Suzan left the mansion of Daniel to bring Sophia. Daniel went to his secret laboratory and began the preparations to create the antidote, Zack and Ken also followed him."So, Sir Daniel, you are a scientist too as well as a journalist," Zack said looking around In the laboratory."Both of my parents were incredible scientists and doctors, so I know all about medical science as I worked alongside them since childhood, and then one day they were killed while helping the injured from the Devil's attack..." Daniel told."Oh, I'm sorry, may their souls rest in peace" Zack consolidated."Yeah, and writing is my passion, so I'm a renowned journalist as you can see" Daniel continued."Yes, you're quite famous, it's only a few months ago that Ken told me that you're his father, the last time came to your house he didn't even mention you," Zack said while looking at Ken."Haha, Ken am I that unimportant to you?" Daniel asked Ken while laughing."Nah, Dad I didn't just want to show off" Ken repl
2 days laterAt 4 am...Ken had completed his basic training with Suzan"Thanks, ma'am, I have a feeling that I'd be able to ace this exam"." It's time to head out, let's get going," Zack said."Best of luck both of you," said Sophia."Thanks, Aunt" Zack smiled."Don't the two of you let me down..." Suzan's eyes were somewhat filled with tears."Ma'am, don't worry about Zack, I'll take care of him" Ken asserted."I know kid, you always had taken care of him...and I'm not worried, It's just...I won't be able to see him for a while..." she barely spoke.Zack moved towards her and hugged her, "Mom, I'll be back in one piece...just wait for me" Zack looked unusually emotional.The tears Suzan was trying to hold inside her eyes, rolled down her cheeks."I'm counting on you," she said.Ken seeing this also shed a tear but with a calm smile on his face."My prayers are with the two of you...do your best" said Suzan.The boys headed towards the destination after saying farewell."Ken, Increa

All of the candidates went to the waiting area, they were stable enough to not be shifted to the infirmary.They were offered water and some energy-boosting drinks.After a while of rest, Sir Alex came with his subordinates."Now I'll announce the names of the candidates who have passed the entrance exam and also the team and unit they are assigned to".Some of the candidates looked pretty nervous, Ken looked at Eliza's team "I hope they will pass, they are so good and helpful and it's also nice that they know how to not leave an injured friend behind unlike this arrogant girl in my team" he thought."A total of 9 candidates have been passedTheir names areZack EverestViolet ColbertRachel FrankHenry HowardSarah PalinKen DanielJoseph SmithEliza GabrielLeo LucileWe have observed your fighting styles and abilities and judged which of you should be put on the same team and which unit you're best suited for.The first teamSarah Palin, Leo Lucile, and Joseph Smith you three are a
The next day, at 5 am.Zack's team was still asleep as they were much fatigued by yesterday's test, including Zack himself when the alarms in their rooms started to ring. All of them woke up and went to freshen up themselves and got ready. They were called outside at 5:45 and given breakfast by a bot who also conveyed the message to be in the meet-up room at 6:15."Angels of the burning Sun have some high-level technology I really didn't expect like how even in the test our opponents were robots, how are they so advanced in AI and stuff, the world outside the organization couldn't even imagine" Ken mumbled after he finished his breakfast."Stop your mumbling once in a while, have at least your breakfast with peace" Zack replied."You just can't bear my observation skills could ya haha" Ken kept quiet after that.Violet stood up exactly at 6:15, without asking the time, Ken looked at his wristwatch and said: "it's time let's go, Zack".Zack wondered how she knew the exact time was she
After a few hours.Sir Jason entered the meet-up room where Zack, Ken, and Violet were reading the thick-sized manuals which were lying on the table along with the weapons."Hey guys, how am I looking?"Upon hearing the footsteps and Sir Jason's voice Ken and Zack looked up, it was Sir Jason but with a weird get-up and artificial nose, they tried their best but could not control their laugh."Hahahaha...What is with this weird disguise Sir Jason?" Ken said while laughing uncontrollably."What am I not looking fine to you?" Sir Jason said with a worried face."No Sir you are looking like a weirdo hahaha," Zack said with a poker face and laughed afterward."Stop laughing idiots, I am not the only one who is going to travel in disguise, go to your rooms there are your getups as well, these dresses are specially designed to hide our weapons as well they are not as durable as the Angels of the burning Sun's uniform but we can not afford to show ourselves as the soldiers now plus this is a
Zack, Ken, Violet, and Sir Jason finally arrived at the woodland crossing which they will find the destination for their first mission as a team.They were able to sneak into the forest without catching any attention. They walked into the forest without using any powers like ordinary sightseers. According to their anticipated time, they'll reach the ruins in a day or so with a four hours sleep break.Next day.Everything went the way they planned, they reached the ruins. It was once a prosperous city that had mysteriously disappeared without a trace thousand of years ago.They could not find any trace of the foes after searching for hours. "Maybe they have also anticipated that they would be investigated so they are hiding their presence otherwise it would be a piece of cake to find their evil aura within a range of 75km" Sir Jason put in."A sensory range of 75 kilometers, amazing isn't it Zack" Ken was surprised."Hmm you're right that's quite a feat to have sensory detection power
Violet was about to save herself with her sword but before she could do so Zack suddenly spoke "No Violet don't" he spoke in a manner as if he sensed she intended to destroy the devils.Zack attacked the devil's arm with the weapon Sir Jason had given him and saved Violet."We have to fight them but keep them alive," said Zack.Violet accepted Zack's advice and slowly withdrew her sword from her sheath. The devil—greedy and rage-filled—was still sprawled on the ground in front of her, his black eyes boring into her with vicious intensity. Taking a deep breath, she raised her weapon, just as Zack had done moments before, and the devil's hand flew to his chest, gripping what remained of his tattered shirt. Thin rivulets of blood ran down his forearm, seeping into the dirt beneath him.Violet had just raised her sword above her head when a loud thud echoed through the night, followed by a satisfying groan. In a matter of seconds, the devil lay motionless on the ground, knocked out cold.
