Chapter 205: 205

“Well we have started to see a few of them different from the usual ones though. The one I killed earlier is something entirely different though. How did it grow that extra iris and pupil? Both eyes even. *shiver* Hope I don’t see a sprinter with four legs or I’ll burn this whole country to the ground. *laughs* Extra toes would be funny as f.u.c.k though.” I thought to myself.


I said my goodbye to the group for watch duty and I headed to the gym after changing clothes and laying my weapons on my armory first.

When I walked up the stairs, I opened the door towards the gym and the sound of the speakers blasting permeated my ears. From the past week, more and more people started on going to the gym to train their bodies. Since most people from the compound do their designated work in the morning, they would only have the time to go to this place at night after their work is done.

Looking at the huge mat on the side, Kaley and the rest are wearing protective equipment as they were sparring with each other. Brian’s head immediately perked up when he saw me and he waved me over. He’s with Carlo and the rest while Marvin is on the treadmill.

“What? Want to spar again?” I asked as I approached them.

“It’s an everyday thing now. I’ll keep asking for one until I beat you.” he replied as he stretched.

“More like an ass-kicking than a spar.” Carlo chimed.

“Shut up!” Brian yelled.

“Well, if you learn something from every ‘ass-kicking’, that’s good. If not, then you’re just doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. That’s just insanity. *a certain character’s voice* Brian, did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?” I said.

“Why did your voice change suddenly?” he replied.

I inwardly sighed then I took a glance at Kaley. She’s currently waiting for her turn since Tatiana is giving pointers to Alex up close. I was about to call to her but I heard wind getting sliced.

*whoosh*

*clench*


“The f.u.c.k are you up to?” I said while I caught Brian’s fist with my left.

“Oh, shit!” Carlo exclaimed.

“Y’know, cheap shots won’t work on me and it would only piss me off.” I said calmly when I looked at him.

He tried to remove his fist from my grasp but I threw a right straight towards his face. He saw it but he didn’t saw my right foot as a follow up.

*THUD*

It hit his leg then he grimaced. My right fist has already retracted and it is now going to his abdomen. He anticipated it but he can’t evade it because I’m holding him in place. When my fist reached his abdomen, it felt hard since he clenched his muscles to lessen the damage received.

After that, I saw his head coming towards me for a headbutt but I gestured for my fingers about to poke both of his eyes. He immediately hesitated so I slammed my open palm to his left ear. He got discombobulated for a short moment but it is enough time to land a middle kick to his side.

*THUD*

I let go of his fist before performing the kick since I need to get the complete motions to deliver everything completely. Air came out of his mouth then his hands performed a ‘T’ sign, signaling for a timeout before my other heel connected to his head.

“How many times is that now?” Carlo said from the side.

“Shut up! Carlo said he’ll follow after me.” Brian said as he pushed Carlo towards me.

“NOOOOOOOOO~!” Carlo pleaded.


I smirked and I rushed Carlo. He tried to keep his distance by using his reach advantage but I never let up. I aimed shots towards his legs and body so he started to slowly slow down. He started to move around but what surprised me is that Brian joined in to try to take me down.

“Oh~ Interesting.” I thought to myself.

I quickly made my bones from my neck and knuckles crack and the look on their faces made it seem like they heard a death sentence.

Carlo got the distance that he wanted so he kicked forward towards my stomach. Brian is on my right side about to tackle me so I caught Carlo’s kick and pulled him at an angle opposite from Brian so he’d lose his balance. Brian’s tackle was halted since Carlo was now in front of him jumping so he wouldn’t fall down. He looked really silly jumping up and down but I pulled him once more to deliver a kick to his shin. He started to fall down when he grimaced in pain and Brian is already rushing towards me.

“You really want to be sore when you sleep huh?” I said casually.

I fell forward but it was actually a variation of what Kaley did before. My heel followed after that flip and it landed on his left shoulder. All my weight is behind it and he fell faster than me after that kick.

“That’s not fair!” Carlo yelled.

“What? Why?” I asked as they slowly get up.

“You’re supposed to fight us at the same time!” Brian added.

“I did, and you both lost, miserably.” I said, laughing.

“But you fought us one by one even if-” I cut him off.

“Exactly. I’m not gonna be the idiot would plow through with the numbers advantage. I just positioned myself better than the two of you. I’d just get hit if I let you two do what you want. I also need to hold back to not injure the two of you so you’d be able to do our work tomorrow. I could take you both if that’s what you want to happen but you won’t be able to do anything tomorrow. I did hit a little hard on Brian though with that last kick.” I explained.


“A little?! This shit f.u.c.k.i.n.g hurts!” he exclaimed.

“Yeah, a little. I didn’t aim for your head so they won’t carry you home.” I said.

“Sky, how strong really are you?” Marvin chimed from the side.

“Heh. Get stronger yourself so you’ll know. Words are just words.” I replied then I started to do my routine. Time quickly passed inside the gym while a few more people started to try to request pointers from me. I obliged though I held back with some of them since they are still learning. A few of them have learned a few techniques to defend themselves but developing their bodies is still the most important thing I wanted them to continue on doing.

The soldiers we recruited before are performing obviously well on their training even if we still need to modify a few more things to fit in my group nicely. Their main purpose here is to protect this place and be our main fighting power against anything that would threaten our safety. I obviously wanted everyone here to learn everything possible but that would take a long time. I decided to make people specialize on one thing first and slowly branch out to learn other things. There are a few exceptions obviously like Kaley and a few others that absorbs everything quickly.

We finished training then Kaley and I decided to take a long hot bath from the tub on the 2nd floor of my house after a short rest. I was hugging her from behind while we enjoy the heated water.

“Hmm~ this is really nice. I wish I could fall asleep in hot water like this.” she said as she’s leaning towards me.

“Yeah, I miss the hot springs from the mountains though. They’re several times better than what we have here.” I said.

“Mountains? Oh! From Japan, right?” she said as she sinks more.

“Yeah. Remember the old man I’m talking about? He’s the one that made the katana and the wakizashi we’re using, the tanto too. They own a mountain there, they have it for generations and generations.” I said.

“What do you think they’re doing over there? Since you know…” she asked.

“Them? As long as zombies can’t use guns they’ll live. That is the place where I learned how to wield them first.” I said.


“Well, the people who taught you how to use those must be crazy strong like you. I wish I could meet them.” she replied as she leaned her back even more when she stretched her feet.

“That is true. You’d like them. They’re really nice people.” I said.

“Are they from your dad’s side?” she asked.

“Oh, not at all. It’s actually a coincidence where I met them. I’m a little kid who happened to follow an old man carrying a huge box. It’s crazy, I tell you.” I said, smiling.

“Really?! Tell me that story!” she said excitedly.

“You really like stories huh?” I said while I palm a bit of water into her head.

“Not really, I just like stories about you…” she trailed.

“Oh really~? You’ll find this funny then.” I said as I started.

“Okay, this happened when I was still in grade school. We had a trip to Japan to visit my dad’s relatives there. On a corner of a shrine, I was hearing thumping and shouting. I followed it subconsciously and found a shop making Mochis. One of them is carrying a wooden hammer while quickly hammering the green dough to make them while the other one repositions them by his hand quickly.” I said.

“Oh! I’ve seen them make it like that actually.” she chimed.

“Cool, right?” I said.

“But where’s the part where you followed an old man? That’s your old man Kaiseki right?” she said.

“Yeah, well…” I continued.
