1 Of New Beginnings

<3rd Pov>

"Where am I?" A young teen whose age is no more than 18, first said after waking up with a massive headache.

"Ah, you're awake I see." The teen looked to his right, and then saw a busty asian lady, who looks like in her twenties, currently wearing a nurse uniform.

"Who, are you? And can you explain what is happening?" The teen said as he examined the room and saw a mirror. Reaching out to it and holding it up to his face. What greeted and faced him is a slender young teen, with pale skin. A heterochromia pair of eyes. One gold, another violet. He gazed at his head and saw a mix of white and black hair on top of his head.

"I see that you can't remember. Well, let's remind you again on what is your purpose here." She said, while the teen wonders why her voice contains pity and adoration at the same time.

"Ehem. Right now we are at CBO HQ, or Cord Battalion Onslaught Head Quarters. Your purpose here is to be a new recruit of the Cordial Warriors. A bunch of new recruits are also here the same time as you. If you are wondering what CBO does or being a Cordial means. It means being injected with Cord Particles into your body and awakening unique special abilities that you have, or we call it Cords.

You, my cute little warrior, just got injected and had a violent reaction right after. After scanning your vitals, nothing seems wrong. We are also clueless on what kind of Cord do you possess, since the analyzing machine isn't functioning properly on you.

Ah before I forgot, you wrote in your form that your name is Maou Hikaru. Now to the purpose of Cordial Warriors.

Cordial Warriors or Cordials, are our main source of fighting strength against the Deviano. Devianos are a species of unknown space virus and evolve through fast and various means. Specially when eating human flesh. Now, Devianos don't have weaknesses, except for one thing. Cord Particles. Which we discovered during year 2035 during an attack of the Devianos.

We experimented on it for 5 years, so, after 5 years of gruesome and tiring research, we were able to inject the Cord Particles to humans. As such, the Cordials were born." She explained in great detail while the teen vigorously listened to her explanation.

"Well, that's all I can say for now, and before I forgot. One thing that every Devianos share in common is, that they love to feast on human flesh and nuclear radiation. Never really knew why." She added while the teen, now named Maou, nodded.

"Thank you for that, miss?" Maou asked, not knowing the busty nurse's name.

"Oh my, I'm sorry about that. I'm Doctor Rachelle, pleased to meet you Maou." The now named Dr. Rachelle, giggled and greeted Maou. Maou can only scratch his head in awkwardness.

"Pleased to meet you too." Maou replied.

"You can get dismissed now if you want." Dr. Rachelle informed Maou who was now staring outside the window to the left.

Maou only nodded absently as he gaze at the apocalyptic wasteland just right outside the massive walls. Now that he thinks about it, his room is pretty high up in some kind of building.

In the distance he can see some kind of winged monster feasting on another kind of monster. He looked up and saw the still blue skies, giving hope for humans to survive.

Maou smiled a bit at that thought, but then frowned.

'If only it was that peaceful and nice. But those are dreams of the commoners I suppose... The dream of innocents... But now that I am a Cordial, and from Ms. Rachelle told me. My life will be full of chaos and killing. I just hope everything will go alright.' Maou thought as he gazed at the clear blue skies with lonesome mirth.

[Somewhere at the HQ]

"Bwuahahaha! So the little hatchling has awaken now eh? He nearly gave this old man a heart attack when he spasmed and fainted when you guys injected him with Cord Particles." An old man with a huge build laughed as he talks to person in front of him.

"Is it really a good idea to send him here at HQ? I mean, Philippines Branch is just near us anyway." Another old man with spectacles said.

"Psh! That kid will only be limited there anyway." The old man with huge build replied.

"C'mon now Old Garou, don't be like that." The one with spectacles said.

"Ah you old mongrel, you know how much I hate seeing wasted potential, right?" Old man named Garou said while he snorted and looked outside the window.

"You sound like Marko now." The other old man laughed and gazed at the same scenery Garou was looking at.

"Don't compare me with that piece of shit, Levi." Garou replied rather venomously at Levi.

"Now, now. No need to be angry and all. We all know that his training regime, while insane, are very effective right?" Levi eye-smiled Garou right after.

"Tsk! Effective in feeding them to the Deviano alright..." Garou sarcastically remarked while remembering some rather torturous training he went through under that senile old piece of shit that just won't die.

"Yeah, that we can agree on. But still, look at us now. Aren't we up here at the top because of his trainings?" Levi shuddered and smiled wryly at the same time.

"Enough about him, let's talk about my nephew. What do you plan on doing with him?" Garou asked and turned to Levi with his brows scrunched up.

"That depends on how good he is, it's a very cruel world out there. A lot of unknowns can happen, so you still sure that you will put him through this, Garou?" Levi said as he stared at Garou straight at his eyes.

"Bwuahaha! Even if I wanted to, it won't matter anyway. That kid is too good for his own good a lot of times. Always speaking about risking himself for the sake of others." Garou laughed at Levi's question and painfully smacked him to the shoulder.

"Dammit Garou! What did I tell you about the whole 'patting my shoulder thing'?!" Levi winced as he tried to retaliate back at Garou, but he's just too slow. He never was good with physical terms anyway, compared to Garou, The monster fitted inside a human vessel? That's a very harsh comparison.

"Bwuahahaha! Sorry my ol' friend, just can't keep my excitement you know? Anyway! I have to visit him soon enough, ja ne!" Garou scratched the back of his head comically and ran away with a dust clouds following his trails.

"Cough! Cough! Dammit Garou! Where did this dust come from anyway?! I swear I just cleaned the office a while ago." He mumbled grudgingly to himself as he tried to swipe away the remaining dust. Then he went back to his table only find himself dealing with his worst enemy of all time.

Paper. Works.

"How the fuck did they get so many again?!?!" Levi's roar of wrath echoed throughout the building as Garou bellowed a laugh while he dashed through corridors after corridors in order to reach his nephew.
