Chapter 18: [After Effects]

[Medical Bay, Sub-Headquarters]

The fight against the assault from the chimera has ended and the city was saved with some casualties but even though the battle has ended the chaos breakers are still in a lookout to see if there are any kind of attacks that may happen again

After the battle has ended many units either users or military all around the city felt fatigue but the most affected of all are the users who fought the chimera and it's chaos beings up close and that includes Jinwoo, Ryuuji, Richard, Kanzaki

Among all the four the most tired of all is Kanzaki himself, not only did he temporarily used a hint of his second ability but also by using it for a few minutes it caused him to feel tired than he usually does that resulted to him falling unconscious after the battle

As an aftermath of the battle all supporters were quite busy in conducting elaborate current statistics of the users their in charge of

Because of kanzaki's performance during the battle, the higher-ups discussed some things and made decisions on what to do about kanzaki's aforementioned second ability which is already known to many higher-ups.... For the reason that it was clearly displayed that it easily overpowered a chimera and making all lower chaos east around it feel scared..... In the end they decided that they should do wait and watch tactic

A day has passed since the fight as kanzaki himself opened his eyes he saw a ceiling in white that he himself have never seen before

Because Kanzaki has regained consciousness a voice of a girl rung out beside him

"Kanzaki?"

When he turned to look at the owner of the voice he saw Isabelle sitting at the chair beside him

"Kanzaki your finally awake! Thank goodness your okay!" Said Isabelle

"Huh? Where am I?" Groaned Kanzaki

"No don't suddenly move.... Your in a medical Bay at the Sub-Headquarters" replied Isabelle

"Wha... What am I doing here?" Asked Kanzaki

"Well you did pass out after the fight" explained Isabelle

"Pass out?"

When Kanzaki heard this he tried to remember what happened to him after he passed out

"I... I don't remember a thing after seeing you guys get raided in the restaurant" said Kanzaki while holding his head

"Can't remember? Kanzaki you saved us! Don't you remember?" Asked Isabelle worriedly

"Sorry but I can't" apologized Kanzaki

As they were contemplating this Sanaguchi himself entered the room where Kanzaki was located at

"I see that your already awake!" He exclaimed

"Sir. Sanaguchi" said Kanzaki

"Ah! Can you drop the honorifics I prefer if you call me the same way you called me when we first met" said Sanaguchi

Apparently Sanaguchi himself dislike calling him with honorifics for some reasons

"I see" replied Kanzaki

"So are you fine already?" Asked Sanaguchi

"Well yeah! Somehow my fatigue seem non-existent anymore" answered Kanzaki

"Ah! That's because of our medical Bay" added Sanaguchi

"Is that so! Well it seems to quite expensive" said Kanzaki

"Not quite unless your not the one paying for it" pointed out Sanaguchi

As for the facilities and equipment of the headquarters around the world they are all paid by the government so no finances are deducted to the workers and people who work inside it

"If I may but where are Ryuuji and Jinwoo senpai?" Asked Kanzaki

"Them? Ah! They've already gone back at the Dormitory.... They did have only minor injuries" answered Sanaguchi

"Well thank God" muttered Kanzaki

As they talked Sanaguchi turned to Isabelle and said

"By the way your transfer to our Dormitory will happen tonight right?" Asked Sanaguchi

"Ah yes! It's tonight" confirmed Isabelle

Hearing this Kanzaki looked at Isabelle in surprise

"Your moving in?" He asks

"Well yeah... So please take care of me" said Isabelle

With this Kanzaki himself smiled

"Yeah me too take care of me"

When Sanaguchi saw both of them he clapped his hand once and announced

"With this both of you are officially partners in this occupation as user and supporter"

As both Kanzaki and Isabelle enjoyed and Conversed to each other Sanaguchi himself remembered something

"Oh right I forgot to tell you"

When Sanaguchi said that both Kanzaki and Isabelle looked at him

"A group of users found Alice lying on the floor with a blood on her head"

Upon hearing that Kanzaki panicked

"What?! Alice got hurt? Where is she? Is she okay?"

"Don't worry she's fine, she's already in a medical bay" replied Sanaguchi

"That's great news" said Kanzaki as he calmed down

"But there is one thing we found" added Sanaguchi

As Sanaguchi said this Kanzaki looked at him intently

"Apparently we found out that somehow her her eyes was damaged and the nerve in her brain was damaged too but after few hours they've been mended back as if it didn't happen" he said

"We also confirmed that the chaos being that attacked her died right near her and because of that she herself was soaked in blood of that being" he added

Upon hearing this Kanzaki jumped to the conclusion

"Don't tell me..."

But before he could finish Sanaguchi already confirmed his doubts

"Yes it I very most likely that she turn into a user.... But we still currently can't confirm that so in the meantime we will keep her here with us"

Upon learning that Alice herself has a chance to turned to a user Kanzaki himself felt an urge to go to her

"Bring me...." He murmured

"What?" Asked Sanaguchi not hearing what he said

"I said I want to see her!" Said Kanzaki while trying to support himself

As he said that Isabelle immediately helped Kanzaki to maintain his balance

"I see then follow me" said Sanaguchi

[Alice room]

As the three of them arrived at Alice room Sanaguchi said

"I'll wait here... You guys can go inside"

With that Kanzaki nodded and headed inside while Isabelle supported him

When they got in Isabelle put Kanzaki on the chair beside where Alice was laid

As they looked at her Alice started to murmur something

"Mama! Papa!"

