Chapter 133: 133: A Different Path
No matter what. He would still be stronger than everyone here. Even stronger than a hunter who specializes in physique, physically. After all, he would become a Taboo Fighter Grade 2 + Destiny Shadow Path Tier 9. Aside from that, he has far richer mastery of his current techniques and far richer combat experience. Furthermore, he still has Deka Step which gives him an immense advantage in terms of mobility.
Caleb couldn\'t help but observe Hanji. One of the recruits that had just come out. One who also chose the Hunter Path. Unlike before, the latter doesn\'t have obvious changes in terms of appearance. As for posture, Hanji stood upright and likely gained confidence due to an increase in his strength.
\'Well, what kind of ability did he gain?\'
He wants to ask the other party. However, he knew that it would be rude to do so. It was the same as giving your weaknesses to others. Yet, Caleb still walked in front of Hanji and forced out an envious expression on his face. "You\'re already Destiny. What abilities did you obtain? It must be strong, isn\'t it!?"
"?" Hanji was startled as he saw his fellow recruit who refused David\'s offer, approach him. Still, hearing Johan\'s question made him smile smugly. "You guess it! I\'m strong now. Above ordinary people! Hahaha!"
Seeing Hanji bragging, Caleb knew that the latter had fallen into his trap. No matter what, the recruits are still in the age of teens. The time when their youth burns the brightest. Who doesn\'t want to brag? They aren\'t immune to the pleasure brought by flexing yet. Of course, there are a select few that are mature enough. Find more chapters on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
"What abilities did you gain?" Caleb put on a gossipy expression.
Hearing this, a wide grin emerged from Hanji\'s face. Then he crossed his arms and looked at everyone. "Well, I think everyone who chose the hunter path obtains a similar ability. I feel that I have two abilities. I don\'t know why I know it, but I just feel it."
Caleb nodded, and a pensive expression appeared on his face. \'So he feels it instinctually? And he received two abilities? Well, not bad...\'
"Ahmmm... The first ability is weird. It\'s called Hunter Mode? It would just improve my physical strength and five senses to help me hunt better. Then the second ability is called Hunter\'s Mark and it can be activated. By marking a target, I can gain increased damage or accuracy against that specific foe for two minutes?"
\'So one passive and one active ability. Nice...\'
Caleb patted Hanji\'s back. "You got a bright future ahead of you." Then he left. After all, it was already Andre, Luna, and Clifford\'s left. Then it won\'t be too long before the team seven\'s turn.
\'What a weirdo.\' Hanji stared at Caleb\'s leaving back before he decided to strike up a conversation with his fellow recruits beside him, who hadn\'t become Destiny yet to brag.
Caleb, on the other hand, silently made his way to a silent corner to think. \'What abilities would I get?\'
Then he couldn\'t help but think of the other two regiments; Constables and the Guards. Just like the Scouts, they also have destiny recipes of their own. Albeit, they only have two, while the Scout has three. Still, it didn\'t really make a difference since the shadow path was fucking incomplete.
\'I wonder if Jin, Dunn, and Rina have already become Destiny now?\' He knew that with their abilities. Joining a regiment would be easy. However, due to their age, they would go into a different process of joining. \'If so, what path have they chosen?\'
Caleb didn\'t know what recipes the other two regiments possessed. However, he could make inferences based on the names. For example, Watchmen and Knight Path might belong to the Guard Regiment just based on their names. After all, what does a knight do? To guard and to defend, which was in line with the role of guards. Same with the Watchmen. They watched the gates for intruders. Of course, they are just inferences and they might be wrong.
On the other hand, constables might own the other two paths; Punisher and Sheriff, in line with their role of acting like police. The ones that maintain order in the city and prevent crimes.
\'Damn... Am I really that smart or it\'s just that easy to guess?\' He couldn\'t but sigh as he thought of this.
"Johan, it\'s your turn already."
Suddenly, Caleb saw Andre on his side with Luna and Clifford in tow. Caleb stared at the three for a moment and guessed. \'So they\'re done. They had become Destiny.\'
"Ohh... You guys are done? How does it feel?" Caleb had a shit-eating grin as he asked.
"It\'s good. I feel more powerful than ever." Andre responded.
Clifford smiled. "I also feel good. Having the power to kill those Apokalips, that is..."
As if thinking about something, Andre sighed. "I nearly chose Shinobi. However, Hunter Path is more suitable for combat. I don\'t specialize in Scouting and such..."
Luna, on the other hand, suddenly interjected. "Johan, it\'s your turn now. Don\'t make Captain wait. He already has a poor impression of you as of now." She chuckled. She still had a hard time understanding why Johan would choose an incomplete path. But still, she has faith in him.
"Well, you guys. I\'ll go now." Caleb walked beside the three and smiled. "It\'s time for me to become one."
Just like that, the three watched Caleb walk towards the door of the room. They couldn\'t help but look at each other.
"He really walks a different path than others."
"It might seem stupid, but it is what makes him cool. He dares to walk a path that others won\'t even think about." Clifford said with a complicated expression.
