Era of Authority

24 Also A Chosen...

Seeing that William was running at him, Greg put his hands behind his back and made a dagger with his enlightenment.

When William was in front of him, he trusted his knife to Greg's heart, but Greg deflected it with his dagger and jumped back a few meters.

After he landed he looked at William and said,"It would be a bit troublesome if someone sees us fighting with real life weapons, no?"

Hearing this William halted and looked at Greg with a confused face.

"Don't try anything funny. No one will save you, even if you try and save time with your futile speech."

"Really? Then I want to ask a question. Your 'God'... Did he teleport you somewhere else and gave you...Enlightenment?" asked Greg with a smile.

"Huh? How did you know?" asked William with a surprised face.

"Haha..." Greg just laughed and waived his hand.

In that instant, the scenery changed. The buildings, the lamps, the street even the sky dissapeared. What remained was...Whiteness.

Seeing this William staggered back a few step, while his eyes grew bigger and bigger in every second.

"H-how is this possible?" asked William with fear.

Greg started to walk closer and closer to William and said,"As like you, I was also chosen. But the difference is that I have my powers longer than you."

Hearing this William looked at Greg and said,"And? What if you have it longer? If you can't kill me, then it doesn't matter."

With that, William held up his knife and started to run toward Greg.

But when he tried to step forward, he felt like he was in solid mud. He couldn't move his feet.

When he looked down he saw that his legs were frozen in unbreakable ice, which was coming from the ground.

Try as he want, he couldn't break free.

"Let me go!"said William with an angry voice.

Greg just walked in front of him and smiled.

After a while his face turned serious and asked,"Before I let you go, tell me. Why do you hate me this much?"

"It's not your business, you piece of trash!" shouted William and suddenly an unexpected sight started to unfold.

From William, fluid like material started to fell to the ground. When it touched the ground it started to multiply.

When it reached number 15, they started to form into a shape of a human.

First bones, organs, then flesh and skin. In a flash, 15 clones which looked the same as William, surrounded Greg in a circle.

After looking around Greg turned his gaze back to William, but his eyes contracted in shock.

It was because William's legs in the ice started to melt.

His skin, flesh and after that his bones. All of it melted into a slime like thing and fell down.

Seeing this Greg almost felt throwing up.

In 5 seconds William escaped from the ice prison and his legs started to grow back, while the slime ball on the ground started to evaporate.

It didn't take him even a second to recover his lost limbs.

"Hehe! Now what will you do?" asked William with a mocking smile.

Greg feeling that the situation was bad took out his swords.

"You think that you can kill me with just those swords? Ha! Futile!!" said William and with his clones he jumped at him.

Greg seeing this, pointed his left sword forward and made a horizontal slash.

In that instant the sword got longer to 5 meters and cut every clone in two from the waist.

But as the sword went through them, their body heald in an instant.

William just smiled with an eerie face and continued to close the gap between him and Greg.

Greg after trying it a few more time, started to think,"What should I do? He has abnormal regeneration power, with this cloning ability. And what is worse, that all of his clones has the same powers."

When William and his clones were on him he raised his hand up and in that moment earth started to rise up from below.

In an instant a gigantic earth wall appeared in front of him.

Seeing that a huge boulder was blocking his way, William halted and looked up.

The wall in front of him was so high the he couldn't see the top of it.

"Haha! What a nice trick. But don't think I don't have a way to go in." said William and touched the wall.

In that instant William's body turned the same slime like material and seeped into the wall.

On the other side Greg was watching as the red liquid started to come out of the stone wall from different places.

After they fell to the ground, the same disgusting scene happened and William appeared in front of him.

"You can't escape from me!" said William with the same creepy smile.

Hearing this Greg just smiled and asked,"I didn't want to escape from you. If I wanted I would have been already on the other side of the earth."

"Ha! What a joke! Don't talk nonsense. It's not like you can teleport."

Greg just smiled and suddenly he dissapeared. The next moment he appeared next to one of William's clone and touched him.

