109 Disappointed That You Were Only This Much (1/2)

”Who are you supposed to be? Wait...How old are you?” Finley's eyes pointed straight up into the air as he spoke down to Aker who had jumped onto the fighting stage.

Finley who had just joined C Company from the King Killers looked down on everyone who wasn't part of the elite King Killer squad. It was well known by everyone that only the geniuses of geniuses could get selected to be a fighter with the King Killers.

The entire A Company made up the King Killers which was personally headed by the Division Commander. When the Division Commander was first a.s.signed to defend this planet, he was upset and ticked off. As far as he was concerned, he should have been the Commanding General responsible for the entire war for the Underground Empire. Being relegated to a mere Division Commander was an affront and insult to his background and capabilities.

The Division Commanders very first move upon taking command of this planet was to appoint himself commander of A Company and begin s.n.a.t.c.hing up all of the best soldiers from the entire Division, then move them under the banner of his newly created King Killers squad.

It would be his Division and the Company he was leading that would eventually tear down the Fenlon Empire and he along with his Company would be the sword that ended the Kings life thus bringing victory and glory to the Underground Empire. This was his answer to not being selected as the Commanding General of the military, his only option was to personally lead the forces to victory, which he couldn't do if he didn't fill the role of Company Commander.

Initially the King Killers were not heralded or known and when they showed up to their first scrimmage, they were lauded for having such an imposing and fierce name despite never gaining any accomplishments. The jeers from the different divisions rained down even drowning out the war cries of the enemy.

It was only after the battles began that those who had been mocking the King Killers began to understand the folly of their ways. The King Killers who had been a.s.signed a sweep and destroy mission by the Commanding General was devastatingly successful. The problem was, they were supposed to fail miserably as the Commanding General had a deep-seated hatred of the Division Commander in charge of the King Killers.

Chalking up the success of the King Killers in their first battle to luck and a little bit of over estimation of the enemy's capabilities, the Commanding General had the King Killers attack an entire planet alone. Only after they had attacked and secured an impregnable defense on the planet would reinforcements be allowed to support. This a.s.signment was a clear suicide mission to everyone who heard about it and for those that had seen or heard about the success of the King Killers they were lamenting at the bad luck of that squad.

It was only several days later that those faces that had already condemned the King Killers to death heard that not only did they accomplish their mission, but they exceeded every conceivable goal in the process. The King Killers were able to take the entire planet single handedly driving the enemy forces off of the planet and into a desperate race of ”turn your back and flee”.

At this point the reputation of the King Killers was unstoppable, elite fighters from all over the Underground Empire became desperate to join this miracle fighting squad.

The King Killers were no longer only taking the best fighters from the single Division any longer but were now recruiting from Divisions all throughout the Underground Empire, this act was of course driving other Division and Company Commanders crazy. Every commander's success was predicated on the fighting force that they could command, for the genius and elite fighters throughout the empire to flock to a single Division....No, a single company was creating an imbalanced fighting force.

Already the Commanding General hated the Division Commander who had become the Commander of the King Killers, so after other Commanders came forward requesting the return of their fighters, he was more than happy to make a move.

After a short but intensive political battle in which neither side won it was concluded that the King Killers could maintain a fighting force of five hundred strong. Within this five hundred they could continue to recruit from all over the Underground Empire as long as the fighters were willing to go.

This news was of course well received by those elite genius fighters as they could continue to be with the famous and unstoppable King Killers squad, but it also had an unexpected side effect.

While it was unexpected it should have been easily predicted, as more elite genius came to the King Killers, more elite geniuses wanted to come to the King Killers. Due to the restriction of five hundred fighters this created intensive and at times overbearing compet.i.tion to be a part of the squad.

For fighters such as Finley, to be a member of the King Killers already separated him and made him an elite genius among geniuses. There was no way that Finley wanted to leave the King Killers, the benefits and rewards for being a part of this squad far outweighed any other Company in the entire Underground Military. It wasn't just the tangible benefits as there was also the prestige of being a member of the King Killers that would drive others wild when they heard about it.

