The news that morning caused an uproar at the academy, causing them to stop learning for the safety of other students. As usual for a month now, the research room has become a place for Takaya and the others to gather.
"Everyone has gathered, let's start the discussion." Takaya lowered the large screen from the roof of the room as if to show something.
Immediately the screen displayed data on people who had been designated as ancient warriors and those who had not.
"As we know, I, Asahi, Ai, Fukushima, Azusa, Sanna and Saega, it is known that we are all inheritors of the power of ancient warriors. And 4 of them still haven't been found." Takaya explained again about the heir to the ancient warrior's power.
"To make up the rest, we only have 3 people we are still observing. Anna, and the twins Sagara and Sagiri. But the news this morning stated that Anna had disappeared."
"It is known that there are 11 reincarnations. Light, Forgotten, Distortion, Aquarea, Natura, Angelia, Verdant, Glass, Volt, Blaze, and Frostaria. There are only 6 of us, except Fukushima." Takaya explained, but confused the whole room except Ai, Fukushima and Asahi.
"Why isn't Fuku an heir, Even though he has that power, right??" Saega asked confused.
Fukushima looked at Saega, and smiled,
"I only borrowed Ai's power, using this bracelet. With this I can access Natura's power even though it is limited, I myself asked Ai to do this as a transfer of Ai's identity. "I hope you will cooperate with me in not calling Ai the true heir to power," said Fukushima.
In that way, it is clear that there are already 6 inheritors of the ancient warrior power.
Ai changed screen to the remaining 4 ancient warriors who had not been found,
""With last month's incident, Saega's missing sister is still being searched for, but today we received news of another missing person, and our task has increased to looking for 2 people who suddenly disappeared mysteriously," explained Ai.
"And it's very beneficial for us, that I have found the reason why they both disappeared. Saega's sister and Anna, both of them were kidnapped into another dimension. Take a look at this." Ai continued.
Ai's explanation shocked everyone, showing CCTV video footage of the two missing people showing similarities. It appears that they have been sucked into a black hole and disappeared instantly.
"Asahi, as you explained yesterday. Can you explain it again to us?" said Takaya.
Asahi stood in the middle of them all,
"After I saw the two recordings, I have determined who could have done it, supported by Takaya's theory, that there is only 1 ancient warrior who has the power to create black holes. And that power belongs to Verdant." Asahi explained.
"Because this case involves two people who are quite close to us, Saega or Annabelle, they are both XAG students. So the perpetrator could also be around us... And it's a shame that I suspect the Sarasaki twins."
"Why would you suspect them?" Sanna Asked.
-------
With that question, Asahi was silent for a moment, and suddenly Asagi came out of Asahi's body,
"Oops, be careful now Asahi, if you say something wrong you could be suspected too. Although not as the perpetrator. But you can't possibly reveal my whereabouts, right?"
"What do you think?" Asahi asked back with a smile.
---------
"First of all, friends, there is something I want to say before I answer Sanna's question..." Asahi looked at Takaya, Takaya gave an expression as if agreeing with Asahi to say so. Likewise with Ai and Sanna.
"Currently, in my body apart from having the power of the Forgotten, I also have two personalities that are opposite to the current me."
"Unlike me, She... has the ability to see memories that happened in the past, not only that, She also feels Verdant's presence around us."
"When I saw the recording, I was shown past memories of what happened, and Black Hole was exactly like what Verdant had done before."
"Come back to why I was suspicious of the twins, because the other me felt that their existence was similar to Verdant."
Asagi was shocked to hear Asagi's explanation, as were those who had just found out that Asahi had two personalities. Although Asahi's explanation was actually just not to reveal Asagi's whereabouts. Asahi packaged the explanation very tightly so that there were no further questions about it.
"During our fight, Saega. If weren't her, I probably wouldn't have been able to enter that dimension," Asahi continued.
"Asahi, That time when you lost control, you nearly hurt people and said that you are not as good as we know you, Is right to say that your other personality is taking over your body that time?" Fukushima interrupted Asahi explanation,
"Indeed.." Asahi with a concerned tone answered the question.
"And now you are saying your other personality also helps you during our fight with Saega, and because of that now you saying things based on your other personality tells you, and asks us to believe that?" Like a striking thunder, Fukushima's word actually hit Asahi in mind.
"How can I trust you, after many things happened to you, you even can't safely assures that your other personality won't do any thing that will bring us trouble more than-"
"That's enough, Fukushima." Takaya cuts him middle sentenced
Takaya approaches Asahi,
"Even I still not sure whether I must trust it or not, but I decided to trust her and her otherself. If not for her, I might lose the fight that day."
"Beside of that, I think there is no intention for her otherself to harm us." Takaya Said.
"If, she ever harm us, what will you do?" Fukushima Asked,
"I will stop her." without hesitation Takaya simple response to the question.
"After all, for a whole month Asahi had been training hard to master her powers. Assisted by Saega who is also very skilled at controlling his powers," Takaya added.
"And now we have Sanna, who will easily stop Asahi if she goes crazy, right Sanna??" Ai jokingly added to Takaya's words.
"I hope it doesn't have to happen... But I'm ready to help if I'm needed," Sanna answered with a smile
With the support from Takaya and the others, everyone in the room seemed to have no doubts about Asahi, with a surprised expression Asahi fell silent seeing her friends' support.
Fukushima who saw that also calmed down,
"Asahi, no. whoever you are... I hope we can work together. Don't disappoint me" Fukushima said with a smile.
That way, they finally agreed to believe what Asahi explained.
"Okay everyone, I will announce a mission. I have received permission from the principal to carry out this mission. But the city's deadline is only a week. Within this week we will return the missing people. And also, we will reveal who the mastermind is." said Takaya.
