Chapter 326: Interrogation (Part 2)
Screams of antagonizing pain echoed throughout the training room; however, thanks to its design for containing all the noise inside so that other people won't get disturbed while a person is training inside and the fact that the security cameras were disabled by Natasha herself for the sake of her trap going unnoticed by the officials, there was virtually no one who had any idea about what happening inside one of the special class training rooms.
Within the room, the scene was pretty much the same but that couldn't be said about Natasha whose entire body was covered in sweat while her body was almost pale white with all of her veins clearly visible underneath her skin.
"I'm going to ask you again, what information do you have," Mako shouted as his eyes continued to glow green with his thumb still deep inside Natasha's arm.
Mako was never a fan of the poison ability even though it sounded cool on paper. Comic books and cartoons would always portray villains that had some kind of Poison ability to be able to spray and melt anything and critically poison the hero; however, in real life that was not the case as that was a separate ability called the Acid Manipulation ability and was quite rare.
The poison ability wasn't something that could be manifested outside the body at least not at the lower levels. It was purely a supportive ability that could help increase the damage on weapons that were laced with the poison and could also inflict different status effects based on the nature of the poison while also offering resistance to the user from other poisons.
It was a very cool and complex ability that was definitely underrated and right now Mako had pulled a page out of Victor Voss's playbook and had been injecting Natasha with a modified version of the poison that he had previously neutralized from Angela's body after Victor had stabbed her.
The original poison was meant to kill a person up to ALPHA rank which meant that it was definitely a very strong poison.
One perk of the poison ability was that similar to how there were variants of other abilities like the Red Fire and Blue Lightning, a Poison ability user could learn to create various different kinds of poisons and their antidotes within their body after they had enough exposure to that specific poison.
This technique was, of course, an advanced one and Mako being only a level 2 had only the slightest idea on how to actually do this; however, since he had unlocked the first level of his mutant gene, Mako's poison ability level was temporarily augmented to a level close to level 5 along with the all the information that a level 5 Poison ability user would have.
When Mako was neutralizing the poison inside Angela's body, the wild poison aura that was freely roaming in his entire body was analyzing and understanding the poison and adding it to its type of memory.
Normally since Mako was only a level 2, he didn't know how to create the poison by himself, but now that his mutant gene had been reactivated, he had access to that information and also the knowledge on how to modify it.
"Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to sit in base, knowing that you were just a few buildings away and not be able to take you down in any way!"
Natasha slowly became more and more emotional as now she wasn't speaking because of the pain but rather from the anger that consumed her heart. She didn't care much and just spoke her mind in front of Mako, but Mako still remained emotionless from the outside giving no reaction to Natasha who continued to blab on and on.
"So as soon as we arrived in military school, I looked for the first opportunity to isolate you and finally get my revenge, but you somehow managed to beat my ability again!" Natasha screamed with frustration as she finished her story, taking deep breaths as if she had spoken her mind all in one breath.
There was a moment of silence between the two of them as Natasha remained on the ground, slowly regaining strength while Mako stood coldly in front of her.
Mako stared into Natasha's desperate eyes as he analyzed her story with a look of uncertainty.
"How did Haruto find my dorm room so quickly and what was the information that he promised you would share if I had come?" Mako asked Natasha.
Natasha hesitated for a second as she thought of a response," I used my ability on many weak advanced class cadets for information as I can review their most recent memories and one of them was your neighbor who saw you leave for your classes in the morning and that's how I learned about your dorm room number,"
"Secondly, I didn't tell Haruto to say anything like that, I just ordered him to lure you back here by any means necessary, and he did just that!" Natasha replied.
'Bullsh*t!' Mako thought in his mind as this was the most absurd lie he had ever heard.
He immediately realized that even after going through so much pain and agony, Natasha still had the strength to lie, and to lie with such confidence was quite impressive. It was clear to Mako that he wouldn't be able to get any real information out of Natasha and time was running out for him as he couldn't maintain his mutant gene for too long.
He would be considerably weekend after the time limit of his mutant gene expired and he didn't want to take any chances with Natasha, thinking that her weak and pitiful persona could also be fake and she might have something else up her sleeve.
However, he was sure one thing and that was that he didn't buy this story for a single second.
