Chapter 1: I am ’Accused’ of being an S-class awakened
"Miss Alice, are you ready to start talking and admit your crime?" A professional in black asked and the lady in question, Alice, rolled her eyes.
She was strapped to a chair. Her hands and legs were shackled with power restraints and there were tubes attached to her head connecting to a truth machine.
There was even an awakened who could tell lies from the truth with their special skill.
'This is getting old.' Alice thought and answered, "For the 25th time, I don't have a freaking system!" Alice said, almost to the point of yelling.
The professional looked at the people operating the truth machine. They nodded that she was telling the truth, and then he looked at the lady with the truth skill. But she shook her head and said,
"I apologize, my skills could not tell if she was telling the truth or not. It would seem she is still able to use her skills even while under restraint."
Alice rolled her eyes.
'Give me a break. If I could use a skill, any skill at all, I would've said something. But I honestly don't have powers. I am not an awakened, and I don't have a system, but they won't believe me.'
"Miss Alice, will you tell us what happened at the red gate then?" He asked but with glazed eyes, she said,
"No comment."
"Hah!" The professional sighed. "Miss Alice, the world is in danger. Do you intend to still keep your powers a secret? The world needs people with your powers." The professional said. "As an S-class awakened, your powers could save millions of lives. And there are a lot of benefits that come with it. Fame, money. Why won't you admit it already?"
