Feng Yu Chen’s ability to cure Apocalypse infection made people bow down in reverence . In just a short while, Feng Yu Chen solidified his status as the ruler . Indeed, his authority outgrown his title as the student council president, he’s now effectively the one who calls the shot in this school .
Â
“Okay, I am going to talk about the flaws of Voids . Voids are strong but like everything else, they come with flaws as well…”
Â
Feng Yu Chen grabbed the glasses guy and he forcibly extracted his void from his chest . A pair of gloves flew into Feng Yu Chen’s hands .
Â
He placed the Void gloves on the table and he materialized Inori’s void sword to hack it .
Â
The glasses guy stared with wide eyes as Apocalypse Crystals started appearing all over his body .
Â
Feng Yu Chen continued slashing the gloves .
Â
With every slash, the gloves got damaged . Corresponding with this, the glasses guy’s state got worse and worse until he finally crystallized into a full-crystal mode and he shattered into nothingness .
Â
The others knew what he is trying to say with this .
Â
Feng Yu Chen continued .
Â
“As you can see, the void is materialized psyche . Destroying it would be the same as destroying a person . A damaged void and you will start experiencing symptoms like the glasses guy just now . This is the cruel truth you people need to know before you join my camp!”
Â
“How can this be?”
Â
“What should we do? Wouldn’t we die if our voids get destroyed?”
Â
“…”
Â
The crowd started panicking . They will die if their Voids get destroyed during combat, it started sinking into their minds .
Â
“Silence…”
Â
Feng Yu Chen slammed the table .
Â
“It’s not the end if your Void gets damaged in battle . Allow me to demonstrate, bring that guy over…”
Â
Saeko nodded and he brought the guy who stood up for the glasses guy .
Â
Feng Yu Chen drew out his void and he lifted his Void sword up .
Â
“No, please, I don’t want to die . I won’t defy or protest anymore, please, just let me go, I beg of you…’
Â
He saw how the glasses guy died, dying after slowly turning into a crystal is a death too horrible for him to accept .
Â
Feng Yu Chen didn’t heed his pleas . He swung his sword down and he gave the lackey’s void a good cut as evidenced by the Apocalypse crystals that appeared on his body .
Â
“Now, this may look like I am silencing dissidents with an iron fist, but, look closely…”Â
Feng Yu Chen’s actions were perceived as acts to thwart potential oppositions, or maybe he’s gripped by bloodlust . Either way, everyone including Tsugumi and her friends thought the same thing about him . Of course, it’s partly Feng Yu Chen’s fault for not telling them about this beforehand .
Â
“If this is how he is going to run the show then forget about it . He’s not a leader, he’s just a sadistic killer, bad to the bones…’
Â
Tsugumi frowned .
Â
Ayase pulled Tsugumi back .
Â
“He’s not as villainous as you think . He’s probably putting this show on for a purpose . I for one believe that he isn’t a person who killed because he can, he has to be doing this on purpose . ”
Â
Tsugumi pouted .
Â
“Ayase-nee, you keep defending him, are you in love with him or something?”
Â
“Y-you, what are you talking about? How did you get that idea?”
Â
Ayase blushed .
Â
Tsugumi saw her bashful look and she got the picture, pursing her lips she continued prodding her .
Â
“You tell me, I mean, your red face told me about it . Seriously, what’s so good about him I just don’t get it…”Â
“I…I… I don’t…”
Â
Ayase tried to come up with denials but her tone sold her out .
Â
Feng Yu Chen activated Void Extraction and his right hand started glowing with void power . He placed his hand on the damaged void belonging to the lackey and the void started recovering at a visible speed . It didn’t take long for him to fully repair the void . After finishing his treatment process, the crystals fell from the lackey’s body .
Â
The students finally realized what he was trying to do .
Â
Feng Yu Chen laughed
Â
“Like guns and machines that were damaged, voids can be repaired in a similar concept as conventional guns . My ability allows me to repair voids . Hence, fight with all your hearts! With me here, you are all going to survive with me . My Power of Kings gave me the ability to repair voids in addition to curing infections . With my leadership, a bright future awaits all of you!”
Â
“Ohhh!”
Â
The others started jumping in joy . He dispelled their fears, they could see the bright future he envisioned, only those who followed him can bask in this glorious light of hope .
Â
He waved his hand and everyone stopped to listen .
Â
“I am not going to sugar coat this . Your lives will not be the same after today for from now onwards, we have to band together against our common enemy . I don’t want to see backstab or betrayal . If you want to leave then you are free to leave . After joining my team, I expect absolute loyalty . Traitors and deserters will not be given any mercy!”
Â
Feng Yu Chen crushed the repaired void inside his hand and the lackey finally joined up with the glasses guy in the afterlife, after shattering and evaporating into nothingness . Â
The students started going over their options, it didn’t take long for the wise ones to come up with the most rational solution…
Â
“Those two deserved deaths, if we had listened to them, we would have been shot down like criminals the moment we approach the quarantine barriers…”
Â
“Yeah, fuck them for going up against Shu-Kaichou . Only Kaichou-sama can steer us towards a better tomorrow…”
Â
“Yes, I want to stay and fight . If we go out there on our own we are going to die from Apocalypse virus infections or get executed by GHQ members . I vote no on venturing out there…”
Â
“I want to live and only Kaichou-sama can give me that hope . His enemies are my enemies as well…”
Â
All of them made the conscious choice to follow Feng Yu Chen . More like, they had no choice but to do so since the beginning . With no other viable paths left for them, Feng Yu Chen is their only hope . They saw how capable he can be and they know that only he can give them Voids to defend themselves, cure their infections, repair their damaged voids . He’s the only individual that can get them through this nightmare .
Â
Feng Yu Chen saw their resolute faces and he smiled .
Â
“I am sure you all wouldn’t regret following me . Prepare yourselves, I will draw out all your voids tomorrow and then we will split up into three squads . The first squad would be in charge of long-ranged attacks while the second squad will be composed of combatants with close-quarters-combat abilities . Meanwhile, the third squad will be the rearguard .
Â
Today’s mission: all the males are to search for resources nearby, food, water, fuel, anything we can use in the upcoming battles . All the females are in charge of making food . Today’s the first day of our Void Task Force . Work hard and we can seize a better future for ourselves…”
Â
“Yes…”
Â
Everyone looked at him with touched expressions, for them, salvation is just around the corner .
