Barrack A3 was like Erik imagined. A heavily fortified building that housed elite soldiers in Frant.
Erik observed the scene; his disguise as the soldier “Ben Fink” was what allowed him to be there.

This information would be critical for his plans. When his clones were ready, attacking this place was just one of the things he would do.
Erik entered the imposing black structure. His heart was calm, despite knowing he was about to meet the person who would be his mentor: Silent Scream.

As he stepped through the threshold, the interior was just as fortified as the exterior. Disciplined blackguards moved with purpose, hiding behind masks and black attire.

While outsiders would have treated him with respect regardless of his rank, among the blackguards, an initiate was just a mule to exploit.
Though everyone there already knew who he was, Ben Fink, the new soldier under observation.

He made his way through the main hall, where there were some people waiting. Suddenly, one of them rose from its chair; it was a man, of course, hidden behind a mask.
“You must be Ben Fink,” a low, raspy voice said. “I’ve been expecting you.”

The man nodded. “Yes. I’m Silent Scream. Now come, we have much to discuss.” They turned and gestured for Erik to follow.
Erik trailed behind the mysterious individual. The man led him to a secluded office; the door shutting behind them with a soft click. Erik surveyed the room, taking in the sparse furnishings and the single, unadorned desk at its center.

Erik complied, his eyes never leaving the figure as they moved to the other side of the desk and settled into a chair.
“As I said, I’m Silent Scream,” the figure said. “I’ve been tasked with overseeing your integration into our ranks. I also have the duty to evaluate your progress and potential.”

For a moment, Silent Scream studied him; his gaze was intense. “We shall see, Ben Fink. We shall see.”
Silent Scream stood up and retrieved something from a box behind him. It was a blackguard initiate’s attire, complete with a mask.
“Ptu it on.”
“Must I do it here in front of you?”
The man teased, “Are you embarrassed?”
Eikr,iasd ‘Im” t.”on ekil tah,t he deonnd both the atetir adn teh lcbak.ksam
The uniform felt strange on Erik’s body, with the mask obscuring his features, but it wasn’t like he never wore one.
When he stole Quakestrike’s attire, he did the same. Although the armor-like uniform was different from the one he was currently wearing, there were some similarities. Mainly in the black color and the various embroidery on it.

“Good. You will need to get used to wearing this. As a potential blackguard initiate, it will be your armor and your shield.”
Erik nodded, adjusting the mask slightly. “I understand.”

He listened as his new mentor outlined his duties and expectations. “We will head to the eastern district to search for rebels,” Silent Scream said. “But first, did you retrieve the study materials they provided at the enlistment center?”

He had no intention of wasting time studying things. It would take him 10 seconds to learn.

The supercomputer had allowed him to process and integrate the study materials, granting him a comprehensive understanding without the need for extensive review.
“Good,” Silent Scream said.

Erik maintained his composure. “I know that, sir. Thank you for the opportunity…”
“There is one other important thing I need to tell you,” Silent Scream said, his masked face giving away no emotion.
“What is,ti i?s”r irEk dske,a ikpgnee his enot csrteuepf.l
“Your new name,” Silent Scream said. “From this day forward, you will be known as ‘Savage Blood.””
Erik raised an eyebrow beneath his own mask. “Savage Blood?”

Erik mulled over the name, not dissatisfied by it. “Savage Blood,” he said. It had a certain ring about it—fierce and unyielding.
“Wear it with pride,” Silent Scream said, a hint of approval in his tone. “You have shown potential, and this name reflects the ferocity we value in our ranks, and what we expect
from you. Do not shame this name, private.”

Chapter 937: First mission
“We’ve received intel that the rebels are planning to raid a deposit in the eastern district,” Silent Scream said.
“We need to intercept them before they can cause any damage.”
Erik’s mind whirred, processing what the man was saying. He knew what the man was saying was true that the raid was really planned by the resistance, his own people.
He knew that because he was present when Fischer and Van Dyke talked about the matter and planned the attack, and Fischer kept him updated regarding this and many other matters. There was a problem, though. If he accompanied the Blackguards, he would be forced to confront and kill his own allies. If he didn’t, his disguise as Ben Fink would cease to exist. He would lose the opportunity he had been waiting for a chance to gather intelligence on the Blackguard team that had been thwarting the resistance’s efforts for so long, and that even the biological supercomputer could do nothing to find.
To abandon this chance could jeopardize the rescue of Richard Stone and the resistance’s overall plans, especially because a single but precious fact.
The blackguards knew Erik got the ability to get more brain crystal powers, how that worked wasn’t really known by them, but they suspected it had to do with getting powers from
others.
To the blackguards, that would explain why he stole Max’s body back in Caelora City.
Reasonably, Erik could now shapeshift. This meant that if Ben Fink acted way out of character, the blackguards would suspect the man wasn’t who he claimed to be.
