Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

A little while later at the stadium…

"Oh, so you all chose to evolve last night huh?… Good, I like it when people are proactive" Muku spoke soon after the women from the previous day came to receive him.

As an advanced Rank Two Evolver, he could easily identify lower-ranked Evolvers even without them using their abilities. Not to mention Freya's group who still couldn't properly control their mana aura. Which was leaking all over the place.

After hearing his words the women heaved a sigh of relief internally. They were worried that even though he gave them the option he actually wanted them to wait for him. So, by not waiting, they might have offended him and made him think they had big heads or something like that. Fortunately for them, things didn't turn out like that.

"Y…Yes, we felt that we had bothered you enough." Freya, who had somehow become the women's spokesperson, replied meekly as usual.

"No, no. I wouldn't have minded. After all, it was my choice to help you all. So I won't ever feel bothered by you all… as long as it's nothing too much. And like I said before, I appreciate people who can take the initiative, so either way, you're good," Muku responded to Freya's statement in a way that reassured her group.

"O-okay, thank you again for helping us" Freya replied, taking the chance to express her group's gratitude once again.

Sure, no problem. Why do you seem sad though?" Muku accepted the gratitude and then asked about something that he had noticed since his arrival.

Freya's voice was lower than before, and there were bangs under her eyes due to lack of sleep; then there was the bleakness in her eyes that wasn't there before. She seemed like someone who had their lives sucked out of them and was just living for the sake of others.

"Oh… ah… It's nothing. Just a little inconsequential problem of mine. It doesn't matter" Freya replied in a way that seemed to try and play down whatever was happening.

"Umm, okay. If you say so. I hope whatever it is gets sorted out soon" Although Muku could tell that something significant was happening with Freya. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

Since the person herself didn't want to tell him whatever it was. There was nothing he could do about it. He wouldn't try to dig deeper or force her to tell him since they weren't that close. In fact, they were just acquaintances at that point, if the relationship was to be labelled.

"She's sad because she awakened a useless class!" A loud gloating voice was heard from the group behind Freya.

When the others searched for the source, it turned out to be an arrogant-looking average in beauty lady. The others in Freya's group immediately understood what was going on. The lady had been doing things similar to that for the past few days after all.

What Muku and his group didn't know was that their interacting with Freya more than the others made the rest jealous. While it was something Muku would have expected from a normal group in a normal setting. He would never expect such a thing from a group that has basically reached rock bottom. Sadly, he was mistaken, humans will always be humans.

The jealousy especially developed after the hug between Freya and Muku that went unpunished. While the others were rational enough to keep their jealousy tucked away since they knew their situation. Apparently, that one lady felt super insulted for some reason. And she had been targeting Freya every chance she got from then on.

She just hadn't done it in front of Muku's group since she never got a reason to. But after what Freya reviewed to them the previous night. Like a snake that had been waiting to strike, the moment the chance presented itself, she struck!

"Is that so?… And who are you again miss?" Muku asked two questions curiously.

Freya just stood by the side, her face blue, feeling betrayed. After all, while the lady had said some hurtful things before, it was when they were among their own people. Which was a lot different from the current situation, where such information could hurt her badly if Muku decided to leave her behind when he took the others to rank up.

"Yes sir. My name is Lisa. Freya here told us that she awakened some dumb class called House Heart. Like, what kind of class is that, right?" Lisa didn't answer what she was asked. She even added a little more information to hurt Freya even more.

"Wow, House Heart huh?… What a weird name indeed. Is it like a random class or something? Truly unfortunate" Muku exaggeratedly replied, seemingly encouraging Lisa to say more.

Freya's expression got worse seeing his unfeeling reaction. She felt betrayed for some reason. Which was rather unreasonable since they went so close for him to defend her no matter what. But then again, when was the heart ever logical?.

"Oh no, she said it's a Unique Class or something like that. I've never heard of it. But I think it makes sense; after all,, it is uniquely trashy" As Freya's thoughts and feelings were a mess, Lisa continued speaking. The woman really wouldn't shut up if given a chance to speak.