Finely would never leave the King Killer's if he wasn't being forced to. For Finley the writing was on the wall, his rank was clearly falling by the way side, each month his influence and ability within the King Killers was diminis.h.i.+ng.

As new geniuses were brought into the fold, trained and ranked Finley's position was sliding. Everyone spoke about him being in the middle rank of the King Killers but truth be told he had long slipped from that position and was on the cusp of being booted from the squad whether he wanted to or not.

Since it was clear he wouldn't be able to maintain his position in the King Killers then why not leave while he still had some initiative to do so. Once he was booted out then he would forever be looked down upon, however, if he left on his own then he would be remembered as someone who left them. Because he was leaving of his own volition, he was also able to better work out a deal with perspective companies as well.

For C Company, being able to wrangle an ex-King Killer, a middle rank one at that was a huge boost to their credibility. They paid an enormous amount to be able to bring Finley into the company, but already it was paying dividends. Already a few of the other Companies were giving way and accepting C Companies new place as fourth in the pecking order.

Most fighters who leave the King Killers end up in B Company. This was primarily due to the close relations.h.i.+p between the Division Commander and the Company Commander of B Company. For those that didn't end up in B Company they would end up in J Company as the Company Commander there was the daughter of B Company.

For C Company to vulture a King Killer fighter, their reputation and fighting capabilities instantly moved from near the bottom only exceeding the Failed Fighter squad to becoming the fourth power within the Division, this was the strength and prestige that pulling in a King Killer fighter brought.

Finley who was used to talking down to the ma.s.ses wouldn't even give another Company Commander face when talking to them, so how then could he not look down on a measly Aker who had so rudely and ignorantly jumped onto the fighting stage with him.

Wasn't Aker someone who didn't understand the immensity of heaven and earth? Wasn't he someone who didn't understand the difference between a monarch and an ant? While Finley wouldn't brag that he was one of the top fighters in the King Killers, he could brag that being part of the King Killers he was one of the top fighters in the Underground Empire. At least for the regular fighters just being a part of the King Killers was proof that his fighting skills were unapproachable by the ma.s.ses.

”I'm here to represent D Company to regain what was taken from us. As far as my age is concerned, I've heard age is only a number, since that's the case shouldn't we just ignore it since its unnecessary to me representing D Company?” Aker who maintained his calm mood despite the aggressive questioning of Finley.

Basically, Aker's answer to Finley was ”what does it matter, what does it have to do with our fight”, it was a clear and blatant refutation of Finley.

Could someone of Finley's background and arrogance allow for some small nameless kid to blow him off like he was a leaf in the wind? The answer was a resounding no. Finely who had only been looking down at the pathetic peons who called themselves fighters and thought of them as nothing more than cannon fodder for the true fighters was not enraged by Aker's answer, he was instead disgusted.

The mere thought and idea that he was conversing with this lower lifeform brought a distaste to his mouth, it made him feel nauseous, 'how dare this disgusting excuse for a fighter stand in the same place as me and even talk and try and reason with me!'

As Finley was having this thought his disgust quickly turned to frustration and anger, his hand tightened around his saber and he dashed forward.

'Fine, you want to shame me with such an answer. You dare to step onto the same stage as me as if you were my equal, someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with me. Since that's the case I won't hold back and will show all of these fighters, before sending someone out to challenge me they should consider the consequences. They should understand that it won't be a simple beating, but I'll instead leave them crippled!'

Finley's thoughts were simple. He would kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. After he was done destroying Aker all of those who had any ideas or inclinations of standing up and refuting him or C Company would cower down in fear and have to really question and weigh the consequences of that decision.

As Finley dashed forward the bystanders could barely make out his movements. The speed of a Body Conditioning Organs magic fighter was well beyond these lower level fighters.

One has to remember that most fighters hadn't even broken through the Skin level and as such Finley's movements were only a blur in their eyes.

Just as they were shaking their heads at the stupidity of the ignorant kid who jumped onto a stage he had no business being anywhere near the echo of a metal saber clas.h.i.+ng with another metal caused everyone's eyes to blink in disbelief.
