Child of Destiny

…

The seniors from the elite clubs quickly sat on the ground and started meditating right after Shin and Leonard freed them. They had no time to ask more questions of the two as they fully understood their current situation. They had to regain their strength as soon as possible before the enemies broke inside their cell.

They must have enough strength for the upcoming battle if they wanted to escape from here in one piece.

At the same time, the three club presidents walked toward the duo to introduce themselves.

“Hello, juniors. I am Lester Castillo, president of Warrior College. It is nice meeting you,” said by the lean yet muscular guy as he extended his hand to the two.

Shin and Leonard accepted the handshake one after another while also giving out their simple fake names.

“Sid, a cadet.”

“Levi, also a cadet.”

Then the young woman walked forward and gave the two a meaningful look before smiling and extending her hand. “Julieta Miles, president of the Student Assistant Association. It is nice to meet you and thank you for saving us.”

Shin felt a little uncomfortable by her gaze as he felt that she seemed to be able to see through their lies. He smiled while accepting the handshake. “Thank us once we are finally able to get out of here alive.”

Leonard was also feeling the same, so he just shook her hand while nodding his head.

After her, the tall and bulky guy finally walked forward and introduced himself. “Tir Velkason, Marial and Mentalism Union.”

He did not even approach the two as he only said that from a distance. It seemed like he was the type of person who was very cold to others.

Noticing that this would lead to an awkward situation, Lester quickly jumped in and said. “Don’t mind him. He is just not used to seeing other people, much less being saved by them.”

“You should mind your own business, Lester. We are still not done with what you have done,” said Tir in a cold tone.

“Yeah, yeah! I know. But we don’t have a choice, do we? If I did not use that explosive device and inject it at everyone, then we will be an experimental subject by those guys without a doubt,” said Lester with a smile.

“You must admit that the devices that the Researcher Union has given us are pretty useful,” he added with a smug look on his face.

Hearing that, Shin finally understood the situation. It seemed like before everyone got captured, this senior from the Warrior College was able to use a certain device on all the seniors, which prevented the worst-case scenario. .𝒄𝒐𝒎

“Alright, guys. Calm down a little. We can’t afford to fight among ourselves if we want to escape from here,” said Julieta before turning to Shin with a smile. “How about this junior explain the situation to us?”

“Let’s start with how you are able to enter and how can you override the commands from that door?” she added with a curious look on her face.

Shin thought for a moment before quickly explaining everything to them. He also added the information that he had gathered by listening to the guards earlier.

After a few moments, the seniors finally got a rough idea of the general situation.

“I see, so the military is dispatching their forces to raid this base. What they needed right now is the exact location,” muttered Lester while digesting more information.

“You also said that the Magic Ace Academy is also sending reinforcements?” asked Julieta.

Shin nodded and answered briefly. “We are not sure of that side exactly. But from what our superiors have said, it seems like they are sending a force led by the other elite clubs.”

“Tsk! Looks like we are going to be in debt once again,” muttered Lester as he clicked his tongue.

Then Julieta suddenly asked another question. “And you said that an expert from the military is currently fighting outside, and these rumblings and trembling of the place are because of the shockwaves of the collision?”

Shin and Leonard nodded their heads, confirming what she just said.

After that, the three club presidents turned silent as they fell into deep thought. They were re-evaluating the plan that Shin had provided them before turning back to him.

“I agree with this junior. We have to take advantage of the chaos to escape,” said Julieta, agreeing with the plan that Shin had given them.

“We have to move fast if we want it to succeed,” added Lester.

“But we can’t just focus solely on that thing,” commented Tir before quickly adding. “We also have to find the location where they are hiding our weapons and retrieve them.”

“We also have to find their command room if we want the outside to know our exact location,” said Lester.

“Let’s divide our forces,” Julieta suggested. She knew that this would be dangerous for them, but they did not have much choice. At worst, they could just threaten the opposing side with the explosive device that they had hidden inside their bodies.

“Three forces,” she added while pointing at the two. “Tir and the Martial and Mentalism Union will create more chaos and confusion while Lester and the rest of the Warrior College will look for our weapons.”

