The so-called 10 seconds that the system promised was, of course, a lie.
It took a whole 1 hour and 30 minutes before White finally crawled out of the pool.
The pain from electrocution was gone, yet a faint sound of lightning crackling could be heard with every movent he made.
[Congratulations on Absorbing Remnant Wrath Lightning.]
[Rewards:
30 Attributes to Strength and 40 Attributes to Agility]
Navigating to his stats, it looked sothing like this:
[STATS]
[Strength: 100]
[Agility: 110]
[Spirit: 66]
[Combat Power: 214]
"Seems like fighting Gustav and absorbing his lightning will directly impact power. Might be the only student worth fighting."
White mused to himself, but then an idea crossed his mind.
[But what if I copied Gustav’s Wrath Emissary Ability?]
"Won’t that an I’ll have all the power I need?"
He mused before asking,
’Hey system?’
[Yes.]
’When will I get another awakening slot?’
His awakening slot the last ti had 1, and with it he was able to copy Nova’s Limitless Ability.
But ever since, it had not shifted from zero. Not even after his evolution into the Star Realm.
[You’ll get it... when you’ll get it.]
’Huh?’
[I don’t know, really. I guess it happens when you’ve reached a specific level of strength.]
"Maybe when I’ve mastered the Limitless Awakening?"
He asked.
It will make sense if a slot only appears when he had fully mastered the forr copied awakening.
[It takes ti to fully master an awakening, years even. I think you’re close to getting one already, so... that can’t be the criteria.]
It replied, and he humd quietly before shrugging it off.
’Even Limitless for now is enough. I don’t have to rush it.’
He mused to himself before stepping out of the essence room, reaching for his bedroom.
When he dressed up in a new uniform, the watch flashed.
[Next Class]
[Cultivation Theory.]
[Ti: Move to the Class Now!]
It said, and White clicked his tongue.
He had thought he would be able to run to the cafeteria and have sothing.
Seems like that won’t be happening.
Still, his new strength gave him the needed energy, and he stepped out of his dorm room in the direction of the class.
_____
7 hours later...
"Ahhhhh,"
White exhaled as he finally stepped out of the building, the air wheezing by his face.
Behind him, students also gushed out, moving out.
The cultivation theory class was easier than the rest of the classes.
What the students were taught was mostly how they can turn all of their basic cells into awakening cells, and since White had already done that, It didn’t require 100% of his concentration.
They had all been given a duration of 2 weeks to reach the Awakening Stage.
Only after that would they proceed to the lesson on how to move up from the Beginning Stage of the Star Realm, the stage he was in, to the Peak of it, then breaking through to the realm after it.
GRUUUM!
His stomach growled in protest and he looked down at it, snickering.
’I guess I’ll go to the cafeteria.’
He moved towards that direction, but he had not walked far when his eyes caught the silhouette of soone.
"Nova?"
He mused, looking at her back, but then he shrugged, continuing on his way when he noticed sothing...soone.
She was following behind Nova, and what was more, it was soone he’d seen before.
The pink-haired neighbor of his.
The sight of her instantly made his eyes furrow, especially when he saw the grin on her face as she caught up to Nova, while Nova’s face was more or less without any emotion.
Both walked together, continuing into the distance.
’Friends or...’
He thought, debating on whether to tail them.
His answer ca when he noticed they weren’t heading in the sa direction as the dorm rooms where all the students were going, nor where they going to the cafeteria.
Were there any other place two girls, with one of them a psychopath, could be heading together at 10:00 at night?
In the end, White decided to follow both girls.
He stayed far away to not be seen, and they both continued walking, soon reaching a peculiar area of the school, and arriving before a building.
They went in, and couple minutes after, White also appeared before the building.
His eyes narrowing on the words at the top of it.
"Xcyber Training Building."
He mused beneath his breath before he followed in, was a wide expanse, with nobody except for a couple of staff, and he walked towards one of them.
"I’m with those two girls who just ca in. Mind telling their training room?"
He asked a man who was busy chatting with a female staff mber, and he pointed at a teleporter before quickly continuing the conversation.
White followed, taking the teleporter.
When he reappeared, he found himself before a large training hall.
Different machines and equipnt, different rooms with labels such as:
Anti-gravity training, Zero Anchor Room, and the rest.
But what caught his attention was still the center of the hall where two girls currently stood on the battle stage.
It was none other than Nova and the pink-haired girl, having taken off their uniforms to reveal the more figure-hugging inner wears.
White hid himself at a corner, watching what would happen and trying to listen to their conversation.
When he learned the truth, he slapped his forehead.
He had thought that psychopath girl was trying to lure Nova away and bully her, but he couldn’t have been more wrong.
They had both sohow beco friends, and it was Nova who had asked the girl to spar with her to improve her control of Limitless.
’Tsk, I feel like a jerk.’
He decided to leave as quietly as he ca but he had not moved far when,
VROOOOM!
The air behind his neck was sliced apart as he dodged to the side, flashing away from where he stood.
A claw running with pink energy slamd into the training walls, cracking its surface, though they began to mysteriously nd themselves right after.
The purple-haired girl turned her annoyed eyes to look at the sneaking bastard, only for her eyes to widen at the sight of him.
"Wow. You’re a pervert!?"
