Chapter 174 Battlefield
He has heard that Brick took all the existing IQ tests and his scores were all in the range of two hundred fifty-one to two hundred sixty-five. Of course, IQ tests can't really measure intelligence, but it was still a good estimate of one's ability to see patterns, comprehension, and logical reasoning.
Fein wondered how he would fare with an IQ test... But he was aware that he was just an average joe that only became intelligent thanks to his ability that enhanced his analytical talent and memory talent.
"I know you can answer it quickly." Fein decided to compliment him.
Brick rolled his eyes at him, "Bastard, don't fool me."
"hehe... Well, I'm gonna excuse myself first." Fein stood up from the ground and looked at Brick. "You have to stay here and work overnight."
"Motherf*cker! do you doubt my work ethics!?" Brick snorted, "While you on the other hand just enjoying your time." He sighed aggrievedly.
"F*ck you! I already told you that I'm focused currently on my training." The corner of Fein's mouth twitched lightly. "And why in the name of G*d are you making that shitty face!" He looked at Brick's aggrieved and it almost made him want to vomit.
"Hehe..." Brick's aggrieved face turned serious. "Well, you scram in front of me please! Don't worry, I would finish all the work tonight."
Fein smiled at seeing his reliable partner. Although they always bickered and cursed each other at every turn they can, it's just a sign of the two of them getting along with each other.
"That's good then." He said.
Fein removed his laboratory clothes. Then he stores the other essential things in his storage space.
...
Just like that, Fein finished his daily physical training. He managed to increase the gravity to three hundred and forty-one times.
He sat on the ground, he struggled to breathe due to the thin oxygen in the place. Fein took out a red potion in his storage space to replenish his physical energy.
'I still have to buy suitable clothes for Michael's birthday.'
Fein decided to buy it after he rests. After all, every clothes in his cabinet were all black. It's quite unsightly to dress like his usual fashion at a birthday party. He might scare the guests. It would be pretty eye-catching, and he doesn't want to take the spotlight from Michael.
Fein stood up on the ground and went to the spot where he usually absorbs sunlight. He had changed the arrangement of his training schedule. In his training schedule he would do physical training first, then followed by sunbathe. Because absorbing the energy of sunlight can heal his injuries, which would double the efficiency of his recovery.
Fein sat crossed-legged on the ground. The area around Fein started to dim until the surroundings became completely dark as his body started to greedily absorb the sunlight. He closed his eyes as he started to enjoy the regenerative properties of the sunlight in his body.
'This is literally a five-star massage!' Fein felt that he could fall asleep at any time due to the relaxing feeling it gave him. It was as if he was back in his mother's embrace.
Two hours passed, and after absorbing enough sunlight, Fein opened his eyes as he heard the sound of people scolding each other.
Although it was hundreds of meters away he could hear it with his enhanced hearing.
'Damn, It sounds like they would eat each other' Fein could determine that a battle was about to ensue near his area.
Fein stood up in his position he stretched his stiff legs. He looked in the direction with his sharp eyes, he channeled all his strength into his leg.
*BOOM!*
Half of the mountain under his feet disappeared. Fein broke the sound barrier with his instant acceleration.
Just like that, Fein appeared and disappeared like a phantom. With every step, his speed became faster and faster...
As Fein got nearer, he could hear numerous sounds of footsteps.
Now he was sure that it was not a simple battle but a war!
'How come they chose this place!?'
Fein didn't really want to meddle with other people's business. But now, he had become bored with the pace of his life... Train, eat, and research. And he wasn't afraid at all, he could already determine the aura of the people in the distance, and only one notable person could let him pay attention.
'There's an A rank peak among them.' Fein squinted his eyes as he stepped to a thin branch of the tree without breaking it.
He leaped on the peak of the highest tree with all his strength.
Fein immediately balance his body and shifted his gaze in front of him. With his strong eyesight he could see hundreds of enemies encircling a group of people, and in the middle of them stood a woman with robust bearing and a strong aura. She held a golden rapier in her hands. She wore a hood concealing her face, but her posture and movements is that of a woman.
'It seems they are cornered.' Fein gulped.
The scene looks like something that came out of the movies. The woman leading them just looked at the enemies without expression.
Fein stared at the people that rode a horse while holding a different kinds of weapons in their arms. They raised their arms as if they could already see the victory in their eyes.
Fein just stared at the intense battlefield, rain of arrows, and an ocean of blood that flooded the battlefield.
He took a deep breath, 'should I help them?'
But he quickly shook his head. He didn't even know which side was right or wrong. And he's just here to watch how cruel war is with his own eyes. Suddenly he heard the woman shout something and pierced the ground with her weapon.
Fein feels a sudden spike of degu energy with his acute perception. He couldn't help but squint his eyes as he could feel a certain ominous element on the degu energy of the woman.
