Rex\'s mansion, Sector 2 Ratmawati City.

Edward is sitting in the training room beside the mansion with surrounded by a blue barrier that is shot by somekind of robot arms from the ground, it envelopes him inside this square-shaped holographic barrier.

But from a closer look, it\'s not a holographic barrier but an actual barrier. A physical one likes the one that Gistella made.

Since he had played a huge role during the Atkins Family takedown, not only does Rex gives Edward a spirit to assimilate with to reach the sixth rank but this one is as strong as Devo. It\'s an ancient spirit with an age of around ten thousand years.

Edward is skeptical at first, but seeing the actual spirit deletes his doubt away.

Almost like his brain is a computer, the word doubt was erased completely from his brain. The spirit that is called Sentine the True Fire Sentinel, Sentine\'s fire power matches perfectly with Edward\'s dark fire.

Rex asks the system to find a matching spirit for Edward and finds this.

With how the robot hands project the holographic barrier are blitzing with electricity and even twitching a bit, this shows that Edward has just gone through the assimilating process. Opening his eyes, Edward clenches his hands a couple of times feeling the sixth rank realm.

Now that he already reached the sixth rank, he can now feel and control spirit energy.

The feeling brought by the spirit energy from Sentine is like a raging fire, powerful but warm to the touch. Controlling the spirit energy is also easy, their compatibility is impeccable.

"I reached the sixth rank...", Edward mutters with a blooming smile.

Playing with the spirit energy that is a bit reddish in his palm, Edward then started imagining the surprised look on his Uncle and Zelene, "They will be shocked knowing this..."

But just as he thought of that, the door into the training room opened abruptly.

Edward looks in the door direction and finds a man with a tiger tattoo on his right arm walking inside. From a glance, Edward recognizes who he\'s. The leader of the Disaster Squad, Tandu.

Walking inside with an arch back, Tandu saluted before he said, "Edward, it\'s happening again"

"Ryze? Did the others see him?", Edward sent a series of questions with a worried look, it\'s been the fourth time in the last couple of days. It\'s even getting more frequent lately which troubles Edward.

Hearing this, Tandu shakes his head, "Yes, it\'s Ryze. And no, the others didn\'t see him do that"

"I already make sure the others are not going to the back of the mansion. Considering they\'re busy with the maids and training, they certainly don\'t know what\'s happening to Ryze", he added.

Edward nodded his head before standing up and turning off the holographic barrier.

But just as the holographic barrier disappears, Tandu can feel the changes in Edward\'s aura which has become more blazing and also sharper. Just like standing near a bonfire, the heat even permeates through the air and can be felt directly.

Looking at him, Tandu then asks whisperingly, "Did you reach the sixth rank already?"

"Yeah, I\'m surprised that the barrier made by the robots can withstand that power. But I\'m glad it did or the entire mansion will be destroyed", Edward replied before glancing back.

Although Rex has already given some things to suppress Sentine\'s power for when Edward decided to try assimilating with him, it\'s still astonishing that the holographic barrier can keep the leaking energy to a minimum.

With that, both of them left the training room and went to the house in the back garden.

Upon reaching the house in the back garden, Edward and Tandu look at each other before they walk to the house\'s doorstep. They pass through somekind of barrier, and instantly after that, they can feel the burning and steamy air.

It\'s like walking into a sauna but this one is way worst, each breath is like a sharp burning thrust to the lungs making it uncomfortable to breathe here.

Edward opens the door and is immediately greeted by Ryze lying on the bed.

But Ryze\'s chest is heaving up and down and his body is drenched with sweat, even some of his occasional breath has some spark of fire in them. Ryze opens his eyes slowly upon hearing the door is opened.

Looking at Edward getting inside, Ryze holds his burning chest and mutters painfully, "Edward, he\'s at it again. He keeps on talking inside my head, make it stop!!"

Edward approaches Ryze and sits on the edge of the bed in worry.

For the last couple of days, the dragon inside of Ryze, Zaddrass Lord of the Red that has been devoured turns out to still have its presence inside Ryze. Almost like a spirit but not quite. It keeps on harassing Ryze telling him something like burning the house down or even burning Tandu and Edward who occasionally went to check on him.

It\'s like a parasite living inside of Ryze, but he can hear this parasite\'s thoughts that filled his head with these voices. Sometimes, these voices are accompanied by what\'s happening right now.

Zaddrass will increase Ryze\'s body temperature to the point of boiling, and through a couple of tries, they are finally able to find a way to suppress Zaddrass somehow.

Edward puts his hand on Ryze\'s forehead before he injected his dark fire mana into him.

This is the only way that they can suppress Zaddrass, by overwhelming him with fire mana that engulfs his speck of consciousness. It\'s like endurance fighting, and with the current Zaddrass, he can\'t win against Edward in terms of Endurance.

But that only lasts for half a day or a little bit more, so Edward needs to do this occasionally.

After engulfing Zaddrass\' consciousness with his dark fire mana for ten minutes or so, Ryze passed out and at that moment Edward stop giving him more dark fire mana.

"Poor boy, to actually turn into a Supernatural like this", Tandu commented from the side.

Hearing this, Edward stands up before he sighs, "There\'s no other way, Rex is forced to do this so that the dragon will not break free of the seal. Many will die if that dragon breaks the seal, so Ryze regretfully needs to be the new seal until we find a way to suppress the dragon"

That is the story Edward comes up with as an excuse for Tandu, and it works.

Tandu is the only one who knows about Ryze\'s condition in the Disaster Squad simply because he\'s the most reliable out of all of them, based on Rex of course. But even though he\'s reliable, Edward must be careful with his story.

With the years spent in the military, every military personnel is engraved with this hatred for the Supernatural because of fighting multiple battles in the front.

