Transmigrated With A Resolution System

A whistle could be heard down the hallway.

Taking a peek at the perpetrator, Obsidian narrowed his eyes at the female who had mysteriously joined their organization a month before.

She dressed in a traditional outfit to the rest of the members, wavy black rolled up in a messy bun held in place by two wooden hair sticks, her head raised high with a smug smile no matter where she went.

He had been secretly watching her since her arrival and had been curious enough to ask Mr. Zhao but was repeatedly turned down no matter how many times he had tried to know any time other than her name. 'Ayanami, what the hell are you up to?'

Sensing that she was followed, she looked over her shoulder and paused to get wind of a change in the breathing pattern other than hers.

Obsidian held his breath when he had known what she had planned on doing with her pale purple eyes glowing and was fixated on his position behind a pillar.

Clip!

Clop!

Her pair of zōri with green straps announced her imminent approach.

'Don't you think watching you for all this while wouldn't bring out the best in my countermeasures?' Obsidian thought with a smirk as he activated his ability.

Focusing his attention on the rock he had placed just for the exact purpose of escaping situations like the one he might be caught in.

He created a black aura around it, easily lifting it and tossing it in the opposite direction.

Ayanami took a step back, frightened by the sudden sound and her thoughts distracted and shifted in the opposite direction.

"I don't know who you are or why you have been following me, but you are messing with the wrong person!" She snarled with a warning.

Slowly she began to shapeshift into a black wolf.

Hiding his scent successfully, he carefully created several stepping stones with his black aura so he could climb to the top and hide there while she sniffs the bottom.

Clak!

Obsidian hissed the moment he made a slip in his action just enough to alert Ayanami of his location.

She soon realized that she was tricked and sprinted to where she had heard the sound. "Ha!"

​ Her face fell when she couldn't spot what or who had caused the disturbance.

Realization dawned on her the moment she focused her attention on the one place she had failed to search–above.

Obsidian watched her in the shadows, she was staring right at him, but couldn't see him due to the pitch-black cover the top gave.

He knew this wouldn't last too long as she was bound to shape-shifting again if the need arises and right then it was starting to show she was going to take that route.

The moment he spotted her arms change into wings, he knew he needed to act fast.

'Oh no you don't!' He thought with a hiss and sprang out his tentacles. Few people knew about his newly acquired skill from the raenz and he was bound to keep it that way.

If he needed the advantage, he would need to be the one on the offense. Stretching out his tentacles he wrapped them around Ayanami's neck before she could complete her transformation.

Coughing and choking, Ayanami fought to be released scratching at the tentacle.

Obsidian hissed to the pain he felt from the slash she made on the tentacle, but was determined to knock her unconscious before releasing her–it was the only way for him to safely leave and be more conscious of his action in case of next time.

Cough!

Cough!

She felt her breath get snuffed out and her vision slowly blurring before her eyes. "I... will... get... you somed–"

Obsidian let out a sigh of relief at her limp body. Releasing his grip around her throat, he allowed her to drop to the ground with a thud.

Dropping to the ground, he did a barrel roll and got back to his feet with a light jump.

As he walked toward her, he used his leg to push her so she lay on her back. Her disheveled hair scattered all around her and the hair sticks rolled away.

"As slippery as a snake, you are." Obsidian clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Squatting so he could get a better look at her, he placed his finger under her nostrils to be sure she was still breathing. When he felt an exhale from her, he took a step back.

'You're up to something, and the fact that you're associated with Zephyr and Mr. Zhao makes it a whole lot more disturbing.' He looked around to ascertain what he would do next.

She was laying on the floor with no one to help her at the moment, he had the opportunity to kill her but was curious enough to find out why she had ventured into the inner chambers–this place was highly prohibited even for her rank in the organization.

Grabbing a hold of her face, he turned it to the other side and observed as her earrings swayed. The one thing that had caught his attention was the pendant that slipped out of her clothing.

Grabbing a hold of the snake head pendant, he stared into the glinting onyx eyes. 'So you have been recruited into this weird secret group going on here?!'

Closing his eyes, he channeled a bit of his aura specifically into the eyes. It was the perfect place for him to watch what she was up to when he wanted to. 'Be my eyes and ears, little one.'

Releasing his grip on the pendant, he carefully put it back where it was. 'If you keep this up, you will meet a bad end.'

Walking away, he looked over his shoulder at Ayanami and mumbled under his breath, "do not be too easy for an open attack."

–––––––––––

After 20 mins,

Ayanami's body twitched and jolted awake with a cough. Her hands shot to her neck as she took in a huge gulp of air.

Her chest heaved and quickly searched for her pendant. When she was able to feel its distinctive pattern, her mind calmed and she laid back on the floor.

Shape shifting her hand into that of a bear, she hit the floor in rage. 'Whoever is watching me knows about my movements.'

She pushed herself up and reverted her hand to how it was. Closing her eyes, she protracted cat ears so she could listen to any residual movements. There was no way to determine if she was left to fend for herself or simply be watched again.

When it was confirmed that there was no one within a 5-meter radius from her, she took steps back and back against the wall.

'I can't carry out the task I was given for now.' She cried in her thoughts, realizing she was going to get a scolding from Mr. Zhao.

After the death of Aer, she had become a replacement for her senior and had been specifically taken under the wing of Mr. Zhao.

Biting down on her bottom lip, she placed her hand over her chest and shook in fear. 'What if the person who had been following me is a subordinate of the leader of this organization?'

Her eyes doubled in size at the thought and also trying to figure out who had that sort of tentacle-like ability.

Careful about her steps, she shapeshifted into a snake and slithered away in search of Mr. Zhao.

–––––––––––

In room Apex,

Obsidian had just gotten to the door of his room and had wanted to voice his command to open it when his mouth hung open as he turned to his left to the person who was watching him.

"It's about time you noticed my presence, Sid."

Obsidian closed his mouth and replaced it with a grin. "Mentor! How are you?" He asked and sweatdropped.

He couldn't still get out the fact that Nix was a bigger beast than he was. The demeaning aura he gave off made him whimper and pull back his ears as he tucked his tail in between his legs.

Nix raised a brow at the difference in Obsidian's attitude towards him. "Don't tell me I scared you?"

Obsidian shook his head, hoping not to spike up suspicion. He tried to calm his racing heart.

"I owned a canine once and what your body is showing tells a different story than the one you're currently displaying." He pointed especially to Obsidian's flattened ears and tucked tail.

Creating a telekinetic barrier around them, he nodded towards Obsidian. "You can speak freely, no one can hear outside this barrier so you don't have to worry."

Obsidian looked around them, it looked more like how it was normally there was no way of telling there was any barrier.

Lightly touching it, a ripple effect made his hand bounce back. "As expected." He hissed and retracted his hands.

Nix folded his arms and waited for Obsidian to let out what was bothering him. "We don't have all day."
