"Tap." "Tap." "Tap."
The sound of soft footstwp hitting the ground echoed through the silent environment. But with every foot step that rang, the tension in the atmosphere seem to thicken by a fold.
The footstep paused and the fog of nuclear energy in the distance was softly cleared by the gentle wind, fainlty revealing the figure of the intruder.
It was a young man much older than the four first-year students fighting over the body of the beast. Erian along with Reitha, Seira and Dion felt a slightly uncomfortable feeling in their chest but as their eyes glanced towards the chest of the intruder, their expressions changed, turning extremely solemn as they stared coldly at the new comer.
Two flaming fist! It was actually a second year student!
'What the hell is a second year student doing here!?' The four first-year student thought almost at the same time.
The missions of first-year, second-year and third-year students were widely different and far off. They were given a particular zone where they mustn't cross. Take the center if the city for example. It was where the most danger within the city. The surrounding 700 miles radius is of course is allocated to the third-year students.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile the outer edges of the city center is allocated to the second-year students to handle. First-year students were made to handle to edges of the city where there isn't much danger. Of course they could die if they are one but careless, but it was better than been near the center of the city.
Right now, the four students were still within their Zone, about a few thousand miles away from the supposed second-year zone. The third-year student who had killed the beast was most likely there to clear the monster since it's level was way higher than the supposed level.
But the appearance of a second-year student doesn't spell anything good. He's most likely also interested in the body of the monster. The organs of beast with a supergene had been enriched by massive amount of nuclear energy, evolving them to Mutagenic Organs.
This organs can be sold for alrge amounts and are used for various purpose. The most common purpose is by mixing them with herbs and other ingredients to create different types of serum that are used to either increase one's strength, nuclear capacity or even nuclear pulse talent!
If one could find at least three Mutagenic organ within the body of the dead Deviant, one could purchase Evolution serums and relax for three months instead of practicing daily.
"That was disappointing. I was really expecting to see a show." The soft voice of a young man apparently filled with dissatisfaction echoed.
The fog of nuclear energy suddenly swirled as they were absorbed by the second year student through his pores. The pupils of the four first-year students constricted witnessing such fine controls of the three main waves.
As the fog cleared, the appearance of the second-year student was finally revealed.
The young man's purple hair floated in the air as though the gravity around his was non existence. His eyebrows were relaxed but his crimson eyes shone brightly. But instead of his eyes to absorb light, it looked as though his eyes reflected the surrounding light instead, making it glow slightly.
An evil smirk settled upon his face, and he didn't bother hiding his killing intent the moment he arrived.
The situation had turned extremely grave as the four first-year students were now filled with caution, but none of them spoke first.
Erian's eyebrows twitched as be sensed dangers rippling off the bodybif the new comer. He knew fighting over the corpse was a lost cause and since he had given up already, he naturally would stick to his decision.
Erian gaze lingerie for a moment before he turned around and took a step forwards.
"I don't think I gave you the permission to leave."
Erian's eyes squinted as he stopped dead in his tracks. As though he didn't dare move a single step. Wasn't this guy purposely making things difficult for him? Or for what reason would he want him to stay?
"Since you are here, we naturally wouldn't fight you over the corpse. I see no reason why you would keep me here." Erian opened his mouth and spoke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe young man's smile widened, his eyes glaring a sinister light as he spoke. "Do you think I am that shamless? I'm not so unreasonable as to steal things from my juniors. How about this, the three of you attack me together, if one of your attack touches me, the corpse of the monster is yours."
"Are you telling the truth senior?" Seira's blinked her eyes cutely as she asked.
"Of course!"
Reitha didn't seem to buy his words. Her frown deepened, she stared at Dion and Erian from the corner of her eyes and saw that they also didn't seem to buy the words of the third-year student.
From the murderous waves rippling through his body, they knew this young man is extremely blood thirsty and definitely wouldn't let go of the opportunity to kill them if he could.
While they were confident he couldn't kill all of them, they were most afraid of his Supergene, just like the Atomic Breath. In what form the ability was, their bodies aren't strong enough to withstand a single attack and would be killed the instant they came into contact with it
"Non of us practice War-God Rage, therefore absorbing our blood wouldn't improve your gene by much." Dion suddenly spoke, shedding all form of pretenses and went straight to the pain point.
The senior paused for a moment and gave Dion a sidelong glance then, he let out a heartened laughter that sent chills through the spines of the four students.
"Hmm, deserving to be called Elites. You know about the Blood Devour curse of War-God rage manual. But do you think lying to me will work?"
He walked towards a rubble, bent down and picked up handfull of sand, pouring it softly to the ground as he continued. "I spent most of my wealth buying this device."
