Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 39: More Questions

Buster then said, "But it also has many victims of experiments in the hospital. Some are still recovering from the horrific experiments that they had to go through." Midnight nodded when she heard Buster. "Many have been discharged from the hospital after making a proper recovery but some seem to have trauma from those experiments. Just saying the name of the ones who experimented on them was enough to weaken them mentally, making them unable to battle properly. Although fighting reapers wouldn't cause that, it's a measure to keep everyone safe."

Alex nodded, it seemed like he understood more about the experiments. He looked at the buster once more and asked, "How about at this time? Would experiments still continue to happen even when they know that there are more awakened out there who would try their best to take them down?"

Hearing Alex's question, Buster furrowed his eyebrows and thought for a few seconds. " Sadly, the answer is yes. Now, I think it's even easier for them to get away with it. More gates are opening, meaning more people awaken. We find locations of newly awakened individuals because it leaves a small energy signature that can be detected with scanners. It's sad to say but from what I've heard, There seem to be more awakened missing. Yesterday, we had nearly a dozen new awakened but out of the dozen 3 were missing. The government sends people to collect them and prevent them from misusing their powers but when they got to the area, the awakened were already missing."

Buster sighed, "There will always be a bad in this world, no matter how much you try to make it good." Alex nodded, all of this wasn't new information as Alex had already heard the brief from Ryan but he did seem to understand more about this world.

Midnight looked at Alex with a curious gaze and asked, "I understand you're curious about this world but we expected you to ask about things like food and culture and similar, not something dark like experiments being conducted on new awakened and so on." Alex shook his head and laughed, "It's really nothing. I just heard a few things between Hana and Ryan's conversation and just got a bit curious, that's it."

Midnight paused for a bit but a smiled appeared on her face, "Speaking of Hana, She is a special one"

Alex looked at midnight and questioned, "Special? How is she special?"

"Well, even though I said that the ones who were experimented on wouldn't be able to join the awakened team to battle reapers from the gates. I guess there are always some form of expectations. Hana is one of them. She was also someone who had to go through traumatic experiments but she didn't show any proper sign of mental stress when the topic of the ones who experimented on her was brought up. Instead, she showed huge signs of intense anger. It was like she would instantly kill them if she ever saw them again. But once again, her emotions were justified"

Ales looked curious about what Midnight was talking about. He asked, "Justified, how so? What happened to her? Do you know?"

Midnight couldn't help but laugh when she saw Alex's reactions. Buster also seemed to laugh a bit. "Hmm, you seem to show some interest in our cold queen. But she also seems a bit less cold to you I guess that doesn't matter. Answering your question, I guess we need to bring up Goodwill hospital once again."

Alex questioned, "The hospital? Why is it related to that?" Midnight nodded to Alex's question, "The hospital indeed, It's a place that Hana seems to visit often. We don't really know who she visits or why she visits the hospital but from what I've heard, some of the victims of the experiments that Hana had been through were also there. But I don't know anything else about that. If you ask me, Hana is an amazing and kind woman but she tends to keep to herself. I'd say, she is the type of person who would hide all her emotions until she mentally breaks down. I assume that this mental breakdown hasn't happened yet so we never know how she will handle it. But if it does happen, It might be a good thing. She might finally accept that acknowledging her feelings is the only way one can true to themselves and others around them." Midnight looked around the car and laughed, "it seems like I went off into my rant again."

Buster shook his head, "It's okay, you just gave Alex his answer. We've already discussed this before. We want Hana to be the next leader of the awakened, She is strong, maybe the strongest among us. We don't know that for sure as she hasn't shown her powers to the full extent till now but from what we've seen, Hana is more than capable of being the leader. The only two things that the others don't accept is that she hasn't shown her real emotions to us, but that's the minor part. The main reason that most of the awakened don't accept her is that she hasn't shown her true powers. They would rather have Gold, someone who we all acknowledge as one of the most powerful awakenings on this planet as the leader. It seems justified but I believe that based solely on power, Hana is more than capable of defeating Gold. In my opinion, The fact that Master Zhun couldn't predict Hana's ability was a sign that her true powers were something that someone like Master Zhun couldn't pinpoint to. I'm thankful you brought up this subject because I have a request for you, related to it."

Buster looked towards Alex with a small smile. Alex looked curious about what busted wanted to ask, "Can I know the question?"

Buster nodded, He looked towards Alex with a serious expression, "Help us. We need to show the world how powerful Hana is and that she is more than capable of being the leader of the organization"
