By the time Yato's "criminal" group was discovered, Sakuna had already infiltrated the Atlas Military although that did come with some small annoyances.
It was scary easy to get in; all it took was some convincing-looking documents to fool the recruiters.
"Ren, do you know how hard it is to hide your strength constantly?" Sakuna asked in an annoyed tone. The fact that he had to go through what he considered elementary school training every day for a year was humiliating, utterly humiliating.
"no not really since almost everything i did in terms of fighting was for my life"they grey figure wasn't at all affected by his subordinate's grievances.
"Well just know it's hard," sukuna basically spotted out at Yato who then rolled his red eyes and opened his mouth to respond.
"Yeah, it's only hard because your not really all there" sakuna was smart but also is clinically unhinged and unfiltered.
"So how's the government here?" He asked, hoping to get some information about the war machine here. This place could have been authoritarian like Nazi Germany or Stalinist Soviet Union or democratic like most modern Earth governments for all he knew.
"Basically modern day Britain with some American values when it comes to military its an oligarchy as well" yato breathed a sigh of relief it wasn't an authoritarian or facist nightmare which took a lot of the potential work load of the team.
"so we can chill here" yato incorrectly assumed nothing could ever be that easy nothing.
"nope its an unflitered capitalist heaven for some so we still have to deal with sweat shops and monopolies also some racism" sukuna never made anything easy ever.
"why is there always problems where ever i go"
"so why is your hair so long" blake asked her new leader she noticed that the front bang covering her eye never moved.
"oh it reminds me of my mom she died a long time ago" Ruby said with a heavy heart. She felt guilty for playing the "parent is dead" card to get out of the conversation, but the memories of her mother flooded her mind, and she couldn't help but feel emotional some tears flowed down not a torrent but a sprinkle.
"oh im sorry i didn't mean to bring up any bad memories" ruby quickly and effectively stopped the apology.
"No, no, no, it's fine; it made me think back to all the happy times." she knew that eventually she would have to reveal the blessing she's been given by yato on that faithful day.
'Maybe after me and Weiss make up, our team will be stronger than ever,' Ruby thought as she and Blake walked away.
"this hacker has made me and my rival look like an ant in a god damn anthill" Arthur complained to none one in particular.
He lost his inside connections inside Beacon and Atlas as a whole and he knew it wasn't Jimmy that fool could be paranoid at times but he had no reason to suspect anything was wrong with his cyber security because he's just patched and secured it just a week ago but this hacker added more reinforcement.
"Damn it Cinder is going to take half my funds if this continues," Arthur said as he looked at the screen. He never once worried about the threat of death because he was too valuable to Salem for them to kill him. All he worried about was his personal projects.
He sat twirling his mustache in annoyance; it wouldn't be long before either Mercury or Emerald would burst into the room to check on him, and if he didn't make any progress, it would come with the major inconvenience of being threatened in all sorts of ways.
something dawned on Arthur this dammed white hat must have left a major opening atlas databases are so incompetently secured that even if someone as competent as him were to fix there still be major weakness.
"I've spent so long trying to penetrate the strong point and not enough looking for the weak points that were left," he looked at the screen and spent the rest of the night looking for vulnerabilities.
"this idiot did you think I didn't think of that" Ellie knew this idiot trying his hardest to spy had talent but it was being utterly wasted.
the screen was filled with notifications warning her of the current infiltratation attempt "I'm going to let him and leave little bit of a bug on his device"she smiled deviously the dumbass probably thought that finally
he had gotten access to the system like the idiot he was fell for the trap.
"the important shit is gone all I'm here for is you" the data set was utterly useless it was all outdated by a month or two now atlas and by association beacon it's self had gotten a new system.
"now it's time to see who works for I'm going to leave this here for a month or two might be the break in case we need" Grimm were an unnatural creation they all knew it they just didn't know where to start
and this was it.
