CHAPTER 20: ★ DEATH ★ TAG ★ "What?" Quint Mallory screamed. "Escape from you… ? But you're the best! There is no way we first years can possibly beat you--" Ted laughed loudly. "CHICKEN !! AIN'T UP FOR A LITTLE CHALLENGE !!" Valtor raised a finger in the air, catching their divided attention and said. "Listen up kiddies, you only have a ten seconds headstart starting now. Pass this test and prove your worth to me, now !!" FWOOSH !! Marko's ash hair goes up in waves from the wind left behind by the other trainees that suddenly gave chase, even Ted. "Huh?" He could see Valtor's eyes flashing through his sunglasses. "He's serious. * GULP *! Dead serious !" He turned and gave chase after the others down the the city but was surprised by their quick speed. He wondered if this was the difference between the newbies and the top of the class. Luckily he knew that the direction to the end of the city was a straight line but the city was busy. His le
CHAPTER 21: ★ CAMPING ★ IN ★ THE ★ WILD ★ Marko raised his head slightly to the sky, the night was drawing nearer. The had been running the whole day know, behind he could see the city as a tiny spec on the horizon. He barely caught his breath trying to keep up with Sir Valtor, even with infinite super strength his body soon hit it's limit. "WHAT ARE HIS LEGS MADE OFF !" Ted boomed. He had been the only one prone to complain mostly insultive. Nari had at first kept herself conserved now she was practically soaked from head to toe in hot sticky sweat, if someone has told her that she would be running the whole day she would have laughed. But was she laughing now…? No, she was infact mourning about her predicament. Echo the goth girl ran in last place behind Quint, Marko hinted that theywere terrible at physical exercises. His system allowed him to barely keep up with Valtor, Nari following behind and Ted after her. Valtor came to a halt and
CHAPTER 22: MUTANT HYBRID Marko pulled back sharply and looked at the screen before him. [Analyzing Threat] Ted kicked him out of the way before the huge monster could bite his head off. "Where the heck are you looking at DUMBSHIT!?" Ted called forward his red flames and started hurling them at the monster that swatted it away like puffs of smoke. Ted rolled his eyes and said. "I guess I'll turn up the heat then!" "Stop it you idiot, do you want to burn down the forest?" Quint barked at him. "I will beat it myself, just stay back and watch." As they lashed out insults and tried to fight off the monster Marko tried to think and relay his thoughts. He proceeded to ask his system on how to handle the newfound threat. "System what is this thing?" He screamed. The response was swift... [Analysis Complete] [Generating Information] [Mid - Grade Terror Detected] [An Error Has Been Detected] "What!" Marko's eyes sprung open. "That's a new one." [The Species Has Dorma
CHAPTER 23: GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD Marko stood there catatonic as his friends drew their last breaths his eyes blinded by confusion when a strong hand pressed down on him. TAP! "Don't worry, I've got it from here!" A strong reassuring voice pronounced as the gold haired man walked ahead of him and towards the mutant hybrid. "This will be over quick!" The mutant hybrid turned it's attention to the advancing figure and growled. In as little as the blink of an eye Valtor Rose was before the terror, this jolted the beast. "Unhand my pupils you disgusting beast!" Valtor simply slapped his hand on the monster's chest causing it to let go of it's prey and collapse on the ground. "What the--" Ted said in a fit of coughs, his lungs had been greatly weakened. "He's crazy strong!" The terror caught flame and disintegrated to dust, signifying they it has been subjugated. Their faces were jolted by the appearance of a naked female body under the pile of ashes. "Huh!" Screamed Nari.
CHAPTER 24: ENERGY CONTROL It was just a few hours ahead of afternoon and none of them had eaten, Marko Rivers had a long gap between him and the others. At first he wanted to slow down because he felt he was getting much help from the system but that was when it occured to him. The goal of the training was to fully use your gifts while circulating your energy so that it would not run out. Manually it would he hard but his system helped him with most of it. Because his gift had a lot of positive attributes to it did not mean he would have to lower himself just bevause he wanted to make anyone feel better. The more he ran the more it occured to him that this was his own race he ran. But he never once had any really friend, he was foolish to think he did. So he determined within his mind that he would not stop running his race again, no matter what. Unknown to him, though the gap between him and the others were far apart; his actions caused some chemical reaching o
CHAPTER 25: THE DARK CASTLE Marko dropped down on his side his insides leaking out blood, his body a mere husk of his former self. "Glurg. Glurg." As his eyes dimmed he stretched out his hands to sir Valtor standing over them his feet stained with blood and moaned. "Sir V- Valtor." Valtor Rose opened his eyes as he found Marko Rivers standing before him. "We're ready." Marko finished. "Alrighty then." Valtor hopped to his feet as he walked ahead of them. He had been visualizing, something he always did to train his mind. But he could not dispel the ominous aura of death leaking out from the castle. They had all changed their clothing and had set their minds solely on the battle at hand. Only one of them chose to ask the very crucial question. "Sir Valtor, I still don't get why terrors would be in a castle. They are suppose to be solitary beasts, monsters infact." Quint hinted. "It's all far too bizarre." That was also what was bothering the Golden Prince. He has never
CHAPTER 26: #1 & #2 (1) Valtor Rose approached the building with them following close behind. He could see a sign hung up reading "PERMS ORPHANAGE". Marko and Ted stood side by side to each other, their eyes fixated on the huge wooden door that carried a number of cobwebs and scratches. They could all feel the fear, it had never been once recorded that terrors worked as an organized group. What could that possibly mean? "Marko, Ted welldone in sparking that wonderful chemical reaction. It's proof that you despite being in Cobalt Blue the weakest ranked house, you can easily link up the perfect attacks without communication." Valtor spoke with certainty. "I want the rest of you to recreate that, this is not a drill. This place clearly reeks of human flesh as it seems some of these monsters are humans. Also... There is a very high possibility that there's a high terror in there." They all had puzzled looks except the uncanny duo that were both lost in thoug
CHAPTER 27: #1 & #2 (2) Number two started to assault the two girls at an incredible speed causing them to back up as fast as they could. "Hey, werido! Don't get in my way!" Nari yelled at her companion. "If you want to help do your thing!" Echo nodded without doing anything. Number two chuckled as she started to multiply in great numbers. "After consuming so many female organs I have been able to freely reproduce more of me, it's a really demanding skill but it's worth it if I get to eat someone else like you two loves." Now there were about fifteen copies of her each with inhuman claws on their hands. Nari hissed. "Are you sure you were really human?" "Humanity is a fleeting, father's goal to destroy humanity will be achieved at all costs." Number two said. Nari generated blue electricity from her hands and legs. "Lightning Flash!" She darted forward and started to slay the clones of nine that had just doubled in size. She reproducing them much more faster than I can
CHAPTER 46: THE TEACHER'S CONFERENCE A big round table surrounded by numerous seats dominated the room at the top of the tower. The room, with its high ceiling and grand windows, overlooked the sprawling grounds of the gifted academy. Here, the prized teachers, the protectors and mentors of the nation's most promising youths, gathered for a crucial meeting. "We have to make sure the tournament this time around goes well," said one of the teachers, his voice tense with the weight of the responsibility. "Since when has it never gone well?" another teacher replied, a hint of exasperation in her tone. She was a veteran, having witnessed many such gatherings, each fraught with its own set of challenges. "The circumstances in Saceria make this even harder on us," interjected a third teacher, his brow furrowed in concern. "The faith of the people in us is very weak at this moment. They doubt our capabilities more than ever." "But we are the only line of defense for the people," ano
