The rain stopped in the forest, and some cadet teams walked together to arrive at a large field in the middle of the forest. They already knew it was the last checkpoint before the cadets were picked up.
"Kira!" called Freya, arriving at the field and seeing the short girl near Noah.
Kira turned her head to the side, then waved her hand to Freya. A smile spread across Kira's face when she saw Freya had survived this exam. Freya and Kira hugged each other.
Allen, who was in the same group as Freya, walked towards Noah and his team members. When he arrived near Noah, Allen couldn't hide his shock at Caleb's condition.
"Wh-What happened to him?" asked Allen, shocked.
"A crowd of beasts attacked him. We couldn't help because of t
Noah let Kira fall asleep without waking her up. One by one, the cadets arrived at the Main Hall of the London Cadet Academy in various conditions.Some were tired, fit, sleepy, and injured. Only those with minor wounds were allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony; those with significant wounds were immediately taken to a London hospital.Noah glanced back, seeing Freya and her team members arrive. They were seated at the back with a board bearing the team number 12. Freya smiled and waved as she locked eyes with Noah.The mentors sat in a reserved area at the upper podium, with chairs numbered according to their mentoring team, and Natasha was seated among the other mentors.After everyone had gathered, the head of the London Cadet Academy arrived along with a
Noah and the others left by running on the sidewalks of the city streets. No one wanted to take them to the London Cadet Academy. Even if they took the bus, it would take a longer time due to the heavy traffic.From Noah's and the other's eyes, they saw people scattering to escape the center of the chaos. The distinctive roar of the beast could be heard in Noah's ears just before he arrived at the spot."What the hell is going on? Why would there be a horde of beasts invading the city?" asked Freya, shocked with a pale face and wide eyes.Noah and the others arrived at the intersection that led to the academy. Their eyes witnessed fires and black smoke billowing out of the windows.As Noah was about to walk closer, a Beast Slayer soldier in a black uniform stopped him and his friends."Do not come near the area! It's dangerous for civilians," the soldier emphasized.Noah squinted, seeing the soldiers walking out while carrying the injured ca
With a single swing of Natasha's powerful lightsaber, the light of Natasha's blade managed to slice through the beast's body in a diagonal shape. The dangerous shadow beast roared loudly, its body vaporizing as if it was preparing to blow up."Theo, use your fog to contain the beast's explosion!" Natasha ordered, Theo said yes.Natasha took Theo's place to save the instructors who were entangled in chains. Theo was seen gulping down his wine, activating his skill, and spraying the wine forward.The mist appeared so thick that it filled the place. Visibility became limited. Noah could not see the center of the hall carefully.Seeing Theo's talent skill reminded Noah of his small battle with Theo while in the Artemis residence. Theo explained that whatever happened inside
Noah glanced to the side again, clearly seeing that Natasha The Artemis and Colonel Samuel were staring at him. It made Noah feel awkward, and he shifted his eyes back to Freya and Allen."About the order from Colonel Samuel. What is it?" asked Noah, returning the question he had interrupted earlier."Oh, he said that since we're the only ones here, he wants us to go to the main headquarters immediately to do the administrative stuff," Freya explained."That's right. It's more efficient and effective than sending soldiers to our house," Allen continued."You two should go first, I'll go to the hospital to visit Caleb and Susan first," announced Noah.Noah walked over to Kira, who was still trying to open the displacement port
"Rescue mission?" asked Noah."A team of soldiers was sent to Tatsfield Village in south London. They left five days ago, but there has been no news of their arrival," Samuel replied."Is it possible that they have—""That's what I'm afraid of. The number of Beast Slayer soldiers is getting fewer by the day; many of them have died due to failing to win against the beasts," Samuel interrupted, glancing to the side to look at Kira's worried face.Noah glanced to the side, also watching Kira's face intently. It was undeniable that the quality of Beast Slayer soldiers was declining, especially after the beast horde attack on the city academy.Also, the number of people interested in joining the Beast Slayer had decreased; even graduated cadets refused to join them.It was the reasons that made it difficult for the beast slayers to withstand the beasts' attack, and Noah realized that right when he heard Susan's reasoning."But aren't there many soldiers who can be sent there? They're much
