The Master's office...
Katrina folded her arms as she stared at the old man. "Why did you call me up here?" She questioned raising an eyebrow curiously as the old man eyed her up and down. She folded her arms slightly as she inched back away from the old man's perverted gaze as her eyes narrowed.
"Why did you pass those kids?" Master Storm questioned curiously as he raised an eyebrow as he forced himself to look up and not down at the gorgeous woman's bountiful... Spirit. Let's go with spirit. In front of him. "Don't get me wrong. I am glad that Squad six has finally felt the need for some new Recruits but you have never taken anyone on? Even those who have passed your test? And these students... I'd hardly say any of them are qualified to be Enforcers?"
"That's precisely why I took them on," Katrina stated seriously. "In my four years as a Captain, I have seen many powerful and intelligent recruits all of whom would make great Enforcers... And I denied all of them, because I knew they would only end up worse off if they joined my squad... But those kids... Those five kids... They are arrogant, petty, selfish, idiotic, some cases downright useless... The only thing they have going for them is they are strong, and brave. Four of them lack, a fighting style, I'm convinced one of them is a crossdresser, and the only one who had any sort of potential was that Otoko but he seemingly has no talent right now. He's someone who has somehow not progressed at all in the sixteen years he was alive, and seems like a massive idiot..."
"So you took them in because you felt like none of them deserved to be Enforcers..." Master Storm said slowly as he blinked slightly. "This feels like a bet Ward would make..." He questioned curiously.
"I took them in all for that reason but also I do see potential in all of them, even if it is only a tiny fraction of it... Otoko seemingly has the most but wasted it in every way, that girl Ken has a really powerful Attribute but has no idea how to use that sword she carries around, Glacious throws out massive attacks but hesitates so often they can barely do anything, that blind boy at least knows how to fight, but he's blind, and Nine is a typical asshole Noble." Katrina stated. "If I can mold each of them into an Enforcer than I would have taken the least qualified people and made them qualified. Stark can eat his heart out..."
Master Storm let out a bit of a sigh as he nodded his head. "I... I see..." He said. "Is that the only reason?"
"Of course not."
"Oh good, there's more." The old man said sarcastically.
"Their eyes," Katrina said simply. "I've seen that look in all of their eyes..." Katrina said nodding her head. "Every single one of those kids, baring Cloud, has seen some things in their lives... Even that asshole Noble boy!" The girl's smile faded though as she crossed her arms. "Anyways. It really doesn't matter too much. I got squad members. I put Jackson in charge of them too. Now. Why exactly did you ask me up here? I doubt it was to simply talk about my recruitment choices, as stange as they may seem?" She questioned.
Master Storm let out a heavy sigh as his electric blue eyes shined slightly. "Right well... I have a mission for you..." The man said reaching into a drawer. "Two missions in fact. That boy... Hero Otoko was seemingly attacked by a group... A group we have heard of a few years ago?" He slowly pulled out a very fancy ruby ring as he slid it across the table and over to Katrina. "You have two missions. The first mission is to protect this ring. The second is, I will be stationing you down in Dandelion, for a solo mission... I want you to gather information while you are there. Also you need to keep that ring out of the hands of the group..."
"I see..." Katrina said picking the ruby ring up slowly. She let out a gasp when she felt how warm it was. "But beg my pardon, sir? Wouldn't it be a better idea to keep this ring locked tight somewhere? You know instead of on my finger?" She questioned.
"Yes, that would be the smart thing to do." Master Storm stated nodding his head.
"...But that's not what you're going to do is it..." Katrina said with a deadpan expression.
"Nope! From now on it's your responsibility. Oh, by the way, don't let the enemies get their hands on that ring it could quite literally result in the end of the world."
"What!?"
"Anyways I gotta go now-"
"Now hold on! You can't just-"
'Crash!'
Katrina stared slacked jawed when Master Storm quite literally threw himself out the window. "Remember! Protect the ring!" He yelled out as he fell down the tower...
Katrina stood there for a few moments in shock before she let out a heavy sigh and slipped the ring on her finger. "What the hell is wrong with every Enforcer..."
Meanwhile...
In the squad six tower, there was a simple room with five beds. In this room Hero, Ken, Kitsune, Cloud, and Irene all slept soundly. None of them said a word as they all laid down breathing deeply...
Then...
"Alright, guys!" Jackson announced kicking the door down as he exploded into the room. "Wake up you assholes! It's time to begin your Enforcer duties!" He yelled out with a large air horn blaring out. "Wakey, wakey!"
