章 13: Hunt a Fish?

Victor explains everything to Arashi, tells him about the victim, Ryu Takahashi.

The person is a Martial artist, he moved with lightning speed, a blur to the human eye. But when he tapped into his star ability, transforming into a creature, his velocity reached unimaginable levels, nearly shattering the sound barrier. His agility and aerodynamics were finely honed, allowing him to Move with this menacing speed without getting any harm, a testament to his mastery of both body and mind, if it was a normal person, the person would blow up as soon as he reach that speed.

Victor, an agent of the Star Holder's Agents (SHA), had been assigned the task of capturing a renegade Star Holder alive, intending to seal his powers until he acquiesced to join the organization. When Arashi inquired about the consequences of disagreement, Victor's response was chilling: "They meet their end." Arashi felt a shiver run down his spine at the cold certainty in Victor's words, understanding the rules of their mission.

Victor explains why he needs Arashi with him, He found out in ancient shapeshifting stars books it's mentioned that High electric pulse can Make the shapeshifter shapeshift into a Normal Human again, he realized Arashi can help him with it, Arashi can turn him human while Victor captures him.

Victor proposed to share 20% of their profits with Arashi says "what's the 20%?"

"200k S gems," Victor replied calmly. Arashi's jaw dropped in shock at the substantial offer, blurting out, "Yes, count me in!" Victor breathed a sigh of relief, glad to have secured Arashi's commitment. Leading Arashi to their agent team base.

Arashi's eyes widened in amazement as he gazed upon the expansive compound, situated just 36 kilometers from the Star Holder Organization village. The sight of the formidable security measures and the multitude of individuals engaged in rigorous training left him completely stunned.

He enters, the time is 7 PM, After they entered Victor takes him to his Team room, each agents have 1 leader and a Team, Arashi opens the door and ashura gets angry after seeing Arashi, he throws his sandle at Arashi but victor casually holds it mid air and says "We need him", Ashura gets angry and says, why can't we just get some Electrical weapons, victor says "If there's a way to save money then why not take that chance?"

Despite his simmering anger, Ashura remained silent. Arashi attempted to break the tension with a friendly greeting, but Raven, lost in her own world, didn't acknowledge him or anyone else. Instead, she reclined casually, immersed in her music.

Victor led Arashi to a pinboard covered with information about Ryu Takahashi, explaining how every night he struggled to control his star, leading him to roam the city in search of blood and strong opponents to satisfy him. Arashi questioned whether Ryu couldn't manage his star, to which Victor replied, "Some shapeshifting stars take control of their hosts, causing them to go berserk. However, with practice, Ryu can now easily control his star ability."

Arashi sits and Tells everyone "hey, I got a Nice Plan" Victor stares at Arashi and says what plan? Arashi says "We are about to hunt a Fish" , Ashura says "Did you mean Fishing fish? Because hunting a fish doesn't make sense to me"

The scene shifts as Victor and his team find themselves aboard a train bound for Takayama, where they plan to catch a bus to Shirakawa-go. Arashi is noticeably absent, leaving Ashura, Raven, and Victor to sit in quiet tranquility. Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere is disrupted by the arrival of a thunderstorm, accompanied by pouring rain.

As Raven's mood brightens with the rain, Ashura's anger intensifies, harboring a deep-seated childhood issue with rainfall. Victor remains unperturbed, deep in meditation. Suddenly, the tranquility is shattered as the entire train lurches violently, as if something massive has jumped over their carriage, sending shivers down their spines.

Victor activate his heat radar ability to survey the surroundings. To his alarm, he detects two large entities above their carriage. Reacting swiftly, Ashura unleashes his shadow, which stealthily ascends to investigate. As the shadow nears the top of the carriage, it reveals the silhouette of two unknown creatures. Upon closer inspection, Ashura discovers to his disbelief that they are merely two Damn monkeys, causing a collective sigh of relief among the group.

what are they doing here, ashura's shadow takes the 2 monkeys and jumps off the train and puts them by the near tree and vanishes, Ashura says no problem it's just 2 monkeys accidentally got over the carriage, victor still can't get rid of the feeling that something is not right.

As the scene shifts, Arashi is deeply focused on his calculations regarding the Star Holder and the capabilities required to confront them effectively. He finds that he needs a Generate 15k voltage to harm the Star Holder, yet he can only generate 9k. Arashi dedicates himself to intense training in voltage measurement, managing to push his capacity to a commendable 15k. However, his electric impact attack, currently at 20k voltage, lacks the ability to fully penetrate the victim's body. Arashi understands the need to refine his technique to ensure the voltage surpasses 15k and permeates the entire body for maximum effectiveness, it will make Ryu go back to Human form.

what happens next?
