Chapter 179 DEPRAVED
The feeling of being speechless was once again felt by Leo, he can’t help but grumble inwardly, he might be strong but he knows that he’s not a match against Missel.
In the school, three individuals were training little children.
They were Bobby, Onichichi, and Sweet Fruit.
"Why did you leave Leo alone? You know how he is?" Even though, Sweet Fruit wasn’t the sharpest mind, they did spent months on two separate worlds and knows each other’s personality.
"Hmph! I’m one of the distinguished geniuses of our city, I don’t need to attend any party to socialize, rather than being bored to death, I rather want to see the cute children working hard and following our footsteps."
"Fatty, do you have anyone amongst them that caught your eyes?"
"No, but, I’m going to build a dojo that’s connected to our school, I’m probably going to train like-minded individuals."
"I’m going to create a dojo too but isn’t connected to our school, I’m probably going to compete with the Blake Ape Dojo."
"Not exactly, the Black Ape Dojo requires a suitable mystique creature to nurture in order to reach the higher realm but your martial art, the karate, only need discipline and constant training to improve."
"What are you guys doing?" A familiar voice made the three of them stop.
It was Emirose, she was wearing a teacher’s outfit.
She excels at learning in a standard pace, so, she heard from Sean that teaching will train your thoughts and how you perceive things, she gave it a try and realized that being a teacher truly fits her.
"We’re teaching the children from Sweet Fruit’s orphanage."
"Are you teaching them correctly?" Her expression changes.
She doesn’t trust the boys because of her interaction with them, especially, with Bones.
"Don’t worry, we aren’t teaching some difficult or dangerous stuff, we’re only laying down their foundation."
"That’s good, I was afraid that you would try to compare yourselves to the children."
"What the hell!? We aren’t like Bones! We grow in a nice or at least a normal neighborhood!"
"Wait, Bobby, should we go to Bones’ street and accept some of the children there into the orphanage?"
"That wouldn’t be needed." A familiar voice appears.
It was Kommi, together with her dad and Ophria.
"Kommi!" Their eyes lights up, there are three individuals that are considered as the stars of their group, they were Sean, Kommi, and Jericho.
Kommi is much more well liked by the rest because she doesn’t give them pressure that makes them nervous or breathless.
Sean is basically their idol, they always want to impress him.
Jericho is their big brother, his entire being radiates calm when they’re talking to him but facing him in combat, he would turn into a bloodthirsty wolf.
The two are actually unaware of this and thinks that they are only shy talking to them.
"What do you mean by that?" Onichichi asks, she still dream of defeating those that are of higher rank than her.
"Lady Jasmine has already dealt with those sectors, in order to prevent more traitors in betraying humanity, she has proposed multiple ideas that will help the common people while not really touching the interest of the powerful."
"Hmph! As if they can really do something with the likes of sensei and his family watching over them." Onichichi disdains those that are thinking that they’re powerful.
For her, no one is more powerful than Sean.
"I come here to ask if any of you are willing to join the city watch?" Kommi asks.
"What’s that?" The four was confused.
"A type of law enforcement team created for the purpose of protecting the common people from oppression." Masamyushi explains.
"That would be difficult to apply since all the martial artists are quite proud."
"You don’t need to worry about that, martial artists are still permitted to attack as long as they are insulted but each rank has different treatment and authority."
"Iron rank are still treated as normal civilians but can now view related documents and information regarding martial arts in the database of the city hall."
"Just that?" Asks the rest.
"Hmph! Don’t think that it such a small reward, it’s just you guys are training under lord Sean that’s why your value towards information is quite low."
"For average martial artists, they are blocked by the lack of resources and information."
Everyone blushes, it’s because they can’t deny what Ophria said.
"The city hall will give them mission that can be exchanged into points, the points can be exchanged into resources or other tradable objects, even information, this come from the Federation’s former structure but unlike in the past, there are now more missions and many of them aren’t even dangerous."
"Amazing! What about bronze rankers?"
"Bronze rankers has access to much higher field of information and missions, they can also apply for martial protection, that means that their family will be protected by any martial dispute against other martial arts."
"Silver rank is where things gets more absurd, if a silver ranker was attacked or insulted, he can kill civilians but he will pay an amount of points but they can’t go on a slaughter or else they would be hunted by the law enforcement."
"Gold rankers are the pinnacle of our city’s power and authority, if they are insulted, they can either kill that person without consequences or make them a sl*ve."
They hisses, Onichichi can’t help but comment.
"This will definitely spurs those that only reached iron rank to try harder, not just for themselves but also for their family."
"Not only that, many of the bronze rankers will definitely try their best to reach silver rank, the ability to control the lives of the common people is intoxicating for those at the higher realm."
"I don’t know why but I don’t think this was created by sensei." Suddenly, Sweet Fruit says something that snaps them out of their thoughts.
Kommi smiles, Masamyushi looks at Sweet Fruit in surprise, he also smiles and explains. "You’re right, this decision was created by the major powers and lady Jasmine."
"As expected, sensei is too kind to actually let anyone have any authority towards the lives of the common people."
"That’s why lady Jasmine is the perfect city lord, she can think of things outside the perspective of human morality but she can’t also be entirely cruel because she has a kind-hearted master."
"Then, will sensei be angry after hearing this?"
"I don’t think so, from what I know, lord Sean himself states that he wasn’t fit to be a ruler, so, he decided to respect Jasmine’s decisions over the management of the city."
"I think that sensei is actually having fun at the moment, he had always shouldered responsibilities that shouldn’t be his just because he has the strength and abilities that can fix the situation."
"Now, he doesn’t need to suffer from the expectations of everyone and can grow stronger at his own turn without being hurried."
Kommi and the others become silent after hearing Bobby’s words.
