Gaju - One
Chapter 59 - Anomalies
Gaju moves quickly between the trees. He went down the slopes of the Mountain and headed south, the direction where the complex was located.
Previously, there were two options for Gaju, moving up the Mountain or down the Mountain. But Gaju chose the second option for a simple reason, he guessed that at the top of the Mountain dwells powerful creatures that are beyond his current range.
According to the legend, just like Griffin, the Dragon also liked the place high above the Mountain to nest. And if the level 3 creature really exists, Gaju suspects that the Island is able to create the mystical animal.
Especially after seeing the items out of his mind as he saw in the list of items from his mini computer. Gaju is increasingly convinced that the Island has the ability to do that.
Now, Gaju also began to suspect that the Island was not created and initiated by an organization. The resources needed to create and create all the items and creations on the Island would not be possible with the capabilities of an ordinary organization.
At least there must be a state-class entity behind the Island, or even several countries that cooperate and create this Island.
Then, why do they need super soldiers with all such special abilities?
After the Candidates had made it through the inhumane training period on this Island, what should they do?
What is the maximum amount of quota that the island wants to produce?
There were so many unanswered questions in Gaju's little head, even with all the knowledge he had.
Moreover, from the first Gaju has realized that this island is also an anomaly.
Gaju once tried to find the location of this Island by using all the help of Geography knowledge that he could find from the Library of the Complex and the results.
Zero large.
Until this moment, Gaju could not know where the existence of this mysterious Island.
Gaju has also tried to create his own vision aids called 'telescopes' simple with the help of makeshift tools in the Workshop.
He scanned every corner of the Island and pointed his telescope at the sea. After hundreds, even thousands of times trying, Gaju never once saw any object in the vastness of the sea. No other animals, birds, ships or islands.
Gaju has also used another method, namely with constellations, but the results are also nil. As if, the Island is always moving if Gaju uses the constellation benchmark to determine the location of the actual Island.
Gaju also tried to find out where the Managers came and went from. Because other than Professor, all Managers are different people every time he interacts with them.
Including all supplies of their daily needs such as food, drinks, medicines.
Where did they come from and be sent?
Is it from the sea by boat?
Is it from the air by plane?
And of all the strangeness that Gaju has observed in the past, the most absurd is that there has never been any significant climate change on the Island in the past.
No spring, summer, autumn or winter characterizes the subtropical areas. There is also no rainy season or dry season that characterizes tropical areas.
It is as if the Island is located in a giant greenhouse and with controlled climatic conditions and remains all year round. A crazy and impossible idea but it makes the most sense for Gaju.
Until finally, Gaju gave up and understood all the strangeness of this mysterious Island and kept it. Until he has a chance to get the answer.

Booommm.
An Earth Tiger was thrown backwards after being hit by Gaju's punch.
Gaju darted closer to the Earth Tiger which was plain brown and had no motive at all on his body.
Unlike his cousin the Tree Tiger who belonged to the level 4 category, the Earth Tiger was an ordinary ferocious beast that was only categorized as a level 5 creature. Worth as much as 1 point for Gaju.
No matter how small, points are points.
"Rroooooaaaaaaarrrrr," the Tiger roared loudly while trying to stand with a limp body.
"Sorry," whispered Gaju softly as he swung his fist to hit the Earth Tiger's head.
Kraaaaakkkk.
Horrifying sounds rang out from the head of the Tiger whose body crashed into the ground violently and a red liquid mixed with a hint of white color spread out around the two of them.
Gaju took a deep breath and brought the bracelet on his right hand closer to the lifeless body of the Tiger.
Beeping.
A small notification sound was heard from Gaju's bracelet and a number was seen flashing on his computer's mini-screen. The number 143 that was there blinked once and turned into the number 144.
"Huft," Gaju took a slow breath and disappeared from the place.
This is his sixth hunt since this morning and everything is level 5, giving him an additional 6 points and making his points increase from 138 to 144 points.

"Songlan, look at that!!" shouted Tutu, the leader of the Attack Team to Songlan.
Songlan who heard Tutu's cry immediately jumped up and approached.
"There," said Tutu while pointing towards his left.
Songlan looked in the direction Tutu pointed at and then frowned. But, without waiting for Tutu, Songlan darted in that direction.
Tutu gestured for his two men to move following Vice Leader Tim Koga.
A few seconds later, the four of them were already standing next to a corpse of a lying Earth Tiger covered in blood.
"Sadu, check," Tutu orders one of his men.
Sadu who was summoned by Tutu quickly approached and crouched down near the carcass of the Earth Tiger.
Sadu is the smartest of the four. He has IC 2.7, well above Songlan, Tutu, and Duma who have the same score for their IC score, which is 2.3 points.
Sadu smiled at his soulmate and Attack team leader, Tutu, "This Earth Tiger carcass, still warm, predicted the time of death no more than 1 hour ago."
"Death is caused by the blow of a blunt object to the head which results in the bones of the head rupture. Maybe with a hand blow" Sadu continued.
Songlan and Tutu nodded their heads.
"Style?" ask Tutu.
"Perhaps," Songlan replied with a big laugh.
"Finally, I found you" he continued.
He was not so worried about Gaju's ability, because he himself could also crush the head of a Earth Tiger or another level 5 creature with his fist. Just like the carcass of the animal that was now in front of them.
"Where's our hunt?" songlan asked towards Sadu.
The only woman on this team who also has the expertise as a tracker who is able to read and track their hunting trail.
