Chapter 365: Battle

*fiuh*

*pant* *pant*

James didn’t hesitate and took out a mana potion for himself. His spiritual control magic was really strong because the sword could be controlled easily. But at the same time, he was wasting so much mana that he felt like dying now.

"Dean, get their space storage scroll," Evan gave the order.

"Yes."

Dean rushed over to their bodies to pick up the space storage scrolls.

Seeing their action, James arched his eyebrows and then said, "I thought you would have some reactions when killing people for the first time."

"First time?" Evan repeated with a strange expression. "Doesn’t your family teach you to kill prisoners when you’re young?"

The big families would not let their children have any weakness in the battle. Even though their main battles would only let them fight against magic beasts, but there might be times when there was war against other cities.

So when the children were still in school, they would be called once to kill a prisoner specifically prepared by their family members.

The White Family was like that.

"Uh..." James’s words stuck in his throat. "My family is not a big family and I don’t seem to experience it. Are you sure that it’s not only your family...?"

"The Black Family is the same," Leon said after finally killing the other party. He felt that his mana was exhausted because he used so much dark elemental magic. But he didn’t have much thoughts because he had also been asked to kill a prisoner in the past by his father.

In his father’s words: even if he’s a useless son who will not qualify to be the next patriarch, he is not allowed to have any weakness to be exploited by his opponent.

"Maybe the Green Family...?"

"I may not be ordered to kill people, but the Green Family has been working in the hospital for a long time and we’re used to seeing dead people," Yun said quietly.

They were not asked to kill people.

After all, most of the Green Family members were not exactly combat magicians. They were leaning towards support.

But since they were the support, they also needed experience.

And this experience could only be gained through real situations.

For children who hadn’t grown up yet, the safest method for them to grow was through letting them treat the injured in the hospital. And during the time when they were in the hospital, it was impossible for them not to know about it.

The Green Family had to prepare them for the situation that they might face when they failed to save their comrades.

So they had to work hard!

If they didn’t want to lose their friend, they had to make sure that they were strong enough to save their friends and bring them back from the brink of death.

Dean quickly regrouped with the others.

"Dean, do the Red Family members have to kill people early?" James asked.

Dean looked at James in confusion as he nodded. "Yeah? I mean, we are basically the tanks in a team, so if we can’t bear to kill others, we’ll be useless. My family took me to hunt a few bandits when I was young."

While it was not exactly a pleasant experience for Dean, he didn’t have much pressure if he had to kill someone.

The city’s situation was not very good.

There are conflicts and there are also wars.

No one was naive enough to think that the war was over and they could live without killing other people. Because of this, the children from the big families were taught one by one when they were 10 years old to learn how to kill others.

Because they would have to face it in the future.

If they were caught unprepared because their heart was too soft, they would only end up dying.

So their family could only prepare them with this.

James: "..."

So why does his family not do anything like this?

At this moment, James fell into self doubt.

He felt that his family might not think that this was necessary, so they didn’t arrange for the children to experience killing first before they grew up.

"Anyway, let’s go for now."

"Yes!"

There was no time for James to have his self reflection anymore. They have to go if they don’t want to be chased by other teams who might be nearby.

Swish!

With that, the nine of them started running again. They picked a relatively quiet hill to rest and let Vance check the surroundings. Only when there was no one around them did they sit down and meditate to recover their mana.

Before this, they all didn’t hesitate to use the mana potion.

Anyway, they have a lot of money and there was no heartache even if they were to use up several bottles of mana potion in one go. When they entered the secret realm, they naturally brought a lot of potion to prepare in case they needed it.

But if there was a chance, they would rather meditate than use the mana potion.

After all, this was related to their own recovery ability.

’Hmm.’

A few minutes after they started meditating, Aya looked in one direction, her expression turned a bit strange. Even if they were unlucky enough to encounter the two teams who were fighting not long ago, was their luck so bad that they would encounter another trouble so soon?

At this moment, Aya even felt that someone was messing around with them.

But as she felt it carefully, she looked at the valley in front of them.

The ghost aura was really strong in this place, but Aya was not entirely sure where the ghost aura was most concentrated. After all, there were a lot of interference and these ghosts might not stay in one place.

And now...

"Get up, there’s a ghost!" Aya yelled and stood up as she looked at the ghost in front of her. Her expression turned solemn because she could see that this is a rank 1 ghost.
