Levi is among the campers, glancing at intervals at the girl he has to kill. In order not to appear too suspicious, he begins to play with his backpack, waiting until the managers give directions.
A lady comes out of the group of managers, this lady is the only one of the managers who is not wearing armor, instead she wears gray pants and a gray shirt, covering herself with a blue robe.
This lady has long, straight black hair, on her right cheek you can see a small scar, under her eyes you can see large dark circles, revealing that the lady does not sleep much.
Levi noticed that in one of the lady's hands there is a small skull, Levi began to take the camp more seriously and not look down on these people.
Arriving in front of the children, the lady says. "I'll be in charge of teaching you the basics of potions for the first three days." The lady pauses briefly. "For the time being, please leave your things in the dorms and pick a bed, as you do go out, so we can start our first lesson on potions."
The campers followed the instructions of the lady.
Levi entered the bedroom. He would have to live with 37 children in the dormitory. Something that would cause him trouble getting out at night.
All the beds are in the same room.
Upon entering the room the boys begin to choose a bed, Levi just stays at the door, waiting for the others to finish to choose the bed farthest from the rest.
In the end there were a few beds left at the end of the room, Levi kept one. At the moment he has in mind the objective of assassination, causing him to completely forget to live with his companions.
Levi leaves his backpack of bones on the bed, then starts to leave the bedroom with the rest of the children.
All the campers when leaving observe a large number of tables.
These tables have a height of half a meter. They are tables that the manager will use to teach the campers about potions.
The lady looks that everyone is gathered, seeing that no one is missing she begins to speak. - I introduce myself, I'm Clay, I'll be your potions instructor during the camp. She starts to smile. - Each one of you will have to introduce yourself the way you like -.
The campers began to introduce themselves one by one, some tried to attract attention using magic during their introduction, most just made their spells fail. Seeing the boys perform magic, Clay watched them carefully, likewise the other managers watched them from the central building, everything was as Miller knew. Levi's turn came, he made a simple presentation to avoid attracting attention.
The campers finished introducing themselves.
Clay says. - Since we finished with the presentations we will begin. First each occupy a table -.
Since everyone has taken a table, Clay pulls out a necklace. She puts on the necklace.
Clay starts pulling a plant out of his necklace, each time he starts pulling more plants. Start by putting three copies of the same plant on each table.
Clay says. - We will start by studying a plant of grade 10. This plant is called black algae -. Clay begins to talk about the characteristics of the plant and how it should be prepared for the different categories of options.
Clay's class lasted half a day, the rest of the day the campers were free to do whatever they wanted.
Levi in a secluded corner was surveying the nearby terrain. He began to ponder "There aren't many trees around, so it will be difficult to set a trap in the day, plus I highly doubt they don't guard the camp at night", Levi sighs helplessly, "but if I make her move away from the camp, I might attract a beast to attack her", Levi grabs his head, starts to ruffle his hair, then slaps himself lightly, "I'll have to survey all the terrain 2km away from the camp before starting the operation", with this in mind Levi begins to walk to the west of the camp.
When Levi walks he finds a small river, he turns to the sides to see if someone was following him, making sure he was alone, he approaches a distance of two meters from the river. Being close, Levi notices a dark glow in the water, he approaches to find out what it is, when he is already half a meter from the water, he bends down to grab a stone, when he grabs it he moves away from the river again, being in a distance he considers safe, he throws the stone at the spot where the dark glow is.
The stone falls, there is no reaction, Levi sighs in relief, then slowly begins to approach again.
Levi enters the water, the river is not that deep, but for Levi's height, he was forced to have to swim.
Arriving at the place of the dark shine, Levi dives, he observes that what causes that shine is some kind of black pearl, he reflects on whether he should hold the pearl or not, it also crosses his mind that if he leaves it someone else could grab it. He doesn't think much of it, so he reaches out his hand to hold the pearl.
The pearl has a small reaction when he holds it, which Levi didn't notice. Within seconds of holding the pearl, it crumbles into dust in Levi's hand. He is disappointed when he sees this.
His disappointment didn't last long, he just thinks he wasn't lucky, he gets out of the water, takes off his wet shirt, begins to fold it to squeeze the water out of it.
About 100 meters from Levi, in the direction of the camp, there is the figure of a woman, this woman is watching Levi's movements, while calmly drinking coffee.
Levi does not know that a woman is watching him, he continues squeezing the shirt, seeing that no more water came out of the shirt, even so, it was still wet, he begins to look for some sticks not only to hang the shirt, but also your pants.
Levi begins to think about the pearl, but with his limited knowledge he would have no way of knowing what it is, so he decides to put this matter aside. He prepares everything to hang his clothes, he stays in boxers. I look for some dry branches and sticks to make a fire and make the clothes dry faster with the heat of the fire. At the end of everything, he begins to remember the details of the terrain he has explored.
