Chương 17: Chapter 17: Treating Softly

Keon confidently performed a killing spree against the rock monsters. Killing humans would be seen as a bad thing but if the ones you are killing are monsters, humans would even praise you

It would be seen as doing humanity a favor and the other orphans with Keon would surely have a better impression on him. Not only did Keon showed exemplary calm and leadership, but his fighting strength is also not to be underestimated

With the help of his sword and cards, Keon managed to kill a few monsters in just a matter of minutes. However, his eyes soon widened by what he had seen

Using his peripheral vision, Keon saw one of the orphans was punched directly into the head by one of the rock monsters. If it's just that, Keon won't be surprised but the effect of that punch was too gory!

The orphan's whole head exploded like a watermelon causing a bloody and fleshy mess to flew everywhere

Keon thought that the military was just testing them, how come there is already one person dead among them after just a few minutes?

Could this not be actually a test but a real attack from the monsters or is the government weeding out the weak?

'No, that shouldn't be the case. We might be orphans but if words got out that orphans died in the first day after being sent to the military, this wouldn't have a good outcome '

There is already a problem about orphans not wanting to cultivate as they don't want to be sent into the Hunter Department. If they really died after arriving for only some tens of minutes, won't this just discourage more orphans?

Most of the strong Mystics came from government officials and powerful clans. They made up the majority of those at the top of the pyramid but they can't do everything by themselves

Normal people without any kind of background are still the majority of professional mystics. Without them, humanity will simply collapse

The government won't make such an idiotic move. Even if they want to weed out the weak, they wouldn't kill them this early

The possibility of this being a real monster attack is also low. If monsters are currently threatening this camp then what's with these small and weak monsters that the orphans are facing?

This only left one huge possibility and Keon soon regained his calm. "This must be an illusion"

Keon is smart and he can guess that this is the government testing them. However, it doesn't mean that other orphans are stupid. Some of them must have realized it too

If that's the case then they will perform well since the threat of death is actually absent. But after seeing one of them die, their true self will reveal itself. Those who are originally unafraid would be scared to death

"Y-you! How dare you kill our comrades!"

Keon heard a furious shout and when he looks at the source, he saw Nath that was filled with so much anger his whole body was trembling

There are currently three swords of light hovering above Nath but the angrier he looks, the more swords were forming

"Could this be ... spiral power?" Keon thought to himself while looking at the multiplying light swords

Nath is powerful but aside from the monstrous Gabe and Mady, all the other orphans are still Level 1 Mystics. They don't have enough mystic energy to imitate what Nath is currently doing

The only plausible explanation was this Nath is actually using spiral power

"His sense of justice is really high, a comrade's death even enabled him to use spiral power"

As of now, there are already six light swords above Nath and from the looks of things, he can even increase their number

Deciding that he can't just do nothing, Keon decided to speak again

"Everyone! We don't have many interactions with each other yet but we are attending the same Hunter Camp. We are already comrades and we can't just let our people die like this. Let us protect each other's backs and kill these monsters!" Keon shouted heroically and the orphans' morale rose

The most famous people within this group are Gabe and Mady for their raw power but both of them cold. Next to them was Nath that is using spiral power and genuinely cares about fellow humans

The last one of them was Keon, if this is really a test then he is performing excellently. It was already visible that he has a high level of leadership since he can give the orphans this high morale

Keon places his sword in front of him before two cards appeared on its side

The cards turned red and blue in color before Keon uses them to increase the attacking power of his sword

A crimson flame burned in Keon's sword while flashes of electricity were swimming with the flames energetically

Keon slashed and slashed his sword until his arms felt numb. Despite the high morale, the enemies are constantly replenishing their numbers

The orphans killed and killed the monsters but more will appear to continue attacking them. It comes to the point the orphans are already numb at seeing that and they fell one by one

Soon, only four remained and they are the rising stars of these twenty orphans

Mady was on one side constantly shooting out flames from her lotus flower but her condition was already not looking good. Around her were several craters and large pieces of rocks that were the aftermath of her fight

If she fought with the other orphans, they would really die faster. Just look at how numerous and deep those craters are! Even if these weak Level 1 Mystics uses all of their mystic energy, they still can't make craters like that

If Mady was already in that condition what more for the other three?

