Chapter 318: Talk (2/2)
”It is one of the reasons. The other reason is to use the time to listen to everyone's conversation. With a scale of mission this big, I believe the other soldiers will know it as well. I can gather a few interesting information with the rumors that are spreading among the soldiers.” Kai smirked.
”Now I understand.” Evan nodded. ”By the way, what do you think about this base, Kai?”
”Hmm.” Kai observed the base for a moment and said, ”It's going to be difficult to fight a large battle using this base. But it will be a different case if the constructions have finished.”
”…” Evan fell silent as though Kai just answered something that was completely different than his expectation. He looked at many construction workers and their equipment. The process itself was indeed fast, considering they used around a thousand construction workers to finish this job.
But it was necessary because they needed to tackle many magical beasts at the very front.
”Anyway, I have something to tell you.”
Evan tilted his head in confusion. ”What is it?”
”We are going to fight the top four groups as soon as Tasha graduates. And each of us needs to take on a single group.”
”As soon as Tasha graduates? And each of us needs to take them by ourselves?” Evan widened his eyes. With these two points alone, he knew it would be the time they reset their points as Tasha left the group. At the same time, Sofia would also return to the EU base, allowing them to match their numbers.
Still, Evan couldn't believe whether he was able to fight a single group alone or not. ”Are you sure?”
”Yeah. And the only way to win is for all of us to beat them.” Kai smiled.
Evan facepalmed and sighed. ”Oh my goodness… Captain, don't you put too much expectation on me?”
”Haha… You will need to train during the holiday with this in mind.” Kai grinned. ”For the time being, there is a big advantage you have right now.”
”What would that be?” Evan furrowed his eyebrows.
”It's your new healing magic. What else?”
”Ah!” He just researched his new magic and learned that it had a second ability. Other than healing people, he could enhance people's abilities this time and boost their metabolism. This ability will mainly increase their physical ability.
”If your performance suddenly goes up, it will surely shock them for a moment. Although we can't underestimate the top groups in this academy, you should be able to take one of them with that surprise attack. I am sure that all the experiences you have will allow you to do that.”
”Well, I will take the weakest group because that's the only chance I can win.” He shrugged. ”After all, I am just a newborn baby to them.”
”Nope.” Kai shook his head. ”You are the ancient one that just woke up again.”
”!!!” Evan was surprised. He must mean about his experiences during his hard time with Isabelle. ”Haiz…”
”I didn't mean to dig up your past, but when I was searching about Isabelle for the group battle, I found this information. Well, that's also why you can have that fighting sense when you were training with me, right?”
”Yeah.” Evan smiled. ”That wasn't the greatest memory, but it was enjoyable. Although I didn't manage to improve, I understood more than I could imagine. Unfortunately, it only appeared after training again with you... After all, your brutal training almost instilled a trauma in my heart, you know.”
”Ahaha… The fight to the death is the best way to stimulate someone's talent. My teacher said that. And I believed that as well. The proof is you.” He smirked.
”As expected, like teacher like student. Both of you are a sadist.” Evan shook his head. ”I am still thankful for that though.”
”Haha… But seriously, I am hoping you can show me your capability during this mission.” Kai smiled. ”We don't have much time for this upcoming battle.”
”It's fine. I will make sure to catch up. Even if I need to be beaten up, I can simply heal myself with my magic. I will just need to avoid their killing blows, and I will be fine. Just like you said, I might be able to create a gap with my enhanced physical ability… It will be for a moment, but I am sure I can heal myself during that period.”
”The only thing you need is attacking ability then.” Kai nodded.
”Yeah. I am still using one pistol at the moment, but my goal is to use two to increase my firepower.”
”Alright.” Kai nodded.
They then waited for a few minutes until the helicopter landed inside the base.
As soon as Kai came out of the helicopter, he was surprised by the two people coming toward him.
He simply didn't expect to meet two familiar faces in this base.
”General Paolo and General Erica.” Kai widened his eyes before he instinctively saluted.
