Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Now that the three finished introducing themselves with each other and even exchanged banter. It was time for the serious talk.

Caleb's previous nonchalant demeanor turned serious. "Now that all the messy things are done. It's time for us to determine the direction of things and plan. Failing to plan is planning to fail. So what do you guys suggest?"

Hearing this, Mic and Ed nodded. Their expressions became serious as well. They could see that Caleb was the type of person with flexible thinking. He's funny at times and serious when it comes to business.

They also don't want to fail at the Elite Trial. Even if they don't win. At least they need to get far!

Ed scanned the environment they were in with a ponderous expression while tapping his feet on the ground. 'What should I suggest? Hmmm... First of all, we have to determine our leader.'

Then Ed looked at Adam thoughtfully. 'This guy isn't only powerful but he also has a powerful tamed beast. He's also smart and considers our opinion.'

Ed could see that Adam doesn't look down on them. One could see it by the fact that he even kindly asks for their suggestion. Not arrogant or overbearing unlike most geniuses.

As he thought of this, Ed smiled. "My suggestion is... You become our leader! First, you are the strongest of the three of us. Who has the bigger fist is the qualified leader. Second, you're also brainy and experienced. Your exploits at the beast tide says so. And lastly, I can see that you're a logical type of person that thinks objectively. You do not look down on people weaker than you or flaunt your strength."

Hearing this, Caleb couldn't help but be surprised. "Didn't expect that you had such a high opinion of me."

Ed scratched his head and smiled warily. "Nah, just speaking facts. Good leadership is one of the most important factors to succeed. That's what my grandfather who passed away last year told me."

Caleb nodded. He didn't comment on Ed's grandfather passing away since he didn't know if he would touch things he shouldn't have and just offered his condolences to Ed. Then, Caleb shifted his eyes to Mic who was thoughtful as well. 'It seems my teammates this time are quite reliable and take their time to think before speaking... What a breath of fucking fresh air.

Ed and Caleb just waited for Mic who seemed to be in deep thought.

"Well, I agree with Ed. You can be our leader. As for my suggestion, we must know our abilities and familiarize ourselves with each other's fighting style and powers. That way, when we encounter demon beasts or other teams. We would be able to synergize well and coordinate our fighting style seamlessly." With a calm expression, Mic continued. "Remove the awkward moves and refine our team work. I won't hide my abilities and skill. So guys, are you willing to reveal your card so we can work together smoothly? Are you willing to trust each other?"

"Trust is the basis of cooperation. Without it, everything would feel lacking and insincere. So, why not?" Caleb smirked. He can reveal some of his cards. He has a lot of cards so he didn't have scruples.

Ed nodded as well. "That way, we can also determine our roles and battle formation to avoid confusion."

Good guy! I didn't expect this Ed also knows how to think clearly!

Caleb praised Ed in his mind. "Well, for ones my genetic ability is well known to everyone. You know, the gum gum rubber domain that I've used in the Beast Tide. Although I know that you guys know how it works. I'll still explain how it works clearly. First of all, it lets me temporarily convert every matter within the range of my domain to gum gum rubber. It means they will have abnormal adhesive and stretchy characteristic of both gum and rubber..."

Ed put his hands on the back of his hand. "That's quite versatile ability. I've witnessed it for myself when you bound every demon beasts around you using the rocks that you've transformed into sticky chains. It can also be use for offense and defense and make the terrain to your advantage." Ed couldn't help but sigh. "Quite a scary ability."

Mic listened intently and began to formulate battle strategies on her head. 'That ability... Even without us he would do just fine. What a monster!'

"Well, aside from that. I have a transformation ability that lets me evolve to the genes that I've embedded in my first gene lock 'Devouring Skeletal Dragon'" Caleb divulged.

However, he doesn't think that he would have to use that ability at all unless he was forced to. Who could force him though? That transformation could only be use if there's an enemy that was stronger than even his grandfather who was at the peak of Saint Realm.

In the Spakatus Island they were in. There were no such existence. His normal strength, even without the help of his shadow assistants are enough to deal with bugs... Ehem... Students that still have milk on their mouths.

"Transformation ability? Aren't transformation ability only available to Extraordinary Realm Genetic Warriors??" Mic asked with question mark on her head. If she wasn't wrong, only the second realm could access the transformation ability.

It was Ed turned to be curious. Adam has just too many secrets and wonders around him. He has the urge to get to know him well.

'Mic is right... How?'

"Well, actually... I don't know actually. Just that, I've inexplicably had it after I've drank my very first gene potion. Do you guys have any idea?"

"Why do you ask me? Who would I ask?" Ed was at also at lost. It was the first time he heard a case of obtaining two abilities in the first realm. "So, you have to abilities as Awakening Realm? Gum Gum Rubber and a transformation ability??"

"I think Adam here must be a special case. There are really differences between people."Since they couldn't figure it out, Mic decided to not think about it. The more powerful Adam is, the better it was for them anyway.

Why waste brain cells?
