"Yo, William!" Said Alphonse, a comrade of William in the F-3 class
"Yo." I simply replied with an expressionless face. Now I am no longer interested in these weak, in this world everything comes down to power, normally my classmates will only be able to see from afar a rank power (E) like me in all their life, so it is a great privilege and honor to be able to sit in the same class as me.
It may sound arrogant but it is the fundamental truth on which all life is built. If I were the only rank (E) in the world I could even pretend to be a God. My superhuman body and my powers allow it. Becoming the God of Death would be relatively easy with my immortal army as proof.
Obviously I was not close to any of them either because in this world only individual strength is respected, relying on my comrades will only weaken my will. Only team deathmatch can allow people on the same team to become friends.
Woooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn
Suddenly I hear the alarm ringing through the whole town followed by excited screams from all my comrades following. I was like them in the past because this alarm is synonymous with battle and therefore an opportunity to break through!
However this kind of battle in this remote location only involves ranks (F) so I am not allowed to intervene as I am now a rank (E), plus this sort of thing would stain my honor. On the other hand, something is fishy, this kind of big battle appears about every 10 years but it has only been 5 years since the last big battle. But in any case it doesn't concern me, I'm just going to go and enjoy a good show.
I walk slowly towards the south of the city but each of my steps propelled me to tens of meters impressive all the other people beside me.
"It must be the famous William who has just broken through the rank (E), the rumor was real!"
"Wow, he looks so young, the patriarch broke through at the age of 28 and he was hailed as a genius at the time but this young man must be at most 18 years old"
I heard this kind of thing going towards the wall which was visible even from the center of the city, it was about ten meters high and even I felt slightly intimidated.
After all this wall withstood centuries of battle, blood has flowed in tens of thousands of liters on this wall, giving it a sort of invisible aura. As I approached the walls I could see the solemn faces of many people.
I jumped leaving a footprint on the ground and reached straight for the top of the wall. Finally even I took a slight breath when I saw the scene in front of my eyes.
300 soldiers forming 3 squares of 100 men. In front of each square there was a man. The 3 men gave off an extremely fierce aura completely clothed in their armor except that they had no helmets. It is an unspoken rule that commanders on the battlefield show their faces because otherwise vicious people could use this to their advantage such as swapping places with a soldier to do a surprise massacre in the ranks (F)
Seeing them releasing their aura without restraint, even I felt threatened but it only accentuated my desire to fight them. It's been 3 days since the update and still no news from the system. Even I was starting to get a bit of an itch without having had a fight for so long.
But that didn't mean I was a complete fool, I'll just look for my own death by going out now. Surrounded by 3 rows (E) and 300 rows (F) I would definitely die.
As I, hunters and future soldiers watched the enemy army from the wall, I sensed danger so I turned to finally see a man of about 40 with an extremely cold face, giving off a very intimidating aura followed by 100 warriors completely covered by their black armor run towards the south door, they crossed it and positioned themselves in square about 100 meters from the enemies.
These soldiers exuded a momentum no weaker than their enemies, showing their desire to fight and perhaps to become the next patriarch. Every soldier is born with a mountain of dead bodies under their feet, this kind of dire situation they've known so many times that they've gone numb.
The 4 commanders let the aura completely escape them. Since taking out your aura does not require any effort when you reach rank (E). After all it is just the manifestation of will, this manifestation has no effect against the ranks (E) but it is very effective in intimidating the enemy and boosting the morale of his army.
As the situation really started to get tense, I saw from the wall, Yol's patriarch, Arthur with a very cold voice, breaking the situation.
"Edward, Frederick, Charles, may I know what you are doing?" Are you really planning to trample on your honor by taking advantage of your top number? Even I feel embarrassed for you. »At this mention, I saw the faces of the 3 commanders become contorted.
It was Edward, a man of about 40 with long blond hair who replied:
"Arthur, yourself you know that the emergence of such a genius in your city will destabilize the whole political situation in the Northern Kingdom, some people will be afraid of his potential so we have no choice otherwise it is our city that will end up in your situation "Edward sighed.
Frédéric, a man of about 50 with a long scar on his face who resumed after Edward:
"Edward is absolutely right, this genius has a small chance of becoming a rank (D) in the future, if he really does, then he will have the strength to overthrow the current monarchy and even if he does not become one he will be." unparalleled rank (E) at the same rank, which still threatens the interests of many people. "
Charles the oldest of them, around 60 years old, with an ordinary appearance, added calmly:
"This genius is our only chance to become a 2nd order clan in the capital, many facilities to strengthen our strength will be made available to us and to our descendants, we cannot let such an opportunity slip away, even our personal army will be enlarged several times "
"Arthur, this is a world where the strong devour the weak, you can't blame us, if this genius had appeared in our cities you would have done the same…" Edward concluded looking at Arthur seriously.
Hearing their word my face, an uncontrollable smile appeared on my face looking very strange but luckily everyone was focused on the battlefield. Moreover it seems that Arthur agrees with me when I heard him answer:
"You coward, if I were you I would never have allied with other people and instead I will finally find an opportunity to strengthen my will. In any case, making a good 1v3 should be able to improve my will to a certain extent "Arthur mocked, looking disdainfully at his 3 opponents.
"Brave soldier of Yol, here is your only opportunity, live with your sword, break your limits and become an existence without equal!" Arthur cried, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
"WOOOOOOOAAAAAW" Yol's soldiers roared in response to their Patriarch's cries and began to charge in total chaos as they watched the army in front of them which was 3 times their size.
Caught off guard Edward, Frederick and Charles shouted at the same time:
"Charge" but none of the commanders took the lead and everyone expected knowing that the protagonist was none of them.
Both sides quickly found their opponents, the sounds of clashing metal quickly echoed, followed by screams and finally human body limbs soaring in the sky one after the other.
Blood quickly began to spill over each soldier. In just a few tens of seconds the corpses were already present everywhere. Sometimes you would find some soldier using the corpses of their friends to block a sword blow and then counterattack, but no one cared, war does not allow mercy under any circumstances, it is only by using all the means at his disposal that a warrior is qualified as a soldier!
Observing the chaotic situation a few hundred meters ahead I decide to intervene, after all I have no reason to wait any longer. I got into position on the wall, drawing the eyes of those around me, to produce a huge shock wave under my feet unsettling everyone tens of meters away.
I land directly in the middle of the battlefield causing another shock wave to sweep through all the soldiers nearby. The battlefield stopped momentarily then I felt all eyes focus on me.
I slowly rose from my kneeling posture as I landed. I responded with my own gaze to each of them. All without exception have the feeling that gravity suddenly increased threatening to break their spines in half. I assumed an arrogant posture, putting my hands in my pockets. My sweatshirt and my black jeans stood out a lot in their midst. Then I say calmly:
"Don't waste my time, come all at the same time" Meanwhile, coming from my shadow, 2 lines of 20 skeletons appear from nothing, moments later 3 swordsman skeletons appeared slightly in front.
Finally the master swordsman appeared behind me, measuring 2.5 in height, he dominated the entire battlefield and all the soldiers on the battlefield began to tremble violently at my coercion and that of my subordinate.
Finally I looked away from the soldiers then these soldiers could finally breathe, the bravest looked at me again only to see a devilish smile appear on my mouth when I stared at my real opponents. At this moment Edward, Frédéric and Charles seriously questioned themselves if it was really wise to have a hostile relationship with this young man.
