Hey that was dangerous to throw a unsheathe saber like that!” He chuckle menacingly and said, “But to catch it with ease and without fear getting hurt, right?” sneer at Mira but she try to defend from Vane reason, “Its just lucky I catch it and I have talent for it hehe.” She try to laugh it off but Vane remind her, “Mira, did you forgot what happen when you at grade school and what you did back then.” Mira sulk and said, “Yes, I remember, it was summer back then.” Mira having a flashback from her past, when she was a grade school. At that time, Vane was teaching Mira the intermediate skill of the swordplay, He don’t know much about what Mira doing when she awake, so it was the right age to ask her, “Mira, when you wake up, can you tell me the detail what have you been doing.” Mira ask him “why?” And he replies, “So I can help you from your problem and be a better person.” He smile gentle at Mira and she ask this, “Why you care much?” Vane was surprise from what she ask and he answer it something else, “That’s a secret until you are the age of 18, I will tell you all about me, before that time comes, you need to listen everything I said ok.” Mira nodded and smile happily back at hit. At school in Ether grade school, where grade school student study before they are transfer to Gaia at the age 14 on middle school. At that time there were some middle school delinquents, who were about to transfer to Gaia by next month, they are try to search for trouble before they transfer.

Mira tell her friend to call the teachers at school, while she tries to stop them somehow. Her friend quickly goes to school to call the teachers for help. Mira look around and found a pipe near by the trash, she pick it up and shout at the delinquents, “Hey, you big bullies, stop what you doing if you do not want to get hurt!” the delinquents laugh at her and one of them said, “ you? Hurt us!? Haha you got be kidding me.” Mira prepare her stance that gives the chill to the delinquents “Do not underestimate me for being a child.” At the time when Mira’s friend bring the teachers to the place where the delinquents are, they saw the 4 middle school delinquent are down on the ground, some are shaking in pain while the others are puking blood. The teachers were shock what they saw, the last delinquent stand shaking while have a knife pointed at Mira. One of teacher tries to call out Mira, “hey!! Get away from him, his…. Dangerous..?” The teacher saw there were no blood stains on the delinquent or on his knife, but Mira have some blood stains and the pipe she hold have blood dripping on the ground. The delinquent’s hand shaking in fear with his knife and said, “What… Who the hell are you!!” then he attack Mira, but she quickly swing her iron pipe, hitting the wrist make him unable to move his hand/hold the knife. He screaming in agony and Mira stare at him and said, “Whose feeling in pain right now.” Within a flash, Mira do three direct hits at his vital point, hearing the break of bone and puke blood, the last delinquent fall to the ground and Mira said to the fallen delinquents, “good thing you guy’s are still alive, if this blunt pipe were a sharp sword you all are dead, just suffer first then think what’s your life’s purpose for you, that what Vane told me.” After that the beaten up grade school was rescue however the 5 middle school delinquent were hospitalize for 4 month and Mira was transfer to other school at “Ether”, Vane heard everything from the crying Mira and she said, “What did I do wrong? Sob, sob.” Then he replies, “Mira everything have its right place to do, like calling the teacher to stop the delinquents was the right choice but using your swordplay against them was wrong, you only use it when your own life is endanger and not for others life, because they will misunderstand you, even its for the right thing to do. Mira promise me use your talent in sword, in this dream and only if you are endanger.” Mira nodded saying yes, After the flashback is back to the present then Vane suddenly ask her a favor, “Mira, try your best to keep a low profile when you are all gather.” Again she nodded saying yes unsure about the future ahead of her.

Phantasmagoria Chapter 1 part 9

Mira was shock to heard the truth what happen to the first year student, “Teacher Webner, if this truth then why tell the whole class a one big lie!?” Giovanni answer her question, “because there are two reasons, first is to avoid panic and the other to avoid the ruined of the reputation of Gaia.” Mira burst out her anger “Isn’t it a school job to protect the student in case of danger more than protecting its reputation!” He reply, “indeed is our job that why I am telling you this.” Mira was suddenly confuse what Giovanni said and he continue the conversation, “According to our latest investigation, the culprit seem aiming at only popular student at Gaia.” She just realizes something, “you mean this happened before!?” He response, “yes, it happen one year ago at the end of your first year term, we discover that body near the Arc bridge and do you know whose the victim is?” Mira seem to know whose the victim, “The victim’s name is Henry Brander, who also known as Henry the Ace Tech, he can fixes any kind of computer program in a matter of minutes.” Giovanni said the detail, “The cause of his death was a blunt wound on the head and seem like accident, but now there a new victim, who’s also a popular to the freshman, It all make sense, the culprit is in Gaia.” Mira think and ask, “the culprit is a student here, and kills the popular ones, out of jealousy.” Giovanni nodded and said, “Indeed that might be the motive but there are still others like rivalry/hatred, so for further investigation, all the popular student and top Aces in Gaia will put under in one class for protection and also to check if one of them is the culprit.” Mira grind her teeth and said, “Even with permission to investigate me and the other, this is against human rights of privacy.” She appealed but Giovanni said a reasonable answer, “If is a matter of protect the student, will do anything in our power to prevent the next victim, we might not know, you maybe the killer were looking for.” Giovanni made a bad joke on Mira that she seem worried what will happen to her.
