Terror Infinity Side B

Chapter 11 - 2, H.O.T.D Intermission

I went back to my room and got a different change of clothes different then the ones I came here with. Light fitting clothes that were easy to breathe in. I then went over to Aqua's room and all three of them, along with Mokoto and the buttler were already there.

Aqua: Don't tell me that you were late becaue you couldn't decide on your attire? Your not a woman..

Shin: It's good to see you too. Thanks for inviting me.

Aqua: Well hurry up and eat up. My personal buttler has been complaining that the meal's getting cold.

Aqua exchanged some high quality wine from God and her buttler poured everyone a glass.

According to Aqau, relative to the practical items, these kinds of entertainment related items were very inexpensive. With just a single point we were able to get all kinds of drinks.

Most of us were too young to drink, but we were risking our lives, so we forgot about the rules of our old lives.

Aqua's buttler was sure enough an five star chef and everyone enjoyed the meal. Even though there were only ten dishes, all the food were expensive items they couldn't get in the real world. From the biggest lobster I have ever seen and some disgusting sounding dishes that apparently cost a lot of money in the real world.

Aqua: God's especially generous at entertainment, especially food. Even a billionaire in the real world probably couldn't compete with us. We drink wine over a hundred year like water, smoke the highest quality cigarette and can get any form of entertainment from video games, movies and even the latest issues of manga. Hell, I even have a computer connect to the real world.

Hikari: A computer? Can you email others?

Aqua: No. You can't email or leave behind messages on websites.

Shin: It was too bad about not being able to contact the real world, but I am not too saddened since I have no one worth talking to back there. Besides, I have everything I need here. And if it wasn't for the dangers, this wouldn't be a bad place to live. You go to the real world when you're bored, then come back here. If such an option existed I would be set.

Hikari: Shin has a point, but I still want to go back home. That's why we have to live, survive through all the missions. Then we can choose to live however we like. Whether it's to go back to the real world or stay here.

Misaki: Yeah, and I am definitely going back home.

Aqua: Alright then. I will bring you guys to the training grounds now. Take a break and we will start training. You have nine days then we will have to welcome the next mission in our best condition.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The room Aqua created was huge.

She led all of us downstairs and we left the human creations behind.

We were amazed with what we saw. In front of us was an area as big as a pro soccor field. It looked like a professional military grade training room. Aqua looked over the room with a hint of pride in her face and told us more about it.

Aqua: At first I didn't know that you can change the room as you pleased, but after figuring it out, you just have to focus and imagine on where you want to change while holding the room's handle outside. God will also amend any imperfections you have. Just like this training ground. It is a replica of the training facility I went to after I joined the JSD and before I assigned to the naval unit, of course with a few modifications here and there.

Aqua's training ground was separated into a few areas. There's a target practice field, the latest weightlifting equipment, a long distance running field, an obstacle running field, and a close combat platform, an olympics sized pool and even a very high rock climbing wall ( Which completely dwarfs how far the stair we descended were ).

Aqua: Starting today, everyday from 8am to 12pm, 1pm to 6pm, and 7pm to 12am, we will train nonstop. We won't see any results on our body with just these few days of training, so we will start with shooting and close combat excersises. You will also have to run and test your limits. Once you know your own limits you can plan ahead in the missions. There's really was too much we need to go over in these nine days, so lets get started.

Aqua then gave everyone a description of the purposes of each training. Long distance running and obstacle running was obvious. Close combat was necessary, shooting was an important factor in sci-fi and futuristic missions.

Everyone agreed to her plans and went to work.

Misaki immediately went over to weightlifting area and was already testing the limits of his enhanced strength and was pushing himself hard from the very beginning.

Hikari: Muscle brain idiot...

Shin: It is nice to see that you are not only harsh with me, Hikari. So Aqua, what about guns? Do we go exchange them for training? Or are we using your Auto 9?

Aqua: No need to worry your pretty little head over spending what few points you have left. Didn't I say you can create anything in your room? It's just that you can't take many of these things out of the room. Go take a look at that storehouse in the corner. I have already made guns that we can test out. You can also test the power of sci-fi weapons. Even though they are expensive, but you should probably exchange one when you have the points later on.

Hikari: You... Probably can't create magical weapons in this room, right?

Shin: Why?

Aqua: Hikari means that it would be too much of an advantage. I kept trying to make magic weapons and tools, but I couldn't create them and failed, so God probably put a restraint on this.

Hikari: I thought as much. This confirm that supernatural missions will tend to be harder then the sci-fi ones. The most difficult missions are probably the supernatural and magical ones, so God wouldn't let us get familiar with these types of weapons to decrease their difficulty. Anyway, if I have the points I will probably only get one sci-fi weapon and spend the rest on magical weapons. That's what I am plan for now.

Aqua: That isn't a bad thought, but first work on your physical parameters. You need to be able to run from any kind of monster till you get enough points to fight them head on.

