Gaju - One

Chapter 97 - Comfortable Zone

After darkness envelops where Gaju enjoys the twilight, he decides to return home.

Yeah, home.

Gaju and Tian decide to use the cave used by Griffin to become their headquarters. Moreover, a year after the Third Stage began, Gaju and Tian also realized that as time went by, the points were no longer as valuable as before.

Some special items are also no longer available in the list of items given by the Island, such as Intelligence Armor, Undying Implant and others.

Now, points are only used to buy the necessities of life that are luxurious and everyday. That's why they call goa home. Because they did make the cave a comfortable place to stay.

During these three years, Gaju and Tian also met and fought with other Candidates several times. The lunge of the two of them was also already known by all the Candidates on the Island.

Gaju fights by relying on his brutal and frontal style, earning him the nickname North Demon by fellow Candidates. While Tian was like a Goddess who would gracefully and gracefully move her hands and cause all her enemies to fly in all directions with her mental energy. North Angel is the nickname given to Tian.

A unique couple, a brutal fighter and a beautiful psychic like an angel. They were considered as the King and Queen who controlled the northern region of the Island.

In the West, a fighter who uses the red Armor and until this second is believed to be the strongest Candidate, spread his terror. A Candidate who would casually stand up and let the enemies in front of him attack with all his might without moving and shaking.

That fighter was Gama with his Intelligence Armor.

In fact, a year ago, the most shocking news on the Island spread quickly among the Candidates that only 18 people were left with.

Gama defeated Tsagaan Bar.

Two years after the Third Stage began, almost all Candidates had encountered two other races inhabiting the Island, the Elves and the Beastmen.

Elves inhabited the Northeast, while Beastmen were the Northwest. With their army of dozens of level 3 fighters, not all Candidates dared to enter their territory. Surely that rule did not apply to the Monster Candidates.

As time went on, Candidates also often experienced fights with both races. They are getting to know their character and the fighting style of each race. Because that was the initial purpose of the Professor preparing and releasing them to the Island. To make the prisoners as a whetstone for his students.

Therefore, they all knew how formidable the fighters of the Elf race and the Beastmen were.

When Gama conquered Tsagaan Bar, all the Candidates were stunned. Tsa is the leader of the Beastmen race. Although he was not a normative leader and governed his race in the Northwest, but in actuality, Tsa was the strongest fighter of the Beastmen race on the Island.

Therefore, when Gama succeeded in conquering Tsa, everyone came to the conclusion that the Negro with the Red Armor against him was the strongest Candidate on the Island.

A small number of Candidates were indeed envious of what Gama had done, not that he had only relied on his Armor to reach his current position. Especially with Gama's physical abilities are below average. They can also be like Gama if they have the Armor.

Until finally they only enjoyed the luxurious life they now live under the protection of the Koga wing.

Gama was a lunatic.

He always acted like an emotionally unstable madman. Sometimes laughing, a moment later he would cry, then he would smile sadly a short time later. Gama's brain and mind were too beautiful and brilliant to be followed by a normal person.

Especially after he had obtained his Armor. Gama changed. He became a fighter who truly resembled a war god. Without thinking, without asking, directly lunged towards his enemy confidently and fearlessly.

West Lunatic, the nickname Gama received for his football.

Just like Gaju, Tian, and Gama, Koga and Koma also each earned nicknames after many years of the Third Stage commencing. Koga is nicknamed the South King, while Koma is the East Shadow.

On the North Island, controlled by the North Demon and Angel couple, the West Island is ruled by the West Lunatic, the East by the East Shadow and the South by the South King.

In addition to the four monsters, there is still Songlan who is Koga's former right-hand man and now moves indeterminate directions on the Island. And two groups of Elves and Beastmen who just stayed in his area without moving too far. As if you want to see what the human–man is doing.

With declining usability points after several years of the Third Stage began, after they were unsuccessful or did not find any more useful items to increase their strength. Candidates use the points they earn just like Gaju and Tian, fulfilling the luxury living needs they might get.

Because of the changing living conditions, from those that were originally full of fights and struggles, now turn to natural life and walk as it is. With all the luxurious needs they could get and never even the Candidates had enjoyed before, the Candidates seemed lost and most of them began to lose the spirit to practice and strengthen themselves.

This was the second part of the Third Stage that was indeed intentional by the Professor.

The first part of the Third Stage is struggle, survival, and benefit. The second part, however, contained a longer and more difficult test. It is very difficult even for Candidates. This second part tests the spirit and consistency.

When we are faced with danger, when our salvation is threatened, when we are in trouble, we will have a tremendous fighting spirit.

But, when we are comfortable, full of luxury, feel safe and without threats, will we still have the same fighting spirit and fight?

That is the most important goal the Professor wants to achieve.

Because, even before he fought all the races that existed on the Surface, he was already exhausted and lost the limit of patience when dealing with the humans themselves.

People who are comfortable with what they have. Humans who feel that life in the Underworld is not worth risking for a dream to return to the Surface.

People who are trapped in their comfort zone and lose their fighting spirit.
