⌜Chapter 62⌟

Kohi is already breathing hard, she could explain what was happening, it was just a sudden difficulty of breathing, she would have thought that she was sick if she didn't see that the others are also the same as her.

"What is happening?"

She could not help but wonder, this has never happened before. It was like it came out when Guild Master Ice closed his eyes. Does he have superpowers? Is he an alien? there was no explanation she could think of.

"You don't have to think so hard"

She felt a pat on her shoulder, she turned her head and saw her boss.

"Hosaka-san, what is happening?"

"I don't think I can explain it but, what you are experiencing now is what is called killing intent, its a spiritual pressure that lets your body and spirit feel fear telling you the danger"

"You mean like those in novels?"

"Yes, something like those, but except that its real this time, but don't get relaxed yet because, Madara's dance haven't started yet"

'Madara's dance?'

Its the first time Kohi have heard that name before.

"Hosaka-san, may I ask who is this Madara?"

"... a monster"

That is all what can Hosaka say as Tanaka finally opened his eyes and the pressure exuding from him became heavier that everyone felt like they were borderline going to faint at any moment now.

Tanaka moved and picked up the katana and slowly unsheathed it, as it slowly left its scabbard, everyone couldn't help but feel their spine turning cold and all of their eyes were fixated on the katana, they felt as if they were going to be cut down.

Tanaka then stopped his hand midway and looked around him. Everyone is frozen in fear and they were already drenched in sweat.

"Let me tell you guys something as we continue"

Tanaka's voice resounded as if the warm sun came towards them, everyone turned their attention back to Tanaka and not to the katana.

"Did you know that fear... is not real, fear is a product of your imagination, you fear something you have never felt before. What is there to fear? Death? How funny, you don't know what death is, so why do you fear it? Don't fear the unknown, I am not telling you guys to die but never let fear control you"

Tanaka spoke and they didn't even notice that Tanaka was already dancing around with the sword on his hand, his movement were graceful, slow, but sharp, it gave a feeling of being able to cut everything.

"But don't get me wrong, danger is very real, what you are feeling now is not fear but danger, your body is telling you that you are in danger... that I am the danger, so what do you do in front of danger? give me an answer!"

"We fight!"

"What kills you makes you?"

"Stronger!"

*Swoosh!

As Tanaka finished his last word, he swung his Katana forward, creating a powerful gust of wind making every lost their balance.

"That is the end for today, we will do it again next week!"

Tanaka spoke as he put the Katana back to its sheath.

"Thank you for the hard work!"

The members bowed and yelled back.

Tanaka nodded and left the room. Once he had left, all the people in the room fell in the ground at the same time. They were tired, some were sweating buckets, some were still shivering, and some already passed out.

Surprisingly, Kohi didn't pass out but she was in the verge of passing out but thankfully, Hosaka handed her a bottle of water in time in which she regained her energy back.

"Ah! that was intense! is the training really that hard?"

"This is probably the simplest training in the guild, if you join the special or secret division, then this will be a hundred times harder"

"Really?"

Kohi couldn't help but imagine how torturous that training will be, are the members of those divisions masochists or something? But she didn't think about it for long as the tireness took over her once again.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed.

Tanaka was playing ALO and was just hunting a monster and when he finally killed he, he stopped when he suddenly heard the system notification.

[Congratulations! You are the first player that have reached level 100!]

[System Announcement: A human player has reached level 100, Asgard is now open for players level 100 minimum and above]

"Eh? I actually hit level 100?"

Tanaka was confused when he saw the announcement, he then looked at the level board of the human side and saw the second highest is level 90, and was part of the Iceforge guild.

"... Tanaka then turned his head to the monsters he had just defeated"

There are total of four monsters no, there is actually 5, but if you think about it, these 5 monsters only have 1 main body and that was the 5th one, according to the quest Tanaka found, the monster tastes very delicious.

These monsters are level 350+ so defeating these monsters took quite a little difficulty for Tanaka to defeat.

If he remembered correctly, these monsters are called the Four Beasts, they are field boss type monsters.

"Well, I guess I'm done here, there are much delicious food in the Asgard. I also want to taste the Millenium Soup. There is also the Eon Soup and Epoch Soup, I can't wait to taste those"

Tanaka couldn't help but drool as he remembered the taste of the Century soup that he had eaten a few days ago. It was extremely delicious and Tanaka was sure that the characters in Toriko did not lie by how delicious they were.

"Since the Asgard is open, I don't want to go alone, I should help the guild a little bit"

Tanaka yawned before chatting Hosaka to meet up with him along with the guild members to level up.

"I'm low on meat so I might as well use them"

Tanaka suddenly remembered he was low on meat. Anyway, he plans to bring the members to hunt the Regal Mammoth, a level 180 monster. It has many delicious meat parts and also has a jewel meat which is one hell of a god meat.
