Chapter 23: Investigation part 4

-Are you sure about what you are saying and it is not a mistake?

One of the guys in the room asks nervously, after all in this room everyone was a wannabe, you can't tell exactly who the imposter is.

-Come on man, do I look like a joker? Senior Takeda is coming this way.

(Shit Takeda is the same one I met before, it would be a problem to battle with him, maybe I have Laura with me but…)

Alexander worried, he looks at the whole room, he couldn't make a false move because if he does it everyone will come at him.

-Hey, Alexander. -Alexander's thoughts were interrupted by Laura.

-What's going on Laura?

-We're in trouble, aren't we? We can't win right now. -Laura was talking to Alexander with a worried expression on her face, it's obvious that they can't do anything.

(Actually, if Laura helps me I can win if I use that "Skill", but after that I won't be able to fight again.)

Eaten up by his thoughts, Alexander notices how Takeda enters the room.

-Hello everyone, my name is Takeda and I am your superior, I think you know why we are here.

Takeda enters the room and without basilarity drops the worrisome subject, next to Takeda was another guard, who was fully hooded wearing a clown mask on.

(Fuck I don't know which of the two is stronger, it would be better to confirm).

[You have used the skill: Observe]

[The enemy is too strong]

(Shit, this is something big, that guy is stronger than Takeda by far).

-From your expressions I can guess that you already know, right? But for the one who doesn't know. We have infiltrators in this headquarters.

-We only have the whereabouts of one, but we sense that there are two of them, since they entered each one through an entrance.

-One second that's impossible, only the members know how to get in. -One of the boys who was in the room demonstrates the gap in the explanation.

-That's true, but maybe they were able to subdue the guard to the point they explain. -Takeda, without basilarity, answers the boy's doubt, who seemed dissatisfied with her.

-That was what we did. By way of self-thought, Laura says this to Alexander's side in a very low voice.

(Fuck, you're telling me that I spent 20 minutes looking for a way in and I only had to look for the guard).

Looking angry with himself, Alexander himself had these thoughts as he continued to watch the conversation.

-One second, but we have the whereabouts of one don't we? -The same guy from before asks again.

-You are right, in the corridor 3B there were several defeated guards, when we asked them we were told that the cause of that was a girl with brown hair.

(Oh shit)

(Oh shit)

Thinking the same thing Laura and Alexander looked at each other, it was more than obvious that Miss Sophia was the girl that made the commotion.

-I told her not to go alone, but the smug lady didn't listen to me.

-But she seems to be doing well, she was able to beat several guards without problems.

-It's no use if they discover you, sooner or later they'll hunt her down.

-We should help her, shouldn't we? -Alexander asks worried about his friend.

-Yes, we must do it, but it is complicated, first we must get out of here. -Laura made her point clear in this conversation, Alexander and Laura would have to escape the room first, before wanting to help Laura.

-But as you know, we have another infiltrator. -Takeda said this while looking at everyone in the room, his look alone detonated presence.

(Shit, sooner or later he's going to figure it out, I must think of something).

Alexander was showing a completely worried expression, no matter how well he knows how to hide, sooner or later the truth will come out.

-Hey sir!!!

Another young man in the room takes command of the conversation and proceeds to speak.

-Why don't you just order us to go after the girl?

-What do you mean? -Takeda, who did not fully understand the boy's words, chooses to ask.

-I mean, if we go after the girl sooner or later the infiltrator will be seen, they won't be able to hurt their partner.

The boy's plan left everyone's mouth open, it was a good plan after all, no matter what you do it will be noticed from afar who are a team and who are not.

-I like your idea, kid, well I'll leave it to you, the girl according to the traces goes to the B2 hallway is all yours.

-Wait a second, what happens if the infiltrators attack each other? -Another one of the challengers, which seems to be a girl, shows the hole in the whole plan.

-Well, if they attack their own partner, they weren't much of a partner then. If it comes to that, they'll all be part of the team and that's that.

