Capítulo 34: Stay Out of My Head.

"Wow~ You've really done it now~"

Fiona could only say this as she watched the look of intense anger spread across Mark's face. Fiona knew that Grey was already saying too much and it would not end well for him! She was not surprised by the anger that Mark was showing now.

Mark has been listening to Grey right from the beginning. At first, Mark only thought that Grey was a little annoying. He didn't care that Grey didn't believe him about his patron god, and he wasn't going to bother trying to explain himself! But the more Grey spoke, the more the anger inside him kept growing until Grey finally said something about Arit! Mark slammed his fist on the table, and it came crashing down to the floor like it was made of Styrofoam! Even Tyler could feel the great amount of anger radiating off Mark!

When Mark spoke, it sent a shiver through Grey's body from how intense it was!

"Hey, you fucking cockroach, are you threatening me right now? Are you threatening me with my friend's life? Do you think that I won't tear your mouth apart just because you're a member of the NSA? I fucking dare you to say her name one more time."

Grey's throat felt extremely dry and he had to swallow nervously as he saw Mark's gaze becoming murderous! Maybe he went too far in trying to recruit Mark.

"Sorry. Perhaps I went too far right now. I shouldn't have tried to use that as a recruiting strategy. If you'll let me start over again."

"No. Get out."

Mark said this in a final tone and Grey's mouth snapped shut as he ran a hand through his hair! He would have tried to argue, but he knew that he was not in a position to try and stand his ground! Grey knew that if Mark hit him here, then he would definitely be visiting the ER! Even if Grey was superhuman, he was nothing compared to Mark! Grey looked from Fiona to Tyler, and he noticed how both of them were just ignoring him and allowing Mark to do whatever he wanted!

Why would Fiona try to help him? 

Fiona was interested in Mark and she wanted to try and recruit him into her Artemis guild later so why should she help the NSA to recruit him!? Fiona was not going to stop Grey from trying to recruit Mark since she still wanted a good relationship with the NSA, but that doesn't mean she needed to bail him out when he does something as stupid as this!

Grey was on his own and he could only swallow his pride and pack up his books! Grey knew he was going to get a serious warning from his boss later because of how he handled this situation!

"I apologize once more. Another representative will come to speak to you and show you the information that you wanted to see. I never intended to sour your relationship with the NSA."

Immediately after saying this, Grey left the room, and Mark leaned back and sighed silently as he let go of his anger. Fiona only chuckled slightly as she appreciated how Mark handled the situation. Mark might be a teenager, but he was definitely not a pushover! Most superhumans would either agree to what Grey said or they would get so angry that they would immediately attack Grey, but Mark was able to control his anger and only told Grey to get out! That showed a lot of restraint from Mark and now Fiona wanted him in her guild even more than before!

But Fiona still held back from saying anything about recruiting him as she spoke.

"Very impressive. That was quite a lot of restraint from you to not attack that man~ it will not be so bad having someone like you on my side~ A little brother that I could dote over as much as he wanted~"

[[Potential Danger] has been neutralized]

Mark glanced at his system as another prompt came up, telling him that Fiona was once again trying to use her blessing on him, and he eyed her with an irritated look on his face! Why was she so adamant to get inside his head and make him into her little brother!? Was it some sort of fetish that she had? Or was it something related to her blessing that gave her more control over people? She has become more and more subtle with the way she tried to use her blessing on him, and it was starting to piss Mark off!

Fiona blinked as she saw the irritated look on Mark's face, and she immediately figured that Mark was not under her influence this time either! But this time, there was something different! At first, Fiona thought that Mark could just repel her blessing and she assumed that she only needed to be more subtle about how she used her blessing so that he would not notice at all, but she was wrong! It wasn't that Mark could only repel her blessing, it was like Mark knew exactly when she used her blessing and he was able to tell when she tried to put him under her influence even if it was barely noticeable!

How irritating! 

Fiona's pride took a big hit as she realized this and she huffed internally! She has never seen anyone that could withstand her blessing when it was that subtle! Fiona could put subtle suggestions into people's heads and make them do whatever she wanted! If she was subtle enough, then they would never even know that they were under her control! They would just think that they were doing what they always wanted to do! But Fiona couldn't do that to Mark and it pissed her off!

"Stop trying to get inside my head. It's starting to piss me off. Next time you try something like that, we will settle it the old fashioned way. And I will not hold back just because you are a woman."

Mark said this to Fiona while turning towards the door as another person entered and Fiona immediately understood what Mark meant by 'the old-fashioned way'! Was Mark really thinking of fighting her!? She had no intention of doing that and she huffed like a child and crossed her legs before folding her hands under her large breasts and making it bounce slightly as she turned away from Mark in annoyance!

"You're not cute at all, little brother. Who wouldn't be happy being one of my underlings and serving my every whim? I'll take care of you so much you'll think you're in heaven."

Fiona could only say this as she turned away, but she didn't try to get into Mark's head anymore. Fiona knew that trying to get into his head again was only going to antagonize him, and she didn't want him to be too angry with her so that when she tried to get him to join her guild, he would at least think about it. And also, Fiona knew already tell that in a straight fight between her and Mark, he would fuck her up! 

Fiona wasn't a physically established superhuman. She was strong, but she couldn't compare to the likes of Tyler or Mark in physical abilities! She depended more on her ability to make her enemy let down their guard when she got inside their head!

It would be a disaster to fight Mark when she couldn't even use her blessing on him.

Capítulo 35: Proper Preparation

Fiona wouldn't stand a chance if she fought against Mark when she knew that her blessing wouldn't work against him!

