SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD

and his family

The individual barriers that protected the students were beyond every expectation, not even big Joe, the acclaimed strongest man in the world could break through it. For a few minutes it was just an awkward moment of hunters tackling impenetrable barriers while the students inside just had to keep their hopes up, it continued that way until Cypher found the energy source of the barrier and big Joe sprang into action. 

  Meanwhile at Shiro's house, Mia had opened the door to see a lot of unwelcoming faces. For her it was quite obvious what they were after but it was the first time that they arrived in such a large group, they were about fifty in total and they all seemed to be well trained.

  "he's not around " she said, as she did her best to remain calm. Normally in situations like this, the men would try to force their way in and confirm if what she said was true, and then she would end up whooping all their asses, but the condition of this encounter was not the usual. First, the men were just too many. Second, Mia was yet to fully recover from her injuries, and the third was the reply she received after saying that Shiro wasn't around. The reply came from a man, who by just looking, one could tell that he was cut out from the rest, the few words he uttered carried confidence, power and a great imposition of fear. All Mia could do was to stand petrified and listen to him as he said "We know he's not around, we're here for you... little Miss."

  Back to the school, an all out brawl going on between the the hunters and the combat enabled teachers. The hunters were led by big Joe, a hulking beast with an unknown an amount of super strength. while the teachers were led by none other than mr. Fuji Waramaki, the man who had power over all elements. 

  While the battle ensued, two things went unnoticed by the teachers. First was that Orie was nowhere to be seen(this was only noticed by his students), and the second was that Cypher had found the secret passage that led to the principal's office(this was noticed by no one). While Orie's disappearance may have been important, it was inconsequential to the outcome of the raid, so the real cause for concern was Cypher's discovery. 

  Not just Cypher but every one knew that principal Rin had no magical power and was always guarded by professionals. but once in the school premises she was always alone and walked around freely. Even though the principal's office was the most secure place in the entire school, it would be an easy job for someone like Cypher considering that the entire place was mechanized and subject to hacking. 

  It wasn't long before Cypher made it to the main office. all the the security doors he had passed were no match for his abilities, they basically fell open as soon he laid his hands on them and now he was standing in front of principal Rin who seemed to be asleep despite all the commotion going on. 

  "Is this lady for real?" he asked himself. how could someone be asleep after all that just happened. it wasn't normal for such a thing happen but Cypher was experiencing it and what made things more awkward was that she remained unresponsive even as he got closer and no defence mechanism was activated when touched her forehead. he ended up feeling like some kind of creep that snuck up on a sleeping woman but he had job and she was the most effective factor for completing it, so he brought out a rope and proceeded to tie her up(with made him feel even more creepy). but then Rin woke up and there was an awkward moment for a while which she used to figure out the entire situation and it wasn't long she had gun pointed at Cypher. 

  Meanwhile, somewhere in the school yard, Fuji and big Joe were fighting it out. they had been at it for about ten minutes and none of them seemed to be backing out or showing any signs of tiredness, it was quite visible that none of them had decided to go all out, but that was about to change. 

  Big Joe stopped in the middle of the fight and Fuji finally got a clean shot and took it and was sure that it hit, there was no way anyone could evade his well timed thunderbolt but as soon as the dust cleared, Joe was standing unharmed as if he was not even been hit. he threw another bolt and watched it carefully. to his astonishment, Joe did not even make an effort dodge, he just walked straight into the incoming bolt and came out unscathed. then he tried his fire cannons, earth crusher, hailstorm, wind blades, he even summoned a few familiars to assist in the fight but none the dealt any noticable damage. 

  Joe laughed diabolically as he walked towards Fuji who wanted to make a move but stopped midway. 

  "so you're afraid of hurting your students, what a good teacher you are." Joe said, as he landed series of punches on Waramaki's face and continued to pummel him. 

  Waramaki knew his own strength. he had enough power to break through Kojiro's barriers but was unable to leave a scratch on Joe, so he knew stepping up his game would put the students in danger. his only hope was that since Joe, despite his durability was unable to break the barriers, someone would eventually take him down. But even that hope was shattered he saw Joe walking in Kojiro's direction right before he passed out. 

  It only took a few walks for Joe to get to where Kojiro was and as Waramaki feared, he was unguarded due to the nature of his ability.
