The Ancient Genes

Team Max : Max, Eren, Terry

Team Lear: Lear, Mark, Axel

Team Wilson: Wilson, Kevin, Garth, Zenith

Team August: August, Riser, Rias

The team structure was almost complete. The placement of Valko, Beli and Lisa was still being questioned.

The way they had planned the team composition was to make a well balanced team capable of fighting any Academy teams.

In the first team, Max and Eren together with Terry already were formidable. There was no doubt about it. After all, leaving Max aside, Eren was strong and probably not much weaker than lower celestials. Since the titles of Generals were not a random thing…

In the second team, Lear and Mark with Axel's backing had the capability to go toe to toe with most of the opponents.

Third team had overpowered Wilson and he had decided to take Kevin along. This was the reason that both Garth and Zenitu were put in his team to lift the fighting power of the team...

On the last team, August was there...and Riser and Rias together were capable of doing much more….

Now..three people were left among which...Lisa was probably the strongest. Even though her Tier was lower than Valco, the power she could release was much more….after all she too had first grade energy inside her. The last person was Beli, the weakest one.

Valko was definitely not going in Max's team. There was no meaning in two blacksmiths being in the same team.

Adding Beli to Lear's team wasn't a good idea as Axel was in there as well and in the same manner putting Lisa in there might not be a good idea as well. After all, Axel planned to experience love... so that he could slowly let go of the hatred….f*ck..it failed...Max just hoped it wouldn't backfire now...

So, Max put Valko in Lear's team.

Max wanted to take Lisa into his own team. But the rest didn't seem to share the same intentions. Aside from August everyone knew how strong Max was...he should be taking the weakest person with him to balance it out well.…

Taking Beli along was a good idea as well. Max still hadn't found anything about her and no matter how he tried to think, something still wasn't fitting right with her...It was better if she was in front of his eyes.

But Max wanted to keep Lisa in front of his eyes as well. If the Ancient families could be interested in Elly then Lisa was no exception…he had talked to his Master and confirmed that indeed the Ancient Families were looking for such people.

But the Zatch House was clear according to his Master as they were not conducting experiments to raise a wielder. They would just recruit these people into their family and help them train their unique powers and not conduct experiment on them.

There was a chance that Lisa would be eyed if any accident happened and she showed signs of having unique powers...

Of course, Max was confident that his Master would take his side if the situation turned like that.

But he didn't want that to happen. He had to at least keep Lisa close to him. If anything happened, he could just put her into the spirit world or use Domain to block her powers.

In the end…Max sent Terry over to August and took both Beli and Lisa into his team.

«Group Chat»

«Lear: You sure about this?»

«Lisa: I don't need you to look after me everyone now and then….I can move without you too..»

«Wilson: If it's about strength, then he probably doesn't need any one of you...what are you planning?»

«Mark: I don't know how strong you are but we will be facing a horde….you better think carefully...»

«Ruler: Don't worry, I know what I am doing. I already explained it to you guys that she has first grade energy and she still doesn't have perfect control over it...it's better for her to be in my team.»

"Why the hell are you staring at each other like that?" August asked as he looked at them Now a days, he felt like this people talked a lot behind his back and there were times that when he entered....the room plunged in silence...honestly this was starting to irritate him a bit...

"Nothing...the teams decided then...»

Team Max : Max, Eren, Beli, Lisa.

Team Lear: Lear, Mark, Axel, Valko.

Team Wilson: Wilson, Kevin, Garth, Zenith.

Team August: August, Riser, Rias, Terry.

Teams were finally decided. Now how to deal with this event...

"We can't use storage devices in competition….so everything has to be carried on the body…antidotes...should be a priority after ration I say.." Riser said as he looked at everyone.

'Storage artifact? I don't need one….' Max thought but he still had to be careful. If he took out way more than he could carry on his body then that would raise suspicions.

"We don't need to care about the Blood Eating Bats during the day….we will only face other beasts during that time...but night is going to be painful…" Lear said with a troubled look.

"Well, 7 days of sleeplessness shouldn't be a problem…." August said with a calm look.

Quite a number of people coughed on hearing that.

"How about we kill the Horde Commander? If we go together, we still stand a chance…" Wilson chimed in.

Most of the people gave him a look as if he was crazy and just ignored him.

Max thought about it but still shook his head. He was confident they could easily retreat from the Commanding beast but defeating it with these members wasn't possible...they might be able to hurt it but at what cost…

If there was Bahamut and Mr. Cool, Max was confident about killing it but they were not going to be in his team.

"Axel...you said you had thought of something.." Mark said as he looked at him.

Axel raised his head. It was clear that he wasn't paying attention but after hearing from Mark once again, he finally got up to speak.

"Blood Eating Bats are Nocturnal creatures….we will have advantage in a fight if we can find them during the day.."

"Aside from that, low level Blood Eating Bats can't fly at great altitude…..so it would be good if we secure the roof of a multistorey building or some high rise area as the base…"

"Next thing….electricity will play an important part here…we will take out the batteries from cars and shops. If electricity is present then it's good, if not, we will try to repair the generator in the city…..after that is done we will be able to charge the batteries and use it to provide a light source to restrain the bats at night…..and after we are done recharging the batteries we should destroy the generators to prevent others from using it...."

"There is no option for poison, the antidote is required...we will have to purchase it."

"This should be enough for us to deal with bats…the only problem left is the last night plan of Orca...if the commanding beast makes a move then it will be troubling…"

"It's not a problem. We just need to make Nathan forfeit before the last day…'' Wilson said with a smile, "I will take care of it..."
