121 The abnormal trained by the anomaly 2 (1/2)
- Moirai-
” What a heroic speech, I felt my nonexistent blood boiling.” said the voice inside of my head mocking me for giving such a lukewarm speech to these players about what it means to be a soldier.
In a society where religion plays such a prevalent role in everyone lives, I will have to choose my words and the intent behind it quite carefully, otherwise, my heartfelt advice might become heresy in the blink of an eye. Telling them to find something to believe in, is certainly still agreeable with their world view. Luckily I do not plan on nailing 95 theses onto the Church door. I am sure they would not take too kindly on something like that.
” Not even addressing my compliment I see how it is” continued the voice inside of my head, while I clearly tried my best to ignore it for the sake of both of us. I had spent enough time pointlessly arguing back and forth to conclude, that we could not see eye to eye with one another.
That is what I would like to say, but the only reason preventing me from arguing back was the fact, that I currently had a task that required my full attention. So that left me with no choice than to temporarily endure the detestable voice of the tenant and to try to pretend that he did not even exist.
The task at hand, that needed my entire concentration was not the training of the soldier candidates or the production of weapons, it was all about the oppurturnity that was currently presenting itself to me.
The reason I had taken this demonstration level to this extent was not only to showcase them different strategies and the resolve they need to become a soldier. I could barely contain myself and not cut the body open right here, because I would be finally able to see one the inside of their bodies.
In front of me lies a woman without clothes lasciviously moving her body, the tastiest fruit of the world in all its splendour, an oasis amidst the desert and yet these people still stared at me with big eyes preventing me from accessing my object of desire.
I had the desire to yell at them and ask them what had been so difficult about finding their own personal motivation. Why did the birdbrain have so many difficulties following even the simplest orders?
Was it too much to ask you to use your brain? Do I really have to offer everything in small bites just so you imbeciles can understand? Do you expect me to solve all of your issues for yourself?
How can I get these idiots off my back and keep them busy as long as possible? I just want to do this one thing in peace, afterwards, they can annoy me as much as they want. Finding an activity that keeps them preoccupied is easier said than done. Telling them to do as many push-ups as possible would not work unless I kept staring at them.
They were just like dogs seeking constant reaffirmation for everything they did. Sadly I could not use a leash to tie them somewhere. Their heavy grunting and exhausted moans were not making it any easier for me to come up with any valid strategy.
Just running away and stealing their comrade is too childish and would not work at all. Cutting the corpse open in front of them, will not work without a really good explanation and what good explanation might there be for something like this?
I would rather give up on it entirely, then ruining my chances with Tom and this group of players.
Even if they had blind faith in me, the same could not be said about Tom. If I show people like him.something too.strange who knows what might happen.
Cutting open a corpse-like avocado is not something any NPC would willingly do. If you saw someone doing stuff like that, some questions would inevitably come up. Even these weirdos would not leave this matter uncommented.
Not to mention Tom, I have to be very careful and avoid that he gets wind of what I have in mind at all cost. A motivating speech is unfortunately not enough to convince him completely. A tear-jerking sob story would only earn me his laughter.
But getting rid of him can be done with ease. While I do need to find a legitimate way to keep the players at bay, I will just have to sprinkle some half-truths at Tom, that would explain my sudden change in behaviour to him. Afterwards, I will just have to give him an important task, that only he can do and he is out of the picture.
He will still feel important, that I have confined him in my secret plan and he will most likely not question everything else, if it is in accordance to the story I will come up. Figuring out a motive is also not that hard to figure out. Given the unique natural disposition of my group of fanboys, I can deduce that they are something really special.
Who would willingly learn to use their body in a fight against monsters, when magic can be used from a safe distance. Well, it just means, that they either lack the talent to wield magic in such a manner or that this sort of arrangement has some sort of benefit I have yet to figure out. Their status can not below, otherwise, they would have been never allowed to set a foot into this world.

Strangely there are faint traces of contempt in the eyes of Tom whenever he takes a look at them. I can tell because he is showing the same kind of eyes to me. The feeling of superiority seems to be inborn and only gets amplified the more the social status rises. Even the weakest of the weakest I have encountered looked at me as if I was less then dirt, simply for being an NPC.
” So what do you think about those crazy fools currently training under you?”
They are an odd bunch, quite different from the usual player I have encountered so far. They neither discriminate nor have treated me any different the moment we met. This alone is enough to elevate them from the general masses. On top of that, they are capable of transferring the force of my punches into their own attacks.
In general, it is very unusual to see people who mix magic with their body, as this kind of mixture is frowned upon by nearly everyone I had met in this world. What is even more interesting, that despite this kind of magical usage their general body is weak and just barely stronger than the average player.
So how can their bodies be that empowered with magic and so weak without it? What difference does their body have compared to a normal player? I can not wait to see what it is inside of them.
Sadly this naive bunch of people is too pure for this world. They would gladly throw their lives away for people who would not even remember them for a second. Even if I have to corrode them a little, I do not want them to get taken advantage out of. I know its a bit silly coming from me, but it is just something I want to do after I saw their pure behaviour and motivation.
” Something like that is not strange, every being has some sort of drive. But your prior made me wonder, whether you truly had one. At rare occurrences like this, I am reminded that you still a human, despite your apparent lack of the good characteristics one would associate with humans.”
Save your breath I can imagine what you are implying. And yes I am aware, that you do not need to breathe as well. Human beings are a flawed existence but being one is truly enjoyable. I do not need any magic to be able to enjoy myself. Of course, the strength you provide is a good way to amuse me.
” Humans would have never survived if not for the interference of those gods. What is the fun in being weak, if you can not even save yourself.?”
