Chapter 19 - The Recognition He Deserves...

In the lecture room...

*...so I want you to keep in mind that the army sent in the Central World is our first defense. The thing called interface, "Main Interface", is what the Alliance is protecting there, connecting the place to all worlds that under it. So how come there are still beasts that keep appearing in our worlds,,, that's because there's we called Moving Portal that can appear to any world for beast to use as entrance in entering a world. So imagine if the Main Interface will be open for beasts and two or more beasts appear on Earth at the same time. The worst scenerio is a herd of beasts will come. If one beast can easily kill more than a hundrend people then how much more for a herd? That's why Earth is also training soldiers aside from the one billion army that were sent every ten years.

Went to the next slide before;

*What I want to make clear to you is the types of beasts out there. Of course some are still unknown but at least we know most of them. There's a complete list in our E-library so you can check it out. Because what I will talk here is the important things and you have the resposibility to know more. Alright, let's start to the beast that appeared here on Earth. But first, you should know that beast were also graded by their strength and uniqueness. Like gifted humans, there are four grades and grade four beasts are the strongest. The first creature that appeared here on our land was categorized as grade one.

Went to look at everyone as she;

*I only know one person here who has the guts to fight a beast and I'm not sure of the rest.

This statement, challenged everyone's pride and ego for someone to arrogantly stand up and directly;

*It seems that the instructor look down on us. You can say the words to those grade one and two trainees but not us grade three. As a future multi-gifted soldier, I'm confident to be able to fight a grade one beast in a one on one battle.

Such big words from someone who speaks without permission, this lecturer decided to lecture the person saying;

*It's good to have confidence to one's self but you should not overestimate your capability. I had witnessed a grade one beast ravage an experienced grade three soldier and here you are, telling me that you can fight it one on one. First important thing for you to keep in mind: all beasts are stronger than humans in nature so never fight even the lowest grade one beast or you will regret it in your next life. I'm not even sure if you can stay calm if a beast appear in front of you and wouldn't run away so better take your seat young man and let me educate you.

Had that look of a person who's not convinced as he take his seat.

After all, the one in front of him is a doctor and scientist who knows a lot about many things.

For that, this lecturer continue her lecture about beasts who appeared on Earth.

The way he talks and explains, these trainees easily understand.

After hours of talking, finally came to the latest beast who just appear in the country.

Yang just want to sit and listen but didn't expect for this instructor to;

*Mr. Yang, can you please share your first experience in facing a beast. I'm sure your fellow trainees will learn a lot from it.

As soon as the words sounded, there's a complete silence in the room.

Even the talkative Soledad went to cover her mouth not to accidentally speak.

Now that he was called, Yang was obedient to stand up and head to the platform.

This lecturer hand over the portable microphone for him to directly;

*It was night at that time in a park for amusement. I just came out from a restaurant when I heard screams not far away. I didn't hesitate to rush towards the direction where the sound came from and saw the beast that looks like a lion but many times fiercer. With a knife in my hand, I want to attack with the element of surprise but the beast was about to bite someone so I called its attention. A dangerous thing to do but at least I have the ability to fight back compare to a young girl. The most important thing to have in that situation is presence of mind. For than, I was able to dodge the beast's first attack with a speed that I didn't expect. With too much gap in speed, its second attack almost killed me if I didn't move my body. Bitting off my whole left arm, went to stab the beast on the neck. But beasts are really tougher than humans for it to attack right away. I know at that time that it's the end for me and just want to leave another wound but luck suddenly favored me for the beast's back legs to slip from something on the ground. A vulnerable target, I took advantage of it and stab the beast on the eye. Fortunately, the blow killed it and I was lucky to live for me to be here.

Gave back the portable mic to the lecturer and went back to his seat.

There's a complete silence once again in the room until this instructor went to;

*I hope you learn something from Mr. Yang's story. Just his courage, I want everyone to take it as an example.

But this statement, the multi-gifted young man who spoke earlier once again went to open his mouth saying;

*A weak beast, I can kill it easily.

This time, the instructor has no intention to hold back and said;

*I have no problem with people who are a little arrogant but in your case, it will cause a problem in the future. Because the thing called envy, it will drive anyone to do something bad. And I can tell that you have that possibility; so as early as now, you will be monitored. Don't think you will be tolerated for being a multi-gifted because a mentally unstable person is like a ticking bomb in the army...
