Secret Police Agent

A Great Simulation

As Ren continues to stare at Claire in awe, he is almost hit by a robot bullet. But Keiko saves her by pushing Ren to a fall.

"Ouch..." Ren held his head that hit the pedestal of the room quite hard.

"I'm sorry, but that robot almost hurt you"

"Oh yeah? thank you"

The robot ran closer towards Ren and Keiko by continuing to fire its bullets repeatedly and haphazardly.

Ren and Keiko bowed their heads while crawling away from the robot.

Claire turned the robot's shot at him.

"I'm right here"

The robot turned its head and then fired its bullets repeatedly. Claire moved nimbly closer to the robot. Several bullets injured him to tear his training uniform in the arm.

"Whoever you are I won't forgive you!" Claire ran closer against the bullet with an agile gesture.

Then Claire lifts the robot's body. Throw it hard until some of his body frame is crushed.

Claire's breath roars. He is tired if he has to fight with his physique.

"Miss Claire!" Ren and Keiko approached him.

"Miss is okay?" Claire just nodded firmly.

On the other hand Shoera was attacking the robots with his shotgun. Her movements were also nimble like Claire's. Plus most of his shots will always hit the target. It could save bullets.

"Shoera!" Shoera fell because a single bullet hit her gun. Another robot was about to shoot her in the head like Claire before.

Without thinking, Claire took the shotgun lying near her, I don't know who it was. Then Claire ran a few meters.

Claire crouches down, aiming her shotgun at the robot that was about to attack Shoera.

Door... Door...!!!

The robot fell over before he could even fire a single bullet at Shoera. Shoera looked at Claire. From his eyes, it seemed that he was amazed.

Claire and Shoera shoot bullets at several robots that approach her. They are not close together but shotguns can be used over long distances.

There are a few more robots that have not been defeated. The number can be counted on the fingers. All the members of the simulation in the room surrounded the robots.

Claire pushed forward. Deciding the wrong robot cable with his sharp dagger. Another robot that was approaching him was immediately shot by Claude with his shotgun.

The remains of the robot were completely defeated by Shoera. He's good at things like this. Just like Claire.

Simulation complete. The exit is opened. Some of them are injured. Well, of course, because of the bullet. But none of the body parts of them broke up. Only heavily injured.

***

Claire was sitting on the pedestal of one of the tents in Rooftop. He was dressing his wound with a bandage. But from earlier he failed to wrap it because the dressing was not neat.

"Miss Claire" Shoera suddenly enters Claire's tent.

"Uh. sorry if I suddenly enter"

"No problem"

Shoera sits politely as a Japanese woman sitting on the floor or called Seiza. Shoera sat down near Claire.

Claire was about to ask Shoera to bandage the wound in her arm with a bandage. But he did not want to trouble others. Claire still insisted on trying to bandage her wounds constantly despite always failing.

"...Miss Claire, do I have anything to help you with?" ask Shoera politely.

"Eh... Can you wrap my wounds in this bandage?"

"Of course, I can" Shoera smiled warmly. His hand moved swiftly bandaging Claire's wound.

"It's over, lady"

"thank you. Oh yeah, you better not call me miss if not during practice or on missions"

"understand"

"You're agent number..."

"092"

"Yes that's what I mean. Your name's not Shoera's fault, is it?"

"Yes no. I mean Claire"

"What's it gonna take to come here?"

"That's. You're so great Claire"

"Oh yeah? you're also great Shoera, your shots hardly miss" Shoera shook her head a few times.

"Me?"

"Yes you can use jumping techniques, move nimble, and of course you are also good at using shotguns"

"Ah. not my usual ability. Claude's good at it"

"Master Claude is great too. You're an amazing partner"

"Don't go too far. They paired us up I think only because of the initials of the name"

"No Claire. You look like you've been worth a pair since you first joined the secret police agency"

"Oh yeah? I never thought about it any further"

"From the beginning you were great at fighting skills. I remember seeing you mow grass in seconds. The technique you used at the time was amazing"

"thank you. You're amazing too. I've learned a lot from the way you've set your target"

"It seems like it would be better for us to learn from each other's abilities"

"Yes"

"alright. We have to get down, they're waiting for us" Claire's invitation gets a nod from Shoera.

The two of them walked side by side down the top floor of the building then down to the first floor with the elevator. It is faster and saves energy than having to go down the stairs which if totaled from the top to the bottom floor can amount to hundreds.

"Claire, you've shown all the fighting techniques and true cooperation. Your simulation of your training is great" said Mr. Astra and praised Claire.

"Thank you, Mr. Astra" Claire bowed, respectfully.

Claude walked towards Claire. His footsteps were relaxed, but it was like something was wrong as he walked.

"What about your wound, Claire?"

"Do you know if I'm hurt?"

"Of course"

"Shoera helped me bandage my wounds. She's good at it" Claire turned to Shoera. Then showed her a faint smile that she rarely showed to someone.

"Nope-no. I'm not good at it. I'm just used to being able to do it well and right"

"Good habits. You can hone your skills with that"

"Thank you for the advice" Shoera bowed her body.

Claire walked over to Claude. He squatted in front of her. Then hit his leg a little hard.

"Ouch..." Claude groaning in pain.

"I thought you were hurt, too. Don't cover it up from me because it's for nothing"

"You are a smart girl. How do you know?"

"How you walk, like something's wrong. So what's the wound on your leg?"

"No, just sprained"

"Blooded huh? what if..."

cracker...

"That's it?" Claire bends Claude's leg and presses him.

"It's. kinda.. hurts"

"It's okay. Let me take you to your tent to rest"

Claire takes Claude up to the Rooftop building. Before that he also had to say goodbye to Mr. Astra and Shoera.

"You know Claire? your technique is amazing"

"Don't joke. That's just normal. I'm sure everyone can do it if they want to practice and know the technique"

"I'm serious"

"You're also great because you're the right focus for me"

"That's normal" Claire glanced sharply at Claude. He couldn't have spoken that but now Claude is the humble one.

Claire and Claude arrive at Rooftop. Claude walked by himself limping into his tent.

"Rest"

The sun emits an orange-colored light. Without feeling it was already afternoon. Soon the sun will sink. The darkness is coming soon.

Claire suddenly remembered on a piece of paper inscribed with an address that Minota had given her. He wants to solve the mystery of who he really is. But the first guess is he's part of that dark organization, the mafia.
