Present year 6009
The council made all the decisions in this country and the name of country where ohma lives is MALAR while council is known as MALAR WARLOCK COUNCIL. A small country which was adjoining VERDANTO on one side and ocean on other. Verdanto being one of the superpowers in the world.
Similar to this there were many countries and organisations ruling in this world but only a few were governed by entities that were truly at the peak of the world.
With the increasing power came increase in their needs which lead to them exploring the cosmos. After independence from world government scientific discovery took a huge leap in outer spaceships by copying the excavated ships led to discoveries in outerspace. Many planets were discovered where human societies were civilised and many planets with diffrent species were enslaved. XANDAR was one such planet which had developed tech far above compared to humanity and had resisted but was eventually subdued. Since they were excellent mechanics and researchers they weren't enslaved but equal contracts were made between them. Xandar wasn't the only planet with which humanity had equal contracts there were many more.
in MALAR there were 568 cities such as Soma in comparison Soma was a rather weak in power.
*********
Ohma ended up reading the whole book which took him approximately 3 hours he was amazed since his powers awakened his mental capacity was also increasing he didn't feel fatigued in the slightest. He could feel his power was still increasing compared to when he took test.
Ohma proceeded for other section which provided information about Warlocks
Below rank 18 there were two types of warlocks one who were born as normal mutations and their power originated from their bodies only while there were other warlocks who along with inherently strong body, were also born with affinity with a particular element such as wind, water, fire, light, darkness, wood, or sometimes they were rare such as thunder, space and even time.
There were also warlocks with beastly powers who called themselves as the descendants to star beast that assaulted the titans in ancient times. Though in actuality they only inherited some feeble mutations due to thier ancestors who came in contact with the star beasts. Even those mutations were sealed and inherited by their decendents by the suppression from the will of GAIA.
Ohma kept on reading and after three days he came out of library he was astonished how he didn't even need food to stay awake for whole three nights.
Coming out of Library ohma looked ahead and a staff was coming towards him
" Mr. ohma commander has summoned you in his office, please"
ohma nodded and followed the staff reaching the office ohma again realised how luxurious the cities were compared to town he came from but he had to acknowledge again might makes the right.
Entering the office he saw two people sitting on the luxurious sofa feeling relaxed
" You are ohma " the man asked ohma looking up and down he analysed, ohma's look was very ordinary
" Yes sir he's the kid, I told you about" said commanding officer
" Wonderful kid wonderful we are from acadamy no. 7 situated in Savlon and we are the second best academy in the entire Malar for warlocks. Government has given us your custody for next three years and all your expenses will be given by government and we will be responsible for your training and .."
"Excuse me sir but I need to ask you something"
".. yes go ahead" the man felt displeased but he allowed.
"wasn't my training supposed to be for six months, what do you mean by 3 years."
Ohma also gained some information about latebloomers who were adopted by government for 6 monts. Basic training proper use of thier powers was taught to warlocks. Information about the individual was stored in government data. In a way the person was in constant supervision of government and their behaviour was thouroughly analysed by them.
There was silence for a few seconds and then the other man opened his mouth
"Be grateful kid that Government is going that far for you, since you are from town we need to teach you everything from scratch it takes more effort and investment than you can think and no need to get worried, 6 months later you will definitely be allowed to leave if you want to do so and if there arn't any potential risks in doing so" replied other guy in a grim tone.
"Any more doubts "
"No sir "
Ohma got his entry card and Soma city residency ID chowdok was quite enthusiastic about it.
Ohma wanted to ask why wasn't he allowed to study in no. 1 academy but no. 2 but he already had his answer. He'd seen an article in library about the seats for no.1 academy were already fixed for children of high ranking warlocks or those providing high donations. While power was imortant connections and money was also important if you don't want to do everything by yourself.
Ohma understood might makes right according to them he had potential but still was only rank 7 a low ranking warlock.
Reaching his room ohma again packed his luggage this was second time in a week.
The take-off station ohma saw a majestic 50 meter black airship. It was ready to take off he entered it and saw the two officers chatting now, he noticed they didn't even tell him their names .
After around 3 hours of flying ohma was quite bored just than the two officers entered his chamber for briefing.
"Ohma we are about to reach our academy. It contains almost all the facilities required for growth of warlocks also just to keep you away from prying eyes we have reported you as a rank 5 warlock "
" What do you mean by prying eyes "
"Naturally there are other organisations in dark who may act against you cause of your potential that is the reason council came up with a solution we want you to lay low for a while and in some time it will be revealed that your growth was a product of your hardwork"
Ohma was feeling suspicious since he read many books from library and magazines he knew the current council had a tight control over the country and almost all the dark organisations were suppressed and also that nagging feeling in his mind since he came on spaceship.
boooooooooooom
Just when ohma was pondering there was a blast on the ship shook wildly, alarms were on and autopilot started sending distress signals.
" There is a barrier we can't contact outside" came a reply from men stationed in control chamber.
Ohma felt perplexed just when he wanted to inquire the spaceship shook violently and he almost fell down but thanks to his quick reflexes he stood up and than came the feeling of great danger this was first time in ohma's life he felt like that so he didn't hesitated for a second and smashed the floor of airship and tore it enough to pass for one man and without delay jumo through it
" what .. that idiot how dare he.."
One of the officers started shouting
But before he could countinue the autopilot started sending high energy accumulation signals and without thinking twice both of them followed suit.