He remembers that the separation of the trees from the terrain that I explore is approximately 8 meters for every 3 trees. "The separation of the trees will be a problem to set a trap, also, since we are close to the territory of the undead, most of the trees do not have leaves, it would also not serve for an ambush in the day. The moment I could seize to set a serious trap when it's not daytime, but it's also when the security of the camp increases, making it difficult to walk around the terrain. He sighs helplessly. "Another problem would be leading the target into the trap." Look at the sky that has a red and blue color combination, trying to find some inspiration. "I'll have to improvise if I don't find a way to do it." He directs his gaze towards the campfire with a thought "Maybe he thinks I can't do it, so when I fail he won't blame me, but". His thought is interrupted when he hears footsteps around him. He takes a defensive stance, but instantly remembers that he is near the camp and there are people protecting the campers in the dark, he suddenly thinks "Maybe they are watching me right now", but instantly he stops thinking about this and He concentrated on the footsteps that were heard getting closer, then a thought came to his mind "Maybe it's other campers", thinking this he puts on his pants quickly, since he doesn't want anyone to see him half-naked.
Levi could only put on his pants when he saw the figures in the distance. It could be seen that these figures were the girls participating in the camp. Seeing them Levi felt relieved, however, this relief did not last long because he saw how a girl began to recite a ball of water, which he threw at her. Levi was shocked and couldn't react. The water ball hits Levi in the chest sending him flying a distance of 3 meters, leaving him in pain on the ground.
The group of girls approach him.
A girl from the group steps forward.
This girl has black hair, two pigtails, dark purple shorts, with a gray shirt. His skin is white, on his skin you can see some kind of purple vein, but these have a strange characteristic, they seem like small streams of water, however, instead of water, what runs through them is blood or so Levi thinks. This girl approaches Levi and tells him. - You are the one that is harassing one of my friends.
Levin resists the pain and answers him. -What are you talking about-.
The girl says. - Do not play the innocent, she has noticed your constant glances.
Levi begins to understand who he means. Apparently he was not careful enough to avoid these events. He promises to try to improve in the future so that it doesn't happen again.
Levi can't think of anything to say, after all he's only 8 years old and it's the first time he lives with people his age. Not knowing what to say, he tells a lie. - If you mean the blonde-haired girl, I looked at her constantly, because I saw an ant in her ear. This was the best Levi could come up with, cause it will also be his downfall.
The girl says with a smile on her face. - You don't even give a good excuse. Do you not know that there are no insects and beasts within a radius of 13 km from the camp?
Levi gulps, he could only curse Miller with all his might at this point. When camp was over, he decided to get Miller in trouble for not telling him this kind of information.
The group of girls begin to clench their fists. Preparing to hit Levi.
Levi says to try to calm the girls down. - I am sorry. I won't do it again. It was not my intention -.
He could hit the girls, but Miller's words "Don't expose your strength" are constantly heard in his mind, with this in mind, the only thing he could do is apologize.
The girl says. - You will not do it again -. She pauses a long time to end her words with a smile. - Because we will break your bones, so that you spend all the time in bed in the camp -.
Listening to her, Levi stands up resisting the pain, runs towards the campfire, while he does this, a few girls are preparing their spells and the rest are looking for stones to throw at them. He takes the hostility of the girls seriously, when he reaches the campfire, he grabs the branches and sticks that are still burning. He starts throwing them all at the girl with purple veins, because the one he thinks is the leader. Seeing that the girl was throwing branches and sticks from the campfire at her, she decides to run towards the river, stopping reciting the water spell, which was a mistake on the part of the girl, because not reciting a spell without experience would cause a explosion of the spell, which would deal damage, depending on the strength of the spell. The spell explodes splashing the girl and three of her companions with water, this small explosion caused a chain reaction, that is because two of the companions that the explosion of the spell reached were reciting their own spells and their concentration disappeared receiving the small explosion. It was a chain reaction, making all the girls suffer for themselves.
All the girls ended up with a few bruises, however, this is because even if a basic spell explodes, no matter how weak it is or what element it is, it will at least deal some damage to the caster.
The girls were crying from receiving several explosions and consequently some blows, on the other hand, Levi did not stay to see the show, he had collected his things at the first explosion and ran from the place, in the direction of the camp and the person who was watching Levi was laughing at the girls.
She says. - So this is my son. Miller told me he's an interesting boy. The woman begins to think about Miller "I hope he finishes his work quickly".
In the camp there was a group of children performing a small demonstration of their magic, when one of them tells everyone to turn in one direction. The boys turned around, all they could see is Levi running as if his life depended on it.
