Chapter 291 Evil Plan Brewing! [2]
291 Evil Plan Brewing! [2]
Tech Genesis is a company that has a monopoly on technology and is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world. Every product that they delivered was enough to shock and cause commotion all over the world.
Numerous people wondered about the identity of such a company including Yui Ernest. However, she didn’t expect that the genius that people wondered about was no more than 16 years old.
It was also surprising to learn that Zero is an unrivaled fighter, and even more surprising to learn that his mind surpasses millions of people in intelligence. Yui was baffled and came to know the feeling that Elysia felt when she saw the fight of Zero.
To possess an unbelievable mind as well as physical prowess, was really unfair to other people.
“Are you sure?”
Yui said finding such information unbelievable. Even though she knew that there was no reason for Elysia to lie to her, she still could not believe such things.
“Not really! That’s why I wanted to meet Senior Zero. Well, considering it was my sister who told me the information, it is most likely true.”
Elysia said.
She could understand the reaction of Yui who had just gotten hold of such information. She was also surprised to find that Zero was ridiculously strong.
.....
She thought that Zero would be weak and that he was more interested in the business and technology side rather than becoming an Explorer.
Those who want to go into programming and business are those people who see no hope in becoming an Explorer.
If one could become an Explorer, one would not think about obtaining skills other than survival and fighting. As a result, she found it surprising to discover that Zero, who founded such a company, was also so strong that even a rare genius like Hiro seemed normal in comparison.
She could not fathom what Zero thought when he decided to open such a company. Though taking profit into account, one may think that it is a natural choice. But one should know that Explorers would rather invest their time into training than try to do something like this.
One should know that despite how people look down on software developers in that world, it is not easy to obtain programming skills. It would take a long time before one became proficient at programming and there was also the time taken to research and develop an app. Plus there was also the case of setting up the company and growing it which takes considerable time.
If Zero decided to invest those time in training, she could not tell how strong Zero would have been in the Tournament Of Academies.
Though Zero’s decision to invest in a company had a big return, it was not something that any people could achieve. Only someone who is visionary and knows what he is doing could achieve such success.
Already his identity as a genius of Ace Academy was shocking but more than that was his identity as the founder of Tech Genesis. His status as the founder of Tech Genesis may even surpass that of the guildmaster of a Diamond graded guild.
!!!
Yui was wondering how Zero could do such things while still being a student when she sensed hostile gazes and was instantly on her guard. She had already taken her weapon out of her storage ring.
“Who is there?”
Yui said seriously.
Elysia was surprised by Yui’s action but saw that Yui had even taken out her sword. She knew something was up.
Without questioning, she also took out her weapon which was a Rank-B Wand. She was also on her guard.
“Hehe… I didn’t expect that you would be able to notice our presence. Talented indeed!”
Three men covered in black cloth emerged from the darkness. However, they didn’t seem to think much about being discovered.
“It would be best if you obediently followed us!”
One of the men said.
“You Wish!”
Elysia immediately prepared her spell. She could guess that those three were targeting either Yui or her and there was no way that she could let them have their way.
[ “Fissure Frenzy” ]
An offensive spell that creates fissures and chasms in the ground, trapping and damaging enemies. It could easily injure Rank-E humans and as it was an AOE attack, it could be very useful when dealing with weak enemies.
This spell was the strongest that she could muster right now. However, she already knew that it was of no use since she could sense that those three men were far stronger than her.
Even though she knew that she was not going to sit around and let them have their way. She quickly took out the teleportation scroll and tried to run away with Yui.
“Activate!”
Elysia poured in her mana and tried to teleport, however, there was no reaction and they were still in that place.
“Hehe… Lady, it would be best if you didn’t try more. Your teleportation will also not work here!”
One of them said. Despite getting hit by Elysia, there wasn’t a scratch on their bodies. It seems that the Elysia attack has failed to do anything to them.
Yui quickly assessed their strengths and weaknesses, trying to come up with a plan to escape. However, seeing that the space around them seemed to have been isolated, she didn’t think it was possible to escape nor was it possible to call for help.
As for defeating them, it was even more impossible. She could not tell how strong they were, but she could at least feel that they were at least ranked higher than Rank-D. Even with both of them working together, she knew that they could not defeat even one of them, not to mention that there were three of them.
However, surrendering was also not an option.
-WHOOSH!
-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!
Yui rushed and attacked the men who seemed to be the leader of the three. She knew that it was impossible to win, but she needed to buy time in order for people to notice the abnormality in that place.
The artifact that they used to isolate the space would cause abnormalities in the mana around that place and she hoped that the guards would be able to notice that and come to help them.
-CLANK! CLANK! -THUD!
However, Yui’s attacks were all parried and she was pushed back with a swing of his sword. However, she held her sword tightly, showing her determination to continue the fight. Elysia was also preparing her spell to help Yui.
-WHOOSH!
However, the leader disappeared from Yui’s vision. She didn’t know where he went as he was so fast that she didn’t even see him move.
“What?”
Yui was startled as she lost sight of him in a second. She immediately strengthened her defense knowing that an attack was coming.
“YUI, BEHIND YOU!”
Elysia anxiously shouted. She was preparing to attack, however, she stopped as she knew that she would be slower than the man attacking Yui and she could mistakenly hit Yui.
-BANG!
Yui was knocked out in a second before she even had the opportunity to react to Elysia’s words. Then he also went and knocked out Elysia.
“Our mission is complete here! Let’s head back!”
“Yes, leader!”
-WHOOSH!
The three of them along with the unconscious Yui and Elysia disappeared.
Even those who were within 10 meters of the incident were unaware of what had occurred. Yui and Elysia were kidnapped in broad daylight but nobody noticed a thing.
