The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 56: Three types

Cain returned to his room, and after paying his respect to his father’s altar, he took a quick shower and went to sleep. Although he wanted to train, he needed to rest properly.

In the following days, he spent every free moment training the Fiend Devourer Cultivation Technique. Using the Dark Race’s blood still proved effective, allowing him to save the hearts for a higher cultivation step, where the amount of Astral Wave needed would be higher.

Cain had decided to kill Clacius, but although taking care of that man in a one-on-one battle would be easy, there was no way a mayor would not have protection. He would likely have to face that Level 4 Astral Wave Warrior he saw in Clacius’ office, so he needed to grow stronger.

He had just woken up on Monday and was ready to march into the auditorium for his Wave Mastery class when a message arrived through the [A.I. Chip Module]

[Saint of Killers, you have been awarded 950 Imperial Military Credits for fulfilling mission C-23.

—

Saint of Killers, you have been awarded 520 Imperial Military Credits for handing over Wave Artifacts found during mission C-23.]

.....

Cain’s eyes narrowed as he heard those messages and saw his Imperial Military Credits skyrocket. Part of the reason he gained so much was an extra reward for the criminals being captured alive. Besides, all missions that involved investigation had a bonus.

Although seeing so many Imperial Military Credits was exciting, Cain did not let it go to his head.

The mission paid a great deal, but you have to consider that they faced several Wave Warriors, and a wrong step could have meant their death.

It did not take long for Cain to reach the auditorium, and he sat alongside Levi and Beelze. The trio made some small talk when Cain suddenly noticed someone.

Cain glanced to a corner of the auditorium and saw a woman completely isolated. No noble or commoner wanted to be anywhere near her.

Beelze and Levi noticed the coldness in Cain’s eyes and turned to the woman. The first showed nothing, but the second released a small killing intent.

The woman noticed their gazes but remained calm and kept looking forward.

“I assume that the two of you know her.” Beelze could see the coldness and killing intent, which incited her curiosity.

“Her name is Nira Kilor. I did not see her during last week’s classes. Part of me thought she had found a way out of the military academy, but it seemed she had been recovering.”

Cain’s eyes focused on the woman’s right side and saw a new arm where a stump used to be.

Recovering a lost extremity was not impossible, but the amount of wealth needed was immense. Not to mention that the stronger your body was, the higher the price.

Nira could count herself lucky since she trained the Essence Evolution Path of Power and was only a Level 2 Wave Warrior.

“Oh, so that is the infamous Nira Kilor. The one loathed by everybody.” Beelze did not have many friends, but even she heard the rumors about the treacherous cadet that sacrificed her friend to escape.

“Yes.” Cain nodded, but as he saw Nira sitting by herself, he felt odd.

Of course, Cain did not feel guilty, sad, or anything else like that. If given a chance, he would have ended the woman. What bothered him was the cold and reserved aura he now felt from Nira. It was unlike her arrogant and impulsive personality in the Military Academy Secret Trial.

“She has become dangerous.”

Cain was surprised to hear Apex’s voice and frowned.

‘That new arm must have drained a lot of vitality, affecting her cultivation. I’m confident in killing her if we fight.’

“Brat, her battle power is not what makes it dangerous. In most places, you will find three types of people.

There are those like you and the other two brats by your side. You don’t hide your power, and while you don’t seek the spotlight, you neither hide from it.

Others like Lumir and Zamir are in constant pursuit of the spotlight, and they tend to overestimate their capacities. You will find many people like that in your path, but they are mostly fools.

The third type could be considered the most dangerous. This type is the one that keeps a cold head and maintains a low profile, saving their strength until it is time to strike.”

Cain’s eyes narrowed as a flash of enlightenment appeared in them. The trauma had turned Nira from the second type to the third, making her much more dangerous.

‘I need to do something about her.’ Cain was sure that Nira had not forgotten about him. Sadly, there was little he could do inside the Lightning Imperial Fort.

Total silence reigned in the auditorium once Wink appeared. No one would dare to show disrespect to the mighty Wave Champion, who could unleash attacks faster than the speed of sound.

“I hope all of you have trained during these few days. Today we will focus only on Wave Burst. We will use the first half to test our Wave output. As for the second half, we will combine Wave Burst with Synergy Flow.”

Wink said nothing else before making the cadets stand up and train. He would move through the auditorium, giving hints from time to time and fixing flaws of anyone having a hard time.

As Wink told them, the first half was about improving the amount of Wave they could unleash. Cain’s maximum was a 205% Wave Burst, while that of Levi’s was 211%.

Beelze was an Essence Wave Warrior, so she had a more challenging time in that art and only reached 178%. However, she proved to be much more talented than the other Essence Wave Warriors cadets since the second-best only achieved 161% Wave Burst.

Wink gave the class a half-hour break before going to the second half. Using Synergy Flow with a normal Wave Cloak was already hard, but using it with a bursting Wave Cloak pushed everybody’s concentration to the limit.

Once the class ended, every cadet was both physically and mentally exhausted. Cain and Levi were sweating a lot, like everybody else.

The duo and all the other males did not have a problem with it, but it was harder for women, as not only did they tend to care more about those things, but the sweat affected their clothes.

Many males threw furtive glances at some women, doing their best to hide their lust, and the center of their attention was the one sitting to Cain’s left.

Sadly for all of them, Beelze continuously unleashed a cold breeze that kept her body clean. Still, she gave all those that looked at her a piercing gaze.

Cain and Levi only shook their heads toward the other cadets. Once the class was over, the trio returned to their residences. Like that, the second class of Wave Mastery ended.
