Chapter 5 - Tranquility to absurdity express (Part 5)

The big rock was rolled over. All the hosting authorities and spectators both were excited to see the unraveling of the result for the game of luck they played. For the first time all high officers at master level of unit 192 were gathered at the same place. Making quite a spectacle for the new recruits excluding the conscripted soldiers as the new recruits were handpicked by the officers themselves. Even among the convicts if anybody can catch an eye of these maniacal hermits for sure they can be considered cream of the crop. Making them a fine lunatic all of them gathered to unleash a lethal chaos in upcoming conquests. The top brass of unit 192 included twelve masters and 2 pseudo zenith masters. The names that caused once waves of terror among the masses were gathered in a unit under the Captain Scald the one who can reign in such walking calamities has to be someone equally or more insane. All of them came in a arrow like formation, the arrowhead was Scald along his right was Pervy killer a pseudo zenith master it was expected as he was old as grandpa who cam to beg in front of tavern. He was a geniune man unlike this psychotic killer. On his left was Hound he too was a zenith master but visibly aged but accompained with fearsome will to kill. He too was an very infamous personality but decades earlier yet the terror of the name Hound remains. The selling factor of this old man who has one foot in grave was his tenacity. He never backed out of fights he was known as unraveled master meaning the one who could disregard realms and commit slaughter while skipping one or two tier of realm. His lores are sung as horror stories for little children who refused to sleep.

On the right side, just after pervy killer 5 figures followed, all five were masters but infront of zenith they seem to have less presence. Even then if they haven't been branded as convicts. They would have relished themselves like some nobility. As their are some free Principalities(type of countries) which propose equality just on surface as its their propoganda to lure the quality people of various other Principalities, Kingdoms, Alliances, Federations,etc. This master level warriors weren't known much but this five warriors escaped from same orphanage due to its inhuman treatment later they burned it. As they were institutional orphans they had numbers as their name Eta(1), seta(2), trolek(3), fico(4) and fusa(5).

Eta, Seta and Fusa were female and Trolek and Fico were male they came under category of anonymous masters. If their skills and power rise further in future they could become hermit masters but right now they are at master level warrior. 

On the right side there was hound. Who was in black tacky outfit which was tailored to him perfectly because when he wears it. Then it no longer remains tacky but instead it becomes domineering. Complimenting his razor sharp dark aura. The person behind Hound was Gnarl the viper who was immediate supervising authority of the test. He is known as viper not because he uses poison its just that along with fist he can be wit warrior too. As he is the only convicted half noble in the camp and he is official spokesperson of the unit. Due to his poison like toungue others can only talk behind back because nobody dares to speak ill of unit 192 in his presence as he can verbally decimate them to puddles of mud. Even Royalty can't pick a fight or find fault with unit 192's conduct. His presence plays a significant role in Scald's promotion to commander status. 

The other 3 people were Zack. His fable name is fallen knight it sounds cool but as a matter of fact it is cool. The reason behind his abrupt halt in his knight career was the fact that current 2nd prince whom he served and the second prince's father in law attempted moral degression on his female adjudant and her mother. As they were monetarily impoverished due to sudden collapse of her father who was father like master to Zack. So without a ounce of hesitation he destroyed a complete county along with count who was 2nd prince's father in law. Zack was granted mercy due to his devoted service to the 2nd prince as he protected Prince from several attempt of assassination. As a result of his blemishless personality he was convicted. Even as a convict he reduced all the immoral lust feinds in the detention to the pile of ash he incenerated them alive. When he went against his master then the 2nd prince by harming his kin to protect his kin. He was nowhere near master level. At that time he was a novice warrior as he excelled in swordplay and war tactics as he was top of his training institute but as he wanted to be a guardian knight of Orachulum empire. He artificially stopped his awakening to further his advancement of aura hall by Holy light induced awakening. But to his nightmare like surprise he was branded as a fallen knight.

