My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 233 What Will Be their Awakened Ability?
Keith clearly did not like Melody because he detected the subtle condescension in her voice whenever she spoke to him. She made it seem like Keith and his family were not contributing enough to the base and were merely wasting resources. He knew that Melody had been planning to kick them out of the shelter while his sister and Duke were still away, but fortunately, Hawk and Eagle were on their side.

His grandparents were also getting close to Mrs. Evans and the Evans brothers, as well as the father-daughter duo from the Blythes.

When Kisha heard what Keith said, she felt a prickling sensation in her heart vanish, and she found herself grinning at the news. Keith, however, didn’t read too much into it and assumed she was simply sharing his enjoyment of Melody’s misery. After all, Melody had an altercation with his sister, a fact he had only discovered from the Blythes’ daughter.

After a moment of distraction, Kisha returned to the topic at hand. “Has anyone discovered their awakened ability yet? Or are they still hiding it, thinking they’re some kind of special one?” she joked, trying to lighten the mood a little. She knew her little brother was stressed and worried about their grandparents, so she added reassuringly, “Don’t worry too much about Grandpa and Grandma. They will both awaken; you just need to take care of them for a little while.”

After hearing his sister’s reassurance, Keith relaxed a little. “Honestly, no one probably knows what’s going on. I assume that most of them, aside from Hawk and Eagle, are just relieved they didn’t turn into zombies after falling sick. Even Hawk and Eagle are still clueless about what they can do,” Keith said, shrugging his shoulders as he stared out the window into the distance.

“Hmmm, let me check that part then,” Kisha said before opening Hawk’s status window. This was possible because they were currently inhabitants of her territory; she didn’t need to ask them to join her team to access this information. As long as they were within her territory, all their information was visible to her whenever she wished to see it.

“Wait, you have that ability?” Keith asked excitedly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at his sister with reverence.

“Well, didn’t I choose that base as my territory? Since it’s my territory, I have complete access to everyone’s information, location, and whatnot. If they’re outside my territory, I would need to ask them to join my team to see it. It’s really similar to a simulation game where you’re building your own town,” Kisha patiently explained, confident that her brother would grasp the concept with that brief explanation.

“Woah!!! That’s so SICK! Doesn’t that make you really powerful, like a Goddess of your own domain?!” Keith’s eyes metaphorically turned into stars as he stared at Kisha, silently asking what else she could do. However, Kisha couldn’t provide all the answers, as there were still some aspects she didn’t fully understand herself.

When she had more leisure time, she needed to delve deeper into her territory interface. This would make it easier for the leaders to understand the functions and features of their authority within her territory. However, she had to ensure that only those under a slave contract or Heart Gu Pill were granted access. If individuals with malicious intent discovered this, they might exploit their authority and find loopholes to circumvent the system, potentially doing something unacceptable.

Once she saw Hawk’s name and avatar in the territory interface, she clicked on it. Hawk’s Live Avatar expanded to show his full form, along with his status window. This was the main distinction between directly viewing someone’s status window using ‘The Eye of Truth’ or the team panel connected to the system interface. The territory’s interface only displayed the avatar to confirm that the owner was viewing the correct person, while the system only displayed the status window with a simple avatar.

“Hoh! Look at these stats!” Kisha exclaimed in wonder. She then added, “Are you guys going out fighting some zombies for practice?”

“What?! What?! Did you see what awakened abilities they have?!” Keith eagerly asked, his excitement palpable.

“Well, Hawk has awakened a fire ability. Its destructive power is only second to lightning. The fact that he has a skill right after awakening was rare and his skill makes him become like a destructive tank. Eagle, on the other hand, awakened a water ability. It seems like he has a wide-area effect attack or defense, and he could practically live in the water if he wanted to,” Kisha analyzed based on what she could see from her end. However, it would be great to see both of them using their abilities for a better assessment.

“Wait! What?!” Keith yelped, jumping to his feet. “Doesn’t that make them incredibly formidable together? Two conflicting elemental abilities, but they could still function as a one-unit!” There was clear envy on his face as he started to compare his own awakened ability to those of Eagle and Hawk.

“Baby Brother, don’t even try to compare yourself to them—” Kisha started, but Keith cut her off angrily.

“Why?! Is it because I’m super weak compared to them?!” he nearly roared, his voice lowered only out of concern for their sick grandparents in the same room.

Kisha chuckled, seeing her brother’s face turn red. She found it cute and wanted to tease him but was afraid of hurting his pride. “Did you not know that ‘Mental Type’ abilities are rare? ‘Elemental Type’ abilities are the most common ones a person can awaken. The reason ‘Mental Type’ abilities are rare is because they have some of the greatest potential, just like how rare and destructive a ‘Lightning’ ability is.” If Kisha were beside Keith, she would have patted his head to console him, hoping to ease the pressure he was putting on himself through comparison.

“R-Really?!” After hearing his sister’s explanation, Keith felt a little rejuvenated and hopeful. He had been making great progress with the training in his awakened ability while following Kisha’s instructions.

“Have I ever lied to you?” Kisha replied, raising an eyebrow with a smirk playing on her lips.

After a moment of feeling happy, Keith answered Kisha’s earlier inquiry. “We only deal with small groups of zombies that manage to enter the perimeter or those near the base when we go out to assess the situation, but we barely fight.” He looked like he was really missing out on a lot of action and was itching to brandish his tomahawk axe to get used to fighting and increase his combat ability and instincts. However, he didn’t forget to add, “But we do daily training, like combat, tactics, and lifting.” He started to act smug in front of his sister, proud of how well he was keeping up with Ethan and their grandpa in training.

“Hmm. No wonder everyone’s stats are still a little low,” Kisha murmured, pondering the difference in Sparrow and Vulture’s stats compared to Hawk and Eagle, who had stayed at the base.
