The Bloodline System Chapter 379
Advertisement
Three more groups of flying birds appeared on the southwest, west, and east sides of the sky.
Gustav quickly picked up more of the cubes, causing them to transform into spears before throwing them upwards with speed.
Puchi! Puch! Puchi!
The spears flew upwards with speed and stabbed into the bird with a different color in the midst of the flying birds one after the other.
The score on the projected scoreboard began to increase in number as the spears stabbed into the birds.
The group of birds appearing in the sky one after the other began to move at a faster speed as time passed, and the bird with a different color in their midst became harder to spot.
However, Gustav was able to easily pinpoint them using God Eyes. The next issue would be your throwing speed and accuracy.
If a person was fast enough with good arm strength and accuracy, they'd still be able to hit the birds regardless of the speed of the group.
And with each targeted bird shot down, speed increased, making the difficulty of the game harder.
It was like a game, and a person's data and scores were recorded to check out their improvement and make comparisons every time they came to try it out.
In the camp right now, this particular training was regarded as a game, and cadets used it to compete against one another.
The person said to have the highest recorded score was a cadet whose bloodline gave him super arms.
His score had reached as high as three thousand on the first try when other cadets were unable to go beyond eight hundred to a thousand before he lost and had to start again.
Of course, this cadet being hailed as the best in this game/training had bragged about his score, unlike special class cadets who didn't mention anything whenever they came here to train.

Due to this, no one really knew if his highest score right now was more than theirs or not.
Gustav kept picking up the cubes with immense speed and throwing them up after they had transformed into spears.
In the next thirty minutes, he was moving like a blur, and the group of birds in the sky that appeared after the last set were now a staggering amount of two hundred and thirty.
[Dash has been activated]
Gustav grabbed onto seven cubes at a time in his right and left palms before throwing them up.
Troooiinnn!
Fourteen blueish glowing spears appeared in mid-air surrounding his entire figure.
Due to his increase in speed, everything has slowed down in motion, including the birds in the sky and the spears surrounding him.
Gustav zoomed in with God Eyes on different spots above and noted the locations of several birds with different colors from the group.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
His palm slammed into the butt of three spears in front, sending them flying upwards.
He didn't waste a moment extra before spinning around and throwing his leg towards the butt of several spears, sending them into different directions in the sky.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
In a manner of two seconds, all fourteen spears were hit and travelled through the air before piercing through the birds he noted earlier.
Gustav had grabbed more cubes and threw more spears upwards.
He turned his head towards the back with speed as he noticed the last group and the bird with a different color within their midst.
Even though Gustav had been very fast, these birds were already fading away, which meant he would fail to get the unique colored bird in their midst if they faded away completely.
Bam!
Gustav slammed his foot on the ground, causing one of the cubes to bounce upwards.

[Sprint Has Been Activated]
The instant the cube started floating in the air, he activated sprint, grabbed onto it with intense speed before throwing it upwards with force.
The cubes were still in the process of transformation when they flew out of his grip.
It completely transformed into a spear-like the rest while flying across the air and stabbed through the differently colored bird before the group faded.
Troooiinnn!
The group of birds in the air all disappeared an instant later.
Beep!
"Twelve thousand eight hundred points,"
"Stage one complete,"
The AI voiced out.
"Hmm?" Gustav had a confounded look on his face as he heard that and turned to stare at the scoreboard.
"Initializing Stage Two,"
"Initialization Complete,"
"Does player wish to continue to stage two?"
"Advised to achieve the Gilberk rank before resuming,"
The AI voiced out in successions.
"Oh so there were different stages..." Gustav voiced out with a look of realisation.
What he didn't know was the senior cadets also did this type of personal training, and they set higher stages since they were already beyond stage one.
No first cadet had gotten to this point yet, which was why Gustav hadn't heard about it yet.
One would be reluctant after seeing that it was advised to be at the Gilberk rank. Still, Gustav totally overlooked that and proceeded to give the go-ahead to start stage two.

Bam! Bam! Bam!
In a small space with dark floors and a human-shaped board protruding out of the ground, a kid with black curly hair repeatedly sent out attacks towards the board.
Heavy kicks to the throat, chest, and gut area.
His legs were already red due to hitting over and over again, but he continued.
He leaped upwards and spun around before slamming another heavy kick on the head of the humanoid-looking board, causing it to vibrate repeatedly.
His eyes looked fierce as he repeatedly attacked the board over and over and over again.
A man in an orange-colored uniform stood a few meters away from the boy and observed him with a conflicted look.
"That's enough already," He voiced out.
"I'm not done," Endric voiced out with an intense look as he kept attacking.
A person's image came to his head as he repeatedly struck the boar.
"Hyyaahh!" He voiced out and threw another kick.
Bang!
His leg pierced through the chest of the formerly sturdy humanoid-looking board.
'This kid... Sometimes his original strength leaks out of the seal placed on him,' The officer noticed as he started moving forward.
"I said to..." Before he could voice out completely, an opening appeared on the east side of the wall.
Tssshhhhh!
A man in a blue-colored business suit walked in.
Endric and the officer turned to the side to stare at who had just walked in.
"Huh? Sir Yung, what brings you here?" The officer voiced out with a respectful tone.

Touch
Touch is a story about a boy named James, and his friends: a group of young, superpowered people brought together by trauma; all trying, in their own ways, to come to terms with what that trauma means to them and who they want to be in response to it. This is a learning process, and mistakes are made, but they grow, learn, and adapt to these difficulties in ways that some might say only young people can. While it may look it at first, this is not intended as a sad story, merely an honest one. I wanted to make the characters human, and unfortunately, that means that difficulties hit them in very real ways through the story, but then again, they have some equally human moments of warmth between one another as they grow. Triggers: Explores the aftereffects and recovery process of sexual abuse, and some other forms of physical abuse. I like to think I avoided making it edgy, but you deserve to be informed. Some readers have told me that it can feel a bit too real at times. A bit too honest. If you like what you read, feel free to comment or review. I like the feedback. Or you can vote for Touch on TopWebFiction. Touch also now has both a Discord and a Patreon! Updates weekly.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

Falling
It is often unclear when a thing comes to an end, the world itself no exception. In the event of the world ending, it was both abrupt and unnoticed, something down right confusing to most involved. Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context. ... Author’s Note: I intend to release regularly, hopefully weakly, within the planned three arcs. However, it may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended. Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point. This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses. Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity, gore or traumatizing content. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others. Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different. If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations. I have not marked sexual content, since I do not intend to include explicit sexual acts. However, sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject. Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist.
