Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 79: Deja Vu



Alex nodded when he heard Midnight's explanation. He felt the elevator slowly move downwards. After a few seconds, the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Alex looked outside to see a well lit up concrete hallway.

Midnight walked down the hallway after looking at Alex, "Follow me." Alex nodded and followed midnight out of the elevator. He looked around to see a few Guards standing with weapons in their hands.

Midnight stopped walking and looked towards a door. Alex also looked at the door to see that someone was standing in front of it. "You two are here... I Was also told to accompany you two to the facility to help in training as well as keep watch of everything else. I hope you don't mind."

It was Imani. She looked at Midnight and smiled. Midnight smiled back and looked at the door, "we don't mind, I was expecting you to be here. More people to help in training is good for Alex. Plus, I wouldn't mind having a sparring partner for myself. You and I both are A ranks so it'll be a fair match. I also needed training so I'll call it good luck."

Imani laughed and looked at Alex, "It must be your first time inside the facility. It's an amazing place to train, I'm sure you'll like it. Follow me, we'll enter the train."

Alex nodded when he heard Imani. He Followed Behind Midnight and Imani into the doorway. As he passed the door, he noticed that they were in a metro station like area. He looked towards the small Metro train. It looked slick. "That thing must go fast," Alex murmured when he saw the metro train. 

Midnight nodded, "it's pretty quick. At least quick enough to get us to the facility in a matter of minutes."

Imani nodded and entered the metro train. Midnight and Alex followed inside. As they did, they noticed a few more guards. Alex looked around the interior, 'This looks pretty simple. I expected it to look really futuristic on the inside.'

The train slowly started to move. Alex looked out the window to see that the train was accelerating at a huge pace. Midnight looked outside as well and spoke, "It's really quick but also very stable, You won't even feel the train move for the most part and it's extremely stable." Alex nodded when he heard Midnight. 

After some time, the train slowly stopped. Imani looked at the two and spoke, "We're here, follow me. We've already made arrangements so I'll lead you two to the first area."

Alex and Midnight nodded when they heard Imani and followed her outside of the train. Alex looked around to see that the area looked heavily re-inforced. 

The two followed Imani through a hallway to a door. On top of the door, was a sign. Alex read out loud. "Room 2" 

Midnight smiled when she saw the room number. "So close combat training at first?" She asked Imani in curiosity. Imani nodded in return and spoke, "It's the most important field to train in. 80% of reapers are short ranged. Only a few use bows. And only a hand full have been reported to use magic. So we have to help new people prepare well in terms of close combat before everything else." 

Midnight nodded when she heard Imani, She looked at the door handle and smiled, "Indeed, I remember taking new awakened here and beating them to the ground. Again and Again and Again… Until the moment comes when they get back up on their feet… Before that, they would just lie down because of the pain but the moment they realize the importance of fighting, They'll know to get up. Or it'll be their death in a real battle."

Alex looked confused by Midnight's words. It made sense to him but at the same time felt confusing. Imani looked and Alex and smiled, "We'll be teaching you in a similar manner. We have this place for a week or so. After that, We'll have another meeting in the association. What comes after that meeting will be decided then and there. But before that is planned already. The first day, This is today… You will learn the basics of combat. Basic fist attacks, basic blocks, basic parry, and so on. You'll learn the fundamentals by theory and will practice it thoroughly through hardcore combat. After that, you'll be fighting. Every day until the week ends. From experience and battle will you only be able to think properly during the real thing?"

Imani took a breath and opened the door, "But that's not the only thing you'll learn. As we train you for basic hand to hand combat, You'll also be trained with simple weapons. Knives, swords, and even guns. Although you won't be an expert by the end, The entire reason to do all this is to train your body well enough so that it can train itself during actual combat." Alex nodded when he heard Imani. He understood everything that she meant. After glancing at Alex once again, Imani walked into the door.

Midnight Also followed behind slowly. Alex looked at the sign on the door and took a deep breath. 'I should be as fit and as strong as I possibly can for my level… Only then can I get Hades… I'm sure that battles will be easier with a good weapon… That is when I learn to use them.' He sighed and walked inside the door. 

As he did, Alex noticed that everything was dark and the doors had closed. He looked around the room but his visibility was limited. "Where did they go?" Alex asked as he walked around in the room. He continued to walk around, looking for Imani and Midnight. "This is giving me intense Deja Vu…" Alex said with a concerned expression.
