Chapter 12
Alex followed in footsteps of future Arc where he would change his appearance in join they City hunter team.
Alex made his trip to the hunter association tower and saw that it is filled with a lot of people having some sort of files in their hands which is probably resume.
"This is filled like some sort of government job is available for everyone to apply for." Alex said to himself.
He walked inside finally to the reception with a hawk mask on his face.
"Are you new here, because I hav never seen seen you here before?" Receptionist was a lady with beaming smile on her face like he is enthusiastic about her job.
But Alex knew that it is just pretence because reception job require poeple to be pleasing for other eyes which involve good appearance, polite tone and beaming smile.
"I want to join the city hunter squad, can you point me in the direction of it? I want to try my luck at joining the city team." Alex asked with tone that had no emotion in it.
"Sorry, but city hunter squad is not hiring at the moment." Receptionist said in the polite tone.
So, they will start their hiring later when Arc is gonna enter the squad. That's quite a plot to be written by writer but I need to join the squad right now.
"I am special recruitment case. Please do point me in that DIRECTION ." Alex gave the emphasis on the word 'direction'.
Receptionist hesitated a little and then said, "it's in that direction."
She pointed out the direction toward a place which is filled with a lot of people.
Alex walked into that crowd and called his other clones that were now there outside the tower.
He was intending to use his this talent to join in the City hunter team and he can call back his clones when he feel that someone have tried to get to know his identity through that clones.
Those clones walked with little distance in between each other which were also in some weird appearance.
Alex discovered that after merging the element with himself, he can control the appearance of clone to some extent which is limited to cloths and stuff.
Alex saw a girl with short height siting on a bench while sending all people back trying to say that they want to join with just one line, "We are not recruiting, and if you are lightining element user than your are more than happy to join us."
Last part of the line was enough to discourage everyone because none of them were lucky enough to have this most praised lightning element.
Almost all of the lightning element users are recruited by the big organizations or rich family to serve them. And City hunter squad can't afford to pay the similar amount to those people as those high profile recruiting oppositions.
"Hello Ms, I would like to apply for.." Alex tried to gain the attention of.
"Sorry, we are not recruiting and if you are a…" that girl was fiddling with her hands and didn't even looked up to see who this guy was.
"Miss, we want to apply for recruiting as well." Alex used his other three clones to say these words in unison.
This got some attention from her as she looked up to see four people looking at her.
"I see you all want to join but as I just said we not recruiting unless you are unless you are a lightning user." That girl was leaving her ground and said with sarcasm dropping in her each word.
"I think you might want to reconsider that because I can hold my own against anything even your famous captain." Alex said this to gaslight this girl into calling the captain and consider him for a little while.
"You really think that, I think you should try something else instead of trying to anger me. It would not work here." Girl had a disgusted sneer on her face.
"You are a earth element user or water element user. Wait, I think you are later, and your captain in fire element user." Knowing the information is always useful and Arc was using it to his advantage in every scenario.
"Most people in the tower already know that. What else do you want to try." Girl wasn't budging at all.
"Okay, I accept defeat. Bring me your captain and let him evaluate me if they think I am not good enough then I will give your squad a psychic equipment." Alex changed his approach when he saw that his previous approach is not working.
"Oh! Okay, but you are in hunter tower so you wouldn't be able to escape the words you have just said." Girl looked at first but then her eyes had the money signs glowing in her eyes when she agreed to it.
She quickly used her phone to message her captain who came in matter of few minutes.
"You really believe that this kid have anything, you are just too naive." Captain was a burly man with Unusual temper.
He looked at Alex and laughed along with pressing his shoulder with strong hand strength.
What he didn't realize was that it was just one of his clone.
Alex stopped the energy being supplied to this clone and then it went boom in smoke and captain lost his balance and was about to fall when he gained barely gained his balance back.
Just this little was enough to bring the funny aura of captain to serious and guarded person.
"What was that?" He said mumbling.
"One of my many powers if you want to know it so much." Real Alex spoke this time.
"Is that caused by use of some special psychic equipment?" Captain said after waiting a little and considering the meaning behind the words of Alex.
"No, it is my element. I am special and want to talk with you in screen because I am here with special mission that I can only discuss with special people listed on that mission." Alex looked at that girl when saying this, because he wanted to indicate to captain to sent this girl away before he can talk further.
