Some people in this world are worth more than others. It''s not just what they do but also about their innate ability, which they possess. Hidden potential and stuff, you know? Even before the apocalypse urred, Alissa and I had a small project of our own. To research more about the hidden potential of everyone we meet and see if we can improve the condition of those around us.
"First, take this back," I said as I threw the grenade at the guy who threw it at me and he caught it without thinking much.
Though it took him only a sh to realize what he had just done, but before he could do anything.
-BOOM!

''Hmmm...'' I looked at that message and pondered a little before putting it at the back of my mind.
Two of the seven died while one of them fell off injured on the ground. I then turned to the other 3 who were standing on the other side of the leader guy.

I then took out my handgun which M gave me before and shot one of them before turning back to the leader guy and deactivating my ability.
"Now listen.."
-Thud

The body of the guy I shot fell down on the ground and everyone''s eyes darted towards him with fear and confusion in their eyes.
"... I have a few questions for you," I spoke as I looked at him and with fear and hopelessness he gave out a loud cry,"YAAAAAA!!!" and took out his knife as his eyes turned red.
-sh!

Though I just killed him without any empathy or sympathy. It wasn''t him I was looking for anyway.
4 dead, 3 left.
I moved towards the two who were scared shitless there. One of them had peed his pants as he could barely maintain his bnce while the other one started crying out loud, begging me to let him live.
As I moved towards the two crying guys, I turned my back towards the guy who was pretending to be dead.
''When is he going to attack me from behind?''
[5 seconds!]
Not caring much I moved towards the two as I spoke,"Now listen, you both. Well... leaving these 5 bastards whom I wouldn''t have let roam free anyway, I want to ask howe you two got involved in this mess?"
[Temporal Deceleration!]
[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]
I stopped time, turned around to find that guy standing on his feet so I moved towards him and cut one of his feet off. If any sympathy I would have felt for him, his [Description] which mentioned how he had already raped and killed two women in this apocalypse already, removed any chances of doing so.
His death wasn''t going to be easy at all. At least the rest who died, didn''t have anything like that on their description.
Then after cutting his feet, I returned back to where I was before I slowed the time and deactivated my ability.
-Thud!
"AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" I heard a crying from behind but I focused on what was in front of me.
"And don''t worry. I am not really a bad person, honestly. As long as you answer my questions, I will even let you go," I spoke with a smile and some hope entered their eyes as one of them began crying as he spoke how he will tell everything to me.
I nodded before both of them narrated the whole story to me.
Briefly speaking, when the apocalypse struck, they got scouted by a group of armed men; they hunted from ce to ce, increasing their numbers with like-minded people or at least who can be forced to work with them.
Collecting people and girls with them, they started spreading rapidly with the Anta High School as their center of work. Growing to a number of 200 people, they have formed a sort of armed organization who were roaming about doing whatever they wanted.
''Well, not like I didn''t expect something like that,'' I thought as I turned around to see that wailing guy had almost sumbed to his injuries. However, there was no message

"All right, I guess I more or less understand your condition. Alissa," I spoke before Alissa appeared out of nowhere beside me. She looked at me with a bit confused expression and I spoke,
"Manipte them to stay with us. Make them work for us. I will be out for a walk. Hmmm... you know actually..."
I then turned to William as I spoke,"William. You guys move to the military base. I will reach you guys soon. You both just make sure nothing goes wrong with anyone... also if anything turns south, you can take whatever step you have to."
William just looked at me for a few moments before he nodded and Alissa, though a bit confused and curious, traced the faces of the two kids whom I didn''t kill.
Well, that was because...

''One of them is a Ghost Walker while the other one is an Arcanist. I wonder what powers they would manifest when they would upgrade themselves. Also, it''s not like they were bad guys or anything. Though Alissa would know better about them than I would,'' I thought as I looked at her and spoke,
"Pulchre spectant, sed vident illis. Si turpia sunt, tenta mutando. Si sine salute sunt, interficite eos.(They look fine but see to them. If they are ugly, then try changing them. If they are beyond saving, kill them.)"
She nodded at me with a chuckle as she answered,"Ita domine(Yes Sir)."
Then I looked at those guys before confirming once again,"it''s Anta High School, right?" and they nodded before I used
[Space Map Time(Unique)]
[5. Allows the user to find the most optimal route towards the ce where he desires within the map.]
And then thought about the Anta High School and a route formed in front of me towards my destination. Since, I don''t have much to do... let''s check out that ce too.
''I wonder if dad ended up there by any chance...'' I thought before taking a step towards the so-called refugee camp created by those ruffians.
