Frank got frustrated. it's the first time a woman hit him. he never felt this much humiliation. still he obeyed and forcefully swallowed his anger.
"what? got a problem with that?" the lady who hit him looked as irritated as the other two.
"NO MAAM!" Frank said getting up from the ground, but didn't make any eye-contact.
it's so frustrating yet he couldn't do anything. he never was a coward but now he understands that that was because he never felt intimidated with those punks. she is a real dead a genuinely trained commando.
"good.. now come with us, we don't have time to waste on you." the lady in the middle said before turning her back and rushing out.
Frank was surprised at her sudden turn of character. he thought they are just looking down on him. but now he understand that that's just a common thing as he didn't hold a candle against them. it's better if he just obey them, and don't cause any trouble.
he was brought out by the three and became the spot light of the entire unit.
the prisoners looked at Frank with envy.
they soon reached the other end of the corridor and went outside.
after checking out their I'd the guard let them out. Frank looked at the vehicle in front of them.
it has total of 6 wheels and it was well armed like a tank. it was pretty cool. for Frank who is interested in cars.. it picked up his interest. it looked a little bulky but the aerodynamics are well managed and the design looked sturdy.
"go, get on the back.. don't try to do anything funny or.." the previous lady who hit him glared at him with killing intent.
gulping his frustration he sat on the back seat with the lady who hit him before. his hands were still cuffed so he couldn't do anything funny.
"so.. what's your name again?" asked the lady from his side.
"it's Frank.." he said while looking out of the window.
"huh?.. tsk, my name is Susan, here,she is our unit commander Jennifer. and the lady on his side is also in our unit, Miyuki. we are in charge of the 93rd block." she said.
Frank didn't reply just nodded. Susan gritted her teeth at his behavior, she wanted to hit him again. but didn't as she looked like bullying the weak.
the car reached at a base pretty similar to the previous one. but comparably small.
they went inside. Frank looked at the surroundings. it wasn't like a prison at all.. it's a well organized military base. there are some people wearing a different type of uniform and sun glasses.
he entered the hall. and for his surprise, he was there alone.
after waiting for a few minutes, Jennifer entered the room with a laptop and a crystal ball in her hands. she sat quietly on the bench in front of him and opened it.
"Frank.. come here." she called him shaking him out of his dilemma.
"yes"he stood in front him.
"now put your right palm on this pad" she pointed at the crystal ball.
he looked confused but reluctantly put his hands.
*swink* with a weird sound the ball turned brown.
Frank was surprised but didn't utter a word.
"hmm.. 'E' rank huh? okay fine." she said as she put back her crystall ball and uploaded his data on her computer.
"Umm.. What's that?" Frank asked hesitantly.
Jennifer smirked, and stood up from her spot and pointed her had towards the wall.
"look." she said as a glowing mass of fire erupted from her palm. which turned brigter with each passing sacond.
Frank was shocked it's more or like a myth. but he was witnessing something supernatural.
"this is.." frank said.
"this is fire element. we are elementals.. now you are a elemental too."
she said before launching the fireball to the wall.
the fire ball rushed out in a speed that almost made it impossible to notice with normal eyes.
*boom* the wall got destroyed.
"th-this..wh-what is..." Frank was dumbfounded.
"haaha. don't need to be afraid. you are just like us with proper training you will be able to do this."
"what? i can do that too?"
"yes..although you have only a E rank aptitude, you can do that too."
she said while smiling .
it took a while for frank to comprehend the situation. he then took a deep breath.
"so.. what's the catch?" he said making an eye contact.
Jennifer smirked before turning back.
"Frank i have a offer for you... I've looked at your records.. and i think i can give you a chance."
"what do you mean?"
"..come with me..it's better if i show you first."
she said before leading him to the staff room from the hall.
she turned on the large screen monitor on the wall. he patiently sat on the chair.
the screen showed a clip, there are people dressed in similar uniforms he had seen outside of the hall. some holding futuristic guns while some holding swords, spears and other weapons.
there were a dozens of them, in front of then there are some weird creatures, and undead humans.
the creatures have different appearance from the other.
they looked like Japanese mythical monsters.
"this.." Frank frowned it looked like some frictional movie.. but after witnessing te element powers, he had doubts.
"demons.. as you can see hese are demons. this earth isn't as simple as it looks.. it's just that we cover up for them that's why normal people don't know about these creatures."
"demons huh? so you fight demons? what is this all about? i mean the fight. why are they attacking us?"
"sigh..
