Stan knew that there was more to what it meant by that and he believed it would explain further without being asked to do so, thus he waited for it to continue. Just as he had believed, the system continued, but this time it was with an instruction.[It is high time you join the others in the shelter.]“Not until we are done with our talk.” Stan proved stubborn and the system had no option other than to do as he has said after all, he would be the one to surfer the punishment of not obeying it immediately.[I can not possess up to two hosts on any planet, therefore once you are killed, then it is the end of my existence here on Earth as the planet will fall or humans will have to devise another means to defeat the aliens which have never happened before. This better explains why you are wanted dead by all costs.]This was strange to Stan as he found it difficult to believe because that was not how he viewed systems before now. He had every tangible reason to argue with Adoth on that,
The helicopter landed in Washington DC, at another elite academy where advanced training takes place. Here in this branch, the parents of most of the elites that survived the attack in Columbia branch came to pick up their wards and also those whose children were lost in the attack also came to get proper information about the attack and why the masters were not able to protect the kids under their watch.The aliens had not entered Washington so the story which they were hearing was not clear to them, they found it difficult to believe as it seemed to be a lie having no proof. The crowd in the academy was massive and many were looking very angry because they have lost their children and it could not be taken lightly. “Here comes the low class I have been telling you about.” Guzman Ronald said to the parents of Rudo Walid that were there to pick up their ward but was told about his death. “Don’t tell us that this rascal is responsible for our son’s death?” Mr Walid said to Guzman bec
Trisha Graham got to meet with her mother who was there to pick her like every other parent had come for their children. She first hugged her mother because it was almost two years since they last saw each other. Trisha was among the few students that never went for holidays since they joined the academy, but with the news of a lot of children dying in the academy the parents of these children had to create a chance to come get their wards and ensure they were still alive.“Oh my baby,” Jeanette Graham said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter Trisha.“I miss you so much mom.” ”Me too. Thank goodness you are alive. Your father and I have been so worried since we heard the news.”“Is he here with you?”“Of course, he is the master of this branch.” She answered but further continued as she sighted him coming their way. “Oh, here he comes.” Trisha quickly turned and ran to hug her father, Isaac Graham. “Daddy…”“That’s my girl. Hope you are not hurt?”“I’m okay. Daddy you need t
As Xiang and Ling were approaching the vehicle that will take them out of the academy Xiang's phone rang and it was Mr Ming-húa, Ling's father who was calling so he handed the phone over to Ling because he was one that wanted to speak with his father.Ling was so happy to receive the call. It seems everything we are working for is in the favor of Stan. "Hello father it's me Ling.""Oh son, I'm sorry for not being able to come pick you myself, please forgive me." Mr Ming-húa said over the phone."It's alright Father, there's no time for explanation." Ling quickly replied because he had more to tell his father. This was rare to Ming-húa, he could not believe that his son would forgive him so easily for such so he had to ask to be sure Ling was not messing with him. "Really?!""Of course." Ling answered.From that response, Ming-húa knowing his son, was able to tell that Ling wanted a favor from him so he asked, "I know you very well son, what do you want?"Ling first of all smiles befo
When Stan heard this from the system he was so disappointed, for the first time since he started receiving instructions from the system he had never been on a different page with it, his human conscience would not let him watch those people die, so he chose to neglect the instruction given to him by Adoth irrespective of how those elites hated him and wanted him dead. Xiang wanted to continue driving the car after the forceful stop, but then the aliens shot at them, hitting the engine of the car so that it could no longer move again. “Oh shit!!” Ling exclaimed as he knew that would stop their escape from the academy. All this while they had been running away from the aliens and he believed that was the same thing the system had told Stan and believed Stan was going to follow its instruction. “No more running.” Stan said as he came down from the car. He chose to work by the first and main mission which Adoth had told him which was to save mankind from the aliens, so he believed h
Trisha looked out of the hiding spot as she heard the sound of those aliens drawing near so she said again to Ling, “We have to move, they are coming this way.”“No, I can’t leave him there.” Ling was still talking about Xiang who had died, so it was very difficult for him to move on immediately.“Think, Ling think. This is not what he would want you to do. Think of what he would tell you at this point.” Trisha began to speak some sense to him so that he does not bring death upon himself.His eyes were already flowing with tears, Ling was shading the kind of tears which he had not shade I before in a while. The last time such a tear was in his face was when his mother was diagnosed with the terminal illness which has not been cured up till date. With the advice he received from her as he thinks of what Xiang would want him to do, he wipes his eyes as he looks in the two possible directions that they are to take in order to choose the best part to head towards.Seeing that he has come
Now that Stan and Nassor had gotten the weapon they seek and were trying to protect the people in the academy because they had gotten some experience on how to kill those aliens, they began to fight back as they patrol the school environment with Lisa Perry who had just joined them, but in this course, they realize that most of the people in the school were nowhere to be found, those who were seen were the ones who had become casualties of the attack.Even though they had secured valuable weapons and were putting them to use, they still did not push hard on the aliens because only the both of them could not attack the aliens in their numbers. They were wise enough to only shoot when the aliens were few in a particular section and anywhere they were much, the three of them would just sneak past them so long as there were no human beings worthy of being saved there.After walking the academy as they made possible kills of a few aliens for two hours, Stan then realized that the academy i
While inside the room all by himself, Adoth spoke to him again, telling him his status.[Task failed. Results are as follows. XP level: four. Strength: twenty five. Speed: thirty six. Agility: Seventeen. Stamina: fifteen. Stealthily: five. Vitality: fourteen. Technique: nine.]In the midst of his mourning, this was the worst thing he could hear. It amazed him why his abilities had to be downgraded instead of being upgraded, so he chose to quarrel the system. "Adoth can you explain to me the meaning of this thing you are saying? Last I remember my speed was at thirty nine."[For every failed or disobeyed task, you will be downgraded and there is nothing you can do about it other than to accept it as it is.]"You know what? I'm done. You can leave my body now. I am no longer interested in saving mankind. I refuse to be your host." Stan said in anger though he meant some percentage of what he said.[That is not how this thing works. I found and chose you which you also gave me your conse
