Chapter 50: Hardened Criminals

It is never disclosed to the public because the energy in the article you read is dangerous to the body. When superpowers reach the Form-Rank, the body slowly uses the generated energy. Stamina, Mana, Energy, Ki, Chakra, Karma It has too many names, although we still dont know its limits, it is the real power we hunters possess. Superpowers are just a portion of what humans can do. Malcolm said.

Malcolm said and then realized something. "But those articles are also classified. How did you read them?

Oh shit! Why didnt you tell me they are classified. Miles screamed in his heart.

Miles couldnt ask Coin, so he had to improvise. I joined a hunting team in the stronghold, and they allowed me to have a golden access card. It has some perks. Miles said and hoped it would be enough to trick Malcolm.

Oh, golden access card? That is a good thing. Malcolm squinted and said, Anyway, Energy inside our bodies are our real powers. Superpowers are just a drop in the ocean.

So exaggerated? Miles couldnt help but ask. Superpowers were the main firepower humans had against monsters. If it was just a drop in the ocean, then this mysterious energy was too strong!

Since you decided to become a hunter, it is not safe to keep you in the dark anymore. Malcolm raised his wristwatch and asked softly, Lancelot, can you bring up the articles about energy please.

Yes, sir! The wristwatch answered as words started to float in the air. Miles looked at the title and schematics. Then waited for Malcolm to explain.

Since you were able to activate the Skill Orb, it means you were able to use energy! Malcolm looked at Miles with a bewildered gaze. Oh my! How old are you? What is your level? How did you not explode?

Is it that dangerous? Miles gulped heavily as he asked.

You have no idea! Malcolm berated, then his gaze softened.

All humans are born with minuscule energy in their bodies, but because we are not able to make use of it willingly, we use it to fuel our lives. But because of the minute amount, we are destined to have low life spans. Malcolm started to explain as he pointed to the human body on the screen. There was a white corona around the body.

Have you heard of the Marooner? Malcolm asked and looked at his sons face.

Yes, who in Unity hasnt heard him by now? Miles didnt show any emotion on his face and dodged the question.

I heard he is in Your stronghold, Malcolm asked once again.

I am not sure if he is in our stronghold, but the Commander said that she has seen him in the forest close to here. So, he must be in one of three strongholds around the Umbra Forest. Miles said.

So I thought! Malcolm said and sighed.

What are you interested in, anyway? Miles asked.

Just wanted to ask questions, that is all.

Hehe, never mind that. I wrote a new joke. You will be first to hear. Wanna hear? Malcolm said with a devilish grin.

Sure. Miles sighed helplessly. Malcolm was always a trickster.

How did the police officer describe the two thieves who stole from a viagra store? Malcolm asked with a red face. He was clearly trying his best to keep himself from laughing.

How? Miles asked in defeat.

This is officer Malcolm. We are looking for two hardened criminals! I repeat we are looking for two hardene wait Miles. This is hilarious!

Miles left the headquarters and jumped on the train to return to Portal World through the Dimensional Device.
