(???'s POV-third person)

*Krrrck* *tck* *tap* *tap* *tap*

The sounds of multiple footsteps reverberates throughout an clean, endlessly white corridor. Along with the footsteps, hushed voices follow along. "Sir... I've received reports.." "The main team.." "Success..." The voices revealed to be strangers all with varying appearances, the only similarity was that they were wearing clean white lab coats. Suddenly, one pair of footsteps stopped leading to the rest following aswell. "Good... Just send these in to my office, I'll send the results to the higher ups to get consent for further analysis. You've all done well, you may all return to your areas." A voice responded stoically. Not turning their back to see the other workers retreat to their places.

The owner of the voice was none other than, the head researcher of gates, Korben Aldwin. A 6'0 ft tanned man with dark messy undercut hair. He had high cheekbones with hooded eyes hiding a bit of the bright gradient sea-blue eyes and two piercings on one ear and one on the other. He had a slim yet muscular trapezoid body shape. He wore a white lab coat with a dark grey turtleneck and black leggings with black boots.

*Taptaptaptaptaptaptap*

Suddenly, the sounds of hurried footsteps echoed in the same corridor as Korben. "SIR, *gasp* SIR! (⁠;⁠ŏ∆ŏ⁠)" "Shout louder, I don't think the astronauts on the moon heard you properly..." Korben sarcastically mumbled gritting his teeth at the interruption of the corridor's silence. "Well? What is it that made you shout as if you were a burning rat, Mr.Laloy?" He added with irritation fixating his glare on the tired man.

The panicked worker, who is revealed to be Mr.Laloy, sweated buckets through his dark red button-up and black tie as if he ran a marathon. His knees were slightly bent with his hands resting on the beige-coloured jeans. He had short, drenched, light yellow hair with dark strands at the roots. His wavy hair did nothing to hide beautiful brown eyes that had a tint of red.

"-And where is your lab coat? As much as this part of the facility is nowhere near the labs, you must always wear your lab coat." At that, Laloy uncontrollably blushed as red as a cherry. He was never the careless type but he had forgotten about it because of a surprising piece of information he received from his computer. "OH- uh- I-I forgot about it..." Laloy stammered out. "...ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ..."

Noticing his superior's look of disappointment, he quickly explained "I forgot it because I have received a report on a sudden mana outburst coming from England- more specifically, Surrey, Privet Drive and well I thought-" *sigh* hearing a sigh Laloy immediately shut up. "You came running all the way here just to tell me about a mana outburst? You should've told the prevention team instead... (⁠눈⁠‸⁠눈⁠)" He replied tiredly, already done with his junior and thinking of other things "I know sir, it this one is different than any other! Instead of mana building up by itself- it was caused by a person! Not just any person but by someone who could be a potential Hunter!"

At that, Korben placed all his attention on the situation. A mana outburst caused by a hunter? Very rare indeed, any outburst caused by a hunter shows the great potential of the power they have or will have in the future- Korben has heard a lot about these outburst caused by hunters, he knew they become very  strong, but a potential Hunter? He's never heard of someone getting an outburst before they become an official hunter...

"I see... Get your team to the main research lab, I want you to choose 4 people to find where exactly this potential Hunter lives, and I want a group of two from your team to look into their background, personality, and any thing else, if it's too hard you may get another person to work alongside them. We need to get to them before our blasted rivals get their dirty hands on them. If there are any problems you will find me in my personal lab downstairs, I need that report file pronto." Korben replied, walking swiftly towards the direction of his lab not looking as all his focus is hogged by the surprise situation that may make a change on their research all together...




A/n: second chapter done, if there are any mistakes I made, I'll appreciate it if you can tell me it in the comments, also here's a challenge for you. The names I created all have meanings. What do they mean? If you're not sure I'll show you the names I wrote down:

-Korben Aldwin
-Mr.Laloy
-Йомак De întunericul

I'll give you a hint:
Korben and Laloy are scrambled words
