Chapter 645 - Battle Maniac
Chapter 645 - Battle Maniac
Jennifer was not sure why Jason was suddenly bursting into laughter, but when he had calmed down, she understood it as he asked her something.
"It's quite interesting to see that you hide your identity from the cadets, while you use your disguised identity when you are in Lanro.
Is that because the Aeus and Devir race are not allowed to find you, or has this something to do with the cadets and the fact that you saved them while not being disguised?"
Only now did she understand that Jason laughed out because he had realised that Jennifer was currently in her normal, undisguised appearance, which meant that she revealed herself in front of him and the cadets.
Thus, it was only logical for him to be confused, even if she didn't really understand what made him laugh.
'Do I look funny?' She wondered while looking at herself in confusion. But when her eyes flitted back to Jason, Jennifer felt as if he didn't laugh at her, but something else, which was even more confusing.
Seeing this, Jason hurriedly cleared the misunderstanding.
"I didn't laugh at your appearance, but more at the fact that I didn't notice the change in your appearance before!"
"Ohh", Jennifer now understood what he meant, and looked at him with a faint smile.
'Weirdo!'
After a short moment of silence, Jennifer decided to answer Jason's earlier question.
"I don't disguise myself in front of my cadets because I saved them in my normal appearance and the revelation of three cultivation energies, to begin with. It's exactly as you said, but there is also a difference.
You could say I use two identities, for multiple purposes.
For example, my disguised form is to be used when I'm in Lanro, because I can conceal my cultivation energies with a specific device too. This didn't work in your case, so it might have to be upgraded soon.
By using my disguised form in Lanro, or to be precise outside the cadet camp, the cadets won't be able to tell that it's me, which is another reason for me to reveal my identity to them, but hide it outside.
Another reason for hiding are the Aeus and Devir race who want to kill me by all means, but that is something I don't want to tell you right now!"
When Jennifer said the last sentence, her eyes turned somewhat sad and were filled with all kinds of other, complex emotions which made Jason feel weird, only for her to regain her composure as she said.
"Either way, you can think of other reasons for revealing myself to the cadets while hiding my appearance and cultivation energies from others for yourself, but the ones I mentioned were the most important!"
After that, she turned quiet for a moment, only to quickly add,
Follow me, we already wasted too much time, I want to see you fight!"
With that being said, she unfurled her white Aeus wings before flying towards a specific direction in which Jason saw a small hill.
Artemis entered his mana core and Jason followed after Jennifer as Artemis' wing manifested on his back.
Jennifer had already seen his wings, so she was not astonished to see him fly.
Rather than being curious about his wings, she was more interested in his frozen flame and other unique things Jennifer hoped to learn more about from him.
Thus, she flew straight towards the hill, only to travel through the solid stone wall as if it was made of thin air.
Under normal circumstances, this would have shocked Jason, but he had already inserted a lot of mana into his Emperor Eyes, allowing him to see the profound illusion runes, concealing the entrance to the hill.
As such, without slowing down, Jason entered the cave, passing the illusion rune without any hesitation.
Only then did he notice that the entire surrounding had been concealed to such a great extent that his Emperor Eyes hadn't even been able to perceive anything. Suddenly, he sensed the energy fluctuations of several thousand human-like beings.
This astonished him because he'd never seen a concealment that worked against his Emperor Eyes, which told him that the place they had entered was more unique than he initially assumed.
'They're really building a small army of double awakened, Variants, and Mutants?'
Less than a minute passed before Jennifer and Jason entered a ginormous hall that was bright enough to make him believe that the sun was shining through the hill they had entered.
Looking around, Jason noticed several things that attracted his interest, but the most important was that all the thousands of cadets belonged to the Aeus, Devir, and human race without a single one that could possibly be called normal.
There were Devirs with a water affinity, Aeus with a poison affinity, and humans with all kinds of unique mutations.
Because of their variations, Jason assumed that they had been exiled from their race, or they had received a death sentence before Jennifer or luck saved them from imminent death.
Evidently, they had been able to flee from the grasp of others, or they were rescued by someone like Jennifer, who seemed to understand what being an anomaly felt like more than anyone else.
Jason had already noticed that her behavior towards him had been weird, and he could only assume that it was because he was a halfling, just like her.
In the end, this was not the entire truth, but Jason believed this to be the case.
Thus, he didn't even realise that Jennifer was not only interested in him as a halfling, but also because everything about him made her curious.
She didn't know the reason for that herself, but somehow she couldn't wait to unravel the mystery named Jason.
If she had to state a moment in which her curiosity had sparked, it was probably their first encounter which was similar to how Jason felt.
He was also curious about her but didn't know to what extent this was the case.
Because of that, he could only get his act together as he looked at the cadets that were trained for a specific purpose which Jason had yet to figure out.
Landing on the ground, their arrival attracted some attention as Jason didn't hide his Stigma or Celestia aura.
Artemis' wings dispersed, and only a moment later, he took a look around, trying to figure out the average strength of everyone.
This was easier said than done because the cadets' strength ranged from the Mortal stage up to the Initial stage of the Ascendion stage.
At the same time, some Manyrs seemed to have only cultivated in one of the two cultivation paths they had awakened, making it difficult for the uncultivated dormant path to catch up to the other one.
Jason found this interesting, but when he saw that Jennifer was walking in a specific direction, he quickly followed her.
He didn't know what she had planned, but he was interested in figuring out more about the situation with the cadets than fighting them.
Despite that, his eagerness to fight was tremendous, which was noticeable in his aura that flickered wildly.
The cadets were astonished about his aura that seemed different than the Aeus or Devirs, which made them believe that Jason had gotten his hands on a different, stronger technique than they had.
Even though they were curious, Jason was currently not approachable to the cadets, who knew that a true battle maniac could be found behind the beautiful face of the young woman.
Just thinking about Jennifer's expression when she fought seriously made them shiver in fright, and they didn't even want to remember the spars they had fought against her because they had been beaten up, even after she restricted her strength to a large extent.
At that moment, Jason asked Jennifer the question that had been lingering on his mind for quite some time, not sure whether he should ask or not.
"What is the exact reason for you to train this entire group of people? From the looks of it, all of them have something that makes them different, so I guess you either rescued them like the three people you saved upon our first encounter, or they were exiled.
Just what are you and Luna planning?"
Hearing this question, Jennifer halted in her tracks, before she turned around to smile at him.
However, instead of smiling nicely, her expression seemed a little bit grim, which turned her entire smile into something eerie as she answered,
"This is one of the training camps for the Tritans, and I obviously train them so as to make them capable enough to protect themselves and fight against those that brought them pain, agony, and fear!"
