Alpha communicated by thought transference, as they marked their targets in the large crowd and having an estimate was not the proper way to gather information. but because they had no idea how large each aristocratic teen brought with them, they were sure the group of aristocratic teens were nine, and all available calculations must be accounted from maids, staff, and frontline bodyguards, including the hidden ones concealed among the crowds,
Beta wanted the collective to gather data on those nine but Alpha and Echo hesitated saying that informing the collective was something that would tarnish their position and reputation among those who follow them, as it would imply a lack of control and knowledge on their part. They believed it was better to handle the situation discreetly, relying on their own resources and connections to gather information about the aristocratic teens.
The two believed that maintaining secrecy and discretion would ensure their continued influence and honor within the group. However, Beta argued that without accurate information, it would be impossible to effectively strategize and make informed decisions. Ultimately, they agreed to discreetly gather data while minimizing any potential damage to their standing among those aristocratic teens and teach them a lesson without creating a huge scandal that might put their master to shame. Beta suggested subtly observing the teens' activities and interactions, gathering evidence to expose their deceitful behavior. Alpha agreed, acknowledging that a well-executed plan would not only teach the teens a lesson but also protect their master's reputation and authority.
And it would be foolish to think that they were stronger, Ramiel never underestimated his enemy no matter the reason; he told them that some enemies will act weak and never show their true power, but this being can still kill you by just using their knowledge and never needed to display their power, Ramiel was still young in fighting experience but because he never forgets and instantly remembers everything that he encounters,
his mind was calculating and created an approach that was realistic and logical. all of the stored knowledge within the collective was so vast but it still lacked the correct formula in handling many situations, making it difficult for them to effectively utilize their power. However, Ramiel's unique ability to quickly process information and apply it practically gave him an advantage over others. With his strategic thinking and comprehensive understanding of various situations, he became a formidable force despite his limited fighting experience.
but all those who were linked to the collective still needed to comprehend and understand these, Ramiel gave them the freedom to choose what they needed to understand and learn from it and created their own path, much information stored in the collective was about the accumulated wisdom and personal experience of all of them, it was similar to the earth world wide web, nearly a million data are stored and they can access it freely as they are part of it like Ramiel who was the administrator of the collective core and he alone restricted certain information that might ruin the world they live in and he even closed the part of his human pass,
the only information allowed was the knowledge he gained under the teachings of his two mothers, Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao and lastly, his teacher Trazgallen Villmarine Ber'gith, who is more focused on being a true warrior who has dedicated their life not to harm others and only to use your fighting sills to protect the ones they love, and to preserve the desire to be a better person in all aspect of life, including mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. These teachings instilled in him a deep sense of honor and integrity, guiding his actions both on and off the battlefield. He understood that true strength lies not only in physical prowess but also in compassion and empathy towards others who have a similar mindset as him,
Ramiel never forgot that emotions can also be a weapon against yourself. as they can cloud judgment and hinder personal growth. He learned to channel his emotions in a constructive way, using them as fuel for self-improvement rather than allowing them to consume him. This mindset allowed him to navigate challenges with resilience and maintain a clear focus on his goals. In his mind, fighting for a personal reason was like walking on a tightrope; one wrong move could lead to a disastrous fall. He sought out individuals who shared his belief in the power of emotional intelligence and surrounded himself with like-minded people who understood the importance of maintaining a balanced mindset. That is why the miasma, which was filled with numerous souls of the dead, became an unconscious decision. He never expected that cleansing the miasma and purifying the souls was the very thing he needed.
As the miasma evolved into a living, free-moving entity and named it a symbiote because of a particular comic character he knew, the trio recalled all of this, and they now understood why Ramiel trusted them so much because they were somewhat similar but at the same time different from the rest. They didn't even notice they were all changing and had already become Homunculus.
because some symbiotes require extreme mental and energy control over their physical form, many of them appeared to be made of clay or to be in a state of constant flux. This is because, when they were living, they were just regular people from the working class who were never given the chance to learn about energy and mana control.
This made the trio realize that their transformation into Homunculus was not a coincidence but rather a deliberate choice by Ramiel to bring together individuals who possessed unique qualities and potential. As they embraced their new identities, they felt a sense of purpose and belonging, unlike anything they had experienced before.
They relied too much on the collective; they knew they had their own unique skills and abilities that set them apart. With newfound confidence, they began to explore and recall the individual skill sets that they earned while they were still alive, pushing the boundaries of what they thought was possible. They understood that, by embracing their uniqueness,
Alpha was born predator, but being a savage and strong being was worth nothing if she couldn't adapt to the changing environment. She realized that survival required more than just brute strength, so she started honing his intelligence, learning new skills, and watching how his master conducted his own approach to dealing with enemies. Alpha recognized that survival demanded a strategic mindset and the ability to acquire new knowledge. As she observed her master's approach to dealing with enemies, she grasped the importance of studying their tactics and weaknesses, which further enhanced her own adaptability and prowess in the ever-evolving environment. This transformation allowed Alpha to rise above his primal instincts and become a formidable force in the ever-evolving world.
In her eyes, those arrogant aristocratic teens were nothing more than potential adversaries to be studied and outmaneuvered. She knew that their privileged upbringing had shielded them from the harsh realities of the world, giving her a distinct advantage in their encounters. With each interaction, Alpha honed her skills of observation and manipulation, using their ignorance against them to further solidify her position as his kings guard,
Alpha understood that her role as the king's guard required not only physical prowess but also a deep understanding of human psychology. She recognized that her opponents' arrogance and aristocratic background made them susceptible to manipulation, allowing her to exploit their weaknesses and gain the upper hand in any situation. With each encounter, Alpha grew more confident in her ability to navigate the complex dynamics of power, cementing her position as an indispensable asset to the king.
