5. They Turn Into Monster!

"WELCOME TO THE TRAINING CENTER! ENJOY THE VARIOUS TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES THAT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER. 

Jansen was speechless as he entered the lobby of the Training Center building. 

As he walked with Matthew and nearly 148 other selected individuals, Jansen took in the futuristic design of the building. There was a large LED screen stretching across the gate that separates the lobby from the inner building. 

To the left were six glass-tube elevators, several flying robots, and a high ceiling that curved slightly inward. In the center of the lobby was a circular reception desk, guarded by giant robots on each of its four sides. 

What surprised Jansen was that there were four humans standing guard at the reception desk. What were they there for? 

Several weapons were mounted on the right and left sides of the ceiling area. Jansen was confused as to why these weapons were pointed at the lobby floor where he was. 

"Matthew, did they deliberately place these weapons near the ceiling?" Jansen asked. 

Matthew looked in the direction Jansen was looking. Then he nodded his head.

"Yes, I heard that those weapons also have a malicious attack detection feature. So if you cause a scene, it will automatically shoot you," Matthew replied. 

Jansen shuddered in horror at Matthew's explanation. It was unexpected that the organization would be on the defensive like that. 

Jansen's steps turned, then after a few meters stopped at a large, tall metal door. Two Black Warrior members were fiddling with the security of the door. 

Before long, the large metal door opened completely, revealing a grand room. But there weren't as many people as in the lobby. 

When stepping inside, the room had an open room concept. Anyone can see the second floor of the room. The divider of the second floor of the room is a glass wall as high as the ceiling of the second floor. 

Some people were standing on the second floor of the room from behind the glass wall. They were looking down at the Chosen One who had stepped inside. 

In the center of the room was another box room shaped like a boxing ring. It was two levels lower than the floor Jansen was standing on. The four sides of the room's walls rise high to the ceiling, made of glass. 

There was an iron barrier with sharp edges on the floor Jansen was standing on. The tip of the metal barrier sparked a small electricity. 

"WELCOME THE CHOSEN ONE!" 

A loud voice echoed. 

"WE WELCOME YOU WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM. AFTER ONE YEAR, YOU ARE THE NEXT CHOSEN ONES WHO WILL BE TRAINED AND TREATED SPECIALLY!" 

The LED screen stretched across the room suddenly lit up. The view of the room below was displayed more clearly. 

Jansen frowned as he saw the three barred doors below. 

It looked like a prison that would open and reveal a monster to be pitted in the ring-at least Jansen had seen that in action movies. 

"GIVE A WELCOME TO THE LEADER OF THE PARASITIC CREATURE ERADICATION ORGANIZATION!" 

Jansen saw a few meters from the second level floor, in the center, a man who looked very familiar to him. 

"Frank," Jansen said spontaneously, dumbfounded. 

Frank looked almost 70 years old, wearing a formal suit. Michael and Thomas Sebastian appeared to his right and left. 

They were all members of the organization. But where were David and Jacob. They were the two members who had sided with Jansen in the past. 

Why weren't they there? All Jansen saw were the other three leaders of the organization. 

"What is it, Jansen?" Matthew asked. "Do you know Mr. Frank?" 

'Yes, I know that annoying bastard,' Jansen wished he could express his thoughts. 

Jansen curved a forced smile at Matthew. He shook his head. 

"The Chosen One! Congratulation, you were chosen to be the lucky ones specially trained by the Parasitic Creature Eradication Organization!" Frank said a welcome. 

"Woah, you will enjoy the facilities of the Training Center that you don't get in the outside world! You can eat delicious food in this Training Center, as long as..."

A short pause. 

"...you can improve your fighting and surviving skills against the parasitic monsters outside! You should also know, there is a risk called death if you fail to survive!" 

Jansen laughed sarcastically at Frank's words. 

'Damn. That bastard is already planning to take my position as the leader of the organization?" Jansen said to himself. 

"Today, as a prelude to the training, the organization wants to see what you're capable of!" 

The LED screen changed to show the order of the names of the chosen people. There were about 150 names on the screen. 

"I want you to witness how you will deal with one of the parasitic monsters."
