Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 65: Imani

*Quick note before the chapter begins, I switched apartment to Hotel. That's it. The place where Alex lives is now the Hotel, not apartment. Thank you!*

When they heard Ryan, Alex and Midnight nodded. Ryan spoke again before they left the office, "Once again, be careful... I'm going to send some more people to secure the hotel for Alex." I think it's best for us to keep Alex inside the hotel premises. You can practice, but you have to be much more vigilant. The high ranking stealth awakened will be a cause of the issue. Even if The person who took the crystal wasn't a high ranked awakened but someone within the facility that was under mind control, It would be a huge problem. Our entire organization would be a breach and we wouldn't know it. I'll send someone with you two to the Hotel. Once you get there, stay in the rooms and stay out of contact from anyone, well just for a while. The person who will join you will take care of the blood tests to know that everyone is clear. She will also stick with you and fulfill your needs your requirements, shopping for items, cooking food, and so on. But if you're fine with cooking on your own or if you're uncomfortable with someone else doing things for you, You can tell me, It's understandable." 

Alex looked confused for a second but he nodded, 'I'll just tell her to leave, I'd be a hassle having someone doing everything for me. Plus I'll need to be alone to use my system, wouldn't want people to think I'm crazy or suspicious.' Alex thought to himself before speaking, "I'd be fine alone, Plus Midnight offered to cook for me so I'd be bad for me to decline her. So She can stay in her own room. I'd also like a little privacy to myself for everything else, it's the safer option of course."

Ryan smiled when he heard Alex, he looked at Midnight and said, "I guess it'd be fine. You probably don't have anything in your house except the clothes that Hana helped buy for you but again, knowing Hana, I'd say you'd be surprised once you return to the hotel. I respect your privacy so the person I will send with you will be going in a different car, with a few more people with her. She will just test the blood samples of everyone in the Hotel and will be in charge of security."

Midnight looked at Ryan and said, "will it be fine? I heard that there was a lack of Awakened because of the increased amount of gates opening nearby, wouldn't it be a problem sending out awakened to protect us?" 

Ryan smiled, "Well, only one of them is an Awakened, someone you don't know well. I've been training her in secret for missions like these. Imani, An B-ranked Awakened but her strength is very close to an A-ranked. She could go one on one with a Lower A ranked Awakened at her best but still, she lacks the power to become one. But She will upgrade soon. But until then, She will take care of the lower-ranked gates in the area. If many arise at the same time, Then Alex will have to come out and help with the weaker Gates but It's highly doubtful that something like that will happen. Apart from Imani, The rest are just armed guards. They may not be Awakened, but their accuracy is pretty superhuman. The top shots under us."

Midnight looked at Ryan and said, "I guess that's fine then. I would like to see who this secretly trained Awakened is, if she has the honors of being trained by you, She must have amazing power." She seemed curious about Imani. 

Ryan laughed and said, "We'll you'll get to know her once you go downstairs, I've already called her and she is waiting for you two to exit the building." 

The two bid Ryan Goodbye once again and headed towards the reception. Once they got to the reception, Alex noticed that they were being watched by a woman in all black. She was tall, nearly as tall as Alex. She had long braided hair that ran to her waist. Her eyes were hazelnut in color and her perfectly tanned skin made her look even more beautiful. Midnight looked at the woman and said, "oho Seeing how pretty she is, I wonder what else did Ryan 'train' her in" Midnight laughed as she walked over to the woman. 

The Woman looked at Midnight and Smiled, "Sir Ryan has treated me with the highest of respect, He has trained me in the art of combat and deception. As well as the key art of awareness." She looked at Alex and smiled once more. 

Midnight laughed and said, "It seems like we have someone very capable to protect Alex, At least I need to worry as much." She looked at Alex and laughed. 

Alex looked at Midnight and scratched his head, 'I just hope to get more powerful quicker. The Last thing I want is to be protected every moment of my life. This just feels wrong to me. I don't dislike it but I want the feeling of not needing any protection from others.' Alex felt more determined to get more powerful. He couldn't wait till he got home to check out the new features he unlocked in the system. 

The woman laughed and said, "I forgot my introduction, I'm Imani, Your personal Bodyguard for an unknown amount of time. I also shall help you with your daily needs if required." 

Alex smiled and replied, "I'm Alex, I won't be needing any help so you don't need to push yourself, Nice to meet you." 

Midnight nodded, "I also don't need any personal help I'm midnight, A ranked awakened. Supersonic Voice Nice to meet you." Midnight introduced herself stating her powers as she was curious about Imani's powers as well. 

Imani seemed to get what Midnight was saying and continued, "I'm a B rank Awakened, Enhanced Senses I have a high physical prowess as well so I'm good for close quarters combat."
