Chapter 22

Finally finishing dressing up the given uniform by Eco ,

Rina checked it by herself carefully ,the measurements fitted perfectly ,but she wouldn't have minded if the short sleeve shirt was bit less tight along with pants , least they took notice of giving underwear as well ,but even that seemed to be matched by color , finally she wore a long sleeve jacket on with sharp front ends and much shorter at back ,decorated by golden zippers and several pockets hidden from inside .It was interesting outfit she haven't seen before , everything was matching and decorated nicely .

Inhaling in a deep breath until her lungs ached ,she stepped out from restroom , seeing as Eco sat on bed holding a box with a number on it . Yet Eco looked at her up and down and Rina had to chuckle at the silliness of the girl ,she gave thumbs up for Rina nodding up lightly .

" What's next , Eco?" At that question Rina didn't bother sitting beside Eco , Watching her reactions despite the frightening appearance of her bandages and goth like hairstyle .The girl had more kind personality then one could have mistaken her for her outlook .She pointed at Her bare feet and opened the box taking out black matching ankle boots with iron attachments at sides and silver like zippers .Rina took them out and wore it quick enough,

Her uniform matching was done and it seemed nothing else she needed ,With that Eco stood up already intending to leave the room .But been stopped before her hand even reached the handle ,She looked puzzled and Rina spoke out coldly .

" If it's not to much to ask ,I don't want my real name to be spreaded up through the organization ,I know some of you use codenames ,so could you register me as Shifter instead ?" Rina didn't hid her cold expression and burning gaze aimed at Eco ,And the girl nodded , walking out of the room and nodding her chin slightly for Rina to follow .

"Ha..This kid " she didn't heard it surely .Eco walked first through the bright hallway as Rina followed from behind . Passing multiple of black doors with numbers and having plenty of turns ,it seemed as whole place was nearly like a maze ,until they passed the lab as Rina saw through window installed in the wall ,That Lian worked inside , patching up some unknown man shoulder injuries ,Memories was coming back but she chose to ignore it .

They walked further passed the armory as well since it was obvious given few females carrying rifles and snipers from there .

At last both of them arrived at the place ,it seemed like a giant room ,a center of many hallways and entrances leading to it , at the center stood a boxing ring and many other assassin's have already gathered there watching how the ring was occupied by a female with sleeveless shirt and tied ponytail , getting beaten up aggressively by a masculine man who wore short sleeve shirt and had plenty of sweat drops building up on his neck and forehead from pumping punches at her underneath ,while she kept on trying to dodge ,her physique couldn't match his ,she seemed to be getting slower from dozen of inflicted bruises and injuries . Others surrounded the ring ,some further leaned against the wall watching,few sat on floor leaning also ,Man's and woman's ,all less then their thirties but older then teenagers surely .All wore similar uniforms ,some had it bit different by design ,but the color matched it all .Some as well had weapons ,few a double like daggers with attached chains ,swords ,spears ,a scythe , another one a trident ,a petite female had rings with spikes attached to it and a chain .

They all had their own designs for weapons and each was different ,not all seemed to be European as few was asians and couple of other foreigners seemed .

Eco stood near Rina as finally the woman was kicked out from the ring nearby her feet and the man stood up claiming his victory as he yelled out and some others whistled ,adding up females giggles and man's gossiping.

Rina kneeled down before Eco could stop her as she offered her hand for the beaten girl to stand up ,She looked at her furiously as if wondering to herself if she was here to bully or her help was sincere .

Finally giving in and not waiting for the unknown girl answer ,Rina grabbed her by her hand and pulled her with force to stand up along with her .

" YOUU....IM fine.." The girl mumbled angrily and Rina nodded averting her gaze back at the ring and the man that stood full of pride .

The room been filled by ding sound and speaker from somewhere was heard , filling it up with Seductive female voice .

" AND THE VICTORY GOES FOR TITAN ONCE AGAIN ,sadly snake I hope next time you'll have your chance to win ,it's bit pitiful to see your pretty face getting beaten up every time " With that multiple of females bursted out laughing not holding themselves back .

" Now then comes your punishment Snake ,Boss demands your presence at his office ,Hurry up or he'll decorate you with new whips injuries huhu " With that the girl cursed for herself and hurriedly ran toward one of the hallways leaving her loss and everyone who watched behind her ,Her pride must have been scratched ,Rina thought and Eco watched them both in silence until she finally took out her smartphone ,tapping something in and hiding it back in her pants pocket .

" Now then continuing on with your fight experience test ,Titan you won multiple of victories in a row ,do you wish for rest ? " The speaker dinging sound echoed through the place and he yelled back punching his chest with a fist .

" I CAN CONTINUE IT ON " Some man's smiled in that response,perhaps admiring his courage ,but it seemed almost as a fool seeking death out of stamina .Rina crossed arms on her chest and watched of who will be next .

" Very well ,boss allows that ,your next opponent then is Ka....wait huh ? ...codename ? ...Ah yes yes your next opponent is our new Shifter ,Be gentle as she's a newcomer , boss wouldn't want us to collect her separate parts "With that the Speaker went silent and Eco looked at Rina worries visible on her face ,But It was expectable and Rina patted her shoulder in assurance before walking to a ring and leaning against it's ropes lazily watching the man standing on top of it grinning from ear to ear while watching her .

Others got curious enough as chattering filled up the room between males and females as some others watched in silence , narrowing their eyes or smiling in amusement.Few closed the distance and got closer to ring leaning in close .

" Come come little bird , I'll clip your wings as well like that little snake " Titan joked to himself expecting some reaction from audience but gaining none as they been to busy watching her and what she did .

Finally Rina looked around the room and pulled herself up climbing on a ring ,her leg injury still ached but since it was sewed up she had no problem since it wouldn't start bleeding unless she over flexed .

She stood in boxing position Michael teached her and Katrina at waterfall , It was a good stance ,easy to shift into aggressive or defense fighting style of hers .

" Isn't that ...X posture ? do you think he teached her ?" One girl mumbled to other and Rina heard it easily . Tending to ignore it and mask her emotions ,

" It's...similar ,but he never trained female before " another mumble ,and they continued on their conversation , unaware they actually been heard .

Not waiting for a counterattack Titan moved first closing the distance and swinging his fists at Rina as she avoided them all by leaning sideways or down , making it impossible for him to land a hit ,he was faster then ones she faced at Damien's mansion . Different methods of training perhaps she thought ,while she knew her body was as petite of that Snake girl ,she had more speed and strength , Seeing how Titan was rushing for the victory ,leaving so many openings , At one point she got bit further distance and started swinging kicks non stop back at him ,from different angles and different heights ,he didn't predicted them all ,even if few was defended ,others landed at his ribs ,stomach and his neck , rushing him out of breath .

Rina smiled at the progress knowing she was winning and finding his weakness with ease , her leg was hurting still but kicks seemed more powerful at such a big opponent instead of her small fists , when at last he was cornered she rushed in closing the distance ,stepping up on his leg and kicking with her free knee to his chin hard enough she heard his teeth breaking sound , seeing as his eyes rolled she landed her right elbow at top of his head with bigger force ,and stepped back down as he fell on his ass and the room became filled with talking and some cheers as well questioning.She tilted her head sideways watching them all as Eco rised her arms up congratulating for winning .

A ding sound and the speaker sound was heard again.

" Well...That was unpleasantly unexpected .Congrats on your first victory Shifter ,That is your first welcoming to Reapers ,Boss wants you to start training immediately,so find your Beta Team Leader and start up.For others ..DONT SKIP YOUR TRAININGS TO LITTLE FUCKERS "
