That night, Sky"s house, Sky"s room. "I see. Thanks for the information." said Chris to a phone call. "So, everything is in order right now?" said Sky. "Well, I believe in Jason." said Chris. "It"s still quite unbelievable how an Immortal would choose to become a killer and degrade himself as a paid tool for those humans." said Sky. "Well, when a person is forced to a dead end, they would do anything to stay alive, including Immortals. If you are that person, would you choose to become a killer or would you choose to remain as an experimental subject?" said Chris while replying to some messages on his phone. Then, Sky received an email, that attached with audio file, it"s the music for the street dance compet.i.tion. "Play it, I"m quite curious about what kind of music will be used." said Chris.
Sky played the music. It"s a really fancy piece of pop music with a rather fast rhythm, however, in the middle of the music, there"s a small part of slow rhythm that sounds like cla.s.sical music. Chris listened to that part carefully with a serious look, Sky noticed it.
"Chris, anything wrong?" Sky asks. "Hmm... Why do I have a feeling that I had heard this rhythm before? Where did they get this music?" Chris asks, a bit curious. "They said it"s from a friend of a friend. Could it be you had played this song before but you don"t remember?" said Sky. "Hmm... Probably." And so, they continue to listen to the music until they are so sleepy that they decide to go to bed. And yes, Chris is sleeping in Sky"s room again.

The next day, Sky"s secret base (chapter 8). Seito, Itsuki, and Ai are having some discussions while doing their winter a.s.signment. This time, Chris is with them, with an earplug in his right ear.
"Chris, do you know anything about that Dull?" Seito ask. "Unfortunately I don"t, the only thing I know is that, this Knives organisation is been founded not more than a year and has less than fifty members and I believe Ai chan knows about that as well." said Chris and Ai nodded. "Although the incident has been handled properly but the magic trace left by the previous battle has not been completely cleared yet, so the public library will be temporarily closed down for a few days before the magic trace is totally cleared. Right now people will just think that the library is going through a circuit maintenance." said Chris. "Seriously, even though you have been doing this kind of thing for a few times, it"s still quite amazing that you are able to cover these things so well without even care of the local authorities." said Seito. "Well, when you have some reliable helps in the government sectors, it shouldn"t be a problem," said Chris while casually pick up a questionnaire on the table. "However from what happened yesterday, you guys need to be extra careful, especially Itsuki. You know, when there is Knives, there will be a possibility to have other killer organizations to be appear out of nowhere as well, who knows there"s some Fork or Spoon out there... Hmm... This is such a detailed questionnaire, that I certainly would not spend time answering it." said Chris while flips through the questionnaire.
"Hey Chris, don"t you or Sky need to do the winter a.s.signment? Although I doubt if you even need to do it." Seito ask. "Well, I"m indeed exempted from winter a.s.signment since... You know what happens, but I had completed that a.s.signment with Sky last night, his subject is much easier than your group"s." said Chris. "Ah... I see... So, what"s the reason you going to use this time? Vacation? Health problem? Or are you going to pretend that you are a new transfer student? So you don"t even need to recover everyone"s memory when the school starts." said Seito. "Well... I haven"t thought about that yet." said Chris.
Then they continued checking the questionnaire while Chris is scrolling through his tablet while listening to something through the earplug.
"Uhm... Why would a six years old child have ten years experience in playing violin?" said Itsuki all the sudden. "Well, I guess the rumors are true about musician actually practice forty hours a day... Talk about music, Chris, what are you listening since just now?" said Seito. "A short part of a certain street dance music arrangement, I really feel like I have heard this piece of music before, but I can"t remember about it and it seems like I can"t find any information from the Internet either." said Chris. "Street dance?" Seito is a bit curious. "Sky is going to join a street dance compet.i.tion, it"s a part of the dance"s music." said Chris. "Sky?" "Yes, he is having a training right now." said Chris. "Ah... That sounds interesting." said Seito.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the street dance practice room. Sky had mastered all the basic moves for street dance, all those pops, and locks that I don"t even know what it means.
"Hey! You"re a fast learner aren"t you? Now let"s proceed to the dance moves for the compet.i.tion." said the leader of the street dance team. Then another team member starts showing Sky his dance"s moves, some of it are very exaggerate that it"s a bit awkward for Sky to do it. Then when they reached the cla.s.sical music part, a more traditional dance move is presented.
"During the real compet.i.tion, one of our other friends will recite a poem for this part, in rap style." said the leader. "Hmm... That"s quite innovative." said Sky. "I know right? And after this part, each of us will have a freestyle to end the dance, you better prepare for it." said the leader. "Okay, I see." said Sky. Then they continue the training...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few days later, the day of the compet.i.tion, a temporary fancy-styled stage is set up on an open field for the compet.i.tion. Sky is getting ready for his turn near the stage while Chris is watching him from the viewer"s seat with a packet of chocolate-coated marshmallow while giving Sky a thumbs up.
