Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam instructed his teammates to sit inside, while he walked out to see the situation.

What he saw wasnʼt that much different from his expectations, the Myriad mirage chameleons are a type of beasts with a great sense of comradery. Seeing, that one of them is dead, the remaining of them would surely take out their anger on the killer.

Since, he destroyed the odour on him which is the only way for them to find the killer, they will take the anger out on the common enemy, the candidates.

The candidates are all in chaos. Some people are unconscious, some of them are injured, some of them are arguing on what the hell is happening.

There are only a few people who are still a bit calm and they are the ones who assumed the leadership positions of their respective teams.

Suddenly, the third son of Marquis made a move, a large blue coloured fire ball was shot from his hands and it flew towards a young man who is walking stiffly.

Before the people could react, the ʼyoung manʼ was hit by the fire ball, but as soon as he landed on the ground, he disappeared.

This is the scenario, Sam wanted to avoid, if they became invisible, it is really hard to find them and if they really want to kill it while it is still invisible, the only way is to use an attack with high damage as well as a large area of effect.

It is not a good idea to use those type of skill when they donʼt have a guaranteed supply of spiritual energy to restore their strength.

But Marquisʼ son, doesnʼt have much choice, so after performing a series of hand seals, a large wave of blue flame engulfed the area where the ʼyoung manʼ disappeared. And in a few seconds, they could hear growls from the flames and within a minute after the flames disappeared there was a fully burnt scaly figure, in between a large patch of a burnt area.

Marquisʼ son, became visibly weak. Even though, his attack was powerful, it took an equally large toll on his spiritual energy.

His two brothers Zeke and Luther, immediately moved forward. One of them stood near their third brother, and the other one went to check the corpse. After ransacking the corpse for a few minutes, they finally found the token and three of them immediately went back to their camp.

Even if they had some differences and grudges among them, the three brothers are quite united for now in front of outsiders.

As soon as the spectators saw that the token was in the three brothersʼ hands, some people from the marquis city who has a closer relationship, mostly noble offspring, joined them.

Looking at this scene, the remaining candidates erupted in frenzy. Everyone is looked at one another in suspicion, thinking if the other party was the beast. But their suspicions got lost in a few seconds as a few ʼyoung menʼ started running towards the three brothers to attack them.

The candidates immediately understood, by the weird bodily movements of the ʼyoung menʼ and soon the battles started.

Only at this moment, Sam started walking. He went back to the place, he grappled with the chameleon and took back the corpse with him.

Even though, the meat isnʼt edible, Sam has some other uses for this corpse.

Since, they have scarcity of spiritual energy, they need to find a way which uses less spiritual energy for attacking. And a myriad mirage chameleonʼs body has a lot of this which might come useful in future and one of them is its scaly tail.

The tail is one of lethal weapons a myriad mirage chameleon uses to attack people. The tail acts just like a normal python.

It wounds the tail around the abdomen and chest of the victim and the muscles of the tail will tighten at the same the scales will start to pierce through the skin. The tail bone of this beasts is one of the hardest parts belonging to the level 3 beasts.

Sam took the beast carcass to a distance away from the camp, he took his team mates along with him. After it is dead there will be some secretions that the dead of this beast will release which is the major reasons the meat is contaminated.

Sam along with Kelly and Hawkʼs help made an earthen pot with mud. Even though, it isnʼt useful for long term use and isnʼt that sturdy, he still made it for this short-term purpose.

After preparing the pot, he started cutting open with the wind blades. Hawk looked at the short and small wind blades Sam is making without any hand seals and minimum expense of spiritual and couldnʼt help but open his mouth wide.

After cutting open the carcass, he took out the tail bone. It isnʼt the whole tail but rather the largest part of the tail. It is about one and a half feet long and it is not that thick

”This is for you. Even though, the handle isnʼt there and the edge isnʼt sharp, I think it is better than nothing. Hide it properly and do necessary arrangements as you seem fit.”

