"We are the first and last line of defense against the Berserker problem. Our job is simple; hunt them down, take them out. - Tokyo Branch Commander, Kazama Chosokabe
"Hattori? Hattori?! WAKE UP, YOU LAZY BUTT!" A voice shouted from behind Hattori's door followed by a few bangs. The alarm blared at the side of his bed, with him stretching his arm over and shutting it off. More shouting could be heard, as Hattori sat up and gave out a yawn, a dazed look followed. "You know, you don't have to shout so loud, sheesh!" Hattori replied. "OH I'M SORRY IF YOUR ALARM WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY! WHY HAVE AN ALARM IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO GET UP HUH?"
Hattori was out of bed, stretching lazily as he headed towards the bathroom, getting ready as quickly as possible. Fully dressed in a simple T-Shirt and Jeans outfit, Hattori headed into the kitchen grabbing a slice of toast that his older sister made. "So, do you know anything about your new partner?" she asked, moving a few strands of her dark brown hair out of her face. "Other than he's known as a "Delinquent" by the top brass, nothing really." Hattori replied as he took a last bite out of his quick breakfast. "Who knows? He may just be the perfect partner for you! To keep that bighead of yours down a little." His sister giggled. Hattori rolled his eyes, letting out a "whatever" as a response, grabbing both his pair of headphones, his parker coat, and the helmet. Hopping onto his scooter, Hattori made sure he was on time.
“I need to get there by Nine Thirty. And its Eight Fifty right now…shouldn’t be too much if the traffic is okay at least.” He stated as he then grinded to a halt. “Well…god damn it” he huffed as the traffic moved at a slow rate. Checking his watch every two minutes, Hattori became increasingly more inpatient as he waited for the traffic to actually speed up more than the current snail pace. He then looked slyly to his left and right. “I could use an Express way, nobody here is paying attention anyway” Hattori explained to himself as he weighed his options. Clasping both hands together, Hattori closed his eyes. “Tenso!” he uttered, disappearing from the spot. As he opened his eyes, he noticed he had entered the spirit realm, noticing the rather dark, and vivid green and blueish colours that painted the world he was currently in. Spirit Flies moved around, giving light to the darkened realm. “Right, let’s get to the Academy”
Hattori managed to move at a much faster speed than before, a grin etched onto his face. The Spirit Realm wasn’t much different, aside from more vivid colours and contrasting darker places. Whenever it was day in the human world, the spirit realm was night. “Looks like the residents are all asleep right now…” he thought, looking around the streets as he weaved through alleys and roads. “Tenso!” he said as he approached the Academy. “WOAH!” he pushed down on the brakes immediately, not expecting a car to park as he entered the human realm once again. Daigo and Miko walked on by, seeing the young Yokai’s scooter and Hattori in a pile. “You really gotta stop using the Spirit Realm as some fast travel option.” Daigo commented. Hattori stood, dusting himself off from the near accident. “Hehe, at least Headmaster Chosokabe won’t know” He laughed it off knowing full well Chosokabe would somehow know. “Good luck today, Hattori. Let’s hope you have more success with your new partner!” Miko smiled to Hattori. “Yeah, hopefully he isn’t useless” Hattori joked.
The Academy itself was very much hidden as a typical university campus, but underneath the façade hid a powerful order specifically built to police both the Spirit and Human realms whilst hunting down Berserkers, powerful out of control monsters of varying size and power. Hattori enrolled, not liking the backdoor politics his parents played to have his older siblings become ranked Hunters, He wanted to truly test himself and learn more about his peers. Hattori entered the main building, heading towards Kazama’s office. “Hattori! You must sing first before you enter Headmaster Chosokabe’s office” the Secretary stated. As he entered the office, Hattori noticed the large man sitting down, waiting and looking directly at him. “That’s the 25th time you’ve entered the Spirit Realm as a means to travel here on time, you know that’s against Academy Policies” Chosokabe stated as the young Hunter sat down himself. “Yeah, yeah. You would’ve given me the whole “It is unruly of a hunter to be late” speech if I didn’t, so damned if I do, damn if I don’t right?” Hattori asked with a slight grin. Chosokabe was seething. “Well, let’s cut this short shall we? Firstly; a sighting of a Berserker within the human realm, I want you to investigate its supposed lair. Secondly; Let’s introduce you to your new partner.” Chosokabe grinned. “Ogata Yonnosuke….familiar with him?” Hattori’s eyes widened. “Are…are you joking?” Chosokabe’s grin grew wider. “Miss Satomi? Call in The Delinquent…”
