If this was his stats, he wonders what are the stats of the people who are at the lowest rank etc. Bronze 3. He checked again and saw that he doesn't have any skills, nor a rank. He was also wondering what could a title be, but he paid no mind to it and just kept to the thought of how he could get some skills.
He then looked at his ability again, Divine-Demonic Force Manipulation. He didn't know what it is no he went to the net and searched it. He searched for a types of abilities that was similar to him but surprisingly enough nothing came on. He only saw that this ability we're used by Demon and Angel Hybrids that we're called Nephalems. While reading this information he also saw that Nephalems we're to be exterminated if there ever appeared one since they were dangerous and had nigh omnipotence to the point they could be called a God, or a new creator.
Upon reading this, of course he didn't believe he was one, he was still an ordinary human with an ability. He didn't even know how to use it in the first place. Although he wanted to see what it was he just decided to sleep it off and do it on his free time tomorrow. As he closes his eyes he suddenly felt a weird cold and hot sensation tingling inside him, after that he saw two forces thet kept colliding over and over again inside him. He woke up in 5 minutes and he was already sweating as hell.

[3 New Skills Granted]
He was in shock when he see this and went to check it out instantly. Another tab was then made when he thought of skills and there appears to be 3 new stuff in there too. The first one he saw Healing, the second one was Holy Fire Manipulation/Hell-Fire Manipulation which means he could control these two types of fire at once, and the final one was Energy Perception. These 3 also had some information on them
Healing: Heal yourself and numerous amounts of people at a very high level with just a wave of the hand. (The usage of mana depends on the size of the wound) [Lvl 1]
Holy Fire Manipulation/Hell-Fire Manipulation: Gives you the power to manipulate the mystical flames of hell and the power to manipulate holy flames, which embodies the Purifying aspect of Fire. (3 mana per second of usage}
Energy Perception: Possess the ability to see the energies that flow through the universe (2 mana per second of usage)
He wanted to try the Holy Fire/Hell Fire Manipulation but he didn't do so for the fear of burning down that dorm. He wanted to go out just to test the ability but it was quite late already and decided to test it tomorrow. But unlike the fire manipulation, there was still healing and energy perception that will not be harmful to people around him.
As he was gonna grab a sharp knife to give himself a small cut, he was questioning himself if it would work. After all, a screen was only telling him about this, he still wasn't sure if it would actually work. Even if he did feel something from his earlier nap. The nurse also told him that he had a slight fever so it might just be that.
And that brings him to his final decision to test Energy Perception first. He closed his eyes and inwardly thought of energy perception, he wasn't sure if it works this way or there's another procedure to do this. But surely enough, he felt a hint of coolness in his eyes, as he opened his eyes, he saw waves of different colors around him. What he was seeing was mana and other energies that reside in the world. The only energy he currently knew so when he saw this energy a tab will appear saying that it was mana.
He was now curious how it could be helpful in a battle, but this also told him that the skills he gained were real. He used Energy Perception for 3 seconds which depleted his mana by 6, giving him only 14 mana left. He noticed that the amount of mana that healing use depends on the size of the wound he was healing. It made him think that as long as someone is alive and he has a lot of mana could he bring back someone who was almost at the verge of dying. But he erased these thought because it was still too early for him to think so.
He used the knife to make a little cut on his finger, although it didn't hurt him he still felt the little sting when he did it. He then did the same of what he did before and thought of healing with his eyes opened and surely enough it healed, healing used 1 mana making him have 13 mana left and decided to sleep and test the last one tomorrow since he needed a bigger space, and also more mana.
He woke up, took a bath made and eat breakfast, wore his clothes and made his trip to the classroom. He was walking quietly and he also saw some people taking some glances at him. "Did something happen while I was gone?" he inwardly thought. Of course he didn't ask because he had very low status in the school. He looked at one girl who was at his right side by accident and in that little time he looked at her, he noticed that the girl was kind of flustered red and averted her gaze instantly.
He couldn't read what was happening and just went directly to his classroom, when he entered he received the same gazes from when he was walking down the hall. He even heard someone ask their seatmate if he was a transfer student, and yes, today for the first time he wasn't the first one who arrive at school. He went to his seat and sat down and then the people suddenly had surprised faces while others were at disbelieving.
