Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 27: Disgusted

"Well, I've told you all what Master Zhun wanted to say," Ryan said as he clapped his hands. As soon as he clapped his hands, The room slowly started to return back to normal. They were no longer in a peaceful garden.

Ryan walked towards Alex, a smile on his face. But he was stopped in the middle of the way by a hand over his shoulders, "Ryan. What do you mean that Master Zhun will die soon?" A deep unfamiliar voice spoke with slight sadness.

Alex looked towards the source of the voice and to his surprise, he didn't remember seeing that man anywhere. 'Is he like Ryan as well?' Alex asked himself as he tried to remember if he saw that man anywhere.

Hana looked towards Alex and smiled, "You must be confused right now. The one who just spoke is Shadow and well, his power is that he can blend in with the shadows around him. He was in the room where Master Zhun told everyone about your appraisal and he was also in this meeting. But this meeting you probably don't remember well because of Ryan." She explained slowly.

Alex nodded and looked back towards Ryan, who only smiled and nodded in response to Shadow's words. Alex looked more carefully towards Shadow, he had a completely black suit, long wild hair, and a buff body. 'He would be noticed anywhere but because of his powers, No one can. He just blends in at any place'

Ryan shook his head, even though he was still smiling there was a look of sadness deep within his eyes. It seemed like Ryan truly cared for Master Zhun but he was hiding the fact that he did. "Shadow, It's what he said. He kept on complaining about his age so at first, I thought he was joking but later on, he said that he was completely serious. Master Zhun said that he could see his own future as well as his death. Although he didn't tell me his reason for death he did keep on complaining about his age and how it will be the end of it."

Ryan walked back to the middle and looked around " This talk about Master Zhun's death is from me to you all. He only told me to inform the others to appoint a new leader after a few months but It would be unfair for you all to not know about his condition. I'm not sure as well about how he will die but from his own words, and I quote: 'My age will be the death of me.' It seems like he might pass for age-related problems. The reason I'm telling you all this is very simple. If you know any way that we can prolong his life, I'd appreciate it."

By the look on Ryan's face, everyone knew that he was being genuine. Ryan deeply cared for Master Zhun and the talk about him passing away felt like a defeat for Ryan. He was Master Zhun's protector. Him knowing that the person who he was supposed to protect would die soon felt like defeat.

Shadow nodded and walked back to his seat. Ryan nodded and walked towards Alex, his frown slowly turning into a smile. Even though Alex saw the smile he knew that Ryan wasn't as happy as he looked. "Alright, The talk is done." Ryan said as he looked at Alex.

He then turned to Hana, "Hana, You and Alex follow me. I want to have a small chat." Ryan said as he turned to the door and walked. Alex nodded and followed Hana behind Ryan. He turned to Hana and said in a quiet voice, "Does he need something from me? I understand why he is calling you but I don't know why I'm here with you. I should just be in the apartment. I don't understand why I'm being called." Hana shook her head and looked towards Ryan. As soon as she did, Ryan laughed, "Well, It's something about Trust. I didn't trust you enough Alex so I had to use a direct illusion on you. Something that even S-Ranks have difficulties dealing with. But now, I feel like I can trust you enough. Especially if you have Hana's trust. Let's talk more when we get into my office." He said as he walked towards a huge door. Ryan looked into a monitor which seemed to scan his face. After a second or so, The doors opened up.

"Some of us have to do a lot of paperwork and some, Like Hana, just leave it all lying up which we have to do it for her," Ryan said sarcastically as he looked towards the pile of papers and copies all over his room.

Hana shook her head, "I was forced into a job that I don't like." Hearing her words, Ryan laughed.

He then walked towards his desk and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Hana. "Read this." Ryan's face was all serious now.

Hana, seeing Ryan's serious expression took the paper and started to read it slowly. Bit by bit, word by word Hana's expression slowly transformed. Her calm expression was turned into that of disgust and then slowly turned into anger.

Alex, who was standing next to Hana could feel her anger when she read the paper. He turned towards the paper that Hana was reading and his face turned into that of horror.

'Log#13. We started off with 50 children, all awakened. All of them had good powers, some even worthy to be S ranks if they were developed. But things soon went out of hand. The new injections weren't working. every dose I gave, the weaker the looked. But as they did start to look weaker, their bodies were growing. 6-year-olds- 7-year-olds looked like they were in their 20's. Especially the girls'

Alex's eyes opened wide, his face was red from rage. He knew why Hana was angry, who wouldn't be. The last sentence itself could bring anger to anyone who read it.

Ryan looked towards Hana with a serious expression, "You understand, right? I don't know who is funding these experiments but, it's someone with very high standing. I presume a government official. They are conducting experiments again. This time much worse than what happened 20 years ago Much much worse."