"Is that so, huh? No wonder so many villagers don't leave their homes."Noah finally learned the reason behind the deserted main street of the village after hearing the Beast Slayer soldier's explanation before him. He was Sean, one of the A-97 team members.Sean told him that he was assigned to guard this place while his two friends went to search for the whereabouts of the young single woman who had disappeared to be kidnapped. However, it had been four days since the two of Sean's friends hadn't arrived.Because two of his team members were missing information, Sean reported this incident to the main headquarters in the city center of London. The headquarters also gave a special rescue mission to help the A-97 team.Sean invited Noah and Kira to walk together on the village's main road. He intended to take them on a village tour; perhaps Noah and Kira could find something."That's why I ordered the villagers not to leave the house. The best option is to stay home until the case is
***Three days later.The soldiers seemed to relax with each other while still guarding the village office hall. Sean was nearby and no longer patrolling.It was for a reason; there had been no attacks or kidnappings by beasts since Noah's plan was implemented. For Sean, his mission was complete in the village."I'll go upstairs to the hall to meet with Noah." Sean spoke to the volunteer soldiers of the village, who were stepping into the hall to meet Noah.Like in the previous days, Noah was sitting on the second floor, and the fourth skill of his talent was activated. Noah was still doing recon.Kira was waiting beside Noah, sitting on a wooden chair as her eyes stared straight
Sean's pace was so fast that Noah and Kira had difficulty keeping up with him. In addition, the dark and deep cave made it difficult for both of them."He's running really fast." Noah continued to run cautiously. He used his panel system to illuminate the place. Neither carried a flashlight because they never knew if the beasts had come out of the cave.Kira was still stepping behind Noah, following Noah's back, which was faintly visible in both of Kira's eyes. Thanks to the blue light from Noah's system panel, they could continue walking into the cave's depths.Noah stopped walking when his eyes witnessed two intersections ahead of him. There was no apparent difference between the two intersections, leaving Noah confused."Where should we go?" asked Kira.
The nurse emerged from the duty doctor's office, planning to return to Noah's treatment room. Natasha saw the nurse and told her that she would take care of Noah.The nurse didn't object. She told her that Noah needed to eat a lot of nutrients to restore his condition, and Natasha would prepare the fruits that Noah's body needed.The door to Noah's room opened again. Of Noah's entire body, only his head could be moved temporarily. Noah turned his head and saw the beautiful woman who had hugged him earlier coming back."You're... Natasha, right?" asked Noah.Hearing such a question was heartbreaking for Natasha. Natasha tried to strengthen her heart and not to cry in front of Noah, of course, so that he wouldn't worry."Did th
Noah was still feeling the effects of Mystic Samsara's power. Although Noah was awake, he was still weak enough to move his arms and legs. He could only lie on the bed with the sound from his mouth sounding soft.The nurse managed to contact Natasha. Just as the nurse predicted, Natasha sounded so happy and excited to hear that Noah had woken up.Natasha, who was at the Artemis residence, hurriedly left the place for the London hospital. She couldn't wait to see Noah, who had been unconscious for a long time."Do you feel any particular pain, Mr. Noah?" asked the doctor."What's going on?" asked Noah, as the doctor turned his head to the side to look at the nurses nearby."Ms. Natasha will explain many things to you. For now,
Three days laterLondon hospital.It was Natasha's turn this time to look after Noah. That afternoon, Natasha had nothing to do, either at the Artemis residence or at the main headquarters.Charlotte's persuasion of Samuel fails. Samuel still insisted on refusing Kira's leave. As a result, Kira had to go with Aiden's team on a cleanup mission even though Kira hated it."Breaking News!" said the news anchor, displaying video footage from someone showing the figures of thousands of beasts charging from the depths of the forest near the City of Edinburgh.All the TV channels were reporting the same thing, an impromptu and massive attack by the beasts on the city of Edinburgh. The enormous attack targeted the beast slayer's
***The next day.Noah's infirmary.London hospital.Susan arrived at the hospital with a parcel. Susan hasn't seen Noah since he was hospitalized. This time, it was her first time visiting Noah.The location of Noah's infirmary was on the fourth floor, a first-class room commonly used by certain beast slayer soldiers. Noah occupied it because of his closeness to the Legion.The door to the room was knocked softly, someone with a soft voice said from inside, asking Susan to come in.When the door opened, she saw Kira near Noah's patient bed. Susan saw Noah's unconscious condition, with the help of an air mask on his nose.
