthy of her origins

Afraid of being questioned on ethical grounds the Schwarze Laboratory had shut down before she reached the age of one With nowhere to go she had been left with the military where she had been a target of research until the age of five The research had been officially known as an investigation the habits of cats and very few people had known she even existed

The military had taught her morals but they also never gave her a normal life no matter how old she grew The mix of conscience and calculation surrounding her then may very well have formed the basis for her current personality By the time she was seven she had become a superhuman who would do anything she was told and do it perfectly She acted as a bodyguard a spy and an assassin No one was more suited for carrying out the jobs the military and police did not want reaching the public eye It was much later than a normal person but at past nine a sense of self began to grow within her and she gradually became less useful of a tool

On a bodyguard job she would make a bloodbath out of a thug who got too close When infiltrating a drug ring she would torture the buyers for information and send every last one of the dealers to the police When given an assassination job she would slaughter everyone not just her target She had been taught morals but she had likely begun to interpret them in her own way She had settled on living the life of a black cat

For a just cause anything was permissible

She interpreted her powerful conscience through a lens of cold calculation She had become a girl made of steel

That excessive sense of justice was not what those using her wanted She was dismissed from that secret work so she joined the military as a normal person named Schwarze Katze

At the time she was only ten A full decade after her birth she was finally allowed some semblance of a human life

Every day in the military had been fun

She had spent her days training to protect her country She had gotten along with her comrades sometimes competed with them sometimes played with them and generally lived a fulfilling life It was her first time experiencing normal happiness But she was a born warrior She had eventually grown sick of only training and had found life with her comrades dull

That was when a man calling himself Doctor Strangelove had appeared to her He had once been the Board Chairman of the Schwarze Laboratory

Later that man had introduced her to someone known as Miss A

A world ging incident will eventually occur When that time comes use your power to help

Miss A’s uncommon presence had told her animalistic instincts not to defy her The cat instinctually detected an even greater master She had naturally nodded

Thus Schwarze joined FeTUS at the age of fifteen Afterwards she had enjoyed simulated battles with Springloaded remade her body each time a new combat tool was made and had waited for the inevitable world ging incident Once that time came she had moved to Japan hidden her identity and infiltrated Megutono
