The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1294

…

"Hey… Wait up!" Lea Osmond called as she arrives next to Xin Ja.

"I'm glad you did not fight with that guy…" she said.

"His name is Drake Carbin, and his brother is one of the D-ranks awakened that is leading the beast extermination squads. We do not know what would happen to you if you fought with that guy, so don't bother with him, okay?" she explained.

Xin Ja nodded his head as the two walked through the hallway and into the quarters.

Meanwhile, Drake Corbin finished his meal and then began looking for Xin Ja.

"Where is that Adam guy…" he asked a trainee.

The trainee shrugged his shoulder and left quickly as he did not want to be involved in such a troublesome matter.

"If I get my hands on you, then I will beat you to a pulp!" he muttered as he grumpily walks to the men's room.

As he turns to the corridor, he was suddenly assaulted by darkness as a sackcloth suddenly covered his head.

Before he could react, he suddenly feel a strong punch hitting his face which made him stagger and almost faint.

Ack!!!

"Damn it! Who dares…"

Arrgghh!!!

Pa! Bam! Bam! Thud!

A series of beating sounds echoed in the dark corridor to the men's room.

Those who are coming into the corridor stopped in their tracks and dare not look. They did not want to experience the bullying caused by those trainees that are bullies.

And even those inside the men's room dare not go out upon hearing the sound of someone getting beaten up.

A few minutes later…

The sound stopped and they can only hear a groaning sound on the floor.

Those that are inside the bathroom slowly opened the door and emerges from inside and those that are in the corridor began to peek.

They saw a figure lying on the ground with several footprints all over his body.

Almost all of them grimace at the terrible scene before them.

The guy suddenly groaned and they knew that he is still alive. Without hesitation, some of the onlookers quickly take off the sackcloth and carried the person with a pig-like face to the infirmary.

"What happened here?" asked the nurse in the infirmary as she looks at the face of Drake Carbin who seemed to have turned into that of a pig.

"We don't know… It seems that he was beaten by some bully…" one of the trainees who helped carry him said.

"Humph… This is what you people get for abusing your strength…" she scolded as she glares at the trainees and then at the man on the bed.

She has already recognized the person as one of those that likes to bully the weak.

…

Meanwhile, Xin Ja is sitting calmly on a bench while looking at the sky.

"This place seems to be the same as the other side… However, it just lacks chaotic Ki. But I could feel that little by little chaotic Ki is appearing in the atmosphere…" Xin Ja thought as he carefully feels the air in his surroundings.

This part of the Union ground has many security guards standing so, there are people staying here are all well-behaved and it made the atmosphere peaceful.

"Resting?" a voice interrupted Xin Ja as he turns towards a direction.

He saw the beautiful face of Lea Osmond and behind her stood a female trainee with a well-built body.

"Yes… This place has a tranquil atmosphere…" Xin Ja replied as he show a faint smile and then closes his eyes as if meditating.

"Did you know that Drake was beaten black and blue?" she suddenly said as she sits next to Xin Ja.

"Huh? Really?" Xin Ja opens his eyes and showed a confused expression on his face.

She tries to read his reaction but could not see through him. He really looks innocent as if he did not do anything.

But Lea's female instinct is telling her that Adam is involved in this case. And there is even a possibility that he is the one who beats up that guy.

30 minutes later…

Everyone began to enter their quarters preparing to sleep. Xin Ja waves his goodbye to the two women and also left.

"Do you think he is the one who did it?" asked the well-built woman.

"I don't know… He seems innocent and his body is a bit flimsy…" Lea replied with a shrug.

"This incident… I don't think the brother of Drake would let this go…"

"Humph… Who cares if they will or will not let this go? Those guys are all overbearing. I think it is the right time that someone would teach them a lesson…" Lea sneers.

The next day…

The news of the bully Drake Carbin being beaten has already spread throughout the union training ground. The bullies seem to have to lay low as they did not want to be the next victim.

"The atmosphere this time is a bit weird…" Guy Reynard who is standing inside the close combat training room while looking at his students muttered to his fellow teacher.

"Haha… This is because of that incident. No one wanted to be confined in the infirmary for 3 days just because they were beaten badly…" the teacher replied.

"Really? Then… then Drake Carbin will not be able to graduate successfully in this training period?"

"I guess so… This came from the higher-ups so we could not do anything to change it."

"Damn that person… Why would he do this to someone with a D-rank brother?" Guy commented.

"Well, it already happened. Anyway, the training only has a day left… Tomorrow would be their last day, right? I think we should take extra care of these babies…" the teacher said with a grin.

Then… inside the close-combat training hall, one could suddenly hear the sound of crying and shouting as the two instructors showed most of the people in there their own strength and prowess.

When the next batch enters, they saw the limping people leaving the dojo.

At this time, Xin Ja appears and behind him is Lea Osmond and the well-built woman.

When Guy Rinard saw this, he squinted and then sneered.

He did not have time to teach this guy a lesson from before, and he was humiliated. This time, he has the excuse of training to teach that guy a lesson.

After everyone came into a circle, they were called one by one by the instructors for the so-called demonstration.

At the onset, Guy quickly called Xin Ja.

"You… front and center…" he called.

Xin Ja looks around and then slowly stood up as he knew he is the one this guy is calling.

When he is in the position, he cupped his hand in greeting. But before he could lower his head fully, Guy Renard suddenly made his move.

"Lesson one! Do not lower your guard!" he shouted as he delivers a frontal kick.

But to his surprise, he saw the figure of Xin Ja standing on the side as he passes by.

His eyes are all wide open in disbelief upon seeing that smile on the young man's face.

Then before he could react, he saw the young man lifting his hand and delivering a chopping motion to his neck.

He braced himself for the pain, but then he felt that the location hit was on his shoulder.

So he did not faint but his left shoulder ached a bit.

"He looks thin and small, but he has heavy hands…" Guy Renard could not help but think.

He shrugged it off and stretches his aching shoulder while giving a complacent smile.

"You are fast… I give you that…" he said as he once again launches an attack.

He is going to tackle the brat to pin him down on the ground.

"Let see you escape this!" he said.

But then he felt something touches his back and he saw the figure of Xin Ja jumping up light as a feather.

He wanted to catch the figure by moving his arm to grab him, but he was unable to do so.

He felt a weight suddenly weighing him down pushing him to the ground.

Bam!!!

The body of Xin Ja is on his back while Guy Renard now has his face planted on the ground.

"Yeah! Go get him!" shouted the onlookers as they cheered.

They could now see that the guy named Adam Summers is actually this skilled in combat.

But Lea on the side shook her head in disappointment.

"I thought I told him to not show off… He would surely be in trouble when he would be deployed…" she thought.

As a porter, she is afraid that Adam would be deemed battle-worthy and once in a hunt would be used as cannon fodder. If this happens, then his life would surely be forfeited.

She did not know why she cared about the guy. But whenever she sees him, she would always think of her little brother who is good at fighting but was an F-rank awakened.

She lost him at a young age, and this became heavy guilt for her family.

"I wish that he would not be picked…" she muttered to herself while watching the fight.

"That young guy is not that half-bad… He is nimble and fast… I think he would be able to survive outside the city in a hunt…" she added.
