Chapter 5 - Number One

When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. I had a hard time remembering what happened.

- Doctor, he has woken up, said someone. I sat up and looked around and saw the doctor and Taiyo. I put my hand on my head and asked "Why am I here?"

- Taiyo found you knocked out in an alleyway, the doctor replied.

- Why was Taiyo there? I asked.

- I was there to see if the rumors were true, answered Taiyo.

- Fuji, do you remember what happened? asked the doctor. I looked up and tried to remember.

- I think that I saw a white haired boy fighting a girl that could use lightning magic, I replied.

- Okay, so what spell did the lightning magician use? the doctor asked.

- Lightning Rush I think? I answered uncertainly.

- And what kind of magic did the white haired boy use? asked the doctor.

- Um, I think it was… Air Shield??? Which could block Lightning Rush somehow, I said. The Doctor looked at me in shock and said "Ok so it is Accelerator that is with them." Accelerator? Did he just say Accelerator? I thought. Accelerator is the strongest magician in Magic City. I had heard rumors that Accelerators Air Shield could block lightning magic but I didn't think it was true.

- Ah shit, Why isn't Raidon here, said Taiyo

- Who is Raidon? I asked.

- Raidon is the Lightning Angel, said Taiyo.

- So… Fuji, could I ask you to do one more favour for me? the doctor asked.

- No way in hell, I said before he told me what the favour was.

- What why not? asked the doctor.

- Because you want me to fight Accelerator, I said.

- You are going to get another 100 000 yen, said the doctor.

- Still no and can't Taiyo or Aimi fight him? I asked.

- How are we going to be able to fight him if we can't even hit through his Air Shield, said Taiyo.

- Ok I understand, said the doctor. After that I went home.

Back at my place I remembered that I lost the groceries I bought. I'm glad that I hadn't use all my money last time, I thought. I went to the store but on my way there I met Suzuki and Wada, my friends from school. Suzuki wore a green t-shirt with yellow floral patterns and dark green shorts. Wada was wearing a brown t-shirt and blue jeans.

- Oh no, what are you two doing here? I asked.

- Why are you saying that? asked Suzuki.

- Fuji, where are you going? asked Wada.

- I'm just going shopping, I answered.

- Do you want to come along? asked Wada.

- Oh Shit, so what kind of trouble are you two now going to drag me into? I asked.

- What do you mean by that? asked Wada sarcastically.

- This time we won't get you in trouble. We are just going to the amusement park and it's on Wada, said Suzuki.

- Wait what! Why is it on me? asked Wada.

- It's you who invited him and Fuji do anyways not have any money, said Suzuki.

- Hej, I got some money, I said protesting.

- Yeah, Yeah, so are you coming with us? asked Suzuki.

- Yeah sure, I answered and then we went to the amusement park.

It took us 10 minutes to get there.

- So you want tickets for three people? asked the woman who took all the tickets and payments.

- Yes it is, said Wada. By the way, Wada's family is wealthy.

- Okay, do you have tickets or will you pay? she asked.

- Pay, said Wada.

- Okay, so for three people it will be 14 100 yen, said the woman. I'm so glad that I'm not the one paying, I thought.

- Ok, said Wada and paid. After we went into the park Wada asked "So what are we doing first?"

- Of course we are going to ride that rollercoaster first, I said and pointed towards the biggest rollercoaster in the middle of the whole park.

- Are you serious? asked Suzuki.

- Yes, of course I am, I said.

- Ok… Last one there is a rotten egg, said Wada and started running towards the rollercoaster.

- Hej, Wait, Suzuki said and started running. Come on, this isn't good for my injury, I thought before I started running.

When we got to the rollercoaster I was breathing heavily and had my hand on my stomach.

- Yeah, that was a stupid idea, I said.

- Fuji, has something happened to you? asked Suzuki.

- Yeah some other idiots got me in some trouble which got me stabbed in the stomach but I'm fine now, I said. 

- Are you sure then it is a good idea to ride the rollercoaster? asked Suzuki and pointed at the rollercoaster.

- Probably not, but if I'm with you two I have to do at least one stupid thing, I said. After that we talked and waited for 30 minutes and then we got to ride the rollercoaster for a minute. After that we were there for a few more hours. After we left the amusement park we went to the closest store.

There, we said goodbye, but before Wada and Suzuki left, a strong wind came from an alleyway. I looked in shock towards the alleyway. When the wind touched my right arm I could feel Magic Breaker activating.

- That was a strong wind, almost pushed me down, said Wada. If Magic Breaker activated that must mean that that was magic, I thought. I had a bad feeling about it so I started running into the alleyway. When I stopped I saw blood everywhere. When Suzuki and Wada had caught up to me Suzuki asked "Why did…" Before he saw all the blood. We all looked around in shock.

- What happened here? Suzuki asked.

- It probably was a bloody fight, said Wada.

- Yeah, no normal magic fight should leave it this bloody, said Suzuki.

- Do any of you two have your phone on you? I asked.

- No I don't, why do you ask? asked Wada.

- What do you think dipshit, said Suzuki. "And no, I don't have my either."

- Of course none of us have our phones on us, I said and then we ran to the shop and told them what we saw. When they heard what we saw they called the police.

After the police came they asked us about everything we saw and then they went into the alleyway.

- Are you sure you saw a lot of blood over there? asked one of the policemen.

- Yes, I know what I saw..

- Huh, another false report. How many people do they have in on this? asked the policemen and then they drove away. After he said that we went back into the alleyway and saw that all blood was gone.

- Where did all the blood go? asked Suzuki in shock.

- I don't know, I said. After that Suzuki and Wada went home and I bought the things I needed and went home, where I dropped the bags I was holding and remembered who Accelerator killed.

- Oh Yeah, he killed Misaka
