Chapter 28: Why do I hear Boss Music?
"There's no need to scare the kid Beliz!" Rad said as he let out a hearty laugh from his chest. He was dressed in louse pants and shirts in the same style that Titania was, he could tell who pick his wardrobe.
He walked over to Titania and extended his hand towards him. He let out a charming smile, "Please call me Rad." Titania smiled back at him and shook his hand. All of the cameras pointed at their hands making contact.
"Finally," Titania thought to himself, "A nice and respectable man."
Rad let go of his hand and walked back to the side of the room where he was before. He started stretching his arms and legs to loosen himself up and get ready. Titania started to do the same at his side of the room.
Did Titania know how to fight? Well... The answer is yes and no. He did martial arts for two years as kid because his parents thought he was getting too lazy, he stopped when he was twelve, which was a long time ago. Not only that, they only taught him how to do kicks, nothing with his hands.
Will he get his ass beat? 'Yes,' Titania thought to himself.
"What do you prefer to be called?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow to show his genuine curiosity, "Subject Zero or Titania?"
Titania didn't really cared what he was called, in fact he thought it was cool that he was called 'Subject Zero'. He felt welcomed and embraced by the researchers of the facility. Sure he is an experiment and would drop him if he stops producing results but still welcomed. Thus he didn't care what he was called.
"Whatever floats your boat, General Rad." Titania said flashing a smile at him, "Yes I know what you said earlier about calling you Rad but please, let's have some form of formalities."
"Ahh, an aristocrat." He mumbled under his breath.
"Alright Zero," He said as he put his hands up, started jumping a bit to get his heart rate up, "Bah, I find a nickname for you, I got a knack for stuff like that."
[New Mission!]
[Defend yourself from General Rad the Steadfast until the assessment is over! ]
[Duration: ???]
[Reward: 1 Free Random Talent (Compatibility not guaranteed)]
Titania looked at the new mission that he was given and was not surprised that he got something like this. This was expected, this type of mission happened usually when the player encounters a significant character or is challenged by someone how is significantly stronger than them.
This battle was going to happen either way, at least he is going to get rewarded for doing so.
'Eh, something is better than nothing' Titania thought when he looked at the reward from the mission , 'I'll take what I can get.'
Beliz and Ajax looked at each other while after watching this interaction. They both had their personal thoughts on it.
Beliz thought that the two were getting along well, which will help keeping the status quo as there won't be any competing personalities that might jeopardize the whole facility. Not only would it keep the status quo but it might help with the reports that Rad will have to fill out in the future, bring in a stable amount of funding and materials. And who knows? Beliz might get a promotion or a raise from it.
He would be okay or might even encourage Titania to develop a personal relationship with Rad. So long as he doesn't end up getting hurt, mentally, physically or emotionally.
Ajax on the other hand was worried from what he saw. He saw the way that his father smiled at Titania and the way he talked. Just from this small interaction alone he could they have formed a small bond already. A connection between them was made already and it would only grow stronger. He could see the both of them ruling the battle field with an iron fist. Fear filled his mind at the sheer possibility of the two together.
Well, what does he know? His intelligence is his lowest stat.
And why should he fear this possibility? This is a bright future for the Imperial Misty Serenity Republic! They would be able to contend with the other nations of this world, and fight. Fight for land, resources, pressure their enemies, and for their nation!
Fight for oil.
He turned to looked at Beliz for some form of comfort of his vision of his future but all he sees is Beliz's fixated on Titania's position, watching his every move, analyzing him from head to toe like his father, but, his reason looked different.
He gazes at Titania not with scientific eye for research or for finding hidden knowledge. But with human emotion.
Is that worry Ajax's sees in Beliz's eye? A human concern for the man that bends metal with his mind. No, not concern but worry.
Worry for his experiment? Worry for the person? Worry that he might fail? He sees worry but not the source.
Ajax's sees Beliz grip his Tablet hard in his hand, turning his knuckles white. The stylus on the verge of snapping in half from his finger pressuring it with his forefinger. His knee constantly jerking nervously at a rapid pace only growing quicker in movement.
He turns his attention back toward the fight brewing in front of them. They haven't done anything other than stretching but anyone could feel the tension rising in the room.
Beliz cleared his throat loud enough to get everyone's attention in the room. "We will begin the combat assessment when the both of you are ready. Note that I will stop the fight when we have gather enough data. And finally, no fatal or significant injuries will be allowed."
When Ajax heard that last sentence he raised his eyebrow at Beliz.
"Alright! Alright! I'm ready when you are boy!" Rad shouted from his side of the room pounding his heart in excitement and letting out another hearty laugh.
'Why do I hear boss music right now?' Titania thought to himself as he prepared himself to fight Rad.
