Reform 1
To fight against Predators who use Field Combat, Garen did not have much of a plan as well. If they were to fight upfront, they definitely did not stand a chance.
So he thought of training the underlings such as East Perrin and more. After all, they were still the elites of Leo Town. Leo Town was still considered as one of the safer regions in the radiation belt. Before they entered, everyone was required to go through an elimination before they entered the town. They had also experience brutal war, fighting against the Predators. The fact that they did not die upon the claws of the Stealth Predators proved that their combat skills were still decent.
Especially East Perrin and Sinno; if Garen was not mistaken, East Perrin was able to achieve Level Three Willpower even with just little training in the radiation belt. Whereas Sinno was able to finish such a cruel quest with just Level One Willpower. To become the strongest combat warrior in Leo Town was not easy at all.
East Perrin was probably extremely gifted in the area of Willpower. All she needed was a little spark to ignite her hidden potential.
As for Sinno, he should personally find out how it is possible for her to be this powerful.
At this moment, Garen wanted to enter the special ability space to work so that he could earn enough Spar Stones to purchase a flying Energy Mechanist Imprint. Now that he had the sufficient energy machinery skills, along with a little more training in Mincar to produce more functional energy machines, he should be able to raise his pay.
As long as he did not showcase too much talent, just a little bit, he should be fine.
"Alright, that's all for now. Sinno, your case is different from East Perrin, come along with me," Garen got up and walk towards the ground three basement.
Sinno cast a glance at Fanny who nodded to her, then followed quickly behind Garen.
Sinno was petite, her black hair draped over her shoulders like a shawl, nearly covering her entire face including the horrible scars. She was still wearing her clothes from before, her chest wrapped several times with simple white bandages. She was wearing an extremely thin pair of black shorts which displayed her slim and pale thighs which were full of scars. Although she seemed petite and adorable, her delicate proportions were slender yet full.
After the both of them left, Fanny looked at Malone suggestively in which he also returned the same look.
"Since when did the both of you started having such intense passion!?" East Perrin, who was by their side showed a nauseated expression.
She held up the small booklet of training methods and simply flipped through the pages. Immediately, she stood up. Even her arms were slightly trembling.
"This… This!!"
"What is it?" Malone asked with a frown, but he had sort of guessed the possibilities already.
The others were shocked by East Perrin's action.
"This is the minimum superior level of the training methods! And it's complete!" East Perrin took a deep breath and looked up to the others around her.
Hiss…
The crowd was instantly speechless.
Training methods retrieved from the radiation belt were mostly incomplete, some of them were even wrong. People from the domain were not allowed to pass on techniques to the radioactive people; that was a rule in which everyone obeyed by. After all, if the rule was ever violated, the region that leaked out the method would swarm out in full force to get rid of the radioactive people who might be practicing the training method. There had been a few cases in history and they always ended up with the annihilation of the radioactive people who practice it.
"It's different now…" All the bystanders had nearly experienced death once, they were braver than the ordinary bunch. They did not bother about the catastrophe that might be caused by this certain training method. However, they were surprised by the hope and force that it would bring!
"You're right, it is different now." A middle-aged woman approached East Perrin and picked up the booklet from her hands. The woman was reading it cautiously as if it was the most precious treasure in the universe.
Nobody knew the amount of luck and bloodshed needed to acquire a decent training method in the radiation belt, which would not even be completed. However, the training method right in front of them right now was a superior leveled method which meant that there would at least be five levels of training methods. This was something only the military and the elites could get in the region!
If this was to be leaked out, perhaps the entire population of radioactive people of the radiation belt, except for the Underground Rebel Army, would go insane. This was something so valuable!
The middle-aged woman was shaking violently.
Suddenly, she screamed.
"There's even the Pure Willpower Application Skill!!? Oh my God!"
"What!?" The smile on Malone's face froze instantly. He expected Garen to be generous, but he did not expect Garen to be overly generous.
East Perrin was the one who gave the biggest reaction. For her to be able to reach Level Three merely by practicing through her broken training method was considered a close enough miracle. If it was not for her past few near-death experiences, she would not have accomplished it. However, her Willpower was born with a defect as well, which lack of activeness than the average person. Besides that, her body was lacking increment, so she was unable to carry out Willpower training and the usage of Willpower Attack to detach purely from a Mech. Aside from being able to defend herself from high-level Willpower attacks, as well as piloting a Mech with super speed and power, her Level Three Willpower brought her prestige and a healthy physique.
