Chapter 25: Deck Chronicles : Transition
Omni Pov
Raymond quickly scanned again Marcus's office, hoping to find any additional clues or information that might aid him in his quest. He rifled through drawers, opened cabinets, and examined the various trinkets scattered across the desk.
Finding nothing of immediate significance, Raymond left the office and made his way towards the woods behind the now-destroyed mansion. The dense foliage and towering trees welcomed him, their whispers seemingly carrying echoes of his past training sessions. The familiar scent of earth and moss permeated the air, igniting memories of grueling workouts and the pursuit of excellence.
As he walked deeper into the woods, the sounds of nature enveloped him. The rustling of leaves, the distant chirping of birds, and the gentle babbling of a nearby stream created a symphony of tranquility.
Arriving at a secluded clearing, Raymond took a moment to survey the surroundings. The worn-out training equipment, the remnants of wooden dummies, and the faded footprints in the dirt marked the countless hours he had dedicated to honing his skills. It was here that he had pushed his limits, embraced pain, and transformed into the warrior he was today.
'Raymond we have company in the woods' Reminded ra
'I know...' Raymond respond with a cold face pressing the deck in his hand , ready for some action
' If i were you , i wouldn´t use the deck right now thou...' Said ra
'Why?' Asked a curious raymond
' As far as i can see raymond , you certainly are physically fit for it , but the problem lies in another part' Said ra with an uncertain tone
'What part?'Said raymond while carefully checking his surroundings trees
' Your magic ... , i will explain this in terms you will surely understand' Said ra while having a bit of dificulty explaining the matter
'Go on then' Replied raymond as he hide behind a tree and looks if there is someone in the forest
' Let´s say your transformation is similar to the Super Saiyan of Dragon ball , it doesn´t increse your power much like them but it certainly has it's beneficts, the downside is the same as namek goku first time transforming, you will get tired after transforming' Explained ra in detail
'How so?'Asked raymond as this didn´t happend in kamen rider ryuki, he understood the problems that lies within the transformation now
' You will be more faster , stronger , durable , etc than most
But your greatest advantages is in magic as it's helps you unlock yor magical affinities and combines them with the deck' Explained ra amazed by this new development
Raymond was quiet thinking of what this could mean to him , when suddenly he heard a voice behind him
"Look who do we have here , the "Prodigal Son" returned home" Said a voice in the dark
Raymond had already heard the previous footsteps of this figure and was about to transform despite the warnings of ra , but he stopped upon seeing the figure
It was one of his masters Boyka
"Well kid , you look like shit" Said yuri with a little smile glad to see his student once again
"Well , you certainly will not take me by surprise again master boyka" Said raymond with a cold face devoid of any emotion visible
"*Heh* , I see that you have pass for a "Wonderfull" experience , sorry i couldn´t be in your birthday kid , a couple of guys took me back to prison to have a world fighting tournament of inmates" Said boyka with a little of sadness as he had missed the little fucker a bit
"So what happened? , I assume it was the traitors due to marcus diary but i as i wasn´t here and i will asume you were , tell me about it" Said raymond while lookin in boyka´s eyes
"It didn´t happend in one day to another , they sabotaged first Marcus communication within the organization , then they took out his contacts and clients outside of it , the last straw was when they took you , marcus was seeing red so he went away in a very beautiful way " Replied a voice amused by the development of the cordinate attack , the unknown figure was sitting on a tree branch
Raymond looks up and find that the unknown voice was his other master wesley
"Marcus as he was aware that he was a dead man walking , he contact all of his remaining contacts he had said that they should disappear for a while and that someone will contact them when it´s the time, he also took a large number of money within the organization and he also opened bank accounts for you in different places, apart from that he contacted us and explained the situation and he also saved some info for you and some weapons the he found" Explained wesley as he jumps off the branch in a amazing display of agility
Wesley looks at Raymond for a moment
'Now you are ready , now that you have those eyes kid , *ha haa hahaahhahahhhHAHHAHAHAAHA*' Thought wesley with laughter
'The eyes that are indiferent to others sufferings ,the eyes of someone who doesn´t have a bottom line , the eyes of someone who will do whatever it takes to achieve his objetives, the eyes that show your transition from a kid to a monster' Finalice the train of thought of wesley
"What about the others?" Asked raymond thinking of something
"Luca was killed , sadly i really liked the guy , blade went missing , nobody knows where he is" Explained wesley
"So now what kid?" Asked Boyka
"Now , they must have think that we are dead , that we only are corpses at this point , so i want you to do something recruit some people competent please , then try to make as much connections as possible , i will deal with some treators within the organization as i had the info thanks to marcus and then we wait and grow again better than ever" Said raymond with conviction and a thirst for revenge
"But first i will change my clothes and walk to the city park as it's been quite a day and i am tired, i need something to relax myself" Said raymond while he gives his back to his teachers he was going to leave when he stops
"Do we have a safe house or something?" Asked raymond as the place he used to leave was either burned or destroyed
"We have a complex of appartments , all suits" Respond Yuri with a smirk on his face
"Perfect " Responded raymond as he made his way back to the destroyed mansion where he goes again to marcus office , takes all the bags with money , info , weapons and a special box that has his name
He goes to his room that was like a hurricane came over and change place of all of his things
He opens the box and reads a letter that marcus explains that this was his gift for his first mission
In the box there was a nice black coat for him , a pair of big black gloves , a nice shoes that were very nice , a black and a white nice shirts , three ties with the colours black ,red and black and gold , there was a russian kind of coat too , three pairs of socks , and most importantly a golden watch and a pair of glasses with the design that he likes
Raymond was filled with gratitude , he took a moment of silence to pray for marcus , and after that he went to his bathroom that was disorganized but it was funtional
So he took a long bath , then after he dry the water off himself , he changed and went to have a stroll to the near city park
He walk to the park , the journey was very quiet as he was still thinking what he will do now as he has to read the information marcus had obtained for him
