《The Gods Summons》Chapter 7 : Mission
Advertisement
The next morning we summoned at the training hall. Now , we are all assembling waiting for Ariel to give her speech.
Ariel : " In three month from here a tournament will be held at the coliseum , it's a event for the strongest warrior who're not in the army to gain fame . We will use that opportunity to judge your progress and strength . So this week will be the last one you will spend with the instructor. Heroes need to gain strength by their own."
Leonardo : " You're kicking us out ?"
Ariel : " Of course not, you're free to use the room that we gave you , and all of your future expense will be financed by us. We're giving you a test to get stronger by yourself and invite you to explore the outside world. "
Crap , I have to learn everything I can in the week , but I don't even know what to do these three months before the tournament !!
*sigh*Let's take one thing at the time.
After a long day of training , I took a shower before heading toward my room. At the room everybody was there already.
Jim : "Ah , Nice timing Mark , we were talking about going out drinking , you in ? "
Mark : " No thanks , I trained too much , I'm tired. "
More like I don't want to hang out with you.
Jim : " You're no fun. Well I least other group will be with us . Lot of girls included. "
Maybe I should have accepted the offer .
Jim : " Well it's time , let's go boys . "
James : " Sorry guy , I feel tired too . So I will stay behind today ."
Jim : " Yeah go sleep together you two . "
Finally Jim and Brian leaved the room, I'm alone with James . I kind of have a bad feeling .

Sitting on the sofa , I was thinking about what Hades said. For my own good ? Does he mean that James want to hurt me ? *sigh* I don't know anymore. But we're alone , I have a window to kill him now .
Can I do it ? I never killed anybody before . I don't feel afraid about killing people , just anxious .
James : " Hey Mark , I'm going to take a shower be right back . "
I just nodded, why did he feel the need to tell me that ? I don't want to know about these kind of things .
[ James Crawford P.O.V ]
After taking a shower and the drugs that Frey gave me. I was ready to accomplish the mission that the god gave me.
Frey is the messenger of the god Tyr , he was sent here to help me vanquish the evil. Yes , my mission is to slaughter all evil and I'm going to start with every person who're blessed by the evil god of death Hades.
And I'm going to start with Mark Sigfrid. My ensure me that he wasn't from Zeus but his brother Hades. The fact he lied to me, prove me he doesn't have any good intention.
James : " Hey , I'm thirsty do you want me to grab you some water too ? "
Mark : " Oh , yes please , thank you ."
On my way toward the cupboard, I took two cup and fill them with waters and putted in one of them my paralysis drugs.
On my to the sofa , I sat across him , not forgetting to give him the cup with the drugs.
Mark : " Thanks."
He didn't drink it yet, he put it on the coffee table.
*toc* *toc* *toc*
That's probably Frey checking on me.
James : " I got it."
Opening the door, it was indeed Frey here . He disguised himself as a guard.

Frey : " Do you need help ? "
James : " No. I need to do this alone , don't come in until I tell you so."
Frey : " Okay, I'll be behind to door if you need me."
Closing the door, I was back on the sofa .
Mark : " Who was it ?"
Maybe if I drink some water he will do the same ?
James : " Oh , just some guard telling me that I forgot something in the bathroom."
It work ! He drank the waters. Now the effect will take place in 5 min.
Mark : " Why don't you go get it back now ? " He have a puzzled look on his face.
James : "Mark , you lied to me."
Mark : " About what ." A confused look .
James : " You're not blessed by Zeus but by his evil brother Hades. I know it because Tyr told me, so no need to lie to me."
Mark : " Evil brother ? He's just a god of death. "
Hmphf , trying to fool me. It's not going to work.
James : " You're evil too , after all why would he choose you . I putted the drugs in your water , in five minute you'll be paralyze."
Mark : " Why would you do that ? I thought we were friends ? Why don't wont you use a deadly poison than paralyze one?" He had a shocked look then a sad one.
James : "I'm no friend with a evil man . And you deserve a painful death. I will cut your throat open and let you bleed to death. I will clear this world and our world of people like you. "
Standing up , I couldn't wait until the drugs take effect. I jumped on him , he dodged and tried to punch me but using one of my spell `counter` I reflected his punch and punched him in return. He casted a explosion of lightning around him but I prepared myself reinforced my body with a another kill. I kicked him so hard he went flying a couple meters away.
He was on the ground , using this occasion I jumped at him and started punching his face .
With my superior strength and agility , it was easy to overpowered him . All I have to do now is to wait until he use all his mana to heal himself.
I was punching for a couple minute now, it seemed like twenty second.
James : " HAHAHAHAHA, I WILL CUT YOU AND EMPTY ALL YOUR BLOOD ON THE FLOOR."
Before I realized , I was already enjoying hurting him. Haaaaaaaaa, It feel so good , purifying the evil is the best feeling I ever feel .
Grabbing his hair, I pulled him up and took the knife that I hide in pants.
Suddenly , I feel like was electrocuted. I felled into the ground and my head glued at the floor.
I body refused to move regardless how much I tried , I noticed that I could still talk.
James : " WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME ? "
Mark : " Phiew , that was close."
His face like new due to his healing magic . He was looking at me a face of pity and disgust.
HE DARE LOOKING ME LIKE THAT.
James : " WHAT DID YOU DO!!!"

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.
