Chapter 17- Small Improvements

The week has finally passed, I made quite a great progress on Lilian and Lily, quite an interesting week I must say, there mental state is much more stable, but there is some quirks that Lilian demonstrated, she is quite...... Clingy. It may be due to lack of receiving love from her parents, that is why she is projecting some of her attention to me. It is not a hassle and it is a good thing that she trust me, but I do want her to be able to much more dependent on herself.

As for Lily, I have never expected her to be much more forward on her actions, she is a bit aggressive especially if she demanded some head pats, but I do think it is good progress, since she is quite known to not trust other people.

Still the Citadel is quite lenient on having physical contact with the patient. If this was the other clinics I would be instantly blacklisted and be revoked of my license. Even the AMCS, I mean allowing videogames inside the therapy room now that is quite a spectacle of a therapy session, what's next then allowing to date the patients?

I am just culture shock in this place, but if they are this lenient, then maybe I can request some resources needed for a successful rehabilitation, still most of the patients here are high ranking magic users, so that's why they want to give me every possible advantage I can get.

Sigh... Enough of my ramblings, still I needed to complete this damn paperwork, added with the new schedule of the new patients. Specially with Miss. Schwarz there are still no background information of her, I do hope that the head of the AMCS can be contacted right now.

Now let's see 9:00 AM will be the start of the session and it will end on 5:00 PM, the last patient will be Miss. Schwarz. This will be an interesting session, I just hope that it won't end in another violent first impression.

A guard then entered the office his mask glowed a red hue, his footsteps clacking as he gave Alexander a small device.

"Goodmorning Dr. Weiss, Mr. Evan wanted to give this memory bank to you, it contains some video of Miss. Schwarz during the 4th corporation war, he said that it is crucial to know how Miss. Schwarz magic works."

"Ah of course, thank you so much, but may I ask why Mr. Evan can't be contacted now?"

"Mr. Evan as of now, have some issues regarding with the new budgetary increase of the Citadel, he is quite busy for the moment."

"That's understandable, well then if Mr. Evan is not busy can you tell him that I will be requesting some things."

"Of course Dr. Weiss, I will take my leave then sir."

The guard then leaves, the clacking of his armor can still be heard as he closed the door, the office has gone silent again.

Quite a predicament..... Now let's see the video, where's the damn drive port again on this Holo Computer? Sigh.... That is why old school laptops are much superior.

Alexander keeps fiddling with the Holo Computer until he finally he have found the drive port, he then quickly inserted memory bank.

Okay found it now, let's see....... Only 3 videos? Interesting maybe they are having a hard time to capture a footage on her. Let's just play the damn video.

A war torn city, bellows of fire burns every part of the buildings, the streets are now covered with rubble, such atrocities are caused due to the greediness of the corporations.

Hanged bodies displayed as war trophies........ Such tactics are use to scare the average men, people running away from the gunfire, some laid down awaiting their deaths, some have turn have turned into disgusting mangled flesh. Soldiers of the Enlytic Corporation rushed through every streets ambushing the Regenleif soldiers.

This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

"Enemy contact, fall back on the defensive perimeter, shit what's the status of the reinforcement?"

"Sir we can't get through, the Enlytic dogs has blocked our signals."

The camera was shaking, explosions the ground shaked, muzzle flashes of rifles and magic whirred towards the soldiers, some of the Regenleif soldiers fired back, their body caught on crossfire turning their bodies full of bullet holes.

A large mech then appeared a 8 meter monstrosity, Its gatling cannon summoned many magic runes, humming as it prepare to fire.

"All of you goddamn duck!" The Regenleif corporal screamed, a huge burst of machine gun fire screamed on the barrel of the mech, killing and ripping the soldiers to pieces, blood was littered on the streets, the screams of the soldiers as they called for their gods turn silent.

"God! Where the fuck is our-" The soldier who have covered in the walls burst into a maddening blood bath, each round fired by the mech turns a soldier into a pile of fleshy corpse.

