128 The wheatstone 1 (2/2)
Although it could not agree with the way this result had been achieved, they still had managed to best their opponent. To prevent this occurrence from happening again, it decided to send a different version of Moirai to them, which was not that easily affected by the womanly charm.
At least this was a first and it would hopefully mark the beginning of the success of the players. After being exposed to the antics of the visitor from another world, it had already been accustomed to deviations from the plan and made ample preparations in case something might happen.
A simple matter like this was easily solved. Although it truly wondered whether its constant interference had set off a chain reaction causing the players to develop in a strange direction. Looking at the behaviour of the players who were still acting the same after amassing failures it seemed doubtful.
Yet, not a long time after the first Moirai had been disposed of another successful kill was done by a member of the Church. This one was quite interesting, using lightning of such strength was quite rare. He waited till the clone had approached him but unlike the mindless horde, he closed in on Moirai and used his lightning in close proximity to Moirai.
He managed to end his life that way, despite receiving quite a nasty wound in return. Although his arrogant bearing still did not lessen in any way it was commendable that he had managed to win the fight.
The Observer chose to send another Moirai, one that was a lot warier and careful of his opponent to continue the test. Given his current bodily constitution, he was bound to lose his life but this was of no concern to it. Everyone involved will have to give up their life one way or another.
Although the majority of players had done that before the training had begun. But once their rage subsides, they will manage to pass the simple challenge. The main purpose of this training lies in training them how to adapt to enemies.
Experience is greatly needed when fighting against enemies of unknown strength. How else would a weakling like Moirai manage to kill any magician, he took advantage out of their lack of experience to kill them.
Fighting Moirai it had noticed how frightening the Original could be if it was underestimated, but the clones only had a fraction of the trait which made him deadly. They would stand no chance on their own if they already struggled against the weakened versions. It was easy to surround a single enemy and kill by bombarding the target with mana from all directions but that luxury was not a common occurrence.
In the meantime, the next person had managed to surpass the first obstacle. This time around it was due to negligence on the side of Moirai, as it had thought that the player had been killed instantly by the attack. Afterwards, the copy of Moirai was struck in the back after turning around, which led to its demise.
While this person succeeded only thanks to his luck, he should be able to come to the right conclusion after seeing how he had managed to accomplish this. Without any further ado, the next Moirai was sent into his direction.
It had finally begun and it was only a matter of time until everything could return to normal again. Although only a measly of 3 copies had died so far, some improvements could be seen as the players were finally forced to try different methods.
Some chose to think for the first time and sought out openings others decided to lead Moirai into an unfavourable situation to kill him little by little. Although they were still not willing to rethink their position, at least they had finally started to use different means to achieve the result.
This lead to more and more Moirai being killed by the respective players. Their new opponents were already on their way, but those were specially selected for each player and the corresponding method they had used.
As of now the number of clones was still increasing and it would continue to do so until a suitable amount of players had learned their lesson. The players sent by the technician were no problem, as they made contact with some of the stronger Moirai.
This procedure was not something which these players would be able to pass in a matter of minutes. It was a long gruelling process that demanded a lot of perseverance. Everyone that managed to kill their opponent had only taken the first step.
As of now the number of players entangled in fights with Moirai was not high, but more players were arriving. This lead to some Moirai stopping their push-up routine as they calmly left the city to meet their challengers.
The rest just continued to do their exercise as if nothing had happened. The general atmosphere in the town was left unaffected by the turmoil which took place far outside of the city. The only thing to look out for was the troublemaker, but as of now he did not show any motivation to move out of the city nor should he have one.
It would be better for anyone involved if the situation remains disclosed from him. It is hard to predict, what he would do. While the Observer had no problems changing the situation by a subtle interference it could not change the behaviour of these NPCs too much. The NPCs were not supposed to do pushups and yet they did so anyway.
The person in question was still busy honing his skills training with the entity deep in his consciousness. He had absolutely no intention of interrupting this session any time soon. In the eyes of the original Moirai, it mattered little what happened on the Outside.
As long as his life was not in direct danger, he would not care. He was contended with his current role, as he was preparing for the upcoming future looming over his head, with the tournament coming closer and closer.
This training was a catalysator to free his mind from all the trouble surrounding him and to let his subconscious reflect on it. As long as Moirai distracted his mind, he would not wander off and get overwhelmed by his plans.
Moirai did not set his sights on the future and all of the potential threats. One risk was tackled a time. This had not changed regardless of what he had lived through. From past till the present, Moirai had always chosen this method to keep his mind clear if the stress had accumulated.
This was by no means a healthy way to deal with the emotional burden weighing on his conscious, as he was only fighting the symptoms and coping with them by suppressing them but it was the only way he knew.

Keeping a clear mind and not letting his emotions run wild was of highest importance to him, he knew all too well, that being too involved had never ended well for him. The innocence of the past was only a relict of the past.
A past which he never could go back to.
