Chapter 442 - Join the team (2/2)

It let out one last growl before eventually falling to the floor.

Martha was hurt but her body was stronger than most. She had looked up at Slyvia during the fight and could have sworn she sensed something. Right now she could only see her back though. Standing up, she walked over.

”Slyvia, you did it… is everything okay?” Martha asked.

The sword was dropped to the floor and Slyvia turned around, looking like her usual self. There was no difference in her appearance or the aura around her.

”I'm fine, what about you? You were the one that was hit.” Sylvia replied.

The room was suddenly filled with guards that looked more appropriate to deal with the beast. They had better armor, better equipment all around over their body. In total, there were five of them. The one who stood at the front was a man named Garn.

Garn could see the group of frightened people, including the guard, stood at the back against the wall, while three others in medical clothing stood in the center of the room with the beast dead.

”Report back, tell them the beast has already been dealt with,” Garn said to one of the men, and he immediately left the room.

”You, also find out how they managed to make another slip out. They seem to be getting more frequent and frequent. If this happens again, then they need us in the research facility rather than on call.” Garn ordered.

The people were told to wait inside and the frightened guard was taken out along with the scientists. A clean-up crew had entered cleaning the room and the people had eventually calmed down.

After a short while, Garn had returned with the usual guard by his side instead of his own men. ”You, you, and you.” Garn said, pointing at them. ”I hear you saved these people's lives. We would like to thank you. Do you mind going for a little walk?”

It didn't feel like they had much of a choice in a facility such as this one. What would even happen if they said no, but Sylvia was the first to volunteer standing up.

”I would love to.”

So the other two decided to follow. Garn walked with the two regular guards by his side and the other three were behind him. They had gone on to the second floor of the facility.

”As you can expect, this place doesn't just do testing on humans, but we are doing so on the beast as well. To defeat the shadow, we must learn everything we can about the place.” Garn started to explain. ”The problem is, the better results come when a subject is infected more than ever with the shadow. We feel like we are close. Incidents will start to happen more frequently as we progress and honestly, we are down on manpower.”

”I heard from the scientist and the guard form before, you three aren't ordinary people. A fire mage, and two Ki users. Most likely great adventures. I wanted to ask you three if you would be willing to join our team. Help prevent events such as this one. You will be given a good wage, and you will have a couple of days off to explore the city.”

Hearing this, Roy's eyes had lit up with excitement. This was what he had dreamed off. It was the whole reason he had come to the city. Another job and a way of living. Due to Garn's explanation, his fears from before had vanished as well.

However, the same couldn't be said for the girls. Something still felt off and she knew her brother wouldn't be investigating such a matter if it was a simple as this.

They had then entered, a certain room, it was white like the one they were just in before but with the others. ”Why don't I give you time to think about it,” Garn said walking back out of the room and the door was shut. Leaving the three of them inside.

”Did we just get locked in here?” Martha asked.

Outside the research facility, in the strange settlement. There were two new arrivals tonight.

”Alright, let's go find those girls,” Kyle said with a smile.