He was confused of why they thought he was a different person but he didn't pay mind to it. When they were taking attendance even the teacher was surprised about this. Break then came and 3 he saw 3 people ganging up on him. The one leading them was the personal bully of Aiden, Chad. "I didn't think that I almost got scared from you for a moment there" Chad abruptly said after cornering Aiden.
Aiden was still trying to take in everything people around him we're saying, and also why they had such surprised expressions. After about 3 rounds of beating, Aiden came out with a bruise on his face and a somewhat okay arm, so he went to the bathroom to wash himself. As he was washing his face, he understood why people we're looking at him weirdly. He didn't realize it but his hair became black which was originally brown, his eyes became crystal black and his face also got smoother and whiter. His pimples and acne were gone and he also got somehow taller and a more chiseled body which made him more attractive and different to the original Aiden.
When he was getting beat up, Chad also said to meet him at the back of the auditorium in school. Aiden couldn't help but only say yes, he fixed his schedule and instead of going somewhere else to test the holy/hell fire manipulation on an outside area he now decided to use it later at the back of the auditorium, at Chad, personally.
With Aiden's new look, although people still say that he has no ability, he was still someone who can earn money by being a model, or prostitution. Although he had no ability it was without a doubt that some girls would still be over him because of his good looks. I guess even in a world, where abilities were important, anyone with good looks was still a priority.
This was the first time Aiden felt that the time was really slow. Although he was fearing it, he was still excited about it cause he wanted to know how his skill would work. He waited, and waited and waited, and waited, he would constantly stare at the clock in the classroom.
-Ringggg-
The bell rang and Aiden was now heading to the back of the auditorium, although he was excited about it, he became disappointed very fast. Why you say? It was because of the mana consumption of the skill, each time he uses it he would have his mana decreased by 15, and right now he only had 20, which means it was only a one time use.
He sighed at this and he decided for himself that its now or never, he slowered his pace with a huge disappointment on his face. He arrived there at the back just in time and as he expected there were three people there with Chad again as the leader upfront. At Chad's hand was a sharp metal object, this object was the one that cause many scars in Aidens body. "Just because I haven't seen you in a few days you decided to take your life easy and change huh?" Chad said in an arrogant way.
Aiden decided not to be afraid since he knew that the screens and everything he was seeing was real, and since it was real there was a high chance that he could become powerful and he would trample over him soon. He decided to overcome all his fears before he decides to get stronger. "Are you getting sad that you don't have anyone to vent your anger after people has been calling you with your real name? Chad, Ass...." Exactly as Aiden said, Chad's real name was Chad Ass. Although he was powerful with a rank of Bronze 2. he dare not get into any trouble. When he heard that an abilityless person joined the school, he became happy because he already knew that people wouldn't care about a vermin like him.
He started bullying Aiden that day he heard it and has been doing it nonstop for 8 years. When Chad directly heard this words, he thought he was hearing things, but unfortunately he wasn't, although his so called companions at his side were almost gonna laugh, he instantly gazed to his side and the laughter they were supposed to let out disappeared.
chAd then looked at Aiden with an angered face, while Aiden was chilling at the opposite side with a satisfied face. Chad let anger control him and took the initiative to strike first, Aiden expected this since he already knew that Chad was a short witted person and also short tempered, if someone were to lose their cool in a fight, that guy will solely focus on one spot that can easily kill a person or make them feel constant pain.
With this in mind, even if Chad was faster than him, he could dodge it since he knew how Chad would react, he tried neck chopping Chad but that didn't work since his body was hard as steel. Chad then looked at him with a devilish smirk and decided to do a left hook, Aiden couldn't react in time and got hit hard at the face. He was almost sent flying but before he could even reach a right hook was given next.
He was now constantly getting beaten from left to right while Chad was constantly laughing. Aiden could only helplessly stand there getting pushed from right to left, each punch was like a metal bat that could hit a homerun. Without being able to do something, Aiden was there who was now thinking about hell fire and holy fire. The exact time he thank of it, A white, orange fire suddenly appeared on his right hand, his right hand turned black with white markings, while his other hand turned whiter than white with black markings holding a Blacky Red Flame.
With this at hand, the hell fire suddenly hurted Chad's soul, while the Holy Fire hurted Chad's outer appearance and was ruined. Chad immediately ran away, his hand was burning and he was getting headaches and his memory was getting hazy. His companions followed him in pursuit to bring him back.