"God, god, god! God fucking damnit" The Regenleif soldier charge at the mech his sanity is waning, the bodies of his comrades fell one by one, a crazy mania falls upon him, the attached bayonet on his MRR (Mana Reinforced Rifle) latches at the mech, he keeps stabbing it to no effect, a single stomp silences the crazed soldier.

The mech rampages on the soldiers breaking their hastily built defenses, a bloodbath was ensued screams of the soldiers wailed at the streets of Argonia.

Until a sound tearing weapon was fired, a white beam pierces through the mechs force field, penetrating its armored metal body broke upon impact, making it's components burst into a cascading flames.

The soldiers of the Enlytic Corporation was shocked, their silence is loud as the weapon fired, a gunshot was then heard sniping one of the soldier making it's head burst into a bloody pile of matter.

"Push, push, push don't let those moneybags get the fuck away."

A rugged man screamed, their uniform is different, waves upon waves of the people arrived, each of them have varied equipments, their insignia have a skull flower that was biting a sword.

A mercenary group, they suppressed most of the Enlytic soldiers, some of the soldier surrendered, but was simply shot in the head, the battle has now concluded.

The camera then pans on a masked individual, it's armor have a black carapace covering its entire body, an insignia lodged on its chest, it was a simple cross with a serpent clinging to it, it was wearing a red mask a smiling theater mask.

The video then ended, hmm interesting, still the only info I get is that, white beam easily destroyed a mech, and also that masked person, well then lets click the second video.

A massacre, piles of body scattered on the streets painting it red, the camera pans on the bodies, it was the mercenary group, crackles of gunshot was heard, the camera then pans at the masked person.

The person summoned a weapon on it's hand, particles of red then was emitted, it then formed what looks like a gun, it was a long red sniper rifle, the masked person then aimed.

A humming sound was heard, then a loud screeching can be heard by the weapon, until a white beam then was fired. The recoil of the sniper rifle, was so strong that it pushed back the Masked person by a couple of meters.

The camera then pans on the location that the masked person fired, a large mushroom cloud appeared, wiping out everything in its path, disintegrating all of the building that was present, a large shockwave was then emitted, it blow back the rubble and the stones away until the shockwaves arrived at the person, the camera got blown away ending it's recording.

Alexander was silent, the power demonstrated by the masked person, no by Miss. Schwarz, the way her magic materialized her weapon, she was in complete control, her mana particles synchronize with the weapon she uses, she has the possibility to almost rival the world enders.

There is only one video left, Alexander then moved the cursor to he video, he then clicked it, an error appeared, the file won't open no matter how many times Alexander clicked it.

"Tsk, Should I call Mr. Evan? Sigh... Let's not disturb him as of now, even though I'm curious about this 3rd file.... Is it possible this is the event of Argonia's destruction?"

Alexander grumbles, his mind still thinks what's inside the 3rd file, he then shut down the Holo Computer, where's my damn cigarette again? Sigh.... So many question yet there is little answer.

At least this cigarette will calm me down a bit. Alexander puffs his cigarette, the smokes permeates the therapy room, what time is it again? Oh shit it's almost 9, Alexander then flicked his cigarette off, the footsteps of the guard, until he opened the door.

"Dr. Weiss, sorry to disturb you, but your session has now started."

"Of course, well then, let's go?"

Alexander's and the guard, walked to the therapy building, the white background colors, permeates on their vision.

They finally arrived at the therapy room, the guards greeted Alexander,many of the AMCS did the last minute cleanup, He then entered the entrance, for a while he was seated at his chair.

Until a woman arrived, she was wearing, a prisoner's clothes, her ranking was displayed in the back, the AMCS the let the prisoner get in the glass entrance.

"Goodmorning Mrs. Drezner, It is pleasure meeting you, I will be you therapist as of now." Alexander gave a woman a smile.
