It was a great day.
Mateo, Level 5 Abyssal, an Abyss Warrior by title, supervised the assassination of another genius.
That boy was only a seventeen years and six months old but reached Level 2. Usually, he'd be scouted and recruited by the powers.
A local family in power could sign him up for a mutually beneficial relationship. They would provide him with resources when he goes to the military academy and in turn, he'd help them out after he grew stronger.
If he was talented enough, they'd even let him marry into the family.
Even though there were no civil wars in the past two hundred years, power kept changing hands. So every power did their best to grow their power and, at least, preserve it.
The Abyssals had no problem if the boy was like any average awakener, but he could grow into a high Awakener and cause them huge casualties.
However, neither was he solicited nor did he rise.
