At this time, there was no sound in the room where Sakshi and the rest were watching the heart-shaking battle. No sound and no movement at all. It was as if there were no humans in the room, but some mannequins. No one was willing to believe what happened in front of their eyes. Sakshi turned her eyes and looked at the clock. The moment she looked at the time, her pupils shrunk rapidly and her breathing also quickened. She whispered in a small voice, "1 hour....5 minute."
As if it was some sort of magical words, everyone's eyes turned fanatical as well as their bodies trembled. The old man suddenly laughed foolishly with tears at the corner of his eyes.
"HAHAHAH! I never thought I would get to witness the birth of another Heavenly genius from our own country, from India! Thank you, god, to let me be able to witness this before I die. HAHAHA!"
No one refuted his words and instead nodded their heads with a smile at the corner of their lips. Who wouldn't be happy if their country manages to raise another heavenly genius? But they knew now was not the time to celebrate. They had to understand more about the character of this Asura. Although they could see that whatever he did was for something, they didn't know what it was. Yes, you heard it right. They couldn't see what it was that Saksham was chasing after. For the privacy reason of the Awakened people, they had to make it so that whatever their deepest desires were, they couldn't see it on the screen.
And even viewing the entire fight was something they shouldn't be doing. That's why the old man hesitated in the beginning when Sakshi asked him to open the inner view mode to see how Saksham was fighting. But due to Sakshi having a much higher authority than him, he had to oblige and therefore opened the inner view mode for her. But fortunately, due to that, they were able to see all this incredible show of power that blew their minds.
The actual grading of the Comprehensive Combat Power is done by the AI which grades it on the basis of how many bots the Awakened killed in a certain amount of time as well as how long the person was able to stay inside. This way, someone is graded as E, D, C, B, A, or S as their Comprehensive combat Powers.
At this time, one of the main executives of the IOEA asked, "So, what now?"
Another main executive said, "Well, if I am not wrong, whatever that Asura was chasing is not a thing, but a person. Although we can't see who it is, we can see that this guy is not an absolutely manic killing machine who doesn't care about humans."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean he can't be an evil person. What if he becomes another threat to the country? What then?" A woman said.
"Hmmm...Well, everyone is right in their places. I think our best bet is to make him a friend and an ally if possible. If we can't make an ally, then we can just be friends but not an enemy. As long as there is a friend like this on our side, maybe we can get help in dire straits." The oldest one in the group said.
As soon as they heard this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. They also thought that this was right. Sakshi also nodded at this point. From what she saw up until now, this man named Asura is really an extraordinary person. The feeling she got from him was very unpredictable. She felt that if Asura would join the partnership program with IOEA, it will bring a big change to their current situation.
At this time, the old man suddenly spoke, "Mr. Asura is about to wake up. Stand a bit far, Ms. Sakshi. Looking at his mental activity before the whole simulation ended, he might still be agitated. For safety purposes, let's not stand too close to him for now."
Sakshi nodded and walked back and stood behind the group of main executes. And as she did this, Saksham also opened his eyes abruptly. As he opened his eyes, he jumped down the floating chair.
As his feet touched the ground, he lowered his center of gravity and looked around vigilantly. There was confusion flashing in his eyes. This is normal as the Hyper Occulus has a feature which confuses the wearer a little into making up a big battlefield in his head then also make the wearer think he/she can get what they desire the most. And Saksham was wearing the Hyper Occulus for an hour, so the confusion after waking up is also normal.
But after a while of observing, Saksham calmed down and the confusion was also swept away and replaced by crystal clarity. Saksham also stood up straight and took a deep breath. He had to admit that Hyper Occulus is really a powerful gadget. He almost couldn't distinguish the reality and the simulation created by it. But now that he calmed down, he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him. When he entered the simulation, there was only the old man there but now the whole room was filled with people. The only person he recognized in the whole group was the woman he met on the floor above.
Before Saksham could ask what was going on, Sakshi walked forward again and asked, "Are you feeling alright now Mr. Asura?"
Saksham also nodded light and said in a hoarse voice, "I am fine. But I don't think I have heard that 12 people grade the Comprehensive Combat power of an Awakened."
Sakshi laughed brightly as she heard Saksham's words. She smiled and said, "Of course not, Mr. Asura. Grading does not require humans at all. We all are just here because we want to once again invite you to join our partnership program."
