Apocalypse Regression's

Other Exams?

Ark's question clearly made the four people, especially Shani feel inferior.

Jonas took a deep breath. Having a stern expression on his face, he began to speak.

"If what you're looking for is a strong fighter, obviously we're not qualified. However, I believe that you are not only looking for strong people, because they are also quite difficult to control.

My guess is, you don't really need strong people because you and your team are now strong enough to survive many disasters."

"Hou?" Ark raised his eyebrows. "Then, what do you think I need now?"

"Faithful members," replied Yonas firmly.

"Interesting." Ark nodded. "Then, are you sure you meet those requirements?"

"We are sure to be faithful. Of course, as long as you treat us fairly and don't betray us."

"While I told you to kill another human being?"

"..."

Seeing Yonas speechless, Ark raised the corner of his lips.

"God, you know, I'm not as good as Julian. I'm not just going to hold people for pity. There are people who deserve and do not deserve to live.

So, I will finish off the inappropriate and remove those who stand in my way.

Do you still want to join and agree to obey all my orders?"

"If they deserve to die, then I don't mind killing them!"

Having a stern expression on his face, Yonas said out loud. His hands clenched tightly when recalling the figures of his friend who sacrificed on the front lines, but in the end were completely unappreciated. Instead, he was humiliated when he died to protect those people.

Such people are the ones that Jonas hates the most!

Looking towards Yonas who looked resolute and had a look of resentment, Ark nodded lightly. Not only Yonas, but Vadim also had the same expression. While Shani, she also looked angry but helpless.

"At least, there's a part of your mind that goes along with me. It makes me want to accept you guys, but, I also have a test for the three of you.

Yep. You're not coming, Darin. I told you that you'd be a member after returning safely."

"Thank you, Chief!"

Darin said firmly. He then looked towards Yonas and the two others.

'I've escorted you and helped you get here. Now, whether or not to enter the Sword of Sufferings depends on you alone.'

Thought Darin before taking a deep breath.

"Your name is Yonas, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Ark!"

"I'll give you a choice. First choice, the three of you get out of the elite residential area, survive three days and hunt down thirty zombies.

Or secondly, as the big brother and captain of the small team, you are willing to bear the burden of two people behind you. Take one attack from me. Stand up for a minute without falling."

Yonas thought hard. Although it seems that the second one is simple, he is also not stupid. Clearly, Ark's attack must have been stronger than Jay's.

But, hold on for a minute. That meant rather than directly attacking him forcefully, Ark would use a painful attack. He could not stand up because of the pain.

'Are you stabbed?'

Looking at the sword in Ark's hand, Yonas thought. But when he recalled how weak his sister and Vadim had lost one eye because of him, he gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll take the second exam!"

"As I expected. You're a real man."

Ark walked towards Yonas, stopping in front of the man with a flat expression on his face.

"Stand tight."

Hearing Ark's words, Yonas stood firm.

"Countdown, Jay."

After saying that, Ark closed his eyes. Unconsciously anyone but himself, the index and middle fingers on his right hand were coated in such a faint blue energy.

Jay immediately counted down. Hearing that, Ark tapped lightly right in the middle of Yonas forehead with both of his fingers earlier. Then, he opened his eyes and took two steps back.

Everyone looks confused. Even Yonas was confused. Suddenly, though ...

Yonas head suddenly buzzed. The pain immediately hit his head. The man felt, his brain was shaken strongly.

Looking towards Yonas who changed his expression, Ark looked indifferent. Even if it seemed trivial, the technique he used was actually very difficult to learn.

As a side effect, the person's head immediately felt hit by a sledgehammer. In fact, the principle is similar to a flashbang that uses surprise to attack the opponent's senses. However, instead of attacking the senses, this technique was a torture technique to attack his opponent's brain with shock waves.

Not deadly, but very painful!

Standing in place, the seven holes in Jonas' head began to bleed. Blood started flowing from the nose, mouth, ears, even eyes.

The man looked unsteady, but still gritted his teeth to continue standing.

What happened to Yonas clearly shocked the people who were watching it. They clearly saw that Ark was just lightly tapping on Yonas' forehead. It was truly unexpected that it would have such an impact!

"Ten, nine, eight ..."

"Three, two, one."

When the count was complete, Ark took two steps forward and restrained Yonas body which suddenly fell.

Glancing at the trembling Yonas, Ark said in a flat tone.

"Holding back such a strong headache with just determination, you are really attractive, Yonas.

Congratuations. You, your sister, and Vadim graduated to become temporary members of the Sword of Sufferings."

Hearing Ark's words, Yonas who felt already very dizzy from exhaustion after fighting and was struck by Ark's attack finally lost his consciousness.

Ark himself looked at Jay and said.

"Take your sword and help me get it inside, Jay."

"Tsk! Again I."

Jay complains, but still does what his best friend asks.

Ark turned his gaze to Darin, Shani, and Vadim.

"You guys are in too. Although not yet fully accepted as a core member, but ..."

Ark smiled lightly.

"Welcome to the Sword of Sufferings."

***

That night, in the Sword of Sufferings headquarters.

On the back porch of the spacious house, eleven people sat together around the various dishes in the middle. Yep. Rather than eating politely at a table and looking formal, they sat on the floor and dined together. It looks more familiar.

Ark sat back down. Nathan and Nala are on their left and right sides. The two children looked close to him knowing that the man was actually very kind. Natasha sat down near Nathan and Abigail sat down near Nala.

Stacy sat next to Natasha, completely unconcerned about the scenery around her.

Jay sat near Abigail, while Darin sat nearby. The three new members, Yonas, Shani, and Vadim sit opposite Ark.

Gazing towards the Ark, Yonas somewhat hesitantly asked.

"Mr Ark, are they ... your daughters?"

Hearing the question, Abigail's ears turned red. Meanwhile, Natasha looked at the figure of her sister-in-law with a complicated expression.

Ignoring the question, Ark began to split up the meat soup and some baked potatoes. After dividing into eleven evenly, he took out a glass of water then said.

"They are Yonas, Shani, and Vadim.

Although it is not a big party, I hope that from today on, the Sword of Sufferings can welcome a new family in this way. Maybe the longer it takes, the better it's gonna be."

Ark stared at the rest of his group.

"As the head of the Sword of Sufferings group, I will always remind you. When you joined this group, for me, you were part of my family.

Never betray your family. In this ugly and cruel world, we must unite and take care of each other.

That'sthat's all. Happy eating!"

Ark lifted the glass and drank a little water before putting it down. After that, he started eating. Older members do the same.

Meanwhile, Yonas, Shani, and Vadim are shocked. Back then, they knew the reason why Darin insisted on going back even when he often complained about the cruelty of his chairman. Mimicking what Ark was doing, they also ate.

Somehow, while eating those simple dishes, the three of them felt the warmth they had assumed was gone.

Thus, three new members were officially added to the Sword of Sufferings!
