What a boring day. Reborn thought as he stepped down on Mafia Land. Usually he won't come over to this entertainment land pertaining to the Mafiaso, but today, he had someone he needed to visit, and it managed to make him travel all the way out here.
On arrival, the reception at Mafia Land was as friendly as it could be. Was it him, or is the mafiaso at Mafia Land gazing at him with admiration and respect? Reborn did not let that get into his head, as it was unimportant to take note of. Hmph, after all, I am the world's best hitman and katekyoushi. With some requests to some obliging mafia personnel in charge of the entertainment land, Reborn had managed to arrange his lodgings and food here, even though it was not going to be a long visit. "Have a nice day, Reborn-san!" said the receptionist cheerfully as Reborn left the office counter.
Reborn-shaped balloons hung in the air within his line of vision as he stepped out, heading for the underpass. Who ever knew that the mafiaso would accept a tiny little baby as the top hitman these days... even though I was once an adult, thought Reborn. The feelings of unease and anger broiled up once again as he thought of the curse he was under. I'll just visit that person first, before everything starts for the race to get the curse undone. Reborn hopped on the underpass train, in order to get behind the Mafia Land.
Upon arrival, Reborn's expectations did not fail. A blond-haired baby with a blue pacifier is shouting at a group of six agents, who Reborn suspected, are new members of the COMSUBIN sent to him for training, judging from the nervous looks and trembling hands these newbies have. I can wait for him to finish... However it would be too boring if I just stay here like this... Reborn plucked a stone up and threw it with his might at Colonello.
As expected, Colonello anticipated his attack and used his bulky rifle to knock it back while teaching the newbies. "See? Do not get caught off guard, kora! Even if he looks defenceless or stunningly beautiful, you guys are to think everyone, except your team mates as enemies! Kora!" As usual, thought Reborn. But he is not going to leave it like that. "Hora, Colonello, long time no see!" Reborn leaped into the air, aiming a kick towards Colonello. "Kora, Reborn! What brings you here?" Anticipating it, Colonello blocked Reborn's kick and aimed an uppercut. Reborn swiftly dodged and swing down, landing on his feet, before giving another left punch. "Ciaossu, Colonello, training again in this desolate place?"
Colonello swerved to the right, and gave a right hook upwards. Reborn blocked it this time and continued to serve punches and kicks. "Damn you, Reborn! I am busy here!" Colonello cursed, as he did the same thing. Both of them managed to continue fighting like this without landing a punch on each other, until Colonello striked out a punch, which Reborn stopped with his palm, taking the full shock. Frighteningly strong as usual, Reborn observed with a grin. Colonello grinned back, stepping back and addressed the dumbfounded newbies, "Kora! You guys! Go for 20 laps round this island within 15 mins and report back to me!"
"You're too soft, Colonello. You should be more stricter with their PT training. I would do this usually." Reborn said, and ordered the newbies, "Climb up and down the mountain for 10 times!" The trainees hesitated as they assessed the conflicting command given, as they could not refuse to do it from Reborn. "Reborn! What are you trying to do, kora?" Colonello glared at Reborn. For once, he looked as if he was about to defend his juniors. "I am not soft too! I usually do this! You guys, go scale the mountains, hunt the tiger inside the jungle there and give me his hide, all without guns or swords! Use your brains and return here within 1 hour, kora!"
The trainees gasped among themselves, some turning pale. But neither Reborn nor Colonello make any gesture to change their fate, and it seems if they do so, their job is just going to turn nastier, hence the trainees, with a leader at the helm, left for the jungle. "Now the pests are gone, kora! Reborn! Tell me what the heck you're doing here, kora!" Colonello asked Reborn, smiling slightly at seeing his friend after so long.. Tilting the edge of his hat slightly, Reborn looked at Colonello seriously and said, "It is regarding the guy in the iron hat, and our curse."