****
Ohma while falling from the sky notices there were around 5 airships surrounding them and all of them were as good as the one falling down leaving a trail of smoke behind.
Just when he touched the ground ohma pushed himself towards left according to the screen he saw in airship there 38 kilometres away was a city and showing his residence and academy proof he will be allowed entry.
But before he went 200 meters a thin man appeared 50 meter from him seeming relaxed.
" our commander needs to talk to you come with m--"
Before he could even finish his words there was a hand on his face and was dragged with a lot of force breaking several trees on succession but what hurt him were big boulders he was smashed through.
Ohma didn't relaxed while he was running first when the airship was struck he felt maybe they were there to kidnap him or to offer him to join them but next second his fantasy was shattered and the airship was shattered along with one of officers while the other one was held back by them.
Ohma didn't stop he felt like power was coursing through him and he could crush everything he wasn't able to see how strong the two were but he knew he was weaker than them but now he felt like he could crush them together. while he was running unknowingly his irises started turning yellow, his muscles hardened and his body was about to burst through his clothes.
Running his speed exceeded 150km/hr but he didn't felt safe and then he heard a wretched scream from one of officers.
While ohma was running with his full might a man was observing him from the spaceship.
" rank 5, what a rip-off" he scoffed
He had recieved a report about rank 5 rookie from their spy in academy 2 and that two officers were send to fetch him as usual, so he came here. But when he saw his rank 7 underling was caught like a doll and smashed around by the rookie his eyes shone immediately, he understood there was an underlying scheme from one of council members since many promising candidates were scammed using nanotech and neurogenes. This wasn't first time but it was too late to convince him to join their cause since he almost blew him up. He regretted a bit but made his decision, now that ohma was above rank 7 he could even match those basterds fron academy 1. Ohma became an uncertain element who needed to be removed.
" Shitu go immediately kill that boy ."
" yes sir"
" take Ana with you."
shitu was his right hand and a rank 10 warlock so without a doubt the boy was dead but just in case he also send mahima a rank 9 warlock who was about to advance rank 10.
with that the commander went to join the battle aginst two officers.
*******
Ohma while running squeezed the head and threw away the body of man. He sensed danger ahead so he stopped and jumped backwards, immediately there was a 20meter long gash on the ground he didn't knew how deep it went but it would have definitely hurt.
" Wow what fine reflexes, you really are something else " said a man grinning while floating in the air.
Ohma jumped upwards and suddenly several slashes came from behind him. he didn't had any fine reflexes it was all because of his ability. Everytime before something bad happened he would get a warning and escape immediatly, that's how he escaped the ship.
Ohma understood the man must have affinity with air while falling he wanted to push himself up but found that ground was missing instead there was a hole underneath. Ohma was buried he couldn't breathe it was a first for him getting buried alive.
Ohma felt angry he didn't even knew them but was attacked so brutally. If they only wanted his allegiance he might have thought about it but from start they intended to kill him first that airship blast now getting buried alive. He tightened his muscles to the limit and squeezed every bit of power inside him.
" Work done, he was quite strong for a rookie" said the girl while giggling.
" we should leav--"
suddenly there was a tremor from underground and a hand came from beneath grasping the leg of girl and dragging her.
" what" shitu started floating even higher he couldn't shoot or might hurt his ally but he also started accumulating power. A 100m large eagle, made of wind appeared in the air strong enough to destroy a airship in one strike. He kept the attack floating while accumulationg even more power.
boooom
With a boom the ground exploded and figure was thrown out of it it was the girl with her neck bent in an unnatural angle she still had a surprised expression.
Shitu caught the body and started waiting it only took 5 second with another boom ohma flew out.
*****
Ohma threw away the girl so that the man might misfire and he will have chance to take the lead but after 3 seconds nothing happened he understood he was too naive and remaining underground would only give other guy more time and he even had allies nearby with that ohma came out of ground.
Coming out he saw a huge shadow in the shape of eagle aimed at him. ohma understood this attack was strong enough to destroy an airship, avoiding it was impossible since the impact will be quite wide so he braced himself for impact crossing his hands in X.
boooom there was another large boom and ground exploded to bits
" that's it finally, that bitc--"
while shitu was speaking a figure came at him almost with double his speed he was already spent with that attack and needed some time to accumulate that much energy. He started firing projectiles at ohma but the hand eventually reached his throat in almost 3 seconds and tightly grapes it.
Now shitu could clearly see the figure standing before him. the person had complete white hairs and some weird designs were on his exposed skin except face. His eyes were golden with red iris. and he was also levitating in air a sign of rank 10 or higher. There was a golden glow surrounding his body which slowly started fading away leaving a golden skin.
Shitu felt desperate first because he was going to die second there was an uncertain factor between council and HEATHENS the organisation he worked for.
He joined this organisation 5 years ago as a victim of unjust policies by council and he had the chance to see leader of his organisation once. He was awed just by his presence. This kid in strength is incomparable to leader but the horrific feeling he had a few seconds ago that existence was leagues above Dark Master.
*****
And with a crunch I crushed his neck.
I observed myself and felt power coursing through my body. for a second I felt like I was going to die but next second I got stronger. I had read about it to sometimes to breakthrough ranks people go for dangerous adventures and use machinery to push their bodies and mind to limits.
It wasn't a pleasant experience and I swore to never again face a enemy being uncertain.
What a deadly combo. the girl was a warlock with affinity for earth if he didn't used his senses he would have definitely be in more though spot.
