Chapter 873: Resonance Degrees 1
In the alley, a young man wearing grey army uniform walked in. He took a look at the girl on the floor, and then another look at the Authoritative Bureau man by his side who was scared from the shock. In the end, his eyes fell upon the monitoring camera on the wall that was broken by something. That was the camera that Garen smashed just now.
"You two are useless! You couldn't get rid of the new student even with the Destruction Gun."
He wore a thick greyish-black cloak on this back. The cloak wasn't long, it just completely covered his entire back. On the top, it was as if it was animal fur; it shone in a glossy luster. A blood colored sword pattern in the center was wrapped between two concentric circles, making it seem like the blood red color was aiming at the star-shaped pattern, and giving off a luxurious and mysterious feeling.
"Brother Fila! He... That guy before this! He wanted to kill me!" At that moment, the Authoritative Bureau's man's face became pale as he cried out loud. In that split second just now, he almost thought he was going to die. That terrifying claw did not give him the chance the react. Even if his Level Four Willpower had greatly improved his response speed and strength, he still would not be able to defend himself under that claw.
"Goldfish," Fila ignored him. Instead, he looked at the woman on the floor, "if it wasn't for your brother, I would not even be bothered with your personal enmity." There wasn't a single hint of warmth and emotion in his eyes. It was as if he was a real snake, even his pupils were vertical.
"Thank you, Senior Fila," Goldfish seemed a little afraid of this man as she stood up and answered with her head down, and low voice. Her body was also shaking a little, uncontrollably. Her eyes glanced at the formal clothes in which Fila was wearing. Her heart was pumping.
Fila was ranked as the best expert under Red-Eyed Medero. In the whole of the Inner Courtyard, he ranked fifth. Although he was a level lower compared to Red Eyes' and others' Full-Moon Level, for an average student, he was far more powerful than the top three of the preparatory three.
The reason was that his character was always the same, neither happy nor angry. He was just moody.
Yet in his formal clothes, it was obvious that he was prepared to attend a formal ceremony. So she was the one who ruined his mood... Although this account did not seem like a big deal, Fila would definitely make her brother remember this!
Only then did Goldfish felt a cold breeze. Fila's greed was infamous throughout the Inner Courtyard. Almost everyone who had dealt with him has suffered.
This time, she really hated that new guy that attacked her so much, that she gnashed her teeth. However, she could imagine that her brother might not have known how much it would cost to settle this Fila.
The Authoritative Bureau man suddenly thought of that as well, and his face became darker.
-----------------------
Slowly walking into the small courtyard of Professor Van Doe's villa, Garen lifted his head to let the detection device core scan his pupil.
"Poor Student Nono, you look like you're suffering from a serious injury. Do you need me to arrange a treatment for you?" The villa's detection device had the sharp voice of a middle-aged man. It was this villa's central management intelligence -- Hill.
"No need. I will not fall for your poor quality drugs," Garen laughed as if he had no injuries, and then he slowly entered the front courtyard. However, his pale face still could not hide the huge amount of energy he lost.
The strong Willpower was still tormenting his body. If it wasn't for this physique, that was stronger than most people, there was no way he could have defended himself from the pulling of that Willpower.
The Level Five unknown Willpower was constantly resisting the remnants of the opponent's Willpower. But it was obvious that their levels were very far apart, as if with one touch and he would collapse.
"Why are you calling it poor quality drugs? The injury in your body is an invasion of Willpower, and it is not an ordinary trick; it is a Half-Moon Level Master's Willpower. More so, it is one of those who is about to break through," Hill giggled. "You really don't need my help? If you're not careful, do you know this is a fatal injury?"
As a Knowledge Core, he was not any other normal intelligence. Instead, he used to be a human. Furthermore, he was an experiment that surprisingly survived in Van Doe's experiment. His memories were washed away, but he became the biochemical brain that manages this place.
Over hundreds of years, it probably had seen many Students that had High Level Willpower invade their bodies. With this kind of injury, there usually isn't any professional expelling devices. Only a small number of students were able to make the medicine using their own secret medicine. Without drug assistance, most of them would either end up disabled, or helpless because of the dysfunction of the internal organs.
When Garen came here, the first thing he did was understand the various commodity price lists provided by this intelligence. With comparison to the price out there, this was simply the world's top profiteer. Originally, the prices in the Inner Courtyard had to be twice as expensive as the outside world. However, the prices in here were double the price of the Inner Courtyard's which was absolutely a death trap.
Listening to Hill's grumbling behind his back, Garen walked back to his room as if nothing had happened. As a Student of Van Doe, he had to pay a learning fee of one million Universal Units every year. At the same time, he had to assist the Professor by carrying out at last three experimental jobs. What he got in return was a shelter from the Professor, as well as the rights to purchase special goods that are not available elsewhere.
One should know that even though Hill was greedy, he still had good things that could not be bought elsewhere. Many of them were Hill's private stuff.
Moreover, another benefit he had was having a small room for him to live in.
As he entered the room, the walls of the bedroom were white. There was a bed, a chair, a table with a lamp, and nothing else.
Garen shut the door, and it gave a beep-like sound of the door locking.
Only then did he let out a harsh breath. The wound on his back was burning with pain, and his internal organs were still entangled with his Willpower. However, this Willpower given by the Forbidden Core, Red Moon seemed to be very powerful. Although the Levels weren't that far apart, it was still able to hold on for two seconds, unlike the destructiveness of the eagle's claw Willpower. In this constant consumption, one would be able to constantly use that touch of unrooted Willpower.
