Screams of antagonizing pain echoed throughout the training room; however, thanks to its design for containing all the noise inside so that other people won't get disturbed while a person is training inside and the fact that the security caras were disabled by Natasha herself for the sake of her trap going unnoticed by the officials, there was virtually no one who had any idea about what happening inside one of the special class training rooms.
Within the room, the scene was pretty much the sa but that couldn't be said about Natasha whose entire body was covered in sweat while her body was almost pale white with all of her veins clearly visible underneath her skin.
"I'm going to ask you again, what information do you have," Mako shouted as his eyes continued to glow green with his thumb still deep inside Natasha's arm.
Mako was never a fan of the poison ability even though it sounded cool on paper. Comic books and cartoons would always portray villains that had so kind of Poison ability to be able to spray and lt anything and critically poison the hero; however, in real life that was not the case as that was a separate ability called the Acid Manipulation ability and was quite rare.
The poison ability wasn't sothing that could be manifested outside the body at least not at the lower levels. It was purely a supportive ability that could help increase the damage on weapons that were laced with the poison and could also inflict different status effects based on the nature of the poison while also offering resistance to the user from other poisons.
It was a very cool and complex ability that was definitely underrated and right now Mako had pulled a page out of Victor Voss's playbook and had been injecting Natasha with a modified version of the poison that he had previously neutralized from Angela's body after Victor had stabbed her.
The original poison was ant to kill a person up to ALPHA rank which ant that it was definitely a very strong poison.
One perk of the poison ability was that similar to how there were variants of other abilities like the Red Fire and Blue Lightning, a Poison ability user could learn to create various different kinds of poisons and their antidotes within their body after they had enough exposure to that specific poison.
This technique was, of course, an advanced one and Mako being only a level 2 had only the slightest idea on how to actually do this; however, since he had unlocked the first level of his mutant gene, Mako's poison ability level was temporarily augnted to a level close to level 5 along with the all the information that a level 5 Poison ability user would have.
When Mako was neutralizing the poison inside Angela's body, the wild poison aura that was freely roaming in his entire body was analyzing and understanding the poison and adding it to its type of mory.
Normally since Mako was only a level 2, he didn't know how to create the poison by himself, but now that his mutant gene had been reactivated, he had access to that information and also the knowledge on how to modify it.
Mako changed the nature of the poison from intending to kill to intending to cause the most amount of pain inside the body as it mainly attacked the red blood cells and the nervous system of the body.
He then began pumping this modified poison into Natasha's bloodstream directly, pausing only montarily to pump so antidote as well so that Natasha wouldn't die as the poison was still quite strong.
Natasha continued to scream out in pain and agony, the smug look on her face completely wiped away and now replaced with a look of fear and horror as she watched Mako continuously hold onto her weakening arm with as cold a look as possible.
It was ironic watching the person who used fear to torture and corrupt so many shake in absolute fear and Mako enjoyed every mont of it.
Mako had been slowly letting go of his naive nature over ti as he had been reminded ti and ti again how others would weaponize his empathy and rcy to their advantage; however, he did so without throwing away his morals as he was still better than them and so as soon as Natasha cracked and yelled out in desperation that she would tell Mako everything, a wave of coolness washed down her body as Mako instantly began to neutralize the poison.
Since this ti, the poison was created by Mako, it followed Mako's will and imdiately neutralized itself on his command without any extra effort.
Natasha breathed a sigh of relief as the burning sensation inside her body finally dissipated, but she was still extrely weak and she knew that she wouldn't be able to do anything to Mako in her current state.
Mako removed his thumb from Natasha's hand and allowed her to fall completely to the ground, and then with a nacing look he stared at the trembling body of Natasha wriggling around on the floor.
"Speak," Mako said coldly.
"It was all just a trap. I wanted revenge for what you did to Mikhail during the recruitnt test. You defeated my boyfriend and sent him back HIM! I wanted to make you pay!" Natasha yelled out in anger while crying her eyes out from the amount of torture she had endured for the past 10 minutes.
However, Mako felt no sympathy toward her knowing that she had tortured who knows how many people for hours on end and had reveled in every mont of doing so, this was only a small payback in Mako's book.
"After the test was over, I was looking for any opportunity to try and get my revenge and that was why I didn't join your boy band! I wanted to take you out but I was too weak then and so I did nothing but train to get stronger,"
"He he he... and then I heard that you losers had failed your very first mission and were being punished which made so... so happy but later on I found out that you were all on room arrest, and nobody could co close to you which made my blood boil."
"Do you have any idea how hard it was for to sit in base, knowing that you were just a few buildings away and not be able to take you down in any way!"
Natasha slowly beca more and more emotional as now she wasn't speaking because of the pain but rather from the anger that consud her heart. She didn't care much and just spoke her mind in front of Mako, but Mako still remained emotionless from the outside giving no reaction to Natasha who continued to blab on and on.
"So as soon as we arrived in military school, I looked for the first opportunity to isolate you and finally get my revenge, but you sohow managed to beat my ability again!" Natasha scread with frustration as she finished her story, taking deep breaths as if she had spoken her mind all in one breath.
There was a mont of silence between the two of them as Natasha remained on the ground, slowly regaining strength while Mako stood coldly in front of her.
Mako stared into Natasha's desperate eyes as he analyzed her story with a look of uncertainty.
"How did Haruto find my dorm room so quickly and what was the information that he promised you would share if I had co?" Mako asked Natasha.
Natasha hesitated for a second as she thought of a response," I used my ability on many weak advanced class cadets for information as I can review their most recent mories and one of them was your neighbor who saw you leave for your classes in the morning and that's how I learned about your dorm room number,"
"Secondly, I didn't tell Haruto to say anything like that, I just ordered him to lure you back here by any ans necessary, and he did just that!" Natasha replied.
'Bullsh*t!' Mako thought in his mind as this was the most absurd lie he had ever heard.
He imdiately realized that even after going through so much pain and agony, Natasha still had the strength to lie, and to lie with such confidence was quite impressive. It was clear to Mako that he wouldn't be able to get any real information out of Natasha and ti was running out for him as he couldn't maintain his mutant gene for too long.
He would be considerably weekend after the ti limit of his mutant gene expired and he didn't want to take any chances with Natasha, thinking that her weak and pitiful persona could also be fake and she might have sothing else up her sleeve.
However, he was sure one thing and that was that he didn't buy this story for a single second.
