The Place Where Everything Begins

Kahn's mind suddenly became conflicted...

All of his bad luck had started three days ago; it was the time when Kahn thought about the consequences of failing sir Yuriy's expectations. Such thought had driven him to the brink of insanity as he felt like he was not himself anymore.

Three days ago was also when Kahn had his first blood by killing three people in one keen strike.

At the time, it was purely accidental as he had put in too much force behind the swing.

Never in his wildest dreams could he have known that the Earthlings would be so weak as to die with that half-ass strike from him.

With just one swing of his sword, three lives were lost...

Everything had utterly changed after that; Kahn almost became addicted to power...

He felt like he owned this world...

He felt like these people's lives were in his grasps as he could do whatever he wanted to them.

Nonetheless, Kahn couldn't be too complacent of his newfound power and authority for long because a harsh truth came hitting him hard not long after that...

A greater existence was toppling over him and watching his every movement from a faraway place. Despite the fact that the being was just one of the ten thousand beings, who designed the tutorial zones, he was still an unquestionable existence that even the deans of the academy's faculties had to treat him with much respect.

The said being had even told him personally before sending him over here to supervise the human camp,

'You are the best in your academy? Hmph! Then win, and I will grant you a big reward, or else you and your loved ones will die...'

Those were the words from the unreachable existence, the cupid named Yuriy...

Kahn finally realized that despite having control over these people's lives, his own life was not in his own hands in the least. It was all up to the cupid, Yuriy's whim the moment he came into this place...

Consequently, Kahn felt frustrated and depressed at his own fate. He shouldn't have accepted the generous offer back then; it was such a huge mistake in his life.

His bad luck hadn't ended there because people within the camp didn't quite listen to him. After all, Kahn had accidentally killed three people. That's why they might have thought that he was an arrogant bastard, or worse, a maniac.

Furthermore, he couldn't tell anyone that he was an Ortus' native because he had already interfered too much with the Tutorial by participating directly, so the System had imposed a rule to restrict him from telling people about Ortus-related stuff.

Such a rule was also imposed on the other organizer in the kenku camp.

After the incident of killing the three people initially, Kahn had tried to change his approach into a softer one, but many people still opposed him, so he had to kill some more to retain his authority.

Even though Kahn killed people like a maniac, those kills were thought out with significant consideration. He killed because it was necessary to maintain his power within the camp...

Ever since the moment Kahn had realized his life was on the line, the only desire within his mind was to win... he needed to lead the human camp to win this shit at all cost, or else everything he had, including his own life, would be lost forever.

With everyone's attention on him right now, Kahn smiled bitterly before saying,

"It is indeed a misunderstanding, Tommy...

Kahn paused briefly before continuing,

"Welcome to the human camp; I hope we can get along well and also hope that you can be of great help to win against the kenkus."

'Why did I even suspect him in the first place? The traits received from the System never lie... Also, from the looks of the skills in his Status Window, the man is clearly a newbie arriving here from the first stage, just like any other.'

Shaking his head at his own paranoia, Kahn turned back into the working room, leaving other people and two sentences behind,

"You did well in the scouting mission; you guys may leave to take a rest. Morgan, I will leave Tommy within your care."

Having said those words, Kahn walked into his door-less working room, leaving others to look on in wonder and confusion.

Nobody had thought the problem would end just like that. Likely, Jeremy also believed that the issue had ended too easily and anticlimactically...

To be honest, Jeremy had even prepared another trump card to play out if another fallout happened between them.

Still, something good like this was always welcomed anyway...

'Well, it works out very smoothly, huh... Also, it's a relief that the watchful eyes had left me the moment I projected my Status Window, as it looks like he must have lost interest in me. It is really worth it with what I've invested into my great acting earlier. Like this, my initial plan is considered as good as complete...'

Jeremy thought with a hidden glint within his eyes.

It wasn't exaggerated at all to say that Jeremy had invested so much in the brief confrontation earlier.

Jeremy had gone as far as to deactivate his mana field projection and let Kahn kick him on the chest directly, sending him crashing against furniture within the house.

Even though it didn't hurt one bit, Jeremy still felt like he had invested so much in this performing.

The final outcome was also proven worth it as Jeremy could now blend in with the people within the human camp, freed from the watchful eyes of the designers and organizers of this Tutorial.

Jeremy finally gained a high ground with enough breathing room to maneuver and execute his plans because no one was observing him anymore.

"Let's go, everyone..." said Morgan as he led everyone outside the wooden house.

After arriving outside, Morgan said to the two people, whom was holding a big sack behind their backs,

"You two bring the fish, fowl, and game back to the canteen. Everyone else can go to do their own things. You see tomorrow, brothers and sisters."

After hearing so, Everyone started dispersing as most of them wanted to take a long shower, eat some good foods, and rest in their own tents.

A long day of the scout team led by Morgan had finally come to an end....
