Chapter 22 - bang bang!

Bang bang!

Two silver bullets tore through the air aimed straight at Sun-Young's face.

「Shit! Im dead!」were her thoughts as she heard the noise

Woosh!

Ha-joon who was standing next to managed to push her out the way, but the bullets completely destroyed his entire right hand.

"F-fuck!"

Ha-joon let out a shout and glanced at the barrel aimed right at his head, but the next bullets never came. Sparks burst from the cloaked man's hand as he growled in pain.

"You bitch! Come here-"

Crack!

The man's face snapped back as a foot landed right on his face and knocked him off the roof, ten kaiju exterminator jumped off and surrounded the man, a long monowire came out one exterminators palm and wrapped around the man's ankle before slamming him against a building and then down onto the alley below.

Pow! Pow!

A right hook, a round house kick, a haymaker and all types of attacks came from all directions.

The man tried raising his gun once again only to be picked up from behind by someone a whole foot taller than him. Metallic fingers dug into his pelvis as he was slammed on the ground repeatedly... all until his face was unrecognisable.

"Dont kill him! We need to keep him alive for questioning"

"Got it!

One man barked as the others nodded. Sun Young and ha-joon watched the fight unfold from the roof. Then a medical AV landed right behind them with a few doctors rushing out to treat Ha-joon's wound.

Five hours later

Sun-Young sat on a metal bench waiting for Ha-joon to come out medical room, and surely he came out, flexing and moving his brand new arm which Sun-Young paid for

"You happy with it? It's one of those new herculean models... 'hercules prime' heh, what a name"

Sun-Young chuckled while Ha-joon kept a straight face

"Thanks for the arm"

"No problem, it cost me only 3,499$"

『She spend that much money on me?!』

The hallway was relatively quiet, there were small drones hovering around along with their android companions. This hospital was purely for the rich, which was every citizen in York-3.

A soft light shone through the shutters, a light that illuminated Sun-Young slightly round face. The white tile floor was pristine just like the rest of the relatively large hospital

"By the way have you heard anything about jae-wook?" Sun-Young asked

"Hmm no, im sure his squad leader is looking though, there's no way he is missing!"

「But he is」Sun-Young lampooned and got up from the bench.

The two walked through the hallway

「Its watching me」

Ha-joon felt a chill creep up as he looked around to see nothing

「I can feel it somewhere... that gaze」

When he glanced up ahead he let out a shout of fear. At the end of hallway stood something

Surrounded by darkness a figure wearing a hat stood still. It wore a pointy hat and had hollow black eyes. The creature was too big for the hallway, it's four hands grabbing onto the walls as it breathed.

「Whats up with him?」

"Hey what's wrong?" Sun-Young asked while staring at ha-joon who was clearly hyperventilating. She couldn't see what he saw.

"Its-"

But it was gone, there wasn't anything there. It was just some random middle aged man with blonde messy hair wearing a hat.

"I think it's just my eyes"

"Dont tell me i gotta buy you new eyes too!"

The two eventually left the hospital and went back to the HQ.

KAIJU EXTERMINATORS HQ, AUGUST 1ST, 21:32 P.M. SQUAD 2,343 SLEEPING QUARTERS

Ha-joon was sitting on the top bunk typing away in his laptop, there were still no news on jae-wook but he hoped someone would find him already.

『They confirmed hes still alive atleast...』

They were able to see his vitals thanks to a mandatory heart implant that all kaiju exterminators get. The giant 192cm tall kitae ran sat on the bottom bank, his jet black hair being a complete mess. He was muttering something...

"perspicacity... perspicacity... perspicacity"

"Is everything okay?" Ha-joon inquired

"Yes... it's just that i learned a new English word, perspicacity."

"Why not just use some kind of brain implant to learn easier?"

"I like a challenge" ki-tae answered simply and let out a exhale before continuing

"They didn't go ahead with training today, we start tommorow. Obviously we wouldn't go ahead after that general morris black was killed"

「Morris black? Thats his name?」

「I wonder how brutal the training is in america.」

We're all Ha-joon's thoughts as I flung his legs over the bunk and accidentally hit kitae's head

"Oops"

"Its fine...you kind of remind me of jae-wook" the giant let out a huff

The sleeping quarters were filled with people moving around, there were conversations going on while other had already fallen asleep.

"Hey have you heard... apparently new yorks division General is gonna show up tomorrow to teach us, how exciting is that!?"

The people next to Ha-joon's and kitae's bunk bed were talking about tomorrow's training excitedly

Avery carter, America's top kaiju exterminator who managed to take down three level 3 kaijus without the help of a sentinel. Such man would be training squad 2,343 and the others tommorow.

「I hope hes a friendly guy, but aslong as im kind i should receive the same treatment.」

AUGUST 2ND, 8:00 A.M.

The sliding door opened up revealing a man standing at 182 meters tall, he had a sleek black metal jaw and sky blue eyes. Not only that but he had a lean body.

His name was Jung Hae-jin, squad's 2,343 leader

"Wakey wake, i hope you are all ready for a good training"

His voice was quiet monotone and his expression was blank.

"Get up maggots! We are guests here!" He shouted and everyone in the room began scrambling to get up from bed. After everyone got dressed they went ahead with their morning, they only had an hour before the training started.

Ha-joon started off his morning with a cup of green tea and some warm toast and butter.
