QT: Against My Will

Chapter 132

132 3.09.37 – My ability – Downfall of Humanity

“I’m a space user. It should help us during moving,” said Fu Lian.

Bing Shi stood up from her seat. “That’s great and all but... I don’t trust you,” she said and walked to the food counter.

Yi Zen frowned, was his little sister against his relationship? He looked at his kitten, apologetically, “Don’t mind her; she has trust issues.”

“It’s fine,” Fu Lian picked up a piece of tofu. She was not sure about their relationship, it’s far from average. “Maybe she is afraid that I’ll steal her ‘big brother’ away,” she said, full of doubts.

“That might be the last thing she is thinking about,” Yi Zen stood up with a chuckle and went to take his food. “Do you hate Fu Lian?” he asked the person, who was filling her tray with tofu and stir-fried vegetables.

“No, why should I? She did nothing to me,” Bing Shi scooped a cup of rice, and leaned over to whisper to his ears. “I tried to help your relationship by being a bully,” she said and left for her tent to fill up her tummy, leaving behind a flabbergasted Yi Zen.

‘Maybe that’s why their relationship stagnated, because there are no villain girls? Should I become one or should I recruit some jelly girls?’

‘Hm, Hm, Hm.... Why not both?’

( Bing Shi’s dictionary: jelly girl = a jealous woman without a brain.)

.....

After finishing her meal, Bing Shi continued with her training. Breathing, calmness returned, whilst self-control emerged. Unaware of her heart beating or the rise and fall of her chest, she drifted into self-consciousness. The barrier glistened, mirroring the dazzling assemblage of glittering stars as it absorbed the nucleus’s energy.

Focusing on the moment, she was struck by a wish to melt in with the barrier. As if hearing her intention, the barrier shrunk into the size of a diamond and lurked itself into Bing Shi’s mind.

‘So this is the inner energy everyone was talking about? Mine wasn’t even inside. This whole time, it was on the walk outside! ?’

[“Kuro, you hear me?”]

[I do. How did you do it?]

Bing Shi described to Kuro her situation while practicing with the barrier. She came up with a whole bunch of ideas on how to use it to its full potential. The problem was, she wasn’t a gifted genius to implement her ideas immediately. Used to the ‘no pain, no gain’ lifestyle, she was more than ready to practice hard.

At the open field, soldiers stood in an orderly line; Qua Tao and Bing Shi helped to write down their abilities, while Yi Zen and Fu Lian followed after them.

Most of their abilities fell under the four elements: fire, water, earth, and wind. Among them, there were some special ones.

Yi Zen: Dual ice/lightning

Fu Lian: One thousand square meter space

Ban, Bishop: Healing

Qua Tao: Dual flash/wind

Tedy: Metal

Pony and three others: Space in the size of a room without any vegetation or water

Wan Ke: Teleportation

As for Ren Han and Kuro...

Bing Shi stopped at her steps and looked up at the iconic duo, “It’s your turn.”

Both Ren Han and Kuro levitated above the ground in boredom; without taking notes, they could remember everything.

Ren Han looked around him, his gaze stayed on a particular object for a short moment, before everyone gasped in shock. The sword, which was safely placed in Fu Lian’s sheath, was pulled out by an invisible power to the air. Before it could slice Fu Lian’s neck, it was enveloped by a thick layer of ice. Yi Zen quickly created a protective ice shield before them. With a dark expression, he sent a bolt of lightning at the man. It should be a good warning for Ren Han not to play with his property.

Ren Han let go of the sword with a wicked grin and created a telekinetic shield above his head, the sword fell on the ground and shattered to a million of pieces, “Someone had to teach her a lesson. Threatening people’s lives, without knowing her opponents... she is clearly asking for death.”

Ren Han had such potent telekinetic abilities that bordered on matter manipulation. His powers allowed him to pull dust-like particles from matter – he could turn it into any object as well as manipulate it.

Fu Lian brought a little tyranny to the base. Whoever looked a bit lewdly at her, would meet her sword or no food for the day. Because she was a woman with powerful backing, nobody dared to retaliate. Despite the thought that she was only a host in their base.

Hearing Ren Han’s words, they had to nod in agreement, opening their eyes, they could see that their omnipotent general could be useless at times.

Wait...the opponent thing... Was Ren Han challenging Yi Zen?!

It wasn’t even the end of the day, and those two men were showcasing their abilities to their fullest! Those soldiers were top of the top. Yet, they could create a fireball at most. So hateful!

Bing Shi almost fell on her knees. Someone attempted to kill her mission before her eyes! Her heart was shaking as she looked at Ren Han, Fu Lian, and Yi Zen; her need to protect them was so strong that she created a protective barrier around them instinctively almost instantly.

Yi Zen looked down at the untamed kitten, whispering to her ears, “You can do whatever you want, I’ll protect you.” As the strongest, he felt no fear, “But you can never leave my side.”

Fu Lian didn’t react to his flowery words, but his hot breath tickled her ears, turning them slightly pink. “I could avoid that sword,” she said while staring at Ren Han. She never questioned her actions. In her eyes, she only saw fault in others.

Bing Shi came near Ren Han, “What if you caused an accident and somebody got injured or died ...from a heart attack?”

‘My heart attack.’

Ren Han looked around and pointed at Ban and Bishop, “We have two healers.”
