Though most MUD swans managed to fly out of the pit, one of them got blocked by a falling rock and fell right back into the pit.
Edgar ran over to save that individual, but as he got there, the entire pit itself rose up, and Edgar managed to easily pull that man out of the mud.
Bontu, who just arrived there, was shocked and surprised with the chaotic situation. The inspectors and other miners also got there and helped bring people away from the danger spots.
After everyone was brought outside of the danger zone, the inspectors counted the number, and after confirming that they saved everyone, they approached Fabby with enraged expressions.

In the early evening.“Sis, it’s still not coming out,” said Edgar as he and his sister were walking through a long curving street with trees on either side.“Don’t worry. It’ll come out sooner or later,” assured Fabby. “No one in history lost their core ability once they’ve attained it, you know, not that I know of.”“Mm…” he could only nod, even though he knew that his sister’s knowledge was probably very limited.Ever since he woke up from his months-long sleep, he was unable to bring out lightning for some reason. He didn’t know why, but no matter what he tried, it just didn’t come out. So he could only wait and hope that time would set things right.

“I’m telling you, someone has put it there,” Fabby argued with a mission manager in the mission hall. “We have to find the one who did it.” “We’re glad that you’ve completed the mission, but your work here is done. You don’t get to jump to conclusions or tell us what to do. If you don’t have anything else, then you may leave.” Fabby gritted her teeth. She felt a surge of anger rising out of her. “Don’t said I didn’t warn you.” She turned and started to walk away, but then she felt a strange taste in her mouth. She brought her tongue outside, and it was all muddy. “What the…” she spat a few times, causing the mission manager to yell at her. A few minutes later. She came out of the mission hall, having taken a new mission. FIND THE

The next morning.When Bontu arrived at the lecture hall, the siblings were sleeping outside on the edge of the stairs. He woke them up.“Since when were you two sleeping here?” he couldn’t help but ask.“That’s not important,” Fabby was yawning, and he found it cute. “Edgar found out an important clue regarding the drug seller. It’s someone who wears a green towel it seems. We should confirm if it’s true or not.”“Oh…” Bontu’s eyes lit up. He looked at Edgar for confirmation. “I didn’t think any foot disciple would give away such information.”“Well,” Edgar scratched the back of his head because Bontu was right.

“What did you say?” the blonde’s brows drew together. “Please don’t mind his words, senior,” Fabby hurriedly stood. “They don’t have any deeper meaning.” “Hmph! Who are you?” the blonde then gestured with her finger as if telling Fabby to come on stage. “I’m his sister.” Fabby went onto the stage. The blonde girl suddenly slapped Fabby, startling her to the core. Edgar was also quite shocked. “Don’t mind my slap,” she told Fabby. “It doesn’t have any deeper meaning.” Most of the audience could barely control themselves from bursting out into laughter. Edgar, however, was on the verge of losing it. He grabbed the chair’s hand so
WHIT 103 - SIGMAS
“There is no particular way to unlock one’s Drive because it depends on every individual,” Leo explained to the juniors in the class through a little demonstration. “Assuming that you unlocked the Drive, you will be able to release red energy from your body.” He released reddish energy out of his body. A faint warm breeze washed over the juniors’ faces. “This is called sigma energy which is derived from your blood. And those who can use it are called sigma-level warriors or simply called sigmas or red hoods. There are more levels than one, but the topic of higher levels is for another time.“Some of you here might have the red drive, the sigma energy, and that means you are all at the first level, the sigma level. This level has ten stages. Before I explain those stages, let me give you some advice. Some people take months to go from one stage to another, and
WHIT 104 - A KAPPA
Some outer disciples got onto the stage and showcased their drive. Even some foot disciples showed off. Some broke coconuts with bare hands. Some did push-ups on their thumbs. Some seniors among the outer disciples put holes in thin blocks of wood with their fingers. Some stood on their big toes for a minute or so. Some made loud noises with their claps, whereas some played musical instruments at extreme speeds. All in all, the juniors showcased their skills in different but intriguing ways, and this was a good opportunity for both Edgar and Fabby to watch and learn. However, only Fabby seemed interested at the moment.Soon, everyone was chatting nonstop after Leo left the room for a short break.Edgar was still looking serious. Fabby put her hand on his hand and said, “Eddie, do you realize that after your crippled leg was healed and you became strong, y

