Sorry, I felt like "1st POV" would be a better way to tell the storyline I'm making. The story might be better this way and this is a new arc so I think I'm allowed to do this. Sorry to those "3rd POV" LIKERS. It just doesn't feel right from that POV.

After a few days in I.C.E.D City Arial starts to wonder.

"Shouldn't I be doing something incredible like fighting powerful enemies or something?"

"Meow."

"Your right Aqua. Peaceful days are much better."

Aqua who I've picked up at my job was getting healthier by the day and growing healthy also, eating delicious cat snacks that were made by neighbors next to me. Turns out Michale was a human which I should be calling an android by now.

She was in a revolution for the rights of androids and humans but in the world, she came from a different world. Humans and Android were being treated as objects by a dominant species called the "Voltrons" in that world which I'm not going to detail with.

The revolution didn't work and somehow her mind or whatever transferred to a new body from a different world.

"Well, either way, today like any other day is a relaxing day. Lying on this soft cozy couch, watching this amazing TV which is in a hologram. Watching the news on what's been happening in this city. Well, it feels like a small country knowing how big the city is….Yep just another day in this city…Hey Masia call Rose"

I don't think Rose is busy right now.

*Beep Boop*

[Calling Rose]

[Dialing...]

*Click*

"Hey Arial what's up!"

"Hey Rose so I was wondering-"

*Explosion*

"Enemy fire!! Fireback!!"

I could hear beams and shots could be heard with the sounds of buildings falling which was most likely from the beam. Some were screaming strange things.

"Kamikaze you motherf**kers!!!!!" Background person.

"So what did you want to ask!?" Speaking loudly.

"You know what I'll call you later"

"Alright, I'll hear you later! All of you f88king fall back do you want to disintegrate or something fall the f**k back!!!!"

[Beep...Beep...Beep...Click]

"I called at the wrong time there. I should go and do some missions at least once."

I'll talk while walking. In this city, there are long hologram boards. Where you post something, it's going to be in the hologram. The board had tons of missions that you could choose from starting from top to bottom EX, SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Those are the rankings of the mission. EX is for the unknown missions where you have no idea what you're getting into. You should all know what the rest of the ranks should mean.

There are different kinds like Investigation, Hunting, Sabotage, packing materials, etc. Rose is Ranked E. Low than you all expected huh. I'm only ranked G. Yes I said that right I'm rank G. I'm not suited for combat but more on the side of doing Rescue missions, picking materials from dangerous places, Protector, and some other things.

Even if I'm stronger in any way everybody will just start from the bottom rank getting when doing missions. I still remember when the instructor told me these things I barely understood anything he said. Well, everything he says is much more informative and accurate.

"Now Let's see I need to check my status right now. Status."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Still updating.....]

---------------------------------------------------

Well, it makes sense it's updating. This is a new technology that was made just about 3 years ago.

And it's made too look like a wristwhatch.

Now let's talk about how things work around this city. First of all, every citizen of this city must at least do one mission each month, or else they would well be forced to do a mission or get kicked out of the city. The city or I.C.E.D can't let normal people know so they get silenced. Everything can't be all nice and peaceful. I mean come on there are people with powers in this city.

The people that can get in the city have to get injected with some type of fluid. It's not like chips that are embedded into you since fluid or liquid would go inside your body fusing into every part of your organ. This way it could tell you your body condition and control those that go overboard with their power. Now those with bodies that don't have fluid. The fluid integrates into them no matter what they're made of even those that aren't made out of physical life forms. I couldn't get any information on this fluid. I would have to go into a science major similar to that to get in.

Oh by the way did I forget there was an academy for different majors. For example, there are majors for Science, Research, Combat, Ranger, Spy, etc.

"Hmm eh why not I'm going to join the academy? I don't think that age doesn't matter in that academy anyway. First I need to focus on doing the missions right now. Now, where is it."

I looked around and saw the board.

"Ah found it."

I ran over to the board checking on what kind of missions there are right now. I looked at the board and a square box-like shape was shown. It started to show a mission that was suitable for me.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Looking at all the missions there seem to be simple missions any normal person could do. Well, this is a disappointment...These are all like job interviews. I thought there would be some fun jobs…"