All five recruits freaked out as they all jumped up startled. Hero let out a yell as his back hit the window and it shattered. "Why!" The boy screamed out as he tumbled out the window falling out of the tower.
'Smash!'
The sound of a body hitting the floor echoed out up to the second story floor.
Everyone stood there in silence as they all stared at the window...
"Uh... Whoops..." Jackson said letting out a laugh... "My bad..."
One hour later...
All the recruits sat in the mess hall, all of them fully dressed, and showered now. Jackson's eye twitched slightly as he stared at all five of the recruits. "It took you guys an hour to get ready?" He questioned as he stared at them with a deadpan stare.
"It's not our fault..." Ken said letting out a huff as she crossed her arms. "We had to go get Hero, then Hero, Kitsune, and Cloud spent forever showering, and for some reason, North refused to join them, so then I had to wait on him to finish before I finally got the chance to shower, and by then all the hot water was used up... God, I hate it here, already..."
"Why didn't you guys all just shower together-"
Hero spat out his drink as he broke into a coughing fit. "Umm... Mr. Storm you know Ken's a girl, right?" Hero said still gasping for air. "I mean it was awkward enough to shower with Cloud, and Kitsune. Luckily Clouds blind and Kitsune and me made a bro code pact before we got in so it was all good there..."
"Yeah..." Ken said sliding away from the man. "I'm not showering with them..." Ken stated.
"Well, why not?" Jackson asked in confusion. "Me and Katrina shower together all the time-"
Hero once again spat out his drink.
"Jackson..." A loud voice announced in a panic. The group turned finding Dawson was suddenly here as he quickly ran over to the man grabbing him by the shoulder. "Look Katrina really wouldn't like you telling these kids what you guys do in your alone time..." The man hissed slightly. "You and Katrina have the most abnormal friendship... Believe it or not, it isn't normal for guys, and girls to shower together..."
"Oh... I think I get it." Jackson said nodding. "They're shy..."
Dawson let out a sigh as he rolled his yellow eyes. "Yes, Jackson. They're shy..." The man said. "Oh. By the way. I won't be here for a few weeks... Katrina, and I are both being sent on separate missions by orders of Master Storm... You'll be the only Squad Six member at the base so it's up to you to show these recruits the ropes. You. Just you... It is up to you alone to train these recruits..." Dawson said turning slightly. "Oh. And Katrina specifically said not to let them do D-Class missions or above!" He stated as he turned and began to walk off.
"Don't worry!" Jackson said giving a salute. "They won't do anything over the top on my watch..." He announced. "And if they do, do something crazy and over the top, you can bet I will be there doing even crazier things..."
"Right..." Dawson said skeptically. He reached into his pocket pulling out a small metallic square. "Hey, kid." He said suddenly throwing it towards Hero. "Catch." He stated.
Hero reached out catching the metal box as he looked down on it in confusion. "What's this?"
"Just an insurance," Dawson stated shrugging. "If you are ever in danger and for whatever reason, you don't think Jackson will be able to come save you guys pull out that box and hit the button," Dawson stated as he began to slowly leave. "Oh... And be careful not to accidentally use it. I don't know how pissed she will be if you wake her up on accident." He stated as he walked off before Hero could ask him what he meant.
"Alright!" Jackson announced happily as he clapped his hands together. "I hope you guys are ready! Because its time you guys get to do your first mission!" Jackson announced out.
"Alright!" Ken said happily as she stood up with stars in her eyes. "What's it gonna be?" The young girl asked excitedly. "Hunting a Bestia Macht? Fighting an Angel? Defeating an evil organization? Stopping a city from being destroyed? Aliens? Come on what's it gonna be?"
One hour later...
"Community service..." Ken said as her eye twitched slightly. "Our first big mission is to do community service." She said again...
"Yep!" Jackson announced as he stood on a massive pile of trash, with crossed arms. Currently, they were outside by the frozen ocean where piles, upon piles of trash could be seen. "Being an Enforcer isn't just about fighting monsters. It's also about going and doing good in little ways... Also we beat up monsters..." He stated.
Kitsune also had a bit of an eye twitch. "You want us to pick up trash..." He said slowly.
"Uh-huh!"
"God damn it..." Irene said slowly as she let out a sigh. "Okay. Well, we can probably do this quickly if we just destroy the trash..." She said as she raised her hand up.
"No!" Jackson announced causing the girl to jump back slightly. "No Attributes! All of you have to do this by hand!"
"But why?" Hero asked.
