With a "bang", the iron fence of the detention cell was opened by the instructor. Wearing a long Victorian dress, Valkyrie is as noble as a queen. Her cold gaze fell through the fence on Zero in the detention cell. Lying on the ground with his eyes on the ceiling but not focused, only the occasional rise and fall of his chest, indicating that he was not a dead body.

Since being caught in a fight in the tavern and taken to the detention cell, over the next 12 hours, Zero has given Instructor Cario a few hard fixes. There is no doubt that Cario is very skillful at beating people. His punches and kicks all landed on Zero's inconsequential body parts, but each blow made Zero feel the pain beyond measure. It's as if Cario's striking skills bypass the defenses of his abilities and muscles and really act on the nerves, so after a few times, Zero almost collapsed.

Being able to lie in a vegetative state now already surprised Cario with the tenacity of Zero Will.

But after being tossed by Cario several times, Zero has a new understanding of the skills used by Liliang. I don't know if it's because of some skill or method, Cario is able to use liliang, or even energy, between dispersion and concentration. This allows the liliang and potential energy of each punch and kick he hits to bypass most of the defenses and act directly on the target's body.

Zero believes that Cario's "lesson" must be an insignificant part of all his liliang. Then you can imagine how much damage Cario will do when he goes all out.

It's just that unlike most of the Abilities, Cario doesn't seek superficial destructive power. He is more focused on inner destruction and in terms of killing a person. Killing the target while destroying a wide area of the physical environment with luxurious attacks is not much different from directly punching the opponent.

Cario's technique, which is more prominent in terms of energy saving and efficiency, also has a faint enlightening effect on zero.

Zero's mind was completely immersed in the image of Calio's punch and kick, and he recorded all of Cario's movements with a memory far higher than that of ordinary people, and replayed them at a slow pace. By observing the muscle changes of Cario's attacks, as well as the angle and landing point of the attack, Zero constantly analyzes Cario's skills. In this way, Zero has learned a little, but the skills he imitates are only two or three percent of Cario's power at most.

"Get me up if you're not dead yet, if you still want to attend the class. ”

Valkyrie's cold voice shattered Zero's thoughts, and Zero's eyes began to focus. Countless signals are transmitted through the brain to various parts of the body, when the nerves are not able to send the signals back to the brain. Even though the process didn't even take 1 second, Zero found it strangely long.

But in reality, falling into Valkyrie's eyes, Zero jumped up quickly after hearing her words. It's just that his face suddenly changed slightly, and his body trembled slightly, but it returned to normal in an instant. It was the after-effects of being taught by Cario, but overall, Zero was fine.

Valkyrie turned and left, and the instructor who opened the door didn't mean to stop him, so Zero passed through the thin door. The detention cell is located just behind the instructor's office, and only an iron fence separates the punished soldiers from the outside world. For Zero, as long as he wants to leave at any time, the fence doesn't serve to restrain him in the slightest. Therefore, the significance of the iron fence is greater than the practical effect, of course, it is easy to leave, but you have to think about how to withstand the wrath of Cario.

It's certainly not as simple as punching a few punches.

When Zero followed Valkyrie to the instructor's office, Cario was resting his legs on his desk, still chewing two cigars in his mouth. Zero saw that he seemed to have to smoke a cigar all day long, and even if this expensive tobacco Cario could afford it, he was not afraid to smoke himself to death.

Valkyrie said to Cario expressionlessly, "I'm going to borrow your tactical guidance room. ”

"Just take it and use it well, anyway, no one usually uses it. Cario pulled a bunch of keys out of a drawer and threw them on his desk.

One of the instructors hurriedly picked it up and led the two to the guidance room. As he walked to the door, Zero suddenly turned to Cario and said, "Xiexie." ”

"Thank me for what?" said Kario, confused.

Zero smiled but didn't answer, and just left the office. After spitting out two large puffs of cigarette, Cario said to himself, "This guy looks like a bad beater." ”

The Tactical Guidance Room is a separate room right next to the office. Equipped with a number of projectors, brains and appliances. In peacetime, as a tactical theory course, there will be instructors who list some representative wars here, and explain to the recruits the tactics involved in the war, as well as the elements of weapons and personnel matching.

But today, there were only two people in the room, and it wasn't tactics that were involved, but knowledge of the ability domain.

Valkyrie used the brains in the room to open a tree root-like diagram on the back-projection screen. In the middle of the top of the chart, there is the word "Evolutionary Tree". Valkyrie looked at Zero and said lightly: "There is a saying in the new era, that talent determines ability, and ability determines destiny!"

"As we all know, abilities originate from the first genetic shock. And the ability produced after the genetic shock is related to the person's talent. Classifying and distinguishing different capabilities gives rise to the so-called five major competencies. When Valkyrie said this, he said in an accentuated tone: "However, the abilities obtained for the first time, such as liliang strengthening, defense strengthening, etc. In the system of competencies, they are all classified as basic competencies. So the question is, in this turbulent era, everything is evolving, so will the ability also evolve? The answer is yes, that's why it is there!"

Valkyrie's hand tapped on the light screen behind him, and said, "The Evolutionary Tree, or Ability Map." But in fact, they are all the same thing, after the collation and research of predecessors, modeling with basic capabilities, and comparing and scrutinizing through massive data, the great project of determining the direction of human evolution began 30 years ago and is constantly approaching perfection. It can be said that, at present, except for the rule domain in the theoretical stage, the other four domains can find the corresponding capabilities and their branches in the evolutionary tree diagram. ”

"And like our Valhalla, or the Dark Council, they all have instruments called the Ability Commissioner. In this way, those who meet the basic conditions will develop from the low-level to the middle-level and high-level. Of course, those who are capable in the wilderness can also be promoted through genetic potions. However, genetic drugs are generally defective, relatively stable and expensive, and can only provide the first stage of advancement at most, so they are not widely used. Valkyrie added: "And this is also the reason why mid-level and high-level abilities are only in the hands of large organizations, and there are only low-level abilities in the wilderness!"
