At the time of the apocalypse, almost half of them were scattered all around New York in sightseeing. Even a considerable number went to visit other states nearby, like New Jersey, Washington DC, Massachusetts and many other states at that side of the coastline.

There were only less than ten thousand students at the college right at the start of the apocalypse. And after the first quest, it was remarkable to know that over eight thousand of them survived that ordeal.

They weren't united. After all, they came from different countries. Despite the large number advantage they held, they lacked common leadership.

And that was why I was going there right now. If I managed to subdue them, then I would have a great amount of capable talents serving under my command.

The journey to the college took almost half an hour. We didn't pause for even a second thanks to my warriors and dragons.

In addition to that, many of the people following me showed their strength, especially Isabella and the other elites.

Isabella was special. She shone brightly under the pressure of such an enemy. No matter what, she just used her swords to kill, dancing all around without any moment of rest or hesitation.

She showed me a glimpse of what she would grow up to become, a legendary figure who was just serving under my command from the start.

How nice it would be if I managed to snatch many great figures early on in the apocalypse?

When we arrived at the location of the college, we were welcomed with its big space of thirty-five acres of area, and many large buildings.

But what was remarkable even from far away was the brightness of that place. It went without saying that people there were smart. Given the right minds, good equipment and materials they could do miracles.

They saw through the fatal weakness of the monsters in this stage. So it went without saying that the entire campus was surrounded by lights, and that wasn't all.

From what I read, many of these lights used the ultraviolet rays and sunlight as well. What did that mean? It didn't only emitted light, but also targeted other weaknesses of the monsters like their liability to warmth from sunlight and deadly UV rays.

They were smart! I couldn't take that from them. But even with such smart minds, they couldn't bring themselves all along under one unified leadership. And that was the sole reason which led to the demise of such a sizable force at quest five of the apocalypse.

"We are here," I said what wasn't needed to be said.

"Wow! They turned the entire campus into such a myriad of lights!" Isabella came and stood by my side. At this point, while walking down One hundred and thirty street, the waves of the monster dwindled here.

Despite the fact that it was impossible for such a grand place to lack any castles, the lights, warmth, and deadly UV rays helped in securing the place and scaring many monsters away.

Only the stupid hyenas remained behind. "Kill them all, clear the streets around the campus… Go!"

For the first time since walking out from that castle, I finally sat my forces loose. I didn't need to arrange many things here, only assigned dragons to hover over the entire area and scattered warriors to help the people on my side.

Isabella looked at me in doubt. She was a smart girl, and she must have noticed the bizarre act of mine here.

I had a reason. In front of such smart youths, words weren't going to do any good. If I needed to rally most of them under my banner, then I had to show them my value in a real demonstration of my strength.

That was why I finally released all my forces without any restraints. I had to show them how strong and mighty I was, the forces under me were, and made them accept me even before we even met!

"Let's stay here for now," I only kept five Bulltors, five shield warriors and three archers and wizards with me. It wasn't a big force but it was enough to secure my safety if anything went wrong.

I wasn't worried from monsters, but from the youths inside the college. It went without saying that amidst genius minds, arrogance was one of the biggest weaknesses you'd find.

I might be able to convince many with my actions, but whom of them wouldn't see through my real intentions here? Those who had the ambition to become leaders would be threatened by my show of strength.

Those would come and target me with their lackeys. Let them come, I dare them to do that.

After all this would help to prove another thing to those youths; I wasn't a merciful person or tolerable to any signs of revolt.

They either submit to me, or f*ck the hell off my face.

The sounds of battle emerged from all over the place. My forces were hungry to kill monsters, and hyenas were already vulnerable to begin with.

Not to mention my forces already were aware of the fatal weakness of these monsters. So the battles rumbled all around the campus, bringing many eyes to fall over what was going on outside.

I could feel many eyes looking at my direction. If they were smart as I took them for, they would know I was the leader of such an army.

I waited… Waited for a whole ten minutes before the first waves of youths got out from the campus. They looked like Indians, Africans, Europeans, and also Asians. Simply put; they came from all over the world and walked in small groups towards me.

"Wow! A welcome party is coming," Isabella mistook the different groups heading towards us to be friendly.

If they were, they should have stayed back in the campus or waited just at the main gate. I didn't say anything, and only looked high in the sky and simply raised my fist.

