After David announced his decision. The crowd of fresh recruits lined up obediently and one dares to neglect. No one wants to delay. Anxious to get their hands on the pill. Ultimately, it was their key to becoming a Destiny. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Even Caleb wasn't immune to this excitement.
After the Scout Recruits have all lined up in a straight line. David led them outside and walked towards the end of the main base, with the crowd following him. The Official Scouts who saw this had a smile on their face. After all, the younglings would be the ones to lessen the pressure on their backs in the future. .net
Scouts and being a Destiny might be attractive. However, only those who walk this path for a long time are walking on a tightrope, and they could fall into madness at any time. They have a good psychological quality, but it only takes one crack in glass for them to become a deranged monster that only knows violence.
A minute later of walked around the base. The crowd finally let out a sigh of relief as David stopped on his feet as he faced a two-meter metallic gate with a skull emblem etched on the middle of the gate surrounded by three constellation patterns; Cancer, Gemini, and Oreon.
The gate was exuding a heavy pressure and gloomy aura that made the crowd of recruits nervous. No one dared to talk with each other or even breathe loudly. Even David has a profound look on his face. As if resistant to enter or even take a step inside. There was a rare sign of fear on his face that didn't manage to escape Caleb's observant gaze. The look of fear only appeared for a split second, but his sensitive spirit managed to capture it...
"This is the Gate of Babel," David said in a deep voice.
'Just what the fuck is inside for this bastard to hesitate like this?'
David looked at the gate in front of him with dread before sighing. After a minute of intense internal conflict. He firmed himself and pushed the door with trembling hands. The crowd of teenagers held their breath for a moment. Some of the girls even closed their eyes.
When the recruits saw this. They immediately sprang up from their feet and retreated at least five meters, looking warily at the Gate of Babel. Caleb even used Deka Step at the fastest speed at the slightest movement of the gate. He secretly deployed his Absolute Focus on movement and was the first to be aware of change.
Just like that, they saw David walk out of the gate. He looks fine, but a bit pale. Except for that, there was no obvious change in him.
"Did it scare you? Well, your fear is well justified. The Gate of Babel is pretty dangerous. The higher-ups let the forbidden and dangerous items be sealed here. The place is protected by a curse. So any thief who dared to rob this would have to think twice." After saying this, David paused for a moment to breathe. Then he looked at the teenagers in front of him, who had their ears perked. "Only those who have Babel Mark like me can safely enter this place. Only fifth-seat officers have this."
David showed a blank ink dragon tattoo on his shoulders which made the eyes of recruits shined.
'So it turns out that this Gate of Babel is where the treasury room of the scout is located. Fair enough...'
"Captain, are those shiny stones in your hands the ones that contain recipes?" Andre, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but take a glance at sphere shaped stone. The stones weren't exuding anything of the sort and they just looked like normal stones with different colors. This made him feel a little disappointed. 'It's not actually that magical?'
"Yes." David released the three stones in his hands. They are black, red, and yellow. David cleared his throat and said. "These are Destiny Stone. It's already self-explanatory so I won't go in depth. You would line up one by one and wait for each other's turn. I also brought the materials you guys needed to concoct your pill. Of course, it's a credit that will be deducted from your contribution points in the future."
Caleb looked at the stone in wonder.
"The Red Stone contains the Hunter Pathway. Yellow Stone for the Shinobi Pathway, and the Black Stone..." David stared at Caleb for a moment with a displeased look. "For the Shadow Path."
