Primordial Soul's Rebirth

//// Author Note: Sorry for the chapter delay guys but the mass release of 10 chapters was a bit too much for me and I had a severe headache.

There will only be a single chapter today, but don't worry, I'll be back with two chapters by tomorrow. ////

The special S-rank gate was cleared by the Crimson Lotus Guild, and this was the biggest news around the world.

Then there were many questions people from all over the world had about the strange shockwave that was released and many others.

But all of them were somehow linked with the gate, and the only ones who could somewhat answer the questions were the Crimson Lotus Guild.

So, the press conference that was being held made the reporters from all over the world come running to ask questions, making the total number of reporters that came for the press conference reach higher than 1000.

Now, what do you think would happen if those 1000 or more reporters were to rush into a hall?

Chaos, that's what would happen and that's what was happening.

Just as the gate was opened, the reporters and their cameraman rushed in like a herd of bulls.

They just kept pushing each other causing a lot of chaotic commotion.

"Miss Alice, what was the gate like from the inside?"

"Miss Alice, can you tell us what happened inside?"

"Did you guys do something that caused the shockwave?"

"How are you guys going to compensate the world for its loss?"

"Mister Michale, can you tell...….."

"Mister Matthew...…"

"Why did...."

"Miss..."

....

…

.

They rushed toward Alex, Alice, and Frank and they kept bombarding them with questions.

Just then a colossal pressure engulfed the whole training hall, making all of them fall to the ground.

Even the cameraman couldn't keep their cameras up as the cameras were now facing the ground.

But then...

*Woosh**Slash*

The whistling was heard, followed by the sound of flesh being slashed.

*Thud*

Then something fell, they could not tell what it was as their heads were down, but then some reporters saw blood.

But again, they could neither scream nor move, after all, the pressure had kept them locked on the ground.

*Woosh*X3

*Slash*X3

Then the same thing happened three more times.

'Murder!!'

'They killed someone!'

This was what the reporters were thinking until they heard a calm and unbothered voice.

"The ones that I killed were assassins, you can check on them or do whatever you want to, just for your information," They didn't need to think twice to know who had spoken, it was Alex.

They calmed down after hearing his words, but then they heard him speak again.

"Anyone who is still rushing towards us and not the chairs will be considered an assassin and taken care of accordingly, so be mindful of your actions,"

Just after they heard Alex say that they felt the pressure vanish.

Their eyes inadvertently turned towards the corpse of the assassins and they could see the bodies of the assassins still on their knees while their heads were on the ground, but they quickly looked away and silently moved toward the chairs to get a seat.

None of the cameramen turned their cameras toward the corpse of the assassins so as to not get suspected of something bad, they just moved to the back, positioned their cameras, and started the feed again.

There were quite a lot of reporters, so much that there were no seats for all of them to sit but they were fine standing and they were not going to complain about those minor stuffs.

The reporters didn't say anything or do anything, they just sat there in silence as they looked at Alex. Alice, Frank, and Ann.

They were waiting for their signal to speak and before long Ann walked in front of the stage and spoke.

"Miss Alice will randomly pick one of you to ask your question, but remember that you can only ask ONE question to any ONE of them."

Alice stopped after she spoke that, letting the reporters understand what she meant.

Looking at the raiders nodding their heads as if they understood the meaning, Ann spoke again.

"We will now start the press conference."

Right after she said that the cameramen on the back started clicking images.

"I will leave the rest to you, President."

Ann moved back after she spoke that, standing behind Alice like she was standing from the start.

"Thank you, Ann." Alice thanked Ann and then she turned towards the reporter and pointed at one randomly.

"You, the one with glasses."

The reporter in question hurriedly stood up and spoke.

"My question is for you, Miss Alice." The reporter with glasses spoke.

"Just ask," Alice spoke as she leaned forward on the table in front of her.

"What happened inside the gate?" The reporter asked.

"Many things happened, next."

Alice spoke directly, shooting down the guy.

The reporter stood there dumbfoundedly, unable to understand what happened.

"You, the one in light blue coat."

Alice pointed at the next guy among the crowd of reporters.

The reporter with glasses finally understood what had happened, and he just sighed as he sat down, knowing full well that he lost his chance to get an answer because he tried to be over-smart.

The reporter had asked the question hoping for a detailed description of what had happened. But now his question backfired on him.

"Miss Alice, do you know what that shockwave was?" The guy asked.

"No," Alice's answer was again simple and straightforward.

After returning from the gate, Alice, Ann, and Alex did a lot of digging, they looked around and talked with the people in the guild so they knew what had happened in the world while they were inside the gate.

The guy kept standing as if waiting for Alice to continue but he saw Alice pointing at another reporter. The guy just sat down without a word as he saw that.

"You, the lady with brown hair."

Alice pointed at the next person she chose.

"Miss Alice, how did all the A-rank raiders that entered the gate turn into S-rankers?"

The lady spoke.

"Finally someone with a decent question," Alice sighed causing the lady to smile a bit at the compliment.

"Now to answer your question: they were ranked up by the same shockwave that ranked up the people outside."

Listening to Alice's answer, many reporters started murmuring.

*Tap*

But a single sound of the table being tapped was heard, causing everyone to turn quiet again.

The thing to note was that a single tap was still heard in a hall full of people who were whispering to each other.

All of them just looked at Alex who had tapped his finger on the table in front of him as he sat relaxedly.

"Thank you for doing that," Alice spoke to Alex with a smile and he just nodded his head.

"You, the one with a pink shirt and black coat."

Alice pointed at the next guy.

"Miss Alice, can you tell us what the boss of the gate dropped?"

The reporter in question asked.

"No, that's not something I can tell you."

Alice simply replied and moved to the next person.

"Now, you, the guy with long hair."

Alice pointed at the next person and the guy stood up without hurry before he asked his question.

"Mister Matthew, people say that your guild has become arrogant because of the power they gained, what are your thoughts about that?"

The hall became still as the guy asked the question before Alex finally looked at the guy and moved his lips.
