Chapter 36: F for Failure, Awakening the girls
Ray first excluded the girls who had already killed undead but had not awakened yet.
They could be used, but not for killing undead, but other humans because their bodies wouldn't be able to withstand the mutation energy and would instead start to deteriorate.
There were a total of 69 girls, and those who had killed undead before covered 15 girls, so excluding them, a total of 54 girls were left.
Ray guided them one by one to kill the undead, however, his expression gradually morphed into a frown because no one had awakened until now, until it was Gina's turn.
"I did it," Gina muttered with excitement in her eyes.
"Congratulations," Ray said. "What do you feel?"
"Umm, I think I can… I don't know." She frowned.
"Useless."
Ray uttered while he used his skill again to analyze her. This time he could see the mutation energy inside her body and used it to analyze it.
[Name- Gina]
[Status- Awakener (F-class)]
[Skill: Weapon master]
[Mutation energy: 1]
[Mutation energy currently in the body: 1]
"Oh, weapon master?" Ray raised his brows with a surprised expression; it was the first time that he had seen such a skill.
And the potential of such a skill was extremely low at the F-class, which pretty much meant failure.
If I got such a grade, I would probably be kicked out of the house in his childhood.
"She really is a failure," Ray looked at Gina.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Ray?" Gina said nervously.
A smile crept across his face as Ray walked up to her, patting her shoulder with warm eyes.
"Don't worry, even if you are a failure, I will take care of you. Everyone has their own potential, you just have not uncovered it."
Ray spoke eloquently like a classified politician.
If it was given as a speech, everyone might clap in the venue, but this was in the wrong place and wrong context!
Everyone looked at Gina weirdly.
It would be common sense to praise her since she had awakened, but Ray was giving this weird speech.
"Cough, cough."
Ray coughed lightly, noticing the awkward scene.
"Hey, Gina, catch it," Ray casually threw a pistol.
Gina was caught off-guard, however, something inside her seemed to have changed.
She gracefully caught the gun, rotated it, and shot at the undead which was far away.
Instantly, five undead who were roaming around had their heads explode.
"Not bad," Ray blew a whistle.
"How did this happen?" Gina was shocked, her hand holding the gun trembled.
"That's your ability, you are a weapon master. As long as you have mutation energy, you can use weapons in a master's way."
Ray casually stated.
Although his analyzer skill wouldn't allow him the ability to have a detailed description of the skill, but through the name, he could pretty much tell the ability and what it does.
"Do you feel that something inside of you has drained?"
"Yes," Gina nodded her head.
"Good, that will increase as you kill undead, and if you accumulate enough, you will be able to advance."
"Alright."
Ray looked at the other girls.
There were still quite a few girls left who still haven't killed the undead yet, so he could let them give it a try.
After all, there were 54 girls there, there should be at least five who should have awakened.
However, to Ray's disappointment, he watched as the sun set in the sky and the last girl killed the undead, nothing happened.
Including Gina, there were only two girls who had awakened.
They were collectively: Daisy and Kate, and they were both sisters as well.
They awakened as E-class, one was a healer skill, and the other was a weird animal language skill.
Ray was actually confused that the Animal language skill was evaluated as E-class, comparable to his own initial skill Body-strengthening, but the Weapon master skill was only classified as a failure?
"Is it because of their future potential?"
He squinted his gaze in contemplation.
Then his necromancer skill was evaluated as B-class, then his power in the future would be terrifying? Considering that Ray could create an army entirely consisting of dead, even more terrifying than undead, it was likely the case.
He was actually confused because this skill was only B-class. Ray couldn't imagine how powerful higher-class skills were.
"Let's clear all the undead here first." Ray looked at the gathered undead and took out his machete.
Since his body stats have already become insane, it didn't take much effort for him to kill them.
Just one slash, and at least twelve heads would fall to the ground. That was how inhumane he was.
So he didn't need to waste his precious mutation energy to summon undead and do his jobs.
As Ray soloed the undead, all the girls looked in admiration with their eyes flashing with various intent.
The night soon fell, and Ray casually rubbed the sheen of his machete with a satisfied smile.
In his body, mutation energy was abundant, almost overflowing.
He had basically cleared all the undead in the area now, with not a single undead alive.
Although there were level one undead, he could just one-shot them, as for level two, they were non-existent to his relief.
"Let's go." Ray walked inside after binding the six level one undead he had already killed.
For a period of time now, there will probably be no undead here, and Ray can relax.
His strength was still not enough though.
He looked at the silent girls as if awaiting his order.
There was an air of seriousness here, except for Gina, Kate, and Daisy, of course, they were relatively lively, and the extra addition of Vanessa who was completely clueless.
If it is an ordinary person who doesn't have the chance to awaken, then they couldn't kill undead, and killing other humans were in rare cases, other than those times, they were basically useless.
Most of the girls have already known the cruelty of the apocalypse already, so they were nervous, because they were basically useless for now.
However, Ray didn't think they were useless.
Who will spread his genes if he doesn't?
