(Ceremonial ground)
The trios and the rest of the remaining contestants were standing in a line. Lucarius was nervous as each one of their names were called up in an orderly fashion to receive their badge, valor, and uniforms accordingly.
In a way, it reminded Lucarius the time he was graduating. The event right now is very similar to something right now, but the difference between the amount of people and respect is something vastly different.
Finally the announcer called Lucarius. "I welcome Lucarius Trinity, who is a low human, to The Council."
As Lucarius went up, he noticed Mia and Grayl were silently cheering. As he was approaching he also noticed Larulis and Trixi. It seemed that they both managed to make it. When Lucarius and Larulis' eyes met, Larulis grinned and blew him a kiss. Lucarius shuddered but still managed to proceed toward the front.
In front of the podium stood a male, normal human. He has a tanned skin with a hair that was brownish yellow. He seemed athletic despite being one of the ambassador for the human race. He wore a suit that seemed to be in Earth. To top it off, he wore a top hat that seemed quite silly for him.
The man gave Lucarius a welcoming smile. He than proceed to shake his hands. Then the man offered his attire. Lucarius gracefully accepted the attire and quickly stepped away from the platform and quickly reformed in lines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(an hour later)
The ceremony was finally over. many people were either heading towards their friends and family or towards the banquet that the council prepared. Lucarius however stared into the distance. He truly missed his friends and family back home. He wished he could return home and tell this news.
While he was dazing off into the distance, Mia and Grayl approached Lucarius.
"Where are you staring at Lucarius?" asked Mia. At this Lucarius lost his thought and focused on his new friends. "Nothing really...it's just...I want to see my family."
Mia and Grayl stared at Lucarius then at each other. Grayl scratched his head. "You know you can use the portal gate located at the center of the city. It connects to everywhere it can find as long as no one manage to somehow intercept the signal."
At this Lucarius suddenly became excited. "Really? Is this true? Your not lying right?" said Lucarius while grabbing Grayl's hand.
Grayl was surprised but soon regained himself. "Of course you can! Here I'll guide you to the nearest gate." Grayl let out a genuine happy smile for his friend.
The joyful atmosphere was disturbed however, when a man slowly approached the trio. Lucarius faced the approaching man and recognized that the man was the same human that stood at the front of the podium.
The man smiled. "Your name was Lucarius is it? I am here to talk to you, if you are willing."
Lucarius faced the man and extended his hand towards the man. "Hello there sir, my name is indeed Lucarius. And who am I talking to?" asked Lucarius. The man looked at the hand and extended his own and shook it. "Glad to meet you. The name is Brian Deller. I am a low Human just as you."
Lucarius and his friend was surprised. According to Grayl, it was hard to see a low human since they were considered very weak compared to the majority of the other races. Low humans had hard time getting a job in the abyss and the fact that he was working for the council shocked them more.
"Lucarius, I am here to offer a job for you and your friends. I believe that deep inside of you, you have huge potential. Therefore I want to assign you to an officer training camp so that you may become a respectable man that works for me."
Lucarius was surprised that this man is willing to offer a high position job just for him and his friends. Just when he was about to answer, Mia suddenly stepped in front of him.
"We are very sorry Sir Deller, but we already denied Silia's offer and we can only deny-" Brian suddenly interrupted.
"Are you sure you would cancel this generous gifts? Do remember that I want you people because of your potential to help those around you and not milk you of your skills and whatnot."
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Grayl stepped in. "How much are you willing to pay us then?" questioned Grayl. Brian gave a business smile. "oh just a generous donation of five thousand credits a year?"
Both Grayl and Mia's jaw dropped after hearing this. Lucarius, who did not know the currency stayed back and handed the situation over to the siblings. In the Abyss, a police officer usually gets five to twenty credits a month. A soldier that works inside the council gets hundred to eight hundred credits a year (depending on the rank). And lastly an officer can get a thousand to three thousand a year.
Yet this man was willing to offer a great amount of money to the trio, it was a very tempting offer indeed. Lucarius was very pleased with the offer but still felt strange. He felt as if the man was hiding something.
Mia and Grayl were estimating on what they can do with that sort of money when Lucarius interrupted the mood. "May ask a question, sir?" Lucarius asked. Brian stared at him and gave a smile. "Sure I am willing?"
Lucarius nodded and continued. "Why are you willing to give us this offer. Although the offer is very generous, it looks as if you have a hidden agenda that relates with us." The man was quiet for a second before smiling warmly. "I am just here to give you an offer since you belong to the same race. It is quite lonely here, not many low human stays inside the Abyss. Those that do usually gets swallowed up by those with great powers."
Lucarius tried observing Brian for a moment but couldn't see anything suspicious.
"Alright then, when do we begin?" Brian clapped his hands together. "Excellent choice my boy, I will see you all tomorrow. You can ask the front to be addressed to my room and I will send you to the training camp tomorrow."
Before Brian left, he handed out a ring to each of them. "This ring here, is an inter spatial ring. Inside there is your early check for this month." Then he headed towards the banquet.
As soon as he handed the inter spatial ring, Mia and Grayl both gawked at the item. Then they both hurriedly looked inside and squealed in joy.
Mia hugged Lucarius and hoped around in joy. "We are rich Lucarius, by the gods we are RICH!" beside Lucarius Grayl laughed "With this money I can buy a new sword. In fact i can buy a whole Armour and better house, somewhere near the capital!"
While the two of them were celebrating, Lucarius looked inside also. When he looked at the gem placed onto the ring, a hole opened up and inside, he could see gold coins that had an etching of 'C' on it.

(Back at the police station)
Right now, there was chaos inside the police station. Inside, Police officers were trying to take down an aligator man that was rampaging inside. Already many officers were injured and some were not moving.
Among the officer, Jackson was still standing, he and a couple of officers were still facing against the beast. The alligator man however did not have a single scratch on him. The alligator man's snout was already covered in blood from the fallen members that became victims to his teeth.
The alligator man grinned. "Here bunny, come to this uncle. I promise that it will be painless."
Jackson wasn't in a good condition and one could see that he was covered in wounds. He was bleeding everywhere and was also dizzy due to the lack of blood. He grimaced. "I can't believe an S rank criminal like you is inside the capital."
The alligator man that was fighting Jackson was called JaarChomp the 'Chomper' He was a notorious criminal that is known for devouring his victims whole and even known for cannibalizing his own kind. Many know that JaarChomp works with one of the 'Seven tyrants' named 'Rage Angel', an archangel that was banished and became an XX rank criminal. While Jaarchomp favors to bite on his victims, he has a gigantic cleaver made from an onyx dragon's jaw and bear traps as his secondary.
Jackson was cornered. He knew he cannot face this overpowering thug on his own. At the most, he had to warn the trio before JaarChomp tracked them.
He did not have enough time however, as Jaarchomp lunged towards Jackson without making him realize he was there. Jackson barely dodged it in time and prepared a counter attack. Suddenly he was hit by a sharp object towards the side. It appeared that JaarChomp was aware that Jackson will dodge it and aimed his cleaver where he would be.
Jackson couldn't block it and was sent flying into a wall, caving it in. Blood spurted from his mouth and he fell down onto the cold floor.
Too much blood left his body, he couldn't move as the impact caused his bone to break. The last thing he seen was the hulking figure of JaarChomp slowly approaching him while he retrieves his cleaver. Then he slowly closed his eyes, as his consciousness slowly faded.
