"This is one of the training camps for the Tritans, and I obviously train them so as to make them capable enough to protect themselves and fight against those that brought them pain, agony, and fear!"

After repeating Jennifer's words in his mind, Jason was not sure what to make of it.

Learning to protect themselves was good, but fighting against those who brought them pain, agony, and fear was no different than the path he was about to take for himself.

He wanted to take revenge on the Myldra, Burane and Ifrytor races, and initially, his plan was to completely eradicate the three races.

Fortunately, he had already realised that this was not the right course of action. Instead, it was much better for him to weed out the perpetrators, and not to lash on innocent people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be any better than those he took revenge on, maybe he would become even worse! Despite all the deaths at his hand, he still could not think of himself as a mindless executioner.

Thus, he couldn't help but look carefully at Jennifer, whose expression made him worry a little bit.

From the looks of it, Jennifer was unable to think rationally when talking about fighting against those that brought 'pain, agony and fear', as such, Jason assumed that she was personally involved in this. The determination with which she spoke those words could only mean that she had suffered and now sought vengeance.

It may not be his business, but looking at Jennifer, Jason could somehow see himself after having lost Scorpio, and his masters.

At one point, he had been just like her, wanting to annihilate and reduce everything to smoke and ashes. It was only because of his father's intervention, that he had been able to return to the right path and look at everything through a rational lens.

His situation had been a little bit different because of the Infernal Celestia issue he had to face, but that made it only more important for Jason to interfere in Jennifer's personal business.

To him, it didn't matter that he was just getting to know her, but realizing that she was a nice young woman who rescued others from the grasp of the old-fashioned Aeus and Devirs made him believe that she was innately kind, and not as cruel as her expression indicated.

Ignoring the eerie atmosphere, he released his Celestia aura, amplified by his Stigma that began to shine brightly.

Enlarging the aura that seemingly pushed away from the eerie sensation, he said.

"Taking revenge is not bad, but don't hurt innocent people!"

His serious tone showed that he didn't think of her words lightly, and only a moment later, Jennifer nodded her head.

"Yes, of course, we are different from them!!"

Hearing this made Jason smile lightly before he asked something he was curious about.

"You said this is only one training camp. Does that mean Luna controls multiple training camps? I guess there are more beings at Luna's cultivation stage who create the foundation of the Tritans, otherwise, the Devirs and Aeus would have already decimated them, right?"

Jennifer just nodded her head again, before she changed the topic.

"I don't know much about the Tritans either, but master told me that they're trustworthy. So, I trust them too, and it's good that I can help Variants, Mutants, and double awakened Manyrs!

But all of that is not important right now! I want to see you fight with all your strength!!!"

After that, she wanted to tease him a little so she added.

"Or, are you trying to evade fighting because you are too weak!?"

Even though he sensed that she was teasing him, Jason decided to join her, acting as if his pride was hurt. Sounding indignant, he replied,

"Weak? I'm everything but weak! Restrict your strength to my cultivation base, and I will show you who is weaker among us!"

Smiling proudly, Jason had to suppress a chuckle, only for Jennifer to eye him.

However, instead of rising to the bait, she simply said with a flick of her hair.

"If you defeat two cadets, I'll allow you to fight me!"

With this, Jason realised that Jennifer was extremely proud of her strength, which was something that was ought to happen.

While she had every right to be proud, it was also something that could become a hindrance for her in the future. Jason had seen too many instances of things going awry with prideful people.

'She is probably known for defeating those stronger than her because of her three cultivated paths, and young age.'

This was only logical, but at the same time, Jason wanted to show her what defeat tasted like if she were to underestimate him.

Despite that, he accepted her condition as he nodded his head, only to smile confidently as he added.

"Please choose the cadets I will have to defeat before I'm allowed to fight you!"

A ghost of a smile appeared on her face on hearing him that vanished as quickly as it had appeared. In a matter of minutes, one double awakened human and a Devir with only one awakened cultivation vein and a water affinity seed inside his mana core stood in front of Jason.

"Zar, and Eran, please fight Jason!"

The Devir and human nodded their heads before they asked in unison.

"Who should fight him first?"

Excitement could be heard in their voice, and Jason assumed that they were sensing their chance to receive some brownie points, and get in Jennifer's good books if they were to defeat him.

As such, both wanted to fight Jason first, yet, at the same time, he could also sense a faint trace of fear radiating from them, which made Jason wonder.

'Are they afraid of her?' He suddenly asked himself, only to hear Jen saying,

"First? Don't be ridiculous...I want you two to fight Jason together!"

This caused Jason to look at Jennifer for a moment before the corner of his lips curled upwards.

'She noticed it?' He assumed, thinking that she realised that he was not all that worried after seeing the Zar, the Devir, and Eran, the human with two awakened cultivation veins

While Eran was at the peak of the Lique stage in both the path of Pryr and Spiral, and would soon solidify his first prismarine crystal in his spirit sea; Zar had already solidified a prismarine crystal in his mana core, turning him into a being at the Initial stage of the Prismar stage.

Because of that, both were confused as they heard Jennifer's words, only to see Jason's smirk.

"Why should we team up to fight against this weakling? He is barely at the late 4th Lique stage?!"

Zar was unable to control his emotions and felt ridiculed by Jennifer's opinion of his strength. This made her team's two beings with a combat prowess at the Prismar stage against Jason, the so-called weakling feel indignant.

Hearing Zar's outburst had no effect on Jason save his smile that only widened further.

"If you want, you can fight against me first, alone. I have no problem with that."

Saying that he turned towards Jennifer only to add,

"You can choose another cadet for the second fight if you want!"

Confident in his own capabilities, there was no need for Jason to hold back.

If someone was strong, but not confident in their strength to overwhelm others, the exhibited combat prowess would be reduced drastically.

Thus, even if Jason would truly be weaker than his opponent, he wouldn't back off as long as he sensed even the slightest probability of overpowering his opponents by using his combat experience and special traits.

However, right now, this slightest probability had morphed into a huge chance, and Jason didn't even feel the pressure radiating from the Devir, who was able to wield water, even if the young man was trying his best.

The Devir didn't even look as hideous as the Devirs he had seen before, and except his skin color, the leather-like skin, his horns, and wings, there was not much of a difference to a normal human.

Yet, with that thought, Jason wondered what normal humans even were, which made him smile. Noticing that smile, Zar, who felt that it was directed at him, was immediately provoked.

"Let's spar, right now!!!"
