Chapter 272: Visitors!

Miles looked at the gray silhouette swimming in the dark space of the orb. It looked like a dagger but was a bit longer than a regular dagger. Deciding to charge and see it, Miles let energy fill the orb while Coin let out golden electricity as the orb melted in his hand.

A pitch-black dagger, almost 40 cm in length and two fingers in width appeared in his hand. The handle was gray, while the blade itself was black. Black fumes were swirling around the dagger, giving an ominous feeling. Miles gauged the dagger in his hand, and he was satisfied with it. Since they agreed for him to take the second orb, he didnt offer for Alex to take it just because it was rare. It would be an insult to Alex too.

Good dagger. Although the monster was only low-tier, it was approaching mid-tier. Alex praised with a smile.

Hmm. Seems a pretty good weapon for my tastes as well. Miles smiled as they returned to cook the chicken on steroids. They didnt want to eat the wolf first because it was mainly in the Death element, secondly, it looked like rotten food already.

After cooking the chicken on fire, they started to eat, while Alex asked, Have you ever wondered what your superpower would be?

Of course I did. When I was small, I would think about it all the time. Miles shook his head. Following the tradition, his superpower would be similar to Merlin and Marcelas. Maybe something even better. But he didn't have that opportunity anymore. His ancient gene got destroyed, and he couldn't awaken evermore.

Would you want to learn if there was a way? Alex asked while eating the ham of the chick.

Not really. It would be a lot more devastating to learn that I have a super cool superpower. Now at least I dont know what it is. Miles thought for a while, then answered. He probably wouldnt want to now.

So I heard, David said, and looked at Miles. I failed to catch your name when in the stronghold.

I am Number 2 and he is Number 1, Miles said without any emotion on his face, and no bullshit seeping out of his tone.

Oh, you are playing that silly game too. David laughed and said, Although Milosh likes to act tough, most of the things he said dont apply, really. In no time at all, you all will be using your real names.

Miles and Alex didnt say anything and acted cool. David looked at them and snorted. Seems like you are ignoring me. Now, now, that is a little hurtful.

But since it came to this David said and without even finishing his words, he dashed towards Alex with the man standing close to Alex. The other man stood opposite the wolf and jumped towards Miles. lets see if you are the real Marooner!

Miles opened his eyes in surprise and looked at David. They were already aware of them when they left the stronghold, but Miles didnt know why. Until now, he always assumed they were following in case they got something valuable, but he never thought that they were here because they somehow thought Alex was the Marooner.

Miles looked at the man dashing at him. They were sophomores, thus were stronger than Alex and him. Miles turned to run away as he jumped over a tree. The man followed after him with a sword in his hand, while a fiery wind was covering the sword. No one admitted to the Academy was a regular human, and although Miles and Alex were a tad stronger than others, there wasnt too much difference.

Just the regular foot soldier following David had a rare elemental ability. Miles was holding the death elemental dagger, but against the sword in the opponent's hand, he had a disadvantage in range. Miles clicked his tongue and turned the dagger back in its orb form, before keeping it.

The man following him sneered and jumped towards him with a sword in hand. Gave up already?