"Cause I said so!" Jackson announced. "Now get to work!" He stated snapping his fingers.
Cloud let out a sigh as he walked up. "Well, guys. Let's get this over with." He stated. "If we all five get to work now we should be done in a few hours..."
A few hours later.
"Oh God, we're not even halfway done!" Hero yelled out.
"Well if you guys actually worked maybe you would be done by now!" Jackson yelled out. The man still stood on a massive pile of trash as the teens picked it up throwing the trash into large buckets. "Just work for a few more hours and maybe you guys can take a break," Jackson said shrugging slightly.
Ken let out a sigh as she grabbed a chunk of trash throwing it in the bucket. "This sucks..." She sighed out. "When I joined the Enforcers I thought they would be a lot more-"
"More over the top?" Jackson questioned smirking slightly.
"Yeah..." The short girl said sighing again.
"Relax." Hero stated. "You have to start small before you start big."
"I know but-"
'Splat!' A bottle of soda flew through the air landing on Ken's head soaking the poor girl. Ken stood there with wide eyes as sticky soda dripped off of her.
Everyone turned to see a random citizen walking away nonchalantly. "Hey!" Ken yelled out in anger as she raised her fist up in pure anger. "You asshole! Look at what you did?" She shouted out.
The man turned slightly as he raised an eyebrow. "So?" He questioned.
"So! You threw a bottle of soda at me you prick!"
"I was aiming for the pile of trash." He said shrugging.
"Why didn't you just throw it away then!" Ken yelled out.
"Because you guys are cleaning? I figured you could handle it?"
"You're a very rude man..." Hero stated slowly.

"You shouldn't throw trash at people." Kitsune hissed slightly.
"Apologize," Cloud announced raising his staff.
"You guys are Enforcers, right? Well, that makes you the public's servents, so you got to do what we want." The random citizen stated shrugging.
"That... That isn't how that works..." Jackson said shaking his head. "I know your type... You're the type of people who have never been out of the cities and have no idea what it's like out there... You think that we Enforcers are pointless right..."
"Of course I do." The man said shrugging. "I mean do Bestia Macht even exist? I've never seen one? You guys are just assholes who we pay to keep around for no reason."
"Well guess what asshole!" Ken stated pulling her sheathed sword out as she pointed it at the man. "I'm gonna kick-"
"Ken!" Jackson said letting out a sigh. "Don't. Some battles just aren't worth fighting. This man is an asshole, not a villain." He said simply.
"But-"
"I know," Jackson said nodding. "He deserves it but as Enforcers, we are sworn to protect the lives of other humans to the best of our abilities." He said as he crossed his arms. "Even pricks..."
"Hear that girl?" The man said smirking slightly. "You can't touch me." He said smirking.
Ken grumbled slightly as Hero reached out patting the girl on the shoulder. "It's okay Ken. Jackson is right. It just isn't worth it. This guy is just a big old jerk."
"You're right..." Ken hissed slightly as she turned away in anger.
The man let out a laugh as he turned walking off. "Well since you guys are picking up trash anyways..." He stated chucking a second bottle of soda over his shoulder.
Ken watched as the soda soared through the air then. 'Splat!'
Hero's eyes twitched slightly as he stepped in front of the girl allowing the bottle of soda to hit him. "Okay... Now it's worth it!" Ken said going to step past Hero.
Hero reached out grabbing the girl's shoulder. He simply shook his head. "It's fine. It's just soda." Hero stated calmly. "No need to get so worked up? A simple shower will fix it for both of us..."
"Speaking of showers!" Jackson announced. "Why don't we head back?"
"Head back?" Cloud questioned. "But we aren't done?"
"We're heading back anyways!" Jackson said simply.
"Why?"
"Cause I said so." The man said simply. "Nos come on kids. Let's head back before the soda on Hero, and Ken begins to freeze..." He stated.
A few hours later...
Hero let out a sigh as he stared up at the roof to their shared room. Cloud, and Kitsune were off in the corner playing Bisoa, while Irene was off to the side reading a book. The bathroom door suddenly opened as Ken stepped out wearing a large and fluffy bathrobe that covered her body completely.
"Thanks for not using all of the hot water," Ken stated. Hero gave a simple nod but still didn't say anything. "Hero?"
"Yeah?"
"Why didn't you just punch that jerk?" Ken questioned.
Hero shrugged. "I felt like he wouldn't be able to handle a punch?" Hero said simply. "He looked like a weak guy who couldn't take one of mine, or yours punches. So I decided not to hit him. Even if he was a jerk. Plus what Jackson said made some sense."
