Chapter 4 - Fake Form

"So, this is the first mission—saving an actress named Zyla. But wait, it says it's a kidnapping, yet no one seems to know where she is," Eeron mutters as he gets ready and leaves his house to reach the base.

"Are you ready? It's me, Systen. Recognize me?" Systen asks.

Eeron thinks to himself, "A second... yes, Systen was my boss, but when we first met, he was never this civil with me..."

"Don't you know how to behave with your boss?" Systen says, kicking Eeron to the ground.

"Ugh... sorry," Eeron says, picking himself up.

"Listen, punk! Don't you dare betray me, because you know exactly where you stand, don't you?"

"Yes, Boss," Eeron replies, thinking, "This guy acts like he's some high-ranking minister, but what can I do? I'm helpless..."

"Listen, Kritva has joined as a newcomer too, and she's assigned to this team. Behave yourself with her, or you know what I'll do to you."

"What will you do?" Kritva enters the chat...

"Hi Eeron! I'm Kritva. I'm new like you, but I study with Systen. Nice to meet you!" Kritva says cheerfully.

"Ugh, there are too many troops here," Systen says, annoyed.

"Systen!!" Eeron shouts but immediately freezes in fear. "Sorry... Boss, can I get one chance to go in?"

"Fine, go. It'll be a good test for you," Systen replies.

"Roger that!" Eeron sprints forward.

He blinds the first guard with his handkerchief and slams a knife into his forehead before moving toward the second. The guard spots Eeron, points his gun, and sneers, "This isn't as easy as putting butter on bread, kid!"

"I know. That's why I came prepared," Eeron says, instantly deploying a smoke screen.

The next moment, the guard has a knife driven into his eyes and is screaming in agony. Hearing the commotion, the others charge into the smoke. But they only find two men: one with a knife in his skull and the other with his eyes missing.

"Are these eyes or Gems chocolates? These knives won't come out," Eeron thinks as he lurks in the shadows.

He had slipped behind them the moment they charged, invisible in the smoke. However, one guard stayed back to watch Zyla and spotted Eeron. Eeron pulls his 9mm and fires 17-18 rounds. Hearing the gunfire, the remaining guards rush him. One manages to fire a shot at Eeron's leg.

Suddenly, a notification flashes: [Fake Form 3: Started (Awakened)]

In the blink of an eye, all 8 men were on the floor. Eeron's eyes were glowing with yellow electricity. Actually, unbeknownst to him, he carries the soul of a Leopard within his Leopard Instinct. If he takes damage, it awakens and evolves according to the situation. However, it doesn't activate on friendly Attacks.
