She pointed at the bow-stand in the corner.
"Alright! Go, pick one!"
He tried to decline, "Ma'am I would rather not,"
Before Creed could say anything more, an arrow dug itself in between his feet. Her eyes shot a freezing glare that sent shivers up his spine.
"Don't make me repeat myself, Cadet Gryffon!"
He sighed heavily and brought a bow that he felt was good enough for him. Maira looked at his choice and smirked even more.
"Are you sure about that choice? This is your last chance if you wanna pick something else!"
"This is just fine!"
Even if Creed hadn't attended any of he
=>KNOCK - collide with (someone or something) and giving them a hard push. =>Nock - Fit (an arrow) to the bowstring ready for shooting. => Fluke - Something good that has happened that is the result of chance instead of skill or planning.
Inside the military cafeteria, three girls of the same age group were having lunch. More than eating food, there was giggling and chattering. They were sitting in the corner. Yet, their group was indeed the center of attention for several eyes inside the cafeteria. One of the girls had dark hair, elegant cheekbones, and a pointy nose. She had frizzy hair gently hanging over her shoulder. Despite having average facial features there was something captivating about her, perhaps it's simply her personality. Her name was Remy Adler. The second one has much more refined facial features. Her glittering blue eyes and rose petal lips seemed irresistible and delicate. Yet, her conversation etiquette and unrestrained giggling indicated a mixture of self-confidence and toughness. Her name was Regina Kain, she was Jake
"Cadet Gryffon, do you mind if I borrow some of your time?" Creed swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His pulse elevated as he got up from his seat. "Yes, of course, ma'am!" He took a tone that couldn't be any more respectful. Yet, his armpits were drenched, "How can I help you?" "No! Not here!" She shook her head and moved towards the exit. Creed had no choice but to follow her outside. His legs were jello and his brain was melting. He cursed himself for showing off too much. While this happened, Jake and Fang peered at each other; utterly clueless. They both slack-jawed, their eyes shook in their sockets as if they both had the same question for each other, 'What is happening?'.
[~Leaping Hyena Killed~] [Gained Saturation Points 0.34] [~Toxic Sloth Killed~] [Gained Soul Crystals +1 ] [Gained Saturation Points 0.1] [~Scaled Cobra Killed~] [Gained Saturation Points 0.6] [~Blood Slug Killed~] [Gained Saturation Points 0.2] Creed's kill-count was also increasing slowly, but also gradually. For the past two days, he had started to use his own
"Damn! He really won!""Hahaha, this punk really defeated her in close combat!""What an absurd strategy that was?""Did he planned that? Or was that just a coincidence?"Several people in the audience also had a smile on their faces including Jake, Grisha, and Fang. Creed also had a smirk. He knew that this was a bizarre strategy; he didn't hate it either. In the end, the result matters.Aria's mistake was that she did not give herself a chance to analyze the ongoing battle. Her mind was dead set on finishing the opponent by an overwhelming force, which ultimately backfired on herself.She tried to break his bow by repetitive attempts but forgot that her own weapon is not invinci
"Match Ends, Winner - Jia Ning!""Ouch! That's gotta hurt...""What the hell was that?""Fucking hell... She destroyed him!""Didn't she just start training recently… What in god's name happened?""Jia Ning… I didn't know she was this strong!""Does that mean she is now one of the strongest 5 of our batch?""This is just great...she is beautiful, rich and strong ...could god be any more unfair!""Shit...I'm never making any lewd remarks on her…"Unaware of the whispers, Jia's gaze immediately landed on her watch that flashed
"Match Ends, Winner - Marcus Willis!"The announcement and Marcus' win spooked several cadets in the front row. Nobody understood what happened all of a sudden.Creed and Jake both turn their heads at Fang. His face was dripping with sweat and eyes rolling in the sockets as if he had been caught red-handed.Jake mumbled, "So you taught him a berserk skill?""No, I didn't""Don't lie!""It's not a berserk skill. It's something else!"Jake and Creed both had skeptical glare. Fang sighed and opened its mouth."A look-alike divergent of Limiters. It's called the 'Domain'!"
Creed's eyes shined as he saw Alan fighting against Adam Northwood.Earlier he was dubious about Alan's persistent nagging in the library. He kept bugging him more than necessary. For that reason, Creed always gave him partially vague advice; the kind where he had to do his own research to infer any fruitful conclusion.All those advices wasn't just advice but theory were more of additional homework and practice methods.Creed thought he wasn't doing them at all. However, now he was now sure that Alan was not just bugging him needlessly. He was trying to improve and was making a genuine effort to learn. His fight with Adam was enough proof.Sadly, he also knew that Alan would lose this match. Adam's fighting caliber was way ahead of him. Yet Creed was impressed by
The matches went on, and soon enough another familiar name was announced. It was Ryan Miller's turn. On the other side was a cadet named Carl Fritz.Creed looked at Ryan's face and realized that he couldn't be any more nervous. The amount of sweat dripping from his forehead was enough proof.Nevertheless, if looked from Ryan' perspective, his nervousness was reasonable.After watching his batch mates' energetic battles, he was already demoralized by this point. So far, Ryan has only killed weak and mindless beasts before but he had never hurt an actual person.Also, Creed never did any one-on-one with him while his batch mates had already isolated him for being weak. He never got the chance to engage in battle with a real person before, much less hurt them.&n
