Chapter 31: Training
1 day ago...
"King! Everyone died!"
"It's not our fault..." He felt their lamentation.
A useless father.
He did not even care!
Mare died and Mirae went missing yet he did nothing?
His empire soldiers and villagers died!
Did he not even care? WHY?
"Jess Malzahar..."
He muttered.
...
Day 2
At the Track and Field...
"Today we have new guests... I guess you're excited, right?"
"..."
No one answered.
"Considered that as a yes. Today 3 members are going to be your companion."
"Please?" He looks at the 3 youths.
Then the 3 youths with different faces and hair colours entered the scene.
"Be at home." The instructor smiled.
.....
10 minutes ago...
We're an assassin so you need a nickname. It depends on your imagination as long as you're fine with it.
...
"Ladies first?" The instructor started to speak first.
She nodded.
"Hello, I'm Jade. New member." Her eyes seem to be ridiculing everyone.
Yet no one cared. But everyone felt excited!
A beauty!
Silver-haired gal with purple pigment. Silver eyes that can melt souls. Beauty that can stagnate your time!
The effects of Charm!
'Perfect! She had the quality.' The instructor described simply.
She went to the field.
And another gal introduce.
"Hello, I'm Purple. Also a new member." She introduced simply.
But it was lifeless! It had no feelings or so!
'This problematic child...sigh.' The instructor could only lament.
She followed where Jade went.
Then another one. A lad.
"Hello, I'm Slaughterer. Also a new member."
"....."
"Shameless! Are you?" The kid in white gown ridiculed.
"...."
'Hmmm... This is interesting!' The instructor thought.
"Nope. It is as according to the rules. You may ask Instructor... If you want to?"
"Shameless!" The other kids yelled.
"You're basically showing off! Are you? You don't know what bullshit you have there." The same white gown Assassin ridiculed.
"...."
Then more Assassins voiced out.
"Slaughterer? A good name for you, I guess? Do you want to get killed?" He blunted more!
"That title is only for senior!
"Yes!"
"Yes!! Our senior can only have that name!"
Then more newbies entered the fray.
"....."
He let them quack! While he listened to them.
The Instructor did not even interfere.
Then Slaughterer looks at the Instructor.
The instructor nodded.
Slaughterer considered it as a yes.
"Whoosh!"
Blink...
The onlooker did not even see him!
"o.O?"
The quacking youth felt his neck bleeding!
"Uh..." He can't say a word.
Then Slaughterer moves his head forward.
He whispered something.
"If you want this title... Kill me! Or else I'll kill you Infront of these kids! Got it?"
"...."
"I considered that as a yes." Then he back off.
His hair change back to pure silver.
.....
He can't move! The feeling of death is something. He also pissed his pants!
A moment of silence.
"...."
Onlookers...
'I won't meddle with this guy anymore! He's scary!'
The other white gown Assassins also felt the same.
They pitied the guy who quacked.
"Okay, that's enough!" The instructor stopped the scene.
"Now you all got your lesson. "Do not belittle your enemy as if you know him." As an assassin, we must know the strength and weaknesses first and let the rest do." If you don't want to be like him?" He pointed the half-conscious guy.
"....."
The Assassins went silent.
"I considered that as a Yes."
"For those who are new. I'm your Instructor for the rest of the days. Until you assigned in your missions."
"Remember my name well, Fork!"
'So you're that Fork I guess.' Slaughterer thought.
'He's a black rogue commander. I can see he is stronger. A little weaker than old man Clavio.'
'Old man Clavio is stronger. He was a path maker. He followed the basic until he accomplished the two affinities! The Ice and Ferro affinity!'
'He's not a bloodline one but mutated transcendental.'
"Sins is still a mystery to me." He muttered.
.....
But Jade was more shocked!
"But how?"
"Did he not awaken his power?"
"He's also a shadow affinity!"
Jade or Mirae can't believe it! The more she thought, the more mysterious he is.
Then Slaughterer went to the field.
She looked at him with deep regret.
'I ridiculed him! But...I can't accept this fact!'
She can't stop her anger.
When Slaughterer saw her fumed. He can't stop laughing innerly.
"Now you see me bitch! How's that?" He muttered.
He went beside Purple.
It is because he felt safer with her rather than Jade.
"You did well, Purple." He praised her.
"...."
She only nodded at him.
'She's still like this. I can't talk to her from now on.' He thought.
"Why did she only get praised? How about me!" Jade said in jealousy.
"Ow?"
"Congrats then? I guess."
"You!!!" She can't stop boiling. As if she wants him now to strangle. But she can't do so.
"You have time!" She warned him.
"I'm looking forward bitch!"
"You!!! I have a name! Name? Get it?"She yelled.
Onlookers.
"Scary!" They felt the eerie feeling of being hunted by her words.
"Okay, stop your quarrelling you lovey-dovey." Fork meddled.
"..." Both of them felt embarrassed.
"Now we're going to your first test."
Then he a screen floated in the ground.
This is the rules.
1. Affinity is disabled.
2. Win the game.
3. Lose the game.
3 simple rules. But it gave them a shock.
What happened if they lose?
What if they win?
Is there something behind this?
"....."
They can't think of something.
"Don't worry kids. You're not going to die. This is just your first test! Haha!" Fork hinted them not to die.
"Wear these watches. Your information and so on can be shown in that watch. After you got there you'll know what I'm talking about. You own that watch from now on. We disabled your Affinities this time to maintain the game fairly. As an assassin, it depends on your skills. You may be teamed up as long as you got certain points. Got it?"
"....."
"Then I considered that as a yes!"
"Let the game begin!"
The surrounding changed. And it suddenly warped.
"Ah...." They felt the earth is moving.
'My first test in this second life.'
Slaughterer thought about this test.
"I'm going to win that thing this time." In the past, he did not win because he doesn't know anything. He did what he wants to do but the objectives aren't met.
They were being sent into different locations.
"Swamp Forest, Desert, and Sea Bay."
5 Black gowned commanders is watching the screens.
"Let's bet!"
