"Goodbye, Jin Walt, the cursed child." (Alex)
As Alex was walking towards the exit of the cave, he suddenly felt mana concentrating behind him. He looked back and found that the cursed child which he had stabbed through the heart was still standing and his mana was concentrated toward his heart.
"I didn't expect you to betray me too, Alex… What a disappointment…" (Jin)
Jin concentrated his mana to stop the bleeding forcefully and temporarily patched his heart with mana. An ordinary awakener could never do such a feat.
Jin has always been extremely talented when it comes to mana control and he has mastered the ability to manipulate the mana of his body to a great extent. (This might sound simple but forcefully patching your own heart with a mana barrier is no small feat, even if it's temporary.)
Jin brought out his great sword from his space ring and pointed it toward the three of them.
"Well it's not like I expected anything in the first place…" (Jin)
"How can that be!?" (Alex)
Looking at Jin, Alex panicked and tried to run, he knew he was no match for Jin in the first place, and the only way to take him down was to backstab, but that failed too. Now there's no other way out, but to run and get out of this cave.
If they get out of the cave they will be in the monitoring by the teachers and will be saved from dying.
But how could Jin have left them to go after what they did…
(By the way, Jin still has a sword made out of the bones of three individuals in his space ring…. Although it's unclear how he smuggled those bones out of the dungeon….)

Twenty years before Rio's transmigration.
The human VS Orc war, Northern cold valley.
A human could be seen standing on the head of the dead body of a huge giant Orc. The Orc's body, this Orc once used to be an A-ranker and the leader of the Northern invasion platoon's commander.
However, now this Orc is lying down in the middle of a huge crater, peacefully with a great sword pierced through his head. All the previous chaos and loudness of the battlefield has died down all of a sudden. Whether it be human or Orc, everyone on the battlefield is looking at the human with shock.
But the human didn't care about the odd looks of those around him, he picked up his sword and pointed it towards the sky while saying loudly:
"The general of the opponent army has been defeated! LONG LIVE THE IMPERIAL HUMAN ARMY!!!" (Jin)
"YEAH!!"
"YEAH!!"
Everyone cheered up after the opponent was taken down, just a few minutes ago that giant Orc was raging on the battlefield trampling over humans like ants. But the next second a great sword came flying and pierced the head of the Orc pinning him down on the ground and creating a huge crater. The shockwave even killed the weaker Orcs around the crater.
"Hey look at that cape, that guy must be Jin Walt, The commander of the Northern defense command!"
"Indeed I saw him while I was serving on my previous duty point. He indeed is strong but…"
"But what?"
"But that guy is famous for his cruelty on the battlefield-"
Just as the guy was about to finish his sentence Jin turned his face towards him and threw his sword, the sword pierced the guy and killed him in an instant.
While everyone was still shocked Jin simply said:
"Don't disrespect your superiors and focus on the battle!" (Jin)
Hearing Jin, everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spine they immediately resumed their battle. With the death of the opponent general, the Orc army fell into chaos and started to retreat.
"Where do you think you are going!! I haven't had enough fun yet!!" (Jin)
With a crazed smile on his face, Jin immediately jumped into the retreating group of Orcs and started a one-sided massacre of the Orcs. Bodies upon bodies continued to pile up, and as Jin's face was smeared by the blood of the monster his crazed mentality started to make him look like a monster in the eyes of the other awakeners.
(Jin's title- 'the tiger of the North' originated around the time he used to fight in the northern region at that time he was still an A-ranker. That was the time when he used to be a cruel and indifferent person, he was crazy for blood and killing.)

A few days later, the Northern defense force, Headquarters.
Several A-rankers and other high-ranking members could be seen sitting in a hall. All of them seemed to be listening to the plans for the upcoming battles. The vice-commander is the one describing all the plans while Jin and everyone else is providing their opinions every once in a while.
"So, you are saying that we need to rescue a whole squadron which has been surrounded by the most elite force of the Orcs, how come those elite Orcs didn't come my way?" (Jin)
"Well, to tell you the truth commander, the last overwhelming loss of the Orcs in your hands must have caused them to make a change in their attack strategy, they might be getting help from the demons this time." (Vice-commander)
"Or this could simply be a way to lure you away from the headquarters to that snowy plain-" (Vice-commander)
"Hah, I don't care about what traps they are trying to lay, I will just break through them all!" (Jin)
"W-well, but-" (Vice-commander)
"No buts! Get the awakeners ready, we are going to rescue the squadron immediately! Meanwhile you can take care of the headquarters yourself!" (Jin)
"O-okay…" (Vice-commander)
As Jin said that he immediately dismissed the meeting and walked out of the hall, after he left everyone else also started to leave the meeting hall one by one.
'I bet he just wants to fight with those elite Orcs. He doesn't even give a damn about rescuing the squadron, sigh~' (Vice-commander)
'Well, I have no choice, he might cut me in two pieces if I refused to obey, sigh~' (Vice-commander)
.
.
The Snowy plains of the far north.
"Commander, it seems that the squadron is still holding out somehow due to the several Fire mages among them and that mage over there, she must be the squadron leader, Anna Datt."
The person looked beside him after he finished the report and found that Jin has already left and he has been talking to the air the whole time. He sighed in frustration and immediately ordered the other awakeners to start the rescue operation too.
Jin found the area with the highest rank Orcs and immediately rushed at them at immense speed. While rushing he destroyed the pathway and all the Orcs that got in his way were killed by the mere air pressure created by his rush.
What followed was a one-sided slaughter again.
"There indeed are some strong Orcs to slay, hahahaha….. Die you pigs, hahahahah!!" (Jin)
After a few minutes of fighting the rescue was successfully commenced and all the awakeners were now ready to retreat to the nearby post. The only problem was that Jin simply refused to stop the slaughter of the Orcs.
"Uh, commander! The Orcs are already retreating! Let's retreat now too! Commander!"
"ah! Shut up! The fight has just started I will kill all of these monsters, all of them! Hahahahaha!" (Jin)
Jin kicked the awakener and sent him flying as he continued to slaughter the fleeing Orcs.
With each passing second Jin was going more and more insane, all the slaughter he carried out has made him extremely bloodthirsty. The very day he first killed those three kids, he has been continuing to become more and more bloodthirsty and cold.
All the previous sadness and guilt he felt when his parents died has now turned into hate for the monsters. With each monster, he slays, his hatred continues to grow instead of reduce.
Just as Jin continued to drown in his hatred and was refusing to hear out the others asking him to stop, he felt a huge amount of magic concentrating and approaching him with huge speed.
Jin immediately turned around and sliced the huge fireball with his great sword. He negated that magic by forcefully destroying its core.
Although the attack could be considered a backstab it was not really powerful enough to even slay a single adult Orc. But it sure brought Jin back to sanity. And the blood thirst in his eyes disappeared all of a sudden.
Just when Jin was about to say something a woman in a mage's clothing walked towards him and slapped him on the face.
"You finally stopped, you disgrace of a commander! How long are you planning to go berserk, have you gone insane!" (Anna)