As he got stronger just to get back at feinds like Count. He awakened will a more mystical and advanced form of power than aura. The forceful stoping of awakening led to his aura hall expansion now the vast aura hall harbours a power more superior to aura in the form of core which is analogous in function to aura heart. A warrior worthy to be a master, the only insane who is liked by masses the fallen knight Zack. 

Behind him walked Mirror Demonk this person housed 2 personalities within him both were crazy one killed remorsefully and other made playdough out of any breathing fleshbearing life. He doesn't fight he tears them, guts them alive, bite them, dismantle them and other boatload of ways which will question the viewer's sanity and purpose of getting eyes as blessing. At the instance he is Dough playing Demon this personality is named by masses as Sartus the other remorseful killing self's name is Edgar.

All 12 commanding authorities of unit 192 were present. What they saw was a pure horror. The expectations prior to this eventful act was to get atleast five hundred useful dregs after considering error of one thousand three hundred and twenty three. The cave was filled with mounds of flayed flesh and splashes of blood on the wall. A gushing sound was heard which was then assumed to be flow of underground water amidst the scenary which chilled to the marrow to every possible spectator. The new recruits started fainting and fell one by one like arrows falling in battlefield as their underdeveloped selves can't handle this brutal sight. The gushing sound which was assumed as flow of water was a flow of bright red blood which trickled down the pile of corpses. The blood which flowed filled the pits and crevices of the rugged ground floor. Somewhere between the flow of blood.

Thud 

Splash 

Fell a body which still had mass commissioned sword in the hand whose handle has sticked skin of underpalm. The sword was gripped so hard it pulled its weilder's skin but there were no other visible wounds on body. 

I regained my consciousness I was nursed by Pervy killer seeing this I lost my consciousness again as that sight was something to die for. Getting nursed by a pseudo Zenith Master was not on my bucket list as my priority was to survive. A wave of pain hit my brain I remembered the horrors I committed it made my heart heavy and inner self guilty but I knew if I collapsed here I won't be able to survive going forward. 

Slap Slap 

Slapped myself with both hands. It was a way to tell myself to sort myself out soon. 

Pervy killer striked conversation 

How are you ? 

A female voice behind the pristine white mask asked 

At that instance I was more shocked compared to when I committed mass murders. My mind sent mixed commands as I couldn't process that the figure who once collected wein*rs was a female. But now the infamous events which are preached as bible to every boy who was gonna graduate from his celibacy makes more sense . The one who could passionately hate sexual offenders can definitely be a woman. Zack too did similar works but as he once was knight and his image is more bent on heroic side rather than pervert who collects rods and retired after completing collection by collecting a royal rod. As the judgment bestowed by pervy killer is not justified even if the target was a repeated offender. But on the other hand the judgment of Zack becomes justice just by the fact he once was a trainee knight.

After such intense monologue I replied 

My joint hurts but I am fine! What happened to test ? Officer 

Did I pass?

Pervy killer replied while feeling elated as if its her ward that took the test 

Glad to know that u are fine. I nursed u back to life myself. U passed the test with distinction. Now everybody's fighting for you thanks to ur outstanding performance.

My massacre which made me nearly have a panic attack is their outstanding performance. But now I can't even question their eithcal compass as I myself played with blood till it formed a pool.

I questioned 

Do we have time for leisure as the day to attack hobgoblin is nearing ?

She answered 

Don't worry that day came and complete unit 192 went and right now they are competing over who would kill the Hobgoblin Chief as the one who will do it first will be allowed to take you disciple. Personally I think you should pity poor me who couldn't even participate. It's no fair boohoo

(Fake)Snivel snivel sniff!!

I think you should take me as your master as a compensation for unfairness and reward for nursing you. Pretty please 

Her face was still not visible as the voice was coming behind the mask but her voice was so beautiful that even mask can't hide her beauty. Her cute voice already triggered my male Instinct. But suddenly I had reality check if they all knew I am not talented they could purge me under the guise of this reason. As this event could become an example for new recruits. Due to her alluring voice I nearly dug my grave. I replied her 

I am sorry my brain suddenly hurts 

Because Even if I know I am in the wrong but I don't have courage to face this monsters in human skin and then I slept.
