Anne still doubted Sisca's words. James had no basis in fighting, surely he would find it difficult to train like Anne was doing now. "James will get beat up." The blonde woman said with a frivolous smile. Sisca took a regenerator serum from her pocket. "You're the same way, battered. Catch this!" Sisca threw the serum and Anne caught it. Anne looked at the object in her hand, then furrowed her brows. She felt that it shouldn't be used on small wounds like this. The woman wearing a white sports bra pocketed the serum, not intending to use it. Sisca surprised to see that. "Why aren't you using it? I dare to beat you up because i brought that serum for you. You need to use it to get better!" Sisca protested. The sexy woman in front of Sisca only replied with a small, haughty smile. Instead, she returned to her boxing stance. "That serum would be very useful in a dangerous situation. Wouldn't it be a shame to use it on this small wound?" She said. Sisca tapped her own forehead, s
Axel chuckled mysteriously. He laughed as he continued to crouch down and stare at the tiny ants walking hand in hand. To Henry, it bothered him a lot."You're not planning anything bad, are you?" asked Henry suspiciously.Axel glared at the ants and chuckled even louder. He then killed the ants one by one by squeezing them with his index finger. Honestly, it was not a comfortable sight for Henry."L-little ants. Destroyed! D-dead!" he said with satisfaction.Henry felt a tense aura from Axel. This wasn't the only time he had behaved like this. He crouched down."You don't have to kill those innocent ants, Axel." Henry held Axel's wrist. Making the man become quiet. Axel was a person with mild down syndrome, so he sometimes had the thoughts of a child. But he wasn't a weird person, he had the power to produce a liquid full of bacteria like Komodo dragon’s saliva, it came from the sweat on Axel’s palms. As a fighter, Axel is extremely dangerous if he is already using a sharp weapon. H
Eight o'clock in the morning is when the NEST residents have breakfast. Inside the large room, about 400 people eat every day. Although HORNET has more than 900 members, most of them still mingle outside with the monsters to gather information and look for other superhumans to rescue. The others monitor their movements from inside the NEST and are ready to send help when a member sends a distress signal.James grabbed some bread and cappuccino for breakfast this morning. It had been ten days since he had eaten the same thing for breakfast. The other HORNET members looked at him and smiled down at him. However, James didn't care at all. He continued to leisurely devour his bread.The reason why people smiled down at him was because James had various bruises on his face from his strenuous training with Axel. He was considered a freak for refusing to use the regenerator serum. Almost everyone in the room knew James, the strongman who didn't need a regenerator."Hey handsome, can I sit h
Owen patted James' shoulder several times. He tried to calm the shaken man down."James, they'll be fine as long as they don't know the identities of the monsters. You don't have to worry about them for now," Owen said.James shook his head. He didn't feel that way. He recalled the time at work when someone died just because they accidentally saw the scales of a monster.A chill ran down James' chest. He quickly turned around and walked quickly out. Owen immediately panicked. He came out from behind the storefront and grabbed James' hand."No James! Don't! Trust me, they'll be fine out there! You can't leave NEST unless you're ready!" Owen prevented as he reassured James.James glared at Owen."Let go, Owen!" James let go of Owen's hand and walked steadfastly towards the exit."James!" called Owen, but James didn't care. Everyone in the room was watching them, as they seemed to be arguing.Anne sensed that something was wrong, she quickly finished her milk and walked over to Owen who
Zen looked down on James with an annoying smile. he stood puffing out his chest. On the other hand, James felt very disturbed by the inclusion of this person in his conversation."Move Zen, I need to talk to Henry." James said shifting Zen's body away from him. Unexpectedly, Zen's body was moved easily."Henry, please let me out for a moment. This won't last long." James pleaded.Henry shook his head."No James. The surface is very dangerous for people like you. People with superpowers without proper training will only make them weak in the face of monsters. You'd better calm yourself down and train your body until you're ready. Your parents will be fine, I'm sure of it." Henry replied while patting James on the shoulder."Huh? Does that mean if I'm stronger then I can just come out?""That's not entirely true, but not only that. All the humans in HORNET don't know much information about the monsters, nor should we be careless while on the surface." Henry retorted.James was adamant,
James entered the training room and slammed the door loudly. It’s voice was so loud that it startled Axel who was waiting for him. James walked quickly to Axel and stopped right in front of him.He looked at the guy who often looked down with piercing eyes. The look of someone who was upset."Axel, I do want to see my parents, but fighting Zen is not a good idea! He'll maim me for life!" protested James.Axel clasped his hands together with a thump. He smiled widely and chuckled happily."Y-you're going to win, James!" he said regardless of James's protests.Axel pranced around happily. He loved this situation so much, he imagined that Zen would bow down to him and ask for forgiveness.On the other hand, James became annoyed with the behavior of the human in front of him. James grabbed Axel's wrist to make him stop prancing. Unexpectedly, James' hand was immediately rejected by Axel. The look on the man's face changed briefly."Sweat! Don't touch my sweat! There's a lot of bacteria!"
"Sure! I'll follow you!" James accepted Anne's invitation without hesitation. They both left the training room, Axel couldn't do anything to stop them.James and Anne entered the research room, then Anne knocked on a room. When the owner of the room opened the door, James could see that Lisa was the owner of the room."Anne? James? Why are you here?" Lisa asked."James and I need your help. We need to talk in a quiet place." Anne said seriously.Lisa then looked at her two friends. She then opened the door to the room fully."Come in, Professor Miguel is away and won't be back anytime soon. We can use this room."They then entered the room. Lisa locked it and made sure no one came near. Then Lisa came over to them.Then Lisa sat down in front of them."What are you doing here? Is it about the duel with Zen?" asked Lisa matter-of-factly."See, James, you're famous." Anne smirked slightly at James."Have you even heard about it?" asked James.Lisa nodded. The news had reached her ears w
The police car was speeding along amidst the glittering lights of the street. They were not on patrol, but on their way to a house on Blue Hill Street, a small neighborhood in the middle of the city.They stopped the car in front of a small house there. Even though it was ten o'clock at night, the house lights were still on. The two policemen who had previously checked James's house got out of the car.Ethan and Benjamin, the names of the two policemen. They were investigative police from the Landfield Police Department. Of course, their real identities were monsters, just like their colleagues at the police station. The police station in this city no longer had humans. Everything was dominated by monsters. With their position of control over the security field, the monsters began to use it to protect their own nation, and didn't care much about ordinary people."It's annoying when the Chief of Police assigns tasks late like this. We were given a case that's halfway through anyway. Li
