Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Norovïth. (Part 2)

The imaginary countdown reaches its culmination, incinerating the Folder that Khallyon was reading.

However, the Rogue Cadet focused on the most primordial capabilities of each individual of both Exploration Groups, disregarding everything that he doesn’t understand, as he hadn’t the time to cloud his thoughts with unnecessary information.

"I see you are done with your task, Cadet COCK-69"; Comments Urrein Rwöllmör towards Khallyon "Pay close attention to the process for the Integrity Scanner, as it is similar to the Vitality Scanner, except that you don’t touch the finger prints, if not the nails".

Seeing the gestures that Instructor Urrein shows, the Rogue Cadet replicates both Scanners, Vitality and Integrity, observing two different Halos around every member in the Exploration Groups.

"Do you want to explain the situation again, Cadet CUIT-83?"; Asks Urrein to Try’Phiel, who is willing and ready to perform.

"As you demand Instructor Urrein, the Halos around us are Blue Cyan for unbeatable opponents, Light Green from 100% to 86%, Green from 85% to 46%, Dark Green from 45% to 6%, and 5% to 0% is Blue Indigo".

{Everyone’s Halos are Light Green with Bright Yellow, I suppose this means they are in optimal state, and this is the way I can be aware of when to swap someone from its current role slash position...}

The next explanation from Urrein is regarding the Scanner for the Node Storage Capacity, having a similar arrangement, to the Vitality Scanner, except for the tonalities ranging from Silver, White, Light Grey, Graphite Grey, Dark Grey and Black.

Lastly the Perennence Scanner, which is the most simple to understand, having just three colours, Pink, Red and Wine; However, the specifications are slightly distinct to the other Scanners; Any number above 100 Perennence is Wine, while any number equal or below 99 Perennence is Pink, being Red the tonality for those who don’t have any Perennence left in their bodies.

Instructor Londra rises her voice after the explanations made by Urrein "Cadets, our stay here in Norovïth will last approximately 3 days, not counting our journey back to Eldyron City".

{How kind Carildia and Darcia are, giving us a little more than a day to rest after we return to the Academy... , *Sigh*, I suppose the normal lectures will start from the next week, If we really reach the Next week...}

"Cadet COCK-69, From this moment, until I, and only I, say otherwise, You are the one in charge of this Two Exploration Groups".

{*Sigh*, No clues, no encouraging phrases, and all the responsibility, *Sigh*, Let’s focus on what it is necessary, and from there, I break down the rest...}

Standing in front of both Exploration Groups, the Rogue Cadet can observes the different reactions from everyone.

The Instructors are perplexed, having their doubts about the approach chosen by the Headmistresses, only Londra and Urrein are unaffected by such scandalous decision, the former remaining stern and strict while the latter has a nonchalant attitude mixed with contempt.

The Old Ones are displeased by having a Contemporary Person being the Leader, while the Rogue Cadet’s peers are not entirely against him, at least most of them show no animosity, being only Naylyn and Yi’Onnaisse the two Ladies that truly support the idea of Khallyon Commanding both Exploration Groups.

(Should I use [Colossus]?, Or that would look bad?, *Sigh*, No, I am thinking this wrongly, I must do this the way I know, and having a hidden card to play is always beneficial...}

"My name is Khallyon Cravemeneer, and my designation as Cadet is COCK-69, I am not a Leader, I am a Tyrant, and as such, I do not tolerate mediocrity or insubordination, challenge me if you believe that you can do a better job than me, but if you are unable to defeat me... , How would you protect everyone else?".

The rhetorical question remains floating in the minds of those present, some of them thinking that they should act, which includes two Instructors of the second Exploration Group.

Nevertheless, they prefer to wait for a better opportunity, which evidently does not go unnoticed by Khallyon.

"For those of you who don’t know why are we here, The answer is simple, a Ten For Teammate situation in the Imperishable Monoliths that are in Tiaone".

Several confused faces are observed by the Rogue Cadet, realizing that not many knew about the context of the trip.

"A person who doesn’t have a complete Team, in which every integrant has in their Inventories a minimum of Ten Random Shards rightfully acquired... , The people that don’t fulfill the mentioned requirements, are forbidden to make use of the Structures within a certain area, that means, exchanging your Shards, and activate the Crusades to empower yourselves, are unavailable options".

Confusion appears in the faces of some Cadets, but all the Old Ones, including Urrein are totally clueless, being The latter who questions the Rogue Cadet on behalf of everyone else "Crusades?, I have never heard of them, Care to explain what are they?, Oh Mighty Tyrant".

Khallyon stoic detached expression remains unaltered by the snarky comment, addressing the question immediately.

"CRUSADES serve to gain more of what we already possess, and exist to enhance our understanding of ourselves, This is because of how they are divided, Crusades of IGNUS, Crusades of Blessings and Crusades of WORK, all together, is what defines us".

"Do you think our lives are shaped by the Crusades?"; Questions menacingly Instructor Medraniss, who is not prone to follow the Imperishable Entities whims.

"They are not shaping us, Instructor Medraniss, just allowing us to understand what we have always been, That is why I said the Three Crusades, because your WORK or Blessings can interfere with your IGNUS, but the reality is that it is connected, you just have to find out the appropriate approach, and CRUSADES makes that task way easier for everyone, The difference lies in whether you want to accept it, or you prefer to keep complaining in your own insecurity".

The Rogue Cadet’s answer sinks into everyone’s minds, which is a real eye opener for Krullzure, as the Busty Lady tungstens her resolution, rising her hand even when she is trembling with fear "W-What are the IGNUS?".

{They don’t know?!...}
