Chapter 50
As mankind continued their daily routine and carried out their mundane and routine activities, without realizing the subtle changes happening around them, the events that transpired concerning the assessment, survival test, and training were never from again, but that does not mean Mr. Thomas and the people supporting them stop. Some concerning reports filled the city as numerous unexplainable attacks were reported from different parts of the globe. Many eyewitnesses testified that the attackers were not humans. Many religions desperately tried to hide these facts, and some even used this opportunity to increase their hold on humanity as they preached that the world is filled with sinners.
The world was shifting toward something new. As the sun started to shine once again the wind blew as if a storm were approaching. While every nation from different continents greeted the new day, something burst from thin air as a swirling fusion of energy just manifested from nothing. nothing; those who were within its reach were either pushed aside or got hurt from the surge of electricity and fire.
These small pokes of energy were rifts into the unknown. A savage creature came out of it and started attacking people. These rifts remained open until the creature that obstructed them from the other side was eliminated. The energy feeding the rift was severed completely. This was the calamity that Mr. Thomas mentioned a few weeks ago.
Those who participated in the training were eliminated, and the energy feeding the rift was severed completely. This was the calamity that Mr. Thomas mentioned a few weeks ago. Those who participated in the training were eliminated, and the energy feeding the rift was severed completely. This was the calamity that Mr. Thomas mentioned a few weeks ago. Those who participated in the training were able to fight back. Many called these people heroes until the world government finally acknowledged that they were able to control and use different types of supernatural abilities to fight the creature that was pouring out of the rift.
And because of this, even these ability users must be managed, trained, gain authority, like in the military, and given appropriate ranks and salaries based on their ability and contribution to mankind. Soon, a large number of professional and non-professional workers from all types of fields registered and officially became licensed users. These individuals were officially called
"Knights."
acknowledging the significance of these historical warriors and their impact on the world as they stood for honor, integrity, courage and lastly valor, each knight has an identifying rank from corporal knight to knight general, and each knight serves a lord; these are the city governor or mayor. All these changes were based on the manner in which these creatures came and the significance of the attack among the people and its surroundings.
Because when a rift manifests within a place the chaotic energy it produces is so strong that it is similar to an electro magnetic impulse that short circuits all electronic devices, the affected area could reach up to a mile in radius. Guns and melee weapons were the preferred armor to deal with this treat. At the same time, Mr. Thomas became the representative of the newly established association to manage all these ability users, and because of the use of the Knight term to identify the ability user, everything that surrounded the phenomenon shifted backwards and started implementing a medieval-age culture and mindset .
Nobody expected that this merge of two different timelines in history would be effective. Many never saw this come to life. As medieval weapons and items were combined with the use of high powered guns and technology, it was a merger of two violent generations.
After a year, other names were used to refer to these user abilities: these were called war knights. These ability users didn't want to gain fame or wealth; they used their abilities under the cloak of darkness and secrecy.
and the most known and mysterious un rank and unregistered ability user war knight was wearing nothing but dark green military tactical pants and a black hoody jacket, and another person wearing a red cap, both wearing face masks to conceal their identities, were seen killing hordes of hobgoblins that came out of a rift that coincidentally manifested in the industrial district, inside a warehouse at midnight.
News about this became a trending topic as the hooded man, armed with just a knife, carved and massacred the monsters like they were made of butter, and the woman was burning the creatures with her fire ability. Many saw that these two were enjoying the hunt; many investigators and social media influencers followed, and two exploits were seen.
As they were seen, many more times in places were the rift manifested. That was still unknown to the knight association. These two were not registered knights, and what they were doing was making the Knight Association a target for ridicule and skepticism. The mysterious duo continued their monster-hunting spree, drawing both admiration and concern from the public. not knowing that they never wanted this to happen in the first place. Investigations continued as the association wanted to know everything about these two individuals.
as the shadow knight and crimson knight became huge and popular among the masses. The association feared that their unauthorized actions would undermine the credibility of registered knights. Despite their growing popularity, the shadow knight and crimson knight remained elusive, leaving the association with more questions than answers.
A few months ago, Ethan and Katarine continued with their lives and were happy about it, but secretly, Ethan continued to train and requested his father to help him, as the news about this conspiracy had already reached his ear, Nethaniel Abelard. Haniel made sure to give Ethan his best gear, knowing that this scenario would eventually come, and it did. Ethan received the package from his father everything he ever needed was inside that wooded crate.
Katarine was also secretly trained, as she could produce enough aura to cast unseen, explosive fire force on her hand. She noticed that her relationship with Ethan was a strong catalyst for making her mind clearer and more focused. She was not able to control her ability before, as it would run wild and explode with so much force, destroying everything around her.
