My abilities are Unbeatable
Chapter 11
The next morning, Ling Jiu and the other recruits were brought to the Arcanist Directorate by Instructor Bai Yang as well as the Arcanist company.
The Arcanist Directorate is essentially a government agency that oversees all the Arcanists in Lantian Base City. All Arcanists must register with the directorate and receive oversight from the directorate.
Many arcanists gathered in the square in front of the directorate building, and they chatted with their counterparts from their respective companies.
Among them was an Arcanist who woke up independent and who was rejected from previous years.
In addition, the media is present.
Training and assessment of new recruits is a major event in Lantian Base City every year. The city will be airing the entire event live from start to finish. That shows the importance of the government putting in place the Arcanist recruits who woke up.
The event starts after the clock shows at nine o'clock. It began with a custom opening ceremony, as well as speeches from Arcanist leaders, companies, and representatives. After all, the assessment program began.
The recruits jump into the car, leaving Lantian Base City for the wilderness outside the city.
Ling Jiu was heading into the wilds of this world for the first time. His eyes bulged as he could not help his curiosity.
On both sides of the potholed road were bushes, trees, carcasses, tires, bicycles, bones, and trash. It was in stark contrast to the neat surroundings in the base city.
Looking at all this, Ling Jiu could imagine a picture of the disaster that occurred 30 years ago: The direbeast was on a rampage, while people fled, leaving their cars, public transport, and bicycles in panic.
They finally left their homes.
“Solid world here!”
“I can't believe like this that looks outside the base city!”
“Is that a lake? That's a big . I have never seen such a big lake! Also, endless forests! “
No matter how desolate the wilderness was, there was also something that the base city lacked greatly: natural scenery of lakes, forests, mountains, large trees, fields, and everything else.
The sight left the teenagers who had never left the city base since they were born stunned.
Ling Jiu lamented; compared to the humans in his previous life, the humans in this world lived in compressed space, and the area once inhabited turned silent.
At the same time, the sky also becomes bluer, the water clearer, and the air cleaner. The natural environment is much better now than in previous lives.
“Koin has two sides, so does disaster. Who knows, maybe the disaster was part of Earth's self-protection mechanism? “
Time passed quickly as they looked at everything in awe. An hour later, the group arrived at their destination, Caijiapo County City.
Everybody down.
“See this abandoned city in front of your eyes? This is the City of Caijiapo County, where you will undergo an exam. The Direbeasts had taken over the city, turning it into a Direbeast paradise! “
Director Yang of the Arcanist Directorate spoke through loudspeakers. “Lantian Base City is committed to expanding the city base, and Caijiapo is an important expansion target due to its ideal environment!
“So we have been actively getting rid of the Direbeasts in Caijiapo County City for the past few years and killing all the powerful Direbeasts. What remained was a large number of Class 1 and Class 2 Directorates. That's why we chose this place as the place for the exam!
“Your mission is simple: enter Caijiapo County City, kill the remaining Direbeasts, and gouge out their hearts!
This test will last for three days!
…
The county town was dilapidated, with the dirt and carcasses of the Direbeast filling the streets. Nature has taken back the city, as plants cover shops and tall buildings. It looks almost like a lost city in the movie.
As Ling Jiu walked down the road overgrown with grass and bushes, he could not help but regret the changes that the county town had undergone in just 30 years.
While Ling Jiu was still deep in thought, a gust of strong wind blew behind him. His heart skipped a beat as he swiftly flipped two meters to the side, dodging the attack.
A ferocious beast passed by him and landed on the ground in front of him.
It was a gigantic dog-type Direbeast that was two meters long. It has a mane with needle-like feathers all over its body and four 10-centimeter-long fangs in its mouth.
“One Direbeast Class 1, Sabretooth Dog!”
Ling Jiu immediately recognized him.
In addition to practicing the Bahamut Absorption Technique to absorb the Arcana Genes and control its Arcana for the past six months, he also studied theoretical knowledge about Arcanas and Direbeasts, including how to distinguish its species.
Ling Jiu was confident he could recognize every Direbeast species ever recorded.
The Sabretooth Hound has evolved from a husky, but differs from it in the sense that it is extremely ferocious, aggressive, and fast. Its mouth has a destructive power stronger than that of a lion.
Sabretooth Hound roared as he stared ruthlessly at Ling Jiu before leaping into the air and moving to bite Ling Jiu's throat.
Ling Jiu was very confident that he would have to say goodbye to his head if the Direbeast put his mouth around his neck.
Here goes!
Ling Jiu raised his hand and took the stone from the ground without having to actually touch it. A melon-sized stone was not felt in his hands due to his rapid movements.
He hit the Sabretooth Hound in the mouth, broke some teeth before he lifted the stone again and hit the dog's skull.
Sabretooth Hound roared in pain as the force sent him flying backwards.
“I'm not done with you!”
Ling Jiu stomped his foot on the ground and a large number of ground spikes jutted out from the ground into the body of the Sabretooth Hound.
The dog was silent and not moving. Afraid of pretending to be dead, Ling Jiu smashed his head with a stone.
After which, he took out a knife and gouged out his heart, which he then stuffed into his dimensional pocket.
It is said that dimensional pouches are pouches used by dimensional kangaroos to carry their young. It was roughly a hundred cubic feet in space and was a practical storage space.
However, these gadgets are expensive. Not all Arcanists can afford it. Ling Jiu got this one as a loan from the company. He had to return it after the exam.
“Moving to the next one!”