“As for myself and my club, we are going to look for the command room and find a way to send a signal on the outside.”

She then paused and looked at Shin and Leonard before adding. “We will be bringing these two juniors with us. After all, they have a way to override their commands and can bypass a lot of security measures.”

Hearing that, Shin thought for a moment before being injected. “It is mostly because of the ID that I’ve got from them. But we can’t be sure that it will still work later since they have already known about our cover.”

“But I can manually infiltrate their system, though it will take some time,” he added.

“That is more than enough,” said Lester before quickly adding. “The problem is how are we going to open the room where our weapons are located? It will be hard to destroy them given the materials that the doors and walls have.”

Shin thought briefly before saying. “There is a guy named Shaun outside. He seemed to have pretty high authority within this base. If we manage to steal his ID, we can use it to bypass a lot of security measures.”

“He must be outside of this cell and waiting for us,” he added.

Then he suddenly paused as he noticed the sudden change in atmosphere. And when he raised his head and looked at the three club presidents, he noticed that all of them were wearing cold looks on their faces while also emitting an immense intent to kill.

“That traitor,” muttered Julieta coldly.

Shin could tell that there must be more in this story than he had thought. But he did not ask anything about it since it was not the time for gossip.

“What do you think, Seniors?” asked Shin with a careful tone while waiting for their response.

It was at this moment when the three club presidents snapped out of their thoughts and nodded.

Lester then added. “I know that all of us want to teach that guy a lesson, but you can leave him to me. I need his ID for my task, so I am more fit for this job.”

Julieta and Tir had unwilling look on their faces but still nodded their heads.

Then Shin suddenly turned to Leonard and added. “If that is the case, then I am more than enough for the third group. Senior Lester can bring Levi with him while looking for our weapons.”

“I can sense the major location of our weapons. My weapons are in Blood Contract with me, so they are bound to me,” added Leonard, supporting what Shin had said.

The three seniors looked at them with surprised expressions, especially Lester and Tir, who were from the Combat Department.

Forming a Blood Contract with a weapon required a lot of prerequisites and all of them were not simple. Even the two of them, who were seniors from their department, could not form a Blood Contract with their respective weapons, yet this junior from the military force did?

They must admit that these two juniors were not simple. They now understood why the military entrusted the job to this duo despite their younger age.

“Another thing, seniors. What are we going to do if we encounter Butcher and Coffin Maker during our operation?” asked Shin in a careful tone.

The biggest problem that they currently had were not all the things that they had previously addressed. Instead, it was the existence of those two Domain Realm Experts that could take all of them down with ease.

Lester thought for a moment before saying. “Don’t you have said that the Dragon King is currently fighting outside, right? Then I can guarantee that Butcher will not be here.”

“Even though there is another expert holding the Dragon King down, the organization can not afford to let their guard down, especially when they are facing an expert on that level. They have to at least leave someone outside, who can delay him from assaulting this place if they don’t want this entire base to be flatted.”

“Butcher is most likely to be put on that task. That leaves the Coffin Maker alone. But even if he is an expert in the Domain Realm, he is not suited for frontal confrontation, so we can still buy enough time for the others to do their respective task.”

“Moreover, he is only alone, so we can’t catch all of us, especially when we have divided our forces,” he added.

At the same time, Tir suddenly injected confidently. “As for the experts that are in Void Manifestation Realm, you juniors don’t have to worry about them. The three of us will not be club president without a good reason.”

“Dealing with ordinary experts will not be a problem to us,” he added as an intense fighting intent was being emitted from his body.

Julieta did not say anything but the confident look on her face clearly indicated that she agreed with what the bulky guy had said.

…

With all of that, the group was finally able to divide all the tasks equally and started preparing.

They only had a single chance here, so they had to act fast to guarantee their success and be able to escape this place.

If no accidents happened, then their chances of succeeding in this were pretty high. As long as Shin and the others sent a signal to the outside, then the military forces would immediately flood in and rescue them.

All they had to do was to make sure that everything was well and according to plan.
