The Gene Gamer

Chapter 17: The Mission

Time passed slowly and it was the time for the mission. At the exit of the ship, sixty people was divided into two parts. Ten adults made up a part as they stood at the front and the remaining fifty were standing behind them. Although the fifty people were all children they had various kinds of auras around them.

Some were bright, some were dark, some were hot, some were cold. Needless they would grow up to become powerful people.

Cylius was standing amongst the crowd. From the four only one was suitable for a trainee. The weakest one, but the people participating in it couldn't be understimated. In this mission only people of Farold's caliber participated. In other words, talents. They all had inner genes and their gene was also stronger than the normal.

After all this wasn't the normality, well if judged by talent only Farold would have the honor as he had two genes. Even Erick wasn't qualified to participate in it. The mission had requirements and it would warn people about the danger.

No fool would participate, if there was such a fool they would've been wiped out from the start. Surviving in an orphanage was difficult people, would know their limits.

Though the people here were all talents there were differences among them. Considering power, there were five people like Farold. Farold, Cylius, Fanton, Daris, Haler. One girl and the other boys. Daris's power was biased towards the water while he didn't know what power did Haler have.

He had only met with them today in the morning, it was lucky that Daris was a showoff. Among the three were loners. Him, Fanton and Haler, he could be said to have only built up the group to fight against Farold, it was that the group was loose and couldn't be said to unite much since he now had the power to fight against Farold himself.

Garen didn't talk too much lately probably because of his inner gene and Erick and him wouldn't bother others on their own will. Fanton had the cold personality and noone bothered him. Haler was a cold woman, she was beautiful and when one of the guys tried to approach him he was sent by a stare.

The people participating in this mission had good senses so they could still differentiate people who were powerful. Farold didn't have the cold personality thus when people approached him he treated them with open arms.

Because of that he had managed to befriend lots of people but their relationship could be said to be shallow and they wouldn't offend Cylius for him. People like Garen were rare.

Based on his own instincts Daris wasn't much of a trouble, while both Fanton and Haler gave off intense danger vibes.

Skipping the hierarchy the battle was going to soon start. They would fight from the ship, first they would shoot the monsters while in the ship and once they come aboard they would fight with it. The second and the third grade monsters would be handled by the adults and they would fight within space as they can't make the powerful monsters damage the ship.

This didn't apply for the first grade monsters though. The material the hsip was made of was sturdy and the damage they could do to it was minimal. That's why they could afford to take on the monsters on solid ground. Otherwise they would have to wear some flying boots to hunt down monsters.

That would suck as they still couldn't wear battle suits and the balance they would have to have during the fight was difficult.

Slowly a bird was within their sight, it was hard to tell if it is really a bird as it was too big. When the distance shortened he could finally see what it was. It was an unusual bird, it was pure yellow in color and it had a crown on its head with a long slim tail and a fearsome aura many times more powerful than Farold's appeared.

With its slim body and its wings it more looked like a fat snake with wings. Except that its head had the figure of a bird. Eight birds were flying alongside but they were much more smaller than the big one.

The big bird was looking at the people with scorn wen it suddenly roared like some ancient beast. Birds don't roar but this thing somehow roared with a deep voice that paralyzed most of them. Cylius's inner energy was in a mess because of the roar it had gotten into a disarray as it got out of his control.

The energy was wreaking havoc within his body when a calming sound was produced from a flute that one of the adults blew. The energy just like how it had turned messy got into order as quickly too. The roar may just be an instinctual behaviour of the bird but it had already caused him to die. If the elder was a bit slower... let's say two seconds then he really would've died.

From the backs of the giant bird, came lots of little birds and this will be their opponents, first grade Yellow Snake Birds. He got out a sniper that he loaned from the ship. Loaning was possible and he had bought this sniper just for this event.

Aiming at one of the bird's head he pulled the trigger gently with his finger. Pss... a few seconds later a bird was down with a bloody hole between its eyebrows. The ship would automatically record this down so he wouldn't need to get evidence to prove himself. Since the energy awakening his other perceptions hadn't improved at all not counting the hearing.

With his bare eyes he wouldn't have been able to do this feal at all. After a few shots the birds had gotten close, after all they were fast. He got the sniper down adn prepared his handgun together with his knife. Even thought the people managed to make the numbers of the birds dwindle it was still a lot.

The ship could isolate a certain radius out of itself, thats why they weren't pulled into the space. The windows were large and made of hard translucent stone, currently they were opened and through it they were able to fire. Though they could just hide behind the window by closing it the birds will be able to break it open.

Although there were harder tranlucent stones out there that could resist the attacks of the bird, this ship was just a lowly ship made to transfer orphans they wouldn't be able to afford it.

The window was already expensive enough, so they were ordered to not close the windows. Since the windows were open the birds finally came in.
