Does any death give me Genus and LifeSkills? It's not just because of extinctions and killing a God?
The only Genus and LifeSkills he acquired were from those two very dramatic and once-in-a-lifetime events. He thought he'd only get Genus and LifeSkills from those kinds of circumstances.
He didn't think he'd get it from just killing one monster.
Sure, the Genus only had a 1-star rarity while the LifeSkill was only F class, but the fact that he was able to acquire them was groundbreaking in and of itself.
He was already an anomaly because he had two LifeSkills, one of which had a specialty that wasn't supposed to exist at all.
Now, he had two jobs in the Vanguard Specialty. A DPS and a Mage.
Can I get more?
Atlan knew he was being greedy, but he couldn't help but think of the possibilities.
He walked towards the next poor soul who was just waiting to be released from their eternal suffering. I'm not killing them, I'm freeing them, he reminded himself.
He kept doing the dirty work, killing the blue monstrous arthropods that were frozen in place.
He had trouble wielding the sword properly at the start, but he got better and used the edge of the blade now.
He kept Yasmine's words to heart. He kept targeting their weak point.
Pseudo Canzers who had their wings open were easy to kill. He only had to place the tip of the blade in the right position and push with minimal strength.

However, not all of them had their weak points exposed quite easily. Some were frozen in their defensive positions, defending from the attacks of the Saviors that tried to kill them.
They were harder to kill.
His novice way with the sword hindered his killing–no, the liberation of the monsters trapped in their suffering.
He had to spend minutes trying to wedge his sword in the weak points. Most of the time, he missed and nicked the carapace of the monster.
He remembered how Yasmine skillfully pierced through the monsters with ease and grace, with each strike as precise as her steps to avoid the other monsters trying to hit her.
He was far from her skill. Very far.
But he couldn't help it. He had never held any kind of weapon before, much less a sword.
Am I just that bad? Or maybe I just need a different weapon…
As he dealt with the rest of the Pseudo Canzers, he was disappointed to see that it didn't give him any additional genus or LifeSkills.
He didn't know if that monster was just different, or if the acquisition of the Genus and the LifeSkill depended on some type of luck.
"Hey, Atlan. Are you finished over there?" Neumann called out to him. "You've been doing that for hours, kid."
Atlan finally looked back and saw that most of the Saviors had already left the Remedium. The only ones left were him, Neumann, Wemby, and Oliver.
He didn't even notice that the time passed.
"Sorry. I got too absorbed."
"Newbie, it's good that you're so enthusiastic, but it's good to relax too man," Wemby said and Oliver agreed.
"We should go soon. Those Quills are going to get ticked off when they see the Remedium still open this late," Wemby added.
"It's bad if we stay in the Remedium?"
"It's not bad that we stay in the Remedium. It's bad that the Remedium stays open because we're here too long.
If we stay here for another day or so, there's going to be some adverse effects in the real world. We're gonna get more than a reprimand if that happens."
Atlan didn't know that keeping the Training Hall open would be so bad. He was planning on staying here and killing more monsters, but that's not possible.
He then noticed that there was just one more Pseudo Canzer left still standing.
He was going to kill it and then leave.
"Can I come back here tomorrow?"
"Look at our newbie, all excited," Wemby commented.
Neumann nodded. "Yes. you can–it's highly encouraged especially since you're going to receive your reward in a week."
Reward?
Wemby saw Atlan's head tilt and laughed. "You won the competition, man. Of course, you're going to get a reward, kukuku."
"I don't know if you will consider this a reward, but this is something that all of us envy and want.
Next week, you're going to be assigned to a mission in the Remedium–your very first."
Atlan didn't know how to feel about that.
"Don't get worried, newbie. Your first mission is going to be very easy, just in the 1st stage Student difficulty.
And you don't have to fight the Canzers. Your teammates are going to be the ones to do that. The only thing you need to do is be a Porter.
If something bad does happen, the worst thing that could happen is just a little bit of injury.
Never fear. The Angels are always there to save your life."
…that wasn't comforting at all.
Atlan subconsciously raised his sword and stabbed the final Pseudo Canzer that was still left alive. It easily slipped past its carapace and pierced through its innards, killing it instantly.
