The Invincible Full-Moon System



Prof. K stands in front of the SCO headquarters with cold blood.

As an introvert himself, the fact that he was about to go in with the intention of doing something that would break the regulation of the organization itself makes him extremely nervous to his core.

It's not his usual self to be doing this, but he has no other choice.

On top of that, his nervousness has only been amplified higher as he can hear every single word that the workers are saying, a quick reminder to himself that he was no longer a human anymore but a Werewolf.

Since it happened recently, Prof. K hasn't adapted fully to the changes.

Prof. K struggles to adjust with his senses the most, they were overloading everything that he can catch. It feels like his head is throbbing from a fierce migraine at times, and this forces a frown to his face.

Refocusing back on the task, he darted his eyes left and right, searching for someone.

Striding out of the lobby, his eyes catch sight of a figure.

Judging from her dark blue hair that looks like a waterfall alongside the black and blue tattoo on the left side of her face shaped like tree roots, it doesn't take long for Prof. K to recognize this woman as none other than one of his subordinates.

The captain of the Green Team, Liliya Archie.

Upon catching sight of Prof. K, she walks over to him before bowing slightly in respect.

"You've called for me, Sir?" Liliya asked as she reaches him.

Not even waiting for Prof. K to answer, she then added, "Is it an urgent mission that the team needs to do? " Since it was weird of Prof. K to call her outside, she suspects that there's an important mission that he needs to tell her.

If not then he should've been able to tell her inside.

Prof. K looks around before she pulled her to the side where there are not many people around, this secretive behavior further confirms to Liliya that there's an important mission, and she complies without saying a word.

But contrary to what she expected, Prof. K asked something unrelated to that.

"Is the King inside?"

"King John...? No, I think he's out"

As soon as he heard this, the tension in his body is feeling alleviated and he lets out a sigh of relief. If King John is here, then he would be in big trouble. Despite his attempt to cover his Supernatural scent, it would not be enough to bypass King John's senses.

Ever since the alliance and the invention of Intra, security has become way more relaxed.

Protection started to loosen a bit as the Intra Technology has given great comfort to Ratmawati City and all other cities associated, and this breeder the seduction of relaxation in some departments.

Knowing that everyone around them is a human definitely brings peace of mind.

Compared to when the SCO is still a secretive organization that lies in the dark, the security then is very tight for humans that can enter and even possible infiltrators from the Supernaturals would be caught easily.

Naturally, this can be done thanks to one of his inventions again.

Out of his inventions, the candle that can spot a Supernatural is the most troublesome for his situation right now. Prof. K made it to spot any glimpse of Supernatural energy in the surroundings, and he knows that the candle works quite well.

But thankfully, that candle is not regulated anymore thanks to Intra Technology.

Since the new Intra Technology is more effective and efficient, the higher-ups of the SCO decided that the candle and other items to detect Supernaturals are kept for when they launched an attack on the Supernaturals.

Inside the human territory, it's not regulated anymore.

Although Prof. K voiced out his disapproval of the idea of loosening the security to King John, he was glad that his opinion didn't get through. If it gets through then it would be way harder to enter the headquarter in his situation.

Just as he was thinking, Liliya is looking at him weirdly from the side.

Out of curiosity, she then mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, where is your mask?"

Upon hearing this Prof. K glanced at her with raised eyebrows, he then remembered that his face was now covered in green smoke instead of his usual mask since it broke from fighting against Adhara, Evelyn, and Flurna.

Nobody is able to see through his face, and that includes Liliya who is standing beside him.

Having no intention to answer that question, Prof. K clears his throat.

"I'll leave you to your day then, I'm going to my office"

Although he's an introvert and doesn't have any real experience of dealing with this kind of nerve-wracking situation, he does know that the lesser he says anything the better. More talking would only increase his chances of saying something wrong.

With that, Prof. K tidied his clothes before he went into the building.

Not sparing any time, not that he likes to talk to people, he went straight to the executive lift.

Many of the workers that he passed bowed respectfully at him, they all recognize who he is due to the green smoke he was emitting slightly. Inside the community of the SCO, his name is very well-known and highly revered.

Creating a technology capable of contributing to humanity greatly is no small feat.

Given the inventiveness of his work compared to the other inventors out there, it's not surprising that the black hands treat him with great respect and politeness. After all, he is the great inventor of the SCO.

Stepping into the lift, a hand stopped the door from closing.

Prof. K was so uncomfortable and nervous that his body jolted when he saw the hand, he didn't even realize that it was only Liliya due to how on edge he is right now. "Sir, can I come with you? I have a question that I wanted to ask"

"Can it not wait? I'm busy" Prof. Replied with a slightly shaking voice.

Upon hearing this, the words got stuck in Liliya's throat as she looks down dejectedly. She was about to apologize for wasting his time but seeing her expression like this, Prof. K sighed and decides to cut her some slack.

