Chapter 138 - Recruitment

All of sudden, a student who could not accept that had lost the golden box to Phyllida shouted "Drop it!?" 

He instantly launched a sinister attack at Phyllida who was busy marking her imprint on the box.

Phyllida was expressionless and she did nothing to evade the attack, letting the attack land on her.

Her clansmate which were in the surroundings were instantly enraged as they shouted angrily.

"You dare!?" "Stop right there!" "Bastard!"

In the next second, there a sudden flash of lightning and the guy who was about to attack froze in that moment. And electric arc had suddenly emerged from the iron platform which held the golden box.

And it immediately transmitted its effect to the young man that was attacking instantly electrocution him, dying him black with his air standing on end as smoke rose from his body.

Although he was dead at the moment, with his current condition, he wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight anyways. With his injury, he was as good if he came out of the safe zone as it would take him at least 10 days to heal without an energy tank.

The other student gasped softly when they saw this.

"W-what just happened?" some student asked fearfully, he had also planned to attack Phyllida but he stopped himself as another person had taken the opportunity to attack.

"I think the safe zone attacked him." Someone stated, unsure of his answer.

"Then doesn't that mean it is impossible to fight while in the safe zone?" a smart lady piped in.

 It wasn't everyone that was aware of the fact that no one was allowed to attacked each other in the safe zone least they be electrocuted by the AI securing the safe zone.

This was why Phyllida had been so confident to the extent she had even turned her backs to the other students that was vying for the golden box.

As the golden box stored her information such as her blood-type, her fingerprint, her hear signature and such other information.

At that moment, the box suddenly opened and Phyllida stretched her hands reaching for the equipment that was within the box.

What she brought out from the box was instantly revealed to her and the other students.

It was a soft cloth, a camouflage looking overall, with an helmet placed gently bad carefully by the side.

Phyllida's expression changed greatly and without hesitation, she instantly placed the clothes back into the golden box.

All if this happened within a span of a single second but that single second was enough for a few people to glimpse at what Phyllida had brought out.

While a few people were confused as to why an ordinary cloth would be in the Golden box, a few character such as Aella, the almost forgotten Lu Feng, Janeane and some other few hidden characters had a massive change of expression as though it had been previously rehearsaled

They were in disbelief and greed clouded their eyes as they couldn't believe their eyes.

Lu Feng's face was full of regret and anguish, he wasn't the only one with such expressions as there were several figure that had the exact same expression.

Suddenly, the air in the surroundings became incredibly tense as several waves of murderous intent swept out from several locations.

As several figures locked their greedy sight on Phyllida but they didn't dare to make a move in the safe zone. Even Lu Feng couldn't contain his greed. Scratch that, he didn't even bother to hide his greed, same as the other Spryhers.

In the next second, the box before Phyllida was like fallen dominoes as the structure that made up the golden box broke down like a crumbling building, after which, the fallen pieces were like ants as they connected to each other like a tide.

The millions of Nanobots which made up the box suddenly moved up Phyllida's body like a massive wave of ants until it reached her back, forming a brown coloured backpack with the exact same colour as the cloth Phyllida was wearing.

A smile gradually graced Phyllida's face, with the slight circulation of her blood, she broke the numerous murderous waves pressuring her down.

Still on the high platform, she spoke as her sweet voice sounded out. "Can I get everyone's attention please?" her voice was soft, but it was piercing to the ears. It was obvious she had used her power to increase the strength of her voice.

The students that that had been murmuring in reducer their noise ruckus.

Smiling softly, Phyllida proceeded with her speech "I assume everyone knows who I am and most people might be aware of what I'm about to say."

Looking down at the students "Yes, that's right. I am hoping to recruit some students to assist me in getting the first position."

Before she could finish her speech, a loud snort resounded like thunder.

A student with blond hair and white skin, coupled with his arrogant expression that seem to want to pierce the skies.

"With that meagre strength of yours, you actually dared to try to recruit us. I don't know if I should call you Ignorant or stupid." Ferdern sneered, his voice almost overwhelming Phyllida's own.

She remained smiling and she shifted her gaze, looking at Ferdern.

"I know you, Ferdern Jagaus. If I'm not wrong, you should have just reached 60 cycles per second right." She smiled as she stated. It remained unknown how she even got that sort of information in this short amount of time.

Ferdern chuckled loudly as he puffed up his chest with pride radiating through his entire being while staring up at her.

Suddenly, Phyllida scoffed loudly and she shook her head. " You are too weak. I'm afraid you do not have the right to participate in this conversation. " she said in mockery.

Her voice was cold and chilling but also plain as though she had just merely stated facts.

Ferdern's face darkened in anger and as he was about to burst out with a chain of insults since he couldn't attack her, the corner of his eyes caught onto the look of mockery from the other students, as they murmured with each other while gazing at him as though he was an idiot.

It was as clear as day and he couldn't help but shut his mouth and his arrogance receded immediately as he shrank backwards into the crowds in shame.