Now that she had the complete training method in addition to the Pure Willpower Usage Skill, all she needed was some time to rebuild herself, to convert all her Willpower into this training method's Willpower. With that, she would be able to transform from a Pilot, who could be easily defeated by a Level One Willpower combat powerhouse like Garen into a powerful Level Three Pilot. East Perrin understood clearly how compelling the power of the pure Willpower attack. With just one attack, those ranked below Level Three Willpower with slightly weaker physiques would fall easily at the impact of the Willpower cells. They would be severely injured within seconds with no power of resistance. This would be purely inhibition only. They would stand no chance at all.
"Copy this at once and I want each of you to memorize this. Then destroy it on the spot! This cannot be leaked out or we will be in deep trouble!" Malone recovered from his initial shock. Although a complete superior training method was not something the Underground Rebel Army would be interested in, the Pure Willpower Usage Skill was the confidential core skill that they stressed on. If the army was to find out that they had their hands on something like this, needless to say, the army would kill countless of lives just so they do not lose their advantage.
Several people thought of this and became nervous. However, they swiftly started to get papers to copy it down in silence.
"Mr Garen, what kind of person are you? Why were you forced to hide in the missile compartment of a Mech? You're such a powerful mysterious person. What kind of enemy would cause a mighty person as you to escape from the region?" Waves of confusion flooded East Perrin's mind.
"Stop overthinking," Malone said softly. "We are now Mr Garen's strength, his blade, and his sword! Let's all grow stronger and move forward together. The stronger we are, the stronger Mr Garen gets!"
East Perrin nodded firmly. Looking at the others around her, they might all have different thoughts, but right now they were all a strength that was strongly bound together. Perhaps some of them had goals of their own, and some of them were satisfying their egos to become stronger. Take the two children as an example, they even had the thought of seeking revenge on the Predators to become stronger. However, it was undeniable that they viewed Garen as their leader and had their hearts focused on him. The reformation and Parasitism that their bodies went through, the strong glimmer of hope they had in their hands, it was all given by Garen.
"Everyone, let's work harder and become stronger!" East Perrin had a thousand words in her mind but she did not know where to start but in the end, everything came down to this one sentence.
The two children nodded heavily with a hint of sparkle in their eyes.
The middle-aged woman bit her lips lightly. She seemed to be recalling some painful memories, her expression filled with hatred.
The young man held his fist tight, a look of fierce ambition in his eyes.
Fanny remained silent and watched East Perrin. He used to have an adorable girl, but unfortunately, she was taken away by someone from the radiation belt. Now that he had the strength and a newfound hope, he would be able to find his daughter…
Everyone had their own desires, including East Perrin. Her goal was to protect everyone, to rebuild a safe environment like Leo Town so that everyone could live peacefully without worries. This was her number one goal, but everything seemed to have changed. After the Predators destroyed her home, she should be loathing the Predators and aim to seek vengeance, but the first thing she could think of was Garen's lonely and exhausted back.
In all her life, this was the very first time a sight of someone's mere shadow was enough to accelerate her heartbeat, to make her eager to help.
"Yes, I will become stronger. I will catch up with his footsteps and be strong enough to help him!"
She told herself firmly in her heart.
*******************
Ground Three Basement
Garen stood by the biochemical pool, staring quietly into the green sticky water. Behind him stood a curious Sinno.
She did not understand why Garen wanted to speak to her alone.
If he wanted to sleep with her, East Perrin had a much more beautiful body and she even took the initiative, but she had been rejected several times, everyone knew. So sleeping with her should be out of the way.
"Don't think too much." Garen said lightly, "I brought you here only because I have one question for you."
"What question? Just ask." Sinno straightened up, getting skittish because of the freaky Frankenstein environment.
"I heard you've been training on the basic training method for several years now, yet you still can't produce more Willpower?" Garen asked softly.
"Yes." Sinno nodded, "But I can still become stronger even without Willpower!" She answered tentatively.