"Some battles just aren't worth fight..." Ken said nodding.
Hero smiled slightly as he shrugged. "A battle that isn't worth fighting. I don't really know what it means but it sounded cool!" Hero said as he reached his hand out suddenly. He reached out placing a hand over his silver eyes since he didn't have his contacts in. "And besides. We're really Enforcers now..." For a brief second a girl with white hair, and silver eyes flashed through his mind. "Real Enforcers..."

"In my four years as a Captain, I have seen many powerful and intelligent recruits all of whom would make great Enforcers... And I denied all of them, because I knew they would only end up worse off if they joined my squad... But those kids... Those five kids... They are arrogant, petty, selfish, idiotic, some cases downright useless... The only thing they have going for them is they are strong, and brave. Four of them lack, a fighting style, I'm convinced one of them is a crossdresser, and the only one who had any sort of potential was that Otoko but he seemingly has no talent right now. He's someone who has somehow not progressed at all in the sixteen years he was alive, and seems like a massive idiot...""So you took them in because you felt like none of them deserved to be Enforcers..." Master Storm said slowly as he blinked slightly. "This feels like a bet Ward would make..." He questioned curiously."I took them in all for that reason but also I do see potential in all of them, even if it is only a tiny fraction of it... Otoko seemingly has the most but wasted it in every way, that girl Ken has a really powerful Attribute but has no idea how to use that sword she carries around, Glacious throws out massive attacks but hesitates so often they can barely do anything, that blind boy at least knows how to fight, but he's blind, and Nine is a typical asshole Noble." Katrina stated. "If I can mold each of them into an Enforcer than I would have taken the least qualified people and made them qualified. Stark can eat his heart out..."Master Storm let out a bit of a sigh as he nodded his head. "I... I see..." He said. "Is that the only reason?""Of course not.""Oh good, there's more." The old man said sarcastically."Their eyes," Katrina said simply. "I've seen that look in all of their eyes..." Katrina said nodding her head. "Every single one of those kids, baring Cloud, has seen some things in their lives... Even that asshole Noble boy!" The girl's smile faded though as she crossed her arms. "Anyways. It really doesn't matter too much. I got squad members. I put Jackson in charge of them too. Now. Why exactly did you ask me up here? I doubt it was to simply talk about my recruitment choices, as stange as they may seem?" She questioned.Master Storm let out a heavy sigh as his electric blue eyes shined slightly. "Right well... I have a mission for you..." The man said reaching into a drawer. "Two missions in fact. That boy... Hero Otoko was seemingly attacked by a group... A group we have heard of a few years ago?" He slowly pulled out a very fancy ruby ring as he slid it across the table and over to Katrina. "You have two missions. The first mission is to protect this ring. The second is, I will be stationing you down in Dandelion, for a solo mission... I want you to gather information while you are there. Also you need to keep that ring out of the hands of the group...""I see..." Katrina said picking the ruby ring up slowly. She let out a gasp when she felt how warm it was. "But beg my pardon, sir? Wouldn't it be a better idea to keep this ring locked tight somewhere? You know instead of on my finger?" She questioned."Yes, that would be the smart thing to do." Master Storm stated nodding his head."...But that's not what you're going to do is it..." Katrina said with a deadpan expression."Nope! From now on it's your responsibility. Oh, by the way, don't let the enemies get their hands on that ring it could quite literally result in the end of the world.""What!?""Anyways I gotta go now-""Now hold on! You can't just-"'Crash!'Katrina stared slacked jawed when Master Storm quite literally threw himself out the window. "Remember! Protect the ring!" He yelled out as he fell down the tower...Katrina stood there for a few moments in shock before she let out a heavy sigh and slipped the ring on her finger. "What the hell is wrong with every Enforcer..."Meanwhile...In the squad six tower, there was a simple room with five beds. In this room Hero, Ken, Kitsune, Cloud, and Irene all slept soundly. None of them said a word as they all laid down breathing deeply...Then..."Alright, guys!" Jackson announced kicking the door down as he exploded into the room. "Wake up you assholes! It's time to begin your Enforcer duties!" He yelled out with a large air horn blaring out. "Wakey, wakey!"All five recruits freaked out as they all jumped up startled. Hero let out a yell as his back hit the window and it shattered. "Why!" The boy screamed out as he tumbled out the window falling out of the tower.'Smash!'The