Chapter 16: Reality

The second month passed as quickly as the first, maybe even faster. During that time Zero finally regained consciousness exactly two weeks into the second month and spent the remaining two weeks meditating and improving his already created combat technique.

According to the reports they have been receiving, all members of the elite class have successfully stabilized their realms, and just like them, they are already working on their combat techniques. Based on their high potential grades, the two most talented students of the class, except for the Zero and his crew will complete their combat techniques in a month while the others will require about two months to complete theirs.

Seeing they were already ahead of the others, these four satisfied with their growth speed, each of them has successfully created a combat technique and they still had a month or two to widen the gap between themselves and the rest. After a brief discussion amongst themselves, the acknowledged the fact that their Oscuro group was truly lacking in some aspects and it may be a hindrance to their growth in the future. All the various superpowers in the liberation union possess territories outside the safe zone where they control and mine for different resources which they use to improve the strengths of their people. The Oscuro organization only focused on lucrative businesses and trade which could help them earn a lot of money, but it was lacking in terms of cultivation materials.

Along the line, these four found numerous documents that showcased prosperous territories outside the safe zone which were marked by their parents. It was obvious that their parents began making plans for this when they awakened their abilities, this was meant to ensure that they won't lack resources that will help them grow, unfortunately, they were killed before they could implement their plans. Normally, four people trying to acquire a territory could be considered a suicide mission, but when it's the Liberation unions strongest S rated guardians, it seemed possible and reasonable.

Even with the millions and billions of Lu they possess, they cannot acquire enough cultivation materials. Even if they decided to sell the company off just to acquire cultivation materials, what they will get will probably be enough for a few years, five years tops! At this moment, Zero and the other three realized they had nothing worth boasting of, they finally understood why almost all the guardians are affiliated to a certain superpower, especially the high ranking ones! If they want to grow, they will definitely need the backing of a powerful organization.

In reality, the Oscuro group was only a money-making organization and was not worth mentioning in the face of the various superpowers which normal people do not even know of. Considering all these, they realized they had two options if they wished to grow.

1) Perform well in the institution, prove their worth, and keep hoarding more of the school resources.

2) They can also become scavengers like other individuals who refuse to ally themselves to any superpower. Take up tasks, complete them, and acquire cultivation materials as rewards.

Since joining another group would hurt their pride, they had only two options after reviewing everything. They can only acquire more cultivation resources through these means, so they decided to take them both. They can only consider the territory acquiring part when they are finally at a level where they can be compared to their parents.

With this, the short discussion as early as 6:00 am in the morning ended and they all scattered and prepared for class. Even though they were more interested in improving their strength, they needed some background knowledge of this world as well. The school activities were not much and didn't really consume much time so they really didn't see this as a problem.

"You claim the Liberation union and the Sovereign federation are on a mobile continent, constantly moving… That's why it isn't almost impossible for people in the other part of the world to come in contact with us?" A youth with golden pupils asked with a frown on his face.

He had dazzling golden spikey hair with a black undercut. He wore a yellow leather jacket atop his white T-shirt and yellow jeans coupled with yellow boots. The aura around him was quite strange and he seemed to be in haste every time he spoke. Even when he spoke, he spoke so fast that the others barely caught a word he said.

"Blitz or whatever you choose to call yourself, please slow down and repeat your question" Miss Lane was annoyed by this too. She knew this was a side effect due to his superpower and the kid had legendary grade potential so it was natural his abilities reflect on his body even when he isn't trying to use it but she still couldn't stand this, the kid spoke just too fast and she always struggled to meet up.

"You claim the Liberation union and the Sovereign alliance are on a mobile continent, constantly moving… That's why it isn't almost impossible for people in the other parts of the world to come in contact with us?" Blitz didn't seem to be bothered. He repeated the question again but this time at a slower pace with anticipation written all over his face.

"Thank you… and yes, only the Liberation union and the sovereign federation and a few minor groups exist on this continent… We reside in places we call safe zones, specifically built to keep the magic beasts away from us… You may not believe it but in reality, the human race on this continent does not occupy close to ten percent of the land on the continent… we only have enough strength to defend ourselves… spreading is not an option in this case… Considering this, even if people do find their way to this continent, they may not even be able to find us... I personally don't know what's outside this continent… if they are humans or monsters or so on, all I can say now is this, the true purpose and goal of a guardian, be it from the sovereign federation or the liberation union is to ensure the survival of the human race… this is our true purpose!" Miss Lane explained with a frown on her face.
