FLOW OR SUPPRESS

A few hours had passed smoothly

In the city The team leader sat on the travel Tunnel platform as he waited for the data to be transferred, there was only about two more hours left

Although he could've sent a team member back to the alliance to get what they needed he decided that it would be best to leave and gather forces, after all resentment energy was incredibly hard to sense and there could be dense waves of it in the air which could result in him and his team being corrupted slowly so he decided that it would be better to not take any chances

Just as he was within his thoughts his team members suddenly appeared behind him

"Sir! the East side is completely filled with resentment energy, there's even a medium sized lake, I couldn't go deep within that area due to the danger that I felt just from breathing the air" A man in a orange mask said and he looked down slightly not daring to look the man in the eyes

The Team leader silently shook his head as another subordinate spoke

The north is also filled but The liquid resentment energy only barely peaks over the huge piles of rubble, but it is still incredibly dangerous" another subordinate with an orange mask said as he glanced at his team leaders nod before another subordinate spoke

The south and west are not as dense, it's mostly composed of a gaseous type Resentment energy...." after this they all became quiet and waited for orders

"Good now we just have to wait for the data to download before we leave" the team leader said as he quickly dived back into silence

The subordinates quickly disappeared and fused into the shadows

...….

The kids had already reached the forest but they merely stayed within its outskirts as they were completely confused as what they were supposed to do

Athel stayed quiet but he quickly decided that there was no point in staying within this group and he should just train on his own so he merely walked away silently

"Wait! shouldn't we stick together it would be safer that way!" a boy the same age as Athel came up to him and grabbed his shoulder as he spoke in a soft tone

"No" Athel merely side as he shrugged his shoulder and knocked the boys hand off

The boy could sense the coldness within Athel's Voice so he let out a sigh accompanied by a shoulder shrug

"Fine suit yourself if you get severely injured don't come running back!"

Argel continued his slow walk into the dark forest while Roun looked at his back sadly but she seemed as if something was holding her back from approaching him

She quickly sighed in regret as he left her sight

Soon Elizabeth and Ruon went in their own direction as someone tried to stop them but Elizabeth merely told them off and continued moving, she felt as if it was a waste to stay with the group after all they were weak and when time got tough there would definitely be betrayal

Meanwhile the other kids from the third branch decided to stay together and create some kind of base within the outskirts of the forest

They had arrived there late so it was getting dark but they knew that they didn't have enough time to create a viable base so they decided that they would sleep in the trees

Meanwhile

They all had the same idea Athel Created a base within the ground and Elizabeth created a igloo with her ice

Elizabeth went out with Roun to scope out the area while Athel stayed within his little base and decided to cultivate through the night he was also scoping out the area but he was using his aura instead of physically moving around it was also a form of training while he was growing stronger by passively cultivating

Back in the outskirts of the forest within the trees

"Donald…..I'm scared" A girl with black hair that was tied into two braids said she wore huge circular glasses and a purpleish blue dress

"Don't say that Jenna! we have to be strong! and we can get stronger here, don't say such things like that anymore! At least while we're here" Donald said he had short blonde hair with blue eyes he had a thin figure but there were still some muscles on him he was weak but not as weak as he seemed

They were laying on some thick branches they were brother and sister so he decided to lay on a branch right besides his sister

they obviously had some potential and some strength in order to be in this forest but with their personalities they would probably have a bad time here, but if they survived they would definitely grow in maturity and strength

...

Enopy dragged his body around as he punched and kicked at the training dummies his face was dark due to his extremely bad mood and it was 100% due to the blood magic

When he got the info the system to show him information about the blood magic it had showed that he was able to use it but that would be like sentencing him to death

The type of magic was good but if he were to use it he would instantly become corrupted in a way that he would be filled with blood lust and controlled by it but he would also gain a huge boost in power physically and mentally

But he knew why it was like this it had been created during some massive war and it was probably used as a sudden burst of strength and anger that would be directed towards the enemies but after the war this obviously backfired and they were forced to take care of the blood magic users

The only real benefit that he got from it was that the system would gain more efficiently in helping him gain energy out of blood, but that compared to the fact that he could've got an access to a type of magic that was known to be extinct was all ruined because the magic itself was pretty much an unreversible trap

This left his mood incredibly sour even though he was taking out his anger on these dummies it wasn't enough, but it was all that he had right now he could easily suppress his anger but he decided to take it out on something rather than hold it inside and let it fester he didn't want to force his intelligence to force down such emotions because they grew to great just like what happened in his previous life which made him unconsciously act feeble and feel like despite all his hard work he was just some kind of waste of space

He never wanted to experience that again