(I see, this is a matter of pride and confidence).

-Well said that, I expect a lot from you, let's go Jason. -After saying these words, Takeda left the room along with his partner, who was quite scary.

-Fuck, that was close. -Alexander said aloud his thoughts while looking at Laura.

-Great, we have to hunt down the smug lady.

-What's so great about that?

-I mean, I mean, what a fucking mess this is. -Laura with an embarrassed expression said this.

-Well, you guys heard, let's all go straight to the B2 hallway. -The same guy who gave the plan, takes charge of the others and decides to motivate them to do the mission.

[Notification]

(A message from the system? What was it about?)

Alexander, somewhat surprised by the window in front of his eyes, decides to see what the system has for him.

[New secondary mission of choice: Execution]

[You can choose between two routes for this mission, note that depending on your choice the reward will change].

(This is new, I was never given the choice of choosing what I wanted to do or not, let's see the conditions)

[Route 1: Collaborate with Laura and Sophia] 

[Route 2: Collaborate with the White Wolves wannabes]

[The mission will change according to the desired route].

(I see, the system takes for equal the fact that I collaborate regardless of the group, but I'll choose route number 1, after all I was going to do it in the first place).

[You have chosen Route 1]

[Showing Route Mission...]

(Fuck what the fuck is this?) -Alexander who was reading the mission he had, he couldn't believe what he would have to do to achieve it.

-Alexander, we have to go. -But before he could go deeper into the mission, Laura took his concentration.

-Ah, of course we must, mustn't we? -Alexander gets up instantly and follows Laura and the group, which is heading to corridor B2.

-So what shall we do? We must help the smug lady, right? But how are we going to do it?

Laura, who did not look very comfortable with the situation, asks this question to Alexander who was not very comfortable either.

-Here's the plan…

Alexander whispers something in Laura's ear, who picks it up instantly.

-Wow, you really are crazy, but there is no other plan better than that. -Laura decides to accept Alexander's crazy plan while walking through the corridors.

-Guys, get ready! I can see her in the distance. -The young man who was in charge gives his orders, so the group gets ready.

-Wow, wow, they used to be tinhorn guards and now it's a pack of mediocre rats. -But before the group can ambush her, Sophia greets them smoothly.

-What a fucking bitch, do you think you can beat us, tired as you are? -The boy, very confident in his strength, says this to Sophia.

-Then they are many, but they are rats.

(He acts the same as always, but he is not in top condition).

Alexander's thoughts were correct, Sophia although she was acting arrogant and very boastful, she was really quite tired, it is impossible for this one to fight against everyone and win.

-Well get ready bitch, guys attack. -The young man in charge gives the order ready to finish Sophia.

-Laura!

But at the same instant, Alexander shouts Laura's name, who at high speed hits the people behind with her wooden sword.

[You are using the combat skill: Knockout Points]

Together with Laura, Alexander attacks several, enemies leaving them half wounded.

-Sons of bitches, weren't there supposed to be two of them? -The young man in charge said this while he saw several of his companions defeated by Laura.

Alexander had told Laura to prepare for a surprise attack from behind, which went perfectly.

-That was a miscalculation. -Alexander approaches Sophia and then Laura does the same.

-There really are three of us.

The three of them get together ready for the fight to come.

-I don't remember asking for help. -Sophia, who didn't seem at all upset, recited those words.

-Well, Miss arrogant, I saw the opposite a minute ago. -Laura, not letting Sophia make her any less, teased her with a mischievous smile.

-Stop the fight for later, we must concentrate on what's in front of us.

Alexander who was the head of the attack, prepares for the fight, clenching his fists.

(After all, he had to complete this mission)

[Secondary mission: Execution]

[Since you have decided to help Laura and Sophia, you must execute the other enemies].

[Enemies to defeat: 4/40]

(This is going to be a long battle…)
