[You have received an heirloom].
"Heirloom?! from a demon rank enemy?! "
Ajax opened and checked his heirloom's description.
[Description: Abyssal Axe]
Type of Weapon: Weapon (Axe)
Rank: Legendary
Abilities: Corrosion,Loyalty]
[Corrosion: gradually degrade enemy]
[loyalty: Axe has the ability to fly back to its owner.]
"At the very least, I have something with which to defend myself.Now I should go back. "
With a blinding light, Ajax found himself back home. Once again he felt nauseous, but it wasn't as bad as the first time. Ajax stood up and observed the room. Some of the walkers had already woken up and were assisted by the doctors, while some still hadn't returned.
'Either they are dead or still completing their trials. I should also probably hide my ability and say that it's just a normal incarnation heritage.
Ajax stood up and was also guided to the counseling room, where they'll be interviewed and measured.
Inside the room, there were a few walkers like him standing in groups, and in the middle was a device that would measure how much power they gained after the trials. The first test was physical strength and speed, while the second test was magical ability.
Ajax observed quietly, checking the students testing themselves, when he noticed a crowd forming on the test platform.
"Hey, isn't that Stellar Reese? from the legacy clan Divine Spark? I heard she received a bestowed name! "
"Really? That's awesome! Let's go see what she's doing! "
Ajax heard different groups discussing the individual named Stellar Reese.
It appears she's from a Legacy clan. Might as well see what they're capable of.
Ajax approached the tester and saw Stella punch the machine, making a loud noise as if a truck was hitting a wall. The machine soon displayed the score of her punch.
[Punch strength: 523 kg]
'523 kg?! As expected of a 'legacy prodigy'
Loud noises of gasping and cheering were heard from the testing room. Ajax waited for the students to finish and leave before he started his own test to avoid attracting attention to himself. Ajax took a stance and punched with all his might.
[Punch strength: 743 kg]
Ajax was stunned by how much force he could release, even outclassing the Legacy prodigy.
"743 Kg! "Not bad.. I mean, as expected of me heh
Then an idea came to Ajax. What if he used the Void armament on his arms and punched the measurer? Ajax used the ability void armament and soon a black smooth substance with red glowing lines on it covered his fist and wrist. Ajax took a stance and delivered a devastating punch to the tester.
[Punch Strength: 1324 Kg]
"This much increase in my attack power?! 'Truly a skill worthy of ancient rank.."
Ajax also noticed how his punch got faster and his knuckles more durable. Sadly, Ajax doesn't have any magical abilities as of right now, so he went back home and had some goodnight sleep.
The next day, Ajax decided it was time for him to go to the academy and learn a few things. He wore the standard clothing he bought with his hard-earned money.
"There goes my wallet and trusty piggy bank. What a shame."
The academy was big since it had multiple domes for different practices and terrains that could help in walkers' training. Ajax signed up and soon went to find his room. Luckily, the university provided clothes and food for free, or else he'd be starving by now.
In the cafeteria, people were divided into groups. On the far side were the groups of legacies. They were the elite. While on the middle part, where most of the students gathered, Ajax took a tray and got everything he could fit in the tray and started feasting. Afterwards, Ajax stood up and finally picked a class to focus on. There were a few classes that caught his interest. The combat classes and survival classes
"While the combat classes are good for practicing combat, I think the survival classes are better since I can learn combat from other people."
Ajax went to the room of survival classes where he was taught different things, from starting a fire to tracking. Months passed by like a breeze. Ajax made sure to practice both combat and survival skills, although he mostly focused on survival classes.
"The spatial rift will soon reopen... hopefully I won't be sent somewhere desolate."
Spatial rifts act as gates for different dimensions, but they don't have a fixed method of teleportation, rather it can sometimes be random and send you somewhere else. Ajax trained a lot harder in the past few months in order to survive his first venture into the outlands. He trained his body and increased his mastery of Void Armament. The void armament only increased in mastery when it was activated for a long time and absorbed impacts. Ajax always turned it on when training, thus gaining a lot of mastery, but this training method was hard as it depleted his astral energy.
"Tomorrow.. Tomorrow, all 2000 students will be sent to the outlands. No one knows where or who will survive, but the chances are low. Hopefully I won't get sent somewhere else. "
The next day, Ajax prepared himself and went to the Rift Teleportation Center as instructed by the teachers. It was time to challenge the outlands.
