From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 506 The group is Together

Gojaro nodded as they fully solidified, continuing their conversation as if they hadn't just teleported halfway around the world. "I'm also not sure how she managed to crack it. She said the Angelics who made the crystals could easily break them, so she threw it, hoping for the best."

"How would she even—" Jade began, but Gojaro cut her off.

"I don't know," he said, his tone a bit sharper than before. "There are things I'm not privy to. Sometimes, it's better not to pry."

Jade nodded, processing his words before shifting the conversation. "I see. And this idea for eight solidified divisions—why didn't we have something that straightforward from the start?"

Gojaro sighed, his expression growing a bit more serious. "Well, in the line of work we do, it's common for people to die often. This might come as a surprise, or maybe not, but just because the crystal is broken doesn't mean everyone will gain these great powers like in those shows you watch."

Jade placed her hand on her chin, deep in thought. "Why is that? Also, the Director mentioned something about me getting back into training soon, but he sounded annoyed when he said it, almost like he was scolding me."

"Firstly, it's because not everyone is born with the ability to handle it," Gojaro explained. "Some people might only be born with one ability, like creating fire in their hand, which is one of the more common things we see. Others, like myself, can manifest multiple abilities and even combine them. But you already know most of that."

Jade nodded again, still contemplating everything.

"But there are also some people with no 'Talent,' as we call it, for energy manipulation or using abilities," Gojaro added, his tone steady.

Jade's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, wow. I have to ask—how can you even tell that?"

The girl tightened her grip on Gojaro's leg as he responded, "Well, she's been clinging to me ever since the event occurred. I suppose I'm safer than an orphanage right now, and with no monsters showing up yet, it's fine, I suppose."

Jade knelt down to the girl's level, offering a gentle smile. "Oh, well, what's her name?"

Gojaro shook his head slightly. "She says she doesn't remember her name, so I've just been calling her Snow for a while since her hair reminds me of snow."

Jade smiled warmly at the girl. "I see. Well, it's nice to meet you, Snow." The girl looked up at Jade with wide, curious eyes but stayed close to Gojaro, clearly feeling safe by his side.

With that, Jade turned her attention to Rosa,

Rosa fidgeted with her suit, tugging at the collar with a slight grimace. "I have to say, this suit is suffocating," she muttered, though there was a hint of amusement in her voice. "But it's nice, in a way. Makes me feel... important."

"You do look important," Jade replied with a reassuring smile. "And you pull it off better than most."

Rosa's ears twitched as she grinned, her discomfort forgotten for a moment. "Thanks, Jade. It's not every day I get to wear something like this."

Oscar, adjusting his tie, nodded in agreement. "We all clean up pretty well," he said, his tone light, though his eyes carried the weight of their shared experiences.

Tyree, rubbing the back of his neck, stepped forward, his expression a mix of relief and guilt. "I'm glad you're doing better, Jade," he said sincerely. "I'm sorry I wasn't more useful during the whole event."

Jade shook her head, offering him a gentle smile. "That's fine, Tyree. I'm sure you saved many people that day. The blood we all spilled ensured others would continue to live long lives. That's what matters."
