A couple of minutes later;
Qridus Garcia reached the place in the town of Sliya, nearby Oakley's residence, and he found his descendant just blankly staring into space.
As Qridus landed before him, Azzy returned from his thoughts and greeted him.
The frail-looking old man nodded while letting out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, you are completely fine. What happened here, earlier?" He asked.
Azzy told him everything from how they crashed into the enemy to the point where the guardian god sends him away. He didn't tell what happened afterward.
As a result, Qridus thought that the guardian god saved Azzy and proceeded to scold the kid for being reckless.
Azzy wanted to reply that he was confident about taking on that Supreme realm expert if he goes all out including the usage of the cosmic gems. However, he managed to swallow down those words at the last second and then apologized to his ancestor for making him worry.
Later that night, at Affea Mansion;
While everyone else in the Aclein City was sleeping peacefully, Azzy was sitting at the window and staring at the dark sky. He appeared to be lost in thoughts.
The Reaper was patient for some time before he broke the silence, "What is there to think? Your future will be limitless under his guidance. And there is no one in the universe that will be able to harm you. After all, even the true gods will think twice before trying to mess with him, although strangely it was them who collectively gave him the power to defeat the devil."
"But, nothing comes for free," commented Azzy as he came out of his thoughts. He further added that he might have to lose his freedom in the process.
In response, the Reaper immediately reminded Azzy that the guardian god will have the access to all the places in the universe, including the celestial realm.
As soon as Azzy heard those words, the image of Claire popped up in his head and he immediately turned 180 degrees from his earlier stance. "I'll become his disciple but only after I pay my debt to my late master with my own hands."
"Well, you still have time left to bring justice to Barton Everglade," replied the Reaper as if he was confident that a few days are enough to finish the job.
The next day;
"Okay, grandpa. I'm leaving. Take care of yourself." "Be careful on your way, Azzy"
Azzy bid goodbye to Oakley Night as he was leaving for WAMO's HQ.
With the task of finishing his training period and becoming an official, Azzy left for WAMO's HQ.
As he was traveling through portal points, it only took him around 30-40 minutes to reach the headquarters.
"Okay, Azzy. You are here. You know what to do…"
Taking a deep breath, Azzy proceeded to walk toward the gate.
Thinking that he is a visitor, the guard stopped him and sternly informed him that the visitor's entryway is from the west gate.
"West gate?"
Azzy was perplexed for a moment. He never heard of such an entrance before. In his mind, there is only one entrance to the HQ. Did the organization make a new entrance at some point during the past 27 years? He wondered.
However, as he wasn't here to waste time on such trivial things, he directly showed his ID card, which has his name, birth date, and position as a tier-3 cadet.
This time, it was the security guards' turn to get surprised. The guard looked Azzy up and down and asked whether the ID card is really his.
In response, Azzy simply told him to verify its authenticity.
The guard then walked inside and interrupted a middle-aged fellow who was currently on a video call with a small kid. "Captain, there's a teenager outside. He…"
The middle-aged fellow put down his smartphone and looked at him with displeasure clearly written on his face. He scolded the subordinate, "Can't you see I'm on a phone call with my daughter? What is it?"
The guard then handed the ID card to him, "He looks like a teenager and doesn't have any soul energy but…"
"Hmm…" The captain looked at the ID card, which has silver markings around the corner with the insignia of a tiger. "White tiger corps?"
The captain then disconnected the video call and made a call to a different number.
"Hello?" A sweet voice responded as the call was lifted in two rings.
"Hello, this is Captain Meyer. Can you look into the database and see if a person named Azrael in the list? He is a tier-3 cadet and his DOB is 18th June, 1980. And he was registered in the disbanded White Tiger Corps." The captain enquired about Azzy's identity.
"Okay, give me a second…" replied the receptionist. The captain heard several clicks, perhaps the keyboard buttons and mouse clicks. He waited in patience.
After about ten seconds, the receptionist gave a shocking reply, "Captain Meyer, his data is restricted by authorities. You need level-5 access to acquire the information."
"Level-5?" The captain was stunned for a moment. He thought, "Only President Cornelius, Commander Kruger, and Vice President Ramiel have such access. Except for the members of Zero Squad, no individual has such a privilege. Who is this fellow?"
After disconnecting the call, he rushed outside immediately to take a look at Azzy who looked unaged compared to the picture on the ID card, which was supposed to be from 27 years ago.
Believing that Azzy is above his realm and is extremely talented to suppress his soul realm to the stage of erasing his soul energy, the captain apologized for making him wait and personally escorted him to the President's office.
Not to mention, there was also this faint suspicion about Azzy forging an ID card. He wouldn't want to take chances and get punished later. But, if it is true, then, Azzy was a VIP, and mistreating him will also earn him punishment.
This is the reason he went along with Azzy.
After confirming that the location of the President's office hasn't changed in the past 27 years, Azzy confidently walked in the direction he went last time. Captain Meyer quietly followed him.
The more he spent time following Azzy, the more he started believing that this teenager is the real deal.
However, surprisingly even the organization's dwarf president also failed to recognize Azzy as they stepped inside the office. The supreme realm expert treated Azzy as if he met him for the first time.
Captain Meyer apologized to the president and then gave him Azzy's ID followed by informing him about level-5 restricted access to Azzy's information.
President Cornelious got surprised for a second and then he took a close look at the ID card. Suddenly, his facial expression changed and he abruptly raised his head, "You are Azrael, the winner of the 1994's World league, both senior and junior champions?"
Azzy raised his hand in response without saying yes or no. A soul card appeared in his palm and he slowly said, "Come out, Vajra."
In the next instant, as the black lightning wolf jumped out of the soul card and landed on the floor, Azzy looked at the president and said, "I can showcase my powers to prove my identity, Mr. President."
Cornelius' face brightened in realization, "Indeed..."
However, he readily didn't accept Azzy's identity, somehow feeling that Azzy probably wanted to show off his current strength.
As a result, he accepted the challenge after a bit of thought, "Follow me to the sparring chamber, young man."
