The Scorpion's Attack

Rogan and many injured trainees into a large room, and a number of doctors wearing green attire enter. The 28-year-old doctor, Sasaki Akari, approaches Rogan...

Akari: How are you?

Rogan: I'm fine, but I feel tired...

Akari: Don't worry...

She places her hand on Rogan's wound...

Akari: As I expected, the training needles haven't changed...

She takes out a vial containing a yellow liquid from her bag and pours a little into a cup...

Akari: Drink this, but it tastes weird and disgusting. We're still working on it...

Rogan takes the first sip of the liquid and spits it out!!

Rogan: What is this?! It's so gross!!

Akari slaps him across the face...

Akari: What's wrong with you? I told you, do you want to die like this?

Rogan: No...

Akari yells at him: Then drink it! If you spit it out this time, I'll let you die!

Rogan drinks it all in one go...

Rogan: This is really bad... Are we done?

Akari: Not yet...

She takes a needle from her bag with a shiny white liquid, fills the syringe, and injects it near the wound... She waits for a moment, and suddenly the wound closes...

Rogan: What the?! I'm completely healed!

Akari: Of course, our equipment is unmatched, but don't move your hand too much. The wound is still tender...

Rogan: Understood... And thank you. Can I go rest with my friends now?

Akari: Yes, go ahead...

Rogan leaves the room and hears the sound of a man screaming. He moves forward to see and finds a man there, with three others trying to calm him down...

The man: Stay away from me!!! I'll do what I want!!..

He kicks one of the three to the ground...

Immediately, the one behind him hits him on the head, and he falls to the ground unconscious.

Rogan quickly hurries out of the place, and as he exits, he sees Akari crying. He approaches her...

Rogan: What's wrong, miss? Why are you crying?

Akari: Nothing, nothing...

Rogan: How is it nothing when you're crying like this? I can help you, tell me...

Akari: I'm sad for those trainees... Their kind faces... For the training to end up like this... What if they find out the truth about the outside? That the scorpions out there are completely different. I'm sorry, but this is the truth.

Rogan: Don't worry, we're here to train for this...

Akari: I forgot to ask, what's your name?

Rogan: I'm Rogan Broad.

Akari: I'm Sasaki Akari. I've been a doctor here for twelve years. I've been outside, and there are many things that will surprise you. I know some of you have great power, but I'm afraid...

Rogan (smiling): You're the first person I've met here who has feelings. Don't worry, if any of us hears that something threatens our family, we'll do anything to protect them.

Akari: Yes, but my sister... No, nothing.

Rogan: What about your sister?

Akari (crying): My sister was the most beautiful girl... She was killed by a Silamudor scorpion from the Karyo clan on her first mission...

Rogan: I'm sorry for bringing this up.

Akari: Don't apologize. I can't forget until every Silamudor scorpion is dead!!

Rogan: But I heard you say "Karyo clan." What is that? I don't understand.

Akari: What? I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to tell you.

Rogan: Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Akari (interrupting): I told you, it's forbidden... You'll find out in time...

Rogan: Alright, alright, it's fine. But know that the day will come when you'll avenge your sister.

Akari: Thank you for those brave words, and you don't even know everything yet...

They laugh.

Akari: Come on, go and rest. Tomorrow will be a bit tough.

Rogan: Yes, you're right. I'm really exhausted. Goodbye.

Rogan heads to the resting area. When he arrives, he sees all the trainees asleep except for Sumiko...

Sumiko: Thank goodness you're safe. Are you feeling better?

Rogan: Thank you, I'm fine, Sumiko. Come on, we should sleep. Aren't you tired?

Sumiko: Yes, we should sleep...