Although Tandu doesn\'t look like it, he\'s only acting this way because it\'s forced.

If he knew that for example, Rex is a human that has turned into a Werewolf. Tandu will not hesitate to report this matter to the FAA, UWO, or even SCO. Ryze is made a victim which he is but Edward amplifies it so that it\'s acceptable for Tandu even though he has already turned into a Supernatural.

Dragonman to be exact, Heavenly Dragonman.

\'Rex needs to take care of this. It\'ll bring more trouble if Ryze is kept in this condition, he\'s unstable\', Edward thought before standing back up.

Glancing at Tandu on the side, he then said, "Let\'s let him rest"

After saying that, Tandu nodded his head before they both left the small house.

Just when they walked out of the small house to let Ryze rest, the only woman in the Disaster Squad, Christine is standing in front of the small house surprising the two.

"Christine, What are you doing here?", Tandu steps in front and asks.

Hearing this, Christine squinted her eyes seeing Tandu and Edward walk out of the small house sketchily but she didn\'t question it, "There\'s someone asking for Rex. I believe he\'s from the SCO, someone called Prof. K?"

"Prof. K? Alright let\'s greet our guest", Edward replied before striding into the mansion.

Inside the lobby just beside the huge door of the mansion, Prof. K is sitting leisurely with his legs crossed on the sofa. The black outfit he\'s wearing alongside the crow mask makes him stand out with the red and brown theme of the mansion\'s interior.

Like darkness that seems unhindered by the surrounding colors.

While approaching Prof. K, Edward squints his eyes feeling the weirdly subtle aura around Prof. K. But this makes him even more alert, sometimes the silence is the deadliest of them all.

\'He\'s one of the messengers of the SCO\', Edward thought before picking up his pace.

Upon reaching the guest room, Edward steps into Prof. K\'s vision but Prof. K didn\'t even look in his direction. Prof. K kept looking straight to the front while sitting leisurely, the mask makes it hard for Edward to gauge his talk opponent since he can\'t see Prof. K\'s face.

Tandu and Christine are already standing behind Edward like a soldier, unmoving.

At least with the two of them standing behind Edward like that, Edward will look presentable when talking with Prof. K that looks to be an anomaly and mysterious.

Someone that is using a mask like this is the most pain to deal with in a cold conversation, but Edward needs to say something first, "Prof. K, I\'m Edward. Rex\'s best friend. I hear from Christine over here that you\'re searching for Rex"

"Yes, Where is he?", Prof. K replied shortly without turning to Edward.

Seeing this, Edward was a bit annoyed but he kept a polite smile on his face, "My apologies but Rex is currently not around, maybe you can tell me the matters and I will rely on the matters to Rex once he\'s back"

"Either way, I thought you can contact Rex through your crows. I\'m surprised to see you here", Edward added politely.

Prof. K then finally turns his head to Edward and asks, "How do you know that?"

Hearing this, Edward almost choked realizing that Rex being a part of the SCO is supposed to be a secret between him and the SCO. Bead of cold sweat starting to grow and fall on his forehead, and the expression that can\'t be seen through the crow mask doesn\'t help either.

It increases the suspension and nervousness Edward felt, but he still tries to keep his composure.

But soon Prof. K shakes his head, "He probably told you since being a Green Messenger himself, I won\'t pursue this matter. But I do want to give a task for Rex and the Green team"

"Please tell me, I will definitely tell Rex about it", Edward replied before sitting on the sofa opposite Prof. K, Tandu and Christine also follow and stand behind the sofa like two bodyguards with stern faces.

Exchanging his crossed legs, Prof. K then said, "Rex might tell you this, but I\'ve been working on a project to make a device that can detect Supernaturals on a wide scale. Supernatural Radar"

"The UWO has helped this project a lot, and we just need one final piece to finish it"

Hearing this, Edward was interested but also frowning at the same time. He doesn\'t know how to feel knowing about this news. This device will certainly help Humanity to tackle future infiltration from the Supernatural, but on the other Rex and the others will be threatened.

They will not be able to stay in the human territory anymore, at least not in Ratmawati City.

Prof. K tilts his crow mask a little before he added, "We need high-rank Shapeshifter to complete the device, their body structures, aura, skin, and even DNA change alongside their shapeshifting. So we need a live powerful Shapeshifter, around peak seventh rank or even eighth rank to be precise"

"The King specifically asks for the Green team to get it, so tell that to Rex"

Edward listen to what Prof. K is saying before he nodded his head, they were missing the final piece to finish this groundbreaking device.

"I understand, when Rex got back I will tell him about the task. Please, rest assured", Edward replied assuringly. But in his mind, he\'s thinking of how Rex will react to this.

After Edward said that, Prof. K then stands up, "Alright then, my business here is done. Goodbye"

Since he\'s thinking, Edward was late to respond to Prof. K\'s bids of goodbye. When he raises his gaze, Prof. K already turns into green smoke before disappearing from the place.

"What a mysterious man, I\'m afraid that he might still listen to us", Tandu said from behind.

Hearing this, Christine also nodded her head in agreement making Edward smile wryly. He doesn\'t disagree with the both of them, Prof. K might also be listening right now since he can come and go turning into that green smoke.

Clapping his hand, Edward then turns to both of them, "So, How\'s the squad\'s progress?"

The Disaster Squad has been training aside from fooling around since Rex left with the others, they\'re accustoming themselves as new Awakened. Their powers are rising fast, so it\'s a little bit overwhelming for them since they don\'t know anything about being a real Awakened.

But when Tandu was about to answer, the door suddenly got knocked again.

Hearing the knock, the three of them glance at the door in confusion. Edward steps to the door waving his hand when a maid was about to open the door for him.

After opening the door, Edward widens his eyes seeing the man in front of him.

"S-Sir Sebrof!"