"That bastard is amazing," Garen harshly spit out a breath. This was still him. If it was someone else, their organs would have exploded in the very beginning. There was no way they could have lived.
"Fila..."
From his own suitcase, he took out his tablet and typed quickly. Once he was online, he started searching.
A red virtual keyboard was projected downwards onto the table. Garen quickly extended his hand and a knocking sound of his typing could be heard.
With the knocking sounds of the keyboard, all the information regarding the Inner Courtyard's Fila quickly appeared.
A photo of a handsome man with a slight trace of blemishes showed up. He was dressed in a military uniform, with the silvery colonel ranking Silver Star sat on both his shoulders.
'Fila Remington -- ranked fifth in the Inner Courtyard, a top talent from the Remington Family. The Chief of the 105th Senior Students of the Inner Courtyard. Age: ? . Captain of the Special Forces in the Inner Courtyard's Administrative Bureau. Commander-in-Chief of the Third Military Mech Corps of the Military Command. The year of 78, he achieved first in the battle of special pilots between three regions. The year of 52, he achieved third place in the Task Force Competition of the Central Academy. He got a special engine as a reward. He has served as the Director of Central Reporting's Special Service Department in the Blackboard Region, Vice President of the Hualian Commerce Association, Managing Director of Annier Group..."
Behind that was a series of his various titles.
Garen swept his eyes across that bunch of titles, completely ignore a huge chunk of useless information, and looked at the evaluations at the end.
'Strength evaluation: Level Five of Half-Moon Level; could break through to Full-Moon Level at any time. As the older group of the Inner Courtyard's Elite Students, Fila is famous for his Shapeless Snake Training Method. However, he was always suppressed by the top four, causing him to not improve further. He does not make a breakthrough by suppressing his own strength might be because he wanted to lay a better foundation in order for him to defeat the top four experts.
"Half-Moon Level," Garen sighed. He could feel the Willpower in his body was gradually consumed by his own Level Five nameless Willpower. Only a little of the battling remnants were left, so it should not take much longer until it would be completely gone.
Garen was now much more relaxed.
"No doubt it's the Support Training Method." Garen had also searched for anything related to the results of heavy damages caused by Willpower. Under the circumstances of no professional instrumental treatment, or no medicinal assistance, the results were either ending up a disabled person or death. There were no exceptions. Such injury like the bleeding of the arteries, if it is not treated quickly, the end result would be death.
However, this training method given by Red Eyes allowed him to self-repair to defeat foreign Willpower.
It was also his original plan, that if it did not go well, his only choice was for Hill to take a look at him. But now, he had put away most of his worries.
Fila's name was repeating in his mind. Garen also paid attention to several other of his comprehensive rankings.
In the history of the entire Inner Courtyard, there were 48 people whom he needed to beware of, those Students who had achieved Level Five. Among them, eight people had achieved New-Moon Level, another four had achieved Half-Moon Level, and only three people had achieved Full-Moon Level. However, the surprising thing was that these masters either went to the army or held a position in some other places like Britney who had her name at the top. But in fact, she had left Inner Courtyard at an early age, becoming one of the leaders of the Blue Narcissus.
As for the three candidates of Three Black Rain Generals, they were also in the rankings. Just that they were positioned very far behind. More so, they only had a Level Four of Willpower.
It was obvious that this ranking was old information. Most of the figures above were comprehensive rankings of students who had graduated in the past.
It wasn't the current ranking of the students in the Inner Courtyard.
Again, Garen carefully searched for current information.
A new list appeared on the screen. Though unfortunately, this list represented the current rankings of the masters of the Inner Courtyard. This made him a little disappointed, but Fila's name did not exist on this list.
Ranked as the first was Black Star Diofie. Then among three of them ranked after him were Red-Eyed Medero, and he could not recognize the other two men -- Karfi and Narisiss.
After the three of them were the three young people, who were known as Black Light, were honored as the future Three Black Rain Generals. However, the three of them only had Level Four of Willpower, not even close to Level Five. At the same time, there were still in the midst of training their Mechs. Though the resonance degree tests were very high, and they had a Half-Moon Level. They were masters with high potential.
Then, it was followed by the masters of Black Light. From the fourth ranking to the fifteenth, there were fifteen people in total. These people had special benefits of calling themselves as the Black Light Reserve. However, there wasn't a lot of information on that.
This list was much weaker than the ones before, but only a few names could be found on both the lists. Among one of them was Black Star Diofie, and then it was the three of them from the top -- Red-Eyed Medero, Karfi, and Narisiss. They were all masters of Full-Moon Level. Another thing Garen accidentally realized was that status of Medero and the other three seemed a little weird. The information on their Willpowers was labeled as Level Four, though it was obvious that it was because of their special training method.
After he finished reading the information, Garen left his tablet aside and stood up. His fingers were constantly messaging his abdomen area, in a special rhythmic way.
"These both sheets of ranking is a little messy. Figures from previous rankings remained on the current list." He had also heard that Medero had been constantly overlaying and training her Willpower, wanting to break through to the Full-Moon Level, and then into the Double-Moon; she wanted to pace himself with the Black Stars. In fact, she had entered Level Five for quite some years now.
Putting this useless information aside, Garen focused his attention on Fila.
Master of Half-Moon Level. It was needless to say that no matter which rankings, he would be at the front of the top ten masters.
Furthermore, looking at the surprise attack just now, that guy had rich battle experience. The use of his Willpower Field was filled with fire, even his lethality was horrifying.
Coming into this world, Garen had prepared his foundations for situations like this, but this was the first where he was in trouble.