Levi didn't stop when he saw the boys, he went straight to the bedroom, but touching the door handle, he realized that would be very stupid "If I go into the bedroom, I'll just have to expect a beating for locking myself in. I'll have to find another place, but there's only one dead tree near the camp." Levi begins to hate the camp. He doesn't think much and runs to the back of the managers' building, he doesn't stop there, he goes into the forest again, hoping that the girls don't follow him.
Unfortunately for Levi, he didn't expect the girls to be very stubborn.
It was already night, the girls were still chasing Levi, they even made small squads, they also made small spears, with stones and resistant sticks.
Levi was up in a tree watching the girls go by, "Damn, when are they going to give up? And why are they using spears? Isn't that cheating?"
The managers of course couldn't relax, they created a perimeter to keep everyone safe and there would be no outside interference.
Some keepers tried to stop the girls earlier when they arrived at the camp, but the two women who are keepers refused and decided to support the girls with their revenge. Not even the one wearing the crimson armor could go against one of them, this is because one of them was his superior and a blue-spirited cyber-mage, who has been a disciple of one of the high command of the "Walkers".
(Power levels.
-Magician: Novice, Beginner, Advanced, in these first three levels only those who are barely having contact with mana enter, where they learn the basics, such as the campers who had to use spears or throw stones at Levi, for example, Levi already After passing these three levels, he is already an apprentice Magician, since he can perform different basic spells and already has better mana compression, this applies equally to the purple-veined girl. Continuing with the levels of the mage are: Apprentice, Initiate, Disciple, Adept, Master, Oracle, Archmage, Great mage, Nirvana mage, Ethereal mage, Grandmaster of magic and Master of mana.
-Cyber-warrior. They use technology to integrate characteristics of different species into their bodies, but this is not the main reason for their strength, when they become cyber-warriors, empires or powerful families use magic or machines to implant a chip in their souls. that allows them to evolve after constant battles, also causing mutations in their bodies without the need to implant characteristics of other species, one of the main characteristics of the chip is that it allows the warrior to use psionic energy upon reaching a certain level, another characteristic of the cyber-warriors is their great use of technological weapons and their rapid learning in martial arts. The levels or ranks of the cyber-warriors are: Novice, Fighter, Warrior, Vorse Warrior, Great Warrior, Psionic Warrior, Apprentice of War, Master of War and God of War.
-Cyber-Wizard. They can make their spirit visible when fighting, also their spirit will have a different form. This is because they can use psionic energy without having to have a chip implanted in their soul and they have to have a certain level of strength and knowledge, as well as their great ability to handle mana. They can be called the most troublesome warriors due to their diversity of attacks, but this does not make them invincible. They are classified by spirit, not level or rank: Brown Spirit, Green Spirit, Blue Spirit, Yellow Spirit, Orange Spirit, Black Spirit, Gray Spirit, White Spirit, and Star Spirit. The spirit of the stars, is when in the spirit you can see stars, as if you were looking at the stars at night.)
Levi was still in the tree, waiting for his moment to move, then he looks at a familiar figure. This figure belongs to the girl who started it all. Levi watches the girl's movements carefully.
The girl walks slowly looking around her, without looking up. Levi sighs in relief, causing him to drop his guard. The girl keeps her head down, she begins to recite a spell in a low voice, Levi doesn't know what the girl is trying to do by muttering, when suddenly the girl throws 2 fireballs at Levi, he barely reacts and jumps from the tree, when from his left three water balls are directed, he couldn't dodge the water balls in the air, still, he does his best to take the damage with his left arm. Upon receiving the impact, he shoots out, taking advantage of the momentum, he starts to run, but in the direction he ran, a 2-meter stone wall stands up, preventing his passage. Upon seeing him, he decides to flee in another direction, but the girls already knew about his location and had a plan prepared to finish him off in an attack.
Behind Levi some vines rise trying to hold him, he barely dodges the vines, enduring the pain caused earlier, but this does not end here, because to his right several girls were seen running with spears, he tried to flee to the left, but the situation was the same, he only had to flee the way he came, only he didn't think that the girls would take advantage of his moment of doubt to raise another wall in the direction he came from.
Levi was left with no options, left or right, there was also the option to risk and reveal his strength, but his inexperience made him hesitate too much. Before he knew it, the girls raised another wall to his right and to the left several magical projectiles could be seen. In the end the girls won.
Levi was on the ground with several blows, luckily the managers took the spears from the girls, even so, they beat him furiously until they got tired.
The managers took Levi to a room in their building.
The ones who stayed with Levi in the room were the two female managers.
Clay tells the other manager. - Leader, what should we do in this situation? -.
