Chapter 32 - A strange interrogation

The rest of the group is seen running further into the museum, "Where is he anyway? I don't want to run anymore!" Sakonori complained, "There he is!" Satoya said, pointing at Ludwig in an empty room, emitting an ominous aura. 

"Found you at last." Satoya said to Ludwig, slightly exhausted. "You brought the others?" Ludwig demanded.

"I have a feeling you might kill me, so I have got back up." Satoya said as he was aware of how powerful Ludwig is, and also suspicious of what he is intending to do with him. Ludwig scoffed, "No need, as I only anticipated you to arrive, furthermore, I wanted you here to test you." Ludwig said, "What do you mean?" Satoya demanded an answer.

"The reason is, the void hunters committee requires you to pass an exam, a physical, a mental, and intelligence, but of course that is an excuse that I have said to the higher ups or known as the cadres." Ludwig said, the cadres are the highest political authority inside the committee.

"But this is when the tricky part comes in." Ludwig pointed out, "I had my younger brother Abel to stall the others, but I didn't expect for Isaac to be so full of himself and fight him head on." Ludwig also warned. 

"So are you suggesting that I send them back to help him? And why me only?" Satoya asked him while still being prepared to conjure up his sword.

Ludwig simply nodded, and so Satoya turned around to the rest of the group, he gestured to the group to go back, and they started retreating back.

"The only reason why I only want you here yourself is because I know you're the one capable of holding onto this information." Ludwig asked, "You guys never joined the committee, although you technically have, Lionel never made you guys official members, and those quarters he gave you were already empty, this was also a specific request from Rin." Ludwig continued as the rest of the group left to aid Isaac.

Meanwhile where Isaac and Abel were fighting, the group was still sprinting back. "God! How durable are you!?" Isaac yelled while sending a barrage of punches at Abel's chest, but Abel suddenly smashed his halberd into Isaac's side blasting him into another room destroying numerous artifacts and relics. 

"S rank? Please tell me he was lying, this is the most overwhelming "S rank" I have ever seen." Isaac thought to himself, even though Isaac has never seen a S rank fight, other than a couple while he was wandering off around the headquarters and saw a ruckus of 2 S ranks fighting each other in the main lobby, he never saw them go all out, only exchanging a few punches before Lionel intervened to stop the fight. But he saw Abel in the air above him aiming for a devastating strike, but then Johnathan came in the nick of time and landed a kick to the side sending him back crashing through a wall. 

"I think I sprained my ankle with that kick.." Johnathan said as his right leg was shaking from the shock, then the others arrived to meet Isaac. "So where's Satoya?" Isaac asked, "Ludwig is interrogating Isaac or something, but Johnathan, weren't you a VHC member?" Edward said before asking him.

"Huh? Hell no, I only saw one drunkard with what I now know as the VHC uniform in the middle of the streets stumbling everywhere." Johnathan mentioned as he was scratching his head.

Suddenly Abel slammed his halberd during their conversation sending them all far back. Edward threw coin sized discs onto the ground which turned into turrets that fired onto Abel, but he lunged and grabbed a turret and destroyed it with his hand, and threw his Zweihander at the other. 

"This guy is crazy, the hell?" Edward thought as he threw more coin sized discs onto the ground, Johnathan conjured up a mass of energy which appeared to be part of his calibre's ability, and just yelled out "Orb of destruction!" Which ended up causing a car sized explosion that completely blinded everyone, despite according to him it being a ability relating to his calibre, Rin never really considered it one and just thought his calibre is just either very hard to differentiate between calibre and normal energy manipulation so he just let him say it's his calibre abilities.

After the flash of light subsided, Rayna charged at him and swung her sword, but due to the poor durability of the sword (she damaged it a ton during her and the group's ambush from the G.A.A.) it snapped rendering it useless other than her throwing it infront of his face to block his view before Isaac ran and landed a punch that cracked his helmet.
