My System & My Academy of Superpowers

Students started climbing down the stairs. Ryan waited for Naomi until she was ready to leave the airplane.

"Are you ready?" Ryan asked. Naomi nodded. Devon had already left but was waiting for them in a corner of the international arrivals. 

"I know, I am sure they will send someone to pick me up,"

"Hm. you sure are from a rich family huh," Ryan thought about her father. 

She had created an image in Ryan's mind of her father as someone scary looking, body, dangerous, egoistic, prideful. 

"Yeah…. Rich. I hate how the Japanese Academy treats me just because of this name, 'Mitsuda'"

"What's wrong with it? Isn't it fine?" Naomi glared at Ryan, "Sorry. I should not." Ryan looked down. 

"This was the main reason why I ran away from Japan… but now I guess I am back where I came from." Naomi grabbed Ryan's hand and pulled herself off her seat. 

Ryan turned his eyes at Naomi who was holding his hand tightly, "I might feel scared… can I hold your hand?" Naomi muttered. She thought Ryan didn't hear her but his hearing sense was strong enough to hear her. 

Ryan pulled his hand from Naomi's grip and grabbed her hand from over, "Can I hold your hand?" Ryan asked.

Naomi was surprised, the images of last night flashed in front of her eyes, her cheeks turned pink. 

"Let's go-" Ryan started walking. Naomi hummed. 

Ryan had pulled his bag on his shoulder, Naomi had her bag over her shoulder. They were yet to collect their luggage. After they left, the plane was almost empty except for two people.

"Target is on move. Following the target." Henry reported getting out of his seat. His partner followed him. 

They were keeping their distance from Ryan and walking normally without creating any suspicion. 

Around the corner, Devon spot Naomi and Ryan coming hand-in-hand. 

'Control. You are on a mission,' he affirmed himself, 'Focus on your mission.' his eyes got hot. Burning sensation of tears about to fall off any second. 

"Did you get any message from your family?" Ryan asked.

"I didn't. My father didn't call me either. I think something's up at the work,"

"Work? At this time? I mean, it is 4:30 Am right now,"

"Managing a family is not a job. It's slavery, you gotta work 24 hours a day. Be aware of enemy attacks, etc."

"Oh… right." Ryan got a light view of what Naomi was talking about. 

"H- hey, what's up?" Devon decided to approach them. 

Naomi stood completely numb, Ryan was surprised to see Devon, his heart started racing again. His hand went to his neck, the flashbacks of Brandon strangling his and Devon's horrifying face. 

"Don't talk to me, Devon. I am really pissed," Ryan was deep into his own world. His grip around Naomi's hand tightened. 

Naomi glanced at Ryan but he was spacing out with a hand on his neck. She turned back to Devon.

"I- I am really sorry. I didn't mean to leave you alone, but let's forget it, okay?"

Naomi didn't reply, "Let's go, Ryan," she started walking, dragging Ryan with her.

'Seriously? Like, seriously? Why him? Why does it have to him?' Devon thought. 

'F- fuck. I can't get that out of my mind…. I still see those horrifying vampire fangs.' Ryan's heart started beating harder.

They took their luggage, Ryan was still thinking about multiple future possibilities. He was wondering what Brandon or Devon might do to him now. 

All this thinking was scaring him even more, 'I should have not stolen those items! Why am I such a fool?!' there was no use cursing himself anymore. 

He knew it was too late and the only thing he can do now is… hide those items somewhere as Brandon was still able to sense them from Ryan.

"Students, I want your attention. We have arrived in Japan as you might already know. Some of you must be sleepy, some might be excited to explore Japan, it's alright, but not right now.

"Right now, you will be directly taken to the Tokyo Academy Of Traits. Until nine o'clock in the morning, you will have time to rest. A bus is standing in front of the airport to pick you up. Please board the bus after checking in by swapping your ID cards on a tab present in front of the bus.

"I request everybody to move along. Keep your eyes for your friends…." he continued but Ryan stopped listening in between. His heart had calmed down. 

"Come on, Ryan…" Naomi continued pulling him with her. 

Devon was walking behind them, he was not trying to hide either. He was genuinely sorry for leaving Naomi that he wanted to repent for his mistake.

They exit from the exit door, there was a huge crowd standing in front of them. Besides the crowd was a big bus waiting for students. 

"Ryan… let's check in," Devon appeared from behind. He stopped beside Ryan with a smile on his face. 

'Here it is. He wants to have a talk with me. Alright, I won't run. I will deny the fact.'

He moved in Devon's direction but felt a tug on his arm. He turned around to see Naomi standing next to him.

"Come with me, Ryan," she started, "I said I will repent for my mistake. Come on, I will drop you to the Academy,"

"Huh? What do you mean-" he realized someone from the family was here to pick up Naomi, "No. I don't think I should-'

"You are coming with me," she pulled him. Devon continued following them. Naomi didn't say anything to him. 

'Where is she taking me now?' Ryan thought.

Through the crowd, Naomi took Ryan in the parking lot. She stopped pulling him when a big black car was standing in front of them.

The door of the car opened. A foot dropped on the ground, another leg then a whole man appeared from the car. 

A smile spread over Naomi's face. She ran towards the man who came out of the car.

"Naomi-chan~" the man was excited to see Naomi. 

She jumped in the air and threw her arms around the man's neck, "Otou-san!!" he grabbed her around the waist and swung her in the air. He hugged Naomi tightly. 

'We are totally ignored..' Devon and Ryan thought.
