Book 1: Chapter 31: New Home Part I

Scarlet

As it turns out, Sylver doesnt have a car and is using a magi-tech motorcycle instead. So the ride there ends up being a tad awkward and very unpleasant for me due to my dislike of physical contact, but nonetheless short and quiet. And by the time we reach the base, I realize that its not actually in the city proper, but in one of those large, wide open areas that while still inside the city dome is surrounded by open land. Or, open in the sense that its filled with training grounds, areas where I find people testing new magi-tech gear despite it still being the middle of a Demonic Assault, and even some areas where theyre for some reason raising cattle.

Several of the people around the base stop what theyre doing and wave at us, not even showing any surprise at my presence.

Guess they were already notified ahead of time?

Sylver doesnt bother waving back as he continues driving the hoverbike past them and into a garage that opens up the moment he gets near before closing again after were inside. He then drives a little bit further in and stops near a bunch of other bikes. And the moment he does, I jump off of the vehicle, handing him back his helmet to build distance between us.

The guy doesnt say anything, although he does look vaguely surprised as he turns off the engine and gets off of the vehicle himself.

I ignore his surprise to look around at the large garage. In it are a couple dozen expensive looking vehicles. Some of which are similar to the one Sylver was riding, and others are magi-tech cars. There is even one magi-tech artillery vehicle for some reason.

But then again, the Silver Association does have a leader who is one of the current leading inventors and innovators of magi-tech. So, it makes some sense theyd have random artillery.

Aside from that, the garage itself has a very high tech feeling to it, with smooth metal walls, each with a neon blue line of mana flowing through them powering the shields defending the walls. Meanwhile, the entryway we went through vanished the moment we passed through after it closed, the door so well hidden that its nearly impossible to tell just where it is anymore. And the door on the other side of the garage that leads further into the base has the blue lines from both sides of the door converging into a large blue circle.

I do as she says, making a glowing bar of light pass back and forth across the scanner, following which I feel a very light prick on the palm of my hand and the screen changes to say, Mana signature and palm print stored. New owner assigned.

This is your suite of rooms. Do be careful not to disturb your neighbors as some of them do bite, Sage says with a warning before turning around and leaving me behind right as the door to my new suite opens up.

Some of the neighbors bite? What?

I frown as I try to figure out what she meant, only to shrug and enter the suite. And soon enough, I find myself smiling at the large entry room meant just for me.

This will be a very nice change of pace from the hotels Ive been staying in. Even if the hotels arent that bad.

I go around the suite for a bit, checking out the rooms to find that there is a bathroom with a tub and a shower separate from each other, an entry room, a bedroom, a workout room with a notice that theres also a public gym, and a rather large living area.

Whoever chose my suite for me looks like they knew my favorite colors, since theres a lot of reds and blacks everywhere.

But after a brief glimpse through the rooms, I walk up to the door to the suite, close it with my handprint, then head straight to the bedroom and collapse on the very comfortable mattress, falling asleep almost the instant my head hits the pillow after a brief glance at my reflection in the screen of the clock sitting next to the bed.
