Oliver's eyes widened in terror as he watched the claws heading towards his chest. When the claws was only centimeters away from his chest, Oliver moved his body to the side, weaving the slash by a hair length. After dodging the slash, Oliver stretched his right leg forward and sent out a kick towards Dan's stomach. 

PAH!

Dan lifted his left arm, blocking the kick easily and sent out a punch of his own.

"It's time I see what this Sprint Talent really means." Oliver pondered internally. "Activate Sprint!" He called out internally.

[SPRINT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]

Activating the skill, Oliver felt his whole body become light as a feather, and the breeze in the cafeteria felt like it could blow him off. Even the fist heading towards his head seemed to have decreased drastically in pace and was now moving as slow as a tortoise.

Reacting swiftly, Oliver moved to the side and dashed towards Dann who was still moving like a snail, and he sent out a punch of his own towards Dan's right cheek. Dan's eyes widened in shock after watching Oliver weave his punch at an incredible speed and also sent out a punch that was too fast for him to react.

Oliver's fist collided with Dan's right cheek, and the sound of teeth breaking reverberated throughout the cafeteria as Dan was sent sliding across the cafeteria floor, until his body finally hit the wall and he passed out.

The whole crowd's eyes widened in shock after witnessing the impossible scene that just played out right in front of them. The boy they all deemed as trash knocking out two high ranked Talent users without breaking a sweat.

Oliver stood there proudly before shifting his gaze towards Christopher who still sat there with a look of disbelief etched on his face. Christopher rose from where he sat and stepped forward.

"I see you've grown wings, eh?" Christopher blurted out as he walked forward with his face bright red in anger. "You dare lay your fingers on my friends? You are going to die!" Christopher spat as he stretched his right hand to the side, repelling a metallic chair towards his side and sent it towards Oliver, using his telekinesis ability.

The chair traveled through the air at a tremendous speed as it headed towards Oliver. Before the chair cold get close, Oliver leaped into the air and delivered a kick towards the incoming chair and knocked it down to the floor. 

Oliver landed back on the ground,and before he could catch his breath he caught sight of three more chairs heading towards him. This time he charged towards the incoming chairs, and when they were only centimeters away from him, he clenched his right fist tightly and punched it out towards the incoming chairs.

BAM!

His fist slammed heavily onto the chairs,and the force behind the punch sent the chairs back to the sender. Christopher's eyes widened in shock as he saw his own attack being sent back to him, and in the last second he was able to slow down the pace with his Talent and sent it back to Oliver.

Oliver repeated his actions and punched the chairs back, Christopher also did the same and sent it back. The chairs kept going back and forth, and anyone who just stepped into the cafeteria would think they are playing a tennis match. 

"Enough of this crap." Oliver said internally as he clenched his fist tightly, and his bones could be seen popping out with so much hatred. He then punched it forward and it struck the chairs really heard, causing it to fly back towards Christopher in a pace that was times two faster than the previous one.

Christopher who didn't expect expect such a speed, had no time to dodge. The chairs crashed against him and sent him flying backwards until his back hit the wall and he fell.

Christopher swiftly got back on his feet and regained composure instantly.

"What's with this trash? Where did he suddenly get so much power?" Christopher pondered internally in disbelief as he had his gaze fixed on Oliver. "Isn't he the same trash? Why does he give me chills?"

Christopher stood there in contemplation before leaning down beside Dan and touched his body. He also touched the body of Ken and rose back up.

"I don't know how you are able to do what you are doing right now, but all I know is that your little luck has run out, and now it's time for you to pay!." Christopher voiced out before shifting his gaze towards his two friends that laid down unconscious before charging in once more.

Oliver swiftly got in a fighting stance as he watched Christopher charge towards him in a fast pace, and in less than a second he arrived in striking distance and punched out his clenched fists together.

Oliver watched the fists heading towards him at insane speed,and in the last second he ducked low, dodging the punches by a hair length. Before Oliver could regain composure,  Christopher, sent out a kick towards Oliver's chest.

Oliver who hadn't expected the kick,had no time to block. The kick connected neatly to his chest and sent him flying backwards and rolling on the floor.

"Aahhhh!!!" Christopher made a battle cry as he began to dash towards Oliver would still struggled to stand on the edge of the rooftop,and his only goal was to kick him off completely. Christopher arrived in striking distance and he raised his right leg and sent out a kick towards Oliver's head.

Oliver split his legs and and went low, dodging the kick completely. Before Christopher could retrieve his outstretched leg, Oliver stretched his right leg forward and kicked Christopher's last leg, making him lose balance and began to stumble.

Christopher stumbled for a few seconds, and when he was about to regain balance, Oliver struck him with a round house kick that connected neatly with his head and made him lose balance once more and fell.

In a blink of an eye, he regained composure.

"You really think you can take me out just like that?" Christopher questioned with a huge grin on his face. 

"How?" Oliver questioned with a slight look of confusion.

"If i told you my secret technique it won't be such a big secret anymore would it?" Christopher spoke up with a smirk. It seemed like Christopher was the mouth of the whole brothers since he has been the one doing the talking this whole time while the remaining two just remain mute.

"You guys have made me pass through hell day in and day out. That ends today!!" Oliver muttered as he got in a fighting stance, gesturing to the group to come at him.

