Ranking System

The day after my date with Courtney, I was out with Rose. It was rare for me to be alone with Rose, but since it happened, it was a rare opportunity to have some fun with her alone.

Rose wasn't working today, so the maid outfit she usually wore was now off. This time she had a casual purple dress which was a different contrast to her usual outfit.

"Master. Don't you have class today?"

"Class?"

Is that where Reina and Nene are at? I honestly forgot I had school. After the raid of the dead group Renegades, I haven't been in class.

"Master... Did you forget?"

"Yes... But I don't think it's necessary for me to go to school. I'm already the strongest man, and I doubt I need to learn more about the system unless I want to."

Rose had nothing else to say once I said my piece. With that done, she asked what I had a plan in store.

"Then... What do you have for today's plan?"

"Just walking around with you."

"..."

There wasn't much to go off, but if we wandered around, we were bound to find something interesting.

"The last time we talked seriously, you said you would seduce me, right? Why not use this chance now?

Hearing what I said, Rose turned on her A-game. She realized this was the perfect chance to earn my affection. It's admirable how serious she was, but when I realized why she was doing it, it pained me a little.

"Do you have anywhere you want to go?"

"No. I'll follow whatever happens."

With me taking the lead, I used my ability to look around the area to check if anything interesting was about to happen.

Looking around, I found something we could do. And with Rose agreeing to whatever I wanted, I didn't need her permission to do it.

"Master... What is this place?"

Once we arrived at a destination, we arrived at a shady underground laboratory way below ground. There were scientists and guards everywhere.

"I don't know. Some experimentation ground. I found out just now and am interested in what this place is."

Rose knew that we had trespassed into some shady area. She stuck close by, ensuring she won't be harmed in any way.

"Who are you?!? What are you doing here?!?"

Walking near the entrance, a guard noticed us, and his shouting caught the attention of anyone nearby. The guards surrounded us one by one.

"We're trespassers. Ain't that obvious?"

They glared at us, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Before they could attack, I froze their kneecaps, locking them in place.

"What???"

Having to lose their mobility, their confidence in detaining us had wavered.

"If you don't mind me asking. What experiments do you guys do?"

Whether they answer my question doesn't matter. No one can stop me; if I wanted to, I could find the answer now.

"Grrr!"

What are they animals? They were growling at me like wild animals when they glared at me. I then carefully observe the features of the guards.

Under their sleeves, their skin wasn't something a human would typically have. Most people had features of an animal hidden in plain sight.

"Human genetics modification?"

Observing them, I feel the instinct of humanity within them, but these guards had some monster cells implanted. For so little power, they turned ugly. I mean, who wants a modified body of an animal that wouldn't disappear?

"Don't they look ugly? I don't think it's worth it for so little power."

What I've said has managed to piss off some of these guards. Rose looked at them curiously. I wonder what opinion she has on the matter.

"Rose, what do you think?"

"..."

She was lost in thought. I tapped her shoulders a few times before she showed any response.

"What do you think about these experiments?"

"Unless I know the full extent of the experiment, I can't say much."

What she said was true. I had all these guards bound, unsure what to do with them. The room suddenly turned red and noisy.

"Warning! Warning! An intruder has been located at quarter 201."

The robotic noise was on repeat. Hearing what the alarm says got annoying really quickly. With the alarm activated, more guards appeared and attacked upon sight.

Every time I defeated them, a wave of them would appear. I quickly got bored of them, so every other boring-looking person was either knocked out or in terrible pain.

"Rose, let's go check the place out."

"Mhm."

Currently, we are in the main lobby. With no one else able to stop us, Rose and I explored the place. The next room contained some information notes about these experiments.

"Project Rekindle"

That was an odd name for something like this. The logs of this didn't show much except for some failed experiments.

"324 Failures. All dead..."

I wonder if this was part of a legal organization. With nothing much going on, I continued exploring with Rose.

There wasn't anyone from the top brass coming up. Was this only part of a small branch? Arriving at one room, I found the test center.

As the note said earlier, all of the subjects tested were killed. This place was more lackluster than I thought. Everything we found was either useless or contained nothing.

With my mood ruined, I killed all the people working there. None of them even had the slightest idea why they were there.

"Master. Don't let this ruin it for you. We got all day for ourselves."

"You're right."

I was being comforted by Rose. Her womanly charms were working as she intended for them too. After a short break, I got it back together with some emotional support.

"Let's go. This place is making me feel depressed again."

Since I covered this whole place, I left with Rose to continue our day. I'm sure I will forget about this event, so I won't let this hinder my fun.