Gesturing to come inside, he then said, "Get in, we can talk in my office"

Aside from feeling bad as she seems to have something she really wanted to ask, he also needs a report about the team from Liliya. 'I need to gauge which one of them I can trust, making the move myself would draw Jax's attention and that's not good'

With that, Liliya gets on the lift and they walked out three floors below the ground level.

Stepping out of the executive lift, the two walked out into a spacious lab with no one inside. Prof. K turns the light on before his works are revealed to Liliya, numerous kinds of machines, weapons, and even carcasses can be seen around the lab.

It's the first time for her to get into the lab, her authority is not high enough to be here.

Prof. K went to take a couple of materials from a storage room on the side of the room and came back with a block of metal, he then sat at the foremost desk before looking at Liliya who is still unmoving from her spot.

"Come over here, what do you want to ask to me about?" Prof. K gestured to come closer.

Upon hearing this Liliya stuttered for a moment before she quickly went over, she then stood in front of Prof. K's messy desk before she started fidgeting, seemingly uncertain of how she would ask him.

Looking at this, Prof. K then added, "Just let it out, nothing you say will offend me"

"A-Ah, yes..." Liliya mused, she paused for a second before she asked. "I- I was wondering, Sector 2 and 3 were decimated due to King Baralt, right? If that's the case, then why didn't we search for how he managed to get here?" Liliya eventually asked.

Prof. K paused when he heard this, he kept eye contact for a couple of seconds.

In the official news provided by the UWO, the incident that destroyed a huge chunk of Ratmawati City was caused by King Baralt that managed to somehow gets inside their territory and ran havoc.

Just the news alone brought unrest to the entire human population.

But Intra Technology offered a solution to not let something like that happen again. For the regular folks, that is assurance enough to feel safe again, yet for some, more questions appeared inside their heads.

Looking at the suspicion oozing out of Liliya's face, Prof. K can only keep silent.

Upon seeing his reaction, Liliya can't help but gasp in surprise.

At first, she was going to slowly direct the conversation towards the fact that it was not King Baralt that caused the destruction inside Ratmawati City, yet she now gained the answer almost instantly.

Clenching her jaw tightly, she then tries to blurt out her suspicion.

"I-Is it, Rex...?"

"How do you come to that conclusion?"

Prof. K clasped his hands in front of him, gazing intently at Liliya's eyes that are now showing signs of timidity. But even then, she decided to be upfront, "I-I've worked with him, I've met with him more times than most people outside of his group, and I have a fair share of weird encounters with him"

"I've never thought much of it, but now it started to connect together" She added.

Leaning back in his chair with a hawking look, Prof. K kept silent as the tension between them grew. It makes Liliya's hands wet from sweat, she's becoming more nervous and nervous by the second.

Of course, she feared that she made a bad accusation against her friend.

But as if Prof. K can read through her mind clearly, he then replied, "Such a bold claim, that's going to be bad of you if the accusation you gave to Rex is wrong. I mean, he's not here but that doesn't mean he was like that isn't it?"

"Liliya, do you really want to know the answer?" Prof. K finally added.

Upon hearing this, Liliya feels a shiver coursing through her body, turning her blood cold. At this moment, she knows that she would feel guilty if her accusation is wrong. But then, another thought came to mind.

Instead of that outcome, she failed to think about what if her accusation is true.

Compared to the guilt she would be feeling if her accusation is wrong, she was more confused as to what she would do if the accusation is true. 'What am I going to do then? Can I accept that?'

Just while she was dwelling in her thoughts, Prof. K finally blurted out the answer.

"Yes, it was Rex. He was the one that did it"

Deg!

Liliya felt her heart skip a beat when she heard this, the memories of her with Rex who is quite kind and also protective skimmed past her mind. She can't believe that the same person causes that big of destruction.

But remembering their time together, she can't help but bit her lower lip.

Even though the answer comes from Prof. K himself who definitely knows more thanks to his high position, Liliya still doesn't want to believe it. At the very least, she doesn't want to believe that Rex is a bad guy.

'No, he must have his reasons... there's no way he did that voluntarily'

Despite trying to convince herself, the possible fact that he did it on a whim haunted her.

'I want to know how she feels, there's a chance she can be trusted'

Inspecting Liliya's expression closely, Prof. K squinted his eyes before he said, "Rex is the one who caused that destruction, causing countless lives to be lost. What are your thoughts about that, Liliya? Do you hate him for what he did?"

Upon hearing this, Liliya clenched her fists tightly.

"What Rex did is wrong, there's no justification for that..." Liliya finally said.

Prof. K was quite disappointed with the answer, he decided that he would try to check the other black hands in the Green Team that can be trusted. But then he raises his gaze when he heard what Liliya said afterwards.

Although it's hard for her to say this, she can't keep it to herself and decided to let it out.

"However, I don't think he's naturally a bad guy. Rex must have his reasons for doing something that diabolical. As far as he is concerned, for me at least, he's not bad but a broken instead..."