"Well now, so it's a Unique class huh?... And what's your class?" Muku spoke with a smile on his face. Which Lisa took as motivation to say more. As for Hope, Emily and Elsa, who were standing beside Muku, they knew that things weren't as they appeared.

What Lisa and the others didn't notice was that while he was smiling, his eyes were cold. That was something that only his teammates who knew him personally could tell. He, in fact, despised Lisa's behaviour; they were just waiting for the moment he blew.

"My class?...it's nothing special. Just the Rare class Wind Whisper" Lisa replied to his question with an arrogant look on her face, the opposite of her words that seemed modest.

"Oh. A rare class huh..." Muku replied and trailed off at the end.

BOOM!

Suddenly his aura exploded and smashed down on Lisa. She who had been in the moment before confusedly found herself in hell. Her whole body was enveloped by imaginable pain and she couldn't move. The worst part, she couldn't even scream to somewhat ease the pain.

Emily and Hope, who had long seen it coming, protected everyone when their auras. Which was rather easy since Muku hadn't lost it, otherwise just the two of them might have had trouble with cancelling out his aura alone.

Freya and the others from the base looked on with blank minds. They were so shocked and confused that they couldn't think of anything. Wasn't he just smiling at her a while before?? Why was she now pressed to the ground and why did he look so mad??

Freya's heart rate couldn't help but quicken when her brain started working again. Is he doing it for me? Does he secretly like me and can't take her insulting me anymore?

Such thoughts went through her mind. Despite knowing that she was likely deluding herself. She still couldn't stop herself from hoping that maybe she really was the reason for his anger. Her cheeks reddened a little bit.

That's when she felt danger all of a sudden. Which was an ability every Evolver had to a differing degree. She looked in the direction she sensed the danger from. It was beside Muku. The source, the golden-eyed girl who was looking at her with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. Her slightly racing heart immediately went cold. Surprisingly, the feeling of being in danger also disappeared at the same time.

{What was that? Are my senses malfunctioning because of my terrible class?. Well whatever the reason, I think I should stay away from her if possible} Freya thought to herself after the feeling disappeared.

"YOU DARE LOOK DOWN ON A RARE CLASS WITH JUST YOUR RARE CLASS?!! Muku roared angrily at Lisa while walking towards her.

"Let me educate the ignorant you then. You see if a Random Class is a house cat. A Rare Class a leopard. Then a Unique Class is a freaking Sabertooth Tiger! So next time before calling something or someone trash, better know what you're talking about" Muku's voice returned to normal as he slowly walked to Lisa's side.

He then grabbed the back of her neck and raised her up. Then he threw her into the sky. The woman was thrown around twenty metres into the sky when Muku wasn't even trying. She then started plummeting to the ground. Just as she was less than thirty centimetres away from the ground, she stopped.

While she couldn't move or make a sound. Her eyes showed all the terror she felt. She even wet herself from terror. Then Muku made her float in the air in front of him to face him. She looked at him with nothing but fear in her eyes which were already filled with tears. Yet Muku wasn't made.

"But that's not even the problem since you aren't well informed. The problem is trash allies like you who easily sell out their teammates like that just to please strangers. I hate trash like that the most. But since you haven't done anything too major. I will let you go with a warning this time. Do it again and we'll have a real problem. Either get in line or leave" Muku continued speaking to Lisa after scaring her a bit more. Such people need such treatment, or they will always be plotting something in the background.

He then retracted his aura and his powers, making Lisa fall to the ground with a little thud. There was zero gentleman-like behaviour from start to finish.

Lisa, who fell to the ground and felt significant pain, didn't scream. Even though she could sense that she was free to do whatever she wanted, she didn't dare do anything. She was that traumatised by Muku. She was, after all, one of those lucky few like Freya, who didn't get defiled.

So she hadn't gone through anything as traumatic since the beginning of the apocalypse. On top of that, before the apocalypse, she was the pampered daughter of a minister. So to say that she was fragile in every way was an understatement. Of course, some daughters of ministers were strong, but she wasn't one of them...
