The Awakening: Bio-Genetics - Chapter 256

“To end the war… to fight the virus,” she said with a faint smile.

She turned to him.

“Those kids’ lives were sealed the moment they became Bio-genetics as well as yours” she add with trembling eyes.

Anzai’s eyes saddened a sad painful truth.

“Military forces gone in a snap, it would take years to raise another, which we don’t have, the only thing we have is the bio-genetics,” he said, it was painful but it was the truth and the responsibility they now wielded, they were the only force they had against the Kaiju’s, the only thing that stood in their way.

“Who would have thought the fate of the world would rest in the hands of Kids” he add with a smile that didn’t reach his heart.

Touka’s eyes circled in tears, she could feel the weight of his words, he could feel his pain for them.

“kids meant to grow and live a normal life”, he reminisced all the painful events they have been through, their deaths, tears, and pain, he could feel them all because they were like his own.

His fist tightens.

“But now a sealed fate to fight monster… the world is really fucked up”

Touka chuckled, it was a humor that lightened the sad moment right now, she forced the tears back so that she wouldn’t cry, she also felt their pain, what they had to go through.

Anzai smiled.

“And I will be with them…” he began.

“Every step of the way, like you said my fate is sealed with them, can’t help it can I” He add amused.

“You’re a good man, Anzai, the bio-genetics are lucky to have you, without you who knows what could have become of them,” she said as the tears slide down her tears.

“Touka,” he said sadly, he didn’t like seeing her cry.

“I’m glad Anzai” she dried her tears forcing a smile.

“I’m glad you’re with them”

Anzai smiled warmly as his eyes trembled, he took a step forward pulling her in a hug, wrapping his arms around her, she buried her face in his chest as she sobbed silently.

“I’m glad you’re here to Touka, I’m glad they have you too”.

She smiled, gripping onto his jacket tightly.

‘You and I with them’ she thought as the tears fell more. ‘Always’.

Level 9: Special Training Hall

The Strike Team consisting of Shino, Hiro, Yuki, Ren, Kaneki, Mosu, Mizuki, Raiden, Sumi, and Mirai walked into the wide hall, the walls and floors white and shiny just like the other training hall but this seemed different.

Anzai stood at the center, Touka beside him holding onto a transparent iPad.

“Welcome Strike Team…” Anzai began sternly.

“To your first day of training”

Level 50: Design Factory

“Whoa your designs are amazing,” Ten said with shiny eyes staring at the interface version of some choppers.

Haya stared in awe at them too.

“Prime minister Kiyoshi has tasked us with a very important work,” Kazuya said.

They turned to her, she smirks.

“Let’s get to work shall we?” she announced.

“Yes boss!” they said in unison.

She froze, as sweat dropped behind her head.

“Boss?”

They nodded eagerly, she sighed before smiling.

“I like the sound of that” she states turning to the wide empty hall, she could already envision what would cover this hall, she had all the manpower she needed.

“Let’s get to work!” she yelled.

“Yes, boss!”

Level 9: Special Training Hall

“This hall was specially designed by Engr. Kazuya for the strike team, able to handle any blast of your energy so you needn’t worry about going all out” Anzai began.

They listened attentively.

“As you are all aware this strike team is specially made for one purpose, taking the Queen Kaiju down”.

Anzai looks dark.

“I’m gonna break you and mold you into perfect assassins”.

They shivered at his words, it held an absolute vibe to it, they knew they were in for it then, they knew the threat they were about to face, it was the Queen Kaiju so they should expect no less an all-out battle.

“You all have to reach your limit and break it, abandon any personal attachment right now, any attachment that you know will hinder your training or your set goal,” he said as his eyes searched each of their faces.

For a brief second Shino’s eyes fell on Sumi, he looked away as his eyes sadden.

Anzai turned to Touka, she nods.

“In other to reach your said limit you must increase your current levels” she began as she pressed on her iPad and an interface display came up for them to see.

“As you all know before Sand’s condition he fell into Level 10, which his body couldn’t withstand due to the sudden transition, but it can be possible for you guys as you train” she explained as a video of a cell came up with some numbers.

“I did some more research on the Sp3 stage of the virus, there are respectively 50 levels”.

They froze at her words.

“So are you saying our target is level 10 for all of us to be on full power?” Raiden asked.

“No, the target is level 15,” Anzai said sternly.

Their eyes went wide.

“Your bodies at this age can handle 15 levels, that’s the full power we must work on that and harness it to full capacity, that’s our trump card,” Touka said.

“Yes bio-genetics that is the plan… under six months before we launch for war you’re expected to have reached that level”

‘Under six months?’ Hiro thought with shaky eyes, before they could even get to this current level they were in, it took a lot of work, level 15 would be impossible in that amount of them.

He sweated, can they really pull that off?

‘He’s not gonna go easy on us’ Shino thought, his trembling eyes on Anzai, his looks, and his serious mood, he knew he was hell-bent on making them reach that level under six months. He gulped.

Anzai smirks darkly.