Upon hearing this Isabelle spoke

"Looks like she's dreaming"

"Yeah looks like it" agreed Kanzaki

As soon as he finished saying that Alice herself opened her eyes and saw Kanzaki

"Hey Alice!" Greeted Kanzaki

"H...hey!" Said Alice weakly

"So how.do you feel?" Asked Kanzaki

"I feel refreshed..." She answered

"I saw mom! Dad! And they said they were watching me!" Declared Alice

"Is that so! Seems like a nice dream!" Teased Kanzaki

"Well yeah of course I did see them again" replied Alice

"Oh yeah! They also mentioned you!" She added

"Really? What did they say?" Asks Kanzaki

"Nothing much but they like you" said Alice while adjusting her position

"Well that's glad to hear" replied Kanzaki

As both Alice and Kanzaki were making a space for themselves Isabelle herself intervene

"Ahem!"

When they heard that Alice looked at Isabelle

"And you might be?" She asked

"Oh! My name is Isabelle nice to meet you" said Isabelle

As kanzaki forgot to introduce Isabelle he added

"Oh yeah she's also with the chaos breakers.... It's more like my colleague in this occupation"

"I see" said Alice

After that she turned her attention to Isabelle

"And what is your role here?" She asked

"Oh I'm kanzaki's supporter" she answered

"Supporter? Asked Alice as she looked at Kanzaki

"Yeah! She's a supporter who supports users in their mission and since she's a supporter she supports me her user" explained Kanzaki

"I see" said Alice

As they continued to talked for some time kanzaki told her

"Well I'll be seeing you soon so please be well by then"

"Sure thing! Oh and Isabelle please look after Kanzaki for me" said Alice

"You can count on me" replied Isabelle

As they left the headquarters they immediately headed to the dormitory with Isabelle dragging her luggage

When they arrived Kanzaki told her

"Well we're here so let's go inside"

"Sure" replied isabelle

As soon as they entered they were greeted by a pop of a confetti

"Welcome to polar Dormitory" greeted everyone from it except Ryuuji who remains silent

When they greeted her both Ai and Jessica approached Isabelle and talked to her

"Well we got another newbie" said Jinwoo

"I feel sorry for Sanaguchi for missing this" he added

"Well this is something" said Kanzaki

"Well it is her day of moving in here said Ryuuji

"That's is true" replied Kanzaki

Then suddenly Kanzaki thanked Ryuuji and Jinwoo

"Um I know it's too late to say this but thank you for protecting me when I can't even move"

Upon hearing this both Ryuuji and Jinwoo looked at each other and replied

"It's nothing really" said Jinwoo

"That just prove how the strong protect the weak" snugged Ryuuji

Hearing this Kanzaki himself just laughed it off

"Your right!"

With this the whole crew celebrated throughout the night and ended it by midnight

[Somewhere in USA, Conference room]

A week has passed since the battle at Grandora City a conference for the presidents and powers around the world occured somewhere in USA

as they started it with the recently event that happened

"So what happened to Grandora city?" Asked the Russian prime minister

"It's still safe based on our report and somehow they've successfully manage to defeat the chaos being that way responsible for it" answered the US president

"I heard that a group of users just found the culprit that released the creatures... What happened to him?" Asked by the Iran President

"I received a report that the users that were in charge of dealing with this culprit were dead when found and not only that it also included their whole crew meaning the commanding officer and the supporters" said the secretary for the chaos breakers as a whole

"So your saying there's a person out there that has intention of fighting us?" Asked the north Korean prime minister

"Foolish" remarked by the other presidents

"We believe it's not one but mostly a group of people with capabilities like the users because that just it explains for them to kill a squad of users" explained the US President

"So we got ourselves a terrorist in this age now" added by the Chinese president

"Well yeah something like that" confirmed by the US president

As the other countries heard that they begun to murmur themselves

"What about this person who made the chaos beings tremble in fear?" Said by the Japanese president

"I believe that person name is Jhin Kanzaki that only a person that have two abilities" said the secretary of the Chaos Breakers

"His power is overwhelming the chaos beings! With that maybe we can put an end to this war! His our greatest asset against them" said Philippine President

As he said that the other president nodded to his words

"There is also the case in London" said the prime minister of Britain

"Yes we believe that the chaos beings are having a suspicious activity it's almost looks like they are being guided" added Britain's secretary

"Guided you mean like in Grandora City's situation?" Asks the Russian prime minister

As they pondered this the secretary of the Chaos Breakers spoke up

"We believe that since the culprit can't be found for these past few days no matter how far we search we assume that the culprit must have escaped to London and there is probably it's next target"

"You mean London will get attacked? Asked by the Britain's prime minister

"Most likely yes" replied by the secretary of the Chaos Breakers

With that reply a commotion arose inside the conference when suddenly the US president spoke up

"Quite! Let's hear what the head general of the Chaos Breakers have to say"

Alex the de facto head general of Chaos Breakers was there listening to the conference until he spoke up

"Since this things started happening in London us chaos breakers will take full responsibility for letting the culprit escape there" he said

"With that I will order the chaos breakers in London to be full alert of course I will be arriving there as well to survey it's facilities so rest assured I'll make sure nothing happen" he added

As he paused to think of something he suddenly declared

"Since we finally found something that the chaos beings are wary off for the past ten years..... We will use it against them"

"What do you mean exactly?" Asked by the US President

"Exactly as what your thinking right now... We will dispatch this group to help the battle in London that will happen soon" he replied

And with that commotion begun to arose as Alex prophesized that there will be a deadly battle happening I London in the future
