"That one?" The officer jerked a thumb over his shoulder, pointing at the rebellious youth. "Arson and usage of Esper abilities to disrupt social peace. I gave him two demerit points, a lesson for him to learn from." He walked over to the Lamborghini, watching Judgement members extract another robber. "This is quite serious. Look," He pulled out a small metal rod. He pulled at each end and revealed a transparent screen. "That guy," He pointed to the Pyrotechnist, "He is a level 2, would have problems even throwing a fireball for a sustained distance but throwing homing fireballs? That is within the level four and five's range. We have been gathering statistics that more and more Espers here are above their levels."<br/><br/>He closed the screen, storing in his pocket and walking over to a damaged vending machine. He examined the deep gash on the drink dispenser and shook his head. His wallet came out automatically as he drew out a coin and dropped it through the coin slot. "Hmmm, what should I drink?" He pressed a button and a bottle of cold lemon soda dropped out. "Seems to be working just fine, the clean-up teams would have some work to do tomorrow." With a loud fizz, he opened the bottle and took a gulp from it.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>"Damn it!" Ren moaned as he slouched through the doorway. "What is wrong with that officer?! Never seen someone prevent something bad from happening?! What the Hell!" He dropped his bags and dropped onto his unmade bed. "I'm gonna-" Then he realized that he was making an empty threat and dropped his arms. "Someone's gonna pay for this!"<br/><br/>He turned on the small television set on his TV and saw something which was bound to lighten his mood. The band Suika is returning to Tetrapolis, Ren spotted them performing various of their hits live, they were an awesome band, they could sing in German, Japanese and English. Much to Ren's dismay, their top song as of current was in German, Liebe ist Krieg, or Love is War. And if the internet was right, they would be Love is War releasing in English. He stabbed his phone repeatedly, phoning Jasper, who was a close fried and a die-hard fan of Suika. "Hey, Jasper, wanna know something? Suika is coming to town!"<br/><br/>"Uh... I already knew that. I left the tickets on the table, do not lose them, they blew a damn big hole in my wallet."<br/><br/>"Why so sad face?" Ren checked that the tickets were there before dropping back on his bed.<br/><br/>"Uh, no. I really wanted to see the evening concert. But I'm in the Horiuchi Open Piano Contest which means we have to go for the afternoon concert."<br/><br/>"Bleh... Afternoons..."<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Zenith 09989 walked silently in the busy street with his briefcase in hand. Today was the day of experiment 09989, and probably his last too. His eyes were blank, a gaze meant only for the horizon obscured within this concrete jungle. The briefcase was heavy, for it contained a weapon, forbidden for students in Tetrapolis to wield. A gun.