Without saying anything, my four dragons assembled from all around in less than a minute. Their sudden presence made the groups pause and didn't know what to do for a second.

Did I scare them too much? I didn't think so. They came here knowing whom they were going against.

In face of greed and arrogance, fear paled and even withered away.

They took only a couple of minutes before coming to a response. For the first time ever since the apocalypse, the different groups finally came to a consensus.

They merged together in one bigger group. Yet even if they managed to put their differences aside, the ones leading that group were still a myriad of bosses.

If a single ship had two bosses, it would be disastrous. Then what about dozens of bosses? I didn't need to worry about anything. Even with a large group of almost three hundred youths coming at me, I knew they weren't really unified as one like they tried to show.

"Welcome friends from the far," I was the first to speak when they came just one hundred metres away, "what good winds brought you here?"

"Who are you?"

"What business do you have with our campus?"

"You aren't welcomed here! Go back now and forget about this place."

Of course they saw through me, but who cared! I simply grinned devilishly in front of all these hidden and clear threats.

"C'mon, we are all here together in such a mess. Why not work together instead of fighting?"

At this point, if Isabella didn't understand what was going on then she wouldn't be that Isabella. She simply raised both swords in the air, prepared to fight at any given moment.

"Shall we call others back?" she asked without turning to me.

"No need," I shrugged in a casual way, "one doesn't need a cannon to get rid of a few flies."

Isabella went through a lot with me to understand my personality very well. She must have seen through my trap here. Everything was calculated, meticulously calculated to drive out such troublemakers early on and cleanse the campus of such people.

If those people remained inside, then they would be able to cause more harm than they could do right now. But I sent out most of my forces away, showing a vulnerability for them to seize.

And they were so impatient and pressured to jump at such an opportunity without even thinking rationally about it.

"We warned you," one big youth with dark skin said in a rude way, "don't blame us for killing you."

"If you have the ability to try, then I urge you to do so," I raised both hands holding my swords and shrugged as if I was helpless in such a situation.

"Attack!"

The fight erupted with a shout that came from within the group. I knew this battle was closely watched by the youths in the campus. Whoever won would gain great reputation and might be the long awaited leader of them.

But who said I was this weak to begin with?

"Move," I casually waved my sword at my dragons, "entrap them and kill a few at first. Let's see if this will knock some sense into their hardened skulls."

Despite knowing their ambition, I knew they weren't without great potential. It was a waste to lose such a big group of elite seeds without trying to subdue them first.

Of course I wasn't going to accept mere words of allegiance and loyalty. These might suit the normal kids inside the campus. But for those cubs, I had only my contracts to bind them to me.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!* Roar!*

Four mighty roars erupted and rumbled across the sky. The ground even shook the moment their deadly breaths went down and killed those brazenly running at the front.

Then as I said, they started to create a deadly circle of their breaths all around the group. The faces of these youths changed the moment they witnessed the true might of my dragons.

That was the reason I kept my dragons hovering high in the sky. In their eyes, my warriors were strong but they were few in numbers. They mistook their ability to overcome them with sheer numbers.

But what about my dragons? They would be dreaming if they thought for a second they were a foe for them. Even other races elites would have a hard time dealing with them.

As the dragons completed the encirclement, it was time for diplomacy.

"Surrender," I shouted in a domineering aura, "take your weapons back, sign these contracts with me and your lives will be spared."

"Don't listen to him! He is lying and will kill all of us once we surrender!"

A shout came from within, but before he could finish I simply snapped my fingers.

A single dragon moved and bathed the place where the sound came with a deadly fountain of blue lightning fire. Everyone's face paled even more while my voice came like it was from the depth of hell.

"I won't give you another chance to survive, and I hate playing games and wasting time. You have one minute to decide, whoever wants to live just raise his fist high up and I'll throw a contract over."

I said those words and closed up my eyes. If anyone dared to try his luck again, then he was playing with his life.

That mere attack of my dragon was precise, yet it killed a few of those around the one who spoke. At least ten died in that simple attack, and it happened in a blink of an eye.

They were prepared for a ground battle against my warriors, but facing my airborne dragons they lacked any means to even defend themselves.

"You are… really something," Isabella said from the side in a whispering tone.

"This apocalypse is harsh enough to live in," I simply said before the minute passed and opened my eyes.. "So we shouldn't fight among ourselves like this."