It was obvious that the group of beast slayer soldiers who had previously fought with the legendary-level beasts were seriously injured. Two were in critical condition, while the rest were unconscious with minor injuries.Charlotte discovered that one of the injured beast slayer soldiers was Noah, the man she had slept with.Now, he was one of the two in critical condition, requiring immediate treatment to recover.Charlotte and Theo ordered the main force that came with her to rescue the victims. While the troops were rescuing the beast slayers, Charlotte and Theo decided to circulate the place to ensure the park's safety."Do you feel anything, Theo?" asked Charlotte, Theo nodded."The poisonous mist inside the park is star
Noah still hadn't moved from his current spot. He couldn't fight the Legendary Level Beast without leaving his current position.Right behind Noah, Kira and Sean fainted unconscious from the beast's attack, while Talon was still lying on the ground covered in blood from the impact of his severed leg.Seeing the condition of Noah's three friends made Noah unable to leave his current place. The best option for Noah was to keep attacking and not leave them.The beast in front of Noah roared again, making noise in both of Noah's ears. Blood flowed out of both ears, as the eardrums were damaged by the beast's shrill cry.Tree beasts rose from underground, there were hundreds of them. The legendary-level beast was still standing in the back row, taking cover using a shield fro
"A legendary-level beast? This can't be happening," Talon complained.His legs and arms were trembling with fear, his face pale white like the color of milk. His eyes darted violently upwards, at the 15-meter-tall beast's face with a white pattern on its forehead."What should we do, Noah?" asked Talon.Talon turned his head to the side, looking at Noah with a deathly fearful expression on his face. Noah couldn't do much either, a legendary-level beast wasn't something he could handle.According to the explanation from the beast encyclopedia at the academy, legendary-level beasts could only be fought by the Legions, with their combined strength. For a cadet like Noah, it was difficult to defeat a legendary-level beast, unless Noah had extraordinary abilities hidden away."Take a picture of the beast and send it to the Beast Slayer Headquarters in London. Let them send the Legion to deal with it," Noah explained, Talon nodded in understanding.He held his wrist and pressed his watch,
After getting exact information about the plan presented by Noah. The commander of the Sevenoaks City army immediately divided his troops into two stations.The first was the rescue station, tasked with evacuating the civilians stung by the purple bees away from the city's main street.The second was the protection station, in charge of protecting Kira who would fulfill her role, spawning a black hole to suck up all the purple bees in several parts of the city.And the main team itself would be assigned to Deer Park. Responding to the outbreak of purple bee attacks after Noah took down three purple trees in the park indicates that Noah's actions were correct.The Beast living in Deer Park responded to Noah's actions by stopping the fog and sending hundreds of thousands o
***The next day.Sevenoaks City.As morning came, something surprising happened. The thick fog that should have enveloped the city, slowly began to fade and diminish.The density of the fog was reduced, the residents were happy, as were the police and beast slayer members. They expressed their joy by running around outside while taking off their masks.Although the fog was not completely gone, they felt that it was much better than before.Their eyes no longer stung, the foul odor was gone, their sense of smell no longer hurt, and their breath was as long as ever."Talon!" called a member of Talon's team, waking Talon who was st