After that, he placed his palm like a knife and it is surrounded by the condensed wind, he started peeling the scales off of the skin and meat off of the bones.

He piled the bones away separately and placed the meat inside the pot before burying it.

After that, he picked up some scale which are the part of the tail and buried the remaining. There are ten scales in his hands. After that he took some intact and long bones which and buried the remaining along with the rest of the organs and waste of the beast.

”This pot might be one of our greatest help in the near future. That is why, I am doing this in front of you. Remember the location properly. After three days, one of us will come here and take it back.”

Everyone nodded their heads and all of them left the place back to the camp.

Here most of the people are settled by now as they killed the beasts. Seems like somebody in the crowd is knowledgeable enough, that nobody ate the beast meat and all of them are on their way of burying them.

But more than twenty people among the group are in a frenzy as they failed to find a beast and that included the weird trio. Because, none of the knew that Sam killed the first one.

The night fell and everyone went to rest. The next day, the last day of the first mission. Sam made his teammates act like they were searching the beast. because, the last twenty people will go crazy if they find out about it.

Even though, the fight might be inevitable as it would be revealed sooner or later, if others exhausted, the fight might be on their side and that is why, he ordered everyone to make sure not to use the spiritual energy.

While they were searching, Sam sneakily went back to his room and took out the scales and bones he buried at the corner.

He took a scale in his hand to check the sharpness. The scale is even harder than the bones and it is even sharp enough to cut through the bones. That is why it is not a good idea to let a Myriad mirage chameleon to sneak up on you.

He picked up a foot-long bone and started sharpening one of its edges with the scale. Even though, the scales are sharp, they are short and since he has some things that can be made into weapons, he is going to make some which will help them in danger.

And by the evening, Sam has more than ten bone knives. He passed on each to everyone and kept the rest to himself.

They arenʼt that long and can be hidden inside their clothes.

After the night fell, an announcement came.

”All the candidates who have tokens with them, come to the front door.”

After hearing this announcement, Sam came outside and walked towards the front door. Even though, some of them were surprised that Sam got hold of the last token, no one said anything, lest they were monitored and leave a bad impression on the person who is inspecting them.

After arriving at the front door, the voice instructed again.

”Now walk towards the right side of the door and you will find some slots for the tokens, drop them inside.”

They did as they were told and small compartments opened and there is a brush and a paper along with some ink in each compartment.

”Write the names, of the people you chose.” The voice instructed again and when they wrote the names, they kept the papers inside the compartments and closed them.

Soon, the names were called on by one in a loud voice.

To their surprise, two of weird trio were also called along with Samʼs team members.

After everyone was gathered ten large compartments opened with food packets inside them.

After taking it out, everyone was happy but the twenty people who didnʼt get any food soon came towards them. They are even ready to attack.

Looking at them all of them started to eat. Only the weird trio waited for their partner and three of them shared together. Since, they are smart enough to conserve some of their energy, the food was sufficient for three of them.

After having their meal, when they were about to thank Sam, he interrupted them.

”Thank Hawk. I am not that kind. Even though, our grudge might have been over, I wouldnʼt be so kind to give food to you.”

After that everyone, went back to their camps.

The weird trio went back to their camp after thanking Hawk. Even though, their meal seemed peaceful, the remaining batches werenʼt same.

Except for the twenty people from the Marquis city and Samʼs group who ate faster than the rest, the remaining candidates who ate slowly, were attacked and just like the first time, the fight for food went on.

And just like before, some of them had to agree for a truce. But this time, more than ten people didnʼt have any food at all.

They could barely sustain for another day or two if this goes on.

Sam looked at them and shook his head as a thought flew past his mind.

The first batch of candidates who decided to give up will emerge soon and it is just the first mission, that is completed.

He was looking forward to the future missions and also want to see how many of them will be getting past these six months and continue with the special branch.