Hikari: Why not become strong enough to defeat them right away?

Aqua: What do you mean? You are obviously a support/explanation type character. You will probably tend to lean on the rest of us, but it is an important role for someone to help us out from behind.

Hikari: ...Explanation character.

That was great!

Not only was Hikari's face priceless once someone pointed out her default character, my 1500 points and last rank D reward didn't go to waste. With it, I will be able understand and test out a magic weapon.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Aqua spent the rest of the afternoon teaching us how to use guns.

Of course, other than testing out sci-fi guns for fun, we placed our main focus on normal guns and luckly Aqua already had the same models that I exchanged for. Everyone's main focus was on their shooting accuracy, so besides weightlifting and running around the track, Hikari and Misaki spent the most of their time on target practice.

As for me, Aqau thought that it was best her to be directly in charge of my training and so she became my sparing without even me agreeing to it, but it wasn't like I didn't like or understand why. Of the four current members of our team, the two with the highest stats and enhancements were Aqua and myself, and the difference between us and them, Hikari and Misaki was night and day. Even without using any special powers I knew I could take either one of them, even Misaki the former biker gang leader.

Aqua led me to the combat platform and faced herself right in front of me.

From what I knew I wasn't a match for her.

With the exception of her Auto 9, Aqau has been using her points to enhance herself greatly. Wolverine Genetic Mutation including Adamantium skeleton, High Werewolf Bloodline and Mid Class Hunter Nen ( I heard she wanted Upper Class Nen/Aura, although she had enough rank rewards she lacked the points and is saving up for it ). Aqua was also probably in the army back in the real world, a naval seal and special ops member at that.

In ever considerable way Aqua was much more experienced than myself in close combat. It would take no time at all for her to knock down to the ground.

Aqua: First, are you fine with hitting a girl?

Shin: ...You make it sound like I'm even going to land a blow in, and yes I am somewhat okay with it. I am a modern man who believes in gender equality like Touta Konoe. I say if you can hit a man you can hit a women... Long as they are threatening your life. Any other reason is a disgrace for a man.

Aqua: That is good to know, but if Hikari could hear that she would save, "Creep, The worst and stay away from me loser!" and things like that.

Shin: You imitation is flawless, but can we get started?

Aqua: Ok, but how much do you understand about your current power and abilities?

Shin: Not much at all. I can feel that I am much more powerful then ever before, but I don't know to what extent. Thanks to the Na Ring that activated with my Ki, I now have an idea how to bring out Ki, but I have no idea about my ghoul's Kagune weapon.

Aqua: From that famous cannibalism manga, right? How do they use them?

Shin: Who knows. I think full ghouls will just know for the most part, but I am not a full ghoul, but a One-eyed half ghoul like the protagonist. In the manga it came at first due to stress, but later on after he had a spiritual awakening of sorts he could bring it out as he liked and overall became stronger as well.

Aqua: Sounds like you choose a difficult power to wield. Why did you choose it and all the way to it's B reward variant?

Shin: Because it was cool.

Aqua: ...

Shin: It's fine, right? I'll master my powers eventually, so don't look at me as if I was some pitiful child. Why did you choose your then? The Wolverine and Werewolf mutations.

When I asked that Aqua looked away in embarrassment and was even blushing a little. It was extremely cute on a girl who normally doesn't do that, but that is why it was confusing. What was so embarrassing about my question?

Aqua: My, my favorite animal is the wolf and I have always been a fan of Wolverine from the X-Men. When I first got here to God's world and saw all these genetic enhancements, I was excited to get them for myself and as luck would have it just like you I ended up with a lot of points and rewards for my first mission. Over 4000 points and two rank C rewards. Then after two more movies ( Still horror movies at this point ) I had all the reward for the Wolverine Genetic Mutation up to B.

Shin: Ok. Then what? Also, weren't you afraid of turning into a monster by having two Genetic Mutations?

Aqua: ...I thought they were the same.

Shin: ...What?

Aqua: I thought they were the same. That both a werewolf and a wolverine both types of wolves, so I thought that my chances that they would blend together were high.

Shin: What, but a wolverine is...

Aqua: I learned about it after the fact.

Shin: ...Are you a idiot?

Aqua: Shut up! I mean, who would look at Wolverine and think a small animal? Although I now know that despite it's size the wolverine is a strong animal capable of taking down those much larger then themselves, which is pretty cool, but still...

Shin: ...

Aqua: Don't look at me like that! Do you want to die!? Ah, never mind all of that. Lets get to training already. I need to let my stress, I mean get you ready for the next mission.

Aqua's true intentions came out in the end, but I didn't dare comment any further of my surprisingly air headed veteran solider of six missions.

It was worth it in the end to see such a cute side to her, and it only cost me getting the shit beat out of me for the next few hours.

Was it really worth it... Who knows.
