Blood Assimilation

148 Each Other’s Fury

After the red-haired young man left, Instructor Ava continued staring in the distance for a while, and then she suddenly muttered under her breath: “Crimson, huh? What a strange guy.”

Soon after, she turned her gaze away to the other instructors and then urged to send another voice message to the military to ask for reinforcements.

Meanwhile, she had the students that were not injured return back to the school buses, and as for those that were injured, she had them laid on the ground as carelessly moving them might exacerbate their injuries.

Originally, there were planning to take a break, but this unexpected situation prevented that from happening and now many students were injured in the process, they even lost one instructor.

Right now, they can only hope that the military would send the medics and healers over quickly so that the student could be saved.

A while later.

After the military received the report sent to them, they immediately came over with the medics and the healers that they could find at the moment.

Not only that, but they also made a quick decision to have the injured students transported via ambulance back to Sky Rise City.

However, this time, after hearing of the unexpected situation that unfolded from Instructor Ava and the other instructors due to lack of ample protection on the way and not wanting to repeat their previous mistakes this time again, they had some of the soldiers escort the ambulances back to Sky Rise City.

.....

...

On the other side.

Sky Rise City, Inside A Luxury Hotel.

At this moment, David Silvermoon just received a status report regarding the recent mission that he had his faithful and loyal fulfill through his communication device.

However, after hearing what his subordinate had to say, he immediately fumed in anger and frustration.

“What the fuck do you mean that someone intervened during testing?! Who did? Forget that! Did you confirm that brat’s death or not?!”

[This... Young Lord, we couldn’t find him amongst the students so we’re not sure if he was there. But it is safe to say that he wasn’t injured or dead during the attack]

The subordinate carefully said this despite knowing the consequence and meaning of the words he just said.

“Fuck! Useless! Everyone is useless! Why do I have useless people around me, huh?! You couldn’t even do such a simple task of killing one brat?! If not because of your loyalty to me all these years, I would’ve fired you already!” David Silvermoon said in a furious tone.

“Shit! What do I tell that person... Right, did you record the battle between RA-001 and the students or the instructors?” He asked after calming down a bit.

[We did manage to secure momentary footage of its attack on the school bus. But then it started to chase after someone, and since we didn’t anticipate such a thing happening, there were no surveillance robots to go after it. Before we arrived at the scene of battle between it and the person it was chasing, their fight was almost drawing to a conclusion. And it seems like it only managed to use the dark energy for a brief moment before it was ruthlessly killed by that person with the red hair] The subordinate quickly replied.

“Red hair...?” David Silvermoon muttered as he bit his lips in annoyance.

“Who is that person? Did you find out about his identity?” He asked afterward.

[We did not find out about his identity, but we did find someone similar to him in terms of appearance. He recently appeared in the virtual world and defeated the apprentice of that sword saint]

“He defeated that sword saint’s apprentice? Are referring to Li Weisheng? Wasn’t he that genius sword cultivator who was hailed to be even more talented than his own teacher when it comes to the sword? Someone like him lost to a nobody? That can’t be right.” David Silvermoon said in disbelief.

[That is the truth, Young Lord. Not only did that person defeat Li Weisheng with some strange ability, but I also even heard that he recently defeated the Fist King’s disciple, Chen Feng, and many others in the top 10 of the Fourth-Rank Combat Power Level Division. The only person that he hadn’t fought yet in the top 10 would the number one in the ranking] The subordinate explained.

“So he did not fight that wild young girl yet, huh?” David Silvermoon muses for a bit, and then he immediately snaps back to his senses, realizing that this information does not matter or alleviate the failure of his mission.

Bang!

“Fuck! Just why is nothing working out ever since I met that brat! And now, this unknown variable is messing with my mission. Just who is he? And what was he doing in the Beast Forest at that time? Is it just a coincidence that he appeared at the right time? Not only that, but the brat is most likely alive because of his intervention. Although I am not concerned about the brat seeking revenge since I am certain that he doesn’t know I was the one behind this, this outcome is still too undesirable!”

David Silvermoon thrashed the living room of the hotel he was staying in as he said all these in resentment and fury.

“Do everything you can to find out the identity of that bastard that dared to intervene with my mission!” He firmly gave out his order after a while of brooding over his current situation.

[Understood, Young Lord] The subordinate firmly replied in a serious tone of voice.

...

At another location.

Eastern District, Sky Rise City, The Center of the City.

Inside A Certain Reinforced High-Rise Building.

At this moment, a man with a strong-looking build sat on his chair in his office as he listened to a report from his subordinate through the communication device on his table.

“What?! What the hell happened!” The man abruptly raised his voice upon hearing the initial words of the report.

[As I said before, we just received news from the military that the academy students who were on their way to their base were suddenly attacked by some unknown monster with multiple body features from different animals, and apparently, it was ultimately defeated by an unknown individual with red hair, so there were fewer casualties. With the exception of one dead instructor, some of the students had severe life-threatening injuries but with the help of medics and healers brought over by the military, they were saved] The subordinate reported.

“That’s not it! My son... My son was on that trip! What were those army bastards doing inviting the students over without any protection? Do they think the Beast Forest is safe now? Just because the surrounding monsters and beasts near the constructed path in the forest had been cleared beforehand? Are they crazy? If something were to happen to my son because of this, I would personally go and visit them and demand an explanation; if they do not give me a satisfactory explanation, I’ll make sure they regret ever causing harm to my family with their reckless actions!!”

The man furiously declared in a cold tone without caring about his current location or who was listening to him at this moment.
