Chapter 107 - 107: Back to the Orphanage (2/2)

”Theo, did you manage to find the Orc Village?” Yuki who was sitting at the table with Theo, Shina and Zaira asked.

”Yeah, it was actually straightforward to find, well… I ended up exterminating them all and also made it to the 12th Layer of the Higher Student Kingdom!” Theo said with a satisfied smile.

”Oh! Congratulations on your advancement, Theo!” They all exclaimed in unison, not really caring that he had exterminated the entire village of Orcs.

From the perspective of the (Monsters), they must think that justice is on their side and the others are evil.

But for Yuki and themselves, it really didn't matter. Only weak-hearted people would be disturbed by this kind of situation. But they never tried to make excuses by killing the (Monsters) for being evil or something. It was quite simple: they got stronger killing them, and they were the same. Very often, Orcs, Goblins, etc. attacked others for power. They will even attack their own kind if it's something that will help them. Of course, Humans, Demi-Humans, Animals, etc. were no different.

”Hmm. Changing the subject… have you chosen which techniques you want?” Theo asked.

A few days before, Theo handed them a book describing techniques for their respective affinities. It was easier for them to choose techniques that might be more helpful to them since they each knew themselves better than anyone else.

With a heavy sigh, Shina said, ”Before choosing a technique, I'd like to awaken a Lineage.”

”Oh?! Is that so?” Theo asked, surprised. Previously she had said that she wanted to wait longer before doing so since she had heard how painful the awakening of a Lineage was.

”Yes!” Shina answered now with her voice without the slightest hesitation.

Theo said with a smile, ”Well, let's do it later today then, okay?”

”Yes, I understand.” Shina nodded.

Theo looked at Zaira and asked her, ”What about you, Zaira? Do you also want to awaken a Lineage?”

”That…” Zaira was surprised because she knew the importance of a Lineage, and she ”saw” how much her sister got. Zaika was stronger, and her form improved after she awoke her Lineage. So Zaira craved one too. She gulped, sighed and said, ”Yes, I would!”

”Okay, then we'll do it later too!” Theo smiled.

”Yeah!” They agreed.

Zaika who also heard that. She was more than happy for her sister, who would now also get a Lineage and increase her strength.

”For now, I would be happy with the same attack technique that Theo shared with Little Yui,” said Yuki.

Theo smiled and said, ”Fine, I'll pass it to you later!”

”Yes, thank you!” Yuki smiled.

Zaika said: ”I still don't know what to choose, but I think at the moment the techniques I gained along with my Lineage are enough. There is no use of having many techniques and not being able to master them!”

”Yes, you are right! A technique with greater understanding is better than many techniques with no real skill behind them!” Theo nodded in agreement.
