The Last Warlock

After a few minutes descending the stairs, the group of a few dozen people reached an open area, it was the highest floor on the facilities building just below the elevator, and Mack could see a few plaques giving directions and several smaller elevators just like any elevator from Earth. But each elevator went to specific floors instead of going to all of them, Mack guess they projected this way for security reasons again, because this way everyone would need to come to the lobby area, where Mack was now, to get other elevator if they wanted to go to other floor of the facilities building, creating a virtual checkpoint where guards could arrest someone. 

And just as Mack thought of that, he saw several guards arresting a guy.

"I surrender!" screamed the guy, realizing he had no way to escape.

Dozens of guards stormed in him, like voracious beast going after fresh meat, even considering that the guy gave up, they still went full force on him, but they didn't use spells or fancy abilities, only brute force, but that was enough to scare everyone around.

An area cleared around the guards as everyone took space to not get involved in the fight, but Mack still moved forward, approaching the guards and the full of bruises arrested guy.

"its better..." said the innocent girl, trying to stop Mack to get closer, but Mack made a gesture with his hand signaling it was fine and kept walking forward and closer to the guards.

"Stay out of here! boy!" shouted a guard, preventing Mack from getting closer.

Mack stopped and looked at the arrested man, full of bruises, dark clothes, and a gloomy air, as if what he was doing was nothing much, and was expected already.

Mack looked the man in the eyes and changed his gaze to the guard that shouted for him to stop and said, "I was just coming to help, but it seems is everything under control."

"Tsc, Its fine, but next time don't even bother kid, this is our job" said the guard a bit annoyed, then the same guard turned to the crowd of people and shouted, "Move! Nothing to see here!" in an attempt to disperse the crowd of people, the thing that guards feared the most was a crowd. Things could always go wrong when people gathered together.

The dozens of guards now felt more relaxed with the man arrested and started to move to a specific elevator,the one leading to the jail. A few of them walked ahead and a few behind the cuffed guy, and only two kept him under arms.

Mack opened space for the guards to pass, just like everyone else around, but the moment the cuffed guy was a few inches from him, Mack saw the cuffed guy headbutt one of the guards.

"Take him~" screamed a guard, but the cuffed guy suddenly ran, storming through the guards, bumping on Mack and a few other people around until a guard took a pistol and hit the man in the back.

The shot was loud, but Mack recognized the noise, and it was just a regular firearm, without essence bullets.

The still cuffed guy fell on the floor, but there was no blood, nor a hole in his back. He seemed to just pass out.

'Maybe some kind of stun gun?' Thought Mack while seeing the cuffed guy was still alive.

Barely Mack thought about it, and the guards stormed in the cuffed guy once again, kicking and hitting the unconscious man.

Once the rage on them dispersed, they dragged his body to the elevator, leaving everyone around still a bit stunned by the sudden events.

Only two guards remained, screaming for everyone to disperse; And having nothing to see anymore, the crowd did as asked.

Mack, on the other hand, put his hands in his pockets, and the corners of his lips slightly raised a bit. But he still followed behind everyone, leaving the looby floor with only two guards remaining.

The silence was brief as more elevators came and went. The lobby would always be one of the busiest floors of the facilities building.

...

A few minutes later, Mack was inside the mission hall, along with half the people that came with him. The rest seemed to have other meeting places, or already knew where to go.

The people that remained were going to take a few missions from start or were going to meet with friends in the mission hall.

Mack initial plan was to solo the 'big boss' of the first floor and move to the next one, but once he saw those small devices that worked using magnetic fields he thought was a good idea to spend a few days to get to familiarize with the tower better, he may even find something that may help him.

[Kid, stop lying to yourself. I know you changed the plan just because of that big ass girl]

~cough~

"Are you okey Oppa?" asked the innocent girl, "If you want, I have something for cold here, it's a herbal juice."

Mack wanted to facepalm himself, but instead put on a warm smile and said, "No need, no need, I'm fine. Thank you"

'Did she really say Oppa?' Mack could not believe what the girl just said, and for a moment he felt that all his most 'private' desires were being realized all together, but then he realized the girl was just not used to interact with other people and was used to talk only with her big brother, 'that's why, yes, yes, she must have misspoken'

But Mack was not the only one who heard that. "You two know each other?" asked the shy guy by their side.

"No, Why?" asked the girl, a bit confused.

Mack looked at the guy with fire in the eyes, almost as if wanting to burn the guy on ashes. 'Oh man, don't say it! don't!' It's what Mack was trying to say using his eyes while slowly shaking his head, but the man was oblivious to Mack and said to the girl, "Because... you just called him 'Oppa'?"

The girl suddenly stopped on her track, her hands went behind her body, and she lowered her head, blushing her face as if the girl had become a huge tomato all of the sudden.

'Fuck man, why you had to say that?' thought Mack, but was too late already.