    Jax looked at Oliver. Jax was a brave man. He loved to fight. But he saw the cold, empty darkness in Oliver's eyes."Commander," Jax asked softly. "What is the probability that my men and I survive the blast?"Oliver did not look away. He did not lie. He never lied to his soldiers."The probability of your survival is 12.1 percent," Oliver said clearly.Captain Iris gasped. She covered her mouth with her good hand. "Oliver! You are sending them on a suicide mission! You are telling them to die!""I am telling them to win," Oliver said flatly.Jax took a deep breath. He looked at Kael. Kael nodded slowly."12.1 percent," Jax smiled a sad, hard smile. "I have fought worse odds. We will pack the cannon, Commander. Strike Squad Seven, moving out."Jax’s screen blinked off.Oliver turned away from the floating screens. He looked back at the giant blue hologram. The pieces were moving. The chess board was set. Every action had a measurable probability. Every human life was just a number in

    One minute later, the command room was filled with floating faces.Large holographic screens hovered around Oliver’s desk.On the first screen was General Thorne from Delta-9. The old man looked extremely tired. His gray uniform was wrinkled.On the second screen was Commander Hayes from Echo-4. She looked angry and terrified. She had not forgiven Oliver for destroying the Iron Star.On the third screen was Captain Jax. Jax was standing in the heavy weapon armory deep below Oakhaven. Giant metal mechs and massive Genesis Cannons rested in the dark behind him.And standing physically in the room was Captain Iris. She watched Oliver with sad, angry eyes."Listen closely," Oliver said. He did not say hello. He did not ask how they were. He spoke in crisp, sharp tactical language. "Every second we waste is measured in human blood. We have extracted the enemy's battle plan. The Wraithborn are launching a multi-front galactic siege. They will arrive in four hours.""Four hours?!"

    The command room smelled like burning meat.Commander Oliver stood in the center of the room. He was still standing next to the giant blue hologram. His right hand was completely black. The skin was burned and cracked. It looked like a piece of dead wood. The dark magic from the alien coin had destroyed his flesh.A small, white medical robot rolled up to Oliver. It held a needle filled with pain medicine. It beeped softly."Commander," Captain Vance said. Vance was still sitting on the floor. He looked at Oliver’s hand with wide, terrified eyes. "Please. Let the robot help you. You are badly hurt."Oliver did not look at the robot. He did not look at his hand. He looked only at the giant blue hologram floating in the air."Pain is a variable," Oliver said. His voice was completely flat. It was the voice of a machine. "If I take the medicine, my brain will slow down by four percent. I cannot afford to lose four percent. Send the robot away.""But sir—" Vance started."Send it away, Ca

    On the screen, Billy was typing frantically. His face was pale white. Sweat poured down his cheeks. "Boss... the pulse is leaving our planet. It is going out into the Rift. It is crossing dimensions!"The hologram showed the purple wave traveling across millions of miles of dark space.Then, the wave hit something.Far away, at the very edge of the holographic map, thousands of new red dots suddenly appeared. Then millions. Then billions."Oh my god," Iris cried from the floor. She stared at the hologram.The entire edge of the map turned completely red. It was not just an army. It was an entire universe of monsters. It was the true Wraithborn empire, hiding deep in the dark magic of the Rift.And in the very center of that massive red ocean, a giant, pulsing yellow dot appeared."What is that yellow dot?" Vance asked, his voice shaking uncontrollably."It is the central command node," Oliver said, breathing heavily. "It is the humanoid strategist. We found him. I have his exact coord

    "I have already calculated the risk," Oliver said. His voice was an absolute command. It left no room for arguing. "The risk of a computer virus is 12.4 percent. The risk of losing the war because we do not understand the enemy is 100 percent. Bring me the cables, Captain Vance."Vance swallowed hard. He nodded. "Yes, sir."Vance ran to a supply closet in the back of the room. He brought out a tangle of thick black wires and small silver scanning devices.Oliver placed the glowing coin carefully in the center of his desk. It pulsed. Thump. Thump. It cast a scary purple shadow on the walls."Attach the sensors," Oliver ordered.Vance’s hands shook as he placed four small silver sensors around the coin. He plugged the thick black wires into the sensors. He plugged the other ends of the wires into the main computer server."Billy," Oliver said. "Are the connections secure?"On the screen, Billy typed very fast. Green lines of code flew across his monitor. "Connections are secure, boss. B

    The command room was a mess. Just an hour ago, a Wraithborn operative had walked right through the solid steel wall. It had killed four human guards. It had tried to kill Commander Oliver. Now, the monster was just a pile of black ash on the floor.Two small cleaning robots rolled across the gray metal floor. They made soft humming sounds. Vrrrrr. They swept up the black ash. They sprayed chemicals to clean the red blood. The four dead guards had already been carried away to the medical wing.Captain Vance stood by his desk. He was shaking. He looked at the empty space where the guards had died. He could not stop his hands from trembling.Captain Iris sat in a chair in the corner. Her left arm was still in a thick white cast. She looked tired. She looked angry. She watched Oliver.Commander Oliver did not look at the blood. He did not look at the robots. He stood behind his large black desk. He was perfectly calm. His uniform was clean. His face was like a stone mask. He was thinking.