The water that Gabe was controlling significantly lessened and his movements are already sluggish. Keon can't even use any cards again and is barely managing to maintain the energy in his sword

The only person that was still lively was Nath. He was controlling the light swords that he made and uses them to slash and slash the rock monsters

His face was reflecting his unyielding personality but his vitality is already weakening. Sure, spiral power can give the user access to power they don't originally have but it's not like it is free

After all, the user is still using more powers than their bodies can usually use. It is putting a huge burden on their bodies

It was not uncommon for people that use spiral power to die afterward

Fortunately, when the four were badly beaten like this, the rock monsters stop attacking them

A wave of power spreads around and the next thing that the four saw was that the orphans that are already 'dead' are standing again but all of them have a puzzled look on their faces

The traces of fighting were still present in their surroundings but those that are supposedly dead came back to life

Seeing these people are alive, a smile formed in Nath's face before his body gave out and he loses consciousness. He forced his body too much earlier and it isn't a surprise that he would pass out like this

Despite the tiredness in his body, Keon still runs towards Nath's side and checked his condition. This was an additional reputation point for him!

Soon, an old woman arrives and with a wave of her hand, the orphans' bodies glowed with a green light and they can feel their strength returning back at them

The orphans didn't dare make a sound and just look at her. Some of them were still clueless about what is currently happening but some of them already realize things

Sure enough, the sound of hands clapping with each other suddenly appeared. The orphans didn't even sense that aside from the old woman, there are three more people that appeared

The one in the middle was a middle-aged man with a buff body. On his side was a kind-looking woman in her twenties and the last one was a man around the same age as the woman and he was the one clapping his hands with a smile on his face

"A few of you performed well in the secret test. It's not bad for orphans that only have three months of training" the man said and realization dawn in the orphans' faces

However, before they can even become happy, the fierce-looking middle-aged man in the middle damp cold water in them

"What performed well? They are just mere weaklings. Stop complimenting them, it might get into their heads and start thinking that they are the son of the heavens" the middle-aged man said with a cold snort

His words were humiliating but the aura exuding in his body made it so that no one dared to say anything and they can only keep their silence

The silence actually satisfied this man and he speaks again. "From now on, all of you are under my 'care' and you all will obey whatever I say, understood?"

Obey whatever he says? Isn't this too much? Even if he is their superior, these orphans are still human beings with feelings. If he tells them to die, do you expect them to just happily do it?

However, seeing that no one was speaking, the middle-aged man's countenance turned cold

"Are you all deaf?! If I ask a question you will answer it!" The man roared while releasing a pressure that made the orphans' face pale

In fear, the orphans subconsciously answered with a loud yes, and only then did the man retracted his aura

"I am your supervisor Dante. This woman on my side is Misha, she is responsible for teaching the trainees that want to specialize in offensive attacks. As for the man on my side, he is Jam, responsible for mystics that have abilities suitable for support. As for that old woman, she will help you heal any injuries you will gain in your training. They are the ones that will help teach and train you weaklings and you will also obey them, understood?! "

This time, the orphans already know what to do and they answered with a "yes". However, the looks they are giving Misha and Jam became different

This Misha looks like a kind woman yet she is actually the one specializing in the offense? This gave them a shock as Jam looks stronger than her

As if Dante can read their minds, he opened his mouth to speak again. "In the world of mystics who cares whether you are a man or a woman? Here, your strength will do the talking. If any of you have a sexist mindset, I suggest you change that. The number of women that can kill all of you with a simple thought is uncountable. Sex or gender doesn't matter, only strength does!"

Those orphans who are unconsciously looking down at Misha unconsciously straightened their backs and nodded their heads

"Good! This is your first day and naturally, we won't make things too hard for all of you and you can rest early. Run for at least fifty laps while covering your bodies with mystic energy as soon as you recover some. Using your mystic energies constantly is one of the best ways to have good energy control. With an expert level of energy control, a mystic's strength will greatly improve "

"And oh, some robots will arrive here shortly. They can scan one's body and see if they really don't have any energy to move left. You all need to run until you can't move anymore only then will you be brought to your rooms. Don't even dare to cheat, the robots are not easy to deceive. This is just the first day and we are treating you softly, anyone that will cheat and don't appreciate our goodwill is to be given harsh punishments!"

This ... is being soft? These orphans already 'fought to death' earlier yet they can't even rest? Run until they can't really move anymore only then can they rest .... supervisor, please tell us where is treating them softly here?
