"Hey, hey, hey... that’s Valen! You’re Valen! That’s fucking VALEN!!!! Woohoooo!!!! I’ve hit gold!!" The monkey was suddenly very excited when he saw the old man, but my attention was on sothing else entirely...
"Hey, old man. Who’d you offend, and why did they bless you with a panda’s eye?"
The mont I’d asked that question, I could see a flash of resentnt in the old man’s eyes as he looked at .
Resentnt? Why would he feel that? It wasn’t like I was the reason he was sporting a panda’s eye right?
"Alright... let’s get to training."
"What? Old man, that’s not what I’m here for." I backed up imdiately.
The last training session I’d had with this crackhead, saw get folded like wet laundry, and now hearing the words "training" after seeing resentnt in his eyes? Yea, like hell I’d allow that..
"Whatever it is you ca for, it can wait. Training always cos first, we need you to grow up big and strong. Right?"
.....
"Yea. Fuck no!!"
"Ughhhh.... I hate you, my friend.. I really hate you." Malachi groaned as his figure lay still beside ..
We’d both, as expected, been walloped like no tomorrow.
The old man was especially heavy handed against , leading to more than a few shattered bones and displaced organs..
Once again, I was reminded of the vast gap between us.
I hadn’t hoped at competing with him.
But with my newest comprehensions of TI, INEVITABILITY and HEAT, I was atleast expecting to put up a fight.
And truthfully, the three laws did show why they were called SUPRE!
Inevitability made sure my attacks always hit.
Heat had trying to vaporize his ridiculously dense blood.
Ti had freezing the world every now and then.
The old man had been taken by surprise..
He’d recognized them. Not the laws themselves, but their distinctions.
Yet, it was all futile.
The laws were powerful.
Hell, I’d even used TILESS SERIES and Zero Distance multiple tis and they all worked..
The laws and their applications were absolutely horrifying, but my level of comprehension, was not.
So, when you put soone with barely a rudintary comprehension of three Supre laws against soone who had probably already exceeded the Law integration stage, with not one but TWO, suprelaws, the outco tends to already be decided no matter what you did.
Because sobody tell how I was supposed to fight against soone who’s very existence, Negated the concept of damage.
It wasn’t a thod of defense.
It wasn’t a counter.
He was just saying NOPE to the concept of being hurt, which got all the more curious as to how soone like that, could be sporting a black eye, and one that had yet to heal even now.
Anyways, that’s that, and the monkey got folded the mont the old man had his fun.
Now he was sitting there, trying to act like he hadn’t just done an act of transferring aggression..
"Heh.. If only I knew the person who did that.. I’d probably tell them you were acting out again, let’s see you pick on soone your own size." The old man’s face twitched violently at my words, I could’ve sworn I saw his body shiver..
....
"Alright... you two, tell what brought you here." A few monts of silence later, the old man’s voice finally broke the ice..
"Heh.. not gonna continue venting? I’m sure whoever gave you that will love to do the sa to the other one." I should really learn to control my mouth, but it seed the old man was finally getting himself together...
"Haaa.. just tell what you want and leave.." he sighed, seeing his deanor, I decided to rcifully let him off..
"I ca to ask for a suitable mission, the ones at the hall were ass, and the cool ones were off limits." I finally made my intentions known..
"Hmm? Ah.. yes.. I rember that rule. No new students are allowed to take tasks above their grades until they’ve proven themselves Capable." Valen mused quietly..
"Prove? After what we did during the enrollnt ceremony, is there anything else to prove?" Malachi asked, genuinely confused..
"Hmm? It seems you boys are getting a bit ahead of yourselves." Valen stood, his hands clasped behind him as he went full lecture mode..
"You’re strong, as I’ve said, among your peers, you’re monsters."
"But you are yet to et the true monsters of this academy, fellow students like yourself that are capable of making established powerhouses on the outside tremble in fear."
"Have you ever fought a true transformation stage existence? I assure you, it’s not the easy fight your heads are making it up to be."
He finally turned towards us, face solemn, as he advised us earnestly.
"Pride goeth before fall, that’s a saying as old as ti. Do not let your current achievents fool you, for I assure you, there are definitely those, not instructors , but fellow students like yourselves, that are unimaginably more powerful than you two."
"Hell, Dante, you’re living with a few."
The place went quite after he finished..
I wasn’t all that shaken.
Not when I knew he was right.
Darius, that snake, already showed that the waters of this place ran deeper than we thought..
And as for l and the girls? Yea, I didn’t doubt that either, lissa had punched through frozen ti, says a lot about her true abilities.
"I’m sorry instructor, forgive my behavior and thank you for the lesson." All of a sudden, Malachi did a 360 as he gave a solemn bow of gratitude..
"Wow, a student that actually shows appreciation, how I wish there were more of your type out there."
I shrugged off the stray bullet, going back to what had brough here..
"So old man, got anything good?" I asked excited.
"Actually? I do." The old man pulled out a display crystal from his storage device, the thing turning on to show a landscape of devastation and carnage.
Corpses strewn carelessly, like worthless trash.
"What.. caused this?" Malachi asked..
"Sothing many have wished they would never experience." The room got heavier...
"A mutated dungeon break".
I stopped dead in my tracks..
A dungeon.
I had almost forgotten, in all that was going on, I had almost forgotten that there were actual dungeons within this world..
And now, it seems I’m about to go try my hands on a very nasty one.
"So, you’re sending us in as damage control?" I asked.
"No, I’m sending you guys in as the extermination squad."
Now, that was sothing I liked to hear.
"I had plans of putting up the assignnt on the mission board, but since you’re here, might as well take it." The old man took our cards and registered the mission.
"The place is a city located on the Outskirts of the Western Continent’s Thousand Mile Mountain."
"Wait! That’s from the western continent?" Malachi suddenly exclaid, drawing both mine and valen’s attention.
"What’s wrong?" I asked.
"The western continent, that’s my ho continent."
Well that’s new?
"Huh? I thought you were from the central continent?"
"Why would anyone want to be from this place filled with snakes and conspiracies." The monkey suddenly got excited.
"Hahahahah!! Finally!! I get to show you my ho, YES!"
I couldn’t help shaking my head at the floundering monkey.
"So, old man, what rank is this dungeon?" I asked, eager to know exactly what type of threat I was facing.
"Oh? It’s nothing that difficult."
I was almost disappointed, until the old man’s next words.
"It’s only an S-rank mutated dungeon, nothing too much for you boys to handle!" I froze.
Suddenly getting excited.
"Since you boys seem to need a reality check, then allow to use this mission as one, let you see just what horrors await beyond those thin lines that separates mortals from those that have begun their transformation!"
