After a long journey in a black car belonging to those strange individuals, Axel was taken to headquarters. But before entering, Agent Frank gave him some more information about them:
"I'm the person in charge of this department. The soldiers accompanying me came as a precaution, although we all know that our weapons have little effect on extra-dimensional monsters. The two young men who dressed a little more casually and normally than us are hunters, just like you will be. Their names are Chris and Ander, A-rank hunters."
Upon entering, he found himself in a huge building. Inside, he could only see laboratories full of scientists pacing back and forth. In the middle of it all, there was a huge hallway, so long it seemed a kilometer away, yet everything was within that building.
"Let's go to my office," Frank invited him.
The office's classroom was on par with any office in a multi-million dollar company. In short, Axel could tell that these people were very powerful and wealthy.
"Nice office," the boy was amazed.
"Yes, that's right... That's what you get when you're financed by the country's own government."
Axel sat in the chair in front of the desk while the man sat in the office chair. As he twirled the chair around in a childish and unprofessional manner, Axel asked:
"So... I'm a hunter now?"
"Indeed," Frank stated. "But you'll have to show us your powers later, since we didn't see them; we arrived a little late. We had been tipped off by some citizens who reported the sighting of a strange creature in the area shortly before the incident."
"I don't really know how to do it," Axel lamented. "I just remember getting really angry, and concentrating my anger in my fist, something like energy formed. Deep down inside, from that moment on, I felt invincible... As if I could deal with any creature in the world."
The man, listening carefully to the boy's words, stood up from his chair and proceeded to leave the classroom.
"Come with me," he invited Axel.
Walking, allowing himself to be led by Frank, he led him to a huge, empty classroom. The walls were white, and a transparent glass window appeared to protect another classroom next door. It was like a testing or training space, where the people on the other side supervised everything.
"Very well... Now I'll go to the next room to observe," the man told him.
As soon as he left, enormous doors opened in the walls. From them emerged two creatures almost as ferocious as the one Axel had defeated in the park. The two creatures had the same appearance: unpleasant-looking orcs with very large sharp canine teeth, fearsome gazes, their eyes completely red, and dark brown skin. They looked like creatures Axel had only seen in movies until then.
"This is where your test begins," Axel heard Frank's voice coming from one of the speakers located in each corner of that enormous classroom.
