Talentless Extra Of The Legendary Hero Academy-Chapter 169: Fck

But then his heart went firm and cold.

’...it’s not about casting chains on others... it’s about me! Everything is about me! How will being more open with them benefit me? What’s the drawback?..’

His teammates watched him as Severin took his time.

’...first, being open with them will benefit me in the way they would be more loyal and easy to use. They’ll also be able to keep a tight look on all the opponents and won’t be caught unaware...’

’...What’s the drawback? It’s easier being a lone wolf than joining the pack. If one of them gets captured and interrogated, then it might cause me trouble...’

Severin weighed the options quietly. Which one would ensure his survival?

’...if they don’t know my enemies well, or have a reason to fight them, then it’s useless. The drawback could be managed by giving tight control on what type of information I tell them... humans are creatures of emotions... alright...’

’...besides, my enemies could twist information against me to them and they would start to doubt since I don’t tell them anything...’

Severin took a deep breath. The pain behind his eyes was fading into a dull throbbing. "Let me start from Sector Delta. It was Darius Faulkner that sent me, but that was only because he wanted to use me for sacrifice to a monster inside there."

Julius adjusted his glasses. "Although the Sector Delta was said to be an old research and the reason it was sealed off was because there’s some kind of Etherion plague?

"If it’s monsters, can’t the Empire wipe them out?"

Severin looked at him flatly. "The monster is one of the Aberrant Singularity generals."

"Oh, so it’s one of the ge..." Julius went very still.

He wasn’t the only one, as everyone stiffened. Ethan looked as if he wasn’t sure he wanted to hear what Severin was hiding after all. Serena and Celia opened their mouths in shock.

And Derrick physically took a step away from Severin.

Severin smiled. "Me and Darius had... an enmity between us before we met at the Academy. In fact, it was him that took me away from the street and brought me to the Academy."

"Wait... wait!" Derrick looked at him with wide eyes. "The Head Instructor personally brought you to the Academy? Is he like your guardian or what?"

Derrick was thinking about all the times he had bullied Severin, and he shivered at the thought.

"No. He’s not my guardian. He wanted to kill me. Listen..."

And so he told them briefly about the Obsidian Bleed and what they did to him and others, and what one branch of the Obsidian Bleed wanted with the monster locked away at Sector Delta.

He touched on Dolor and what happened in Sector Delta, but he didn’t tell them about the memories he gained and his own memories, nor did he go into specifics about his powers. Those things were simply too tied up with his survival.

"...now, Darius Faulkner wanted to take that power from me," he concluded.

His teammates stared at him with different displays of emotions, but all of them showed shock.

What??

They couldn’t believe their ears. Severin went from a mysterious person to a mysterious monster in the blink of an eye. They all sat in silence.

All their previous outrage about Severin not carrying them along leaked away from them as if it never existed. Some of them shuddered and wished they hadn’t been told.

Aberrant Singularity general? That’s what is behind the system? They couldn’t believe themselves.

Julius swallowed. "Well, I... how are you carrying all this with you all this while? What are you going to do? How can you handle all of this?"

Severin raised his brows. "Handle? We are here in Isolde Dusk to take care of things."

"What do you mean?" Ethan asked in a tight voice.

"We are going to get the suicide assassin squad for fighting."

"You’re going to fight the Obsidian Bleed?"

Severin revealed a smile. "No. That’s too much for me to bite. I’m going to use it to fight Darius Faulkner."

"You’re going to kill the Head Instructor?" Serena asked in shock.

"Of course. He represents the branch of the Obsidian Bleed that wanted me. And he’s the most active. I’m going to kill him and then use that as bait to lure in more enemies," Severin said in a calm tone.

His members exchanged looks. They didn’t know how to react. And they were thinking—maybe they shouldn’t have asked him anything?

They’d all done a lot of things, but none of them could say they’ve tried killing one of their Instructors before. In fact, it was the first time all of them had ever been involved in speaking about assassinating someone so high up.

"Can’t we report to the government?" Celia asked.

Julius adjusted his glasses and sighed. "This is complicated. From what Severin said and the fact that we are in Isolde Dusk, that means that the person behind Darius Faulkner has an extraordinary amount of power and influence that covers the whole Empire."

There was a moment of silence.

Then Derrick was the first to snort coldly and shook his head. "Fuck."

Ethan backed away. "Wait... are you saying...?"

Even the two, Serena and Celia, who were the last to understand, flinched.

Severin tensed slightly, and his inside trembled with pain. The power was still there, but his body could hardly handle it. But he was ready to call it again if he needed to.

If they backed out of the secret they so wanted.

That was also one of the drawbacks. What if they didn’t want to be part of everything after he told them?

There was only one thing Severin could do then.

Were they going to back out and threaten his life? Because that would be a threat to his survival if they backed out after hearing the secrets.

Julius sighed. "I know the Commander is the Emperor’s agent. I should have known nothing about you is that easy, Severin Reignhart. Nothing is ever simple when it comes to you."

Severin smiled, but it was with coldness.

He waited for their decision, after which, he would carry out his own as well.
