Chapter 277 - How to Train a Child to Kill the Dead Second Part (2/2)

”This time around, lead the inspection and do infestation eradication here. Just like before, I will be assisting you on the sidelines. But you will do most of the killing. If there is a variant inside the building, we will make sure you are trained enough to do so.”

I nodded and accepted this condition as I ready my baseball bat again.

”Huff... I can do this!”

Master Kyosei is casually walking behind me while I am entering the premises of the building. The glass door of the building is smeared with blood and many handprints of blood are a sign that this place is already overrun by the dead. My legs started to stiff the moment I saw the countless amount of blood splattered on the ground.

”What's wrong, are you having second thoughts advancing? I will be stopping your trials if you decided to give up on this particularly. Of course, you will also forfeit your goal to marry my daughter.”

”Ngh...no. I refuse to quit... I will move forward!”

As I slowly push the glass door forward, two undead with missing limbs and broken jaws appeared before us, ready to attack me who just disturbed their peaceful dead life.

”Haaaa!”

Braakk!

The moment I bring down the baseball bat, the undead's head exploded, and brain matter fell to the floor. The other one also went straight to me but I didn't hesitate and swing my baseball bat again to its legs, causing it to collapse and fell to the ground, struggling.

”Eat this!”

Without batting an eye, I crushed another head, causing the brain matter to explode and cover the ground again.

”I suggest you stop making sound effects while dealing with the dead like ” yahh!” ”haaa!” and many other ways that will just increase your noise. If you keep on doing that enemies will f*ck you over as you are too noisy.”

”Ah... I am sorry...”

”Move on, let's not waste our time in here. The undead can quickly destroy things if we stay put.”

Armed with the baseball bat, I continue the survey to the area and kill undead people while on the way.

Thankfully, the infestation this time is not as bad and dangerous as it was before. I was able to clear it alone without much support from Master Kyosei who was following me and observing my ways.

Once we cleared the infestation, we returned to the car where Souichi-san is waiting for us.

”So, is there anything particular happening just now? How come you guys are earlier than I expected?”

”The infestation is not that troublesome just now compared to the one before. This little brat managed to do it all by himself and even though he was having a hard time, he was able to clear things and destroy them without much problem.”

”Is that so? Then, should we continue to move to the next one?”

”No, let's end this here for now. As much as I wanted to make sure this kid can see what he is limited to what he can do, he is exceeding my expectations. Let's go back and let him rest. We will continue the infestation clearing the next day.”

”Huh? Master! I know I am lacking power but please don't fail me yet!” I beg Master Kyosei.

”When did I say I am failing you? I just said we will be stopping our clearing of infestations for now. You needed to rest your little piece of work. I am not as heartless as people tend me to be one.”

Although I was confused at first, I was able to understand that master has not failed me yet. I have yet to fail to his tasks yet. My chances are still high.

(Byakuya's View)

We arrived from the expedition and we were welcomed by the staff and other soldiers inside.

”Welcome back guys. How is the infestation situation occurring right now?” The one they call Nanami asked my master.

”It's just a mini horde gatherer. It's not that dangerous if you are capable of killing all of these undead gatherings in one sweep. Still, it is worth looking into as the dangers don't just involve normal undead but also a few undead variants like the Stalkers will be added to the fray so if you guys are willing to do it regularly, then it would be great to know that they will be dangerous.”

”Okay, the info relayed is good enough to determine things from here on out. You guys can rest now.”

Master Kyosei then dismissed me for the day. I can still feel the feeling of fear wracking me on the inside. I was not sure what will happen in the future but I know that I have found my purpose and that is to protect Eve. If things will go wrong, I have to make sure I can keep Eve protected from harm.
