Chapter 26 - Chapter 26

With each team receiving what to do and where to go, many were already en route and the fee that remain were all in their various rooms all preparing.

Claire wanting to see how the whole team moved came out of the security room where they were all gathered along with Chris who was situated to move at theat time.

"Huh, what are you doing..." Chris inquired with a strange face but decided not to complete his statement.

" What else if not to see how you guys leave " she answered bluntly.

" Oh, might as well take your time " he said as he turned around to head towards his own room. As he moved Claire also followed behind him amazed and curiously looking at the designated Block in the whole area she walked through.

Chris on the hand felt slightly uncomfortable with someone following him without his consent and so he couldn't help but complain

" Why do you walk behind me? "

"Huh, me?... we just happen to walk the same pathway. Don't mind me and just continue" she answered feeling awkward evidently she felt caught it the act.

" Well that's that, then. You'll need to end your tour here since ability users can't come here without permission or order from above" He paused in his tract and warned.

"Alright, what a shame . Was planning on exploring more place" she thought as she had to take a step back and return to the security room.

When she got back, she immediately begin explaining her curiosity about each place she had passed by to everyone in the room.

" You know what guys, this whole place is bigger than the Mansion. It's on a whole different level"

"Yeah tell me about " Vincent scoffed disinterested.

" I'm serious. Most blocks for resident are on the left while the right side are for the medicals and research. It's massive how one could even think of developing the structure of this underground. Such a shame I could not count how man blocked there were on the left"

"Well when you have enough contributions you'll have access to explore more. To be honest based on how much of a connection you have with most higher ups here I doubt it would take long before that happens" holly weirdly comforted Claire . The others just laughed at her curiosity even rein wasn't an exception but that didn't last long as Ryan who had his whole PTSD about Athalia enters with his whole body slightly trembling.

"Oh how's the mask" yunlin asked.

" Wasn't bad ... anyways it seems like we would..." Ryan who couldn't make a complete sense in his words was interrupted by a grab by his shoulder which made his whole body slump to the ground. He fell unconscious.

" Well...huh. I didn't do anything" The figure which had just appeared out of nowhere said.

" Oh, teacher. Why are you here?" Oscar asked.

" Didn't any of you read the second notification sent?" He asked ignoring Oscar's greetings.

" Huh, there was a ..."

Ding"

Ding"

The notification of each device rang out just in time to render the figure speechless, cutting off the next words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Ehn well since you've all received it. I'll be in charge of the training session and would also oversee the location we are going to use for training"

"Crook huh, what a strange..." Claire was about to say something which could be considered offensive, luckily, Rein used her ability to seal her mouth.

Crook at first frown at the beginning of her words. Since it started of in a disrespectful tone but thankfully he wasn't so unreasonable and just brushed past it with only a frown.

" The training is for a while 8 months. The first 5 months for a short training session and the latter 3 months for applied field training".

"Excuse me sir but do we really need the training. I mean I can only say that it's Rein, Ryan, Holly and Claire that needs the training ". Sonia complained seeing that as an unfair decision.

" Is that what you think, no I mean that thinking is very low" Crook rebuked her immediately

"What sort of words are coming from you. You need no more training. If there were people who ought to not be part of this training it'd be Vincent and Oscar. They've been through this twice and now they're going through a third time, fuck, this is why I didn't want to agree with this". Crook said removing the cloak her was wearing to reveal his face ,

"And why mention those four like they aren't as better as you, listen Holly escaped assassination of a group all by herself without back up few years back when she was just about to join in with us in Mexico without receiving any special training though she had many scars from that time then what about those siblings what about them. Either you like it or not you all are training under me and it'll be a 3 phase training nothing lesser than that" Crook in great anger said.

He had already been pissed off by the notification he had received in his room and now after his confrontation he ended up being more pissed but still helpless.

"...."

The whole place fell dead silent, seeing as how Mr. Crook lashes out at Sonia who just complained a bit was evident that he was more uncomfortable with the all settings than anyone.

" My sincerest apologies sir. I was too over my head" sonia willing tried to make amends and cool down the already heated conversation no that it was one.
