Chapter 51: Enemy of humanity(1)

"What do you mean, Miss Lane… How come we know nothing of this?" The government officials were stunned by her words and struggled to wrap their heads around her words.

"Ate you saying Zero is as talented as Shi Jia?" Another government official asked with a confused expression on his face.

"As talented… I can't say for certain… but inferior? No way… Amongst the four heirs of the Oscuro group… Zero is the one I fear the most" Miss Lane said.

As much as Miss Lane would love someone to tell her that her assumptions about Zero are wrong, she couldn't help but know she was on point when it comes to this. Her suspicion about Zero's true potential started from the potential grading test where he forcefully pushed his potential from red to white. What most people didn't know was that after the potential test, the crystal orb shattered and it had to be replaced before other students could test their own potential grade. Funny enough, the same thing happened for Shi Jia during his private potential testing session.

At that point, Miss Lane realized it wasn't that the crystal orb was faulty or these two can push their potential up with determination. No, it was more like the crystal orb could not necessarily pinpoint the exact grade of their potential, so it malfunctions before breaking down. All through the history of the liberation union, only Zero and Shi Jia have been able to achieve something like this.

The second was the awakening process where he consumed all the contents of his gas cylinder and left with little or no signs of exhaustion like the others. In her opinion, even if Zero is unable to take in five more gas cylinders, he should be able to consume at least 3 or four more. In her opinion, Zero may not be as talented as Shi Jia but he was not inferior either.

Finally was the combat class where Zero and Akila took the initiative to attack Shi Jia in a bid to protect Kira. Many may not have noticed but Miss Lane did. Zero has always been known for his weak and fragile body but on that day he dashed into the arena at an inhumane speed and when bombarding the metal walls set to stop them from reaching Shi Jia, Zero exhibited physical strength comparable to that of Akila who is said to be the strongest member of the team because of his reinforcement superpower.

Others may have been distracted but Miss Lane wasn't. She could see Zero and Akila's spirit energy flow through their body in the same pattern during the activation of their superpower! She was a hundred percent sure that Zero was using the reinforcement ability at that time!

"This…." The government officials were left speechless by Miss Lane's explanations and they finally understood why there was a hint of fear in Miss Lane's eyes whenever she mentioned Zero.

"Three potential S rated guardians and one potential disaster realm guardian… we definitely can't lose those four or Shi Jia… we must find a way to reconcile them!" The government official said with newfound determination blazing in his eyes.

If the country could nurture these five successfully, they can easily surpass the sovereign federation in military might and they will have capable defenders to protect them from the looming magic beast danger.

Not only that, the news of Zero successfully replicating the reinforcement ability left the thrilled as well. The reinforcement special ability was considered one of the easiest to replicate, alongside Zero's aura manipulation ability. While almost anyone with special abilities can manipulate their aura to replicate Zero's achievements, their aura constructs are way weaker than that of Zero.

On the other hand, the government had tried on numerous occasions to replicate Akila's ability. The concept of the reinforcement special ability was just strengthening the body by using one's spirit energy. It's like focusing enough spirit energy on a certain part of the body to help improve its capabilities. The problem is focusing too little spirit energy doesn't really improve the body and focusing too much power will ultimately lead to the loss of that limb.

They have tried repeatedly but they only received news of failure. What these people failed to understand was that the reinforcement special power can also be used to refine the body and strengthen it, making it strong enough to withstand the spirit energy flowing through it. The more refined the body becomes, the more amount of spirit energy it is able to withstand, meaning the wielder can attain even greater heights in terms of physical capabilities.

Akila's father could create storms and hurricanes with just a punch. Demolishing buildings and sending trucks flying effortlessly, that was how refined his body had become. If the government to possess the answers to such a secret, even the weakest E rated guardian can become strong enough to challenge A-rated guardians if not S, if they could get the secret from Zero, they begin operation soon. The thoughts of having a super soldier army made them tremble with excitement, at least, that was until Miss Lane ruined the mood.

"Don't be naïve…. When two great forces collide, they don't just apologize to each other and move along…. They struggle until one comes out on top…. Zero and his group already perceive Shi Jia as a threat…. The battle is bound to happen" Miss Lane shook her head in disapproval.

As much as she hated to be the bearer of bad news but it was the truth. The clash between these people is bound to happen, be it tomorrow or in a decade time, it will definitely occur and one side will definitely end up dead. In her opinion, Zero and his group may end up dead in this battle.

"Do you think Kira can deal with Shi Jia? With Shi Jia's potential, he will most likely end up killing the kid!" A female government official lamented.

"Zero knows that… That kid's perceptive skill is the strongest I have seen in a while…I don't think Kira will be one to fight Shi Jia… I believe Zero will seek out Shi Jia on his own in a bid to protect Kira… One of the two will die in that fight" Miss Lane lamented. She spoke as if she has seen it all happen already or did she?

"Are you using your Foresight special ability or are you just guessing?..."