In that instant the clone turned into a jade sculpture and with that Greg cut him up into small pieces in no time at all.

After seeing that the clone didn't regenerate, Greg said,"So it seem your clones can't heal as fast as you. They have their own disadvantages."

After saying that, he started to teleport here and there, doing the same thing to the other clones.

Watching as his other self's got cut up like that, William started to panic. If he will be the next one he wasn't so sure that he can heal that fast or no.

His God told him, just after he practice his powers a lot, will he be almost immortal.

If he can reach that level, only one material in one place can kill him, but his God didn't tell him where and which.

So as he wanted to make other clones to escape, suddenly Greg appeared in front of him. His face was inches away from his.

When William thought this was the end Greg stopped his sword in front of his eyes and said,"You can choose. Apologies and I forget what happened today or die."

Seeing Greg's chilling eyes, William felt a chill run down his spine and he fell to his knees.

After a bit, he said while looking down,"I-I...I apologies."

"That's what I wanted to hear." said Greg with a smile and with a waive the scenery turned back to normal.

When William looked up he didn't see Greg anywhere.

The ice, the huge stone wall even the clone's pieces vanished. Like everything was just an imagination.

He stood up and started to walk away with an expressionless face.

[In Class X]

Pete was standing in front of the class and he was looking at the students with the same emotionless face.

"As you may know, you have to make monthly Missions. But the difference is that the minimum level you can choose is a Gold one. If you choose below that it won't count one."

After he said this a guy in a camo uniform put his hand up.

"Yes, Michael?" asked Pete.

"What type of Missions are there?"

"It's a good question, I will tell you now. Bronze Missions are the easiest. It's about to find lost things around the Academy. In Silver Missions you have to help in shops or factories. The hardest ones are coming from Gold and above. " said Pete and after looking at the students he continued,"Gold and Ruby ones are about fighting or information gathering. It can be in the Academy, but there are some which goes out to the continents."

Hearing this everybody's face was at shock.

Seeing this Pete said,"But don't worry. You will have a teacher with you during the Mission, if you want to go out."

"And what about Diamond ones?" asked a black haired girl in the front.

"Hmm...your name was Ella, right?"

"Yes!"

"Well Ella, Diamond Missions are so hard, that if you choose to do one there is a chance you won't come back alive."

Hearing this Ella started to sweat a bit. After a while she asked,"If it's this dangerous, then why are there these kind of Missions?"

"Like I said in the beginning of the semester, our school is different than normal schools. In this school, knowledge and danger comes together. Anything else?"

Seeing that nobody want to ask, Pete continued,"If there is nothing, then now go and choose a Mission. And remember! Gold ones are the minimum for Class X."

With that everybody stood up and started to walk out.

When Greg stood up, he saw that William was going out with Liam. When their eyes met, William looked at him angrily but didn't say anything.

Greg shook his head and as he wanted to go out, Dorothy and Isla came next to him.

Dorothy grabbed his sleeve and asked with a blush,"D-do you want to go together and choose a Mission?"

"Sure." smiled Greg and they walked out of the school.

While they were walking, Greg started to talk,"I hope, because of what happened, you won't be afraid of me."

"Ah?N-no! It was just a bit shocking for us what you did. But we saw that William has no problem, even if we don't know how he recovered in only 1 and a half day, but it's okay. It was just a stupid fight, no sis?" asked Dorothy.

"Yeah, you are right. But your fighting skills are inhuman. What field are you in?" asked Isla curiously.

"Ah, me? Well, it's hard to tell, so I can just say it's like a martial art field. Ah, but look! There is the Mission Wall." said Greg and fastened his pace.

Dorothy and Isla looked at each other, but in the end they just smiled.

"Well, nevermind. We will figure it out sooner or later." said Isla with a smile.

"Hehe! You are right!" answered Dorothy while laughing.

And with that, they followed Greg inside the building, which was a huge, futuristic skyscraper...
