Chapter 47

Fragile Eternity

  “Try to throw it.” said Nishi to Lara while handing her a dagger. Lara faced the practice dummy and readied herself before she threw the dagger. After Lara threw the dagger, Nishi laughed cynically because the dagger flung away and didn’t even get close to the target.

  “Aren’t you suppose to teach me how to throw it?” Lara shouted upsetly but also felt embarrased.

  Suddenly Nishi got serious. He looked at Lara cynically and focused himself before throwing the dagger. He hit right at the center of the target.

  “The key is practice. Go practice until you get used to its shape, weight and direction.” he said shortly then left.          

  “What the hell was that?!” shouted Kris angrily at Nishi after seeing Nishi’s treatment towards Lara.

  “Shouldn’t you teach her some technique or the right posture when throwing the dagger?” added Kris.

  “Stop meddling in people’s business! I’ll do it my way. Just accept it or leave it!” responded Nishi. Kris infuriated but he couldn’t do anything.

  Luhan came to Lara and tried to help her.

  “Do you need any help? I can teach you how to throw the dagger.” offered Luhan.

  “Thanks, but you throw it using telekinesis right? I should throw it by myself so I can get used to it.” refused Lara.

  Just as hard as she had been practicing all this time, she also did her best in practicing with the dagger. After throwing it a few times, she could completely analyze the dagger. Nishi was right. She needed to get used and acknowledged its shape, weight and movement when she threw it. She was ready to throw the dagger and planned to hit the target. She concentrated, focusing herself and she could feel the Krusnik Nanomachine inside her helped her boost her power. She aimed and finally threw the dagger.

  “You did it, Lara!” shouted Baekhyun who supervised Lara’s training together with Kai, Kris, Lay, and Tao eventhough she didn’t hit it right in the middle of the target. But at least she didn’t miss it like last time.

  “I think I should try again.” Lara said.

    Four hours after Lara started the training finally she could get used to throwing the dagger. She could finally hit the target right in the middle.

  “You’re really good at throwing the dagger now, Lara. I think it’s time to tell that guy and teach you other weapons.” said Kai.

  “Nah, I’m not sure I have learn it well. It will be more difficult in real battle, the target won’t stay still.” replied Lara not too satisfied with her achievement.

  “Glad you notice.” said a voice suddenly. They looked at the source of the voice and found Nishi. He had been monitoring Lara’s progress behind their back.

  “But don’t worry. This training room will provide you with the challenge of a real battle.” he said as he push the control button on the wall. Next second, the practice dummy started moving and made it hard to be hit.

  “Now let’s see how you hit them.” challenged Nishi as he asked Lara to throw the dagger at the moving target. At the first try she missed. Nishi smiled arrogantly.

  “Watch me.” he said shortly as he focusing himself, he stopped for a while to analyze the target’s movement. He positioned the dagger and aimed. He managed to hit the target.

  “This isn’t just a normal dagger. You see the dagger’s handle contains silver powder. Once it hit the object, the dagger will rip open the flesh and tansfer the silver powder. Highly effective even if you missed vital bodyparts.” explained Nishi as he showed her the dagger’s handle.

  “Now you try it.” he asked.

  Lara felt motivated and challenged as she failed at the first try. She tried to focus more and readied herself. Each time she focused herself, she could felt the Nanomachine inside her boosted her with energy. She closed her eyes for a brief second and took a breath. She opened her eyes and started to analyze the target’s movement just like Nishi did. She aimed and threw the dagger. It hit the dummy’s right in the middle. Even better than when Nishi threw it. Nishi got a little bit surprised after seeing Lara threw the dagger.

  “Try to hit another one.” he said after a while.

  It was easy thing to do as the Nanomachine boosted her with power to stay focused and she could hit the target easily. This time it was even faster than before.

  Nishi looked at Lara and amazed.

  a What the hell look could be seen on his face.

  “What’s next?” asked Lara unwavering.  Nishi then took the suitcases that he and Thomas brought and opened it. He took out a handgun.

  “This is Magnum Handgun. The most powerful handgun. It’s different from the usual handgun because we added this special tube on top of it.” said Nishi while pointing at the handgun.

  “The tube contains UV light so it makes us easier to penetrates Methuselah’s body and shoot bullet at them. The bullet itself is made from silver so any direct contact, moreover if you shoot it close to the vital bodyparts, it will be severe.” added Nishi.

  “The UV light won’t affect the practice dummy though. It will only be effective in real battle. Now, go practice and shoot it until you get used to it. For now, use this bullets, save the silver bullet for the actual combat.” commanded Nishi again.

  Lara didn’t want Nishi to feel suspicious of her so she pretended to miss hitting the target. No doubt she’d easily hit on the target using her Krusnik Nanomachine’s help. Nishi was about to leave after that.

  “Wait up!” said Kris while holding Nishi’s shoulder.

  “Do you have more of those weapon? I think it will be useful for us now that its easier to harm Methuselah using those specialized weapon..” asked Kris.

  Nishi didn’t reply. Instead, he approached the wall on the left side and pushed some button on the wall. One second later a medium-size drawer appeared. It contains dozens of different type of weapons.

  “Take your pick.” Nishi said again and left afterwards.

   The boys from EXO Planet were amazed and dumfounded that a secret room contained various kind of specialized weapons and training room exist in Clarence’s residence. Well, since they already possesed great supernatural power maybe those weapons weren’t really necessary. But, since it made them easier to kill the enemy why not use the chance to practice and use it?

  After that, Kris ordered Lay, Kai, and Baekhyun to also practice using the weapons suited them the most since their power were also more like defensive than offensive.

  Kris chose to use the Pistols with the UV Light Tube, Lay chose the Multifunction Crossbrow, Kai picked the Spiked Sword, while Baekhyun chose the Spear.
