Chapter 3 - ch2

Albert pov:

We had evacuated most of the people we could. Since there were many deaths due to unexpected break in this city. I with my young teammate Alivia were searching for the remaining monsters left here.

"There's signal of 10 low class monsters coming from 100 metre away." Alivia said looking at the screen while laying on the back seat and watching the device.

"Send the location to jeep map" A message popped on the map screen and it showed the location of monsters. They were straight after a right turn . I turned the vehicle violently that Alivia fall from her seat.

"Hey what you are doing old man, drive properly" She shouted

"Just speeding up so if there is someone there so we can save them" i said

"as if they will be alive" she said getting back on her seat.

I didn't said anything and increased the speed and went in the straight. Soon a number of monsters were to be seen. They were attacking something with their huge claw. There was a little boy there. He dodged their attack and the monster claw hit the pole and the pole fall on the glass mirror of the shop. The pieces of glass shattered and fall on them. It didn't hurt them but the kid there was bleeding. Watching that i brought the gun from the box .

"Watch this Alivia i guess I was right someone is here and alive" Alivia raised her eyebrow upon hearing it and she got up from the seat.

She opened the window and watched it herself.

While she was watching that boy i opened the top of the jeep and stand up on the chair taking my gun in hand.

"Take this you monsters" i said it with a laugh and shooted at them.

" Don't be reckless you old man" Alivia said while jumping from her seat and taking control of steering.

She pressed the brake and the jeep skated before it stopped. I threw the gun on the seat and took out my hammer. i pressed the hammer hard and my suit blue lines started shining. It means it's ready for the show.

i jumped from the jeep and smashed one of the monster which came in front of me.

Alivia also took her gun and started shooting from the jeep. It took us some time to kill all the monster. After killing the monster their dark smoke cleared and their real body was revealed. Soon the real body also turned into dust.

I looked at the boy who was still watching us . He was suprised. More than that i am the one who is surprised that he survived till now.

i raised my eyebrows and touched my moustache while approaching the boy. "didn't expected some one to be here and the top of that alive. Well you don't look so well. But don't worry you  did well surviving." i said while patting his head.And he felt unconsciously. He was still breathing so that means the he was still alive.

I Carried the boy to the jeep. Putting him into the seat where Alivia sat.

Alivia looked at the boy and said "this boy is not in good condition we should hurry up and return to the camp Margaret will treat him."

i modded and put our weapon back into the jeep.

"yes let's go back"

We arrived back at the camp. All the survivor were staying here until next airship came and take them to Archana City. Alivia and i reached to the medic team. Margaret who is head of medic team was waiting for us was there.

"So you have came back" she said with a smile of relief. "And who is that kid in your hand" i put the kid on the on the bed for patients.

"We found this guy surrounded by monsters but you won't believe that he survived there alone"

She was surprised and she approached the kid. She touched his injury and called for one of the nurse and asked for something.

After the nurse left she looked at the boy again. And she raised her eyebrow and backed away from the bed.

" How's this possibile" she said

"You are realising now what this kid have faced and survived" i said her but she was looking at the boy wound. I watched the boy wound and i was surprised myself.

"Wait really hows this possible" The boys wound. They were getting closed itself slowly. And soon it closed completely not even leaving a mark behind.

Alivia was surprised herself. Alivia tablet which she used to detect monsters starting beeping. it sound become louder.She approached me in hurry " Look at this" she said in a tensed tone. Looking at the her tab it was showing reading of the monsters.

The way her tablet shows that monsters are here by tracing their energy which we call Mana. In humans this energy present is almost negligible but some have more mana than normal humans . Those people are like us who are able to fight monster with our tech.

The detector was pointing towards the boy who was laid on the bed.

It can't be that kid is a monster but then what is this mana level.

It is exceeding the amount of mana human and monster posses.

"Is your tab broken" i asked

Sweat was coming from my face after watching the uncountable mana it showed.

"No way its working perfectly fine " she said.

We all looked at each other and then looked at the kid.

"Just what are you kid" i said.

Margaret came close and observed the kid. She looked at me then, she said "What should we do with this kid"

"What do you think we should?" i replied, since I don't know what to do.

"We should give him to biotech department, they might make something useful of this kid. Maybe we will be able to get some uper hand against monster."

"No way are you serious" i punched the table " Those guys are just same as monsters, killing every volunteer and saying they are trying to save us." no whatever happens i can't handle this kid to them.

biotech department is worst place. They take many kids for volunteering saying that they will make human species much more stronger to find monsters. But in the end very few survived. Thankfully it was stopped by the government after finding these loss.

"So what, let this kid go outside and be among normal people" she paused for a sec " as a walking bomb"

"what do you mean ?"

"By looking at the amount of this kid have , if he can't control it , he will face what other kids had faced."

"you mean mana explosion!" This is something which happeneddepartment started growing amount of mana force fully. Kids who were not able to control this sudden growth were killed in the process.

"But that when it was done forcefully" this kid mana is natural and even if he was one of the experiment of Research department this kid would have already died.

"i will make sure to keep this kid safe" to keep this kid safe i will "I will keep this kid" i announced

"Whatt!" Both Alivia and Margaret said in suprise at same time.There mouth and eyes were wide open.

I am pretty sure that this kid was orphan or if he had family i doubt they also survived.

"Margaret please help me" i said

"Are you really serious about this!" i nodded

"Do whatever you want, have you ever listened to me. But we must do something with his mana." she touched the sleeping kids arm.

"We must help him to control his mana" she bite her lips "But how?"

"Maybe this suit will help us" i pointed at the battlesuit i was wearing.

this suit helps us to convert our mana to strengthen our physical abilities. Since those who wears it have greater mana than average human, they are able to use mana as fuel for this suit. This tech didn't existed when biotech department started human experiment but now maybe we will be able to keep this kid alive.

" Whenever his mana will get uncontrollable we will use this suit on him. "

"This is great idea" she holding her chin

"I didn't knew you were so smart" she gave a half smile

"But do you think normal suits can handle this amount of mana" her smile faded.

i lowered my head with sad expression and looked at the kid.

"Don't worry" she patted my shoulder and passed through me to get near the kid.

"Anyway maybe Jesica might be able to help us creating a good suit for him "

"Who is she?" i asked

"she is my close friend in research and development department"

"And she will help us keep his existence secret also" she smiled

"Is that really possible?" i quickly closed the distance between us and held her hand. My head was too close to her head. Her face turned red and she pushed me.

"Ok now let me go there seems to be more patients." saying that she went to other patients camp.

"Oye old man" Alivia came and pulled my cloth. "seems like you are having a child without marrying" she smirked

"What do you mean , I am just keeping this kid with me so he can remain safe from being a test subject"

"Well well " she shrugged.

the sound of glass shattering came from behind. the water jar kept near the kid bed was broken . And the kid was sitting on the bed staring at me .

"Where I am?"