"What? Do you think that I’m just saying things!? Have you forgotten what is the background of our sensei!? Or just how big brother Jericho look at him when he was trying to do his best to achieve something!?"
"Bobby, it’s not that we don’t belong your words but in fact, we believe them, you don’t need to explain yourself, we’re just looking at you strangely because we didn’t expect that it would be you that points out this kind of stuff."
"The fxck!? I might not look like it but I am a member of a wealthy merchant group, a young master in fact! The thing that I trained all of these years was my ability to read people!"
"No wonder Leo and Sweet Fruit became friends, it’s because they have someone like you to bridge the two." Onichichi mutters.
"I might not be the best in cultivation but in terms of social experience, no one amongst you can compare to me, including both sensei and big brother Jericho."
They turn to him with disdain, seeing this, Bobby flashes a smile. "Unlike you guys, I frequent in parties and other social gathering."
"This shape my mindset towards other people, I can’t deny that I’m not as strong as you guys or gifted but in terms of being a social butterfly, I’m greater than any of you, of course, this involves only people in business or descendants of martial artists."
"Then, why don’t you go to the gathering Leo has attended?" Sweet Fruit scratches his head.
"Because, I don’t want to, the foundation of my family is quite solid but this also made us stuck at our current level, in this world, martial might dictates the law and the only way for us to improve is for me to grow stronger and invest on people that I consider worth investing, once they become martial artists, we’ll hire them."
"You really planned so well, I can’t believe that you’re the same fatty that we always bully."
"What can I say? I spent all of my time mingling and doesn’t even train seriously, I only managed to even become a reserve member of our school is because I barely reached the iron rank and sign a contract with a mystique creature compatible with me."
"So that’s why you’re not attending any social gathering anymore." Suddenly, a voice appears and they turn to the direction of the sound.
A pretty girl with thicc hips was walking towards them.
"Big sister? What are you doing here?" Bobby was surprised to see her.
Hearing his words, they can’t help but compare the two and they look at Bobby strangely.
Only Sweet Fruit wasn’t surprised, he and Leo had seen Bobby’s thin form and he can see the resemblance between the two.
This is one of his talent.
"How can I not come here? Father has been trying to push you to once again join the social gatherings sent to our family."
Bobby shakes his head. "Big sister, I’m already a bronze ranker, the only way for us to reach greater height is for me to reach silver rank and the fastest and most stable way for me to do that is to constantly train."
"I know, I even dissuade father from forcing you, I know just how important you are to our family but aren’t you exhausted training without resting?"
"Hahaha! I might feel tired but I wouldn’t be exhausted, I have my good friend to accompany me and being stared by the children in admiration boost my own self-confidence!"
The pretty girl becomes silent, she sighs, she still in the state of shock upon hearing that her brother is already at the bronze rank without using much of those expensive pills.
In another location, John and Christine are talking to each other.
"Our situation is different from others but it’s okay, lord Sean had said that he would make a move once he reach gold rank to minimize the casualty as much as possible."
"I heard it too, since it’s certain that there are survivors in our city, lord Sean has given it priority to rescue."
"Once the space gates are created, we can use this opportunity to expand our family’s influence and I just have the idea."
Christine was speechless, they hadn’t even rescued their city and he was already thinking of the future.
"I’m thinking of building a travel agency, one that’s focused in air travel."
"That’s, that isn’t actually a bad idea, no, let me rephrase my words, that’s an excellent idea but we must focus in rescuing our city first before getting too ahead of ourselves."
John nods his head.
"Lady Jasmine has tasked me to connect with the people of our city, to gather intelligence before attacking, we can’t just brute force our way in with the amount of lives on the line."
Sean is different from the rest, he doesn’t care if your martial artists or not, as long as you’re a living human, he would try his best to rescue you.
Without anyone asking or needing help from him, Sean spent his time cultivating and experimenting.
Right now, he was trying to use the energy from the cores of the golden dragons to try and sense the Golden Qi.
He wants to improve two runes instantly, the Rune of Iron Will and the Metal Rune.
Both are important for him, especially, the first, it seems to be basic at first, only after using it multiple times did he manage to sense the depth of it’s power.
It is a Strange Rune!
Similar to both rain and cloud runes, both are connected to higher powers.
Around him, swirling golden dragon can be seen flying.
"Finally, I managed to complete it." He mutters as he disperses the glowing golden light and dragons.
Will of Iron and Dragon: The improved version of the strange rune (Iron Will Rune).
Active: (Iron Will), uses the power of will to transform any body parts into metal, powered by Golden Qi.
Active2: (Golden Dragon), using the user’s will, mana, Golden Qi, and yang essence, summons an elemental golden dragon that will fight for the user. (Can also use to power the sword of slaughter).
Passive: (Iron Will), immunity towards illusions and mind attacks.
It’s power has increased just as he expected, also, it’s now on the path of spirituality rather than being overly reliant on metal element.
Metal Rune ll: One of the basic elemental runes in existence. Enhanced by Golden Qi
Active: (Magnet Force), generate a magnetic power that can control metals.
Active2: (Iron Blood), uses the iron on the blood to increase the user’s physical power.
Passive: (Iron Body), Defense is strengthened by metal element. Increases metal elemental affinity.
Passive2: (Sharp), Obtains the aura, Sharpness.
The same as before, other than the additional active skill, the Metal Rune seems to hadn’t changed.
That’s five runes, five more to go.
He wasn’t concerned about the other requirements as he has total confidence on his family.
Suddenly, he senses a surge of power coursing through his body but since he was already at the peak of his rank, all of it was sent to Beast World.
His expression changes and he laughs out loud, he knows who had broken through.
Just as he expected, a call appears on his mind, it was Wuk, he smiles and waves his hand as a humanoid but furry figure appears in front of him.
