Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential !-Chapter 176: VIP Room N°1

While she was deep in thought, the bedroom door suddenly opened.

Edgar, Lucien and Sophia, the Shibuya’s 3 lieutenants, entered, visibly worried.

But when they saw the silhouette of their captain, they were surprised.

"Captain!"

"Guys, there you are..."

The 3 lieutenants had complicated looks, and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Seeing her lieutenants in this state made Leïla feel strange.

As if they were hiding something.

Finally it was Edgar who spoke.

"So the captain is aware of what happened while she was unconscious?"

"Yes, I know that Maxime saved me." replied Leïla, shaking her head.

Edgar, Lucien and Sophia looked at each other strangely after this reply.

It was as if they were wondering whether they should tell him something.

Leïla frowned at this, and had a bad premonition.

"What, did something else happen?"

They all nodded, embarrassed but casting admiring glances at Maxime, who was lying in bed.

"You’re so quiet, tell me what happened." ordered Leïla in a dry tone.

She knew her men very well, and none of their reactions escaped her.

"Maxime didn’t just save you, Captain. He saved us all." explained Sophia, who was standing a little way back.

Leïla opened her eyes wide.

Since she’d just woken up, news had been coming one after the other.

The only thing they had in common was that they all concerned one person in particular.

"Did he save us all? He’s only one man, and facing an entire regiment of Dravak he can only die." asked Leïla questioningly.

But Edgar shook his head.

"His personal power is just the tip of the iceberg of his true fighting strength. The main thing is his men from Eternity."

The 3 lieutenants began to tell the whole story, while Leïla closed her eyes to make sure she understood everything.

After 10 minutes, they finished summing it all up.

Leïla rubbed her eyes with difficulty, feeling her brain heating up.

"So now you’re telling me that most of Shibuya survived this encounter thanks to my one-night stand, is that it?"

A slight silence settled over the room.

Finally broken by Edgar:

"...Yes."

Leïla felt like flipping out while they were thinking of many things:

"And what’s more, he was a high-school student..."

"What the hell is this?"

"Why is a high-school student on a dimensional battlefield? How the hell did he get permission?"

"He should just be preparing for the university exam, shouldn’t he!"

"And who made him so handsome and gifted at..."

Leïla didn’t finish her sentence, realizing that she was deviating from the main topic.

Then she sighed, accepting this reality.

"And so all his men, apart from this Dravak, are dead?" she finally asked without much hope.

But to her surprise, her lieutenants shook their heads.

"Some of them survived!?"

Edgar answered for them all:

"Yes, of the hundred or so men he had summoned, some thirty elite men are still alive."

"But most of them are all in emergency, their condition critical because when Maxime deactivated his talent, or skill, we don’t know yet, 20 of them fell straight to the ground, unconscious."

Lucien nodded and added:

"Just like their leader, their vital prognosis is engaged and very few of them are expected to survive."

"What a pity, his men have formidable fighting power and could have made good contributions on this battlefield," Leïla commented with disappointment.

At the same time, she blamed herself, because if she and her men weren’t so weak, Maxime wouldn’t have had to sacrifice the majority of his men.

"We’ll have to compensate Maxime, because when the system calculation is made at the end of the battlefield and distributes the Eternity coins, then Maxime will have far fewer than expected because of the death of his men."

"He will thus lose a valuable opportunity to obtain skills, talents, combat techniques or technology such as weapons and armor for his mercenaries."

"He’ll still get plenty of Eternity coins, but the rewards will be less lucrative because of us."

Leïla really felt guilty about Maxime.

She herself was a genius, though far less talented than Kavasta, but enough to reach the position of captain of an elite mercenary group.

And she had the strength to match.

So she knew how important every opportunity to gain strength, especially at a young age, was.

Especially when reaching university, where opportunities to become stronger were available, and the ability to seize them depended on the strength of the students.

But Edgar disagreed.

He was older than Leïla and knew a bit more than her about how the system worked on the battlefield.

"The system directly calculates the contribution on the battlefield."

"And believe me Captain, Maxime’s contribution for saving our mercenary group should not be light."

"What’s more, if our mercenary group does very well on the battlefield later on, that should also play positively on the Eternity points Maxime will receive at the end."

Hearing Edgar’s words, Leïla was reassured.

"Thank you, Edgar."

But suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed next to the Shibuyas.

"Can you be quiet? People are sleeping here."

The 3 lieutenants were the first to turn in the direction of the voice, and immediately their faces paled.

Dravus was now sitting cross-legged on the side of his bed in front of them.

His elbow rested on his thigh, looking bored.

Even in this position, he was still taller than them, while his spread wings almost covered the width of the room.

For her part, when Leïla turned around, she wasn’t afraid; on the contrary, she was very curious about the Dravak in front of her.

Leïla watched Dravus with fascination mixed with caution.

It wasn’t every day she came face to face with an awake Dravak.

Their reputation in the Omega universe was truly terrifying.

"It’s incredible to wake up with the injuries you had," she finally said.

Dravus raised an eyebrow.

"Because you thought I was going to die?" he retorted with a smile.

"Yes." Leïla continued sincerely.

This caused a small vein to appear on Dravus’ forehead, but he decided not to worry about it.

"Get out of here, there are people here who need a rest."

"Although your discussions about Eternity coins are very interesting, since we don’t have that on the Dravak side."

Leïla didn’t care for Dravus’s requests, and was immediately taken aback by a detail.

"Since you don’t have any Eternity coins, you’re fighting for nothing?"

Dravus smiled slightly.

"Of course if we have our own rewards, but it works differently from you."

Leïla’s eyes began to sparkle as she heard this.

No doubt it was classified information she was hearing.

But just as she wanted to continue asking questions, Dravus stood in front of her, and repeated:

"I’m not answering any more questions, get out of here. Now."

This time, Dravus’ voice was much firmer.

Edgar, Lucien and Sophia looked at Leïla, who nodded, showing that they should listen to him.

"Good rest Dravus. Please be on your way." Leïla said with a smile as she left.

"I’m counting on it." Dravus replied simply, as if it were obvious.

The Shibuyas closed the door behind them, and silence returned to the room.

Dravus sighed slightly, then looked at Maxime, still breathing normally, as if he couldn’t be bothered by the noises in the room.

"Chief." said Dravus, looking at Maxime.

But no reaction came from Maxime, his breathing still very steady.

"I know you’re awake, my perception can’t fool me." Dravus continued in a calm tone.

This time, a smile appeared on Maxime’s face.

His blue eyes opened slowly, looking up at the white ceiling above him.

Then he turned his head slightly, and looked at Dravus.

"Good perception." Maxime commented.

"It’s nothing compared to your healing talent." Dravus replied simply.

Maxime remembered that Dravus was still new, so there was a lot of information he didn’t know.

"It’s called [the awakening of life], it comes from the goddess Viviana." he explained.

"I don’t know who the goddess Viviana is, but thanks to her because without the talent she gave you, we’d both be long dead." said Dravus with sincere gratitude.

"Maybe...or maybe not, because without that talent, my choices would have been different and maybe even our paths would never have crossed Dravus."

Dravus smiles.

"Then I’m indebted to her." Your next read is at novelbuddy

Maxime didn’t take Dravus’s words seriously; a goddess’s power must have been so powerful that it wasn’t even imaginable to mortals like them.

Undoubtedly, the recognition of a Dravak or a Dravak with his bloodline was the same for her: it was useless.

"So how does it feel to wake up a bloodline?"

"Not much in the end, it was as if I’d always had it inside me. How does it feel to have a Dravak with an awakened bloodline under your command?"

The two looked at each other seriously, then suddenly began to laugh together.
