AGENT: The Agent of Mutants

16. The North Side (2)

Oh come on, it can make a noise.

At least a dagger or a knife, cake!

I tried to drop the gun by hitting it, but failed. Because there was no punch that hit him.

"Wow wahh... This agent of the weak AOM is against me? Ahaha!"

How did he know?!

NOPE. NOT HIS 'WEAK', but how could he know that I was

“You where?” Take it easy Jack, I can deal with it myself.

I kicked his crotch.

… and finally he groaned in pain.

I took the gun easily now, and then I put this gun to his head.

Sreet

I jumped in shock, and took a quick step back.

He pulled out a knife suddenly and deployed it to me. The knife tore my suit, I think it went through my shirt, too.

I didn't get to see my suit or see what I was doing right now.

I immediately pulled out my dagger and aimed at him, intending to scare him that I also had a weapon.

But I was wrong.

He threw the knife he had grasped earlier at me, I reflexively dodged it quickly.

Luckily for me, the knife stuck to the wall behind me.

Ah, if my telekinesis could work without losing my consciousness...

"What do you want now, hm?" He grinned at me.

I tried to repeat the martial moves I practiced with the first and second targets. But the difference is, my self-defense is now equipped with a gun in the right hand and a dagger in the left hand.

Ck, no change. Still don't hit it once!

But keep this in mind, I will not become weak just from fighting a proud, burly man.

He doesn't have a gun now, does he? The gun's with me now.

I aimed at him with the gun I was holding with the intention of just scaring him away, because I didn't want to kill people.

He pulled out a dagger from his pocket.

Oi! No end of weapons!

He was nimbly trying to stab me.

I quickly dodged and dropped the dagger in his hand with my dagger, as I jumped, kicked him in the face so that his balance was lost.

It's falling.

"Aargh!!" Erang.

Eh gosh?! How did his middle finger break?!

I guess when I used my dagger to drop the dagger, I accidentally slashed his poor finger…

Fortunately he was focused on his finger, so I could hit him with my elbow.

Slowly, I knew he had suffered enough from his finger.

He was lying limp but had not fainted.

All right, what am I supposed to do? In my right hand was a gun, and in my left hand was a dagger. Both of these tools if used can make people seriously injured can even kill people. But I don't have enough heart for that.

"So? Just this?" I asked who was still answered by his moans.

I decided to keep the gun and dagger in my suit pocket.

Than I use both of those things according to their function?

"Pretty good." said someone who made me look.

Jack's?

He smiled, leaning his body in the doorway of the toilet.

"Jack? You were here?"

He was silent, ignoring me. Huh, basic!

"Come, we're approaching the last target." He said then came out first.

I followed him walking from behind. I just realized that he's wearing a black headset that I believe is his earzoom replacement.

We walk towards a crowded place again, looking for the final target.

"The road is beside me."

"Don't want to."

My mentality isn't strong enough to keep looking at that shitty flat face walking beside her.

He stopped walking, then looked back. He held my hand with a slight pull so that I could walk side by side with him.

Whatever...

I jerked. Suddenly he pulled me aside until my hand was almost twisted.

Whoa!!

Oh no, those are not the words I should think about. But…

Holy jeez!!

He caught a dagger that almost kissed my face. I don't know where the dagger came from.

"He's around here" Jack said as he dropped the dagger.

He took me back in the direction he believed to be where our last target was.

Shortly afterwards, a woman in a black robe was seen. He covered his face, but I saw faintly he looked at us with a sneer.

Seeing him, Jack and I stopped.

Her clothes were too conspicuous, why did this target not attract the attention of the people?

Is it possible..is he invisible?

"I finally met you guys.” He approached. “Agent Lead and the Strongest." He spoke with emphasis in every word.

I'm slack. Didn't the target not know any information and just follow the bomb's orders right? Then why would he know?

Don't-don't...

"Yes, greetings. I'm the villain you mean, I finally met you too, Claire."

Jack pulled me straight behind his body.

"You're hiding where the chip is!?" Jack snarled at the woman.

Gee whiz…

I got scared of Jack, he could be terrible like this.

"Somewhere. You can take it if you can beat me." he said with a sneer. All that was visible from his face was his mouth, besides that it was covered in his robe and hood.

A second later, as I blinked, it was not the crowd around me anymore, but rather we were already in the rooftop of this vast school.

"So, you want to fight with us?" I asked to show myself. I took off Jack's grip that was holding me back.

Why fear the coward? Now I see, he purposely drained our energy by confronting his men earlier, so that when he showed himself now, our energy was exhausted.

Unfortunately I have not used my powers at all. So don't be happy just yet.

"Yes, just try it." Said the chip thief.

Jack took the dagger. He throws her vertically and nearly hits her, but she dodges to the left, and Jack takes the gun and shoots her to the left side, so the woman could not escape anymore.

I'm slack.

The bullet that came towards him was destroyed.

Yeah, destroyed.

As he raised his hand and opened his palm, as if signaling a 'stop', the bullet stopped and shattered by itself.

Wait a minute, it's similar to telekinesis (?) And the way the bullet shattered was just like the dagger that stabbed me yesterday.

Doesn't every mutant have different powers?

But why-but

BRUGH

"Jack!!"

I walked up to Jack who had bounced back because of telekinesis(?) that woman.

"Look at this!" The woman shook her hand, as if she was controlling

"Aargh!!" Erang Jack.

"Please stop!!"

As I thought, Jack, who was about to get up earlier, was dropped again, as if the air above him had sent him to the ground.

The woman clenched her hands slowly. I looked at Jack, Jack's face was in a lot of pain.

How dare this woman mess with him.

I stood up with great regret.

"ENOUGH!!" I screamed with mounting emotions.

"C-claire.y.an.." Jack stared at Claire in her pain.

[Author’s POV]

Claire felt what Jack was feeling right now, she was furious at the woman's treatment of him.

A moment later, her tears dripping down one after another, Claire clenched her hands together.

".. stop.." he said faintly.

Then he pitched towards the woman, but under different conditions, his iris did not turn as dark red as usual, but the red aura remained out accompanying him.

Claire made the woman soar with her telekinesis, and then she snapped her hand, so that the floating woman was now hitting the ground 10 times harder than she had done to Jack.

"Claire. hold it.." said Jack, who wanted to get up, but failed.

"I'm fully aware, really." Claire grinned without looking at Jack.
