With his hands clasped on his back, Prof. K looks out of the window with a satisfied smile.πͺππ xt.πΈππ
For once the alliance between the Uniter World Organization and the Stygian Crow Organization has finally borne fruit. Technology resources supplied by the UWO have quickened the process of making the Supernatural Radar, and now humanity has excellent defensive capabilities.
An incident such as the Demonic Cities wouldn’t be happening ever again.
Intra, the AI that was harnessed inside the Supernatural Radar can detect and scan any living beings to determine their race and power, and also categorize them into multiple threat levels which will help to identify the Supernatural they are dealing with.
Supernaturals below the fifth-rank realm have a no-threat class, they are easily dealt with.
Even normal people with military-grade weapons are able to deal with fourth-rank realm Supernaturals and below effectively, they were basically harmless except for a few races that would be treated differently.
Young high-rank Supernaturals, for example, are definitely considered a yellow-grade threat.
Others that have surpassed the fifth-rank realm threshold would be classified into three colors, yellow, red, and black. Yellow consists of fifth-rank and sixth-rank realm Supernaturals, red for the seventh and eighth-rank realms, and black for ninth-rank realm Supernaturals.
Prof. K turns around and sits at his desk before leaning back comfortably.
With this kind of invention, King John wouldn’t be bothering him for quite a while, and he can finally enjoy the peace of wanting to be alone and undisturbed by anyone. In front of him is a hologram map with a pulsating radar in the middle.
Different statistics in the form of numbers can be seen in the right corner of the map.
Upon looking at the statistics Prof. K can’t help but be surprised as the number of Supernaturals found inside Ratmawati City exceed his expectations. At first, the field black hands regularly find Supernaturals walking amongst humans.
Since the black hands are quite sensitive to the Supernatural due to the serum, they find more.
Many of the Supernaturals inside Ramawati City were from the low-rank Supernatural race, Elves, Spirits, and Dryads are the most common ones. King John has instructed to bring them back for the Supernatural Radar, and kill off the rest.
But now Prof. K realized that there are much more Supernaturals inside Ratmawati City.
Although, they can be found more in sector 3 or below due to the scarcity of Awakened. From this alone, Prof. K realized how fragile humanity really is if the Demonic Cities didn’t happen and he didn’t make the Supernatural Radar.
While putting both of his hands on his stomach, Prof. K’s mind wanders to a certain someone.
“If it weren’t for Rex and his pack members, then this might not be possible. Many of the Awakened and Black Hands are deployed in the war, defending the Great Barricade with their lives. It should be good to have a unit like Rex and his pack members that can tackle a specific problem for Humanity”
“But they just have to kill his parents…”, Prof. K sighs as he can’t believe such a blunder happened.
Slowly raising his gaze to look at the ceiling, a flash of the SCO messengers and King John appear in his mind. Exhaling calmly, he then mutters to himself, “UWO and their Awakened are incompetent, it would be better if we take over Ratmawati City…”
Just as he said that rapid beeping sounds penetrate his ears.
Prof. K looks at the hologram map before he squinted his eyes with a frown, from beyond the door to the office room he heard footsteps approaching. Grabbing his crow mask on the table, he quickly puts it on before anyone enters the room.
A couple of hurried knocks can be heard before Prof. K presses a button and the door opened.
Walking inside the office room is a black hand that has beads of cold sweat running down the side of his face, “Prof. K, we’ve detected a black-grade threat near Maraka City by the desert. It’s King Oddity sir, the King of Shapeshifters is inside our territory!”
Upon hearing this, Prof. K nodded his head strongly.
“Go report this to King John and prepare the other messengers for departure, I don’t know why King Oddity dares to enter our territory but the timing is perfect. Go do as I said quickly!”, Prof. K commanded firmly, knowing that this is a chance to take down a ninth-rank realm Supernatural without a big war.
It would greatly benefit humanity, and they can’t let this chance slip away.
Obeying the command without a second of thought, the black hand ran out of the office room to contact King John about this fortunate finding. Prof. K sits back down before he ponders for a brief moment about something.
Although he doesn’t want to, he knows that he needs all the help he can get.
Green smoke burst out of his mask and every pore of his body which completely overflowed the entire office room. A moment later, the green smoke seeped through the window before it flew away to the sky.
Meanwhile, UWO Main Office.
Inside a spacious room that has a square-shaped arena in the middle surrounded by pale blue pillars that glowed weird energy, two figures are lying at the center of the watery ground arena, panting heavily after they finished their training for the day.
One is holding a sword while the other is holding sharp daggers glowing with four runes.
Edward and Ryze have been taken into the UWO main office to be trained as they both have unlimited potential due to the high-rank fire affinity given by Rex and also being one of the Heavenly Dragonman.
Standing in front of them were two figures wearing black robes and wore vicious expressions.
Both of them are eighth-rank realm Awakened who are tasked to make Edward and Ryze stronger, their experience in weapon mastery and also wide-range of weapon mastery makes them excellent teachers.
The woman with a gorgeous hourglass figure and two piercing red eyes is not from here.
