Chapter 119: 119: Seismic Glass
"Ready? I\'ve been waiting for this for years. Once I became a Scout. My parents and neighbors would be proud of me. I don\'t care how hard it is." With his clenched fist, Kidd said with determination.

Caleb and others also expressed their readiness, which made Zetsu nod.
"Follow me then. I already told you that the test would be on agility, right?"
...
The team seven followed Zetsu, who led to the forest. The forest has various beasts, all of which were dealt with by Zetsu.
Caleb and the others were amazed by the ease at which Zetsu dealt with the wild beasts that tried to attack them. There was nothing that could come one meter around them.
They traveled in the forest and reached the heart of it. There, they were attacked by a group of agile blue-furred monkeys. However, most of them died with holes in their foreheads, without the exception of Zetsu\'s hands.
No matter how big or small, no beast manages to force Zetsu to use his destiny abilities, which the others find a pity.
Tweeting birds, fresh breeze from the trees, and the blue sky above gave the forest an atmosphere of life and vitality. For a while, Caleb felt a sense of refreshment due to the change of pace. The gloomy mood and silence from the seemingly haunted wooden house to a green environment. The change of pace put him in a good mood. Of course not only him. But also the other members.
In another half an hour. They came out of the forest with pieces of leaves scattered on their clothes and hair.
In front of them, there was the mouth of a cave that seemed to lead underground.
Shu stared at the entrance of the cave and gave Zetsu a questioning look. "Sensei, don\'t tell me that you will conduct the test underground?"
"Why? What seems to be the problem?" Zetsu\'s smile widened.
Rozho, Kidd, Kazuto, and Caleb looked at the entrance of the cave, which was releasing a cold white mist. On top of the spiky rocks, water could be seen dripping to the ground.
"Scouts should be flexible. You need to adapt to your environment. And the best way to train agility is in a cramped environment." Zetsu said before he took a step until the shadows in the cave devoured his silhouette.
\'Well, fuck this.\'
"Do not be selfish once the test starts. We need to help each other." Shu said solemnly, which made the others nod.
They knew that this time. They really need to set aside their differences. This test would determine if they would stay as a mortal for their entire lives or become a destiny. A powerful being that could determine their fate with their own power.
As they stepped upon the cave. Caleb felt the dampness in the air. The smell of sulfur, the cold air, and the thin air around the cave made him uncomfortable for a while.
Suddenly, he felt a pat on his back. It was Rozho, which surprised him. After all, the guy had been for a long time.
"What?"
"I\'ll be the one in front and you stay behind. I will take the role of the Pathfinder. Since Zetsu-Sensei was nowhere to be seen. It means we need to find our way with ourselves."
Caleb nodded. "It seems that the test has already started." As he said this. He couldn\'t help but look around. It might be dark, but it\'s not enough to block his sensitive spirit.
If he has to say it. There\'s no difference for him if it was day and night, as his vision was enhanced by his spirit. Though not as detailed as in the day.
Rozho took the three swords. No... They\'re actually katanas. He took them out of their sheaths. He bit the hilt of one of them while the other two katanas were held in each of his hands.
Such a weird stance, it reminded Caleb of a certain anime character. Add to that of Rozho\'s green hair.
Suddenly, a strong aura came out from Rozho\'s body that made Caleb dizzy.
Shu\'s eyes narrowed slightly. He also felt the change in Rozho. He was like a dormant sword that was unsheathed. His gaze was sharp enough to cut even diamonds. The aura that engulfed him made him seem like a peerless sword.
"Sword intent. He comprehended sword intent."
\'My mother! So sword intent also exists in this damned world!?\'
Caleb couldn\'t help but exclaim in his mind. What is a sword intent? Those are the legendary concepts only available to sword geniuses!
\'I\'ll be damned!\'
As if to prove something. The protruding rocks on the ceiling were split into pieces.
\'Didn\'t expect this kid to have such a strong sword intent. How unexpected... Even those Tier 5 destinies with strong comprehension might not necessarily comprehend sword intent. What a genius! An excellent seed! Damn, I will be surely rewarded this time for discovering such a seed!\'
Unbeknownst to the teens. Zetsu was monitoring them twenty meters away with a special item called \'Seismic Glass\' that could monitor people in real time that the user interacted with. It has a range of two kilometers.
"This Rozho. He\'s a lion in sheep\'s clothes. Just as I expected. Silent people are really the real deal." Kazuto concluded as he eyed Rozho with a look of awe. After all, the strong deserve respect.
\'I shouldn\'t provoke this guy.\' Kidd reminded himself. He didn\'t dislike anyone on the team besides Kazuto.
Just like that, Rozho led the way. The members are now fully convinced of his strength with his show of power. As for Caleb, he didn\'t intend to reveal his true strength and abilities unless absolutely necessary. It was already a standard routine to stay low-key for travelers in stories. Although he wasn\'t a protagonist. As long as he doesn\'t have overwhelming power yet. He intends to stay low profile.
