I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 210 Under The Dark Cloud

After finishing his dinner, Steve was taken by Thomas to another experiment location.

Now Steve headed to a place outside the building. Precisely a wide field made of concrete.

The field was so wide that it could accommodate several dozen crew members and scientists who were present.

Besides that, there is also a lot of other experimental equipment that will be used for tonight's experiments.

Steve also saw several five-meter-high black metal pillars. The pillars were installed to form a large circle. Steve didn't know what the purpose of the pillars was.

"What are we going to do tonight?" Steve asked out of curiosity.

All of this is equipment that was previously in the lab room. Some equipment is large and heavy. Moving it here required a great deal of effort. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

If they bothered to move everything here, this experiment must be something big. That of course made Steve curious.

Thomas showed his smile from earlier again. "Tonight we will test your fighting skills."

Steve finally knew what the excited smile that had been on Thomas' face all along meant.

Steve could only take a deep breath and not say anything.

The procedure continues. Steve was ordered to enter the center of the black metal pillar formation.

Not long after that, a female came out with Conrad at her side.

Steve could see the woman's face. She is subject number 2.

'Am I going to fight her?'

Steve guessed that was what was going to happen. Subject number 2 looks better than before.

The look in her eyes was that of a normal human. Not the look in the eyes of a crazy woman like that time.

'It looks like Conrad has calmed her down.'

That is a good development according to Steve. He thought fighting a sane opponent would be better than an insane one.

You can never guess what a person who lost her mind can do.

But Conrad is indeed very amazing because he can tame a woman who lost her mind because of Magic.

He even tells Steve how to keep from being driven mad by the feelings of anxiety, anger, and desire that burned inside him.

Conrad did spend a lot of time with the Elves so he could have that kind of knowledge.

In this world, Steve thought that Conrad must be the most skilled Magic user.

Yet one puzzling question was in Steve's head. If he already has that power and knowledge, why is he still here?

It was obvious that military power would not be able to hold him back if he wanted to leave this place.

Steve withheld the question for later. Because now subject number 2 has walked into the circle of metal pillars with him.

'So I indeed have to fight against her again?'

Steve studied subject number 2. This time more closely.

She was a woman who looked to be in her late twenties, just like him.

Her hair is long and dark in color. Her height is slightly lower than his.

The woman's eyes were brown. It wasn't like what he had seen back then where her eyes were bright blue. Steve thought that it was the influence of her Magic power.

The woman suddenly turned to Steve and stared at him.

The woman's mouth trembled before she bit her lips.

"I-Im s-sorry... for that time," the woman said. Her trembling voice took Steve by surprise.

She was completely different from the vicious woman he saw back then.

"You remember everything?" Steve asked.

"I... have seen the video about that time," she said. "My name is Annie. You're Steve, right?"

"Yes." Steve nodded. "We don't need to bother introducing ourselves here, you know?"

"But even so, I'd like to introduce myself. We're in the same situation so it's better if we get to know each other." The woman named Annie smiled a faint smile.

But Steve frowned. Her words sounded strange at this moment.

How could she say that when she was just a guinea pig? But Steve chose not to say anything.

He didn't want to make this woman's mood worse.

She looked uneasy as she kept biting her lips and tugging at the hem of her clothes.

How did she end up here as a guinea pig?

She just looks like a woman who has no other place to come so she has to be willing to be a guinea pig for the government.

Well, Steve actually also had no other choice. But he was not afraid anymore and just accepted everything.

However, this woman still looked scared and unprepared.

'Whatever.'

Steve decided not to care about her. Because it will only annoy him and it is not important to him.

The scientists and crew are preparing all the things needed for tonight's experiment.

The moon was covered by thick clouds and thunder could also be heard in several corners of the sky.

Steve feels that tonight it will rain soon. And not just ordinary rain. But a rainstorm is coming.

Will this outdoor experiment go well? What about all this equipment? Did the scientists think things through well?

Those questions popped into Steve's mind the moment he noticed the dark cloud's presence.

However, it turns out that Steve wasn't the only one who noticed this.

"Looks like it's going to rain tonight. It's according to their plan," Annie said.

Steve turned to her with a confused look.

"What do you mean?" Steve asked.

"I heard that the experiment this time has something to do with rain. They seem to want to see how your powers work if it rains," Annie replied. "Your power is fire, right?" 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Finally, Steve knew what the purpose of this experiment was.

To be honest, he wanted to know too. Will the power of fire survive if it rains? Or actually, the rain won't be able to affect the fire created by Magic?

"Alright. Everything is ready!" Thomas's screaming startled Steve and Annie.

"The eleventh trial. Where we will see how your Magic power under the rainstorm will begin soon. Get ready, subjects!"
