Chapter 40: Getting To Know Each Other

Next day.

Knock.

Lukas woke up to the door knocking.

He yawned and stretched out his hands.

It was a good night’s sleep for him on the soft bed.

Next to him was Shiba still asleep.

He summoned Shiba back into his summoner space and walked over to the door.

"Good morning." Emma was outside the door.

She was in a red t-shirt and red shorts.

"Morning." Lukas greeted her back.

"Come on down for breakfast after you’ve washed up." Emma turned around and waved for him to follow.

Lukas nodded and he went to the toilet in the room to wash up.

After he was done, he went down to the first floor for breakfast.

"Morning."

The rest of the team greeted him when they saw him.

On the dining table, there were eggs, bread, sausages, bacon, ham and sandwiches.

"I didn’t know your preference, so I hope you like it." Emma said and took a bite of her sandwich.

Lukas also smelled the aroma of coffee as Riley passed him a mug.

"Here." Riley said and got back to his seat. "Hurry and eat. You must be starving by now."

Riley looked at Lukas with a concerned look.

The empty plates which Riley saw in Lukas’s place convinced Riley that Lukas had a huge appetite.

Lukas didn’t know what to say to Riley, so he nodded and joined in at the table.

When he saw everyone engrossed in their food, he quietly hid some of the food into his Darkmatter Vault Armor.

Riley was shocked when he saw Lukas finishing his food so quickly.

"You... need more?" He said as he pointed at the empty plates in front of Lukas.

"I’m full already." Lukas replied.

Harianto then chimed in and said, "Find me in the basement with your armor since you are done, let me get your armor fixed."

"Thanks." Lukas said and he went up to his room and changed out of his Darkmatter Vault Armor.

The basement was full of equipment and electronics.

There were also weapons stored in their racks.

Harianto was working on something else when Lukas arrived.

"Here." Lukas passed his Darkmatter Vault Armor over to Harianto.

Harianto took the Darkmatter Vault Armor and got to work.

His hands glowed and the chips and other materials on the workbench started moving on their own.

They flew and attached onto the holes in the Darkmatter Vault Armor.

Slowly, they morphed and patched up the holes.

And soon, the Darkmatter Vault Armor looked as good as new.

Lukas was surprised at how easy it looked.

"Looks like you had some tough battle with someone who was at Adept Mastery." Harianto handed Lukas back his armor and said.

"Adept Mastery?" Lukas asked.

Harianto tilted his head and asked, "Did you not learn this in school after you went through the Awakening Process?"

"No. I dropped out before that." Lukas said.

"That explains a lot." Harianto patted Lukas on his shoulder and said, "As you get stronger with the demonic cores, you gain more mastery over your SS or SSS Level abilities.

"There are five levels you can ascend, Novice, Adept, Expert, Mastery and Transcendent.

"With each level you are more powerful and have more mastery over your abilities.

"For some, their abilities get leveled up.

"Your armor can withstand attacks from someone that’s at Novice level.

"So, those that caused the damages must have been someone that’s at least at Adept Mastery."

Lukas noted down everything Harianto had said.

Pak Yun and the man with the skeleton mask must have been someone that’s at least at Adept Mastery.

"Thanks for letting me know." Lukas said.

He was genuinely glad that not only his armor was fixed, but he also didn’t have to go and find out from Mandy.

Harianto smiled and said, "You knowing more ensures our team’s survival too. So, it’s beneficial to all of us."

When Lukas got back up to the first floor, Emma and Rex were having a duel out in the garden, with Riley watching at the side.

Lukas went up to Riley and watched the duel between Emma and Rex.

Rex’s body had turned into rocks, and he was smashing his now huge fist at Emma.

Emma danced around quickly, leaving a trail of red behind her.

When she appeared behind Rex, she opened her mouth, and red smoke came out of her mouth.

Rex quickly leaped away.

The red smoke, when it touched onto some of the flowers in the surroundings, caused the flowers to wither and decay.

Emma wanted to lunge at Rex, but Rex conjured up a wall made of rocks protecting him from Emma’s poisonous smoke.

"That’s their ability. The other team members are actually just as powerful as me with their SS Level ability." Riley said and glanced at Lukas, "I sincerely hope you can stay with our team after this.

"If you want to, you can keep the demonic beast cores you harvest."

Riley made an offer no one could resist.

Working with one of the most powerful awakened teams in the city and getting to keep the spoils was a no brainer to anyone.

Lukas felt at home with them, and he was planning to join an awakened team anyway.

He didn’t think for too long before he nodded his head and said, "I’m in."

Riley’s eyes opened wide, and he reached out his hand for a handshake.

"Welcome to the team."

Lukas shook hands with him.

This time joining the team for real.

"Riley!" Rex shouted at Riley.

"How about you and Lukas have a match and see who’s better." Rex said with a grin.

Riley rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Rex had been eager to find out who’s stronger ever since Lukas was able to break Riley’s record.

"Maybe you should focus on beating me first." Emma tapped hard on Rex’s back and walked back into the building.

"I didn’t lose. I just accidentally slipped." Rex waved his hand in objection and followed behind her.

But Emma didn’t bother and picked up an iced tea to cool herself down.

Riley’s phone rang.

He picked it up and Lukas noticed Riley’s expression turned into a concerned look.

"I will see to it." Riley said and looked at everyone.

"It seems like the Pak family has gone full on crazy."
