Once again, Axel began to regain his consciousness. But this time it wasn't on the medical bed. But inside a tube full of greenish liquid.
"Mmmhhh!!" Axel shouted trying to speak. But his voice could not be heard because his mouth and nose were covered by breathing apparatus.
Seeing the movement of Axel, a woman seemed to walk closer to him.
Axel himself was not able to see it so clearly because of the many water bubbles and the color of his view is dominated by greenish color.
But unmistakably, the woman standing before him looked quite happy with a faint smile on her face.
"Welcome back, Axel. Your recovery is pretty quick, just 12 days. Where the average special division troops need about 14 to 15 days." It was clearly the woman who seemed to be in black hair.
On his left chest, there was a badge with a golden [S] letter attached to his gray uniform.
"Mmmhhh?!" Ask Axel back.
"Yes, I know. The special forces division, as the name suggests, consisted of only the most elite troops. Inside this fortress, there are only 15 people, including you." Obviously the woman.
"Mmh?"
What Axel had in mind was only one.
'Didn't they say they had to join the military in order to live comfortably in this fortress? Why are there only 15 people if I see hundreds more residents in this underground city?'
"Previously, sorry. We may seem to lie, but in the military there are two types of soldiers. The black uniform was a regular soldier, while the gray uniform was a special division warrior." Obviously the woman.
"Mhhh?!" Shouts Axel.
"Yes. Both of them gained the same occupation advantage in this fortress. With the exception, only the special division troops obtained very special treatment."
Axel is starting to realize it.
Most likely, he had been tricked into joining this special force. Even joining an ordinary army could also provide a place for his sister to stay.
Only, Axel did not understand the reason why he had to go through a very painful hell before.
'Stamp!'
As Axel was thinking about it, the woman who had earlier spoken to him attached a piece of paper to the glass tube where Axel was.
"If you're wondering why we tricked you into entering a special division, here's the answer." Strictly that woman.
Slowly, Axel brought his face closer to the paper. Read the details inside.
"In short, Eva sees your potential. You should know, not all humans have a strong evolution when in contact with Flux. Just a small part, like the two of us." Continue the woman.
Axel didn't answer. He was still busy reading the level information on that paper.
...[.Code Name : Axel]...
...[.Rating :Y]...
...The analysis showed a high affinity of the lightning element. Makes Axel's movement ability very fast and agile. Magus Type...
...[.Strength : D]...
...[.Vitality : W]...
...[.Agility :Y]...
...[.Dexterity : A]...
"As you can see, it's your new ability after getting an additional Flux. Simply put, you're 10 times stronger than you were before." Obviously the woman.
He then pulled the paper and turned his body. Leaving Axel alone in that tube full of greenish liquid.
"Tomorrow you can get out. For now, rest. Because after that, you'll continue to get the mission to work without much rest." The woman shouted from a distance.
Axel is alone.
He could see several other similar tubes, but there was no one inside.
And in this solitude, Axel strives to solidify his heart. There's no way back for him after all this.
Axel could only use the rest of his life, to help as many people as possible. No. gabe....
He just wants....
Providing a comfortable living space for her sister. That'sthat's all.
......***......
Axel has recovered completely.
Two men are seen walking around his tube to release Axel. The two men were none other than Leona and Frans, who performed a crazy operation on her back.
"Take this." Leona said while handing over a gray uniform suit complete with t-shirts, shorts and other underwear.
"Thank you." Reply Axel while trying to turn his back on Leona's gaze.
"Just calm. I've seen a lot of people without a piece of clothing, seeing you like that is not a big deal to me either. Besides, that doesn't mean I'll be interested in your stuff." Reply Leona with a look that seemed so tired.
Even his eye bags looked so black with a lethargic face.
On the other hand, Frans appears to be monitoring Axel's health. Starting from reflexes, views, and so on. While results....
"Everything's good. You can go. Aaah, the Oracle has been waiting for you on the B19th floor." Frans.
"Oracle?" Axel asked in confusion.
"The woman who spoke to you yesterday. He's the chairman of this special division in North America." Frans replied without looking at Axel in the slightest.
"Eh?"
......***......
Axel took the elevator to get down to the B19 floor. Where this floor is the main meeting room for special division troops to conduct meetings.
Inside, several other members of the Liberator special division force had sat on their seats. And at the front, next to the big screen, the woman Axel saw last night was working on something on her computer.
"So he's the new S rank?"
"Not so convincing. But better than nothing."
"May this time not die as fast as the previous members."
Various utterances about him can be heard by Axel from various other members.
In total, there were 9 people in this room, including Axel himself.
"Axhelen. Come here." Come here." Said Eva while patting the iron chair next to her.
While nodding, Axel immediately walked towards the seat beside Eva.
"You're better?" Eva asked with a friendly smile.
"That's how. By the way, my sister's fine, right?"
That was the only thing Axel thought about. Even if he had to suffer, it didn't matter as long as his sister was fine. But if it's the other way around....
"Just calm. She lives in an exclusive apartment for the relatives of the special division. Look at this." Said Eva while pulling out her phone.
Here, there were two things that surprised Axel.
First, it is the fact that his sister appears so happy while having dinner with Axel's unknown grandparents in the photo.
Then the second....
"Mobile?! Aaah, that's right. Is there electricity here?! But what about the signal?" Axel was surprised.
"Haha. You surprised about that? Take it easy, I'll ask the cell phone communications department for you and your sister. While the signal, of course, came from this fortress." Eva Clear.
The two talked for a moment before the woman who had been sitting in front had finished her work.
It is Oracle. Chairman of this special division.
After standing, the Oracle dimmed the lights in this room and began its meeting.
"Consideration, everyone. A new mission for you. We just got a radio signal asking for help from sector 12. One team will move there.
As for the rest, I will ask 3 teams to explore the ruins of the Flux-powered electric generator. Take as many Fluxes as you can and bring them back to this fortress.
Eva, you brought the new boy in to answer the radio call. Everybody understood?" Obviously Oracle at pretty long length.
"Understand!" Reply everything in unison, except Axel.
"Eh? The group? What's...."
"Come with me." Reply to Eva while pulling Axel as fast as possible.
"Did?!"
