Edward's eyes opened slowly. He was submerged, butt naked, in a clear liquid thirty feet into the ground. It felt warm and soothing. He could gradually feel his energy being restored. His severed limbs and lower body had regrown. He was in nirvana at this point when he heard voices."Pull him out." A female voice ordered. Thin layers of clear energy swirled around the liquid in multiple directions as they lifted both the liquid and Edward up to a ledge. It dropped him on his knees, and he let out a deep breath. He looked upwards and saw a person in a hooded cloak. Four gnomes walked with clothing."Here are human rags," they said, as they dropped them on the ground.Edward looked at the 'rags,' which were a clean turtleneck with a denim jacket and jeans. "Your energy is unstable, so this is all you have to cover up." She snapped her fingers and two giant orcs with butcher Knives walked up behind her. "Bring him to the main court in an hour." She ordered as she took her leave."Tchh.
At the headquarters, Elizabeth was filling some reports. "It's about that time huh..." She thought with a light smile. She filed the report in a cabinet below her desk. There was a knock on the door, and she responded to allow them in. The legion squad, her bodyguards with Kris in cuffs, and a confused Abubakr walked in. She looked at Kris and facepalmed while letting out a sigh. She rested her back on her chair and crossed her legs.Oumar stepped forward. "I have come to make a report on the battle at Dahab." "I heard we lost the entire town." She scowled her face as she looked at Oumar who rubbed the back of his head."My bad, but... we did retrieve the demon's core." He chuckled as Kamil gave him a box."We also have some information based on our observations and findings." Oumar retorted as his demeanour became serious while he showed Elizabeth the core."Very well then but first..." She turned to Kris, "What the hell did you think you were doing knocking out a soldier and putti
A week of training had elapsed. The training room was in a dilapidated state with holes in the walls, cracks all over the floor, scorched ground, etc. Kris and Abubakr sat on the ground facing each other and meditating. Their trousers had torn patches at the knees and sides of the lower part. They were maintaining a constant aura flow as they sat in silence."Alright, Kris. We are basically done with this crash course. Frankly, I am surprised at how quick your development is. I now understand what you meant when you said, "You pick up on things you see." Abubakr voiced out with a smile. "Told you so..." Oh man, I can't wait to get out of here and finally have a well-deserved bath! " Kris fell to his back, yawning out and stretching out his hands."Before that, there are two things that need to be done.""Two? I thought you said we were done.""I said basically, not totally""Whatever, man... same thing," Kris scoffed.Abubakr sighed as he shook his head, "Regardless, you need to know
Kris walked furiously as he headed for Elizabeth's office. He was displeased with the decision to rope him into the graduation ceremony. As he kept walking down the hallway to her office, he kept getting pissed at how far the length of the hallway stretched. "Dude, calm the fuck down. Reconsider! This is suicide!" James warned."I am calm! I am just going to have a little word with her. How dare she rope me into graduating just after my crash course! That's B.S" Kris ranted."Where is this coming from? You get to test your abilities as soon as possible. For someone that loves fighting this should be a cloud 9 opportunity for you.""Who said I love fighting?""What? What do you mean by that? Every single thing down to your very aura suggests that you love fighting. The fact that you are going to her office in this mood suggests you want a fight.""Whatever man. I am still doing it.""Ug
The day for the commencement of the graduation ceremony had arrived. A week of harsh preparations, training both physically and mentally, finally passed. Now was the time to show the fruits of their training. The cadets in their groups learnt their teammates abilities and formulated strategies based on them. All except..."I can't believe he didn't train with us for a single second! Oh my God! We are so fucked! So so fucked!" Fred wailed as he paced around."Come on. It's not going to be that bad. At least she trained a bit with you!" Su tried to comfort him."You are not any better! You only met me for sparring matches and even missed some training days while saying you were busy! We have no strategy! No backup plans! Nothing! We are so dead!" He sat on a bench and sighed. Su chuckled as she rubbed her hair."Will you shut your yapping! I can hear you all the way from the dorms." Kris hissed as he walked up to the two of them."Hey Kris" Su greeted with a smile."Sup" He responded."
The Dragonewt and Group 7 engaged in a tense stare-down. As its source energy rose, it squeezed the hilt of its sword and exhaled steam. As their aura grew stronger, the three established unique fighting positions and augmented their cloaks. It lowered its sword to the ground, its eyes gleaming."Here it comes." Su warned.The sword glowed as it dragged it across the ground before releasing a towering crescent shaped energy. Su and Fred dodged to the right while Kris dodged to the left as the energy tore deep into the wall sending out broken rocks and dust. The demon dashed towards Kris, lifted the sword overhead and struck down on him. He rolled further left letting the sword dig deep into the ground. It squeezed the hilt more, its veins popped and its eyes glowed with a sinister smile. It quickly swung its sword rightwards. Kris lifted his hands to guard and augmented his cloak but the power behind the sword sent him flying to the far end of the room."Kris!" Su yelled. The demon tu
More energy blasts kept tearing through the building. Two headed for Mr. Darwin, who was already on the floor, but Kris used his body as a shield to protect him. He carried the old man gently and rested him behind a chair. Su carried Fred and placed him beside Mr. Darwin. She was also pissed. She looked at Kris and he nodded. Kris burst out through a window to the left, while Su burst out through a window to the right. Their eyes glowed as they looked at Group 2. Raul's teammates focused their energy blasts on them. Kris ran through the blasts, tanking every single one till he got close and punched one of them in the face. The punch pressed deep into his face, and you could hear the cracking of bones before he was launched a few meters away. Kris stomped his leg into the ground and dashed past him till he was some distance behind him. He caught the guy in a bear hug while his feet dragged a bit. He squeezed the guy's bones till they cracked, making him scream out. Kris did a suplex, l
A brief moment before the beeping sound began, deep in a junkyard; there were explosions from the clashing of energy blasts. Group's 4 and 6 were in a deep clash over attaining each other's core. Francis gets kicked into a pile of car parts. He struggled to sit up. He was severely bruised, bleeding from his left hand and had his cloak rough. One of his teammates was down while the other, Beatrice, just finished off Amr's remaining teammate. She regrouped with him as Amr walked slowly towards them."Give it back and I'll not have to hurt you anymore," Amr ordered with his energy swirling."It's two against one and we have your core as well as ours. You are done Amr. Why don't you bow out quietly?" Francis responded."Two green sources want to take on a blue source? Best Joke I have heard in a while." Amr's cloak beamed as his eyes glowed. He took a boxing stance as he faced them."I guess we have no other choice." Beatrice muttered as she formed two energy spheres in each hand. She me
