Chapter 12: Point Card
Just as the bullet had got into Farold's leg the dwarf nervously declared the winner and shot a fierce look at Cylius. These thirteen prodigies were talented especially Farold, he couldn't lose him or else he would suffer the consequences of it. But when two of these prodigies banded together the stronger prodigy could suffer and this wasn't what he was willing to see.
Any one of these thirteen kids lives were enormous they had the chance to study in top notch schools and become mighty geneticians.
"Looking at Cylius's energy it might be possible that his perception skills came from the energy he uses, if associated with his enhanced hearing and energy he uses it might be that he was more towards that mythical creature."
"Looking at these two's energy and how they had deloped association so quickly, this Garen kid's energy mght also be associated with that. If these two were really what he had expected their chance of entering that school is big" thinking all about that the dwarf shuddered involuntarily and cold sweat formed on his back.
He need to report this to the director quickly. After the dwarf made the medical team come and get Farold he ran immediately. Without the dwarf they were expected to be go back to their rooms immediately as they had noone to order them.
Cylius was tired especially after this fight but he still needed to settle some debts with the cheering group.
Seeing his glare the group unconsciously shuddered Cylius with Garen came to the group and demanded them nutrients of the day.
"You you what a a are you trying to do?" said the leader of the group while stuttering.
"Oh nothing much, just beating some sh*t out of you and getting some nutrients as a form of compensation you know" said Cylius without having any expression. Soon three people with twisted arm were on their back moaning in pain. Disabling or fracturing them was too much, his talent wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Instead of disabling or fracturing twisted limbs could be done with just retwisting them back into place.
...
After ordering the foods they wanted him and Garen looked at the stranger in front of them, this was Erick who was the snake boy they saw. Erick had fair skin and a skinny body much like him but the thing was that hiding in that skin were powerful but flexible muscles.
He was of the serpent gene, most people's emotions and physicalbody was influenced by their type of inner superiour gene. If ti wasn't then they wouldn't have the genes that were superiour.
The ones that were most affected by were the tansform type genes. The genes were a natural thing all living things. In some creatures some genes were more dominant resulting in the inner superiour genes.
Animals liked the strong and ancient serpents were known for their cunningness. Serpents were created from the ocean and their intelligence was much more developed compared to others, this had resulted in them becoming cunning.
In the thirteen of them if divided, most of htem were good and only the three of them Erick, Garen, Cylius were neutral. None were bad, if said the three of them were rational.
Looking at Erick's performance he was long tempted to rope him in, the serpent's talent was grea and didn't seemed to be bothered by the bullying while even showing some interest in getting good resources.
But after seeing Farold standing up to them he has instantly stopped what he was thinking. This was noticed by Cylius and a potential partner wasn't a bad thing. But neither Erick nor Garen could be trusted he wouldn't believe in something as shallow as friendship and any types of relations.
He didn't know if he would be back-stabbed. Taking the worries aside Erick himself had first volunteered for getting into the group himself. He had likely deduced that from Farold's hot bloodedness he would get into trouble now or later, and thinking that he would need to get into a group now or later he chose to do it now.
Of course the more powerful the group the better. So the triplet had formed a group. Other people were already trying to form a group and some had even formed seeing that the strong could bully them. With quantity they wanted to replace quality!
But they were guessing that the training program would be done soon and they would reunite with the others soon, and maybe a large scale event would happen, especially the part that said only twenty people could survive within fifty people a 40% chance.
If calculated from the slightly over five hundred people only two hundred would survive. If their willing to go to such measure then the survivors would have to be elites and this is where the large scale event would take place.
Maybe they might even get involved with the other orphanage's trainees. If that was the case, then from the 32 orphanages trainess with roughly eight million participants would end up in 3.2 million. But its only an estimate based on the current knowledge.
He didn't know if other groups survival of 40% was different, after all they were special people. Their group consisted of thirteen inner ability users and others all with absorption rate of 50% and higher.
But he doesn't have to know that, it wasn't necessary. All that matters is if he would survive.
Tomorrow the training program was cancelled completely, shocking the students.
"Trainees, now you have completed the training program. You would now join the other eight million other people that you have seperated from right now. Each person would be given a point card, its very important so don't lose it. The points are everything to you on this ship until we reach the destination. There is a section for every group they were divided but you could also travel to other sections. There are in total eight sections. Your points would be displayed on your card's front."
"With points you can get genes, rooms, food and everything. But it varies depending on the value of it, the greater the value the more points it would demand. To gain points you will do missions which involve all kinds of chores to fighting space monsters to fixing battle suits. You can plunder points too by getting your opponents card and pressing it to your own card. There is no distinction between cards and its all the same. And some of you may have anticipated this killing is fine as long as you follow the rules"
When the dwarf's introduction ended another wave of shock spread. What the dwarf was basically saying was that with points you could have everything and the weak would be trampled upon by the strong.
Now their shelter was gone and they only had themselves or maybe their group to count on. The triplet had discussed this and have also predicted it from asking the AI.
At this moment Cylius realized that the sentence "At most only twenty people would survive within a group" mentioned "at most". Though this may just be some overall deduction, it was just starting a massacre.
