The eerie dark knight continues as police sirens fill the air. In the alley where Yuto was, police have arrived on the scene and are examining the bodies. One officer is examining the body of the boy in the crimson jacket. Two men in black suits, one with short black hair and black eyes and the other with fluffy brown hair and bright brown eyes walk up to the officer and observe the body.
“Detectives, we got a call about a disturbance in the area and found this.”
The black haired detective takes a knee and leans in to get a closer look.
“Oh! This is Shou Jiro, he’s been considered off limits due to his connections with the underworld. His dad, Shoma Jiro, is one of the richest people on this island and supplies money to them in exchange for power and protection.”
“Who would be foolish enough to attack him?” The brown haired detective asks.
“Don’t know, but it seems we’ve got an interesting case. I get the feeling things are gonna get real complicated real soon Yamato.”
“Yeah, I have a similar feeling as well Kiria.”
An ambulance arrives on the scene and two doctors with stretchers come out and load the unconscious bodies. Kiria signals one of them to come over.
“Take Shou Jiro and make sure he doesn’t die. Notify me as soon as he wakes up, I need to talk to him and figure out what happened.”
“Yes Sir.”
The doctor puts Shou on the stretcher and takes him to the ambulance. The officer gets up off his knee and begins to walk away. Before he leaves, he turns back around to Yamato and Kiria.
"Oh detectives, I forgot to mention that the person who gave us the call mentioned two girls running into the street from this alley at the same time the noise was heard."
"More than likely tied to this event then. Any information on the girls?"
"No sir Detective Kiria. Hell the person who made the call left by the time I showed up. I'll try and look for them. If I find anything I'll ket y'all know."
The officer walks away from the scene and to the other officers in the area. Yamato takes a look at the crater where Shou’s head was. He gets on a knee and rubs his hand around the crater.
“Hmm. Kiria, this doesn’t seem to be caused by any elemental powers. I don’t see any traces at all.”
“Oh? I was thinking the culprit was an earth user due to their enhanced physical strength but upon closer look it doesn’t seem like it.”
“Yeah…I think these were caused by some sort of physical attack like a punch. Could it be super strength? No, that power is just a myth.”
“We won’t be able to tell for sure until we know more. It’s safe to say this was caused by a rare ability or as people are calling them now, a non-elemental ability. Regardless Yamato, for now the only thing we can do is wait.”

Daytime finally hits Daimon island and a sense of terrifying peace envelops the atmosphere. Even though it’s morning, police sirens can still be heard from all over the island. The island is lively as its citizens have finally come out of their homes. A massive police station with the words Daimon Island Police Department comes into view. Inside the station, a group of people in suits, three boys and two girls, are eating at what appears to be a cafeteria. The doors to the cafeteria open and Yamato walks inside.
“HEY YAMATO, YOU’RE LATE.” A beautiful brown haired girl with green eyes yells across the cafeteria.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
“Yeah Kiara, I was up late because of a call me and Kiria received. I don’t know why but I have a weird feeling about it.”
Yamato goes up to a section with plates of food on it. He grabs a plate and sits down next to a dark skinned black haired boy with black eyes.
“What do you mean by a weird feeling?” The boy asked.
“I don’t know Kai…I can’t really explain it myself. I just have a feeling that things are about to get weird. Like someone…no…something is coming.”
“A new criminal?”
“I don’t know, only time will tell.”
A blue haired boy with deep ocean-like blue eyes grabs the bread on Yamato’s plate from across the table.
“Yamato, you're probably overthinking it.”
“Uh Kenta... I kinda wanted that.”
“Yeah well I want it more.”
A white haired boy with shiny silver eyes sits on a chair polishing his sharp silver sword with a black and white handle across from the table where everyone is eating. Kiara turns and look and him in disappointment.
“Hibiki, you need to eat some food. You always sit there while we eat.”
“I don’t need to eat, I need to refine my skills. Instead of being here watching you guys eat, I should be training and refining my form. If I had a choice I wouldn’t sit here watching you chipmunks stuff your mouths.”
“Ugh…D-Did you just call me a chipmunk.”
“Relax Kiara, you know Hibiki’s always like this. Just leave him be.” Kenta tells her.
Kiara turns away from Hibiki and stuffs her face to deal with the anger. Yamato begins looking around the cafeteria in a confused manner.
“Uhh, where’s Ava?”
A short blue haired girl with deep ocean-like blue eyes emerges from behind Yamato with a depressed expression.
“Mmm…Yamato, I’ve been right here the whole time. You never even noticed me”
“Oh well uh, like I said I'm pretty tired so that's why I didn’t see you.”
“Uh huh sure.” Ava sighs as she sits down and begins eating.
“Hey Yamato, what’s it like working with senior detective Kiria?” Kiara asked.
“Well I can’t make any opinions after only two weeks. But he’s alright. He has this weird vibe around him that I can’t shake off but other than that there’s no problem.”
“Well you better impress him Yamato. You carry the title of star rookie detective. You have a lot to live up to.”
“I didn’t choose that title myself you know.”
“Regardless, you still have to exceed expectations. No, we all have to. As you all know, since the blood raid this department has been in shambles. We only have five senior detectives, Kiria Akuma who’s said to be the strongest in the department second to the captain, Kaeya Sakai who’s deductive skills rival the captains, Akira Fujimoto wielder of the sacred spear, Kikyo Tahara the battle healer, and Ayano Yano the water mistress. The six of us were chosen above all other candidates to become rookie detectives. That means there's only ten detectives to cover all of the island. We have a lot of expectations for us, we can’t just meet those expectations, we have to surpass them.”
Kenta starts clapping his hands and smiles proudly at Kiara.
“Wow Kiara, that was really good.”
Yamato’s phone starts ringing in his pocket. When he pulls his phone out to see who the caller was , Kiria’s name shows up on his phone.
“Oh it’s Kiria sorry I gotta take this.”
Yamato answers the phone and puts it up to his ear.
“Hello.”
“Yamato, I just got word that Shou Jiro has woken up. Meet me at Daimon health clinic ASAP.”
“Yes sir, I'm heading over now.”
Yamato turns around and looks at the group.
“HEY I GOTTA GO, IT’S ABOUT THAT CASE I WAS TALKING ABOUT. WE’RE GOING TO INTERVIEW A WITNESS.”
“OKAY.”
Yamato walks out of the police department and heads to his car. He puts two guns into a holster on each side of his hip. With a stern facial expression and glaring eyes he continues to head to his car.
“Time to get some answers.”
