Chapter 5 - Changing room

[Outside (MIO) room]

*Yawn*

'I which, the boss could let use smoke a cigarette...' while the man in the suit waiting on the bench for someone. Furthermore, he mutters to himself as he looks at his watch. '12:00 PM, What kind of specialty does the boss see on this people anyway?'

Seeing as the hallway was quiet as usual, he sighed while having a doubt on his boss reason to pick him, then the other 23 workers. 'But of course, he has to choose me. The favourite one..." with the quiet hallway, he imagines himself having the best vacation days while retiring with the money he been saving for his salary. 'Oh man, my first retired trip is Hawaii! than Hokkaido!' 

However, he has to snapped out for his imagine as the one he has to help has finally arrive. 'Hmm? I felt like I seen her before...' as he looked at the young woman panting for air, it took him 2 minutes to realised that he has to help the one he captures.

'Oh great... the one that I've been order to capture...'

But again, if this could give me the bonus. why won't I accept it? Although...

'Where did she get those clothes from?' 

the man still remember that he captures her without bringing any single bag clothes. However, I where did she find that bright greenish hoodie?

 'Sigh, this won't be the last time I'll see my eyes bleed for brightness...'

the man stood up and said to her "So you must the new hero Alice... the name William. I am an agent that will be helping you on getting those identification card. without any further, let us continue getting your card."

"R-right!"

Once William was inside the room, Alice sigh as she mutters to herself.

'Thank goodness he didn't say anything about the clothes' as she saw Ava pulling the clothes she's has created, in her window. it was weird, and kind of disgusted...

'Hopefully, this won't traumatise me' as she smiles while walking inside the (MIO) room.

'Well, this isn't something I would see often'

Seeing as they were four enchantments pillar that has an unknown language writing on the pillar that she has never heard of. As well as, blackish orb on the floor of the middle of the four pillars. Furthermore, the instinct of her body tried it best to let Alice fled for the room. 

But of course, something like this would made people amazed by the beautiful, and magnificent scene to see. While William checking and slowly turning on the four pillars, she looked and wonder the meaning that's been write on those pillars. 

Suddenly, those writing on the pillar began to glows in bright purplish colour. But of course, she was amaze by the brightness that was seen on those spelling, with the orb slowly and magically floats slightly up.

"Miss Alice, you may put your hand on the sphere. By the way, they are a change you would get a temporary side effect."

"Wait what--"

"Nothing, just put your arm on the sphere"

"Okay…?"

as she extended one of his hands, she doubts to herself that it won't work. once her hand touched the sphere, it felt as her body suddenly became light as a feather and warm. Eventually, the aura for her body slowly reveal itself to Alice while her hand still touching the orb.

'What is this glowing thing? My body, felt so light!"

However, outside the orb room, William seems suspicious with the aura that's shown by her body. He has helped many heroes, and also known the common colour of an aura that been produce by the heroes.

Yet, this one felt different...

'Bluish colour... this is something news, that I've have never seen before… Boss, what more secret you didn't you tell us? --'

but of course, the sound of paper printing made him snapped out for his though. Seeing as the paper and the hero card shows the rank and etc. He shrugged it off, assuming he hasn't yet known every colour that could've been produce for the hero's aura.

with the card has been complete, he slowly turns off the fours pillar and said "Miss Alice, you may take your hand off the sphere. With that, he gave the card to Alice after she step out for the orb room.

***

Once, she was outside of the (MIO) room, she could finally be relief and celebrate once she finally has the card.

"I did it... I got the card!" However, she's been doubting herself ever since she's been accepted to be a hero 'Forcefully'. Seeing as she finally has the card, she checks the card wondering…

Hero name: Alice Karls

Ability: Hasn't yet been confirmed

Rank: E

No. 6

'Right, have no ability'

'Perhaps, I could train myself a bit with the rank I am in?'

Although, Alice wasn't sure what kind of system the rank would use. But she has read a webtoon before, and known how it would work. Although, Finding the combat training room would be difficult.

 But with Ava, thing maybe be easier.

"Ava, can you hear me?" Even so, she's a bit embarrassing trying to said her companion's name. But with no one in the hallway, it won't be an awkward conversation with Ava.

[Yes! What can I do for you, my companion. :D] even as, Ava kept the sudden appearing of slightly close to her face, Alice won't be frighten and worried by her. As Ava isn't dangerous, but a friend, a good loyal friend that will be with her at any time.

"Can you help me find the combat training room? Or perhaps send me there?"

[No need to be worried friend! I am Ava, I have everything you need! :D]

With that, she created a portal along the hallway. Even though they were a portal along the hallway, Alice has seen enough not to fear what she's made.

[I have created a portal to the girl changing room :D]

"But I said combat training…"

[No need to worry, the changing room is inside the combat training room.]

"Okay…?"

The longer she looked at the portal, the longer she doubts to herself asking Ava…

"Hey Ava, are you sure it safe?"

Seeing as, the portal pulling the air and leaf for the plant into the inside of it. However, Ava kept smiling as she said [Not to worry! It safe! Try walked inside! :D]

Nonetheless, she takes a deep breath for a second and had no choice but to walked toward inside the portal. Even though, she was a bit scared…

'Here goes nothing!'

Once she walked inside, the portal suddenly disappears in an instant. Even so, Ava muttered to herself as she may have forgot to celebrate her companion achievement getting the hero card.

[It seems I may have forgot to congrats to my companion…]

[Oh well! They still more times left to celebrate her achievement! :D]

 

***

[Changing room]

As the air and the leaf was push away for the inside the portal, Alice exits for the portal as she slowly opens her eyes to see she was inside the changing room.

'Thank goodness I didn't jinx myself!' as she remember repeating the word "Don't jinx it!" while walking inside the portal while acting brave. However, she may have forgot that someone was watching her entering the changing room.

'I hoped, no one saw me entering the changing room—' both looked at each other as the girl was drinking a can of soda while watching Alice entering the room. Even so, the girl kept drinking even after the portal has disappear before saying some word to Alice.

 "Nice Ability!"

"Thank, I guess…?" even so, she won't have to act liked a hero as she has the hero card.

But eventually they both just looked at each other without having a single conversation, and does not move a single muscle.

"Are you new here? I haven't seen your face before, and by the look of it. Are you the same age as me? Twenty-year-olds?"

"Well yes, and how are did you know my age?!"

"Just guessing"

"Oh…"

Seeing as they both slowly starting a normal conversation, Ava behind the locker with camera taking a picture of them both and mutter to herself.

[Hehe, this going to be fun!] as she put the picture into her screen.
