Kakashi had submitted Hitori's body to the hospital, they used wagons to take the body to the hospital. He was waiting for Eya and Senso and Atama-sensei. Jiyara had explained the situation to Kakashi, and Kakashi told him what happened.
He tracked Atama's position, he was still there. Senso reached the spot and found Atama's card, he lifted it and took it with him to the building.
The students had sent home. Of the hundred students, only thirty had passed the test, the rest would have to come again.
Hitori and Kamiya's group was interrogated. They told them they had decided to split so those two went in their direction, soon lost the track of the path and got lost. They were let off the hook.
The teachers were sent back to the academy, too. Soon the Minister of Criminal Intelligence arrived at the spot. They watched their positions on radar, how they distributed, teleported, and faded.
Now they were waiting for the bodies to arrive. Kakashi told them who did it, but they refused to believe it. Typical Ministers. All they could do was wait for the bodies.
Senso contacted Jiyara. "I found his card, but… he is to be seen nowhere."
"God damn it! Just come back, sir," Jiyara said. Senso agreed.
Later they would send an investigation team to search for Atama.
"And there is no such monster that would kill the old man, be assured of that. Give him some time, he must have forgotten his way or must be messing with us."
"If you say so, Jiyara!" Senso came back.
Kakashi greeted him. "Is she back?" Senso asked.
Kakashi shook his head and asked, "Did you see her?"
"I did," he said, "she said she needed some time to act upon Kamiya's body… she will be back." Senso patted Kakashi's shoulder and left for a drink.
He met with Hanzai. "Where is Atama-sensei?"
"Messing with us, I guess," he said.
"I heard Kamiya is dead? He was a nice boy, I had a nice talk with him…"
"Hanzai… let us take a drink."
Atama cast another spell at the half-dragon, it took the hit head-on and fell on its back, into the woods. Atama grinned, he teleported behind the half-dragon.
He raised his hand, it transformed into a pointed metal weapon, he stabbed the dragon's back, then pierced his hand through its heart.
No one heard the dragon's scream, Atama had taken care of it. The dragon was missing an eye, its mouth was sealed, and Atama had detached its scaly arm.
Atama kicked the dragon in the knee and forced it to fall on its knee. He pulled his hand out, blood flushed from the hole, and sprung in the air.
Its beautiful white scales were populated with its dark red color. Atama will wash it, no wonder, before using it to forge a wand or a scale wail armor.
Atama stored the dragon in his spatial storage, he grinned wider. "Clean." He cleaned himself.
He cleaned the mess of blood he had created. Then he opened his mouth wider. "Now, there you go, Atama-sensei." And he collapsed to the ground.
Kakashi rose from his seat when Jiyara said, "Kakashi, she is coming back."
Kakashi bosted out of the door and looked for Eya. After a few seconds, she appeared from the forest.
She held her head down as she walked. Kakashi ran to her and hugged him. "Are you alright?" he asked. "It is alright, everything will be alright. As long as that boy is alive…"
"Kamiya's body…" she said.
"We will send it to his parents, and conduct a funeral for him, too."
She shook her head. "I do not have his body."
Kakashi's smile faded. He pulled Eya from him. He heard footsteps from behind, Senso and Jiyara entered the scene. They were standing on the porch.
"What, what do you mean?"
She pushed her head into his chest. She sobbed. "I could not bring myself to see Kamiya's body, I turned from the body and tried to calm myself. I heard something in the woods…" She paused and sobbed.
Senso and Jiyara exchanged glances. Hanzai was standing behind them, leaning against a wall.
Eya continued, "I thought it was a monster, I drew my wand and turned to the bodies. They were gone." And she broke, crying full-blown.
Jiyara covered his face and sighed. "Oh fucking god."
Hanzai frowned and leaned off the wall. Senso exchanged glances with Hanzai.
"Oh, Kakashi… it is my fault, I am sorry!" Kakashi turned to Senso, he nodded.
Senso raised his hand and gestured for Kakashi to take her home. Kakashi agreed and picked Eya. "Come on, let us go home. It is alright, do not cry," he said, walking down the porch. "Come on, come on, Eya-nee, it is alright, shh. It is not your fault. Do not cry!"
Hanzai turned to watch the siblings leave the building, Senso joined from behind, and Jiyara followed him. "She lost their bodies? She was never so careless. Clumsy, yes, because she is tiny; but such… no…"
Senso hummed. "Humans make mistakes once in a while," Senso said.
Hanzai kept staring before he turned to Jiyara. "Anything on Atama?" he asked.
Jiyara glanced at him, then raced to the cabin. His mates were waiting for him. "J-Jiyara-san," the junior said, "Atama-sensei's card is moving!"
Jiyara stopped at the door. "What?!"
"He is moving, or someone has got his card. J-just take a look at this." He got up.
Jiyara placed himself in the chair, he found the blue dot glowing on the radar and it was closing into the clear area. He jumped off his chair and busted out of the cabin. He found Senso and Hanzai sitting on wooden benches.
"Atama-sensei will be here anytime. The problem is… we do not know if it is really Atama-sensei or someone else carrying his card."
"A monster?" Hanzai asked, he raised his brow.
"No. T-The person is coming towards the entrance as if they know the route. I, I think we should be on our guard."
Senso rose from his seat and held his scabbard forward. "You got it." He sighed and walked to the entrance.
Hanzai drew his wand and followed Senso. Jiyara stood confused, he glanced between the entrance and the cabin. He rolled his eyes.
"Oi, look out for anything suspicious on the radar," he shouted at his mates, drew his wand, and followed them to the entrance.
They have closed the door. Senso was standing right in front of the door with Hanzai by his side. The guards in the area gathered behind him. Jiyara walked past them.
"Do you think it will Atama-sensei?" he asked.
"Only one way to know…" Senso brought his finger to his lips. "Atama-sensei, if you are approaching the entrance, then please call us back."
No reply.
"Atama-sensei, if you are approaching us, please give us a sign, or we will be forced to attack you at the first sight of your appearance."
The woods rustled. They saw a silhouette appear from the woods in the clear area. He was somewhere around ten meters away.
