"My God!" The Commander exclaimed, his voice sharp with disbelief.
Displayed on the hologram was a live feed from the rainforest, a horrifying spectacle unfolding before their eyes. Zain, drenched in blood, was locked in a brutal struggle with a four-armed tiger. The creature, a monstrous beast, was a whirlwind of claws and teeth, but Zain moved with a terrifying speed and agility, a whirlwind of emerald fury. He crashed into the tiger like a battering ram, but the beast was cunning, sidestepping the attack and raking Zain's chest with its razor-sharp claws. Zain recoiled, his body jolting back from the impact.
"Shit! What is that guy?" Chris muttered, his voice laced with awe.
"Isn't that a B-ranked monster?" Emily, a Pentagon member with a captivating blend of beauty and calculating intelligence, spoke, her voice calm but her eyes wide with shock.
"I don't think he'll survive that," a student whispered, his voice trembling.
"But look at the kills he's already made! And with his bare hands!" another student exclaimed, his voice filled with a mixture of fear and fascination.
The realization that dawned upon them sent a chill down their spines. This wasn't just a fight; it was a slaughter. Zain was a butcher, a whirlwind of death and destruction.
"It's an A-ranked monster," the Commander confirmed, his voice grave.
The Commander's words echoed through the room, leaving the students stunned. Their eyes were glued to the hologram, witnessing the carnage unfold. Zain, battered and bruised, was no match for the ferocious beast. The tiger lunged, its jaws snapping shut inches from Zain's face. But then, something unexpected happened. The tiger froze, its eyes widening in fear, as if sensing an overwhelming aura of power emanating from Zain.
Zain, his emerald eyes burning with a ferocious bloodlust, slowly rose to his feet, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. "How dare you, you filthy cat!" he roared, his voice a guttural growl.
With a blur of motion, Zain launched himself at the tiger. The attack was a whirlwind of speed and precision. The tiger, caught completely off guard, had no time to react. Zain landed a devastating blow to the creature's neck, snapping its spine with a sickening crunch. Then, with a graceful twist of his body, he delivered a spinning back kick that shattered the tiger's skull. The beast crumpled to the ground, lifeless.
Zain stood over the fallen beast, his eyes still burning with a primal rage. He turned and looked directly into the hidden camera, a chilling smile playing on his lips. Then, with a weary sigh, he collapsed onto the forest floor, exhaustion finally overcoming him.
The students watched in stunned silence, their hearts pounding. Even the Commander, a seasoned veteran, felt a shiver run down his spine. 'What has General Garry unleashed upon the academy?' he thought, a sense of unease settling over him.
He cleared his throat, regaining his composure. "Students," he said, his voice firm, "I will retrieve Zain from the forest. Until then, prepare for the test."
The students, still reeling from what they had witnessed, nodded numbly. "Yes, sir," they replied, their voices barely audible.
The incident had left an indelible mark on their minds. They had just witnessed a display of raw power and brutality that defied all expectations. Zain, the enigmatic newcomer, had revealed a terrifying glimpse of his true nature, leaving them both awestruck and terrified.
