Chapter 25Maverick and Talia went to eat and they also talked for a while. Spending time to talk and catch up with one another. After eating, Talia went to meet up with her teammates and then Maverick went back to his room.Talia met up with her teammates and began going through the events of the mission of yesterday. Trying to access their strength , weakness and team coordination ,so that they can be better prepared for circumstances just like that. And all through the meeting, Jiren was looking at Talia suspiciously.Maverick returned to his room with a smile on his face since he had enjoyed the time with Talia. Despite being younger than he was in his past life when he was in a relationship with Talia, his feelings for her still remained. But he promised himself he won’t let his feelings control him again this time around.The moment Maverick was alone in his room and was settled, he began thinking again. Thinking about everything that had happened, the differences and changes t
Chapter 26The following day, Maverick got dressed and left the room given to him in the facility. He was wearing basic combat clothes for government talenteds. It consisted of black military pants, black skin tight black turtleneck long sleeves, and then an armour like chest jacket. His ankles and knees were fastened with protectors just Incase of falls. Fingerless gloves and then a black boot. Wrapped around his waist were small pouches that held some items. There was a dagger sheath around his waist and another wrapped on his legs, as well as other weapons too. And then finally a small one armed backpack that contained food and other necessary items. He was wondering why he was dressed like this, since this was how people ready to enter portals for a mission dressed, it was the basic uniform unless you opt to get yours customised. He was certain he wasn’t going into a portal since he did not have a team nor had he been officially given a class. He didn’t object though since it wa
Chapter 27Maverick Followed Hermione who seemed to be in command of the mission and James into a black vehicle and then drove off to where the portal was.On the way, Maverick kept checking out the weapons he was gifted and was trying to get used to them.In his past life, he had always used a sword and never a gun nor a Katana. Looking at the design of both weapons, he could tell that they were both very good weapons with very good quality. Deep down he couldn't wait to use both of them,since he had been fighting bare handed ever since. He was especially looking forward to using the Katana more. They arrived at the location of the portal, it was about 30 mins drive from the bureau facility, since it was just in the next town. They alighted from the vehicle and saw that the portal had already been quarantined so no-one entered it. They were other lower class talenteds guarding the place so nothing came out. It was only a matter of time until monsters came out of the portal, since w
Chapter 28Hermione was now wiping her sword clean from the blood of the creatures that had stained it. Next to her were several dead bodies of the creatures she had killed, all diced up cleanly. James was reloading his guns since he had used some of them to equally kill some of the monsters present. Maverick just looked, he had not moved from his position and was quite impressed as to how they had easily dispatched the creatures. But Maverick knew their troubles were yet to come.'I've been to this world before through this portal, and these ugly bastards were not really the problem. The problem was the monsters that hunted the ugly bastards. This kind of portal was not supposed to have opened yet, it only opened up until several years after everything when they discovered that there was a thing called portal anomalies.'"Hey new guy, don't space out again or you'll get killed. Let's get moving, these creatures are the least of our problems, they are nothing but fodder, the real de
Chapter 29Maverick, Hermione and James arrive at the location of the energy core and just like the survivor had said, the hellhounds were all over the place. Many were snacking on the remains of the creatures they had killed and the others were either taking a nap or just resting.The place was an open field at the bottom of a mountain, there was a cave entrance on the mountain, but the energy core was outside, just at the entrance of the cave. "I count 21 of them, I sense the presence of another one inside the cave, a total of 22." James said as he scouted the place. "That seems easy, let's finish this and go home" Hermione said, with no epitome of fear. To her see didn't see the monsters as anything worth stressing over."wait, shouldn't we observe them for a while first. I mean, so we can be able to understand something about them at least." Maverick said, trying to stall. He had seen the class and knew that they were not gonna be as easy as the last ones, since they had eaten a
Chapter 30 Hermione breathed heavily as she drew her Katana from the ground, she had a few scratches and bruises but other than that she looked fine.She had managed to defeat all the hell hounds that had assaulted her. She looked around and saw the corpses of the hellhounds she had decapitated with her talent. There were all cut apart cleanly, nicely diced into cubes like a cutting machine had actually done the cutting.which was one of her talent's techniques and a sword skill, she had immediately eliminated all of them when she had an opportunity to do so.Her talents allowed her to cut almost everything with the right tool. Hence why she preferred using a Katana. She does not just cut, but she is able to project the slash to any distance she wants. That is, she can wave her sword here and something 10 metres away or more will be cut cleanly, like she was there cutting it. She is able to move the slashes she makes in the air, in a straight or curved path to any location of her ch
Chapter 31Maverick had blocked the sonic explosion with a force shield from his talent, but the power was still enough to drive him back and crash him to the ground forcefully. Before he could regain himself, the hound had sent the laser his way and his eyes widened in surprise, but he managed to roll out of it in the nick of time. However the explosion from the laser got to him since he was right within its range. James started firing at the hound but his bullets didn't seem to faze it, they were bouncing off the black aura that was around its skin,it was acting like a protective armour for the hound. James clicked his teeth in irritation as he saw that his attacks were not working and Then he threw his guns away since they were now useless. The hound opened its mouth and shot several sonic blasts at him but he was moving very fast and avoided them all, but still suffered some scratches from the explosions that came with them."Earth Cleaver slash"Hermione yelled from a distance,
Chapter 32Maverick, James and Hermione came out of the portal, looking all battered than when they had gone in. All their clothes were ripped apart and burnt out, the only solid piece of clothing they still had left was the armour like chest jacket they wore for added protection. Mavericks Was worse since one of his boots was missing. The moment they came out they found the two survivors receiving medical treatment and they were pleased to know that they will be alright. They took them in immediately to run tests just in case they had come across any foreign contaminants that may be harmful to mankind.Afterwards they entered their vehicle and drove back to the bureau facility to give their reports. On the way back, Hermione looked at Maverick and then smiled.."you did good today Maverick, I'm glad you did not die""Thanks. I'm glad we made it out alive too." Maverick said, as he relaxed on the chair, closing his eyes and then drifted off to sleep. James didn't really say anything