sound of a body hitting the floor echoed out up to the second story floor.Everyone stood there in silence as they all stared at the window..."Uh... Whoops..." Jackson said letting out a laugh... "My bad..."One hour later...All the recruits sat in the mess hall, all of them fully dressed, and showered now. Jackson's eye twitched slightly as he stared at all five of the recruits. "It took you guys an hour to get ready?" He questioned as he stared at them with a deadpan stare."It's not our fault..." Ken said letting out a huff as she crossed her arms. "We had to go get Hero, then Hero, Kitsune, and Cloud spent forever showering, and for some reason, North refused to join them, so then I had to wait on him to finish before I finally got the chance to shower, and by then all the hot water was used up... God, I hate it here, already...""Why didn't you guys all just shower together-"Hero spat out his drink as he broke into a coughing fit. "Umm... Mr. Storm you know Ken's a girl, right?" Hero said still gasping for air. "I mean it was awkward enough to shower with Cloud, and Kitsune. Luckily Clouds blind and Kitsune and me made a bro code pact before we got in so it was all good there...""Yeah..." Ken said sliding away from the man. "I'm not showering with them..." Ken stated."Well, why not?" Jackson asked in confusion. "Me and Katrina shower together all the time-"Hero once again spat out his drink."Jackson..." A loud voice announced in a panic. The group turned finding Dawson was suddenly here as he quickly ran over to the man grabbing him by the shoulder. "Look Katrina really wouldn't like you telling these kids what you guys do in your alone time..." The man hissed slightly. "You and Katrina have the most abnormal friendship... Believe it or not, it isn't normal for guys, and girls to shower together...""Oh... I think I get it." Jackson said nodding. "They're shy..."Dawson let out a sigh as he rolled his yellow eyes. "Yes, Jackson. They're shy..." The man said. "Oh. By the way. I won't be here for a few weeks... Katrina, and I are both being sent on separate missions by orders of Master Storm... You'll be the only Squad Six member at the base so it's up to you to show these recruits the ropes. You. Just you... It is up to you alone to train these recruits..." Dawson said turning slightly. "Oh. And Katrina specifically said not to let them do D-Class missions or above!" He stated as he turned and began to walk off."Don't worry!" Jackson said giving a salute. "They won't do anything over the top on my watch..." He announced. "And if they do, do something crazy and over the top, you can bet I will be there doing even crazier things...""Right..." Dawson said skeptically. He reached into his pocket pulling out a small metallic square. "Hey, kid." He said suddenly throwing it towards Hero. "Catch." He stated.Hero reached out catching the metal box as he looked down on it in confusion. "What's this?""Just an insurance," Dawson stated shrugging. "If you are ever in danger and for whatever reason, you don't think Jackson will be able to come save you guys pull out that box and hit the button," Dawson stated as he began to slowly leave. "Oh... And be careful not to accidentally use it. I don't know how pissed she will be if you wake her up on accident." He stated as he walked off before Hero could ask him what he meant."Alright!" Jackson announced happily as he clapped his hands together. "I hope you guys are ready! Because its time you guys get to do your first mission!" Jackson announced out."Alright!" Ken said happily as she stood up with stars in her eyes. "What's it gonna be?" The young girl asked excitedly. "Hunting a Bestia Macht? Fighting an Angel? Defeating an evil organization? Stopping a city from being destroyed? Aliens? Come on what's it gonna be?"One hour later..."Community service..." Ken said as her eye twitched slightly. "Our first big mission is to do community service." She said again..."Yep!" Jackson announced as he stood on a massive pile of trash, with crossed arms. Currently, they were outside by the frozen ocean where piles, upon piles of trash could be seen. "Being an Enforcer isn't just about fighting monsters. It's also about going and doing good in little ways... Also we beat up monsters..." He stated.Kitsune also had a bit of an eye twitch. "You want us to pick up trash..." He said slowly."Uh-huh!""God damn it..." Irene said slowly as she let out a sigh. "Okay. Well, we can probably do this quickly if we just destroy the trash..." She said as she raised her hand up."No!" Jackson announced causing the girl to jump back slightly. "No Attributes! All of you have to do this by hand!""But why?" Hero asked."Cause I said so!" Jackson announced. "Now get to work!" He stated snapping his fingers.Cloud let out a sigh as he walked up. "Well, guys. Let's get this over with." He stated. "If we all five get to work now we should be done in a few hours..."A few hours later."Oh God, we're not even halfway done!" Hero yelled out."Well if