At first, Kenji thought the stage two training would be happening in the same compound as the stage one but he was very wrong.
He and Quickie were now in the back of a van along with some other boys and guards who were armed to the teeth.
Kenji remained quiet throughout the entire journey, his mind was wandering towards if he should escape.
Some of his assumptions about this place were wrong, there was nothing he could be thought here that mattered.
'I need to abandon these people and go on my own.' Kenji thought to himself, but the thought of leaving someone as powerful as Zack behind was stupid.
In apocalypse situation like this, his best chance of survival would be creating a team, a team of strong Metahumans that would not only serve as power sources but also help him take down zombies.
'If my guess is correct, we are probably being escorted to be trained by a higher gang, most likely the parent gang of whatever Mr.Muzuki leads.' Kenji thought to himself.
'If it is like this all over Japan, then we are about to have the most powerful gang war to ever exist.' Kenji thought to himself, he didn't want to be a pawn in the chess game of two gangs.
'I need to form a gang of my own, when the time comes, I need to be strong enough to protect myself from both zombies and humans.' Kenji thought, he released a heavy sigh, drawing the attention of others.
Kenji had finally reached his wits end, he was already too deep in this to escape, and if he didn't escape now, the chances of him escaping in future would be very low.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll survive whatever they throw at us." Quickie said while smiling at Kenji.
Quickie was what most would refer to as a good guy, despite being in one of the worst situations, the smile on his face was still present.
Even when he had the chance to kill Gao, he refused and with how he acted, Kenji could tell that he didn't know he was going to heal, it was a ridiculous gamble but it had definitely paid off.
"How are you sure about that?" Kenji said, what if they were faced with a level 5 zombie on their first day or something else,how then would he escape?
"Well, if you're not confident in your strength and skills, I'm confident in mine, I'll protect you from whatever they throw your way." Quickie said with a confident look.
'People like him are always the first to die, he might make a good human shield in future.' Kenji thought.
"I'm Hikari Yamato but people call me Quickie, nice to meet you." Quickie said with his hands outstretched.
"I'm Kenji Haruta, either name is fine." Kenji said before accepting the handshake.
[Level 3 superspeed copied.]
'Well, his level is definitely not bad.' Kenji thought to himself, someone as fast as Quickie would definitely prove to be a good ally in future.
"We are here." One of the guards said before opening the back of the van and forcing the boys outside.
"Woah." One of the boys beside Kenji said, he never expected such a big difference between training compound one and compound 2.
Unlike the previous compound which was an open space, this one was built like a maximum security prison with hardened steel walls that didn't let anyone see inside or outside.
The place was built from high grade concrete walls capable enough to withstand the power of bombs and was thoroughly fenced by high voltage electric walls that electrocuted whatever touched it.
There were hundreds, if not thousands of armed guards securing the place, to Kenji it was definitely a nightmare.
'If I go in there, I'm not coming out anytime soon.' Kenji thought to himself, just like he had thought, this was not the plan.
Kenji turned his face to whisper into Quickie's ear, "We need to escape this place." Kenji said with a serious look and Quickie nodded.
Even he, wasn't stupid enough to believe that he could run out of this prison if he stepped into it.
'This is probably a black site prison for the top Yakuza families.' Kenji thought, he had heard about such prisons through the dark web and from the pictures he had seen, it was not fun to be in.
[Vantage Sight activated.]
[Mana Slash has been paired with superspeed talent.]
Kenji turned to one of the guards beside him and in the blink of an eye, the guard lost his head.
[+20 EXP]
"ATTACK!!" Kenji shouted, he turned to another guard, ready to end his life in a single attack but this time he had gotten the shock of his life.
A steel bar flew into Kenji's chest from nowhere, sending him flying and crashing straight into the prison.
[-30 HP.]
[Superspeed talent and healing skills are both being used to heal you.]
Kenji pulled the pipe out of his chest in the blink of an eye, there was no time to waste.
"Crap." Kenji said, he had been completely surrounded by hundreds of guards, all of them with their weapons pointed towards him.
"Did you really think you could run away from us?" A man in an all black suit said with a smug smile on his face.
He had jet black hair and eyes that contrasted his white skin, there was a deep scar that ran from below his eye to his mouth, he was what female lead novel readers would describe as a Mafia Lord.
"No, we can't run away from you, but we sure as hell can teleport." One of the other boy said with a smug look on his face.
A blue glint surrounded Kenji and the rest of the boys and just like that, their bodies had vanished.
"Now I know where they keep my brother, there's no use hiding anymore." The boy with the teleportation talent said.
"The four of us are going to put an end to this madness." The boy said with a smile on his face.
"And who are you?" Kenji asked, he had a serious problem with being told what to do.
"Just call me Kamikaze, unlike the rest of you, I have been a meta human for the past 3 years and I think it is time you learned what you are." Kamikaze said and this time the look on his face was serious.
