Rook's eyes widened after seeing the item, yes from the start he wanted a Leather Armor because this armor is an adaptive type, besides being comfortable to wear because the material is strong but flexible so it's easy to move, this armor can auto-equip (can be used alone if the user wants to wear it immediately). without the inventory opening process).
Carlos who had tried the item then saw Rook got the item and immediately patted Rook's shoulder and said, "Try wearing that item, while it's live."
Of course Rook immediately put the item on and when he tried it; his whole body was covered with black clothes made of dark dragon skin.
The audience on Cam-Tube immediately shouted with joy at the coolness of the exoskel, while of course there were many people who were jealous.
"Dear Rook, you'll be 2nd place." Carlos said, patting my shoulder.
"It's okay, it's quite useful anyway."
"Unlike your armor that's still locked."
Yes, even though Carlos' armor is a Legendary type, Carlos's level hasn't reached that level yet. If I'm not mistaken he's still around level 50 right now so he still needs at least another 20 or 30 levels to fully activate the armor. While Rook's current level is still level 50, it's a lot different.
After showing off, they immediately left the venue and headed for the other Party members who were already waiting for us while guarding Vera.
After arriving, Carlos who saw Vera immediately hugged her tightly. Then they were all contacted by the Wavebridge admin that the home gate would be opened, and after that we all Looted all the treasures that were there and went home.
After returning to the Lobby, they were all greeted with applause by many Wavebridge admins along with Joy and Jennie. Then Vera and Buzz-B were immediately evacuated to the Medical Center, the new chairman of Rakesh also immediately clapped in our direction.
"Good raid all of you!!! Good raid!!!!" he shouted while giving a thumbs up.
"Oh yes, the all of you come with me, there are already many journalists who want to cover the Raid this time outside."
"Hahah seriously!!!!"
"Yeah, let's get out everyone!!!"
The exit of the Lobby was opened, then from outside came camera lights that shone on us all, the reporters immediately asked us about today's Raid. Carlos and Rook became the main focus because we were the MVPs in this Raid, they all asked questions from A to Z, then among the reporters who were asking questions suddenly a car appeared out of nowhere and stopped at the end of the road.
After stopping, the car was opened and from the inside out came the members of the court who swiftly walked among them and one of them asked.
"Is Rook here?" he asked swiftly. Everyone was confused by what happened then he spoke again while looking at Rook.
"Is the brother named Rook?" he asked, handing over the court member's logo.
Where from his appearance it was clear that the person speaking was an Examiner whose job was to arrest G-Force users on serious charges and he was escorted by court police.
"Yes, why?" replied Rook, asking back.
"We from the court want to bring you in on the first claim, the H & D Society (Healer and Doctor Society) has judged that you violated your code of ethics as a Healer, then second ..... "
"Yes, I know that, then what's the second, sir?"
" One witness that is a Cam-Tuber viewer has reported that you were seen in the fight earlier.... using Draining Skill!!!!"
Suddenly everyone was shocked and looked at Rook with a scared look, Carlos who was beside me immediately came forward and said.
"Impossible sir!!!! he was just using normal fighting skills," he shouted while blocking me.
"Oh yes!!!! are you sure O... mr. SS Rank , even though you were with him from earlier .... Are you sure that he only uses ordinary skills?" replied the court man while intimidating Carlos.
"So how is Brother Rook? Are you ready to be brought to court?" asked the father, staring intently.
"Ready sir, come on!!!" I replied, handing over both hands.
Rook's hands were immediately handcuffed and he was immediately taken to the car, Carlos who was still dissatisfied went straight to Rook's shoulders and said.
"Why did you turn yourself in? You didn't say a word of defense at all?" he asked, panting.
The other court members who were in the immediate vicinity pushed him down and replied fiercely.
" No !!!! All words of defense and prosecution can only be said at the time of the trial !!!! "
They all went back to guarding Rook and after they put him in the car they immediately stepped on the gas.
Carlos who was thrown down was immediately caught by the other members then he reached into his pocket and took out his Smartphone and called someone.
"Hello sister!!!! brother sister are you?"
(Pause for a moment)
"I was on the road on my way to temporary detention to see Rook."
"Brother has seen the news earlier."
"Yeah I've seen everything, including what happened to you. Me and the Head Looters Center are heading there."
" Sis !! How did this happen ? How come all members of the court came ? " Carlos asked as he ran towards the basement of the building .
"So this is Carl, the one who reported Rook earlier…."
"Why are you here?" he said as he ran.
"According to information, it turns out that the person who reported Rook named J.A was not an ordinary person who complained in an unclear manner."
"What do you mean brother?" Carlos asked confused.
"After I traced his track record from his personal data and social media accounts, it turned out that this person was a follower of Normalism*."
" What !!!! Normalists !!! They demand another Looter ? " Carlos shouted in shock .
All the Party members who were running after Carlos finally got tired because Carlos was faster. Arriving at the basement, he immediately told the driver to start the car and go after his brother.
"Damn these normal people again!!!" Carlos shouted in his heart.
If you don't know, Normalism is an understanding that is widely embraced by normal people who do not have the power of skills or are Unskilled. Where people who adhere to this ideology aspire to eliminate all people who have skills and also the monsters they consider as "Impurities" or "Stains" caused by the appearance of the Gate for the first time, and they want to destroy the Gate and eliminate the G-Force themselves which they regard as "Poison" that has corrupted this world.
The reason they are hated a lot is because in the past many people with skills were captured and mistreated by them. This notion was created by an organization/community who thought that skills or previously referred to as superpowers were fictional things that should not be realized in the real world, so don't be surprised if this organization has succeeded in closing several comic companies, eliminating films, and even blocking websites about superheroes. .
Carlos, who was on the road, could only fold his arms and pray for Rook's safety, while the other Carlos brother was talking to the Head of the Center and directly discussed this case.
"So how is this Headmaster? If he is to be arrested, the reconnaissance operations in the 13th Division will be disrupted even if he is not strong, this mission could be leaked."
"Yes I know, then please put me in touch with the Secret Division right now."
(Back to Rook's place)
In front of the car, someone wrote a message to someone, then the person pressed the home button and changed the application because his friend called him.
"Hey!! Don't keep texting, you can get hacked later!!!"
"Ah, don't panic, I'm just sending a message to my mother."
"Haish!!! Just turn it off, you'll be distracted again, we're told to secure this person now." he replied while pointing his thumb at Rook.
"This guy huh!! He's the one who said that rank jump right?"
"Yes!! I've seen the video, this child's behavior is indeed "Out of the box "."
(In the back, where Rook is being handcuffed accompanied by the court soldiers.)
"So are you sure, that you don't use skills like that at all?"
"Hmm.... not after all if I'm a Drainer, I can't cast any drain skills in close combat (that's the weakness)."
("Hmm... fortunately I used Reverse Heal in close combat, it's a bit difficult for them to see the gap, but.... who was the one who reported me? and how could he see any evidence of Reverse Heal use?") I thought. seriously.
(On the other hand, it looks like someone is having a meeting)
"Hohoho.... Soon the Skill Users and whatever hero organizations they made will collapse" said the person.
"Hmm… you can also use their own rules to trap them."
"Hehehe ... yes too, but I'm a bit confused.. Why should he?" he asked while looking at Rook's photo.
"Well, it's not good, ... to abort rising artists before they grow into big trees," he answered coldly.
