Chapter 10, everyone must pay the price for their choices

He is truly outstanding. In the first week, he completed the tasks he set for himself every day without any laziness. While his peers were trying every possible way to slack off, he accomplished each task with high quality. Besides talent and strength, being a mixed-race individual seems to have also brought him 'stubbornness' and 'inflexibility'.

It is not because he is mischievous, but because he is a good student, sensible, obedient, eager to learn, and the kind of student that all instructors appreciate. Moreover, and most importantly, he possesses sufficient talent

Thus, in the fifth week, Carmo and the two technique instructors had to remind old Hoffman

Question 1: A spirit and a creature appear before you at the same time. You have a firearm in your hand that can confirm the death of either of them. Whom would you choose to shoot at?

No one will live in the past... unable to extricate themselves

Recently, I have encountered a minor issue, as the reports concerning the apprentice who just arrived a month ago have recently piled up on the entire desk

Friendship, in their eyes, is akin to dung; lovers are but dust to them; and the innocent multitude in the city is merely a sacrificial offering they acquire on their ascent to power

Only children make choices, while Marlin decisively opts for A and B, taking a shot at both the peculiar and the exotic

After going through this period of time, Marin has come to understand some stories of this world, and he also knows that personality tests often determine the future path of a child

Is this a choice? As a Chinese person who has read "Man Jiang Hong: Writing My Feelings," Marin would never consider touching the remains of his comrades, even if he were to consume living creatures raw.

Question 6: If you could achieve immortality, what price would you be willing to pay for it

Marin smiled and said, in this world, where is there eternal life? Even the extraordinary will face the day of death. Fearing death is not terrifying; what is truly terrifying is losing one's humanity in an attempt to avoid death

Therefore, when a child possesses such high talent, Carmo, apart from feeling joy that this child belongs to his church, is even more shaken by... the kind of persistence and greed that this child demonstrates on the path of pursuing power

Question 4: You see an alien species capturing an innocent person, using them to shield itself from your gun. What would you do

In an era dominated by chaos, only those with hearts of steel are qualified to survive

Question 3: Similarly, when faced with a creature and an alien species, and knowing that the alien species is a non-carnivorous and benign entity, whom would you choose to shoot at

Effort and diligence can change a person's destiny, but they cannot alter this disparity

Those fools tempted by chaos are left with only one path to death, for even if they become the so-called great demons and princes, they are merely pitiable creatures with distorted minds

If it were not for the brave team of technological hunters from Sydney United passing through that small town, the entire land would likely have sunk into despair

Question 7, which is also the final question

... ...

Marin pondered this question for three minutes, selecting D, Others, and wrote down the reason beneath the underline of D—given the premise that the mission of the alien species is to destroy everything, he would choose to shoot the fool who posed this question.

Personality test? "Marlin was somewhat curious

It is truly interesting; clearly, it is merely a parallel world of the steam age, yet there exists something like personality tests.

Is there any need to choose? Of course, I choose B, aiming at the alien species.

The person who set the question is definitely under control, so let's deal with this individual first.

As stated in question 6, no one can achieve immortality

The test is very simple, consisting of a few pages of paper, each containing one question after another, resembling multiple-choice questions, except that there are no so-called standard answers.

In other words, this child possesses enough talent to surpass peers of the same era.

Question 5: After the battle ends, you are very hungry, but there is no food on the battlefield except for the corpses of your comrades and the creatures. After confirming that neither is toxic, whose flesh would you choose to eat

Whether it is the human bloodline or the Frost Giant lineage within him, he is a quintessential child. The mysterious bloodline that can suppress the Frost Giant lineage in him is certainly not of a lowly existence. From the perspective of human understanding, the most apparent characteristic of a higher bloodline is the prolonged lifespan and growth cycle.

Three choices: one's own life, everything of one's own, all, and one optional fill-in-the-blank.

At that time, Karmo was just a cub, his parents having died in battle, and he, along with others, became the material prepared for the genius sacrifice.

If you had the opportunity to revive one of your friends, would you be willing to give everything for it

Meanwhile, his ever-increasing strength also led Karmo and his colleagues to discover a fact—this half-breed had been under the control of hunger until he was found by His Excellency Gaia. As a result, when food became abundant, the child's strength began to increase rapidly. The strength of 5 quickly transformed into 6 by the fourth week, a level that could only be achieved by an adult wild elf

Without any need for contemplation, Marlin chose A — to fire the gun at the first opportunity

This is the problem, he is too outstanding

In the second question, similarly, there is a spirit creature and a different species. Given that the spirit creature is known to be a non-human-eating good spirit, whom would you shoot at?

Marin paused for a moment and ultimately chose not to.

In the second week, when he began practicing Sydney military swordsmanship, a halo of genius appeared above his head—by the third day of learning swordsmanship, he had already swept aside apprentices of the same age. Aside from the difference in strength, this child possessed a talent for changing techniques that far exceeded that of his peers, and even many upperclassmen did not exhibit the abilities he demonstrated

Karmo, as a half-elf, has lived for thirty-five years, witnessing the madness of exceptionally gifted children lured by chaos onto a path of destruction, and has also witnessed their willingness to pay any price for the so-called immortality

According to the examination of the technique, this child is only eleven years old, no matter how extraordinary they may be.

Choose D, no one lives forever

Although major churches have consistently stated that every child is born into this world with the talents expected by the divine, it is well understood that being extraordinary is a talent, and being a competitive eater is also a talent. In other words, from the moment of birth, individuals do not start from the same starting line.

Those who are captured by the other species are essentially doomed. Many of these beings can even control their captured targets. Therefore, if one hesitates to protect their own life and puts themselves and the innocent they are safeguarding in danger, it is also unforgivable for Marlin

It is time to conduct a personality test for this child

Karmo, the new apprentice instructor of the Harvest Goddess Church

In the third week, when this child faced the second-grade apprentice for the first time and deflected the opponent's weapon during the initial training battle, the Grand Instructor explicitly praised this child by referring to him as a 'born warrior'.
