Chapter 5: The Meeting (Reboot)

"Hello Mr.Anderson."

'What the hell are they doing here.'

I can see three people sitting in the cabin, They are my mother Tara, President of H.A branch in the Korea Go Gun hee and Woo jin-chul the vice-president of Korea H.A branch.

They are important characters in solo leveling world.

"I have seen you when you are young, look how time flies you've become a man now," said the Gunhee seeing towards me with a small smile.

"Greetings President Gunhee hope you're doing well, how are you Mr.Jin chul," I greeted two of them.

"I'm as healthy as an old man of my age can be," replied the old man.

"I'm good Mr.Anderson." was the reply from jin chul.

"So the topic must be very important if you three are discussing it, but my question is what am I doing here." Looking at my mother I asked, I guess it must be about some joint mission.

"You're right, this is very important, we are about to conduct a joint mission in jeju Island as an S rank gate is manifested there sometime ago, it broke and the entire island is out of reach and it seems to be somewhat troublsome to deal with. So, you and cassendra are selected for the mission along with some others in providing support for the Korea branch H.A, while Casandra provide support and assist the hunters you will be giving your support in both defence and offence with your powers,am I clear Mr.Anderson," my mom address me with my surname in only two cases, one case is when teasing me and the other is on very important occasion.

"Yes ma'am" with a salute I replied.

"We will discuss about the time of ride and other things now," they went on with their meeting leaving me with my thoughts.

Beru...it was the first name that came to my mind when I heard the name of Jeju Island.

In solo leveling, he is a loyal and one of the powerful general in the shadow army of jin woo. I can't say for sure that beru is born as this is a mixed world but according to the original plot he is about to be born.

With Korea H.A asking for support, I can assume that either they already tried their best just like in the original and failed to clear it or they are being cautious since it is the second time an S rank gate appeared in Korea.

An S rank gate appears very rarely and when the first S rank gate appeared in korea, it cost half of the best hunters for them to clear it leaving only five S rank hunters currently present, while one of them migrated to other place and the other one seems to be newly evaluated as an S rank.

'They really lack man power to clear it' after thinking about the situation it seems logical for them to ask for help if they can reduce casualties, that is especially the case with the old man gunhee.

*After ending the meeting, with Gunhee and junchul*

Two men are seated in the car going to the rift to return to Korea.

"So, what do you think about him, jin-chul," Gunhee asked jin-chul to hear his opinion on Mark.

"If we were to fight I'll loose, while it appears we are on the same level as A rank hunters on surface, my intuition tells me that he is hiding his powers."replied jin-chul expressing his thoughts.

"You are right, even I am surprised when he first came in. The energy we sense from him is clearly of an A rank hunter, but the feeling he gives off is different, I can say with my experience that if we were to fight it will end with my defeat, it seems I'm getting old while the young ones are getting strong..hahaha.."Gunhee said while laughing.

Jin-chul's eyes widened in surprise not expecting that the president himself said that.

Then jin-chul's phone rang when he picks up and listen the reason for the call, he let a sign.

"What happened jin-chul."questions Gunhee after observing jin-chul reaction.

"It seems that Mr.Choi and Mr.Beak are fighting in a restaurant as the winner will get to eat the last dish from the restaurant which is getting famous recently," he signed in defeat after saying that.

"Hahaha...Youth...haha.."the old man simple laughed and soon they left the Star City.

*With Mc*

"I'm going for the meeting in Magnolia and you're coming with me, it will be a few days trip, so make preparations, now you can leave,"my mother informs me as she is flipping the papers and going through their contents.

"Is that all you have to say to me,"expecting some reaction from her but was depressed when she says "yes, now you can leave"still seeing the papers.

'sign...talk about being professional' I thought internally.

"Where is Uma, I can't seem to find her here." I asked her.

"She is out of the city and why are calling the president by her name, she is older than me." She replied with irrigation.

"She told me to call her by her name." I replied.

'Hmm...I want to talk to her about what Cassie told me but it seems that have to...wait..why can't I just use my reality warping on me to give myself Cassie's powers temporarily.'

I can give my self temporary and permanent abilities by using reality manipulation on me but that will consume large energy.

Master of Martial arts and curtain are the permanent abilities I got myself for convenience.

Gates of Babylon and KAMEHAMEHA are created my with their original as reference.

Getting Cassie's powers permanent will cost me more energy than my current reserves but by gaining them temporary will reduce the cost.

'Let me try it...' with same simple thought I got the ability and soon I realised it was a mistake.

Suddenly I have a vision...my sister....she is... dying....in a pool of blood....she lays lifeless in front of my mother who is no better.....my mother is breathing heavily.... looking at someone in front of her....she tried to fight him... but her head cut off...

The vision ends....

"Mark are you okay,"she rushs to me immediately as I'm breathing heavily as I was assaulted by many visions of them dying in different ways...

"Mark say something," she says while holding me by my shoulders with concern.

The meta ability I created based on Cassie's power is a double edged sword.

If she can master this ability fully then it will be one of the OP Ability, but the problem is that sometimes the ability actives automatically when she is emotionally unstable.

This happened to Cassie previously as she is thinking about our future and suddenly she was assaulted with different possibilities of our future like how Dr.Strange in infinity war used time stone to see the different futures.

The same is also happening to me, I wanted to see what Cassie saw in her visions and after seeing my mother and sister's death, I was effected and now I was assaulted with visions of my sister and mother dying.

"God..Mark you're sweating like crazy, what are you doing with your powers," after seeing me like this she immediately understood that I'm using my reality warping powers, she holds me in her arms and caresses my back.

She knows about my powers since I trust her with my life, so sharing my powers is not that big of a deal to me.

After coming out of those visions I looked in her eyes.

"I'm sorry for doing this, mom.."she is confused at first but after realising what I'm planning to do her eyes widened.

"Mark don't..."she was stopped mid way with the words that left my mouth.
