The Last Warlock

Seeing that Mack made his mind, the overseer said, "Ok, I will do the procedures needed and once we arrive at the destination, you will meet with someone from the assassins division. He will be responsible for handling you as your immediate contact inside the organization, oh, an important thing, never mention that you belong to this division to anyone, inside or outside the organization. The Assassins Division is not only responsible for assassinations but also for espionage and sabotage. Usually you should not even tell me, but as I'm an overseer for the trial, there is this exception as I need to know the personal information of everyone joining the trial and the desired divisions of everyone that passes."

Mack took a pause, and said, "So, I'm not going to some kind of 'HQ' right now?", he thought that he was going to meet the old man right now, along with other members of the organization and people that came together with the ones that joined the trial.

"No, Everyone will direct leave to their designed divisions, branchs and etc, the latter being the assassination division, due to obvious reasons." 

As if understanding what Mack was thinking, the overseer took a pause and said, "You are thinking about Harlack?"

"You know him?" asked Mack a little surprised.

"Hahahaha, of course I know him! He is an important figure inside the organization, to tell the true, I bet he will be your contact inside the organization too. So, you will probably meet him again in the end." said the overseer taking a pause an understanding the doubts that flashed inside Mack's head he said, "The people who came here to the trial with the ones trying to join were all members of the organization already, we would never let anyone jeopardize the trial, you must understand, people only know about us, when they are about to join us, ever!"

Mack gave a small nod as if understanding, and said "How do they keep everyone shut? I mean, people are bound to talk to wifes and etc..."

The overseer put a firm face, and said, "There is a Oath, everyone that joins will be doing one, it's a very ancient and mystical ritual, it can be said that this same oath is the reason why this organization came to be. Without it, there was no way that we will grow to this size and still be shadows among the society."

Just as Mack was about to nod he saw by the corner of the eye the girl from before coming, blond and long hair, pale face, and a missing leg, it was impossible to not recognize.

The girl stopped in her tracks when she saw Mack, and unsure if she should continue or go back, she stood there, unmoving.

The awkward scene was quickly relieved when the overseer noticed her and said, "Come, join us for a coffee. I thought you would sleep the entire trip, but it seems fate sought for you two to meet again. HaHaHa"

'You.....' Thought Mack. The scene was already awkward. There is no need to make it worst

'Can you be more professional? The girl clearly is almost to pass out again.'

The girl took a step and, as if still not used with a crutch, almost went back instead of forward, pain could be seen in her face, but she made out her way and walked to join the table.

"You must not worry about your leg or fingers. You will be able to utilize your contribution points for a biotech implant that will grow them again in no time." Said the overseer, seeing the pained face of the girl, and at the moment his words left his mouth. Surprise and joy could be seen on the girl's eyes.

She prompted to say something but quickly refrained. She didn't know if she was allowed to talk or how to proceed. She was as scared as someone could be. By one side someone who almost killed her and by the other side someone who importance could not be fathomed.

"Is there such a thing?" Asked Mack, surprised by how advanced the alien tech was.

"Of course, but why did you ask? I don't see you needing one. Your body should be at level four or five already, you don't need this." said the overseer.

"I was just curious. My home planet didn't have such a high tech. Nanobots were still in the early development," said Mack, taking a sip from his coffee.

Seeing both talking so casually and without formalities, the girl took courage and asked, "Is this implant expensive? I have a few savings I could use."

The overseer shook his head and said, "You can't use money to buy that, be it inside our organization or outside. This is high tech, that usually is only used by mortals or low level but influential people, and as it is, is used as a bargain chip. Every company that holds this tech uses it only as a favor, except us. You can buy this by using contributions points, that, in some way or other are a kind of 'favor' too in the end"

"Thank you for your answer. I thought I would be like this forever. But if I may, what are those levels you talked about? And why he doesn't need this tech? Is this some kind of secret? If is, please ignore my question." Said Lorin, subtly lowering her gaze. She could not contain her curiosity, but she knew she was stepping on eggs.

Hearing the question, the overseer brows furrowed, then he took the device by the table and pressed it a few times, and in a more relaxed tone, he said, "I see..... You are from that cursed planet.. That's why you don't know this kind of thing," then pressing on the device a few more times he suddenly laughed "HaHaHa, it seems fate really has something for you two. Lorin, the only division available to you is the Assassins Division"
