Bai's Aftermath/Secretive Mission

(As a new week begins, the school enters a sunny day for it was Monday, Bai then returned to the academy with his head down as most of the academy were afraid of Bai Zhen now while a few cocky individuals continued to mock him. A while later, he'd then enter the third floor of the academy's class and club rooms and was noticed by a recovering Jia who rushed to Bai.)

"Jia: Z-Zhen!"
"Bai: ...Jia... Why aren't you at home recovering..?"
"Jia: ...I had to come and see you... But also, what's this about you and transforming arm..??"
"Bai: ....I don't really know."
"???: Hey, Mr. 500! Seems like you're back, the hell were you? We were getting bored with nothing to do! Now that you're here, you're coming with us to-"

(As Bai's shoulder was forcefully gripped, Bai's right arm then blasts the aggravator with his arm which transformed into a tendril and began to choke the student as everyone nearby noticed and was immediately shook and scared.)

"Jia: Z-ZHEN! YOU HAVE TO STOP! You said it yourself, you hate using your blessing on schoolgrounds...!"

(As Bai's eye pupils shifted to normal, he'd then recontrol himself and back away from the bully.)

"Jia: Z-Zhen...?"
"Bai: I'm fine. But you should go home, Jia. Your injuries can reopen if you don't take it easy."
"Jia: ... But I-"

(As Bai walked off to the Headmaster's office, he'd then enter the room and notice Xinyi smoking a cigarette while giving her attention to Bai.)

"Bai: You called me in here?"
"Sun: I did, Bai. I was told that you took a leave of absence from the academy for a few days after the incident with Fen and Yi."
"Bai: Yes, headmaster. I did because of the stress I had building up inside. Yu means a lot to me as a friend but I cannot stand being a public center of attention."
"Sun: I understand that. But Bai, I think it's a little too late for that. During your absence, the video of you protecting Jia has spread across social media which has thrown Mercenary Associations into a panic. But um... The panic in question is about this.."

(Four printed photos of Bai's transformed arm were shown before him.)

"Sun: Is there anything you know about this...?"
"Bai: I'm sorry, but I do not. If I did know a single thing, I'd tell you immediately."
"Sun: I see. With all due respect Bai, I believe you as always. But at the same time, I have to prioritize the safety for my other students of this academy. Therefore, I received a call from Ms. Yueja of the Mercenary Association. The academy will be receiving another security guard on staff. But his secondary objective is to maintain your safety during school hours."
"Bai: I see. So no more students are protecting me?"
"Sun: Ms. Yu of the Disciplinary Committee is on probationary watch and is restricted from watching you, as for Ms. Fen of the Student Counsel has been suspended for three weeks. As for the worthier guard, Mr. Leonhart is currently in training with the Association's Big 3. He won't return to the academy until midterms it seems."
"Bai: I see. What about the Jingyi Grand's new guard?"
"Sun: The new security guard is a man by the name Rick Holland. Don't let the name fool you, according to his family's history, his father's was a bold, strong man before Ghouls arrived in the United States. He was actually one of the last individuals of his generation as a sheriff."
"Bai: Sheriff? I heard stories about individuals like them."
"Sun: I understand because you're of the Mercenary Generation. However, Mr. Holland's father was a known hero before his death and his son carries his legacy for him. He has a natural born leader and has the intelligence and power to battle a horde of Ghouls himself."
"Bai: I see. When does he arrive?"
"Sun: He'll be here Wednesday evening. So if you see him in the halls or anywhere, do introduce yourself to him. He's eager to meeting you when the chance is there."
"Bai: I will, thank you professor."

(Meanwhile outside the Government palace in Beijing, Kokei was then examining the area and high security before sneaking in. After a few minutes goes by, he'd begin to sneak his way in through the security and agents. After going deeper into the palace, he'd run past a science lab and notices a frozen specimen with pointy jet black hair and a devilish smirk on his face while the human is coated with blood.)

"Kokei: ...This specimen seems... familiar... Wait."

(He'd pull the clipboard and reads it after putting on protective gloves to hide his prints then is surprised at the name of the human.)

"Kokei: ...Ryuketsu...!"

