Chapter 84 Testing Me



I let out a sigh, and the door opened to the bottom of the wall. I was turned away from it and didn\'t bother turning around.

"Face forward! Stand at attention!"

That grated me, but I did as told and turned on my heel. I stomped my foot down, and the earth cratered with the pressure that was coming off me, and pounded my fist to my heart, staring forward.

"So the beast can follow orders, even if he has some attitude. I am surprised that you would sit in one spot for this long," The woman in a formal uniform said in a sarcastic tone.

Wow, talk about instantly not like a person the moment you lay eyes on them. I breathed in deeply and remembered Penny\'s words.

"I am here to help in any way that I can," I said in a flat tone.

"Oh, I know what you are here for! You are the brave fighter that took down a single undead! So valiant! That is not how we do things here! We have rules, and they are meant to be followed. If you can\'t do that, then people could die. You aren\'t needed or wanted if you won\'t do that!" Karla snapped at me.

"I am here to help in any way that I can. I have waited, and I will do as you ask and nothing else," I said in a lower and much deeper voice as the air crackled around me.

I needed to keep calm, but my frustration with the tone of this woman was squeezing it out of me.

"Karla! Galio came here because I asked. That was only after you asked me. Galio is doing his best not to lose his temper because I asked him to treat you with respect, but you are not doing the same!" Penny snapped suddenly, and both Karla and I looked away from each other.

There was something about this woman that bothered me, but it wasn\'t her attitude.

It was that I felt like I deserved it, but that was stupid and part of the reason why I had been so close to flying off the handle.

"I am sorry, Penny. You are right, but there is something about someone that only does what they think is right that bothers me. I know that this one is like that, and they are far stronger than they should be! The girls shouldn\'t think that they can rely on someone like that!" Karla said in a bitter tone that stung because it was true.

I wouldn\'t be staying to protect the wall after this, but I planned on making it, so this was a safe place to be. That was the whole point of me going to deal with Morgana, but I could see Karla\'s point.

"I understand now. You are worried that I will go and make a big show by helping in places that I shouldn\'t. You want the girls to know that their job will be the same today as it is tomorrow, right?" I asked, and Karla nodded, still looking angry.

"Exactly! If you can prove to me that you can do the task that I ask for without breaking formation or task, then I will start treating you like the others. Until then, you are just a liability that is more than likely going to get people killed that we need," Karla said and turned. "Follow me."

"Thank you for holding back with her. Karla has lost a lot of people over the years, and lately, it has been getting harder. Fewer Islands are sending people to defend the walls because everyone knows it\'s a job you do till you die. That\'s why I come to help every day," Penny explained as we followed the Commander inside to the stairs.

"Things are hard enough right now as it is, and it isn\'t that I don\'t want your help. I know you are stronger than anyone here, but I also know that you are a loose cannon that does what you want. Just because you are strong doesn\'t mean you don\'t have to follow the same laws and rules as everyone else," Karla said as she walked in front of us.

I had made this bed, and now I was going to have to lie in it. This was the reputation that I had earned, and now I was going to have to prove that I could be more than a destructive force.

"What do you want us to do first?" I asked as we got to the third flight of stairs.

I could hear the sounds of battle and the groans and roars coming from an opening up ahead. I was getting excited, but I kept control of my emotions.

"Penny will take her position as normal with the lower guard on this level, and you will come with me to the top. You received Breya\'s blessing, so I know that you have wings, so I want you to recon for us today since we just lost one of our Angels. You should be fine with it since it is one of the most dangerous jobs," Karla said, but the mention of a death made me twitch.

"Absolutely, but there is more to this, right?" I asked, and Karla nodded.

"No visible magic. You can\'t cast spells, or you will draw an aerial horde, and we can\'t let that get through the barrier. Your job is to remain low profile as you fly to see what is starting to wake up. We need to know how many Titan class undead are getting up from the ground and where there are," Karla explained.

"I can do that without even going past the barrier or whatever you have set up there. I have special eyes that can see really far with magic, and I can get a full count quickly if that is okay?" I asked but then added, "I will need to have someone who can record everything."