Jasira is her name, and she’s from the neighboring major city, Molyver City that has been called specifically to train Edward. She’s a peak eighth-rank realm Absolute Flame Elementalist, a prodigy that has been nurtured efficiently by countless strong experts from her home city.
On top of that, she has experience fighting against Dragonman which is perfect for Ryze.
Looking at the two that can’t go on anymore, Jasira glanced at her partner.
“So? I’ve been asking around but nobody dares to tell me what had happened here the destruction that I’ve seen, and the fact that we are training a Heavenly Dragonman. I want an answer if you want me to keep teaching these kids”
Sighing lightly, the man replied, “Long story short, a Royal Black Prince awaken not too long ago”
“We’ve killed a Werewolf Prince before, but Royal Black Prince…? If that’s the case then these two are not its match”, Jasira replied, giving a sharp glance at Edward and Ryze who are still lying on the ground exhausted. It’s clear that there’s no chance these two can take on the Royal Black Prince.
Chuckling lightly, the man also glanced at the two, “These two have a relationship with it”
Upon hearing this Jasira nodded her head slightly as it makes sense president Sebrof told her to train these two and make them strong. “It’s enough training using weapons for today. Ryze, you have strength but you don’t have any talent in fighting, pathetic, keep working on it until I come back. Edward, go work on your spirit unification for the rest of the day”
Although her words are quite harsh, both of them have already gotten used to them.
Ever since the first day she came, she already exposes to her fierce demeanor which seems relentless at times, and that’s good since they really need to be way stronger if they want to have any chance on stopping Rex to come after humanity.
Clang!
Splash!
Turning around to leave, Jasira stabbed her flaming sword into the ground before walking away.
After the door room closed once again, Edward and Ryze sits back up and stared at the door in a daze. With his new body, Ryze has been told to train non-stop without any sleep and Edward spent 20 hours training non-stop.
It’s obvious why they were dazed like this, their lives are spent inside the room to train.
“Don’t be so down like that, we’re doing this to help Rex. Out of everything, he has helped us a lot so stopping him to dwell in the path of vengeance again is the least we could do”, Edward said before he slowly stood up.
Upon hearing this, Ryze nodded his head lightly, “I’ll keep training if it’s with you, Edward!”
Putting on a light smile, Edward helps Ryze get up before the two of them went back to training again. Ryze did shadow training while Edward went to the corner and started meditating to reach spirit unification and reach the next realm.
Meanwhile, Jasira and the man got out before they were greeted by president Sebrof.
“How are they doing?”
“They made great progress, sir! But it’s still going to take a long-time for them to be even as strong as us two. Especially Ryze, he’s just a kid with an eighth-rank realm power”, Jasira reported with her spine erected like an arrow.
President Sebrof nodded his head, he already expected as much.
Just as he was about to enter the training room to check on Edward and Ryze, a UWO member wearing formal attire stopped beside the three of them before giving a slight bow. “President Sebrof, the Supernatural Radar has been deployed and functioning extraordinarily! Hundreds of Supernaturals inside our city have been identified and taken down in a matter of an hour”
But before Sebrof can answer the good news, green smoke suddenly infiltrates the place.
Hardened by the years of fighting in the war, Jasira immediately summoned a circular wall of dark flames that protected the four of them instantly. Not only that, but red energy that takes the form of a circle stacked with a triangle appears behind them.
Runic patterns can be seen in the symbol behind her, almost like a complex formation.
Upon seeing this, Sebrof was quite impressed by her reflex and also spells that he has never seen before. ‘Well, she’s a prodigy alright’, Sebrof thought before he touch Jasira’s shoulder, signaling for her to stand down.
Soon enough, the green smoke seeped through the fire before materializing into a figure.
Prof. K appeared wearing his usual black attire and crow mask, he stares at the four for a brief moment before his eyes landed on Sebrof, “President Sebrof, I want to notify you that the Supernatural Radar has found a black-grade threat…”
Jasira heard this and can’t help but wonder what this Supernatural Radar Prof. K is talking about.
“Black-grade threat…?”, Sebrof mutters in confusion.
Although he has authorized the making of the Supernatural Radar under the SCO, he still doesn’t know the technicality of the new invention. Sebrof knows the Supernatural Radar is active when Intra scanned him earlier.
But that was it, he still doesn’t know how Intra works.
Prof. K paused for a second before he replied with a heavy tone, “The King of Shapeshifters is in our territory, and King John is heading there right now. I suggest that you notify the other ninth-rank realm Awakened to join, this is a chance that we can’t miss”
Upon King Oddity being brought up, President Sebrof’s expression turns grim.
Out of every Supernatural race, Shapeshifters are the most unknown race, humanity only has little information about them. Recently Sebrof realized that the Shapeshifters have been infiltrating their territory occasionally since there’s nothing that humanity has to block them.
Kidnapping people from level 4 and 3 cities was their main objective.
Now that the Supernatural Radar is online, it’s time to pay them back for what they’ve done.
Glancing at the UWO member that reported to him earlier, he then instructed with an authoritative tone, “Call Sir Denzel and Lady Giana to reinforce King John in attacking King Oddity, make sure to succeed, and bring his head to me…”