(As Kokei then quickly escapes after putting the clipboard correctly back where it was, he'd then continue to rush secretly to the hall of permanent records. Meanwhile, three scientists returned to the frozen Ryuketsu as they were discussing plans about him.)

"Scientist #1: Look, I think it's wise to just kill him already."
"Scientist #3: It's not that easy! From what the Japanese Prime Minister stated, this guy was already an issue for their previous number one, HE'S DEAD NOW!"
"Scientist #2: How exactly can we kill someone who could be watching us while they're frozen?"
"Scientist #1: Like this."

(As a powered laser was then activated and blasts through the heart of Ryuketsu, his presence was no longer felt for he was now killed while trapped in ice. Meanwhile, Kokei then successfully infiltrates the permanent records department and searches for the last name Zhen. After entering the X-Z files, he'd then notice the Z's are emptied out as if they were never there then finds a nearby computer for the location of the Z named files. Kokei then travels to the lowest depths of the palace and at last finds the Zhen family files with a photo of four faces crossed off the photo, leaving Bai, Xue and his parents which he read through carefully and began to change facial expressions into a shock as he almost was caught by a security mechanism then quickly escapes after leaving a shocked expression on his face. As a day goes by, Kokei returns to the Mercenary Association as Jiia noticed his return.)

"Jiia: Mr. Uesaka! You've returned."
"Kokei: I have... And I have the Zhen family files."
"Jiia: Thank you."
"Kokei: I must warn you... I've underestimated the truth, but this file contains everything..."
"Jiia: Everything...?"

(As Kokei then nodded without another word to say, Jiia then opens up the file to look at the photo with the crossed out family members except the remaining four, Jiia then reads through the rest and suddenly was shocked at a DNA test which she got out of her seat and immediately called Negan. Negan was then laughing at a TV show as he then was irritated at the phone call and answered with irritation.)

"Negan (Phone): What."
"Jiia (Phone): This is urgent. With me now is the Zhen family files."
"Negan (Phone): ...Stay right there, I'm on my way."

(As Negan then leaves the house for a while then locks the door, he'd then arrive at Jiia's office minutes later as he then stormed to the desk and saw the files in front of him.)

"Jiia: This is every single document of Mr. Zhen's parents, his sister and Bai himself. Its his sister what's shocked me the most."

(Negan then takes a peek at Xue's documents and was immediately shook at the truth and suddenly remembered about Bai.)

"Negan: ...Bai should be at school now.. Right..?!"
"Jiia: Yes, he should be."
"Negan: Can we get a track on his sister?"
"Kokei: No need."

(Kokei then closes his eyes and uses the sunshine from the sun as his eyes to find Bai's sister, Xue who was currently at a disclosed location at one of the abandoned areas of Hong Kong known as Fan Lau.)

"Kokei: She's currently at an abandoned village in Fan Lau."
"Negan: Jiia, listen. Under no circumstances will Bai know what's going to happen to his sister."
"Jiia: What are you even going to do..?"
"Negan: I'm going to bring her in and interrogate her for questioning."

(As Negan then storms out with his bat gripped tightly, the file then reveals Xue's document saying she has ties with a mysterious member of the 15 Ghouls. Back in the hidden hideout of the Ghouls, one of the Ghoul scientists then finishes up their transplants and experimentations on Rac which gifted him a massive push in power.)

"Saul (Ghoul Scientist | Power: Science Blessing): That should do it... Now Rac, from what the boss ordered I've transplanted three compatible blessings for you, they should be able to help you in combat with the Commander and the Justice Blessing."
"Rac: ...Thank you. I feel, stronger.. Stronger than ever..."
"Saul: Now do understand that this is an experimental beta test, you cannot go over your limitations so if the time comes when you need to retreat, don't be afraid to bite the emergency button implanted in your cheek."
"Rac: The boss spoils me.. I failed him once and I won't fail him again..!"
"Saul: As much as I give my loyalty to the Triple Ghoul, I worry for my fellow Ghoul comrades as well. Including... my young daughter. Listen Rac, don't get yourself killed out there for good, understand?"

(As Saul then walked off and Rac was now mesmerized with his new transplants and abilities, he then delivered a smirk as he walked off to exit the hideout.)

"Rac: I'm coming for you, Negan Zhihao.. And that Bai Zhen brat too...!"
