BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Nathaniel was currently in the middle of the forest with his team members. Of course, it didn't take much time for the young man to get the leader's role, but contrary to Erik, he didn't do so by earning their respect. He did it by force, brutally beating one of his team members when she dared to talk back to him.

The others tried to stop him but were unable to since Nathaniel was too strong for them to be able to do anything. The other three glared at their teammate, trying not to look directly into his eyes. They knew what would happen if they looked straight ahead, which wouldn't be pretty.

"So?" He asked after a while. "Are you going to look at me like dumb fish? Are we just wasting our time here?" His voice had taken on an edge that hadn't been there before, making everyone flinch slightly. It wasn't anger or hatred behind those words; this was something else entirely. Disdain. Disdain, For those he believed under him. From there, the group followed his orders without question, even going as far as to rush into the fray without thinking twice. They were more scared of him than the thaids, and that was how Nathaniel wanted things to be.

At Thornton high school, he was a god, the school's leader, the imperator. Here things had to remain the same, as he was born to rule.

Another thing that differentiated the young man from all the others was how easily he came to terms with the killing act. He and his group were lucky enough to chance upon a rather large group of Lomalins. It had more or less a thousand individuals. Of course, Nathaniel didn't waste a second, and without even thinking twice, before going amidst the group of monsters, he started massacring them.

Two were the effects he generated: The first one was that he terrified his team members as they saw the power he wielded. The second was that the Lomalins died like flies.

Nathaniel was fast, strong, and with an insanely mighty power. He massacred the beasts without an ounce of remorse nor a second of hesitation. Blood, legs, brain matter, and gore were everywhere, bodies strewn across the ground like flowers blooming from the earth, some still twitching and moving. A few thaids managed to flee a couple of meters away, only to fall victim to his trident a few seconds later. The young man was so cruel as not to leave even a single one of them alive.

There was no mercy shown to any of them, none whatsoever. That was Nathaniel's philosophy, one his father made sure to impart to him. If someone was going to go against him, why should he care about his enemy's life?

When his teammates remained there, watching him butcher the Lomalin population, they had goosebumps and almost felt pity for the thaids. However, the fact that the four remained there, watching him kill the monsters, greatly irked Nathaniel.

"If you do not start killing these beasts, I will feed you to them," the ruthless young man said. This prompted the students to join the hunt, making the group gain points quickly.

They slaughtered everything within sight, including young Lomalins. When they finally killed the last one, Nathaniel had a smirk on his face. He turned to look at his teammates and then said, "We are going to go further inside the forest. Do not lag behind." He showed a small but psychotic smile to the others, who could only nod in fear.

As he and the others traveled in search of more thaids, he stopped to check his phone, prompting them to do the same.

Nathaniel went on the Red Palace app to see the ranking. He was immediately displeased to find out that his team was only second. However, once he realized who the first one was, he burst out laughing like a maniac.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!"

One of his team members, curious about what the young man was talking about, gathered the courage and asked him, "Wh-what is the m-matter...?"

Nathaniel turned to look at the young man with a mad look that could give goosebumps to anyone else. He looked at the student until he broke the silence, "Erik Romano's group is FIRST! FIRST! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! I'M BEHIND THE PLANT HUGGER!"

The other four were not students from Thornton high school, so they knew nothing about Erik; however, they quickly realized Nathaniel didn't particularly like him.

It took several minutes for the tension to subside. Finally, the young man spoke again, trying his best to sound calm despite the fear bubbling up inside him, "If t-that is how t-things are, we should hu-hurry up and kill m-m-more thaids..."

"Yes, yes, of course. We shouldn't waste time! HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT THINK ABOUT IT?!" he said while punching the student in the face making him fall to the ground. He then looked at the rest of his team members and said, "Any brilliant idea any of you prick has to share? If you do, my door is always open!" sporting a mad grin on his face. He then resumed hunting, sprinting inside the forest at a mad speed.

After a while, he arrived in front of a huge tree where he saw two thaids fighting each other. They were both larger than the ones he had seen previously.

As he watched them fight, he noticed how both of them were injured and, for this reason, decided to kill them both and earn points.

The others quickly arrived at him and were left flabbergasted when they saw the two thaids fight. They were both massive, one resembling a sort of ape, with bulging muscles under a thick coat of fur and snakes of electricity coiling around its arm.

The other creature was instead feline-like, with two horrendously long tusks jutting out of its mouth and a nasty fire coming out of its throat.

"This looks like big game..." Nathaniel said, leaving the others horrified by the fact he had the mere thought of battling these beasts. However, the four refrained from saying anything; if Nathaniel was so eager to kill himself, so be it. Even better, if he died, the world would be a better place.

Nathaniel decided the best thing to do would be to end the ape-like beast first, since it was the most injured one, and then battle against the feline one.

To do so, he planned to use his trident. He didn't want to do anything fancy, especially considering he was aware he wasn't that skilled with it yet.

However, he could use it to impale the beast. He grabbed the weapon with a murderous glint in his eyes and started dashing toward the monsters while making a murderous laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA" Truth was that Nathaniel was a little bit like Erik. He also felt bloodlust whenever he was in a fight, and it wasn't easy to restrain this feeling. He managed to do so against humans, but here, he could let it flow freely and without any obstruction.

Nathaniel's laugh caused the thaids to stop their battle and turn towards him. With lightning-fast reflexes, the young man ran toward the two bests before jumping on top of the ape and impaling his trident into its neck from the back. The weapon came in from the nape and went out from the throat; it was gruesome.

A few seconds later, Nathaniel jumped back and somersaulted in the air to avoid one of the feline's attacks, which landed on the still gasping-for-air ape's head and quickly died a couple of seconds later, leaving the young human and the fire kitty cat staring at each other with murderous glints.