“T-That flaming energy… He’s a Kappa!” Many mouths hung open from what they were witnessing. Marfa, the guy who got his wrist cut last night was also there, and he, too, was exceedingly astounded. Though his hand got stitched back and would take weeks if not months to work like before, it throbbed now more so than ever. That said, many people had ridiculed him for losing to a kid, even though Edgar already had earned a reputation. Now, after the public display he put, all those people who teased him might be feeling like slapping their own faces. Marfa who was intensely eating a sweet potato, even stood and said, “This is the guy who cut my hand. Underestimate him at your own peril.” Marfa was a notable figure among the foot disciples, so his words struck them hard. Becoming a foot disciple of any sect wasn’t a b

As the blades met the daggers, an explosion erupted upon impact and blew the benches and people away. Only the tutors, outer disciples and a few others were able to stand on their feet.As the heat wave made the foot disciples scream, almost all of them began to run out of the class as if their lives depended on it.“Flower Fall Arts…” Gabriella jumped back and high up to the ceiling and sent flying slashes down nonstop. “Hundred Petal Rain!”Those slashes cut through the desks as if they were fruits. Though Edgar dodged from them initially, he couldn’t escape them all. The slashes he deflected also destroyed the objects around him.“Flowing Blade Floating Flower Arts…” Edgar jumped and spun like a whirling wind and

Edgar woke up, only to find himself in a pool of mud. He could feel that he was being healed by fish that were swimming in the mud and were nibbling at his skin.At first sight, it might look like they were eating him, but they were actually taking away the negative energy from his body, though he was not able to feel that.Edgar tried to grab one of those fishes, but they turned into pure mud, pleasantly surprising him.He looked at Fabby who was sitting in the distance, by the cliff. “What are these fishes, sis?”“Elder Gavin made them with his drive. He said they can suck away impurities from your body and make you stronger,” Fabby explained. “He said even your drive will get smoother and faster afterward. Also, the negative effect the beast cores have on our bodies can also be reversed, or so he said.”“Such a thing is possible with drive?” Edgar was both surprised and doubtful. “These fish are biting me, but I don’t feel any pain.”“Yeah. Just stay there until all those fish are

The eagle brought the siblings to a mountain range and dropped them next to Gavin who was weaving gloves with drive.He wasn’t surprised to see the position the siblings were in.“Here,” Gavin handed the gloves to the eagle, and it put the gloves on its feet and then screeched in happiness.“Haha, you like them, huh,” Gavin smiled. “They are durable as I knit them with my drive. So, don’t lose them.”Scree~!The eagle replied in a confident voice and then began to walk around happily in its new footwear.“They look like gloves, but they should be called socks, I guess?” Gavin wondered. “Ah, well, whatever…”Gavin then looked at the siblings, out of whom only Fabby was still conscious. She was trying to sit up, and it was taking her a while.“You don’t seem to have any external injuries. You are probably tired from using too much energy,” Gavin said. He sent a bullet of energy into her forehead, which didn’t hurt her but went straight into her brain and melted into it. This suddenly ga

270 - A DIFFERENCE TOO BIG
“Surfing Strike!’ Edgar’s foot viciously struck Ryu’s face and sent him flying high like a rotating paper fan. Any normal person would have had their head separated from their shoulders from that kick, but Ryu’s neck was flexible as well as sturdy as rubber.Ryu grabbed his head and stopped it from spinning before somersaulting and landing in the distance.“Huh?” Fabby was quite shocked by it. “Why is he not dead? Is he even human?”“His body is a bit special, you see,” Anarga smirked and then looked at Ryu. “But, hey, how could you get hit by that brat like that? You should be glad that there isn’t anyone else around, or it would have brought such shame.”Blood leaked from Ryu’s ruptured upper lip. He licked it and faintly smiled. “It’s been a while since I tasted my own blood.” His eyes turned red.“Oh, crap…” Anarga skipped backward. “You guys brought a disaster on yourself. When he goes into that frenzy mode, he’s unstoppable. Even I wouldn’t dare stand next to him because he can

269 - KNIGHT OF NIGHT
Anarga squeezed Edgar’s chest down, but when Edgar saw Ryu step toward his sister, he uttered, “Thunder Knight…”The ground beneath them cracked, and the air around them crackled. The very cliff itself vibrated in resonance with Edgar’s heartbeat.Anarga lost her balance just for a second. A double-edged lightning spear appeared in Edgar’s hand, and he thrust it right through her abdomen.She thought it would leave a hole in her, but it didn’t. However, it then electrocuted her to the point her clothes were half-burnt, and she looked like a semi-roasted grizzly bear.Ryu immediately clawed through the middle section of the spear and then took Anarga and jumped a few feet away. “How could you be so careless?”Anarga fell on one of her knees. Blood leaked from both corners of her mouth, even though she tried not to leak any blood.“Does it hurt that much?” Ryu asked.She gave him a glare.“I see…” Ryu then looked at Edgar, who was rising off the ground without the use of his hands, as th

