Chapter 595: The Top One

Since Tartarus has been established many businessmen and even politicians wanted to send someone to train in the camp and become a professional bodyguard. 

That's right, Tartarus wasn't established to train assassins but bodyguards. They have been training elite bodyguards from all over the world. These people were invited by politicians and other influential people to train then become their bodyguards. Of course, they are paying Lyca Shen and her company millions just to get an invite for the camp. In return, each of them would be trained as assassins and would be provided gears to guard those executives.

Since Tartarus has started, the people who always top the examinations were usually the people who already served the military. Most of them were from the special forces while some were being trained as bodyguards to guard royal family. These people were already experienced when it comes to martial arts and gun handling. They were really good marksman and usually pretty good in military tactics too.

However, this time is different. 

The one who topped the exam was actually an orphan who didn't have any special background.

Looking at the video, Ma Ping couldn't helped but frown. The woman named Leona or Leo wasn't a good shot. In fact, she was considered a terrible shot, since the target was moving. However, the fact that she grasp the situation without being given any special instructions was not something that people from special forces would do.

This was because, this people were so used to being instructed. If a superior tell them to jump left, the would surely jumped left without asking question. So, when the examiner told them the instructions earlier, most of these people would directly start killing the terrorists thinking that it was about the time. Not many people would realized that it wasn't about the timer at all.

Ma Ping squinted when he started looking at the third video. The third exam was all about surviving martial arts. However, they didn't remove the guns with some fake bullets. This test was done to measure the will of the person to survive. Ma Ping then got up from his seat and walked towards the next room where Gabi was sitting quietly. 

"At ease " Ma Ping said when Gabi got up. "Take a sit. I just wanted to asked you questions." The woman in front of him looked delicate. She looked thin and frail, her hair was pink, her skin looked pale. It was as if she spent all her time inside the house. What was special about her was the fact that she had two alert and sparkling eyes.

"The third test." Ma Ping started. "It was supposed to test your martial arts skills. Why did you shoot the martial artist?"

In response, Gabi pursed her lips. Why? Isn't that obvious? "The task wasn't to fight. The task was to survive for a few minutes. They didn't say that we can't shoot the enemy. All he said was to survive. And I did."

Ma Ping didn't know if he would laugh when he heard her answer. Actually, she was right. The test was to survive. They instructions were quite vague and it was done on purpose. Usually, special forces members and other members would always take this opportunity to fight against the martial artist. They would show case their strength and try to defeat the enemy.

Many of them wouldn't even look at the guns and would directly attack the enemy. Some of them would stare and the guns and think it was a mistake before attacking their enemies. 

But Gabi was actually the only one who shoot the martial artist in the leg. Seeing that she ran towards the guns, the martial artists also moved, making her missed the shot! Instead of landing a clean hit, she only hit the skin of the enemy. Still, the pain caused the man to fell on the floor. Her action was really surprising. However, isn't this the type of people that Madam want?

Lyca Shen, his great idol would never fight an enemy head on.

"So you shoot him."

"Yes sir. I thought the point of using a gun is for you to hit your enemy from afar."

"Good point."

"Did I break a rule?" Gabi asked.

"No. I'm just curious." Ma Ping asked. "You are the top one of the examinations. You excelled in military tactics and scored ninety seven percent. This would be announced once you start the training. Since everything is going to be point system, you will receive ten points more. Because of this many people would probably challenge you. Once they defeat you, they could earn a few of your points."

Surprise laced Gabi's gaze. A point system? Meaning, being top one is a disadvantage to her. Many people would be eying her the moment the training started. She let out a cursed inwardly. 

"As the current top you will be given a good accommodation. No need to join a dorm, you will have your own room with it's own bathroom. This is another reason why most of them would want to target the first spot."

Gabi nodded.

"I am telling you this because it's something that the top one had earned. Information."

Again, she nodded. 

"By the end of the week the points will be tallied again and depending on the result, the top trainee would once again be given the chance to pick a room and bathroom. Rules Only the top one is allowed to communicate outside. He or she will be given an hour to write a letter that will be sent outside. Now do you have any questions?" Ma Ping handed her a piece of paper. "I am giving you the schedule of training in advance. Training will start at four in the morning until seven. Then everyone will have breakfast. Then another set of training until lunch time. Followed by another set of training. You will be trained how to handle poisons, basic hacking, deadly martial arts, the art of needles and using other inconvenient weapons against your enemies."

Ma Ping then smiled at her. "Now do you have any questions?"

Gabi shook her head. Seeing this, Ma Ping added, "Well I wish you all the luck in the world. Here is your new access card. Keep it with you all the time. You won't be able to enter your room without it. Also fighting inside is allowed." With that, he dismissed Gabi. 

"Sir "

The deputy of the training facility approached him. "What?"

"I was curious. You don't normally talk to the top participant like this so"

"I just want to see her in person."

The deputy nodded.

Ma Ping clicked his tongue before he also left the room. At first, he actually thought that Gabi was someone that the madam picked up somewhere. However, now that he finally saw her, he knew he was wrong. No, Gabi's skin was too clean and white for her to grow up in the streets.

There is no way that she was someone from the streets!

So, he tried to test her. 

However, her attitude seemed confusing. It was clear that she wasn't a killer. Yet the vibe that she gave him was totally different. She felt like a knife a dull one. But, a dull knife could still kill someone after you sharpened it. And Ma Ping was already excited to transform this dull, inexperienced knife!

He couldn't wait to see how the Madam would react once she saw the child that she recommended!

Meanwhile, not everyone was happy that Gabi topped the entrance exam. 

The second placer, Alfredo Lane had a dark look on his face as he listened to the words from the woman who stood next to him.

"Fred I thought that they would call the first placer after the exam. However it has been a few hours."

"I know," he hissed. By now, he wasn't aware that he wasn't the top of the class. He was actually expecting to be welcomed by the head trainer after he took the exam. But none of these happened!

It immediately ruined the excitement inside him.

The three people who were talking to each other were interrupted when a man wearing a black uniform with the logo of tartarus approached them. Seeing this, Alfredo's expression brightened. Was he here for him?

However, the man's next words shatter the excitement that he felt.

"Please follow me to your dorms."

'Dorms?" The other woman asked. "What do you mean?"

The man gave the woman a blank look. "If you don't want to follow me then you can stay here."

"You "

The man ignored her as he marched towards the door of the room.

"Hey!"

"Mara stop it. We should just follow him." The second woman said as she quickly followed the man. However, before they could reach the door, the woman already asked. "Sir, excuse me. I have a question."

"Speak!" the man ordered.

"Well we were informed that the top student could chose a room and even bring people inside his or her room. So we why you are going to lead us to the dormitories? Did you perhaps got the wrong person? Sir, you see this man is Mr. Lane Alfredo Lane."

However, the man didn't react. He just gave her a blank look as he asked. "And so?"

....

Again, I am having problems with my signal. But I am really happy! I was able to release 30 days straight! Yey! Thank you so much guys. I will update this tomorrow.