The leader says. - Any. You didn't hear the girls say he's a stalker. Just leave this matter like that. We just have to keep him alive.
Clay says in a respectful voice. - Understand -.
The two who stayed didn't know that something was happening inside Levi's mind since he fell unconscious.
------- In Levi's mind --------
Levi "Where am I". He looks around him, the only thing he can find is an infinite darkness. Time goes by. It seems like an eternity for him, not knowing what to do he starts walking.
Being a place with absolute darkness, Levi didn't know if he was moving forward or if there would be an end to the road.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, until he heard a voice. - We meet again -.
Levi freaks out hearing the sudden voice.
Levi says. - Who are you? -.
The mysterious voice says. - You had me in your hands until recently. Don't you remember? -.
Levi remembers when he held the pearl and says. - You are the pearl.
The pearl says - Indeed, I am the pearl that you held in your hand, but I am also someone who is dead. Levi is stunned, the pearl continues talking. - What you held was a pearl that contained my dark heritage. You are not the first to hold the pearl, however, you are the only one who has been able to obtain my inheritance -.
Levi cuts him off and says. - What kind of inheritance? -.
The pearl says - I could not tell you. I don't know how many years, decades, centuries, millennia have passed since my death. I can only tell you that this inheritance will unite your mind, soul and heart. Making you improve your learning ability. Not only this, you will be able to upgrade your body using mana, just like you would with a potion, you will also be able to store more mana in your body. Only the only drawback is that you will have to be a pure magician. You know what I mean? -.
Levi says. - Get rid of the psionic energy I have -.
The pearl says - Exactly. You can't be a cyber-wizard. So I ask you, will you accept my heritage and forsake the opportunity to purify your spirit? -.
Levi says without much thought. - Of course. Also, I want to kill two cyber-wizards at all costs and I'll do it my way.
The pearl says - Perfect. Your body will begin to undergo changes, but don't worry, only you will notice them, there is also another benefit, you can change species by taking someone's blood and you will obtain the characteristics of that species and you will abandon the characteristics of the species that you have at the moment -.
Levi says before he starts. - Can I take the one for two people? -.
The pearl says - In your case that you are a hybrid yes-.
Levi is glad to hear it.
The pearl says - You will be unconscious for a while, when you wake up you will continue to have the same maturity as at the moment, so that you are not disappointed when you wake up.
Levi nods in compression.
The pearl begins to pass the inheritance to Levi, he is left unconscious.
------------ Back to the world ------------------
It took 4 days for Levi's body changes to end.
He opens his eyes slowly. He starts moving his hands.
The manager who was in the room sitting in a chair near the window observes that Levi begins to move his hands. She says. - It took 4 days for you to open your eyes. Get out when you can. She leaves without saying anything else.
Levi takes his time.
He begins to concentrate to feel the changes in his body. It took a short time to observe his body, he could not notice any change. The disappointment showed on his face, even so, this disappointment did not last long, he still had to complete his mission.
Levi finally leaves the room. The one waiting for him outside the room is the man with the crimson armor, he didn't talk to Levi, he just raised his hand in one direction, Levi understood what the man wanted.
The man guided Levi to the exit without letting him deviate.
Levi leaves the building. When you leave, look how the other campers are observing some metals on the tables. He decides not to go with them, instead going to the place where he found the pearl, hoping to find more.
The girl who started the fight with him, watched in which direction he went.
Levi calmly walked towards the river.
On the way there were no obstacles, however, he was surprised by something. Apparently his ability to perceive was increased. He managed to know that his perception improved when he realized that someone was following him, but he decided to continue as if nothing had happened. It was at that moment when he quickly remembered the attack from a few days ago, he began to think that it would be easier to escape the girls' attack by being able to notice someone from further away.
He reached the river without his pursuer showing himself.
He stood for a few minutes waiting for his pursuer to show himself. Sure enough, his pursuer showed up.
The one following him was the girl from days ago.
Levi turns to see the girl, she starts walking towards him.
A great hostility could be seen in the girl's gaze, Levi was on guard waiting for the attack. However, another girl appeared. This girl is Levi's target.
She holds the girl who chased after Levi and tells her. - Let's go back. It is not worth wasting time with these types of people -.
The pursuer calmed down and left with the other girl, without starting another fight.
Levi breathes a sigh of relief, but he also gets angry, because he was branded as a stalker.
The night has come.
Levi was swimming in the river all afternoon hoping to get another pearl, he found nothing.
He gets out of the water disappointed and does the same as last time to dry his clothes.
When putting things, he stares at the campfire, at the moment he begins to reflect on the time he lost these four days unconscious. "I think it's time to make the plan." With that in mind, wait for the clothes to dry, since wearing only boxers will not be able to do anything.
