Special Bloodlines

FULL MARKS? I asked my dad once when he was telling me details of the trial whether anyone has ever scored full marks in the fourth trial. He said that there never can possibly be a person who could score full marks unless it was under special circumstances. I asked him what those circumstances were. He hesitated for a bit and decided to tell me about these special circumstances.

There are many special bloodlines of humans that have special abilities that normal humans can't have. Normal humans can only master some special attacks of some races because of their adaptability. But these humans could do things beyond such limitations. Such bloodlines are very special to the annihilator army of humanity.

I asked my dad how that related to the fourth trial.

The fourth trial is a question that only those from special bloodlines can answer. Even the captains don't know it. Only the master does. Even he can't fully comprehend it. That is why no one other than those from special bloodlines can get full marks.

I didn't really understand it then but I understood it now. I also knew the question which was meant for those with special bloodlines.

It was the one that brought back those memories. One might argue that there is no right answer to such a question. But only those with a special bloodline knew the one correct answer. There was a correct answer to that question? It was hard to imagine. It would have been easy for me to act at that time if I knew the correct answer to this question. Alright, guys, I think that it's about time that you get to know about one of the most traumatic experiences in my life.

I was 12 years old and was 2 years into my dad's training. I was used to the daily torment of the unbelievable number of push-ups I did and the miles I ran. I had very few friends as everyone was scared of my monster strength. But one day two kids my age came and tried to make friends with me. One was Michelle and the other was Jake. They started following me in my runs but gave up after about 200 meters.

They started hanging around with me every single day. At first, I was skeptical. But as time flew, we were friends before we knew it. After my practice, I would go with them and have fun in the forest with them.

Their parents had strictly forbidden them from going to the forest but I assured them that they had nothing to be afraid of as long as I was there. They believed me. We were like this for 2 years. We went to each other's birthday parties. One day when we were in the forest playing hide and seek a group of men surrounded us. I asked the two of them to stay behind me. Several of them rushed toward me and I beat them all up. But I had unconsciously drifted away from the vicinity of my only two friends. Then, one of those men sneaked behind me and held two guns to their heads.

Although I was extremely fast, I wasn't fast enough to save them from a bullet. Then, they asked me to stay on the ground and keep my hands where I could see them. I did as they told me to. By the time I looked up, I was the only one there. I ran around the forest at full speed but found no one. Then I ran home and told my dad. I cried for hours. The other parents were informed and they talked to the police. They thoroughly scolded my dad without knowing that he was an annihilator. Of course, he didn't abuse his powers and instead apologized to them. after two weeks they were found in an abandoned warehouse. They were tied up and scared. The kidnappers were arrested. Michelle's and Jake's parents moved away from the city so that they wouldn't have a chance to meet me. I have heartbroken. I didn't even get a chance to apologize.

I was still depressed due to this. My dad came near me. I thought that he was going to scold me but instead for a while, he just sat silently next to me.