you guys actually worked maybe you would be done by now!" Jackson yelled out. The man still stood on a massive pile of trash as the teens picked it up throwing the trash into large buckets. "Just work for a few more hours and maybe you guys can take a break," Jackson said shrugging slightly.Ken let out a sigh as she grabbed a chunk of trash throwing it in the bucket. "This sucks..." She sighed out. "When I joined the Enforcers I thought they would be a lot more-""More over the top?" Jackson questioned smirking slightly."Yeah..." The short girl said sighing again."Relax." Hero stated. "You have to start small before you start big.""I know but-"'Splat!' A bottle of soda flew through the air landing on Ken's head soaking the poor girl. Ken stood there with wide eyes as sticky soda dripped off of her.Everyone turned to see a random citizen walking away nonchalantly. "Hey!" Ken yelled out in anger as she raised her fist up in pure anger. "You asshole! Look at what you did?" She shouted out.The man turned slightly as he raised an eyebrow. "So?" He questioned."So! You threw a bottle of soda at me you prick!""I was aiming for the pile of trash." He said shrugging."Why didn't you just throw it away then!" Ken yelled out."Because you guys are cleaning? I figured you could handle it?""You're a very rude man..." Hero stated slowly. Find authorized novels in Webnovelfaster updates, better experiencePlease click www.webnovel.com for visiting. "You shouldn't throw trash at people." Kitsune hissed slightly."Apologize," Cloud announced raising his staff."You guys are Enforcers, right? Well, that makes you the public's servents, so you got to do what we want." The random citizen stated shrugging."That... That isn't how that works..." Jackson said shaking his head. "I know your type... You're the type of people who have never been out of the cities and have no idea what it's like out there... You think that we Enforcers are pointless right...""Of course I do." The man said shrugging. "I mean do Bestia Macht even exist? I've never seen one? You guys are just assholes who we pay to keep around for no reason.""Well guess what asshole!" Ken stated pulling her sheathed sword out as she pointed it at the man. "I'm gonna kick-""Ken!" Jackson said letting out a sigh. "Don't. Some battles just aren't worth fighting. This man is an asshole, not a villain." He said simply."But-""I know," Jackson said nodding. "He deserves it but as Enforcers, we are sworn to protect the lives of other humans to the best of our abilities." He said as he crossed his arms. "Even pricks...""Hear that girl?" The man said smirking slightly. "You can't touch me." He said smirking.Ken grumbled slightly as Hero reached out patting the girl on the shoulder. "It's okay Ken. Jackson is right. It just isn't worth it. This guy is just a big old jerk.""You're right..." Ken hissed slightly as she turned away in anger.The man let out a laugh as he turned walking off. "Well since you guys are picking up trash anyways..." He stated chucking a second bottle of soda over his shoulder.Ken watched as the soda soared through the air then. 'Splat!'Hero's eyes twitched slightly as he stepped in front of the girl allowing the bottle of soda to hit him. "Okay... Now it's worth it!" Ken said going to step past Hero.Hero reached out grabbing the girl's shoulder. He simply shook his head. "It's fine. It's just soda." Hero stated calmly. "No need to get so worked up? A simple shower will fix it for both of us...""Speaking of showers!" Jackson announced. "Why don't we head back?""Head back?" Cloud questioned. "But we aren't done?""We're heading back anyways!" Jackson said simply."Why?""Cause I said so." The man said simply. "Nos come on kids. Let's head back before the soda on Hero, and Ken begins to freeze..." He stated.A few hours later...Hero let out a sigh as he stared up at the roof to their shared room. Cloud, and Kitsune were off in the corner playing Bisoa, while Irene was off to the side reading a book. The bathroom door suddenly opened as Ken stepped out wearing a large and fluffy bathrobe that covered her body completely."Thanks for not using all of the hot water," Ken stated. Hero gave a simple nod but still didn't say anything. "Hero?""Yeah?""Why didn't you just punch that jerk?" Ken questioned.Hero shrugged. "I felt like he wouldn't be able to handle a punch?" Hero said simply. "He looked like a weak guy who couldn't take one of mine, or yours punches. So I decided not to hit him. Even if he was a jerk. Plus what Jackson said made some sense.""Some battles just aren't worth fight..." Ken said nodding.Hero smiled slightly as he shrugged. "A battle that isn't worth fighting. I don't really know what it means but it sounded cool!" Hero said as he reached his hand out suddenly. He reached out placing a hand over his silver eyes since he didn't have his contacts in. "And besides. We're really Enforcers now..." For a brief second a girl with white hair, and silver eyes flashed through his mind. "Real Enforcers..."
