I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Erend took a deep breath. 'I need to look as calm as possible.'

"Yes. I will try to answer honestly," Erend said.

"Not trying," General Lennard suddenly replied. "But you do have to tell the truth."

"Yes. That's what I mean, General."

General Lennard nodded his head.

After that, he turned toward his daughter who nodded. It was as if it was a permit for the daughter to continue the question.

"Very well, Sgt. Drake. I will ask from the very start. Please explain to us how you came to that ship," Major Lennard said.

"I came by helicopter with the other members."

Erend started to explain in detail about everything he went through to get to the cargo ship.

Of course, he wouldn't say how the soldiers treated him and Billy. It will only raise more questions.

"So everything was going normal until you and the other soldiers got on the ship?" asked the Major.

Erend nodded. "Yes."

"Then after that, what happened?" General Lennard asked then leaned forward.

His piercing gaze seemed to want to split Erend's head and open his brain.

That way he can retrieve the real memory of what happened that time.

"The ship was so quiet. There was nobody on board who was supposed to be acting as pirates and hostages as the scenario had planned."

Erend answered in a confident and even tone.

"Then a report came from the soldiers who were on the boat," Erend continued.

"The soldier said that he saw someone from the ship's window. That person is in charge of being a pirate."

"But he looks suspicious and under the influence of some kind of drugs. So, Major Ronder ordered the soldiers on the boat to shoot at the window. With a paint bullet."

Major Lennard recorded every explanation of Erend on her laptop. A loud typing sound accompanied every word that came out of Erend's mouth.

"Then?" asked the Major with her eyes still glued to her laptop monitor.

Erend continued his explanation until the man shot Major Ronder with a shotgun.

Then the infected soldiers came out of the space-time tear.

Then, the great chaos came all of a sudden. And escalated quickly into bloodshed that can not be stopped.

Erend said that he fainted at some point in the middle of the chaos.

Erend nodded briefly.

"Yes. I passed out in the middle of the container so maybe they forgot about me. Or thought I was dead. I feel very lucky."

Erend breathed a sigh of relief. As if he really felt grateful to be safe from the disaster that claimed the lives of those young soldiers.

Major Lennard and her father looked at Erend with the same piercing eyes.

And the questions that crossed their heads seemed to be the same.

They both felt that they were still unsure of Erend's answer.

However, they have no evidence to disprove his words because there is no data that they can get from the satellite.

Both of them weren't sure about Erend's answer. But that doesn't mean that they suspect Erend as a suspect.

"We will ask you a few more questions. After that, you may leave," Major Lennard said.

Major Lennard gave another question to Erend while the General just stared at Erend in silence.

The General remained silent for the rest of the session.

He just listened to every answer Erend gave and paid attention to how Erend's attitude when he said his answer.

"All right, Sergeant. You may leave now. We will question the next person," said Major Lennard.

Erend then asked to come out. He was grateful that the interrogation ended fairly quickly.

Erend closed the door politely and then walked away while letting out a long, audible breath.

"Good morning, Sergeant."

A familiar voice greeted him. Erend looked up and saw James and Liam walking together toward him.

They already look healthier than before.

"You guys can stand up straight again?" Erend asked.

"Ah, yeah. We're feeling much better after being treated. Even though my ribs are still a little hurt, I was able to come in for questioning," James said.

"Me too. The wound on my leg looks like it was overnight. Haha." Liam follows. "Excuse us first, Sergeant."

James and Liam walk towards the interrogation room. James went in first while Liam waited in a chair by the door.

Erend stared at them for a few seconds. before finally deciding to walk away.

'They look... odd.'

Erend had felt something from the two of them. But it was just a faint feeling that Erend just ignored in the end.

After thinking about Saeldir's words all night, Aurdis finally decided to meet Aerchon.

Her brother had been silent in his room for a long time. She hopes he doesn't kill himself inside.

"Hh...." Aurdis sighed as she stared at the door of her brother's room.

No matter how much she hates her brother, Aurdis still can't let her heart go.

Aerchon, who was hurt after being betrayed by someone he trusted at that time, was the first time Aurdis saw his sad face.

"(Maybe he'll kill himself.)"

Aurdis knocked on Aerchon's door.

*Knocks*

*Knocks*

*Knocks*

She knocked on it softly. But no answer came. As she had expected.

"(Aerchon!)" Aurdis said. "(We need to talk.)"

Aurdis didn't know what her brother was doing in the room and made him rarely come out.

But considering what happened before this, Aurdis guessed that it was a bad thing.

Aurdis realized that there was Magic cast on this door to block anyone from entering. But for some reason, Aurdis was able to touch this door.

It meant that Aerchon didn't mind if she came in.

So, Aurdis pushed open the door. As soon as the door opened, Aurdis flinched as she felt an immense Magic pressure.

She saw Aerchon sitting cross-legged on his bed. He closed his eyes.

A silvery light enveloped Aerchon. And his sword - Arrondite - floated around him.