Anarga’s body went into the rock, causing cracks all around her to spread for over thirty feet.Ryu’s feet were still locked by the earthen boots that Fabby had created, but he forcefully broke through them and whipped his leg at Edgar. “Dragon Knock!”“Ngh!” Edgar raised his left arm and blocked the kick with his forearm.Ryu’s foot forced its way through Edgar’s flame drive and struck his forearm and hit a nerve, sending a jolt of shock through to Edgar’s brain. On top of that, Edgar’s forearm got dislocated near the elbow.Ryu’s kick still sent a gust of energy over into the distance, which ended up blasting away a part of the cliff, shocking Fabby and Edgar.Fabby’s heart shook at that moment because if Edgar hadn’t deflected that kick, he wouldn’t have just got his arm dislocated. It was Edgar’s hunter-like instinct of parrying the kick at the last second was what saved him from experiencing a crushing defeat.Ryu didn’t even use drive. Whether he could even use drive or not, Edg

“Is this the best you can do?” Ryu said disappointedly. “I know you can do better, bald brat.” He treated Edgar as nothing more than a kid because he was much older than him. “Why don’t you show me what you got, or I’ll kill this bald girl.”Edgar, who was bleeding profusely from the chest, felt his soul stirring madly after hearing Ryu’s words.“Don’t listen to him,” Fabby said in a low voice. “We are not their match. Fighting them will only put us at a disadvantage. And there’s no one else here to stop the fight in case things go bad. It doesn’t benefit us in any way no matter how I look at it. Moreover, you are already badly injured.”Fabby’s words made total sense, but there was one thing that she didn’t consider. Edgar just couldn’t digest let alone accept the fact that Anarga Utsav had used her wind attack and pushed Fabby off the cliff. What if Fabby died from that?Edgar utterly disliked Anarga as well as Ryu. He didn’t want them to leave with a sense of victory.“Sis,” Edgar

“AHHH!” The siblings cried out in horror, mostly because of the pure shock value. Their eyes sprang out of the sockets. They totally didn’t expect that the eagle would do such a thing.Edgar was about to use his skill, but Fabby quickly said, “No, wait.”“Huh? Wait for what?” Edgar asked her back as winds viciously whipped at their faces.“Just wait,” she replied. As both of them kept getting closer to the ground, Edgar’s heart raced fast. “Screw this. I’m-” he was saying, but then the eagle suddenly came swooping down and caught both of them when they were about 100ft close to the ground and took them away with him.Edgar and Fabby held onto its talons so they wouldn’t fall.The eagle stopped by another mountain top and acted as if everything was okay.“You think I’ll thank you for saving our asses, you shitty bird!” Fabby punched the eagle hard in the face. “I thought I was going to die! You were the cause for scaring me near to death.”Even Edgar looked angry. His heart jumped in

Coming back to the present.The eagle had no idea who Edgar was, so Fabby had to do all the work except for flying. “Where is he?”She was worried for many reasons.The eagle even flew over the colosseum grounds, and she shouted for him, “Are you there, Eddie?”“Who’s that?” some masters and disciples wondered as she wasn’t clearly visible from below. “How rude of her to be flying over this place when the competition is still going on?”“He’s not here, either,” Fabby told the eagle to keep flying.As she kept looking around, she noticed someone bathing in an open pond. Just when she looked at him, he also looked up. She remembered his face mask. This was the same guy she met in a cave not long ago.Numo was not wearing a shirt right now, and his body was pristine white. It wasn’t muscular, but it still looked athletic and toned. It was very attractive, especially because he was a tall man.“Ahem,” Fabby looked away.After the eagle flew out of his sight, Numo continued rubbing his body

Months turned to years.Even though working in the fields had become a daily habit, so did the body pains. If not feet, then legs; if not legs, then back; if not back, then something else in the body took the turn. And by the time they got home, they were pretty tired, yet they wouldn’t be able to eat what they had produced or found.They were only given a limited amount of food such as corn or grains so they could make soup and live with it. The same plain soup with no vegetables in them whatsoever waited for them every night. And they were not paid anything else for their labor, for they were forced to work for the rest of their lives. There was no contract. Nothing. They were pretty much treated like cattle, or maybe even worse, with the only difference being their ability to talk. No matter how they were treated, they still worked hard, for most of them had reasons, be it their children and families.Fabby had Edgar, and Edgar had Fabby.
