Under The Veil of Night

"We only know that it should be something dangerous because they always do it in secret," Jason replied.

Hearing that answer, Master Rudy\'s eyes showed a trace of surprise. From what he said, it was clear to deduct that this young man already seen them by himself. It could only mean one thing.

He enrolled in Lima School!

This caused his interest towards this small group to peak up further. However, this was not the time for that. Right now, he needed to explain to them about the experiment.

"You\'re right," Master Rudy smiled. "They\'re doing experiment related to the potential that is hidden inside every person."

The three of them stared towards Master Rudy with wide eyes. Only Tommy didn\'t understand what this old man was talking about. He noticed the other\'s reaction in confusion. What in the world was that potential?

"That should be impossible, right?" Jason\'s voice quivered. "Everyone has different potential and doing experiment towards them will only destroy what\'s inside our brain."

"Why do you think they test every newborn baby for the potential?" Master Rudy snorted. "They can only know that someone has the potential because they have researched about it beforehand."

Jason frowned. "Isn\'t it enough to just know one\'s potential?"

"Not really. There\'s something called awaken talent. Even though the process is arduous, it will make someone grow stronger even faster in their own field."

Kanae raised her head slightly. "Do you mean they\'re trying to find a different way to awaken someone\'s talent because awakening it naturally might break the person in question?"

Matt stared at the youngsters in front of him with narrowed gaze. With just simple conversation, he could clearly guess that these people were not ordinary. No ordinary people knew about the talent and awakened person. For a small group to have three people who knew about it, it was certainly rather amazing in itself.

"You\'re correct, little lass. They want to find a way to forcefully awaken someone\'s talent without any need for the arduous process. So far, the experiment is not successful, but they have been using a lot of people to do the experiment. I believe you should know the possibility that comes from failed experiment."

Kanae nodded her head. "They will become monster because their potential is dangerous or they will die because their potential is destroyed from the inside."

"Exactly," Master Rudy smiled. "The experiment is not complete. This incident is targeted for them to recruit people and test the people they used as the experiment."

"What do you mean by recruit people?" Jason interrupted.

"It\'s exactly as I say. In a matter of hours, there will be a very tempting mission in the Black Market. The danger is very great and if you can survive from the disaster, I believe that you\'ll grow stronger."

"How strong will we be?" Kanae asked.

Master Rudy stared back towards the little girl\'s iris. "Your chance of survival against my real attack will increase by at least 30%."

Having experienced by herself how deadly his strike was, Kanae knew for sure that every percent of increase would be very beneficial to them. It was easy to say that they would be able to stay alive with just some slight difference.

"I see."

"Is that true?" Jason asked full of disbelief.

Master Rudy chuckled. "Like I said before, it\'s up to you whether you want to trust me or not."

They looked towards each other in hesitation. It was easy to trust him because they truly wanted to grow stronger. But the big question was whether they should do it or not. After all, the danger should be very high.

When they want to ask him again, the old man already disappeared from his place. They were looking towards the place with wide eyes. Where did that man go?

"Master, isn\'t it impolite to just left?" Matt asked in exasperation. Right when they were not looking, his master moved to the side quickly. If not for him has been accompanying this old man for a long time, he might not be able to react in time.

Master Rudy laughed. "I just want to tease them."

Matt: "…" master…

Looking toward the sky, Master Rudy smirked. He knew that they wouldn\'t possibly pass this chance as it wouldn\'t come so often. However, at the same time, he knew that he would change the nature of that little girl very much.

The inside of the school would be no different than that of a battlefield.

Everyone would be forced to be a full fledge killer with no mercy to each other. If they showed even the slightest bit of mercy, the next second would be their funeral.

"When an excellent fighter adds the trait of determination to kill, what do you think will happen, Matt?"

Matt looked towards his master in confusion. "That person will be unparalleled."

"You\'re correct," Master Rudy smiled. She would be unparalleled. When they met again the in the future, he truly wanted to train her further again to enhance her skill that have been honed in the blood of numerous people.

Of course, the perquisite would be; she has to survive.

"Master, you\'re really in a good mood today."

"Of course, I meet with an excellent seedling today."

"Should I report it to Second Senior that master caught a deadly illness?"

"What illness? We should return back soon, Matt. I want to test my skill again, you should be a good partner for me."

Matt nearly vomited when he heard what Master Rudy said to him. He knew that this master of his loved to spar every time he had time. However, against someone like him, the discrepancy in skill was still like sky and earth. It was very easy to beat him up.

"Master, I think I want to return back. There should be more work waiting for me."

"What are you talking about? You\'re just a low level minister in the government. They barely listen to your voice, so you don\'t have much to do."

"Master, I have just risen in a higher position."

"Congratulation! To celebrate it, let\'s spar with each other."

Seeing how excited his master was, Matt knew that it would be impossible for him to escape his fate today. His master would surely beat him up during the spar again. That would be very terrible as he was pretty sure that he wouldn\'t know what had happened to him before everything end.

"Master, please hold back a bit today."

"To celebrate your rise, I won\'t hold back!"

Matt: "…" Master! Why did I pick him as my master in the first place?
