Chapter 1252 - The Ready Hunters!
~Tup...
The communicator went off, and everyone, including McKenzie, silently waited for their leader's instructions.
But what was their leader doing?
Jonah clasped his palms together while still maintaining his ever-smiling expression.
"My oh my!... How honourable it is to have SS-class visitors in our home." He said harmlessly before suddenly reading a dangerous aura around him.
And instantly, everyone had cold sweat form on their backs.
No one said anything, only listening to their leaser's eerie voice.
"How unexpected that they would pay us a visit this late into the night. Not only is it rude, but it also disrupted our training. And you know, after training, is my favourite time of all... Meditation!"
Swish!
Jonah slashed his wooden sword fiercely, creating a powerful slash deep into the tree before him.
Shiver. Shiver!
McKenzie and a few others felt a shower crawl up their spines when they saw the damage caused by Jonah's seemingly casual move.
Lying trough! Their leader was able to make such a sharp-blade mark with a wooden sword?
So, could this be the power of the Shaolin's?
(°?°)
.
McKenzie's brain took off in shock while replaying what just went on in his mind.
F***!
You know, he had only recently joined the Silver Fox brigade and hadn't seen Jonah's full potential yet.
For one, the silver Fox brigade, just like the rest, had a mixture of several talents from several sectors.
This meant that talented Shaolins were also selected and could join the brigades as well.
Bottom line, Shaolins could choose to join the Brigades too.
The Shaolin sector was very mysterious, as though it were an organization of some sort.
No! It was more like a sect that only members of the Shaolin could enter.
And this meant that they were no doubt the celebrities of the place... Just like how those in the Special forces were army celebrities too.
A clean deep cut exposed itself on the tree as though some carpenter or lumberjack had diligently carved it out.
The precision and angles were so defined that McKenzie's throat couldn't help bobbing in disbelief.
And before he could fully pull himself back, Jonah's cold words quickly woke him up from his stupor.
"Follow the plan and begin the Hunt!"
'Hmm!' Everyone hummed in acknowledgment before taking off like lightning!
~Swish!
Like so, they were off!
.
The air grew tense as they now dashed through the foggy terrain.
The night which was supposed to feel hot, now felt slightly colder than usual, with everyone's mind focused on the upcoming battle!
And, of course, McKenzie felt the same as well.
Woosh!
His body moved like paper flying in the wind as he hastily tailed his seniors diligently.
And the closer he got, the more tremors he felt within him.
SS-class! SS-class!
Mckenzie's body moved according to the rhythm of those ahead of him.
And the more he followed his superiors, the more he felt very lacking.
It was true! Like a fish out of water, he was still struggling to fully grasp the various new techniques he had learnt within the Brigade.
Heh. Within the brigade, they also learnt various Upper-rank Assassination skills as well.
And the shocking thing was that most of these skills were invented by his Majesty himself!
That alone was a mind-blowing fact.
From the Praying Mantis techniques to the Crane, so many were never before seen techniques.
Of course, the Assassination and Scouting skills varied, as one could pick offensive skills, defensive skills, learn different steps or movement skills and whatnot.
Even breathing techniques were all created within the barracks.
.
One had to know that within the barracks, everyone else learnt basic and intermediate assassin skills for essential scouting, spying, performing missions and whatnot.
But, it was important to also know that the more challenging stuff was all within the Shaolin sectors, the Brigades and other uprising restricted sectors.
McKenzie glanced at the people around him who only left after images of themselves and couldn't help analyzing their techniques even more.
INPO- the sacred art of hiding in plain sight... which means that one must take advantage of every possible object to conceal themselves.
It was a basic Ninjutsu skill that made it seem like one vanished into thin air!
And looking at the group of seniors, some were using the Air, Wood, Earth, Water methods... And the hardest of all, the Fore method!
Some even switched from one method to another like crazy, which almost made McKenzie kneel in awe.
I'll go! He was still trying to fully grasp the Upper skill Earth method he picked out from the Special library dedicated to all Brigades.
So seeing people jump from one primary method to another, how could he not feel helpless?
Could it be that he was an idiot or something?
(+w+)
.
McKenzie was truly struck hard the longer he watched.
That is, Earth methods referred to techniques that required one to master the art of hiding like a quail in small gaps between 2 objects.
The primary consideration there was that one had to completely fill the space between the objects.
And in this way, one might easily avoid detection as the observer would scan, overlook and walk by without noticing it.
Even then, one has to constantly think fast on their feet to improvise with whatever objects were before them.
He had seen people manage to strategically hide within a pole and a few bushes before as if it were nothing.
It wasn't magic or anything of that sort.
No. one could say that it was creating an illusion of any vanishing act instead.
They could blend seamlessly with nature, as though they were ordinary leaves on the trees.
And the more McKenzie thought about it, the more he felt like a waste after realizing that he had only barely managed to master just one Earth Method technique since he got to the brigade.
Dammit!
With the earth method, there were over 200 styles or what his majesty called manuals, that were being kept away for those with access to them.
Of course, the most challenging Primary skills came from the manuals that focused on the Fire method.
.
The Fire method itself could make one completely erase sound and shadow.
It basically entails always moving behind a light source in such a way that it would avoid casting shadows and getting recognized by the enemy.
And while doing all this, one had to eliminate sound, as if they were a ghost.
For this primary method, there were fewer manuals allocated for it... Like the famous Shadow Clone technique. Or the shadow illusion techniques. There were only about 30 or so manuals on it since its difficulty level was generally too high for many to master.
However, Jonah the Archangel had completely mastered 2 Fire methods and could use the moonlight or any other light source to his advantage, as if he were a vampire or something.
So how cool was that?
(°0°)
Mackenzie watched and came to this realization in awe.
Alright, he felt more and more pumped up for the Hunt!