"I heard from Mr. Grey that there was a need for a replacement since there was a small problem. Uhm… I'm Milicent with one L. It's a pleasure to meet you superhumans. Especially you, Mr. Mark Vanitas."

The woman who entered the room after Grey left finally spoke when she noticed that Fiona and Mark were no longer talking. She was a tall woman with modest assets and a slight athletic build. She wore a business suit with long black pants that hugged her legs beautifully and her entire demeanor gave off a very professional vibe! Fiona immediately recognized Milicent as one of the C-rank Superhumans who was a direct assistant to the president of the company!

Fiona raised a brow as Milicent failed to introduce herself properly, and she just decided not to say anything! Fiona was sure that the president was the one who sent Milicent here for a reason, and she would only sit back and watch what they were trying to do this time.

As Milicent spoke, she looked down at the table that was broken in the middle of the room, typed something into her phone, and made a call to someone outside the room. A few seconds later, a man entered the room with a new table over his shoulders. He dropped the table to the ground and carried the broken table away with him before closing the door. The man that just left was a superhuman handyman in charge of handling all the broken tools and equipment in the NSA, so carrying the table alone was easy for him!

Once he was gone, Milicent walked up to the side wall and spoke professionally.

"Now then, shall we begin?"

Mark nodded to Milicent, and she smiled and gestured to the ceiling with her hand. The light in the room dimmed, and Mark saw the wall glow before a large screen was projected on it from a small projector hidden in the ceiling. The first thing that showed up on the screen was a large map of the world before it slowly started to zoom into the continent of America and finally panned out until it was hovering over a single island close to City A.

"One year ago, some researchers that were trying to track the movement of Anima in and around America noticed a strange phenomenon occurring close to this island. Various heat signatures were congregating towards it, and we thought at first that these were humans. But further investigation showed us that these were not in fact humans. They were Anima heat signatures, and they were all moving towards the island as a single unit. There are no humans on the island as far as we know, so there was no sensible reason for the Anima to want to go there. We decided that we would wait longer and see what the reason for this migration could be.

"But this proved to be a mistake. As time went on, we started to notice signs of organized activity from the Anima that went to this island. They all started to build. But they weren't building over the ground; instead, they were digging tunnels that went deep into the island and started to create pathways underground for them to move through. It was as though they had become a part of a larger society, something like an ant colony. The NSA sent a small group of three A-rank and five B-rank superhumans to the island, hoping to find the reason behind this strange behavior. But even though the superhumans we sent had some of the strongest stealth-based blessings, they were immediately detected by the Anima and eliminated."

Mark narrowed his eyes as some images of the stealth team before and after the Anima found them were shown! They were completely torn apart by the Anima, but the Anima didn't seem to have eaten them at all, and they started to carry the torn human flesh into the tunnel underground! What in the world are they doing with those pieces? Mark immediately became worried that the Anima would do the same thing to Arit. Would they rip her apart like this?

But the only thing that calmed Mark's anxiety was the fact that his system mission was still active and it would not be active unless Arit was alive.

Mark shook this thought out of his head as he went back to listening to Milicent's explanation.

"After the failed expedition, we decided that we would set up a more elite team of Superhumans involving members from various guilds. The Artemis guild is one of the guilds that have offered to provide support, and in all, we have amassed a force of more than twenty A ranks and three S ranks along with many other B ranks. Based on recent emergencies, we estimate that there is more than one Country-Level Calamity on the island along with many other Disaster Class monsters. We already accounted for the Calamities by including Fiona and Tyler in the raid, but just to be sure we also added in three S ranks to prepare for any unpredictable occurrences.

"We believed that the Anima on that island were more interested in making their colony than they were in killing humans, so we didn't think we had to rush anything, but the recent attacks on City A have changed that thought, and we now know that something has to be done. We are likely going to start the operation very soon."

Mark listened to all this silently and through all of this, he couldn't help but wonder if they were wrong. How can they be sure that the monsters on that island won't be stronger than they predicted? They were only going to that island based on the assumption that the S ranks were stronger than any anima they could encounter,

"What would you do if the Superhumans you send are not strong enough to handle the monsters on that island? Shouldn't you involve other guilds and ask for their help?"

A sour look crossed over Milicent's face once she heard Mark say this. Mark didn't know if it was because of what he said regarding their research or if she was angry about him advising her to talk to other guilds. In the short time that he has been here, Mark could tell that the NSA did not play nice with other guilds. It seemed like they only tolerated their presence for some reason.

Mark waited to see what Milicent would say, and once she spoke, Mark realized that she was annoyed about everything that came out of his mouth.

"We have done extensive research regarding the possible monsters that would appear on the island. Researchers and superhumans died in order to bring us substantial information during their last trip, so I would appreciate it if you didn't undermine our work for the sake of your curiosity."

Mark shrugged at this and Milicent continued.

"And with regards to the other guilds. This mission was open for all guilds to accept. There were no restrictions placed on it, and we even sent out written letters to the heads of various guilds. The Athena guild was the only one that responded. According to the others, they required more financial compensation for the risk involved. We do not need such fools who are not aware of the dangers faced by the people of the city."

She has a very sharp tongue.

Mark chuckled as this thought filtered through his mind, and he could only nod along as Milicent continued to talk. Mark knew that the NSA had every right to be spiteful with regards to the other guilds not accepting to join the mission, but Mark just hoped that they weren't allowing their anger to cloud their sensibility. 

If the superhumans go to that island and the monsters there turn out to be much stronger than initially estimated, then there is no way anyone would be coming back alive.
