I Only Want To Kill-Chapter 74: Morning Training

Getting off of Ghostblood, Blaze’s appearance turns back to his human form, the form that withholds all his bloodthirst and wrath.

Now he is only Blaze Singer, a trashy who just turned Awakened less than 72 hours ago.

He turns to Mitsuhiro.

"Do you want to return to the Lantern?"

Mitsuhiro looks at the expanding and vast landscape of the desert.

The never-ending horizon with the sun blazing afar. Dry wind blows past his fiery mane, black smoke pours out from his nostrils.

"I haven’t been out in the world... for a long time.

So this is what it looks like. I had almost forgotten the feeling of it."

"Go. If I need you, I’ll call you."

"You’re an interesting being... I never thought you were only a kid."

Mitsuhiro observes Blaze. He can see in Blaze’s eyes that he, too, has gone through unimaginable hardships.

They are alike. But Blaze found the strength to fight back. Maybe he, too, the lost son of Ori, can find the strength to take revenge on those who wronged him.

This dream is closer than ever with the help of Blaze.

"Call me when you need me, Wraith. I’ll always be close by."

And then Mitsuhiro dashes off to the unknown.

Blaze doesn’t know where he is going, nor does he want to ask.

Mitsuhiro was dealt a bad hand in life. His future was so promising, but one wrong turn and it all collapsed.

More and more people like him are out there.

Blaze knows he can’t stop them all. But he will kill the root of these evils.

Vox Entertainment and the Hyperion Federation. The two largest organizations in Ranas are already rotted to the core.

Blaze does wonder if the Institution of Order is the same. From what he saw in Nadyr’s memory, they would be no better.

This begs the question.

Why have the rulers of this country become so corrupt? Is it because of the call of power? Or just because it is the nature of humanity?

Blaze ponders.

Blaze knows he is nothing more than a mere mortal as well. He can also be tempted and become like them.

My only wish, now and forever more, is to remain as myself. To stay true to my goal and to the people I believe in.

Blaze calmly walks back to his house.

He can see Alyson doing some exercise in the garden with a yoga mattress spread out on the ground.

That mattress belongs to Kana. Blaze hasn’t seen his mother use it for a long time.

Blaze walks in on Alyson.

She wears a white sports bra and tight yoga pants. These must also belong to his mother as well. The two most important women in his life seem to get along pretty well.

Alyson lays her feet onto the fabric. Her entire body is face down on the ground. She lifts her upper chest up with her two hands, stretching the spine to great length.

Sweat runs on her collarbone, emphasizing each little detail of her white, smooth neck. Her skin is glowing in the sunlight.

The metamorphosis causes all five senses of Blaze to become extremely sensitive. He sees much better, hears much better, and also can smell much better.

Alyson’s sweat mixes with her natural odor and creates a sensational aroma that charms Blaze.

She smells good. A searing aroma that has bits and pieces of softness behind it. An aroma that can vanquish any man.

Blaze gulps involuntarily.

"Oh hey, Blaze! You come back!"

"Yeah. I need to get ready to go to the Awakened League."

"Want to join? I will show you how to train."

"It is my pleasure."

Blaze sits down beside her and copies her movement. He has never trained in his entire life, his body is rigid and undeveloped.

The powers make his natural attributes stronger, sure, but he does not use them to the maximum extent of their capabilities.

The increased attributes only help him to get used to the training much more.

Push-ups, crunches, and stretches. Alyson teaches a very basic but essential training course.

However, Blaze can feel his body becoming more and more adaptable.

"Why do you train, Alyson? Doesn’t your Animalistic Fusion already enhance your physical conditions?"

Blaze says while trying to hold a plank position.

Alyson is right beside him, doing the same pose but with much better posture.

"Your belly is too low, lift it up. Your entire body needs to stay in a straight line."

"Understood, teacher!"

Alyson chuckles and then explains further.

"Powers strengthen our base conditions, that is true. But remember, it is only BASE conditions. Our body can be enhanced even more with training.

That is why you always need to train. A C5-rank physical power can be as strong as a C3 if you train well."

"That... sounds very logical."

Blaze hasn’t thought about training much. He can have all the power in his hands by completing missions and killing goons. But letting his body go underdeveloped is a fool’s idea.

I should find a suitable training plan.

Blaze thinks. There are a lot of aspects of his powers that he has not made the best use of.

Genesis Legion, for example, has the Sub Power Legion of One, which makes all his improvements shared between him and the clones.

This does not allow him to receive power-up like when Hugo and Anton fused together or when a Soul Genome is integrated into the Clones.

But maybe its best use is not sharing powers but developing it.

Blaze has a normal clone without any power, Blaze-Zero. Maybe he can arrange for it to be the main training clone.

Its attributes and physical prowess are the weakest in the clone. But Blaze knows the weaker you are, the more development you can get.

Blaze-Zero can be the central point to utilize Genesis Legion to the fullest.

More experiments will need to be taken out.

The All-Ranged Nightmare Gate (S-rank) of Caroline Wright is a devastating power and can easily wipe out every single person in a citywide radius.

His power, Genesis Legion (S-rank), should have the same or at least matching capacity as it. The only thing is Blaze doesn’t know how to yet.

They spend half an hour finishing the training. Alyson is covered in sweat while Blaze barely has any.

The disadvantage of having too many high attributes is that barely any training is effective. This is when Blaze-Zero comes in.

"I’m taking a shower now. Then I’ll be going to the Awakened League with Mother. You want to come?"

"Of course!"

Alyson nods.

They go inside the house to see Kana making breakfast. She wears a simple white blouse that makes her gleam in the morning. So different from the sad and tired widow when Phuc was still here.

"Clean yourself up, kids! Breakfast should be ready by then."

"Yes, Mom!"

Blaze goes away to the bathroom. Alyson sneakily follows him, trying to hide from Kana’s gaze.

But Kana catches her arm and drags her back out.

"What did I say about keeping distance, girl?"

"I wasn’t going to do anything!"

Kana laughs, not believing a word she says. Having a perfect daughter-in-law is good, but being too forward is also a headache.

"I’m telling you. There’s an art on how to keep your man. This is not it. Come here, let me tell you how me and his father met."

Alyson can’t do anything except sit down with Kana.

She does not intend to join Blaze, that is the truth. But she did want to take just a tiny peek.

His body is insanely attractive now, with those rock-hard abs and defined biceps. An urge forces Alyson to discover what he really looks like underneath.

Well, this force is simply lust. Alyson can hear Blaze’s laugh from across the hallway. This caused her to shrink her neck.

Maybe I am too forward...

It’s not like she just became like this after Blaze metamorphosed, she has always been this forward since the beginning.

The scene of her dragging Blaze into her arms on the school rooftop is more vivid than ever.

She is still the Lioness after all. She never hesitated to take what she wanted.
